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

Chapter 5

[Prodigal son, this blame is on his back]

The sun was setting and it was getting late.

Before Yu's father and son returned to the village, news from the county reached Hanjialing.

The old and the young were carrying their rice bowls and squatting on the dirt slope, drinking the thin soup while listening to the commotion.

"It's spread all over the county. The old man Yu took a box of fake goods to the pawnshop, and almost got caught by the yamen!"

"Really? How did I hear that Ye Xiaolang lost half of his entire family just to buy those bottles and cans?"

"It's fake, it's all fake!" The messenger grinned and grinned, with a gloating expression on his face.

"Grandson, you didn't make it up to coax the men to play?"

The man twisted his neck and shouted loudly: "I want to coax someone, he is the real grandson! The court servant of the pawnshop said it himself, can there be a lie?"

When everyone saw that he had even sworn an oath, they finally believed it.There are jokes and regrets.

"Tsk tsk, the half of the family property saved by Ye Gong is enough for us to eat for several years."

"It's not just a few years? It's been decades!"

"..."

This matter seemed to have grown wings, and it spread all over the world overnight, and Ye Fan's reputation as a prodigal was really established.

Let's say that night, when Yu's father and son came back, it was completely dark.

The three of them sat at the table in disgrace, holding rice bowls, their eyes staring blankly, and they didn't take a bite of the food.

Compared to their distraught, Ye Fan is still calm.

It has to be said that he was mentally prepared for the fact that Yuan was deceived, but he didn't expect that none of the boxes were real.

Yu Erlang put his rice bowl heavily on the table and said angrily, "I'll go find that Lin!"

The "surnamed Lin" in his mouth is Ye Fan's cousin - Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng was the only son of Yuanben's aunt. When he was six years old, the Lin family suffered a catastrophe and both parents passed away. Father Ye took him by his side to raise him.

He stayed with Ye's parents until he was 16 years old, and his father Ye paid for him to buy property and married a wife, and then he moved back to Daning County.

He was four years older than the original body, and the two grew up together.Lin Sheng used to coax him a lot when he was a child, but Yuanshen believed in him so deeply that he would foolishly jump into the pit every time.

This box of antiques was bought by Lin Sheng. If he said that he didn't benefit from it, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Ye Fan.

Not only him, after today's experience, the members of the Yu family also quickly thought clearly.

"It's such a big box, but none of it is real?" Dalang's daughter-in-law lowered her head, her voice was low, as if she was talking to herself.

Yu Dalang shook his head in disappointment, and said in a muffled voice, "I've been to all the pawnshops in the county, and the court servants all say that the real ones are light in quality, but these objects weigh more than one another. They can't be antiques, and the patterns don't match. .”

"Some are not bronze at all, but brass!" Yu Erlang added with a smirk.

"Why don't you try going to the state capital tomorrow? I'm afraid it's because the court officials in the county are not capable enough to see it..." Yu Sanniang also had the courage to whisper.

The men didn't say a word, they just picked up the soup bowls and drank sullenly.

They knew in their hearts that it wasn't that the court servant was incompetent, but that his young man had been fooled, and he had been fooled.

Aunt Yu was afraid that Ye Fan would be unhappy, so she pulled herself together and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we still have hairpins. We will pawn them tomorrow and exchange them for money."

Yu Sanniang also nodded quickly, and said in harmony: "Yes, there is also a hairpin. Aunt Lan said that it is the best snowflake silver, and it is expensive!"

Seeing the earnest expressions on their faces, Ye Fan felt a warm current in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Since it's Sanniang's dowry, it's easy to keep it. Don't worry about the wages. I'll figure it out."

Yu Erlang squinted his eyes and said with a poisonous tongue: "You can pull it down, what else can you do?"

Ye Fan glanced at him, and said lightly: "Could it be that you have?"

Yu Erlang choked, bit the hard millet noodles resentfully, and stopped moaning with his head sullen.

Little Hammer blinked his bright eyes and looked at Ye Fan adoringly.

In his little heart, he originally thought that his second uncle was the smartest, but he didn't expect that the silly little man was even smarter than his second uncle!

Ye Fan couldn't have children by himself, so he liked other people's families very much, especially such small and obedient ones.

He couldn't control his hand and squeezed the little guy's face viciously.

Little Hammer suddenly opened his mouth wide, his eyes wide open, against his bulging forehead, his small nose, like a cute little doll.

The more Ye Fan looked at it, the more he liked it. He patiently picked out the fishbone and brought it to the little guy's mouth.

Little Hammer swallowed his saliva, and quietly looked at his own A Weng.

There are indeed fish in the river, but not everyone has the time to catch them, nor can they catch them every time.This time, Yu Dalang was lucky and got two of them in one go.One is for Ye Fan's lunch, and the other one is for him. Even the little hammer knows it and can't touch it.

You know what you know, but you will still be greedy.

After all, Uncle Yu felt sorry for his grandson, and finally nodded his head under Ye Fan's hint.

Little Hammer's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened his small mouth, eagerly swallowing the fish.

Tender!Savory!Delicious!

The little guy squinted his eyes with happiness on his face.

Ye Fan couldn't help laughing, it really should be a live broadcast, so that those picky eaters in modern times can see how happy their lives are.

As soon as this idea came up, a cheerful voice sounded in my mind: "I've already recorded it!"

With a sound of "Puchi", Ye Fan burst out laughing.

The Yu family looked at him in surprise, thinking in unison, Xiao Lang has really changed...

***

Ye Fan said he would think of a way, not just talk.In fact, he already had an idea.

It's just that this time it's about the third sister of the original body, so he really can't make decisions on his own.He thought about asking Yu Dalang to bring the third sister over and have a good discussion.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for his invitation, Third Sister Ye came here on her own initiative.

Before dawn, the copper bell on the door rang.

Aunt Yu put on her clothes and went to open the door. When she saw someone coming, she couldn't help being surprised, "Third lady, why are you back?"

"It's such a big deal, can I not come back?" Third Sister Ye hurried down the steps.

She was married to Yushuzhuang, which was just across the river, so she couldn't hide the "antique" matter from her.

Aunt Yu glanced behind her, "Young master isn't here?"

"I went to feed the geese, and I brought Erxiao back with me."

Third Sister Ye stood still in the courtyard, and handed the basket with her arms out of her arms to Aunt Yu, "Just marinated, pick up a few big ones, boil them, cut them up, and add something to Xiao Lang."

Aunt Yu smiled, "A few days ago, Xiao Lang was still talking about it, and wanted to eat third sister's pickled goose eggs."

Third Sister Ye glanced at the north room, "Aren't you up yet?"

"I discussed things last night and went to bed late."

Third Sister Ye sighed, "Are you crying?"

Aunt Yu really didn't know what to say.Since waking up yesterday, Ye Fan has acted as if he has suddenly changed into a different person, grown up and sensible.

Could it be that this is the "enlightenment" that the mistress said before she died?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Third Sister Ye suddenly became anxious, "Could it be that there was another commotion, did you drop something? Did you hurt yourself?"

"No, miss, don't think too much, Xiao Lang is fine!"

Aunt Yu led her to the Westinghouse, and told all about what happened yesterday, especially highlighting Ye Fan's optimism and calmness.

Third Sister Ye became more and more surprised the more she heard it, she couldn't even believe it, "Auntie, what you said is true, didn't you coax me?"

Aunt Yu patted her hand, and a deep smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, "Whether I coaxed you or not, you will know by looking at it for yourself later."

Third Sister Ye also laughed, and her eyes turned red as she smiled.

If it is really like what Aunt Yu said, my younger brother has "opened up" and his father has been building bridges and paving roads and helping the poor all these years.

Ye Fan woke up to the smell of breakfast.

As soon as he went out, he met a smiling face.

The third sister Ye has an oval face with eyebrows, almond eyes, and from Ye Fan's point of view, she is the prettiest of the three sisters.At the same time, she is also the only "low marriage" among the daughters of the Ye family.

Back then, the Ye family opened the No. [-] Scholar Winery, and the business was booming. Ye's mother was the daughter of the county magistrate, and the people who came to propose marriage almost leveled the threshold of the Ye family.

Eldest sister Ye married a wealthy family in the county, and her husband's family runs the largest restaurant in the county; second sister Ye married a scholar, who is said to be very talented and has a bright future.

Only Ye Sanjie, in her [-]th year, married a military household who was eight years older than her.

The reason why Old Man Ye agreed to this marriage was actually to repay his kindness.Back then on the battlefield, if Mr. Guan hadn't saved his life, there wouldn't be any Ye family siblings.

Ye Fan hadn't washed up yet, so he bumped into Ye Sanjie face to face with a chicken nest head on his head.

Third Sister Ye tugged at his ears as she did when she was a child, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "I'm already sixteen, and I still look like a little baby."

Ye Fan scratched his head uncomfortably, and said, "It's already sixteen, don't you want to get your ears pulled?"

The two siblings looked at each other and smiled.

After all, blood is thicker than water, the strangeness or embarrassment that Ye Fan expected did not appear, but an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

***

After breakfast, Ye Fan started talking about business.

After hearing this, Third Sister Ye expressed her opinion without hesitation, "You don't need to discuss this matter with me, as long as you decide."

Ye Fan had expected that she would not object, but he still had to say what should be said.

"Except for my tank of wine under the old locust tree, the rest belong to the three nephews. If you don't discuss it with you, who will you discuss it with?"

"Do you really not understand what I mean, or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Third Sister Ye poked him on the forehead and said flatly, "Our father is gone, and you are the head of the family. You have the final say on the affairs of the family. You don't have to." Don't worry about anyone, you know?"

Ye Fan blinked, and joked lightly, "Since this is the case, then I really drink up. It's not my fault that my nephew will be admitted to the first prize tomorrow, and he runs out of alcohol."

Third Sister Ye pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't even look at what kind of youngsters his Laoguan family is. Taking the first prize? It's harder than going to heaven!"

As soon as the words fell, a rough male voice came from outside the courtyard, "Who is speaking ill of my Laoguan family? Stand up and see if I don't hit you!"

"It's Aunt!" Guan Erxiao grabbed the corner of his father's clothes and joined in the fun crisply.

When Third Sister Ye saw her husband and son, she straightened up immediately, "I said, you can give it a try?"

Guan Dalang's face was full of smiles, "So it's Mrs. Guan, I don't dare to hit you."

Third Sister Ye couldn't hold back, she covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.

Ye Fan was forced to eat a pot of dog food, and he couldn't help but think of Li Yao, feeling sore in his heart.

Go up the mountain the day after tomorrow!

Collect Mushroom Legs!

Change the space-time shuttle!

Ye Fan clenched his fist, and there was a sudden soft touch on the back of his hand.

He froze for a moment, and when he glanced around, he saw a very familiar little face.

Third Sister Ye gave birth to three sons one after another, and the phrase "nephew Uncle Xiao" only applies to the second son.

Guan Erxiao is just six years old this year, with a delicate and delicate face, exactly the same as the original body when he was a child, even Ye Fan felt very kind when he looked at it.

Xu Shi thought it was fun, Yuanshen was quite concerned about this little nephew, and wanted to see him from time to time.

This time, Third Sister Ye specially asked Guan Dalang to bring Erxiao here just to make him happy.

Unexpectedly, the little guy stood beside him for a long time, but Ye Fan didn't pay attention.Guan Erxiao couldn't help it, so he took the initiative to poke his hand.

Ye Fan lifted his little nephew onto his lap, and stretched out his hand to scratch his creaky dimple.

"Haha... Itches..."

"Uncle, please forgive me...haha..."

Guan Erxiao twisted her thin body, hugged Ye Fan's neck and acted like a baby.

Ye Fan's heart softened, it's so good, he has a good relationship with children after time travel.

It wasn't until the nephew and uncle got tired of playing that Guan Dalang paid out the second brother, and took a heavy wicker basket from behind.

Third Sister Ye took a look and wondered, "I wanted to ask just now, didn't you bring a basket of goose eggs?"

"It's not a goose egg, it's more solid than a goose egg." Guan Dalang lifted the sackcloth to reveal the contents inside.

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "It's true."

Third Sister Ye was not as calm as he was, her voice couldn't help raising her voice an octave, "Why...why didn't you tell me?"

Guan Dalang scowled, deliberately teasing her, "You don't like it? Then I'll take it back."

"Don't!" Miss Ye San didn't care about Ye Fan's presence, and immediately pressed Guan Dalang's hand, her face blushing slightly, "I'm thinking about Erlang...have you discussed it with him?"

Guan Dalang pushed the basket towards Ye Fan, and said boldly: "I can still decide on such a small matter."

"This is not a trivial matter!" Third Sister Ye gave him a dissatisfied look, but her eyes were full of affection.

Ye Fan was stuffed with a bowl of dog food again, and inserted between the two maliciously, asking straightforwardly, "What's going on here?"

Third Sister Ye paused, and explained in a few words.

It turned out that the money was originally intended to be used by Guan Jiaerlang to marry a wife.

Third Sister Ye didn't sleep last night, and she thought about the money for a moment. However, thinking of the situation of the Guan brothers, she didn't have the nerve to say that.Unexpectedly, Guan Dalang took the initiative to send it over.

Third Sister Ye turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.moved.

How can Guan Dalang bear his wife crying?The thick hand patted her on the back carefully, coaxing her nicely.

Ye Fan searched his memory for a while, and then he remembered that Guan Dalang had a bunch of younger brothers, except him, the rest were bachelors.

In the final analysis, it is poverty.

Looking at the basket full of new or old copper coins, it is not difficult to imagine how the family raised geese and sold goose eggs from dawn to dusk, and how they saved them one by one.

Ye Fan didn't refuse with no sternness, nor did he accept it selfishly, but asked calmly: "Brother Erlang has fallen in love with him? When will he be hired?"

"It's the sixth day of March." Third Sister Ye said nonchalantly, feeling sorry for my uncle.

Guan Dalang waved his hand, "I'll tell the matchmaker later that I can make it a few days later."

Ye Fan smiled slightly and said, "No need."

He stood up, arched his hands, and made a deep bow to Guan Dalang.

Guan Dalang was stunned for a moment, and hurried to help, "What is this for?"

You know, the original body is the little sun of the Ye family, and everyone is used to surrounding him.It is the first time that Ye Xiaolang has "condescended to honor" in this way.

Guan Dalang was a little uncomfortable.

Third Sister Ye withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice, "Just accept it, you should."

Ye Fan straightened up and said seriously: "Thank you brother-in-law for your help this time. If things go well, I will return the money in full before the end of the month."

When he said this, his eyes were full of determination, and his whole body exuded convincing strength.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and relief in each other's eyes.

After lunch, the family of three left the Ye family's cave together.

Third Sister Ye raised her face, looked at the sun in the sky, and let out a long breath.

"God has eyes, my Ye family is hopeful."

Guan Dalang nodded in agreement, "Yuezhang has done good deeds for most of his life, so there should be good rewards."

Third Sister Ye turned her head, met her husband's rough face, and said without beginning and end, "Fortunately, Erxiao is not like you."

Guan Dalang chuckled, "I also think it's better to be like my brother-in-law, white and clean, like a scholar."

Third Sister Ye smiled, holding a basket in one hand and holding her son in the other, chatting with her husband about homework as they walked.

"Hatch a few more goslings in the coming year. If they can be sold for money, I will send the big and small goslings to the school."

"I listen to you."
