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

After waiting and waiting, the Lantern Festival is here and Ye Xunqing’s birthday is also here.

This birthday is different from Ye Xunbai’s birthday. Ye Xunqing had no idea about Ye Xunbai’s birthday.

After Yang Qin's reminder this time, Ye Xunqing looked forward to his birthday every day. He was wondering what gifts everyone would give him.

In the past, Ye Qing was the youngest child in the family. His brothers and sisters, father and mother all loved him very much, and his relatives also liked him very much.

On his birthday, his parents would hold a banquet and invite relatives, friends and his classmates to attend.

It was very lively.

Ye Qing’s birthday is not on the Lantern Festival, but during the summer vacation. At that time, many classmates will come to participate. What he likes most is to share cake with his classmates.

But now there are no classmates and no cake.

Yang Qin brought a bowl of longevity noodles early in the morning. The noodles were very long, which meant longer life.

Ye Xunqing had noodles in the morning and the longevity noodles prepared by Ye Hongxia at noon. He was a little tired of eating noodles twice a day.

The children in the school knew that it was the teacher's birthday today, so they gave him gifts they had made themselves. This was Ye Xunqing's request that all the gifts could not cost money and had to be made by themselves.

In this way, even children whose families do not have much money can give gifts to their teachers.

These ancient etiquettes are still very important. It doesn’t matter if Ye Xunqing doesn’t attach importance to them, but they must follow them.

Ye Xunqing was playing with a puppy made of clay by a boy and found it very interesting.

"Ah Heng, look at this puppy. It's so ugly and cute." Ye Xunqing poked its nose. "Its face is crooked."

Feng Jingheng bent down to look at it. "Oh, this is what Ergou gave you, right? I saw him secretly making puppies a few days ago. The ones like this are probably the best looking. The others are uglier."

Ye Xunqing laughed and said, "Then I must keep this puppy as a treasure, otherwise he will cry."

He put the puppy on the table and picked up a bamboo gourd. "Wow, this little thing is quite ingenious. Can a child weave this?"

Feng Jingheng took a look and said, "This was probably woven by the bamboo craftsman."

The bamboo craftsman's surname was also Ye. He was very good at bamboo weaving. Ye Xunqing had asked him to make many things before.

Ye Xunqing pretended to be angry and said, "This kid actually dared to trick me. Tomorrow I will beat his ass to pieces."

Feng Jingheng took the bamboo gourd in his hand and played with it. "It's pretty. Keep it and don't give it back."

Ye Xunqing tied it around his waist and said, "Of course, I won't give back such a beautiful thing. But this kid cheated me, I will definitely not let him go. No one will ask him to braid something else for me, let him braid it himself."

Feng Jingheng smiled and said, "As long as you don't think it's ugly, that's all."

Ye Xunqing likes beautiful things. "Then I'll just beat his butt."

After receiving so many gifts, Ye Xunqing still hasn't seen Feng Jingheng's gift. Among so many people, the gift he most wants to receive is from Feng Jingheng.

But from morning to night, it was almost dark, and Ye Xunqing still didn't receive Feng Jingheng's gift.

"Mr. Xiaoye," several students shouted from the doorway, "Is Mr. home?"

Ye Xunqing responded, "At home, what's the matter?"

"Sir, aren't you going to light a lantern?" The child came in carrying a lantern. "Today is the Lantern Festival, and every household has to light a lantern."

It's a holiday today and Ye Xunqing didn't go out, so he didn't know to light the lanterns.

There are lanterns at home, but they were there before.

"Aheng, do we have new lanterns at home?" Ye Xunqing asked anxiously.

He also wanted to light lanterns and join in the fun.

Feng Jingheng smiled and said nothing.

Ye Xunqing poked him and said expectantly, "You didn't give me a gift today, are you waiting for me here?"

He looked behind him and asked, "Did you make me a new lantern?"

Feng Jingheng spread out his hands to show him, "No, I didn't make a lantern because I can't do it well."

Ye Xunqing was a little disappointed, but only a little.

"Okay, if there are no new ones, we'll use the old ones." Ye Xunqing asked the children to go out first and he would be there soon.

He picked and chose among the old lanterns and selected one with a white background and green orchids. They had painted the orchids themselves.

Put a candle in the lantern and tie a bamboo pole to it, so that you can carry the lantern and parade around the village.

The people who parade the lanterns are all young people, mostly children, and there are also many people of Ye Xunqing's age.

It was at this time that the women and boys could let loose and have fun for a while. On other days, they would not dare to laugh out loud.

Ye Xunqing didn't care about that. He held a lantern and mixed in the crowd, observing whose lantern was the most beautiful.

"This is the lotus lantern my father made for me." A little boy of seven or eight years old was holding a very beautiful lotus lantern. "Don't you have any?"

He is the son of the bamboo craftsman, and the bamboo gourd was given by him.

Ye Xunqing took a fancy to the lotus lantern, but was too embarrassed to ask him for it directly, so he grabbed Feng Jingheng's arm and said, "Ah Heng, I want a lotus lantern too."

Feng Jingheng changed his usual behavior and said, "Then go grab one."

Ye Xunqing frowned and said, "Huh, don't you love me anymore?"

Feng Jingheng immediately expressed his opinion, "How is it possible? How could I not love you?"

Ye Xunqing was angry. He stuffed the lantern into Feng Jingheng's hand and said, "I don't want to play anymore. It's boring. Let's go home."

It's really too much. I knew today was his birthday, but I didn't give him any gifts.

What he wanted to receive most was a gift from Feng Jingheng.

Ye Xunqing is a very romantic person, otherwise he would not have made rings for himself and Feng Jingheng.

But Feng Jingheng was too much. Not only did he not take his birthday seriously, he also didn't give him any gifts. He vowed to ignore Feng Jingheng for a whole day.

Never mind. I can’t bear to do that. Just for one night.

After walking out of the crowd, Ye Xunqing suddenly felt sad. He was a stranger here, and the only people who were close to him were his younger brother and Feng Jingheng. His younger brother was too young, and Feng Jingheng valued him.

He was really sad.

Today is the Lantern Festival, a time for family reunion, and it is also his birthday. He cannot go home for the New Year, so why didn’t Feng Jingheng give him a gift on his birthday?

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to cry, so Ye Xunqing squatted on the ground and cried.

I don't have any tears, I just feel wronged.

Feng Jingheng picked him up and said with a smile, "Come with me to a place."

Ye Xunqing said in a bad temper: "No, you don't love me anymore, I won't go."

Feng Jingheng bit his lips lightly, "It's not that I don't love you, it's just..."

"Just what?" Ye Xunqing asked sadly.

"It's just that today is not your birthday..." Feng Jingheng sighed, "I was planning to bring you to see it tomorrow. Since you want to see it, then you can see it today."
