I have been farming since I crossed over.

When they arrived at the river where Yang Mingxi had first gone up the mountain to dig herbs and grill fish, Lu Jintang let the three siblings down. The two little ones ran around on the grass by the river. Strictly speaking, one was running around and the other was crawling around. They were having a lot of fun.

Lu Jintang went down to the river and caught a few fish. He said to Yang Mingxi, "When I first met you, you were probably here digging herbs and grilling fish. Your grilled fish was so delicious that I even stole one. Ah Xi, I've never even tasted your grilled fish."

After hearing what Lu Jintang said, Yang Mingxi remembered that she felt like a fish was suddenly missing. It turned out that it was stolen by Lu Jintang!

"So it was you who took it away? At that time, I felt that one was missing, but I didn't see you." Yang Mingxi said with sudden realization.

"How could you have time to look at me at that time? There were always other people in your eyes and heart!" Lu Jintang said sourly.

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang, who was not as optimistic and cheerful as usual, and said with some sadness: "You saw everything, and you are still so nice to me, are you stupid?"

"So you know I'm good to you? I always thought you were slow to react. Actually, I just think you're good. From the moment I saw you, I felt you would be my salvation, so I wanted to snatch you away." Lu Jintang paused, then slowly said, "He's not your soulmate."

"I know. From the moment he gave up, I gave up on him too. You don't know, when I first met him, he was carrying the burden of the entire family alone. Everyone in his family was sick, but he didn't give up, so I thought he was very reliable. But there were times when I misjudged him." Yang Mingxi sat by the river and said slowly.

"Are you sad? Do you feel sorry? As far as I know, you cured everyone in their family." Lu Jintang stared at Yang Mingxi and said.

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "You may not believe me, but I'm not sad at all, nor do I feel sorry. I should even thank him for letting me cut my losses in time!"

"Stop loss? What does that mean?"

"It's about ending the relationship. Actually, we didn't explicitly say it started, so it didn't end either."

"What about you and me? I've told you many times! Why do you always avoid me? If you have any concerns, you can tell me directly. Don't always ignore me, okay?" Lu Jintang said aggrievedly.

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and for some reason, she wanted to take a gamble. If she lost, the worst that could happen was she could start over again. There was nothing she couldn't afford to lose.

Yang Mingxi casually picked up a stick and gently patted the water in the river. Then she said quietly, "Lu Jintang, do you know? I've been away for ten years and have seen wives and concubines fighting each other. So I swore that I would be with one person for the rest of my life. My heart is small and can only hold one person. I'm also very selfish. He can only have me. Love is crowded. Two people are just right. One more person will die without a burial place."

"A pair for life, is that what it means? Ah Xi, I can promise you that we will be a pair for life, but it won't work if I say it too much. Just wait and see how I perform in the future, okay?" Lu Jintang said infatuatedly.

"You don't mind me..." Yang Mingxi couldn't ask.

"What do you mind? Is it better with Zheng Huairen?" Lu Jintang laughed, and his laugh was a little self-deprecating: "You also said that if you didn't start, then it doesn't count."

He paused, his voice becoming gentle: "Besides, I snatched you away from me, what right do I have to mind you, right?"

As Lu Jintang spoke, he reached out and gently embraced Yang Mingxi, holding her in his arms.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Yang Mingxi's forehead, his eyes full of love.

Yang Mingxi was a little shy because of his actions, but at the same time she felt very warm in her heart.

She looked up at Lu Jintang, her eyes sparkling.

They just hugged each other quietly, enjoying each other's warmth and love.

"Third sister, give me a hug!" At some point, Yang Minghong brought Yang Mingqing to Yang Mingxi's side and shouted.

Yang Mingqing can't stand yet, he can only crawl, and now he is lying on the grass?

Yang Mingxi's actions were faster than her brain's reaction. She stood up immediately, hugged Yang Mingqing and said, "Qing'er, come here, let your third sister hold you." After that, she reached out to pull Yang Minghong and hold both brothers together.

Lu Jintang turned around and picked up Yang Minghong and said, "Brother, can I hold you? Third sister is holding your younger brother. Does Honghong want to eat grilled chicken or grilled fish?"

"Hug, Yu Yu, Rou Rou." Yang Minghong said slowly.

"Puchi, do you still remember that Yuyu is Rourou?" Yang Mingxi said with a smile.

"Chicken, meat, Honghong eats it, brother eats it."

Lu Jintang hugged Yang Minghong and said to him, "Honghong, if you call me Third Brother-in-law, I will grill fish and roast pheasant for you, okay?"

"Meat, Honghong eats meat, Third Sister eats meat, Third Sister grills meat."

Lu Jintang laughed happily and said, "Axi, your brother calls me brother-in-law, he calls me third brother-in-law." After that, he threw Honghong into the air, and then caught him, back and forth several times.

Yang Minghong laughed happily, and the two of them had a great time. Yang Mingqing also twisted his body and waved his hands at Lu Jintang fiercely.

Lu Jintang held Yang Minghong in one hand and Yang Mingqing in the other, leaning close to Yang Mingxi and saying, "Doesn't it look like a family of four? A happy family of four."

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Let's go and deal with the fish quickly, otherwise it will get smelly." As she spoke, she pushed Lu Jintang towards the river.

When he arrived at the river, Yang Mingxi found a sharp stone and squatted down, ready to process the fish.

Lu Jintang put the two children down and said, "You go play for a while, but don't go to the river. Your brother-in-law will grill fish for you." Then he took out the dagger he carried with him, took the fish from Yang Mingxi's hand, and quickly removed the scales.

After finishing the fish scales, he looked up at Yang Mingxi and said, "Axi, what else do you want to do?"

Yang Mingxi stood by and gestured, "We also need to gut it. Look, cut it open from here. Don't throw away the contents of the stomach. We also need to remove the gills. You can't eat this either!"

Lu Jintang obeyed, but he couldn't get the gills right. They almost never ate fish because they couldn't get them right and they were stinky.

Yang Mingxi squatted down, picked up a fish, inserted two fingers into it, twisted it, and pulled out a whole gill. Then, using river water, he cleaned the blood from the fish's head while brushing the black stuff from its belly. "This smells really fishy. We need to get rid of it. A brush is best."

Lu Jintang thought about the brush Yang Mingxi used at home and said, "Then I'll make one. Can I use a thin bamboo branch?"

"Just cut a piece of bamboo and cut it like grandpa and his friends make bamboo sticks, but don't cut the bottom." Yang Mingxi said as he processed the fish belly.

"Okay, don't use your hands, be careful not to scratch yourself. I'll be back soon." After saying that, Lu Jintang went to cut bamboo to make a brush.
