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

"Ah Qing, I'm sorry for you." As soon as he left, Feng Jingheng hugged Ye Xunqing tightly and said in a muffled voice, "I want to move out after we get married, but we don't have a house now..."

"Why are you moving out? Didn't Big Brother say you all contributed money to build the house?" Ye Xunqing patted him on the back and said comfortingly, "I don't feel wronged. As long as we can be together, that's enough. And if you really move out, I don't know what others will say about me behind my back, saying I'm a wicked daughter-in-law and that I'm trying to sow discord between you and your parents."

Feng Jingheng felt even more guilty. He swore, "From now on, I will only listen to you and not them."

Ye Xunqing couldn't help but laugh, "Silly Ah Heng, you judge for yourself. If they are right, we will listen to them. If they are wrong, then there is no need to listen to them."

Feng Jingheng nodded, "Well, I'll listen to you."

Ye Xunqing didn't want to correct Feng Jingheng. After all, he still liked Feng Jingheng very much, and there was nothing wrong with Feng Jingheng being on his side.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Ye Xunqing took Feng Jingheng's hand, "Let's go, Xiaoyan and Xiaobai are frying steamed buns at home, let's go back and eat."

Feng Jingheng smiled and said, "I love everything Ah Qing cooks."

It was getting dark, and Feng Jingheng and Ye Xunqing were walking hand in hand in the village, which caused a lot of discussion among the villagers who were enjoying the cool air at their doorsteps.

"How shameless! They haven't even gotten married yet, but they're still arguing with each other every day." said an old man with a wrinkled face.

"You're such a meddlesome person!" His husband splashed water outside. "They're a happy couple, what's your business? Heng knows how to love his wife, and Qing is a kind man. I'm optimistic about them."

The old man was unhappy. "Why are you talking like that? You can't just curry favor with that young man just because he gave you a pot of oil and some cakes, right?"

The old man glared at the old man, said nothing, and went in with the basin.

You old bastard, if you can't explain it clearly, just stop talking. It's a waste of time.

The old man sat at the door and shouted, "This is rebellion! This is rebellion!"

No matter how he shouted, his wife just ignored him. After shouting a few times, he felt bored and simply continued to sit at the door and fan herself.

The next morning, before Ye Xunqing got up, Liu Xiaojing came to wait for her. She was a little sleepy because she got up too early, so she fell asleep leaning against the door.

Ye Xunqing got up early and opened the door, and Liu Xiaojing lay down in it immediately.

"Second, second sister-in-law." Liu Xiaojing rubbed his head, "Good morning."

Ye Xunqing said: "You came too early, didn't you?"

Liu Xiaojing chuckled, "Because you said there was breakfast. Oh, by the way, I also picked some vegetables from the ground." She gathered up the beans, tender pumpkins and other things scattered on the ground.

Ye Xunqing wanted to laugh when he saw the tender pumpkin. "Why did you pick this pumpkin?"

Liu Xiaojing said, "I think you're right. If you work hard, you deserve to eat. I also tilled the land in the pumpkin garden, so I deserve to eat the young pumpkin."

Ye Xunqing raised an eyebrow. "Although that's not what I meant, since you want to eat it, let's have fried pumpkin this morning. I'm going to fry some meat patties. Meat patties with shredded pumpkin should be delicious."

Liu Xiaojing gave all the things to Ye Xunqing, and then said: "Second sister-in-law, I was not good before, I shouldn't have targeted you. You are a good person, and you are good at making money. I also want to make money like you."

Ye Xunqing looked back at her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to make money?"

Liu Xiaojing said, "I used to think I was a woman, that my only responsibility was to take care of the household, and that earning money to support the family was left to men. But when you suddenly dumped so much money in front of me yesterday, my mind suddenly became clear. Why can't I make money myself? I want to learn a skill from you, and then go out and earn money to support Xiaoan and Axu."

Ye Xunqing couldn't help but laugh, "Your idea is not bad, but when you come back with your money, you can't bully Xiao An and call him a loser. You two are a family."

"That's definitely not the case." Liu Xiaojing assured, "My favorite is Xiao An."

Ye Xunqing agreed with this point very much. If Liu Xiaojing didn't really love him, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant before marriage. Although it's not advisable to get pregnant before marriage, Ye Xunqing is still optimistic about their love.

Liu Xiaojing is not a diligent girl, nor is she very talented. To some extent, she is careless and clumsy.

"Second sister-in-law, is this how you knead the dough?" Liu Xiaojing rolled up his sleeves and kneaded the dough in the basin vigorously.

Ye Xunqing took a look and said, "When kneading dough, you don't hold it with both hands and let it stick to your hands. Instead, you should knead it in circles so that it gradually slips away from your hands. The dough is oiled, so it slips away easily. You can try it."

Liu Xiaojing kneaded the dough according to Ye Xunqing's method, and it turned out much better.

She is not smart, but she is hardworking. Whether she really wants to learn or wants to learn to make money, her attitude towards learning is unquestionable.

With Liu Xiaojing's help, Mo Yuyan was able to spare some time to copy books. Ye Xunqing also assigned Ye Xunbai a task, asking him to practice calligraphy with Mo Yuyan. Although Mo Yuyan couldn't speak, he could still write calligraphy.

Liu Xiaojing kneaded dough for the whole morning without complaining of being tired. Instead, he became more and more excited, wishing he could knead dough all day long.

Prepare various doughs in the morning and fry the fried dough sticks in the afternoon. There are many kinds of fried dough sticks, both sweet and salty. There are four or five flavors of fried dough sticks alone.

There are also fried Sanzi, fried noodles, fried sesame noodles... A large basket is filled with all kinds of fried Sanzi.

Ye Xunqing had already asked around and learned that fried dough sticks weren't a common dish here. In his opinion, fried dough sticks were a popular snack in northern China. Yutong Town was located in the south, where wheaten foods were not well developed, so fried dough sticks were almost non-existent.

Oil was also very expensive, so not many people would use it for frying. They usually bought a pot of oil and used it for a year. Ye Xunqing, on the other hand, used half a bucket of oil in a single day. He didn't waste the frying oil; he used some for cooking and gave some to neighbors, as he'd otherwise have more than he could eat.

"Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've seen fried dough." Liu Xiaojing tasted each one and said, "They're fragrant and crispy, some sweet and some salty, and they're delicious. If you sell them, I'm sure people will buy them."

"That's what I thought." Ye Xunqing said, "Ah Heng and I will carry them out to sell tomorrow morning."

Although Liu Xiaojing wanted to make money, she came here to learn a craft and understood the rules of learning a craft. It was good enough that the master did not take her money, and she should not think about sharing the master's money.

It was getting dark, and Ye Xunqing didn't keep Liu Xiaojing to eat. He wrapped a big bag of fried dough sticks in banana leaves and gave it to Liu Xiaojing to take back and let her take it home to try with her family.

Liu Xiaojing was satisfied with having something to eat and went back happily.

"Wait a moment." Ye Xunqing took out five copper coins from his pocket. "You've been busy all day. This is your wages. Since you're still an apprentice, I won't give you more. I'll give you five coins first."

Liu Xiaojing was stunned. "I, I still have money to get?"

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "You've been busy all day, how can I not pay you?"

Liu Xiaojing asked in confusion, "Don't you have to pay your master to learn a craft?"

"Really?" Ye Xunqing felt that their ideas and concepts were a little different. He had seen cake shops paying apprentices before.

"It doesn't matter, just take it." Ye Xunqing patted her shoulder, "Study hard, I believe in you."
