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

Just like the kids say, there’s nothing left after the banquet, not to mention two meatballs, even the soup was finished.

When Ye Xunqing was very young, he attended a big banquet in the countryside. At that time, people were better off and would not eat up all the dishes like they do now.

"Have you finished eating everything?" Ye Xunqing said depressedly, "I thought there would be some left." He looked through the basket and found that all the fried Sanzi were eaten. He had originally thought of leaving some to take home for dinner.

"How could there be any leftovers?" Feng Jingheng looked at his expression and said with a smile, "There's never enough to eat every year. There can't be any leftovers."

"I used to..." Ye Xunqing stopped talking midway, "Okay, okay, forget it if there's nothing left."

If there is nothing left, then he doesn’t want it. He likes to get things for free, but how can he get things for free if he doesn’t have them?

"Brother Qing." Da Mi and Xiao Mi came over to help him clean up. "Brother Qing, the meatballs you made are still delicious."

Ye Xunqing reached out and picked up Xiaomi, then asked affectionately, "Are you full?"

Da Mi smiled sheepishly and said, "We're full. Third Granny and Sister Luzhu gave us some food."

Ye Xunqing said: "That's good, go home quickly after you're full."

"We have to help Brother Qing pack his things." Xiaomi said in a childish voice.

Ye Xunqing put her down and said, "Thank you, Xiaomi. You are so kind."

In ancient times, there were no disposable utensils for banquets. All the utensils used were collected from the villagers' homes. Each person would mark his or her bowl and chopsticks, wash them after use, and take them home.

It’s a bit unhygienic, but the ancients didn’t care about this at all.

Ye Xunqing was quite concerned about this. He planned to take back the things he brought and wash them himself, and then scald them with hot water to disinfect them.

Feng Jingheng knew that Ye Xunqing was very clean, so he said that he would take it home and wash it so as not to bother others.

While his younger brother and sister were helping Feng Jingheng pack his things, Ye Xunqing went over to talk to the village chief.

Ye Hongsheng said happily: "Xunqing, today's banquet is thanks to you!"

Ye Xunqing waved his hand, "It's just a small favor, don't worry about it."

"You're a man of ideas." Wang Qiumei also smiled and said, "I heard from your uncle that you went to Wangjia Village and brought back a large cart of lotus roots, and also caught a lot of fish in the river."

Ye Xunqing smiled shyly, "It's what we should do, it's what we should do."

Ye Hongsheng said seriously, "There is no such thing as what should or should not be done. If you have made a contribution, then you have made a contribution. I will go to the town one day and tell the town magistrate about your and Jing Heng's contributions. The town magistrate will definitely praise you."

A good reputation is very important. Ye Xunqing doesn't have a good reputation in Yejia Village. It's not that he is not decent, but that he is a bit heartless and very fierce. He is not a traditional good daughter-in-law.

But what does it matter? Others can only point fingers at him behind his back, but they can't actually harm him. He doesn't need to take the imperial examination for filial piety and integrity, and neither does Ah Heng.

However, a good reputation among the people is different from a good reputation officially. If the government personally stamps you and says you are a "good person", then even if the villagers have opinions about you, you are still a "good person".

"Keep a low profile." Ye Xunqing smiled brightly, "When the time comes, just give me a plaque for the Ten Good People Who Touched Yutong Town."

Ye Hongsheng and Wang Qiumei didn't understand what he was talking about. "What plaque?"

Ye Xunqing came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I was just kidding."

Ye Hongsheng praised Ye Xunqing for a while before taking his belongings back home.

"Brother." Mo Yuyan walked over. "My mother-in-law said she wanted to give me some herbs. I'll go to her house to get them."

Ye Xunqing was a little worried about him going alone, "Let Xiaobai go with you."

Mo Yuyan said, "Xiaobai and Lan Jie'er are packing their things together, I can go alone."

Ye Xunqing thought about it and felt that it was only a few steps away and there were people in the village, so nothing should happen.

"Okay, go ahead." Ye Xunqing instructed, "Come back quickly after you get the things."

Mo Yuyan agreed: "Yes, I understand."

Third Grandma went home first, and Mo Yuyan followed closely behind her to get her things.

Halfway through the walk, Mo Yuyan suddenly heard a sound in the bushes. He turned his head and saw that it was an old acquaintance.

"What are you doing hiding there?" Mo Yuyan picked up a stone and said, "Get out of here!"

Liu Wangcheng rubbed his hands and said with a sly smile, "Where are you going, little beauty?"

Mo Yuyan was very flustered, but he did not show it on his face, as he could not show any fear.

"What's it got to do with you?" Mo Yuyan pretended to hit him with a stone. "Do you still want to cause trouble?"

Liu Wangcheng laughed, "No, no, I came to talk to you." As he said that, he moved closer to Mo Yuyan step by step.

Mo Yuyan said in shock, "Don't come forward. If you do, I'll smash you to death!"

"That's pretty fierce." Liu Wangcheng was shocked. "Okay, okay, I won't move. Let's just stand here and talk."

Mo Yuyan held the stone tightly, "What do you want to say?" He glanced around to see where it would be convenient to escape.

He was no match for Liu Wangcheng in strength, and certainly couldn't outrun him. This place was still some distance from Third Grandma's house, and he didn't know if Third Grandma could hear him if he called out.

Caught in a dilemma, Mo Yuyan felt a little flustered.

Liu Wangcheng said: "Don't be nervous, my little beauty. I'm not here to do bad things. I'm here to do good things."

Mo Yuyan looked at his shifty look and really didn't know what good this rotten guy could do.

"What good news?" Mo Yuyan talked to him to delay time, praying that someone would pass by soon.

"You're not young anymore, and I'm not young either. Men should get married when they're old enough, so I want to have a happy marriage with you," Liu Wangcheng said with a smile. Their hands were still pressed together, gesturing to Mo Yuyan.

Before, Mo Yuyan was a mute. Although she was beautiful, Liu Wangcheng was unwilling to marry a mute and just wanted to take advantage of her.

But ever since he knew that Mo Yuyan's muteness had been cured, he had other thoughts in his mind.

This boy isn't from Ye Village, and he was bought back. His buyer will eventually sell him for money. He's not worth much, but he's fertile. It's better to...

"You want to marry me?" Mo Yuyan's mind raced, and he forced a smile, "It's a nice idea." Just like his brother said, a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, may look ugly but have beautiful dreams.

Seeing him smile, Liu Wangcheng felt that this was a good thing. "Yeah, you're already so old, you can't always live in Feng Laoer's house, right? Could it be that you want to be Feng Laoer's mistress?"

Mo Yuyan's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? He is my second brother and will always be my second brother. I don't have such thoughts."

Feng Jingheng is indeed a good person, but Mo Yuyan doesn’t necessarily dislike him. He prefers gentle people, like his elder brother.
