I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi told her second brother, Yang Mingyang, to ask around in the village, but he hadn't heard anything about the wild boar encounter today, so he let it go for now! My second sister is getting married tomorrow, and Old Man Wu and his group of 14 will definitely have to stay at Old Yang's for one night. All of Old Yang's daughters-in-law and their families are coming to today's banquet, and they all have to stay. Only Old Yang's eldest brother-in-law is coming from the family of his unmarried wife, so it's easy to arrange for him. However, he lives with Old Lady Yang, and there's no room for the fifth room to accommodate Old Lady Yang's three married daughters. It's difficult for the other rooms to accommodate their own families, let alone help arrange for the Wu family.

Yang Mingxi thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a good solution, so she went to find Mrs. Wu. In the fifth branch of her family, she could only arrange for her eldest sister's family to come, but there were 14 people in her grandmother's family. What should she do? Yang Mingxi went to Mrs. Wu and told her about this. Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xi'er, mother has already arranged it. I'm just sorry, Xi'er, I have to sleep with your fourth sister tonight." After hearing this, Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Mother, it's not a pity at all. It's just that I'm used to sleeping alone, and my sleeping posture is not good. I just hope I don't kick my fourth sister. What are your arrangements, mother?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Your eldest sister and the child will sleep with your second sister, and you and Qian'er will sleep. There's no need to discuss this. Your room is small and you can't sleep on the floor, so this is the arrangement. We'll sleep on the floor in our room, and let your grandmother, your eldest aunt, and your second aunt sleep on the bed. Our bed is big, and we can sleep three people if we squeeze in. We'll spread a thick straw mat on the floor and put a sheet on it. Your third aunt, your youngest aunt, and I will sleep with your two younger brothers. We'll sleep on the floor in the main room, and your father will sleep with his four uncles. In your eldest brother's room, your grandfather will sleep on the bed, and your two cousins can sleep however they want, but they'll also sleep on the floor. The same goes for your second and third brothers. Let your eldest brother-in-law sleep on the bed, and your two cousins will live over there."

After hearing this, Yang Mingxi was satisfied with the bed on the floor. She had just returned and didn’t know what the living conditions of the old Yang family were like. But seeing that they were all thatched houses, she knew they were not very wealthy. The night she slept with her second sister, she really didn’t notice what was on the bed. It was just a half-new quilt, and she didn’t remember anything else. Last night, she slept alone, with a new mattress and a new quilt. She really didn’t know what was in the other rooms. But even if you don’t need a mattress, you still need a quilt, right? Yang Mingxi found that in Changshan Village where she was now, although it was already the twelfth lunar month, winter, the temperature was really not low, still about 17 or 18 degrees Celsius, but it was still a little cold in the morning and at night. So, you must cover yourself with a quilt when you sleep at night, right? Does our family have so many quilts? Yang Mingxi thought about it and asked, "Mom, then our family doesn’t have so many quilts?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I borrowed two large quilts from your village chief, Grandma Zhang's family, and also borrowed two quilts from your Aunt Juhua's family in the village. That's about enough."

Yang Mingxi calculated that she would have to make four bunks on the floor and borrow four quilts. One quilt for each place, four or five people per quilt? That wouldn't work. Suddenly, she thought of her own and her master's quilts. "Mom, those quilts aren't enough. Let's use the ones I brought back. We'll each have two, mine and her master's."

Wu nodded and said, "That's totally fine. You can take out yours, but you won't need them now. But what about your master's? What if he comes back?"

Yang Mingxi took Wu's arm and said with a smile, "It's okay, just wash it after use. By the way, mother, I'll take Sixth Brother with me. It's too crowded here, it's hard to sleep."

Mrs. Wu nodded. Looking at her sensible third daughter, she didn't know who would marry her in the future. She must find a good husband for Xi.

In this way, more than a hundred people slept in the yard of the old Yang family tonight. It was really crowded, but also very happy.

The next morning, when Yang Mingxi woke up, she was alone in bed again. It was already dawn. She was so scared that she jumped up, put on her clothes, and went to Yang Mingmo's room next door.

Yang Mingmo was putting on makeup. When she saw Yang Mingxi come in, she wanted to say hello, but was stopped by the matchmaker. Yang Mingxi looked at the miserable Yang Mingmo, shrugged, and stood aside. The village where Yang Mingmo married was called Lijiaying. She married a nephew from her aunt's family, the Li family. It was on the other side of the river in Qingshui County, right on the slope from Qingshui County to Changshan Village. Turn left and not far in. It was about five miles away from the village where Yang Mingyun married. The two villages were in opposite directions of the county, about seven miles away from the county. The shortcut from Changshan Village to the county was through Lijiaying.

After Yang Mingmo finished putting on her makeup, the matchmaker left. Yang Mingxi turned around and brought a bowl of water for Yang Mingmo to drink. She didn't have much interstellar spring water to use right now. Ever since she came back and learned that Yang Mingmo was getting married, she had given her all the water she had diverted to drink before bed. Including what she was drinking now, it had been four days. Although she couldn't see any obvious changes, Yang Mingxi knew it was definitely working. On the way back, Master drank the water she had diverted and hadn't gotten sick or anything. He was in good spirits. The amount he had now was more than double what he had before, so the effect would definitely be even better!

Yang Mingxi saw her second sister drink the water, and then said, "Second sister, you are already fair-skinned, and this makeup is too heavy. I'll put on a new one for you, I guarantee that my second brother-in-law will be stunned."

Yang Mingmo reached out and nodded at her, saying, "You're so shameless calling me your second brother-in-law!" Then she nodded. Yang Mingxi washed off her heavy makeup, lightly powdered her face, and focused on her nose, eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip liner with lip balm. Yang Mingmo's delicate face immediately gained definition, and with the wedding dress as a backdrop, she looked truly beautiful.

At that moment, the second brother-in-law, Li Lin, had already arrived at the Yang family's courtyard with the sedan chair carrying the bride! They were going to take the bride home for lunch. Yang Minghu walked in and was about to carry his second sister on his back. He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Mo'er, you look so beautiful today. Li Lin is here. I'll carry you out." Then he carried Yang Mingmo out the door.

At the entrance to the fifth room, Li Lin was already waiting, ready to carry his bride to the sedan chair. There's a saying here that brothers who are reluctant to see their sisters marry will carry them to the courtyard gate. The farther they carry, the more valued they are by their parents, but they can't leave the courtyard gate. The farther the groom carries the bride, the more he values her, but they can't go inside the house to pick her up. So, Yang Minghu carried Yang Mingmo out of the fifth room, and Li Lin stepped forward, half-carrying Yang Mingmo from behind. With one carrying her from the front and the other half-carrying her from behind, they awkwardly arrived at the courtyard gate, their voices echoing continuously, "What a beautiful new bride!"

When Li Lin saw his brother-in-law carrying Yang Mingmo out from the door, he was stunned. Is this really his bride? She is so beautiful! Li Lin was so excited that he couldn't walk. He stepped on his brother-in-law one foot, then another. The three of them awkwardly came to the gate of the old Yang family. Li Lin hugged Yang Mingmo and wanted to carry her into the sedan chair. Yang Minghu did not let go. Li Lin quickly said: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will treat Momo well for the rest of my life." Yang Mingmo also whispered: "Don't worry, brother, I will live a good life." Then Yang Minghu let go, and Yang Mingmo was carried into the sedan chair by Li Lin.

In the yard, Yang Mingyang and Yang Mingjiang were greeting the people brought by Li Lin to carry the dowry and the people from the Yang family who were going to send the bride off. They were all brothers of the bride's generation. With the sound of firecrackers, a large group of people followed the wedding sedan out.

Yang Mingxi looked at the departing crowd and suddenly remembered the scene of her wedding. Then she missed her family very much and wondered if they were all right. Turning around, she saw Mrs. Wu with tears streaming down her face and Old Lady Wu looking at her with a smile. She quickly calmed down and went over to help Old Lady Wu and Mrs. Wu back to their room.
