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

Yang Qin waited until Ye Laosi and the others had left before bringing the things in. "Auntie can't stay here for too long. You have to stay well, okay? Nothing is more important than being alive. Your father is gone, and you still have to think about Xiaobai. What will happen to Xiaobai if something happens to you?"

Ye Xunqing nodded and said, "I understand, aunt."

Yang Qin had to go back and take out everything in the basket, which contained two yellow steamed buns, a small plate of meat, and a bag of malt sugar.

"Sugar!" Ye Xunbai recognized the packaging of malt sugar at a glance.

Yang Qin smiled and said, "Eat, my aunt is leaving first."

Ye Xunqing was not stupid enough to think that his aunt was rich. These things were probably taken secretly by his aunt.

"Aunt, do you want your uncle to give you his consent to bring these things over?" Ye Xunqing asked tentatively.

Yang Qin's face turned pale, her eyes dodged a few times, and she said, "Your uncle-in-law must have agreed, otherwise how would I dare to take it?"

"Then I feel relieved." Ye Xunqing pretended not to see her expression.

"I'm leaving first. Take care of yourself." After saying that, Yang Qin hurried away with the basket.

Country people only eat two meals a day, one before noon and the other in the evening.

Before the first meal, the farmers had to go to work and could not come back to eat until noon when it was hot, so Ye Xunqing and Ye Xunbai were both hungry.

Ye Xunqing gave Ye Xunbai a steamed bun and gave him most of the meat, saying, "Let's eat quickly so we can get back to work."

Ye Xunqing hid the bag of malt candy in the cabinet. In order to prevent it from melting, he found a cool corner.

Ye Xunbai took two candies and ate them. He didn't dare eat the rest and wanted to save them for a few more days.

Ye Xunqing was thinking about using the candies to make something new to eat, but he didn't know the prices here, so he had to find out. He probably couldn't ask Xiaobai; he couldn't even count money properly. Ye Laosi and Chen Jinhua were even more out of the question; they would just argue with him.

So……

Ye Xunqing suddenly thought of a suitable person, and that person was handsome. Talking to him made Ye Xunqing feel more comfortable.

Feng Jingheng and his elder brother Feng Jinghua were harrowing the paddy fields. People who had the means used oxen to harrow the fields, but they didn't, so they used people.

Ye Xunqing found Feng Jingheng pulling a rake and was immediately shocked by him, "Amazing!"

Feng Jingheng stopped to rest, but saw the Ye Xunqing brothers standing beside the field looking at him. He was stunned for a while before throwing away the rope, washing his hands and going to meet them.

"That's amazing!" Ye Xunqing said cheerfully, "This is the first time I've seen someone pull a rake!"

Feng Jingheng was a little surprised, "Wasn't it always like this before?"

Ye Xunqing patted Ye Xunbai on the back, meaning for him to speak.

Ye Xunbai chewed some candy and mumbled, "My brother went to see the gods in heaven. The gods said that my brother could come back, but he couldn't remember us."

Feng Jingheng looked at the smiling young man and knew that what Ye Xunbai said was true, because Ye Xunqing was a very introverted person and would never smile like that.

"I'm glad you're back." Feng Jingheng really thought he had gone to heaven to see the gods.

"Well, I forgot some things, so I want to ask you." Ye Xunqing took out three candies from his pocket, "Don't worry, I won't ask you in vain, this is for you." As he said, he stuffed one of the candies into Feng Jingheng's mouth.

Feng Jingheng was stunned, "You..."

"I tried it, it's delicious." Ye Xunqing said.

"Where did the malt sugar come from?" Feng Jingheng licked the candy, and the sweetness spread directly from his mouth to his heart.

"My aunt gave it to me." Ye Xunqing said.

Feng Jingheng frowned. "It seems you really forgot. Your aunt is having a hard time too. If she steals something for you this time, she'll be beaten by your uncle again when she gets home."

Ye Xunqing was stunned. "Will my uncle beat her?"

"After your grandfather passed away, the Yang family lost its pillar. Your father married Ye Laosi. A few years ago, your father passed away, and your aunt married a butcher in the village for your grandmother and you two brothers." Feng Jingheng said, "Because the butcher promised to provide for her mother in her old age."

Ye Xunqing felt that the candy he had just eaten was not sweet anymore, "I can't remember..." No wonder his aunt was able to bring meat.

"Eat it, it's already here." Feng Jingheng sighed.

Ye Xunqing didn't feel guilty all the time. He asked, "Do you know what the prices are like in town?"

When Feng Jingheng was not busy, he would go to the town to do odd jobs. He knew the prices very well, so he talked to Ye Xunqing about it. Ye Xunqing knew the price and gave the remaining two candies to Feng Jingheng.

"Thank you. I'm going to work now." Ye Xunqing said, "When I have money, I'll treat you to a meal."

Feng Jingheng didn't reply.

Ye Xunqing picked up his brother and said, "Let's go, Xiaobai, we are going to plant rice."

After they left, Feng Jinghua came over and lectured Feng Jingheng, "Second Brother, how many times have I told you not to mess with Ye Laosi's family? They're all hooligans."

"He is not." Feng Jingheng said stubbornly.

"He's not, but he also accepted the betrothal gift. Unless you can come up with eight taels of silver." Feng Jinghua sighed: "What he loves is the silver, not you!"

Feng Jingheng was still very sad, "Brother, I want to borrow money."

Feng Jinghua was so angry that he said, "Borrow money, borrow money, it's easy to say, but can you borrow it? I haven't paid back the twelve taels of silver yet."

Feng Jingheng said, "That's what the third brother spent on marrying his wife..."

"Go tell my parents, don't tell me that 20% of the money I spent is mine." Feng Jinghua complained, "That's what I saved to get married."

After planting the seedlings, Ye Xunqing went to pick peaches. This time he picked more because he had sugar. The sugar Yang Qin gave him was maltose, which was yellowish in color.

Ye Xunqing found a clean clay pot, went to the mountain to find spring water to wash it, and then put the peeled peaches into the clay pot to cook. In fact, steaming them would be better, but he didn't have the conditions to steam them at the moment.

"Brother, why do we have to cook peaches secretly?" Ye Xunbai asked.

Ye Xunqing replied, "Because if we cook it at home, they'll find out we have sugar."

Sugar was too precious, so Ye Xunqing didn't want to use it, so he only put in three pieces. Fortunately, the peaches were sweet, which made up for some of the sweetness.

After cooking, Ye Xunqing only poured out a small bowl and sealed the rest. After it cooled down completely, he found a cool water hole and put the jar in it.

"Delicious." Ye Xunbai likes boiled peaches very much. They are sweet, soft and a little sour.

"If you like it, eat more." Ye Xunqing only tasted a bite, and after making sure it was edible, he gave it all to his brother.

He also picks soft peaches to make peach jam.

Yejia Village eats noodles because Ye Xunqing saw late-ripening wheat. Ye Laosi's family has no flour, probably hidden by Chen Jinhua.

If you have wheat, you can make steamed buns. But what if you pair steamed buns with peach jam? Men may not like it, but women, children, and brothers and sisters may not like it.
