I have been farming since I crossed over.

By the time we got home, the sun was setting, and Uncle Yang and his family had already prepared the pig's head and feet. Aunt Li called for dinner.

Dinner was the same as the morning, with leftover tofu and cabbage, and the fish caught by my three friends in the afternoon. The whole yard was filled with the fragrance.

Third uncle's family was called by old man Yang to the main house for dinner. After dinner, I heard that third uncle was forbidden to eat fish. Neither of the old couple spoke to him. He was subjected to cold violence by old man Yang!

After dinner, Yang Mingxi, with the help of her eldest and third aunts, blanched the pig's feet, head, liver, and lungs. Then she added the spices she had bought, peppercorns, and bay leaves, divided them into two pots, added some soybean paste and soy sauce to each pot, and began to stew them.

In another pot, Yang Mingxi placed a slab of pork ribs, split open but not chopped, and a chicken, and began to stew them! Then, she had her aunt fry two large bowls of tofu in oil, poured them in, and simmered them over low heat!

In an instant, the air above Old Yang's house was filled with fragrance, making everyone look forward to coming to Old Yang's house for a meal tomorrow.

Yang Mingxi had no idea how Yang Lao San was dealt with behind the scenes by the old couple. She only knew the cold violence in public. After she finished making the stewed food, she invited everyone to come out to the yard to choose fabrics. No one wanted them at first, but in the end, it was Old Lady Yang who spoke up: "Take all the things that Xi girl gave you! She just came back with two tattered quilts and two sets of clothes that were cheated by the third brother, and the pair of tattered cloth shoes on her feet. You should take her things and discuss making some clothes and shoes for her!"

Then everyone started to choose. I have to say that Yang Laosan is worthy of having been in the cloth shop business for more than 20 years. The colors and patterns of the cloths he chose are very good.

Finally, there were 12 bolts of cloth left, all of which were women's. Yang Mingxi said to Old Lady Yang, "Grandma, I've also prepared portions for my three aunts who are getting married, and for my four sisters who are getting married. I've taken a few extra bolts in case someone doesn't like something and can exchange them. Grandma, you can help the three aunts choose. Second aunt, you can help cousin Zhu choose. Third aunt, you can help cousin Ying and cousin Shu choose." Then she turned to look at Wu and said with a smile, "Mother, can you choose the eldest sister's first, or can she choose it herself when she gets home tomorrow?"

Wu smiled and hit Yang Mingxi, saying, "When she comes back tomorrow, she can choose for herself. She will definitely have a lot to talk to you about, so I won't meddle in your business."

Maybe everyone was giving in or what, but the remaining six pieces of cloth were all good colors and patterns, suitable for young girls. Yang Mingxi was about to collect the cloth when her three brothers came forward and helped to pick up the remaining cloth. Several cousins standing nearby also stepped forward, but they were not as fast as her three brothers, which warmed Yang Mingxi's heart.

At this time, Old Lady Yang spoke again: "You have accepted Xi girl's kindness, but you should also think about it. She is just a junior, but she can do this. I don't know how much of the dowry her master gave her is left. You elders should be aware of this. As young people, you should follow Xi girl's example. Only in this way will the old Yang family get better and better! Go back and rest. There will be a lot of things to do tomorrow. Get up early and follow your father's arrangements. Don't be sneaky. Whoever ruins things will be on my bench!" Then she looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Xi girl is tired. Go and rest quickly. You haven't had a good rest since you came back."

Yang Mingxi stepped forward, took Old Lady Yang's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm not tired, Grandma. You and Grandpa are the ones who are tired. You have to consider the overall situation, unlike me, who only does what I want to do. The braised food will be ready to eat soon. Do you want to try it?"

Old Mrs. Yang looked at Yang Mingxi, smiled, patted her hands and said, "Good girl!" Then she turned to look at Old Man Yang.

Old man Yang said, "Go wash your hands. You just finished your meal and can't eat much. The eldest brother's wife will cut some and bring it out in a basin. Everyone take a piece to try, then go and have a rest!" He looked at the crowd again and said, "Third brother, give me that piece of cloth of yours! If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Go to the barn and see if there is any grass for the cows that Xier brought back and the sheep that Ahu and the others brought back. Don't eat such delicious braised food!"

Yang Lao San hummed softly, placed the cloth in front of Old Man Yang, and turned to take care of the animals. He had been happy for nothing, thinking that everyone had eaten such delicious fish tonight (Yang Lao San could see that), and they must be full. The braised food smelled so good, they would definitely not be able to finish it, so he could eat more. He didn't expect that his father's punishment was not over yet, and he didn't let him eat again. If he had known that she was his niece who had been away from home since she was a child, he would never have killed her. He only asked for a hundred more copper coins, but the result...

Not to mention how sad and regretful Yang Lao San was, in the front yard, Yang Mingxi directed her aunt Li to bring out a whole pot of braised food! Everyone took a piece, and after eating, they all looked into the pot. Oh, it was so delicious that they sucked their fingers several times!

Old man Yang said, "This is also a hard dish. Tomorrow's banquet will not be embarrassing. Let's take a rest!" After that, he turned and went back to the main room.

Yang Mingxi returned to the fifth room. She had thought that her parents would definitely ask about her third uncle, but she didn't expect them to ask anything. They just told Yang Mingxi that they had prepared a separate room for her.

There were only six rooms in the fifth house, so it wasn't big enough to begin with. It must have been because I didn't sleep properly last night, so my second sister and mother talked it over, and they allocated me a room. Before I came back, my parents slept with my seventh brother, and the six sons shared a room: my eldest brother slept with my fourth brother, my second brother with my fifth brother, my third brother with my sixth brother, and my second sister with my fourth sister. Now, my parents sleep with my sixth and seventh brothers, one two years old and the other a baby. They're both still young enough not to be a problem. Now my fifth brother has been moved to my eldest brother's room, and my third and second brothers are sleeping. The room previously used by my third and sixth brothers has been vacated and given to Yang Mingxi. This room is at the back, so it's quieter. Next to it, my second daughter and fourth daughter sleep, so they won't be scared, and Yang Mingxi can rest well.

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi felt embarrassed and said she didn't need it, but everyone in Room 5 agreed to this arrangement and had already taken care of it. Yang Mingmo had already made Yang Mingxi's bed, replaced it with new sheets and quilt covers, and placed a new set of clothes, a new pair of shoes, and two pairs of socks at the head of the bed.

Yang Mingxi stepped forward and leaned into Wu's arms. She wiped her tears, shrank her nose, and murmured, "Thank you, mother, for preparing so much for me."

Mrs. Wu patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Why thank me? You're my child. I've prepared everything for you. The sheets and quilt covers were ready long ago, but I didn't know when you'd be back, so I didn't sew them up. I washed and dried them today, and finally sewed them up for you! My clothes were too small before, and I didn't expect you to grow so tall. You're probably the tallest girl in the Yang family, so I didn't have the right clothes or shoes. Last night I rushed out a set of clothes, and your second sister rushed out a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks. Hurry and wash and change them. Put the dirty clothes on the stone in front of your door. After your second sister's business, you can wash them!"

Yang Mingxi smiled and nodded, then she took her second sister's hand tightly, hugged her tightly, and whispered a thank you. Yang Mingmo hugged Yang Mingxi back, smiling gently, "Last night I joked that this was a bargain for fourth sister. Because we knew you would definitely come back before you turned 15, mother and I specially prepared clothes, shoes, and socks for you, four sets of each. Unfortunately, who would have thought you would grow so tall that these clothes would not fit you, so we had to give them all to fourth sister."

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that even when she was not at home, her family was always thinking about her. This feeling was really wonderful. It was a pity that her original body was gone and she could no longer feel it. She didn't know if she was living well in the world she went to.

As the night deepened, everyone washed up and went to bed. However, Yang Mingxi tossed and turned in her bed, unable to fall asleep. She was extremely excited, and her thoughts flooded her mind like a tide.
