After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

After leaving the village chief's house, Ye Xunqing went to find Yang Qin. He got the meat today from her. She didn't ask for money, so Ye Xunqing brought a lot of mooncakes to them in the evening.

Ye Zongkuan was there too. He knew that Yang Qin had given the meat to her nephew, but when he heard that Ye Xunqing was going to send mooncakes over in the evening, he kept silent.

Ye Xunqing asked Feng Jingheng to wait for him outside with a basket. He went in alone with the mooncakes. As soon as he entered, he saw Ye Zongkuan sitting in the yard sharpening a knife.

"Uncle-in-law." Ye Xunqing called out, "Have you had dinner? I brought you some mooncakes."

Ye Zongkuan couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, "Give it to me and let me try it."

Ye Xunqing picked out a meat one for him. When Ye Zongkuan took a bite, not only did the crispy skin pop all over his mouth, but the taste of the meat filling also hit him immediately.

"Hmm..." Ye Zongkuan ate a mooncake in two or three bites, then took another one and said, "Go give it to your aunt and grandma."

Ye Xunqing reminded him, "Uncle-in-law, the one you just took is the five-nut one, and it tastes sweet."

Ye Zongkuan didn't care, "Well, I'll try it."

Ye Xunqing took the mooncakes in.

Yang Qin and Wen Xiyan were busy, so Ye Xunqing came out after a few words, saying he would bring them some mooncakes next time. Ye Zongkuan's lame mother stood there looking at him, probably annoyed.

When going out, Ye Xunqing greeted Ye Zongkuan again, but Ye Zongkuan had already finished eating the mooncakes.

"Xunqing, your cooking skills are really good." Ye Zongkuan said with a smile: "Next time you want to eat meat, come to my uncle-in-law. He will give you the best meat."

Ye Zongkuan is not a good man, but he is definitely not a stingy person. Yang Qin had given a lot of things to Ye Xunqing's brother before. Although she was inevitably beaten and scolded by Ye Zongkuan afterwards, Ye Zongkuan never asked her to take the things back.

He and Yang Qin have no children and probably won't have any in the future, so now he has to think about what he will do when he gets old. He does have nephews at home, but they are not close to him, so he has to make more plans.

He had not been optimistic about Ye Xunqing before, as he was weak and knew nothing. But after he fell into the water last time, he suddenly became a different person, becoming not only very strong-willed but also a lot more vicious.

Ye Zongkuan intended to have a good relationship with him, perhaps he could even rely on him for retirement in the future.

"Okay." Ye Xunqing also understood clearly that he sent things here every day not to please Ye Zongkuan, but to let Ye Zongkuan know that his aunt was also protected by someone. If you dare to beat her again, I will send someone to beat you up.

In this era, divorce is impossible. Unless Ye Zongkuan divorces Yang Qin, Yang Qin cannot live without Ye Zongkuan.

After leaving Ye Zongkuan's house, Ye Xunqing went to deliver mooncakes to the fisherman who lived alone and the third grandmother.

The fisherman happily accepted it and gave him two sharpened fish hooks. However, the third grandma was hypocritical and said no but kept stuffing mooncakes into her mouth.

The elderly have many stories. When Ye Xunqing was a child, he loved listening to adults tell myths and legends. When he grew up, he was attracted to online stories. Now he suddenly hears mythological stories again and finds them very interesting.

"...Then the King of Hell said: Since you're already here, why not stay and serve as an official?" Third Granny slowly explained, "Zhang Sheng was displeased when he heard that. I've only been in office for a few days, and your ghost messenger from the underworld has mistakenly taken my soul and asked me to stay and serve as an official there. I definitely don't want to do that."

"The King of Hell is the boss of the underworld. He doesn't want to listen to Zhang Sheng at all. No matter how high an official he is on earth, he has to obey me in the underworld." Third Granny's expression turned serious again, as if she were the King of Hell. "Zhang Sheng was furious when he heard this. He made a big fuss in the underworld, disturbing the little ghosts. The judge thought that this shouldn't happen, so he gave the King of Hell an idea..."

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng ate cakes while listening to Third Grandma telling stories. Third Grandma was very happy and kept telling stories from dawn to dusk.

"Finally, the fairy put on her new feathered robe and flew to the Heavenly Palace." After telling the last story, Grandma San smiled and said to Ye Xunqing, "No one has listened to my stories for a long time. I almost forgot them."

"Mother-in-law spoke very well. Next time I will bring Xiaobai and Xiaoyan to listen." Ye Xunqing said.

The third grandmother refused, a hint of sadness on her face, "The children are still young, don't come here so often."

Feng Jingheng leaned close to Ye Xunqing's ear and whispered, "The adults in the village don't let children stay with witches for too long, saying that they will be contaminated by unclean things."

Ye Xunqing said seriously, "It's all feudal superstition. I just think that grandma is quite kind and her stories are very pleasant to listen to, right, grandma?"

His smile was as bright as a spring flower, dazzling Grandma San's eyes.

"Ah, yes." Although Grandma San didn't say anything, she actually wanted to talk and tell stories with the child.

"I'll bring Xiaobai and the others to listen to Grandma's stories some other day." Ye Xunqing promised, "And I'll bring Grandma some delicious food."

The third grandmother was awkward again, "It's up to you."

Ye Xunqing smiled but said nothing.

On the way back, Ye Xunqing gave the last few remaining mooncakes to his favorite Xiaomi, and by the way, told Liu Laiyan about the story of the Third Grandma, and said that he would take them to the Third Grandma to listen to stories.

Liu Laiyan was a little hesitant at first, because it was a rule that villagers should not have too much contact with fortune-tellers, and he didn't want to break the rule.

"Grandma's storytelling is quite entertaining." Ye Xunqing said, "Ah Heng and I listened to it for a long time."

"If you want to cause trouble, go ahead and don't harm our children here," Wang Jingui said unhappily. She was angry when she saw Ye Xunqing because he brought three mooncakes and there were four people in their family.

Liu Laiyan, that greedy guy, didn't even leave any mooncakes for her and ate them directly, which made her very angry.

Ye Xunqing ignored her and continued, "I just said it casually, aunt, don't take it to heart."

Liu Laiyan nodded and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll think about it."

On the way back, Feng Jingheng objected to Ye Xunqing's decision for the first time. "Ah Qing, it's a rule that villagers don't associate with witches. You can't let others listen to the stories of the Third Mother-in-law just because you like them. If something really happens, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Ye Xunqing was indeed inconsiderate. Ghosts and gods still have great importance here, so Ye Xunqing cannot use his own values ​​to demand them.

"Okay." Ye Xunqing said regretfully, "Then I can only go and listen to grandma's stories by myself. Actually, I think grandma is too lonely, and I just want to find someone to accompany her."

"Silly Aqing, there are so many lonely people. Can you take care of everyone's feelings?" Feng Jingheng said.

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "After the pond dried up, many fish were trapped in the shallow water. They were about to die. Then a child appeared and scooped up the small fish one by one into the deep water. The adults said that it was meaningless for him to do this and that he couldn't save all the fish. But the child said that this little fish really cared. I am not a fish, so does An Zhiyu want to be saved?"
