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

They had a quick lunch and then went back.

On the way back, Ye Xunqing asked Feng Jingheng, "My uncle and aunt don't seem to be in our village, right?"

Ye Hongxia continued, "He was here before, but he's moved away now."

"Oh, then why did they move away?" Ye Xunqing asked again.

Ye Hongxia said: "My sister-in-law asked for it, but my brother was easily persuaded and moved away with his family."

"Ah Heng seems to dislike my aunt and the others." Ye Xunqing looked at Feng Jingheng, "Why?"

Feng Jingheng kept a straight face and said nothing, just driving the donkey forward.

Ye Hongxia sighed and said, "His family has no boys, two daughters and a boy. My family has three boys. At that time, Zhu Huayue said that the second boy should be adopted by them. They were also good to the second boy before. You know, the second boy has a bad temper and is stubborn. At that time, he was already sensible and refused to go no matter what."

"So the relationship became strained?" Is that what Ye Xunqing thought?

"No." Ye Hongxia continued, "Then the second boy couldn't resist his uncle and went to live with him for a year, but he never asked to be adopted by them. But a year later, your aunt became pregnant, and the fortune teller said it was a boy, so..."

"So they treated Ah Heng badly, right?" Ye Xunqing was a little angry. "That's too much."

"Not really." Ye Hongxia sighed, "The time was good before the baby was born. Later, when the baby was born and it was indeed a boy, my sister-in-law didn't want the second boy anymore. The second boy packed his bags and ran back home alone that night."

"Heng, be strong!" Ye Xunqing patted him on the back, "I support you."

Feng Jingheng spoke up, "Within a month, the child died of smallpox."

"Ah!" Ye Xunqing sighed, "You have to believe in metaphysics! I heard from the old people that if a couple is destined to have no children, they must have a child to lead the way. If they have a child, they must never abuse the child who guides them, otherwise their biological child will be taken away."

"Who knows?" Ye Hongxia said, "All I can say is that the child is pitiful. My younger brother and sister cried for months and begged the second boy to go to their house, but the second boy refused no matter what we said. So their family still has no son, and they blame the second boy for this."

"That's your brother's problem," Ye Xunqing said. "The seeds your brother provided don't have a certain chromosome, so they can only produce daughters and boys. But what's wrong with daughters and boys? I just like little girls. They're as adorable as Xiaomi!"

The ancients wanted sons to carry on the family line. Without sons, the land would not be inherited.

After hearing this, Ye Hongxia said, "Xiaoqing, you and Jingheng should hurry up and have a child..."

"No." Feng Jingheng refused directly. "We already have enough children at home. It would be very troublesome if there was another one. Mom, please stop talking. We can decide our own affairs."

Ye Xunqing ate the malt candy without saying a word.

Ye Hongxia didn't dare to go against Feng Jingheng, she was relying on Feng Jingheng now.

When I got home, I heard Feng Datong howling in the main room as soon as I walked in. "Help, help, Xiaoan, Xiaoan, Lao San!"

After shouting for a long time, Feng Jingan didn't come out.

"Where's Xiao An?" Ye Xunqing also looked around, "Xiao Jing isn't here either."

Hearing the noise outside, Feng Datong shouted even louder, "Feng Jing'an, you son of a bitch, get in here!"

Ye Hongxia cursed outside: "You called your son a jerk, so you are a jerk! Old man, go ahead and curse, but no one pays any attention to you, you deserve it!"

After scolding her, she returned to her room carrying the things Ye Xunqing had bought for her. Once the door is closed, no one is loved.

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng stood in the yard. In the end, Ye Xunqing poked Feng Jingheng and asked him to go see Feng Datong.

Feng Jingheng walked in with a cold face and soon started arguing with his old father.

"You're hungry, eat by yourself if you're hungry! Without my mother to wait on you, you can't do anything right, right? You deserve it!"

Despite the scolding, Feng Jingheng still brought Feng Datong a bowl of hot soup with rice. He didn't want to see such a mess at home when the New Year was approaching.

Mo Yuyan came out of the room and said to Ye Xunqing, "Xiao An and Xiao Jing have gone to the fields to work. Xiao Jing said he wants to rent cattle from my uncle's family to plow the land."

"What? My uncle-in-law has cows at home?" Ye Xunqing was shocked for the whole year. "Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell me that he had cows?"

Feng Jingheng heard this and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with having a cow?" Ye Xunqing regretted, "If I had known he had a cow, I would have borrowed it. That way, you and Uncle Jiang wouldn't have to pull the plow for several days."

Feng Jingheng smiled and said, "Nothing, I've always been here like this before."

Cows were very precious. In many dynasties, it was not allowed to slaughter oxen for farming privately. Even the emperor could only eat old cows, otherwise it would be a crime.

To borrow a cow, one needs to give something, either money or food. In previous years, Feng Jingheng's family did not have these, so the brothers came on their own.

After getting used to it, Feng Jingheng didn't even think about borrowing an ox this year, and he plowed and harrowed four mu of land by hand. To say it wasn't tiring would be a lie.

Ye Xunqing said, "Next time I plow the fields, I will definitely go to his house to get the oxen."

In the evening, Feng Jing'an and Liu Xiaojing came back with the child. Xiao Xuer had been getting enough nutrition recently, and with Ye Xunqing taking care of him, he was growing rapidly and was much taller than before. Liu Xiaojing could hardly hold him.

As soon as they came back, Feng Jingheng asked them, "Did you go to work?"

Feng Jingan was a little timid, lowering his head and said, "Well, I went to plow the fields."

Liu Xiaojing raised his head and replied, "Second brother, we are going to work in the fields."

"Why didn't you leave any food for father?" Feng Jingheng asked calmly.

Liu Xiaojing replied, "He has to eat the food we leave for him. If he insists on eating meat, where can he get meat?"

Feng Jing'an said, "My father asked me to go cut the meat hanging from your beams, but I didn't go."

Feng Jingheng was very angry and shouted at the window: "You are dreaming, that meat was brought by Ah Qing's aunt, do you have the nerve to eat it?"

That was what Yang Qin brought to her nephew some time ago to nourish his body. Ye Xunqing didn't eat it, so he pickled it with salt and made bacon.

Feng Datong inside remained silent, letting Feng Jingheng scold him. What else could he do? He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him. He was such a coward as a father.

"Feng Datong, you have lost all your dignity!" Ye Hongxia stood in the yard and cursed after hearing the voice: "Xiaoqing was sick a while ago, and you even quarreled with me when I gave you a few eggs. How dare you eat other people's meat now? You eat meat, then you will be fed to the northwest wind!"

After scolding her, Ye Hongxia felt very relieved. "Old thing, I've been bullied by you for decades, but now I've turned the tables!"

"Okay, Ah-niang, Ah-heng, stop talking." Ye Xunqing came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand. "Let's eat. Xiao Jing and Xiao An can also come with us. This way we don't have to go back to cook."
