Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Huanxi had slept all afternoon and was no longer sleepy. She put her son on the crib, rocked him gently, and asked casually, "Did you go to Hutian Village to announce the good news?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I have reported it. In a few days, my uncle and his friends will come to give Zhuangzhuang some rice."

"Do you think they would have any problem with the child having my last name?"

"What opinions can they have? This is our business, we have the final say, how can others have the right to make decisions?"

Gu Huanxi turned to look at him and asked teasingly, "Truthfully?"

Xu Huaiyi said frankly, "Of course I have to. Didn't we agree before that no matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, the baby's surname will be yours? Do you think I'm going to regret it just because I gave birth to a son?"

Gu Huanxi snorted with a half-smile, "I'm just afraid you won't accept it."

Xu Huaiyi said resentfully, "Wife, you underestimate me too much. I killed someone, don't you know that? I don't favor boys over girls. I love my sons and daughters equally. How I treat Ah Li is seen by everyone. I care about him more than my son, right?"

"That was before we only had A Li as our child, and you had no choice..." Gu Huanxi stared at him, pressing him step by step, "You really don't regret it? Don't want your son to take your last name? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Xu Huaiyi held her shoulders, his eyes neither dodging nor evading, "Don't test me, my wife, you can rest assured. No matter who comes to me to murmur, I will not be shaken. In my heart, there is really no difference between sons and daughters. If we really want to talk about deep feelings, it must be Ah Li. How many years has she been with us? This kid is only one day old, can he still compete with his sister for favor?

The original owner was a son-in-law. According to the rules, A Li should have had the same surname as you, Gu. But when we traveled through time, the name Xu Zhao was decided long ago. Didn’t you argue with me?

Now we each have one, it's just fair, how great!

As for the issue of men and women, only ancient people cared about it. How could I be so pedantic?

What's wrong with my daughter? My daughter can still inherit the family business! As for the title, the court will definitely not agree to give it to Ah Li, because that belongs to Zhuang Zhuang, but my daughter will not suffer any loss. She is already a county lady, and she has no lack of status. In the future, I may be able to earn her a county lady title, which is more noble than a marquis.

So, I don’t mind if my son has your last name, he’s my son anyway.”

Gu Huanxi raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this, "You've passed the test, otherwise, hum..."

Xu Huaiyi also laughed, "I am a model husband, a good husband who is filial to his parents, and a standard daughter slave. How can I give you a chance to deal with me?"

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't forget your original intention. Keep up the good work."

Xu Huaiyi agreed with a grin.

Gu Huanxi's test was not unreasonable. She was sure that someone would whisper in Xu Huaiyi's ear that it would be fine in the past, but he was now a marquis and his status and position were no longer the same. He could find a reason to divorce her, let alone let his son take his surname.

After all, he really has a title to inherit, so it is only reasonable for him to let his son take his surname.

Gu Huanxi is in a weak position now. According to people's current thinking, all her wealth and glory were given by Xu Huaiyi. How could she have any say in her family?

It would definitely do more harm than good if my son had her surname.

She actually didn't care whose surname the child took, but since she inherited the original owner's body and had borrowed the original owner's father to do so many things, she had to repay him.

So, she had to warn him in advance to prevent him from being instigated.

The weather was just right on the day we delivered the rice. Although there was thick snow on the road, the bright sun made me feel warm on my body.

Many people came from Hutian Village, led by Uncle Xu, who carried a wicker basket filled with this year's millet and a layer of red-skinned eggs on top of the millet. In addition, there were also brown sugar and noodles.

This is the rule in Xujia Village. Since Gu Huanxi has no maternal family, they did it for her.

As for other relatives and friends, they will not come to congratulate until the full moon.

Gu Huanxi was in confinement after giving birth and couldn't stand the fatigue, so Aunt Xu brought a few female relatives into the room to talk for a while, and then went outside to drink tea.

Ah Li entertained the guests like a little adult, and bursts of laughter could be heard from the room from time to time, which showed that she, the little host, entertained the guests very well.

The man was accompanied by Xu Huaiyi, and they had a very pleasant conversation. He was humble and had high EQ. As long as he was willing to make someone happy to sleep, no one could escape.

However, the good atmosphere was finally silenced by Uncle Xu's words.

As Gu Huanxi expected, Uncle Xu inevitably mentioned the question of whose surname Zhuangzhuang took.

He didn't have any problem with Gu Huanxi, he was just worried about his nephew, "Huaiyu, this is a different time. You are a marquis now. If you want to be named a prince in the future, and Zhuangzhuang's surname is Gu, this, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?"

When the others heard this, they looked at each other, but no one said anything. Even Village Chief Xu, who had always supported Xu Huaiyi unconditionally, did not say anything to stop him.

Obviously, everyone had a similar attitude and felt that Xu Huaiyi had suffered a loss.

Xu Huaiyi said calmly, "Uncle, no matter how high I climb, I am still the son-in-law of the Gu family. This cannot be changed. There is a written document. A gentleman values ​​his word. Can I turn my back on him?

Besides, even without the paper to restrain me, I can't be ungrateful.

My father-in-law has made great contributions to my current status, and Huanxi has given even more. I can’t ignore all these now that I’m rich, right?

Then what am I?

Besides, Huanxi has treated me well enough. Ah Li should have taken her last name Gu, but she gave me the last name Xu, which gave me enough face. I should know what is good and what is bad, and remember the favor!"

These words, neither soft nor hard, made Uncle Xu feel uneasy, but thinking of the ancestors of the Xu family, he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Ali is a good girl, but she is a girl after all, and she can't set up a household..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted calmly, "Uncle, to me, daughters and sons are the same, there is no difference. When we divide the family property in the future, they will both get half and half, without favoring one over the other. Maybe I will favor Ah Li a little more. She is my eldest daughter. She has been sensible and filial since she was young. She is also smart and motivated. Why can't she support the family?"

As for Zhuangzhuang, we don’t know what his future will be like. If he doesn’t live up to expectations, I will definitely not give him my family property to squander.

To be honest, I prefer to live with my daughter in my old age rather than my son."

One sentence caused a thousand waves, especially the last sentence, which challenged people's cognition nowadays.

Raising sons to provide for one's old age is an iron rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. As for daughters, they are like water spilled, so how can one count on them?

Without a son, the family is deemed extinct and one cannot hold his head up in the village. Who would be proud of this like Xu Huaiyi?

Even the family property was said to be divided in half, which was unbelievable in their view. According to the customary rules, the family property should belong to the sons, and the daughters could only take away a little dowry and had no right to compete for it.

However, Xu Huaiyi has accumulated so much prestige now that few people dare to refute him.

Only Uncle Xu, as if irritated, said with a pale face, "Huaiyi, how can you think like that? How can I live with my daughter when I have a son? Wouldn't that make my son unfilial?

You can't have such dangerous thoughts. Zhuangzhuang will definitely follow you. Your future success, establishing a family and bringing honor to the family will all depend on him!

No matter how good Ah Li is, she is only concerned about her parents' family. You didn't even mention your previous plan to keep her at home and recruit a son-in-law, but you can't find her a live-in son-in-law now, can you?

Then where does that put Zhuangzhuang?

So, sooner or later, she will get married, and once she gets married, she will belong to another family. If you give her half of the family property, isn't that giving it away to someone with an outsider?

No matter how much you love your daughter, you can't ignore the rules and etiquette, otherwise people will laugh at you, right?"

Xu Huaiyi frowned. He knew that his thoughts were incompatible with those of the ancients, but when he heard them express that Ah Li was inferior to Zhuang Zhuang, he still felt uncomfortable. "Uncle, I don't care what others think. I earned my family business myself, so I can divide it up however I want. No one else can interfere. Don't say that I am reluctant to marry Ah Li off. Even if she does get married someday, she is still my daughter. I can take her back anytime.

As for Zhuangzhuang, I will educate him well. Sons and daughters are the same. In this family, they have the same status. He will definitely not look down on his sister. If he dares to think of monopolizing the price, I can break his legs. "

The last word was tinged with hostility, which showed that Xu Huaiyi was not just uttering harsh words. He was serious and really treated his daughter and son equally.

Uncle Xu, "..."

He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, as if he was frightened by something.

Village Chief Xu then asked, "What about the title? What are your plans?"

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "Just give the title to Zhuangzhuang. Ah Li is already a county lady, so she doesn't need it. The siblings shouldn't haggle over such a small thing. Those who are capable will earn it themselves. Those who are thinking about their parents are incompetent."

A good man doesn't want to eat the food of a divided family. He doesn't want to raise a son who relies on his parents for support.

Village Chief Xu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and nodded with a smile, "Huai Yi is right. Children with a bright future are all thinking about how to make a living, whether it's studying, practicing martial arts, or doing business to make money, all of which are ways out. What kind of ability is it to just think about sharing the little things your parents have saved?"

The others then began to echo.

Uncle Xu wanted to say something, but his youngest son pulled his sleeve, forcing him to swallow his words.

After dinner, when the people from Hutian Village left, Xu Huaiyi chatted with his daughter indirectly for a while. When he heard that no one was saying nonsense in front of her, he felt relieved and went to find Gu Huanxi to complain.

"Why is uncle always so confused? He has to meddle in other people's business! It's true that my last name is Xu, but I have severed ties with the Xu family. Yet you still want me to bring honor to our family. Ha, if you had known this would happen, why did you do that in the first place?

You didn't stop your brother from selling his son then, so why are you trying to do it again now?

Isn't it enough to just take care of his business? Why does he have to worry about what surname our child will have? A hundred years from now, surnames won't matter. I don't understand why he is so stubborn.

Village Chief Xu was much smarter than him. He was not a troublemaker and just showed some concern for the title. When he knew that I would give it to Zhuangzhuang, he didn't say anything else.

Oh, I have to talk to my second cousin later and ask him to persuade my uncle more. At this age, it is better to cultivate your character. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If the elders interfere, it will only cause trouble..."

Gu Huanxi had expected this and was very calm. "Just listen to it, don't take it to heart. Uncle is just like that. I'm afraid his temper can't be changed. However, he is quite good in managing the charity hall. He is kind-hearted, responsible, and does his best in everything. With him around, I dare to expand the scale of the charity hall and be a hands-off manager. After all, no one is perfect. Try to see his shining points..."

Xu Huaiyi grumbled, "I'm not really mad at him. I just feel sorry for our daughter. Why do they take it for granted that the family business belongs to the son? Why do they think that daughters are like spilled water and cannot be relied upon? Our daughter is so sensible and hardworking, and they clearly saw it, but they still don't take it seriously.

Is gender so important? Can you just erase everything that Ah Li has done?

It's really hateful!

Ah Li is still young now. If she experiences this kind of injustice in the future and knows the malice towards women in this era, how painful will she be?"

Gu Huanxi sighed, "The general environment is like this. We can only treat everyone equally at home, but we can't influence other people's attitudes. There is nothing we can do about it. Unless the court is willing to improve the status of women and give them respect, Ah Li will have to face those injustices sooner or later."

Xu Huaiyi said thoughtfully, "Why not wait for Xiaoyu to take over and urge him to pay attention to women so that men and women can be equal?"

"Do you think it's possible? Even if Xiaoyu agrees, others won't buy it."

"It would be great if we could go back in time. Ah Li would be able to go out into the future like a boy, study and work. Who would dare to look down on us?"

Hearing this, even Gu Huanxi couldn't help but be moved for a few seconds, "It's a beautiful fantasy. If it really comes true, would you be willing to give up everything you have now?"

In later generations, the two of them were just ordinary workers. They lost their titles of marquis, commander of the royal guards, and their huge family business.

Not everyone can accept returning to the days before liberation.

Xu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, then said firmly, "I am willing to do so."

His trip was not in vain, he did a lot of meaningful things, benefited the people of Dayong, and realized his dream in his previous life. He should be satisfied.

Corn and wheat are now widely available. When sweet potatoes are planted in large quantities, there will be no famine in the world and people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment in the near future.

When the prosperous era began, he left without any regrets.
