I have been farming since I crossed over.

After struggling for a while, Kong pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Haha, so you still want to keep this stinky fish? Aren't there a lot of them in the river? No one wants them!"

Yang Mingxi quickly explained, "Fish is delicious when it's cooked! I'll make it for you guys when I get a chance, and I guarantee you'll be left with an unforgettable aftertaste! Besides, several of our cold dishes are made with fish!"

When Kong heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Xi'er, my home is by the sea, there are so many fish over there! Does your workshop buy them?"

Yang Mingxi happily replied, "Of course! Your home is by the sea? That's great! You can ask your family to go fishing and sell it to our workshop! The price is pretty good!"

After hearing this, Kong said happily, "Okay, I'll tell them about it when I get back this time!"

Tang, however, poured cold water on the situation, saying, "It's too far away. By the time it gets to the workshop, it's already dead, and truly stinky fish."

"Yeah, the distance is indeed too far. A fish won't survive long out of water." Kong said helplessly, as if she had lost all interest.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi quickly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, this isn't a big problem. You can have your family come see me. My seventh aunt's family lives by the sea, and we can arrange the transportation together. This plan will definitely work!"

Her tone was full of encouragement and confidence, which made people feel inspired.

After hearing what Yang Mingxi said, Kong's eyes flashed with hope, but she still hesitated and said, "Is this really okay? Will it be too much trouble for you?"

"It's not a problem at all!" Yang Mingxi assured, patting his chest. "We're all relatives, so it's only natural for us to help each other. And this is also a good opportunity for us to do this together."

Kong was finally infected by Yang Mingxi's enthusiasm, smiled, and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family to see how to arrange it."

After looking at the fish pond, the few people felt that there was nothing special, so they turned back from the bridge head of the main road.

When passing by Zheng's house, Zheng's mother was picking vegetables with a little girl at the gate of the yard.

Mother Zheng looked up and saw Yang Mingxi. She immediately greeted her with a smile on her face: "Hey, Miss Yang is back home! Come over and sit down and play with us."

Yang Mingxi smiled and shook her head, politely replying, "No, thank you, Second Sister. I just came here with my cousins for a stroll today. You go ahead and get busy!"

Yang Mingxi was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to pronounce "Second Sister" properly, as she'd always called Mother Zheng "Auntie" before. But once the words came out of her mouth, they flowed so naturally that even she was a little surprised.

Mother Zheng seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to the little girl beside her: "Eldest wife, your youngest aunt is here. Come and meet your youngest aunt."

Yang Mingxi knew that Zheng Huairen’s wife was also from Changshan Village, but she was not very familiar with this person.

The little girl stood up lightly, a sweet smile on her face, and said enthusiastically: "Aunt, please come in and sit for a while. I'll make you a cup of tea."

Yang Mingxi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a polite smile, and politely declined: "Thank you, we still have some things to do. Let's come and play again next time we have the chance."

After saying goodbye to Zheng's mother, Yang Mingxi turned around and took Tang and Kong and walked straight to Yang Laowu's house.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Mrs. Wu busy packing various items. These things were neatly packed into a large backpack, which looked quite heavy.

When Wu saw Yang Mingxi and the others return, a delighted smile immediately appeared on her face. She said happily, "Is everything arranged at home? Then we'll get ready to leave now!"

Yang Mingxi's eyes fell on the backpack full of things, and she felt her eyelids tighten.

She secretly groaned in her heart, thinking that she definitely could not carry such a heavy backpack, let alone walking on the rugged mountain road.

She forced a smile and said to Wu: "Mother, look at all this stuff! How can we possibly carry it? How about I get a wild horse to carry it?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "No need. There's not much in here. Your second aunt and I can carry it. You children just follow us."

Before she finished speaking, Wu quickly picked up the backpack, as if she was full of confidence and anticipation for the journey.

Yang Mingxi looked up at the sky and estimated the time in her mind. It was probably around four o'clock in the afternoon, which was the middle of the afternoon, but the sun was still high in the sky, emitting a scorching light that made people feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but frown, thinking that she still had to walk for more than an hour, which was really a big challenge!

Although she was somewhat reluctant, Yang Mingxi still gritted her teeth and followed.

At the beginning, the climb was relatively smooth, and she could barely keep up with Wu and her second aunt.

However, when we started to go down the mountain, things got a little worse.

Because the mountain road was rugged and steep, Yang Mingxi's calves began to tremble uncontrollably.

With every step she took, she felt as if her legs were being weighed down by a heavy burden, causing them to ache terribly.

Finally, Tang and Kong supported Yang Mingxi on each side, and they slowly followed Wu and Liu down from the top of the mountain.

Yang Mingxi kept encouraging herself in her heart, telling herself not to stop, otherwise she would fall behind. She could only endure the pain and move forward step by step with difficulty.

In this way, Yang Mingxi, supported by Tang and Kong, finally arrived at Old Lady Wu's house at an extremely slow pace.

The moment she stepped into the Wu family yard with difficulty, it seemed as if all the strength in her body was drained away in an instant. She felt like her whole body was falling apart and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Just then, the sound of a baby crying suddenly rang out. Like a flash of lightning piercing the night sky, Yang Mingxi's spirits suddenly perked up. She stared intently at the yard, her eyes wide open. She said suspiciously, "Second Aunt, why doesn't this sound like a baby's cry? Could it be that Third Aunt and the others have given birth too?"

When Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Liu heard the crying, they had already thrown the backpacks on their backs aside like garbage, and then ran towards the direction of the crying child like an arrow.

In the courtyard, Yang Mingxi, Tang, and Kong looked at each other, completely bewildered. They didn't know where to go or what to do.
