I have been farming since I crossed over.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a loud shout came from afar. The voice was so powerful that it seemed to pierce the sky.

Everyone stopped talking and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Father Wan striding towards them.

As he walked, he shouted, "My dear relatives, if there's anything you need help with at home, please send someone over to let us know! Look, none of your older kids are home, and this job can't be delayed! Let's work together and get it done!"

Hearing this, Yang Laowu quickly raised his head and looked around. After seeing who it was, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face.

It turned out that the people who came were his second son's wife, who had not yet married into the family. They were all here now. Yang Laowu was delighted and quickly stood up to greet them. "Oh, you are so polite, father-in-law! Actually, these are not urgent matters. Even if we can't finish them today, we can continue them tomorrow! So I didn't want to bother you. After all, you have your own things to do at home!"

Father Wan laughed heartily, waved his hand and said, "Hey! We are no strangers to each other! We are just making some fertilizer at home. It doesn't matter if we do it a day earlier or a day later! Come on, don't just stand there, follow me to work in the fields!" Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the fields, waving to the people behind him to follow.

Soon, the Wan family came to Yang Laowu in a mighty procession. Wan's father asked with a smile on his face, "Father-in-law, can you tell us which bitter melons are ripe and ready to be picked?"

Yang Mingxi, standing nearby, looked at the lively and heartwarming scene and couldn't help but smile knowingly. She thought to herself: With these two families living in harmony and helping each other, their future will surely be more prosperous!

Yang Mingxi looked at the Wan family members who had come to help with such enthusiasm with a smile on her face. Her heart was filled with gratitude, but she did not hesitate to offer any politeness or refuse. Instead, she stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wan, Aunt Wan, Second Sister-in-law, and all the girls, let me teach you how to distinguish which bitter melons are ripe and can be picked, and which are not yet ripe and should not be picked easily."

Hearing Yang Mingxi's affectionate call, Wan Daya couldn't help but feel a little shy, her cheeks instantly flushed. But she quickly recovered, walked quickly to Yang Mingxi's side with a smile, and said softly, "Then please, Sister Xi'er, explain it to us in detail. If something like this happens again, just send someone to tell us directly, and don't let the rest of you run around all the time."

After saying this, Wan Daya turned her gaze towards Wu, who was working in the fields, and lowered her voice slightly to remind Yang Mingxi, "Sister Xier, Aunt Wu has to go to work, right? Let her go quickly. We'll come and help pick the bitter melons! Otherwise, we'll delay tomorrow's business. It would be terrible if something goes wrong!"

After hearing Wan Daya's caring words, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but smile and joked mischievously: "Second sister-in-law, even if our business is a little bit worse tomorrow, we will definitely not let you go hungry, so you can rest assured!" As she said that, she reached out and gently patted Wan Daya's shoulder to express her comfort.

As Wan Daya listened to Yang Mingxi's words, her already rosy cheeks now glowed even brighter, like a ripe apple, a truly endearing red. She lowered her head in shame, clutching the basket tightly in both hands, and hurried toward the bitter melon patch, as if eager to escape this embarrassing situation as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, the other girls in the Wan family quickly followed Wan Daya's pace. They were all agile and skilled, and they did their work without any delay.

They shuttled between the vines, deftly picking ripe bitter melons with their hands, and then carefully placed them in the basket. In a short while, the basket was filled with green, tender and juicy bitter melons.

Meanwhile, Mother Wan was leisurely following Father Wan, looking around absentmindedly, eager to take a break whenever she could.

Such a procrastinating attitude naturally annoyed Wan's father. He couldn't help but stop, turned around, glared at Wan's mother fiercely, and scolded her loudly.

Wan Daya, who was busy at work, heard her father's scolding and looked over. When she saw her mother's lazy look, she couldn't help but shook her head helplessly.

Then, she shouted at Wan's mother, "Mom, look, you can't even pick a bitter melon! Why don't you come over and help us carry the baskets? It's such a simple thing, I believe you can do it well!"

Upon hearing this, Wan's mother showed a hint of reluctance on her face, but she did not dare to disobey her daughter's order, so she had to drag her heavy steps to Wan Daya.

In the following time, Wan's mother was ordered around by Wan Daya and had no time to rest. Although Wan's mother complained bitterly, she could only obey her eldest daughter's orders in the face of her capable daughter.

Yang Mingxi, standing nearby, took in all of this. Seeing Wan Daya's neat and efficient workmanship and her methodical direction, Yang Mingxi's favorability towards her second sister-in-law soared instantly. In her eyes, Wan Daya was far more reliable than her eldest sister-in-law. Not only was she responsible, but she was also straightforward and generous in her dealings with others, earning her genuine admiration and liking.

As the sun gradually set in the evening, its afterglow cast a light golden hue across the Yang family's fields. The Yang family had already harvested all their bitter melons and were carrying them, basket by basket, to the front of the Yang family's courtyard, waiting for Lu Changdong to arrange for them to be taken away.

Zou, returning from work, saw the bustling scene from afar. She slowly approached, watching everyone busily moving the bitter melons. A smile spread across her face, and she said, "Oh, picking bitter melons today! There's a lot going on in the workshop, and I'm a little late. I'll come help move them!" As she spoke, she slowly bent down, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to step forward to move the baskets.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi quickly stopped Zou and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, please don't go out and get tired! You've worked hard all day. Go back to the house and rest. Prepare to cook dinner! We will be done with the work here soon."
