I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 116 There is strength in numbers

When he arrived at Qianhuang Mountain, Yang Mingxi was shocked by the scene before him.

How long has it been since I last came here? How come it has changed so much? I remember the day when the Lu family put up the beams, I was surprised to see the changes in Qianhuang Mountain. Compared with now, it was like a small witch meeting a big witch.

Looking over Qianhuang Mountain now, there is almost no wasteland left. All of it is reclaimed fields, but they have not yet been planted.

The greenest part of the entire Qianhuang Mountain is the more than 200 acres of rice seedling fields, which are now ready for transplanting.

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi's surprised eyes and said proudly, "How is it? Qianhuang Mountain will no longer be a desolate mountain soon."

Yang Mingxi gave a thumbs-up and said, "Amazing, really amazing. How much land have you reclaimed now?"

Lu Jintang said, "I've roughly measured it. It's about 8000 acres, and the remaining area is at most 5000 acres."

Yang Mingxi opened her eyes wide and said, "Didn't they say the total area was 1 mu? How come there are 5000 mu more?"

"It was just a rough estimate before, but now that it has been reclaimed, we know the exact number." Lu Jintang said with a smile.

"I'm afraid the rice seeds are not enough. When you go to get the corn seeds, remember to tell your aunt-in-law that you can prepare them." Yang Mingxi said.

"Okay, when we get there, tell Master's aunt-in-law that we can plant them all at once."

"I'm not sure if I can get it out in one go, but I'll try to do it in one go to save myself the trouble."

While the two were talking, the Lu family had already moved all the rice seeds downstairs, and many of the rice seedling fields were covered with tarpaulins.

Yang Mingxi pointed at the people sowing rice seedlings in the distance and said, "When did your family get so many people? We've just finished moving in here, and they're almost done planting over there?"

Lu Jintang said, "I don't have that many people. I only have less than 150 people. Hanghang sent 500 people over, so the progress is so fast."

"Well, not bad, you're worthy of being an official. I see a lot of land has been opened up on the slopes!"

"Well, I just haven't decided what to plant yet. Today they said they had corn seeds, so I thought I could plant corn. I just don't know how much corn seeds Master's aunt can provide."

"How much more do you want? Go ask later!"

Lu Jintang walked around and said, "I think the gentle slope has a larger area, at least 20,000 mu, which is almost the same."

Yang Mingxi said, "Then you can divide it up and plant a little of everything. Tomorrow I'll go see what we have and get them all out for you. Plant them!"

Lu Jintang said, "Okay, I've noticed that rice that's been germinated grows very quickly. Look at your rice, it's almost ready to be harvested in two months at most."

Yang Mingxi thought about the situation of her rice. It seemed to be true. Was she going to plant the rice seedlings soon? Wasn't there enough rice seeds?

"Well, it looks like they're growing well. I think we can harvest them early. How about I spread my seedlings near your house?"

"Okay, if we can make it in time, we'll do the next batch. If not, we'll do another batch. I'll tidy up the fields by the river and spread the seeds over there."

The two of them walked towards the farm while talking.

800 ducks were left for Lu Jintang's family, 200 were left for Yang Mingxi's family, 3000 chicks were left, and 900 were left for Yang Mingxi's family. Lu Jintang arranged the chickens and ducks and accompanied Yang Mingxi back to the Yang family.

At this moment, Lu Er came over with a large group of people. He ran over from a distance and said, "Master Thirteen, Lu Liu is back with more than 300 people."

Yang Mingxi saw that Lu Jintang must be busy, so she smiled and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back by myself. I can still handle this."

Lu Jintang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll let Lu Er take you home. We'll talk about it over dinner tonight."

Lu Er drove the mule cart, and Yang Mingxi followed beside him, heading towards the old Yang family in Changshan Village.

After crossing the river, Yang Mingxi looked at the road and suddenly remembered the day when she just returned home and Zheng Huairen got off the bus here.

Come to think of it, this seemed like a long time ago. It was that encounter that made Yang Mingxi want to find someone in this other world, to spend their lives in love. But before it even began, the baby died in the womb.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingxi felt a little depressed. With his head lowered, he kicked stones with his feet as he walked towards the old Yang's house.

At the gate of Zheng's courtyard, Zheng Huairen, who was secretly excited to see Yang Mingxi come back, was hit by Yang Mingxi's unintentional action. He thought that even if the two could not be together, the good impression they had before would make them familiar strangers, instead of seeing each other like now.

Zheng Huairen was thinking about something in his mind when he heard his second brother's cold voice: "A real man, if you give up, you lose. Don't be a rat in the gutter, just peeping at other people's happiness."

Zheng Huairen looked at his second brother, who had become increasingly independent since his facial injury healed, and without saying anything, turned around and went back to the Zheng family.

In Old Yang's yard, all the people who went out to set up stalls have returned, but no one seems to be very interested.

When Yang Mingxi entered the courtyard, Yang Mingjiang was the first to stand up and say, "Xier is back, sit here."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I'm back. The chicks and ducklings have been brought back. If you want to raise them, just come to me and get them."

Yang Mingjiang stood up and followed Yang Mingxi, saying, "Then I'll help count the chicks."

Yang Minghu and Yang Mingyu also stood up and said they would help count the chicks.

Yang Mingxi looked around at everyone and found that no one was injured, so he said, "Okay, everyone come together, it will be faster."

Gao has recently been making some puppets with her two daughters. Among the puppet pictures Yang Mingxi gave her before, there are still two series that have not been put on sale: the cute little chicken series and the big-eyed cute rabbit series.

Gao and Yang Laosan meant to first make enough puppets, and then make a few sample garments, and then they would be ready to open the business.

Gao was the first to step out and said, "We have 300 chicks and 100 ducks."

Yang Mingxi nodded, wrote it down in her notebook, and signaled her brothers to go catch the chicks and ducklings.

Next was Ding, who also had the 500 chicks and 300 ducks mentioned earlier.

Seventh Aunt Zhang walked up to Yang Mingxi and said, "Xier, I'm out setting up a stall in our family, and your seventh uncle is the only one left. I don't think we can raise so many, so we can just raise 100 of each kind first, is that okay?" After saying that, she looked at Yang Mingxi with an innocent look.

Yang Mingxi looked at Zhang and didn't agree immediately. Instead, she asked, "Is Seventh Uncle also of the same opinion?"

Zhang smiled and said, "Your seventh uncle is embarrassed to come and tell you, and I feel sorry for him because he has so many children to support."

Yang Mingxi looked at Zhang a few more times. She had thought that this Seventh Aunt came from a well-off family and was not much different in age from herself, so she should be someone who could be entrusted with important tasks. However, she did not expect her to be such a person.

Mrs. Wu couldn't stand watching this and said in a serious voice, "Seventh Old Lady, what nonsense are you saying in front of Xi'er? If you don't want to raise the child, then don't raise it. I'm not forcing you to raise it."

Zhang immediately said with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, you really understand me. Then our family will not support her. We don't need that little money."

Yang Mingxi looked at the devilish Zhang, and a nameless anger rose in her heart. She said loudly: "Okay, if you don't want to raise it, you don't need to come to register."

Zhang twisted her body and left.

Fourth Uncle stepped forward and said, "Xi'er, look, our house isn't finished yet, so why don't we raise a few more, maybe 100 first?"

Yang Minghai, who was helping to count the chicks, heard this and stood up and said, "Xier, remember this: Yang Minghai has 500 chicks."

Yang Mingzhou, who was busy on the side, shouted loudly: "Yang Mingzhou, 300 ducklings."

After Yang Mingzhou finished speaking, he ran over and said, "From now on, my father's words will not count. My brother and I will make the decision."

Yang Lao Er looked at the two brothers Yang Minghai and remembered that his eldest son, Yang Minghe, had the same character. He wanted to suggest raising fewer children, but he didn't dare to say it. He said stubbornly, "My family has already agreed on the number."

"Dad, didn't we agree that we would raise fewer children? Why did you change your mind again?" Yang Minghe's wife, Tang, said loudly.

Yang Minghe didn't even bother picking up the chicken and said, "You have no right to speak here. Go back."

Yang Minghe said, "My family ordered 500 chicks this morning."

There were no major problems in the Yang family's main house. The number of chicks and ducklings remained the same as in the morning: 100.

After distributing the chicks and ducklings, Yang Mingxi asked Yang Mingyu to take the rest to the new house and raise them there.

Yang Mingjiang took the time to recount what happened today. There were a few minions nearby who wanted to cause trouble, but they were eventually sent away by Lu Da.

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Okay, as long as it's handled."
