Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

【Although poor, but live an honest life】

Ye Fan didn't know how he got to Third Sister Ye's house.

He ran to the Jinjiang River in one breath, took a boat in a daze, and wandered to the south bank of the Jinjiang River.

He touched his heartbeat that had finally calmed down, and despised himself fiercely—it's not that he has never seen it before, and he didn't know how many times he slept, he was afraid that he would be a ball!

Sanjie Ye’s home is in Yushuzhuang. This village used to be the place where the army conquered the west. The imperial court’s garrison planted thousands of elm trees around the village, enclosing the official village. Until now, there are still many huddles outside the village. Thick big elm.

Most of the villagers in Yushuzhuang were former farm soldiers. After the Western Expedition Army canceled their titles, the soldiers stayed here to make a family and take root.

The boatman who punted the boat was acquainted with Guan Dalang, and directly sent Ye Fan to the river beach where the Guan family raised geese.

There, a platform more than ten feet long was built with bamboo as thick as the mouth of a bowl, half of which was on the bank and half in the water.A row of small houses were built with bamboo tubes and thatch on the platform, and there was a "quack" sound from inside.

Guan Dalang was driving a group of big geese into the water with a bamboo pole, turned his head and saw Ye Fan, and immediately smiled, "I told you that you won't come too early, but your elder sister didn't believe it, so she started washing before dawn. "

"Isn't this just to catch up with the meal, I have to ask my sister to make something good for me." Ye Fan wobbled on the bamboo raft and walked over carefully step by step.

Guan Dalang felt very comfortable listening to his jokes, he always felt that this kid was too condescending in the past, but now he is kind.

Ye Fan picked up a bamboo pole and chased the goose like him.

"Quack, quack!"

The leading goose thought he was unfamiliar, and was very unconvinced, so he stretched out his neck and pecked at him.

Ye Fan didn't care about the embarrassment, and went straight to hide behind Guan Dalang, "Brother-in-law, help! Help!"

Guan Dalang laughed out loud, as if deliberately teasing him, lifted his legs up the goose shed, and threw him to a group of big white geese with fierce eyes.

Seeing that Ye Fan was about to be overwhelmed by the geese, a small figure like a cannonball suddenly rushed over beside him, and his tender voice shouted crisply: "Don't be afraid, uncle! I'm coming!"

Guan Erxiao puffed his face, held up the bamboo pole, and charged aggressively onto the bamboo raft.Then, with a bang, it fell to the ground.

On the contrary, the two little fellows in the back, one pressing the bamboo pole, deftly pushed the geese away, and the other clasped his hand into a trumpet, yelling majestically: "Go, go..."

The geese were very face-saving, jumping into the water one by one like dumpling.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ye Fan excitedly embraced his two nephews, one big and one small.

The older one blushed and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.The younger one was ignorant, looking at him curiously with his round head raised.

Guan Erxiao got up from the ground, his chest was covered with wet stains, his mouth was flattened, and his face was mournful, as if he was about to cry or not.

Ye Fan pinched his face, and joked with a smile, "Second Xiao is really amazing, he scared the big goose away with just lying down like this."

Guan Er's eyes lit up, he looked at the ground and then at the geese in the water, and happily accepted Ye Fan's compliment.

Ye Fan suppressed a smile, and turned his eyes to Guan Dalang, "Tell me later, sister, you just wait and kneel on the washboard!"

Guan Dalang made a begging gesture, turned around and shouted to the back of the goose shed, "Old Five, go home and tell your sister-in-law that Xiao Lang is here, let her cook!"

"Go here!"

A rough male voice came from behind the shed. Immediately afterwards, a tall and strong man stepped into the water with a "smack" and landed on the shore without looking back.

Xu was afraid that Ye Fan would think he was rude, so Guan Dalang explained briefly: "This kid is so stubborn, he beat up his boss when he worked in a brick kiln, so he had to stay at home and raise geese with me."

Ye Fan smiled, "There are so many geese, brother-in-law can't see them alone, it's just right for Brother Wu to help."

Guan Dalang leaned on a bamboo pole and laughed when he heard this.

Even Guan Xiaozi turned his head, with a big smile on his face.

Ye Fan blinked, not knowing why.

Guan Xiaoer tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Fifth Uncle is 14 years old, younger than Uncle."

Ye Fan was shocked, so strong, only fourteen?The genes of this family are not too good!

Speaking of the two nephews beside him, Guan Xiao is only eight years old, they are as tall as him, and they are even stronger, holding a goose cage half a person's height in one hand, they don't need to rest their feet when they run.

Although Guan Sanxiao was only four years old, he was born with a tiger's head and a tiger's head. He was carved out of the same mold as Guan Dalang. Just now he saw his drive to chase geese. After a few years, he will be a tall and strong man.

Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Guan Erxiao, feeling a burst of shame—this kid whose appearance followed him, the reason why he can gain a foothold in the Guan family is all because of his cuteness, right?

When he saw the other three men from the Guan family, this idea became more determined.

Guan Erlang, Guan Sanlang, and Guan Silang were all working in the brick kiln. Yesterday, Uncle Yu sent someone a letter saying that Ye Fan was coming, so they asked for leave and came back early to accompany the guests.

When Ye Fan entered, they had just arrived home, all of them had ashen faces, and their clothes were patched and patched, especially on the shoulders, perhaps because they often carried bricks on their backs, they simply sewed a piece of leather.

There are only three hole cave dwellings in the house, which are very dilapidated, with small windows, holes in the walls, wooden wedges nailed, hemp ropes hanging, and dried vegetables to dry.There is not even a decent yard, only a small circle surrounded by wooden fences, and the neighbors are next to each other on the left and right.

Ye Fan felt very uncomfortable.

Guan Dalang doesn't seem to be incompetent, and all the men of the Guan family can endure hardships. The reason why they can't turn over is because Generli is too poor, and there are too few opportunities for the poor in this era.

Even so, none of the Guan family members complained about themselves. Instead, they were all open-minded and forthright. They spoke loudly, with a strong nasal voice, laughed loudly when they were happy, and stared and roared when they were angry. .

The same goes for the neighbors.

This place was originally the place where soldiers were stationed. A whole row of cave dwellings was dug along the cliff, with one or two holes for each house. Those like Guan Dalang were allocated three holes because he was once the head of a hundred households and was very popular.

Everyone heard that the Guan family had guests, so they all came out to meet each other.

Yuanchen had never been to Guan's house before, and this was the first time the neighbors saw Guan Dalang's brother-in-law.

"Yo, this skinny and tender meat looks like a scholar."

"But, it's no wonder that your second child is so good-looking, so she followed my uncle."

"Just like this, Guan Bao told the matchmaker to step over the threshold!"

"..."

"Don't flatter him like that, you won't be able to find him later!" Third Sister Ye replied with a smile while mingling by the stove.

Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, seeing that the Guan family was about to eat, they left in a sensible way.

Third Sister Ye put a lot of effort into cooking a sumptuous lunch with simple materials.

The fresh river fish was stewed in a big iron pot - this pot was the dowry given by Ye Lao when the third sister got married - wild vegetable soup and wild pork that Ye Fan brought were cooked in the pot.

The fat and thin meat was salted and could have been stored for a long time, but Third Sister Ye didn't have any left, and used it to entertain Ye Fan.

On the side of the pot are "elm money cakes". At the beginning of March in the lunar calendar, it is time to eat elm money in the north. Sanjie Ye grabbed a basket directly from the big elm tree in front of the cave, and pasted it with millet noodles into palm-sized cakes. Burnt pancakes.

The remaining elm money was fried with goose eggs. Finally, Third Sister Ye was willing to add some oil. The golden goose eggs were mixed with green onion elm money.

In Ye Fan's bowl, besides fish and meat, there is also a large piece of oily goose egg.

The three children also ate meat.

Guan Dalang picked up two yuan for Third Sister Ye, and Third Sister Ye kept stepping on his foot, but Guan Dalang continued to pick it up as if he couldn't feel it.

On the other hand, other people only served vegetable soup and slurped pancakes, but didn't touch fish or meat at all.Judging by their appearance, they seem to be eating very well.

Guan Erlang said with a smile: "Thanks to Xiao Lang today, let's have a meal of meat even if it's not a festival."

Guan Sanlang also grinned, and said in a rough voice: "It may not be possible to eat during the Chinese New Year."

The brothers obviously didn't think this was a shameful thing, and they all laughed.

Looking at their red and black faces from the smoke from the brick kiln, Ye Fan couldn't help but think of something.

At the beginning, when Papa Ye was still there, he asked the Guan family brothers to work in the winery several times to help them.Guan Dalang refused, saying only that the Ye family had more than one daughter, so he couldn't make such a start.

Thinking of the past, Ye Fan had a better impression of the Guan family.At the same time, I really want to help them.

Therefore, Ye Fan strengthened his belief that he must become stronger quickly. Only when he becomes strong enough can he be able to protect the people he cares about under his wings.

***

After dinner, Guan Dalang took all the brothers and boys in the family to the river, and asked Ye Fan and his brother to talk about themselves.

Ye Fan took out the silver ingot from his pocket and put it in front of Third Sister Ye.

"I thought it would be available at the end of last month, but I didn't expect it, or I was talking big."

Fortunately, tomorrow is only the sixth day of March, which happens to not delay Guan Erlang's appointment.Ye Fan came here today just to pay back the money.

Third Sister Ye saw two white silver ingots, and hurriedly stuffed them back for him, "Where are there so many? There is no need for silver."

"It just happened to be given to Brother Guan, and it would look good as a dowry." Ye Fan flipped under the silver ingot and said with a smile, "Look, there is still a mark here."

Third Sister Ye took a closer look, "Ah, isn't this the official money of the Anzhou Jiedu Envoy? Fanzi, where did this money come from?"

"The customer who bought the wine gave it, can't you use it?"

"Yes, in our Anzhou border, the official silver of the Anzhou Jiedushi is more valuable than others." Third Sister Ye was still a little flustered, "Who is so generous?"

Ye Fan pointed to the silver ingot, "Wearing such a waist badge, he might be from Anzhou Jiedushi."

Third Sister Ye felt relieved, "Our father delivered food to the Anzhou Army back then, and received money from His Royal Highness King An. Our father said that this King An is sympathetic to the people."

Ye Fan also knows somewhat that the current Anzhou Jiedushi, also known as King An, is actually a separatist force in Anzhou, equivalent to a prince.

Today, the territory of Jin State is not peaceful. The reason why they have the opportunity to recuperate here is inseparable from the governance of King An.

It turned out that it was Wang An's people who bought the wine, no wonder such a long-term follower is so magnanimous.

Most importantly, he likes to spend a lot of money!
