I have been farming since I crossed over.

Wu and Yang Mingxi stood aside, their eyes fixed on the egg and lean meat porridge made by Mrs. Lin. They saw that the porridge was cooked just right, with plump rice grains, thick soup, and a fragrant aroma.

The two looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Mrs. Wu said, "Mrs. Lin's cooking skills are really good. This egg and lean meat porridge looks delicious."

Yang Mingxi also agreed: "Yes, this porridge is delicious. I hope Big Sister can eat it."

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, she instructed Mrs. Lin, "Then please take this porridge to my elder sister and see if she can eat some."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin quickly responded, "Okay, I'll send it to the young lady right away."

As she spoke, she carefully picked up the bowl of steaming egg and lean meat porridge and walked towards Yang Mingyun's room.

Mrs. Wu watched Mrs. Lin walk away, then turned to Gu Lao San and said, "Lao San, it's getting dark soon, and there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with at home."

Gu Laosan nodded in understanding and said, "Mom, you're right. There are indeed a lot of things to do at home. You and Xi'er should go back first. I'll take care of Yun'er."

Mrs. Wu felt a little relieved and then reminded her, "Well, you should pay more attention to Mrs. Lin and ask her to take good care of Yan'er.

Ying'er's body has lost too much weight and needs to be taken care of."

Gu Laosan quickly responded, "Don't worry, mother. I know what to do. With Mrs. Lin here, I can feel more at ease."

Mrs. Wu thought about it and felt that what Old Third Gu said made sense, so she instructed again, "Well, that's good. You should communicate more with Mrs. Lin and tell her if you need anything. You must make sure that Yun'er gets better as soon as possible."

Gu Laosan assured: "Mom, I remember, I will definitely take good care of Yun'er."

Wu nodded in satisfaction, then turned and called out, "Li Lin, let's go home."

When Li Lin heard Wu's cry, he hurried over and supported Wu to leave together.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi raised her head and looked at the sky. At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark and night was about to fall.

After a moment's thought, she said to Li Lin, "Brother-in-law, it's getting late. How about this? We'll take you to the river, and then you can walk back by yourself. I'll drive Mother home."

After hearing what Yang Mingxi said, Li Lin subconsciously rubbed his hands, seeming a little embarrassed.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let me take you back. After all, my naked car is still at your house."

When Yang Mingxi heard what he said, she suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about this matter.

She patted her head lightly and said with a smile, "Oh, look at my memory!

"Yes, okay then, brother-in-law, let's go together. Let's leave early before it gets dark and get home early so that my sister won't worry at home."

Li Lin nodded, walked to the naked cart, skillfully untied the reins, and then climbed onto the shaft.

Yang Mingxi supported Wu and got into the car carefully.

Li Lin waved the whip in his hand and drove the naked car forward slowly.

The sound of rolling wheels echoed on the quiet country road, accompanied by the conversations of Li Lin, Wu and Yang Mingxi, all the way to Changshan Village.

……

Yang Mingxi's future days were like a finely woven tapestry, each day filled with the affairs of workshops, commercial streets and various farms.

Before dawn, when most people in the city were still asleep, Yang Mingxi had already gotten up. After a simple wash, he began to check the workshop's account book from the previous day in the faint morning light.

The densely packed tiny characters on the account book recorded the incoming and outgoing fabrics, the wages of the craftsmen, and various expenses and incomes. In her eyes, each number was like a beating note, playing the melody of life.

In the workshop, the clicking sounds of various operations come one after another, as if it is a never-ending song of labor.

Yang Mingxi shuttled between various functional rooms, carefully checking every process and finished product.

She would carefully check the quality and packaging of each bottle of cosmetics and toiletries, feeling the smooth and delicate touch from her fingertips. Occasionally, if she found a flaw, she would immediately call the workers, patiently point out the problem, and guide them on how to improve it.

The workers were in awe and admired their young but extremely demanding boss. Under her supervision, everyone worked with full concentration, striving to do their best at their job.

The shops in the commercial street are also Yang Mingxi's focus.

She makes a round every ten days to check whether the food is fresh and whether the staff are welcoming and attentive to customers.

If she encounters a noisy customer, she always steps forward in person, listens patiently, and solves the problem with a sincere attitude.

She always tells her workers that customer satisfaction is the foundation of long-term business, so she treats every customer like a close friend and manages this trust with care.

The beauty salon's success had completely exceeded Yang Mingxi's expectations. Its sales were almost as much as the combined sales of all the snack shops on the shopping street. This made Yang Mingxi even more eager to open more branches.

The affairs of each Zhuangzi are equally complicated.

Yang Laosan often rode a fast horse and rushed between various farms to check the harvest of farmland and the breeding of livestock, and then report the specific situation to Yang Mingxi.

During the busy harvest season, Yang Mingxi would work in the fields with the farmhands in her family, feeling the fragrance of the soil and the salty taste of sweat.

She cares about the lives of every farmer, and is always the first to lend a helping hand when a family is in trouble.

These farmers were also very grateful to Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang, and felt that they had made the right decision by following Lu Jintang and the Lu family.

With Lu Jincong's management, each farm showed a prosperous and peaceful scene. The farmers were grateful to the Lu family and worked together to manage the Lu family's industry.

Food and fodder were continuously transported to Lu Jintang's camp.

The days passed quietly in such busyness, and in the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Qingshui County was gradually shrouded in the atmosphere of the New Year.

The streets and alleys are hung with red lanterns, the shops are filled with all kinds of New Year goods, and children are laughing and playing on the streets, holding sugar figures in their hands, with innocent smiles on their faces.

In the midst of her busy schedule, Yang Mingxi also felt the strong New Year atmosphere, and a sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.

The second team has been on the march for nearly three months. Although news comes back occasionally, the overall situation is not very satisfactory.

With the New Year drawing to a close, they should all be returning for their year-end reports! As for Third Sister, she received a steady flow of money, food, and medicinal herbs, but she was never seen again.

In the capital city, the biting cold wind blows in, bringing with it the unique bustle and hustle and bustle of the New Year.

The shops along the street were decorated with lights and large red lanterns hung high. The colorful silks and satin fabrics from the silk shops and the novelty items from the grocery stores were all made more attractive by the festive decorations. However, amidst this prosperous scene, the busiest place was undoubtedly Lu Jinge's mansion.

In the spacious main hall, a warm fire crackled, dispelling the winter chill.

Lu Jinge was wearing a plain brocade robe, with a calm expression on his face. He sat upright on the main seat, his eyes sweeping calmly over everyone in the hall.

Beside her, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were neatly placed, and the housekeeper Tang Fu was waiting by her side, ready to take notes at any time.

Lu Jinge said, "Lu Ming's family, take these account books and go to Qingshui County in Xinyun Prefecture!"
