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

"Brother Xunqing, are you here to pick cotton too?" Ye Xilan took the initiative to greet Ye Xunqing and the others.

"Yeah." Ye Xunqing continued walking forward with the cotton on his back, "We plan to pick some cotton to make quilts."

"That's what we thought too." Ye Xilan said, "My brother is getting married soon, and time is very tight, so we have to finish the quilt quickly."

Ye Xiyun was not very happy after hearing this, and did not feel the slightest joy of getting married.

He scolded, "Lan'er, don't talk so much."

Ye Xilan puffed out her cheeks and closed her mouth.

Ye Xunqing could see that Ye Xiyun was unhappy, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Aren't you usually the one who loves your sister the most? Why are you willing to blame her today?

Ye Xiyun glanced at Ye Xunqing, shook his head and said, "Nothing. You guys go and get busy, we also have to go pick cotton."

Hearing this, Ye Xunqing didn't ask any more questions and took Ye Xunbai and the others to pick cotton.

Ye Xunbai was not even as tall as the cotton, so Ye Xunqing asked him to stand outside and pick it.

When he was halfway through picking, Feng Jingheng came over, so Ye Xunqing could relax for a while. He saw a lot of flying dandelion-like things by the field, so he wanted to pick some to play with.

Although he is no longer at the age to love playing, Ah Qing is a young man until his death and can play anytime.

As soon as Ye Xunqing left, Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai could no longer stay there. They also wanted to know what their brother had done.

Feng Jingheng asked them to go together and told them to be careful.

After a while, Ye Xiyun suddenly came over.

"Cousin Heng."

Their two families are relatives, so it is appropriate for Ye Xiyun to call him cousin.

"Oh, Brother Yun, are you here to look for Ah Qing?" Feng Jingheng said, "Then you have to wait a moment. He and Xiaobai are out picking radishes for fun."

"No, I'm here to see you." Ye Xiyun asked, "Do you know Wang Jinbao from Wangjia Village?"

Feng Jingheng knew this person and also knew that this was Ye Xiyun's fiancé, so he asked, "Don't you know him?"

Ye Xiyun nodded, then shook her head. "I've only met him two or three times, and I think he listens too much to his mother. I'd like to ask others about him, but my mother won't let me go out lately."

Generally speaking, if a man is about to get married, he has to stay at home for several months without going out and cannot have any contact with men.

Ye Xunqing is an exception. He doesn't care about these messy rules. These broken rules will only affect the speed at which he makes money.

Besides, Ye Laosi and Chen Jinhua couldn't stop him, and it was not certain who would beat whom.

"How should I put it?" Feng Jingheng thought carefully. "I don't know him very well. I only know that his family is well-off, with fields, cows, and pigs. I heard he's quite kind. As for what you said about him only listening to his mother, I'm not sure."

"Okay." Ye Xiyun said again: "Then can you help me find out?"

"No." Feng Jingheng refused. "If I help you find out, others will misunderstand me. I don't want to make Ah Qing unhappy."

He wasn't the type to meddle in other people's affairs. He kept his distance from them and didn't care about anything that didn't concern him. Feng Jingheng hated it most when someone asked him for help, except for Ah Qing, who loved to listen to whatever she said.

Ye Xiyun also expected Feng Jingheng to refuse, but this was his few chances. Today he had finally persuaded his mother to let him come out to pick cotton to make clothes. If he couldn't find someone to help him find out about Wang Jinbao, he would have no chance.

"Ah Heng, Brother Yun, look, we picked a lot of dandelions!"

As they were talking, Ye Xunqing came back. He brought the "dandelion" back specially to blow it away for Feng Jingheng to see.

"Huh~" Ye Xun really liked this thing, "Ah Heng, look, the dandelion is flying!"

Feng Jingheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Ah Qing, this is a radish fruit, not a dandelion."

Ye Xunqing blushed, "Oh, I thought it was a dandelion."

He was still wondering if dandelions only grow in spring. He thought the dandelions here grew differently and were in a different season. It turned out they were not the same thing at all.

When Ye Xiyun saw Ye Xunqing coming back, he planned to talk to Ye Xunqing and ask him to ask Feng Jingheng to help him find out.

But Feng Jingheng didn't give him the chance. Seeing that he was about to speak, Feng Jingheng immediately interrupted, "Ah Qing, where are Xiaobai and the others?"

Ye Xunqing said, "Oh, Xiaobai said this looks like cotton and he wants to pick it to make clothes. Xiaoyan is picking it with him."

Feng Jingheng made up an excuse, "Let's go find them. This thing will itch if it sticks to your body, don't let them pick it off."

"Really?" Ye Xunqing became nervous when he heard that it would be itchy. Children have tender skin, and he couldn't let this thing scratch Xiaobai.

"Yes." Feng Jingheng pulled Ye Xunqing away.

Halfway through the walk, Feng Jingheng took the initiative to tell Ye Xunqing, "Ye Xiyun asked me to find out about his fiancé."

"That sissy boy?" Ye Xunqing said, "Then you can't agree to that. There are some things I can help with, but there are others I can't."

In his previous life, Ye Xunqing had seen too many people accidentally killed due to emotional problems, such as the poor girl who was locked outside by her best friend.

Feng Jingheng went to inquire about the mama's boy. No matter whether the result was good or bad, it would not be beneficial to Feng Jingheng.

If Feng Jingheng said that man was bad, then Feng Jingheng would offend both families. If he said that man was good now but would be bad in the future, then Feng Jingheng would not only offend both families but also Ye Xiyun.

Of course, it is also possible that this man is really good, but the probability is only one-third, and the remaining two-thirds probability is not good.

"Yeah, I feel the same." Feng Jingheng was mainly afraid that Ye Xunqing would misunderstand.

But Ye Xunqing considered more and prepared for the future. He knew very well that the evil of human nature should never be underestimated.

When they returned, Ye Xiyun and his sister had already left. They probably had picked enough cotton.

Ye Xunqing and his companions continued to pick cotton. The cotton matured in batches, so they had to go to the cotton field almost every day to pick all the cotton.

Cotton stalks are also a treasure. They can be used as firewood and are more useful than straw.

Feng Jinghua went out before all the cotton was picked.

In fact, every autumn, the two brothers would go out to work for a few months and come back before the New Year.

Feng Jingheng is not going today, and there is no good work to do in the town, so Feng Jinghua plans to go a little further away.

There was heavy fog on the day Feng Jinghua left. He went out carrying his luggage and wearing old cloth shoes.

Just as he opened the door, he heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw it was Mo Yuyan.

"Is that Xiao Yan? Why are you up so early?" Feng Jinghua asked with a smile.

Mo Yuyan handed him a heavy bag and said, "Use this as travel expenses."

Feng Jinghua refused, "You keep it. I worked so hard to earn money from copying books, but your brother doesn't want it. How can I take it?"

"I don't need it now..."

Feng Jinghua smiled and said, "Keep it. Go find your father and sister for them later."

Mo Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then opened his purse, took out a handful of copper coins and gave them to him. After giving him the money, he immediately went back and locked the door.

Feng Jinghua didn't dare to knock on the door, so he stuffed the copper coin in through the crack in the door.

He left without saying a word, carrying his bag.
