Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Collecting Soil
After hearing what Duan Yixin said, Chi Xiyou nodded, “Since that is the case, then we should collect the soil and dry it. This may take time, but there are many containers available. We can collect wet soil, let it dry naturally, and reuse it when it is dry enough.”

While Duan Yixin was thinking, Chi Xinru raised her hand and said, “I can’t help with the planting, but I can help collect the soil.”

Since Duan Yixin designed and built the hydroponic system, Chi Xiyou looked at her and asked her opinion, “Xin Xin, what do you think?”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Elder Brother Xiyou’s idea is very good. We can do as he says.”

Hearing her words, Chi Xinru stood up and smiled, “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s collect soil. The sooner we start, the sooner we can eat those delicious vegetables and fruits!”

Mother Chi watched her daughter put on her raincoat excitedly and reminded her, “Be careful when you go out and come back as soon as possible.”

Chi Xinru nodded and said, “Mother, I know. Don’t worry.”

After reassuring her mother, Chi Xinru looked at her elder brother and said, “Elder Brother, let’s go!”

Before Chi Xiyou had time to speak, Chi Xinru had already run out to get the wooden barrel from the third wooden building. Seeing this, Chi Xiyou sighed and said, “Hey, Ru’er, wait for me.”

After the two of them left, Chi Junheng looked at Duan Yixin and said, “Uncle will go help them collect soil. You are not in good health, so just stay here with your aunt.”

Duan Yixin knew her body’s condition and agreed. Even if she goes with them, she can only carry a bucket of soil at most. Rather than risk getting sick and wasting time, it was better for her to wait for them to come back and then mix it with perlite.

With a plan in her mind, Duan Yixin nodded and said, “All right, Uncle Chi. Then I would wait in the third wooden building and prepare the containers.”

Chi Junheng nodded, looked at his wife, and said, “Furen, I’m leaving first.”

Seeing that Madam Chi was about to send him out, Chi Junheng took her hand and said, “It is cold outside, and you are not feeling well. Stay inside and don’t go out.”

Madam Chi nodded and said, “All right. You should also put on some more clothes before leaving.”

Duan Yixin, who was sitting on the side, looked at the couple showing off their affection, with a slight smile on her lips. It is rare to find couples who have been married for many years and still love each other like the two of them.

After Chi Junheng put on another layer of clothes, Madam Chi let him go. Seeing Madam Chi starting to take out the old clothes and mend them, Duan Yixin walked to the bamboo basket and took out the foods that had been put away before.

After she closed the lid of the bamboo basket, Duan Yixin looked at Madam Chi and said, “Aunt Wang, I’m going to prepare the containers.”

Madam Chi raised her eyes to look at her and said, “Mhm, be careful when walking and bring the oil-paper umbrella with you.”

“Yes, Aunt Wang.”

After saying that, Duan Yixin took the oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the third wooden building. Before the others returned, she washed the wooden container with rainwater and set it aside to dry the water.

Twenty minutes later, Chi Xinru came back with two wooden barrels on her shoulders. Duan Yixin watched her petite body carrying two large wooden barrels and marveled at Chi Xinru’s strength.

She touched her chin and thought, ‘In my original world, Xinru would have no problem joining Yu Jingxian’s team based on her strength alone.’

Chi Xinru didn’t know what Duan Yixin was thinking at this time. She came over, put the two large wooden barrels filled with soil into the wooden building, and said, “Xin Xin, let’s fill the other container with soil first, and then I will take these two barrels back to collect more soil.”

Duan Yixin nodded, and the two of them quickly filled other containers with soil. After emptying the two large wooden barrels, Chi Xinru carried them and left with brisk steps.

After Chi Xinru left, Duan Yixin mixed the soil with perlite and set it aside to dry. Since it takes more than ten hours for the soil to dry before planting can begin, Duan Yixin prepared mixed water first.

While Duan Yixin and others were busy working, time passed in the blink of an eye. When all containers were finally filled with mixed soil, the sky was already dark.

Chi Junheng looked at everyone’s tired faces and said, “Let’s wash up and rest early.”

Everyone nodded in agreement when he said that. Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou washed themselves directly under the rain, while Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru collected some rainwater and washed themselves in a separate wooden building.

When they returned to the second wooden building, Madam Chi had already prepared dinner. The family finished dinner quickly and went to bed early. While everyone was sleeping soundly, Liushiliu suddenly woke up and felt a familiar aura approaching at a fast speed.

He grabbed his sword, took the leather bag, and rushed towards the owner of that familiar aura. A few minutes later, Liushiliu landed in front of Xuan Ruiquan. Due to flooding, Xuan Ruiquan and Lan Zhuoyu left their horses at the Chang Shou Pharmacy and rushed to Yunshan Village.

Liushiliu kneeled in front of Xuan Ruiquan, clasped his fists, and said, “This subordinate pay my respects to Master.”

Xuan Ruiquan and Lan Zhuoyu had traveled all the way from Qian Shan County without sleep, and both were exhausted. Seeing Liushiliu coming to greet him, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Mhm, get up.”

Hearing his hoarse voice, Liushiliu stood up and looked at Xuan Ruiquan.
