Confession

　　Suddenly being hugged by someone and noticing the tenseness of the person hugging him, Tang Chunming, slowly realized something was wrong.

　　He just came out from the magical space!

　　He appeared out of nowhere right under Li Feng’s nose!

　　He wasn’t aware of other people around him, but his judgment of Li Feng’s emotions was always accurate. In this dark room, he saw the worry, fear, and even deep panic in Li Feng’s dark eyes.

      He no longer had any worries in his heart, he had planned to confess because he had already decided to spend the rest of his life with this man.

　　It’s rare to find such a good man, not even with a lantern, he is so lucky to meet him.

　　”Don’t panic, I’ll tell you everything, isn’t this what you’ve always wanted to know? Hold Alin in your arms, I’ll take you to a place where you’ll know everything.” Tang Chunming grabbed Li Feng’s hand and would not let go.

　　Li Feng’s eyes could adapt to the darkness better than Tang Chunming’s, he looked at the person in his arms over and over again, and the panic in his eyes gradually faded away.

     No one knew how he felt when he came over and saw that there was no one on the kang. At that moment, he seemed to be back to being thrown into a strange place where no one knew by his uncle’s family. He felt panicky and desperate with no one to turn to for help.

     Before Ming Ge’er showed up with the child, he had searched around every corner of the house, including the two yards. This was because the dogs, horses, and geese in the house regarded him as their master and did not wake up in the middle of the night, otherwise, they would have alarmed others.

　　Li Feng looked at him before uttering one word: “Okay.”

　　In the past, he could be convinced that Ming ge’er had a secret and he didn’t care, he could help Ming ge’er keep the secret until the day when he opened his heart and was willing to confess to him. But what happened just now made him unable to stick to his original idea, because this secret was beyond what he could handle. 

     His willingness to keep the secret for Ming ge’er did not mean that this person could disappear in front of him, leaving him unaware of where to find him.

　　This time Tang Chunming brought A-Lin with him because he was afraid that the situation just now would happen again. Although A-Lin knew the existence of this space, there was no guarantee that he would cry if he woke up in the middle of the night and his mother was missing.

　　Normally, Li Feng would come at a specific time except when Asen cried, such as when he needed to be fed goat milk at night. That was why Tang Chunming entered the space early and was busied around for a while before bringing Asen in. Who would have thought that Li Feng would come over suddenly?

　　But at the same time, Tang Chunming also felt relieved, he had actually been waiting for the best opportunity to confess to this person, and now was the best time.

　　Li Feng wrapped A Lin in a blanket with one hand and held Tang Chunming’s hand with the other, fearing that he would disappear again. Tang Chunming smiled to calm the man’s nervous nerves and brought him into the space in the blink of an eye.

     The space can bring people in, in his previous life, he didn’t know that he had such ability, and he didn’t have the opportunity to try to verify it, but he brought A Lin in and out many times in this life, so he was very confident that Li Feng could come in as well.

　　So Li Feng began an adventure that overturned all his cognition.

　　He suddenly entered a bright world from a dim place, if he had not held Ming’er’s hand tightly in one hand and Alin in the other, he would have almost suspected that he was dreaming and everything he saw was illusory.

　　”Come with me first, let’s put the children into the house and let them continue to sleep.” he dragged Li Feng’s hand and walked towards the wooden house. He wasn’t hurrying to explain things to him. 

   Since they were already inside, they had plenty of time to talk slowly, to give this man time to digest it. Not everyone could accept the phenomenal things in front of them so quickly.

　　Li Feng looked blankly at Ming Ge’er who was leading him forward, making sure he wouldn’t disappear again. He turned around to look at the situation around him and then thought about the abnormalities he had noticed in Ming Ge’er before. It seemed that he could find the answers here the panic in his heart finally settled.

 He seemed to be able to accept the uncertainties faster than Tang Chunming thought.

　　There is black soil under his feet, which must be very fertile, so everything growing on the soil is lush and grows against the seasons.

　　On the left were rows of land, some crooked and some simply messy, which was the result of the owner’s laziness in not taking good care of it, which was very similar to Ming Ge’er’s personality. Different vegetables were growing together, and there were a few that he didn’t recognize.

        He wasn’t worried, since Ming Ge’er brought him in, he would definitely tell him the answer.

　　On the right side, there were rows of fruit trees and a pond, fish were jumping out of the water in the pond. The sound of water they made seemed to be the only sound besides him and Ming Ge’er. 

      This reminded him of the small fish and shrimps that Ming Ge’er had asked him to catch, he had wondered where they went, but he either ignored them on purpose or had made up an excuse for Ming Ge’er, such as feeding them to chickens and geese. But now the pond in front of him told him that the small fish and shrimps were not eaten by the chickens and geese, but were brought here to be raised.

　　Because he guessed the answer, the corners of Li Feng’s mouth curled up slightly, and he looked up at the fruit trees. Not counting the fruit trees that were still in the sapling stage, the fruit trees that were in bloom and bearing fruit made Li Feng extremely surprised.

        Like the vegetables on the left, the branches over there were still heavy fruits hanging on the branches, while the flower buds had just bloomed on the branches on this side, this situation occurred in different seasons on the same fruit tree.

　　Is this where the legendary gods live? A thought flashed through Li Feng’s mind, otherwise he could not find any other suitable answer.

　　When they arrived at the wooden house, Tang Chunming put the child on the table again. It had only been less than a few minutes since then, he felt a little amused and signaled Li Feng to put A Lin on the table so they could go out and talk.

　　Li Feng was more careful than Tang Chunming, he put the two children in the middle and covered the corners of the quilt to prevent them from accidentally rolling to the ground. Then he held Tang Chunming’s hand and went out of the house.

　　After closing the door, the two of them sat on the threshold. Tang Chunming wanted to explain, but he was at a loss for words and didn’t know where to start. He scratched his head, it was really troublesome.

　　”Is this a dreamland? How can you come and go freely here?” It was Li Feng who spoke first to free Tang Chunming.

　　”Huh? You know this too?” Tang Chunming’s eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Li Feng with admiration. If he had not read some similar novels on the modern Internet, he would not have been able to accept such an existence so quickly.

　　”Guessed.” Li Feng pursed his lips and smiled.

     People who don’t laugh often often give people a stunning feeling when they laugh. Others don’t know what’s going on, but Tang Chunming was stunned. His heart was pounding, and he looked away uncomfortably, otherwise, he would have really knocked the person to the ground right there, and he wouldn’t have been able to continue with the explanation.

　　”That…” Tang Chunming continued to scratch his head and found that if he wanted to explain it clearly, he had to start with his previous life. Since the space was known to everyone, there was no need to hide the matter of body and soul exchange. Moreover, he had been the owner of this body since the day Li Feng came back.

    The person Li Feng knew from beginning to end was himself, not his predecessor. With a little trepidation, Tang Chunming took a deep breath and quickly recounted the story of his death and resurrection.

　　”…You said that you are not the original Ming Ge’er, but someone from another world?” It took Li Feng a long time to digest what Tang Chunming said. He blinked and asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes never leaving the person in front of him, for fear that what he saw was just a shadow.

　　After that, Tang Chunming felt relieved, he shrugged and met Li Feng’s eyes calmly and said, “Yes, that’s right, when I woke up from this body, the original Ming Ge’er should have passed away. Doctor Hu should know all this best. But when I woke up, Doctor Hu probably thought I was resurrected from the dead, so he took good care of me later. Because Ming Ge’er’s health was not good before, Doctor Hu must have sympathized with his experience.”

　　”When did you wake up?”

　　Li Feng squeezed Tang Chunming’s hand so tightly that it hurt him a little, but he still had to explain clearly. He pointed at himself with his other empty hand and declared: “I woke up when you came back, you have known me since the first day. If you dare not take responsibility for me, be careful that I will take your money and run away, leaving you penniless!”

　　Before he could successfully threaten, he was hugged into someone’s arms. Tang Chunming could hear the heavy heartbeat of the other person. The world seemed to be empty all of a sudden, leaving only him and the person hugging him. Tang Chunming’s heart beat faster, but deep down he felt at peace because of this hug.

　　He pretended to be threatening with a grin, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart. He wanted to spend his whole life with this person, so he wanted him to know what kind of person he would spend his whole life with. Although he inherited everything from Ming Ge’er, he was not the real Ming Ge’er. He was not a thoughtful person, but sometimes he was very stubborn.

　　In his previous life, he was in the vast sea of ​​people, and perhaps what he was looking for was pure love, but people came and went, and no one was willing to stay for him.

　　”Well, I will be responsible, Ming Ge’er, don’t worry.” Li Feng let him go and promised seriously. No matter how weird and incredible the things happened, Ming Ge’er was right about one thing.

       The person he knew from the beginning was the one he wanted to live with, the only thing he was worried about was whether this person would suddenly leave him again, so he added: “You have to be responsible for me too.”

　　Tang Chunming couldn’t help laughing out loud, he grabbed Li Feng’s hand with one hand patted his chest with the other hand, and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely be responsible for you. Although I don’t know why I came to this world, I think I will live here forever, let’s raise our children together.” Even if he was asked to choose now, he would stay in this world. After all, in that world, his father had passed away a year ago, leaving him alone.

　　”good.”

　　Tang Chunming finally found someone to talk to about his distress, he pulled Li Feng and talked a lot, saying that he was originally a man, but came here and found out he could have a baby. 

     Li Feng listened quietly to the bizarre world that Ming Ge’er talked about, there were no gers there, only women and men. Then Li Feng’s face became even weirder, Ming Ge’er was actually a man of the same gender as him in that world.

      No wonder he always felt that Ming Ge’er’s behavior was different from that of ordinary ge’ers. He often showed a tangled expression when facing little Asen. Thinking of himself, if he suddenly swapped his soul to a ge’er and… He trembled and dared not imagine it anymore. It seemed that Ming Ge’er’s ability to adapt was better than his.

　　”Thank you for your hard work.” Li Feng suddenly held Tang Chunming’s hand and said, that everyone said Ming Ge’er was cruel, he cut off the relationship with his husband’s family and no longer had any contact with them, not long after Da Hu passed away, he found another man.

    But he thought, no one was kinder than Ming Ge’er, if it was someone else, could they really accept two children as well as Ming Ge’er? Even little Asen, who was born to him, called him a little bastard while trying hard to learn how to take care of him, from not daring to hold him in his arms at the beginning to changing diapers, bathing him, and feeding him.

   Now he was proficient in everything, and there was a look of pride in his eyes when he saw how fat and white he was.

　　”Umm…” Tang Chunming felt embarrassed after being praised. He scratched his head and said, “It’s okay. In fact, I remember everything that Ming Ge’er experienced from childhood to adulthood, so I can be regarded as Ming Ge’er’s continuation in another sense. So of course I have to raise the two children for him. No, this is not right, they are my sons now, and they will be your sons in the future, understand?”

　　”I know, after we get married, they’ll belong to the Li family, we will raise them together.” Li Feng no longer has any resentment in his heart. The deceased Zhao Dahu can no longer be an obstacle between him and Ming Ge’er because the Ming Ge’er in front of him is no longer the ge’er who had been married to Zhao Dahu.

　　Tang Chunming was very happy, there were many things in his space that he could not take out because they had never appeared in this world. He had asked Li Feng and Yu Mu to help collect seeds and uncommon crops, but the results weren’t significant. Now that Li Feng was here, he could just let him solve the problem.

　　Taking him for a walk in the fields and introducing him to new crops and unfamiliar things in the storage room, Li Feng was not a person who could not accept new things. His own experience was rare compared to that of ordinary country people.

     Therefore, he learned from Mingger that the world he lived in was richer than the present and had more abundant supplies.

　　When they were immersed in their chatter, a cry suddenly sounded from the room. The two of them didn’t care about anything else and rushed into the room, little Asen would cry at night, either because he had peed or was hungry, and at this time, he was probably hungry. Sure enough, the diaper was still dry, but the little mouth was puffy as if he was very aggrieved.

　　”Let’s go out, and heat the goat milk, don’t let him wake up Alin.”

　　”Okay.”

　　The two of them left the space in a hurry, and Li Feng did not show any intention of staying. In his opinion, perhaps it was this magical space that brought Ming Ge’er here, so he was grateful. But even without this space, he could also let Ming Ge’er live a good and stable life.

　　After drinking the goat milk and peeing, Xiao Asen fell asleep again, leaving Tang Chunming, who was not sleepy at all, staring at him. Li Feng touched Tang Chunming’s face with a smile in his heart and said, “He should be able to sleep until dawn after drinking the goat milk just now. You should go to bed early too, otherwise, you will be tired when you wake up tomorrow.”

　　”Okay, you too, go back.” Well, this whole ordeal also took quite some time.

　　”Well, leave those things to me, you don’t have to worry about them.” Before leaving, he kissed Ming Ge’er’s forehead, and Li Feng’s figure disappeared into the darkness. 

    Tang Chunming couldn’t help laughing when he saw him disappear,  they were probably the only ones climbing the wall in the middle of the night, and it was troublesome for Li Feng. He lowered his head touched little Asen’s fair face with his fingers and whispered, “You must be filial to your father Feng in the future. Even your biological father Dahu can’t do better than him, and treats other children better than his own.”

　　But Li Feng is different, he can see the shadow of his father in Li Feng, he will protect his family first and not let his family members suffer any grievances. How to educate his children is his own business and it is not the turn of others to point fingers.

      Tang Chunming actually knows that even if his father finds out that he is gay, he will only teach him a lesson at home, but will not allow others to say anything about him outside. But in the end, when his father was sick, he did not have the heart to disappoint his father and tell the truth. Instead, he lied to his father and said that he would find him a wife and give him a grandson.

　　Since coming to this world, he has seen all kinds of men, some are hypocritical and arrogant, some are pedantic and stubborn, and some are honest and thorough countrymen. But the only man who can fully tolerate him is Li Feng. It is a blessing for him and his two children to meet him.

　　He thought he wouldn’t sleep, but perhaps because he had let go of the last burden in his heart, he fell into a deep sleep very quickly. He only woke up the next morning when he heard Alin’s baby voice coaxing his younger brother.

　　”Mom, you’re awake, Asen is not well-behaved. Uncle Feng asked me to take care of my brother. Uncle Feng will be here soon.” Seeing his mother wake up, Alin reported immediately.

    Tang Chunming smiled and praised Alin, and touched little Asen’s buttocks, it was still dry. It was impossible that he didn’t urinate at night. That meant Li Feng came over early in the morning to change it.

　　Tang Chunming’s relationship with Li Feng has taken a step forward as the last layer of barriers between them has been lifted, and the Zhao family is naturally also very lively.

　　The third uncle wanted his youngest son to give some money to Zhao Laosan, but the usually obedient youngest son became stubborn this time and refused to listen to anything. He even refused to help Zhao Laosan harvest crops in the fields when asked to do so. This made the third uncle very angry at home, and the more he did so, the more he pushed his family away from him.

　　After barely harvesting the crops from the fields, drying them, selling what needed to be sold, and paying taxes as needed, Old Zhao counted this year’s income and found that it was less than half of previous years, so he went to the third uncle and started crying again.

　　The other members of the Zhao family laughed when they heard this. How could the yield not decrease? They didn’t plant them properly when they were planting, and they just left them there without taking good care of them. What do they think crops are? Crops return as much yield according to the work you put in.

      They need to be taken care of with all your heart to grow well and have a good harvest, but how many times have Wang Chunhua and Zhao Daniu gone to the fields of this family? What were they doing when other families were fertilizing and watering? When it came to harvest, they just wanted to be lazy and let other families do the work for them for free, they were spoiled to death!

　　”Stop making a fuss,” Third Uncle was also annoyed by old Zhao. After all, he was not young anymore.

      “When the farm work is too hard to do next year, just call a few helpers and pay them some wages to do it together. Don’t expect help from other families, no one has free time or more labor than you. If you are reluctant to pay, just do it yourself.” Seeing that Granma Zhao and Wang Chunhua were about to object, Third Uncle glared at them and said sternly.

　 　He also noticed the unhappiness of the younger generations, their affection would be worn out if this continued. Who could they expect to help in the future if not Zhao Laosan? So after reflection, Third Uncle could not let Granma Zhao and Wang Chunhua hold Zhao Laosan back.

     In fact, if it were not for Grandma Zhao’s greed for money, this marriage would not have come to this point. Zhao Laosan would have been able to associate with the Chief Clerk and would not have to work so hard to manage his life in the county.

　　“This…” It was not that Gramna Zhao could not read people’s faces, seeing that Third Uncle and the other people in the room looked unhappy, he knew that if he continued to make a fuss, no one would care about him. He reluctantly had to agree and brought up another matter: “Third Uncle what now? He is alone in the county and no one takes care of him. I don’t know if he can have enough food and clothes. Woo, it’s all my fault that I, as a mother, can’t help Pingchuan, woo…”

　　He was really aggrieved, San’er was angry with him when he left, he didn’t know how he could have forgotten San’er’s instructions and accepted the money and agreed to the marriage proposal from the Shen family. 

     If he had known that his son would be so angry, he would never have agreed to the Shen family’s proposal. In his heart, Grandma Zhao regarded Zhao Laosan as his support for the rest of his life. In his opinion, neither Zhao Daniu nor Zhao Dahu was as promising as Zhao Laosan and could not bring him glory.

　　”Cry! All you do is cry! What have you been doing before?” The third uncle asked loudly.

　　Granma Zhao still lowered his head and wiped away his tears, he had dealt with Third Uncle frequently and knew what tricks were effective.

　　”Okay, I’m distressed after hearing this, go back, send Daniu, and ask him to go to the county to see the Laosan. If you have anything to bring to him, pack it up quickly and ask Daniu to take it with him.” 

      Sure enough, although there was impatience in the third uncle’s voice, he still compromised. After all, Grandma Zhao Zhao the Laosan’s biological mother and he had to save his face.

　　”Is it okay to send Daniu?” It’s not that Grandma Zhao, as a mother, doubts his eldest son, but it’s just that he has little sense of presence in normal times, and he is worried about him doing things.

　　Zhao Daniu, who was huddled in a corner, had a dark look in his eyes but still said nothing.

　　”Why can’t Daniu do that? Even if Laosan passes the exam in the future, he still needs the help of his brothers, you know? You can’t be too biased. What will Daniu think of what you said? Da Hu is gone, and now the family’s land is still managed by Daniu. Ask yourself, who else can you rely on if not Daniu?”

       The third uncle scolded again, this brainless elder Zhao, he said this without caring about Daniu while Daniu was still here, obviously trying to make Daniu alienate him. Before Zhao Laosan can make a breakthrough, shouldn’t he rely on Daniu and his ge’er for support?

　　”I understand, Third Uncle. I’ll go back and pack the things first.” After all, Grandma Zhao didn’t dare to confront Third Uncle. Before his son left this time, he had left a message that all family matters must be consulted with the Third Uncle before making any decision. 

     This made him very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. He had to coax him first. However, there were still some gains, this time, Third Uncle took out some money to subsidize Laosan.

　　”Daniu…” After Grandma Zhao left, the Third Uncle called Zhao Daniu to his side. Seeing Daniu’s timid look, the Third Uncle sighed in his heart. He was obviously the eldest son, but he was born with such a temper. Even Da Hu had a better temper than him. Moreover, the most important point was that he was willing to take care of the family.

     Compared with Daniu, he was more like an eldest son. However, he still patiently persuaded him, saying nothing more than how the Laosan would take care of his family members after he passed the imperial examination.

       In the future, Daniu’s son would also rely on Zhao Laosan to care for him. Even if he couldn’t go to school, he could find a job in the city. Therefore, Daniu had to take good care of the family at this time so that the Laosan would have no worries.

　　Of course Zhao Daniu listened obediently and showed gratitude, which made Third Uncle feel at ease to hand over the matter to Zhao Daniu. However, if he knew what Zhao Daniu did after leaving Pingshan Village, he would regret it very much.

　　After the autumn harvest, the land in the village was not all left empty. Some families planted vegetables, some planned to plant rapeseed, and some wanted to plant winter wheat. Tang Chunming thought about it and decided to plant winter wheat on his land, compared with spring wheat, winter wheat tastes better.

　　After harvesting the crops, Li Feng used his fertilizer to till the land, without letting Tang Chunming do anything. Seeing that Tang Chunming’s family had also started to work, some families came to Tang’s door to ask if he had any good seeds because the harvest from Tang Chunming’s land was too eye-catching.

　　Tang Chunming himself used seeds from the space. After all, winter wheat had to consider the problem of winter resistance, and the advantage of space seeds was that they had stronger vitality than other seeds, so they could survive better than other seeds even out of space.

      However, the number of his seeds was limited, after discussing with Li Feng, he took out 300 kilograms of wheat seeds and gave them to the village head, who was in charge of the distribution. However, the price of one kilogram of wheat seeds was not low, 50 coins.

       If people from other villages came to buy them in the future, they would need 70 coins per kilogram. One mu of land required 10 to 20 kilograms of wheat seeds. In his opinion, his seeds were completely worth the price. Before, he sold grain to Teng Yu for 50 coins per kilogram.

　　Faced with such prices, some families backed off, it would cost nearly one or two taels of silver to cultivate one acre of land. How much could they sell it for after the grain was harvested next year? How much silver could they earn throughout the year? However, some families still believed in Tang Chunming. 

     Seeing how prosperous his family was now, they felt that they would not suffer any loss by following him, so they resolutely paid out the silver to buy enough wheat seeds to plant two acres of land, and after returning, they worked harder to farm the land.

　　Li Feng discussed with Ming Ge’er and found the village head, who wasn’t happy with this kid. He pushed the grain seed issue onto himself and made him offend others. Fortunately, this kid was idling by, he looked up and lowered his head again: “What are you doing here again? You want to collect money when the seeds haven’t been sold out yet?”

　　Shen Fulang used the shoe he was sewing to hit his husband. After all, the husband was the head of the family, if he didn’t step in, who would?

　　Li Feng brought good news to the village head he sat down and said, “I want the family who bought the seeds to come over and sign a contract with me. After the harvest next year, they will sell all the grain to me except for their own consumption. How about I charge them 45 coins per pound?”

　　The village head was shocked by the news, he was no longer angry. Of course, he was not really angry. He raised his head and confirmed again: “Really? Forty-five cents? How much can you sell it for? Won’t you lose money?”

　　”It won’t be a loss, don’t worry, uncle, how could Mingge’er and I do business if it had losses? You have eaten the crops from the fields, and you know how they taste. As long as we find a way, we can definitely sell them at a high price. It would be a loss if we sold such good crops at a low price.”

      This was the result of a later discussion with Mingge’er and Dr. He. Instead of letting the villagers sell them without knowing their worth, it would be better for them to collect the crops and sell them out. In the future, they can also create brand awareness, of course, this was what Mingge’er said.

　　”That’s right.” After grinding the wheat in the field into flour, Tang Chunming took everyone to have a meal. The village head still remembered that he couldn’t stop eating and was so full that he and his husband supported each other and walked back slowly.

      He had heard before that the rice eaten by wealthy families in the city was different from that eaten by families in the countryside, and the price was also higher. There was also rice, especially for the royal family, bought with silver and gold. Presumably, the grain grown by Mingge’er would not be much cheaper than those. Thinking of this, the village head became excited again.

　　”Okay, I’ll inform those families who have already bought seeds, so they can go and plant confidently.” After understanding the village head immediately put his hands behind his back and went out. Shen Fulang pointed at the door and said to Li Feng with a smile, “Look at this man, he can’t wait a moment, he ran out while you were still here.”

     Shen Fulang knew he would not suffer any loss by following Tang Chunming, so the couple discussed planting five acres of winter wheat. Tang Chunming wanted to charge less money, but he refused, saying that he should follow the same rules as the villagers in the future. However, the five acres of wheat seeds were not taken out from the 300 kilograms of seeds. The same was true for several other familiar families.

　　After the village head told the news, those families who did not buy seeds immediately regretted it. Forty-five cents per catty, even if only two hundred catties of grain were harvested per acre, that would still be nine taels of silver. And looking at Tang Chunming’s previous harvests, that was definitely more than that.

      Meaning, that seeds worth one tael of silver could be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver. How could those families sit still, they quickly went to the village head to buy seeds.
