I have been farming since I crossed over.

Old Master Lu said, "We're here, Tang'er, come show us around!"

Lu Jintang glanced at the crowd. Oh my goodness, the whole family is here! Aside from the children under five, everyone else is probably here! Oh, no, Dad's three aunts aren't here either. They must be looking after the kids!

Lu Jintang didn't say anything. Seeing that it was still early, he led everyone forward.

Arriving at the main road in the village, Lu Jintang stopped and pointed at the paddy fields before him. "This is all paddy fields, over 10,000 mu. The ones growing well here are the transplanted rice seedlings, which will be ready for harvest in about two and a half months."

Old Master Lu asked, "The weather is hot here, so the rice growth cycle is shorter?"

Lu Jintang nodded and said, "It should be, but I'm not sure. We'll know after the harvest."

"Won't the sparse transplanting affect the yield?" Lu Jinkun asked.

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Jinkun, then at Lu Jintang, without saying anything.

Lu Jintang scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specific situation. Miss Yang taught us how to transplant the rice. They've been transplanting for two months now, and the rice is growing well in the field. It's not sparse, and the rice ears are already forming."

Everyone took a deep breath. It was only the end of March and the rice ears were already appearing, which meant they could be harvested by the end of April. How could the capital not start sowing by the end of April?

Lu Jintang walked forward a distance, pointing to the baskets of rice seedlings and said, "These are the seedlings that have been sown. They can be transplanted in about twenty days." He then pointed to the cultivated fields in the distance and said, "These are for transplanting those paddy fields."

As they talked, they walked towards the east, where there were dry land and farms.

First, we came to the edge of the dry land next to the paddy field. Cages of green bitter melon seedlings spread along the vines, covering all the open space. Some were nestled and entangled with each other. The vines were full of large yellow flowers, which were very beautiful.

"Oh, this bitter melon will be ripe in another month. Around the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather will get warmer, which is just right for quenching thirst." Lu Jinkun bent down and looked at the bitter melon seedlings.

"Seventh Brother, how do you know it will be mature in a month? It's probably a little early. The weather isn't too hot." Lu Jintang said.

"What are you afraid of? This can be kept for a long time. Leave the vines longer when you cut them, and put the yellow part in the sand. It can be kept for two months." Lu Jinkun said with a smile, then glanced at his father and said, "We went to the melon farmers' fields and saw it. They told us so."

Lu Jintang nodded in understanding and said, "It would be good if it can be kept for two months. That way, we can sell it for a good price."

Old Master Lu pointed to the gentle slope in the distance and said, "Is that where they grow corn and potatoes? We can plant more corn, but if we plant too many potatoes, we won't be able to eat them all, right?"

"Grandpa, the more the better. We have a snack now, made with potatoes, called fried potatoes. They're delicious, and we sell thousands of kilograms a day."

Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Jiahang. "Hang boy, how many people are there in Qingshui County? Is the influx of foreign population high?"

Tang Jiahang, who was lost in thought, heard his great-grandfather's question and quickly replied, "The floating population isn't large, but the native population is quite good, around 100,000."

"Then Qingshui County still has a lot of room for development. After all, the population is here, right, boy Hang?" said Old Master Lu.

Lu Jintang brought a group of people to the farm. The animals they had hunted before were almost gone. Now the main animals were rabbits, which were hunted from the mountains, as well as chickens, ducks and pigs.

Lu Jintang was also shocked when he saw the chickens, ducks and piglets. It had only been a short time since he last saw them, yet they had all grown up. Especially the piglets, they were only about 20 kilograms when they were brought back, but now each weighs almost 50 kilograms. They were brought back only more than ten days ago, less than 20 days ago, so they are growing well!

Old Master Lu said, "Tang'er, you've taken the trouble to develop this place so well in such a short time. It's really great."

Lu Jintang forced a smile and said, "My grandson didn't worry too much. It was mainly because Miss Yang helped me a lot. The planting methods, seeds, and these livestock were all provided by Miss Yang's uncle."

After hearing this, Old Master Lu became even more satisfied with his future granddaughter-in-law.

Heading towards Changshan Village, Lu Jintang took everyone to see the vegetable planting base, fish pond, etc. Finally, he took everyone to a small courtyard by the river, intending to call Xiaojiu to go back to Qianhuang Mountain to welcome his grandfather and others.

In the small courtyard by the river, the voice of Xiaojiu picking and choosing could be faintly heard.

Lu Jintang, who had not yet entered the courtyard, felt a pang in his heart. What was going on?

Lu Jintang took a few quick steps and entered the courtyard, where he saw Xiaojiu, no, it should be called Lin Dong now, directing Yang Mingxi to cook.

"This dish tastes good, but it looks a bit ugly. Miss Yang, isn't it good enough that the dishes you cook are colorful, fragrant and delicious?" Lin Dong said.

"..."

Yang Mingxi was busy checking on the next dish, and started another steamed pork ribs. "Mr. Lin, do you think this is okay?"

Lin Dong picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork ribs and ate it, then said with a smile: "This is okay, but it's all bones. Wouldn't it be better to replace it with meat?"

Yang Mingxi: “…”

Lu Jintang was furious. He took two deep breaths and then said slowly, "Lin Dong, what are you doing? Look at your ability. Your tail is flying in the sky."

Lin Dong turned around and laughed out loud, "Great-grandfather, you're here? You've arrived just in time. I've fallen in love with a girl. Could you please help me propose marriage?"

When the Lu family saw Lin Dong, they thought he was just a villager. But as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone recognized him and was confused. Why was he here? Who was in the palace?

Old Master Lu was afraid that others would talk and cause trouble, so he quickly said, "Okay, who do you like, kid? I'll ask your great-grandmother to help you propose a marriage."

Lin Dong pointed at Yang Mingxi and said with a smile: "My great-grandfather, that's her, Miss Yang, who can cook a lot of delicious food. I want him to cook for me for the rest of his life."

Yang Mingxi: "..." She turned her head to look at Lu Jintang, pressed her nose with her hand, and almost got internal injuries from holding it in.

Lu Jintang: "Lin Dong!"

Old Master Lu: "..." What happened? Why is Tang'er so angry because Xiaojiu likes a girl? Could it be...?

Old Master Lu looked at the person involved. The little girl touched her nose with her hand, trying hard to suppress her smile. It was obvious that she wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to do so. Was she laughing at a joke?

Old Master Lu understood. It turned out that Xiaojiu had taken advantage of Tang'er's absence to steal his youngest uncle's girl.

Old Master Lu couldn't help laughing, he squinted his eyes to see how his youngest grandson handled the matter, and at the same time looked at the girl in front of him: Such a misunderstanding happened, but the girl was neither anxious nor impatient, and had an expression of watching the fun without minding any trouble. Well, not bad, not bad, she knows the big picture and is courageous, and most importantly, she has complete trust in her youngest grandson!
