Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Plowing The Land
Noticing that Duan Yixin was not following him, Chi Xiyou turned around and asked, “Xin Xin, what are you doing standing there?”

Duan Yixin came to her senses and said, “It’s nothing. I just realized how big this land is.”

Hearing what she said, Chi Xiyou chuckled and said, “No wonder you dare to buy so much land at once. It turns out you don’t know how big twenty acres of land is.”

Hearing Chi Xiyou’s teasing words, Duan Yixin just smiled. After walking for a few more minutes, the two of them finally saw Chi Junheng and the workers eating in the distance.

Seeing Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin walking over, Chi Junheng put down his bowl on the ground and walked up to them. Duan Yixin saw him and smiled, “Uncle Chi, I heard you are looking for me.”

Chi Junheng nodded and said, “Yes. I plan to start plowing today, but I’m not sure whether the plan you gave me is correct or not, so I asked Dalang to go and ask you.”

Duan Yixin looked at Chi Junheng’s frowning face and said, “I did give the correct design. Uncle Chi, this land will be used to plant new seeds given to me by the government. Since the seeds are different from ordinary grain seeds, I need to try different growing methods.”

Looking at the confused looks on Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou’s faces, Duan Yixin explained, “I read in an ancient text about this seed. It said that there must be enough space between each plant so that they can grow normally and get the maximum harvest. It might seem like I am wasting land now. But trust me, the new seeds need at least that much space to grow healthily.”

Seeing her confident expression, Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou looked at each other. Knowing that Grandpa Duan loved collecting ancient books, they believed that Duan Yixin might read about the new seeds from one of those books.

After being silent for a moment, Chi Junheng said, “All right. I will do as you ask.”

Duan Yixin nodded and asked, “Uncle Chi, how long will it take to plow the twenty acres of land?”

Chi Junheng said, “It can be completed before sunset today.”

Hearing his answer, Duan Yixin’s eyes lit up and asked again, “Then we can start planting tomorrow?”

Chi Junheng nodded as an answer. He paused for a second before asking, “Xin Xin, will you plant the land by yourself?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “No. I will hire workers to do the job and take care of the farm because I have more important things to do, such as collecting medicinal herbs and making medicine for sale.”

Hearing her answer, Chi Junheng nodded and said, “Your decision is right. Since your grandfather wants you to become a physician, you should study more medicine instead of becoming a farmer.”

After speaking, he turned to look at Chi Xiyou and said sternly, “Learn from Xin Xin and concentrate on practicing martial arts. Don’t always think about buying land.”

Chi Xiyou was helpless when his father scolded him in front of Duan Yixin. He looked at her and could only shrug and smile helplessly. Seeing his helpless look, Duan Yixin chuckled.

After receiving Duan Yixin’s confirmation, Chi Junheng finished his breakfast and started the plowing project. Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou stayed and watched the workers plowing the soil for a while before leaving. With Chi Junheng supervising the workers, she knew that nobody would dare to make trouble.

After leaving the farmland, Chi Xiyou sent Duan Yixin home. When the two of them arrived not far from her house, they saw several women in red clothes waiting in front of her house. Looking at their festive costumes and heavy makeup, Duan Yixin thought of the fat woman who had come to visit her with Duan Sida before.

She frowned slightly and asked, “Young Master Chi, are those people matchmakers?”

Although Chi Xiyou had never had any contact with any matchmakers, he knew that the women waiting in front of Duan Yixin’s house were all matchmakers. He nodded and said, “Yes. Xin Xin, do you know who sent them?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and said, “I don’t know. After breaking off the marriage engagement with Tang Zizheng, the only unmarried man I came into contact with was you and Shopkeeper Tan from Chang Shou Pharmacy.”

‘Oh, and Liushiliu and his brothers. But it was impossible for Liushiliu or his brothers to send a matchmaker to visit me.’ She added in her heart.

After getting the answer, Chi Xiyou suddenly remembered the rumors about Duan Yixin that were circulating in Yunshan village and the neighboring villages. He glanced at his childhood friend and said, “Xin Xin, it seems that in the future, those matchmakers will crush the threshold of your home.”

Sensing the teasing in his voice, Duan Yixin turned to look at him and asked, “What do you mean?”

Chi Xiyou raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “You don’t know?”

Duan Yixin tilted her head slightly in confusion and asked, “Is there anything important that I need to know?”

Looking at her curious expression, Chi Xiyou fell into silence while thinking, ‘I don’t know what she does every day. She doesn’t even know the rumors about herself that have been circulating these days.’

As the two looked at each other with different expressions on their faces, one of the matchmakers saw them. When the matchmaker saw Chi Xiyou standing next to Duan Yixin, her smile froze.

The matchmaker looked at Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou back and forth a few more times before complaining in her heart, ‘Why did nobody tell me that this Miss Duan has a close relationship with a young man? It seems that today’s money is not easy to make.’

After complaining for a while in her heart, the matchmaker smiled and walked up to Chi Xiyou and Duan Yixin.
