Chapter 1806: Mixing Time
s difficult for our people to find any clues. The three nearby villages, with a population of over 200 people, were completely slaughtered. Truly ruthless and cruel!"Wang Ling picked up the thread and...Yang Ruqing stroked Dabai's little face and then turned to the table.
At this time, the table was a complete mess.
Various exquisite and pretty boxes of treats were originally filled with melon seeds, peanuts, chickpeas, peas, candied fruits, rice cakes, and other snacks.
Now, things like melon seeds, almost half of them are no longer in the box, they've all been moved to the table by Xiao Hei.
Little Hei stood on a stool, half his body leaning over the table. A pair of chubby little hands were picking at melon seeds and peanuts on the table, occasionally stuffing them into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, the shell and meat along with saliva were all spat out, making the table disgustingly messy.
Yang Huamei stood aside, holding up one hand to shield Xiaoh Hei, afraid he would fall, and with the other hand she clutched the melon seeds that Xiaoh Hei had knocked onto the table, clicking them.
"Little Black is too bad, he just spoils what he can't eat. He does the same at home, hitting and scolding without fear, I have no way to deal with him."
Yang Huamei nonchalantly cracked sunflower seeds as she said,
Yang Ruqing walked over and smiled, "Children are like that, aren't they As long as he behaves himself and doesn't cry, it's just a few handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts. This isn't someone else's house."
Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Yang Huamei smiled.

> The family members of Lao Wang on the side were also very happy.
Yang Ruqing picked up the melon seed box on the table and passed it to Guan's mother, as well as Wang Hongquan and Wang Chuanzi.
"Uncle Zhuan, you guys don't just sit there, why not shell some melon seeds and pass the time!"
Wang Shuanzi and others politely reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds and cracked them.
Then, The woman asked Yang Ruohing: "Where is the baby"
Yang Ruqing turned her head and glanced back, "Earlier, the two aunts-in-law entered the courtyard together. They're probably watching Xiao An and the others play outside!"
The elder sister nodded and sat there munching on melon seeds and drinking tea.
Yang Huazhong accompanied Lao Yangtou and Wang Hongquan as they smoked dry tobacco and chatted.
Yang Ruqing walked around the main hall, refilling the teacups of these elders, and returned to Yang Huamei's side.
"The new year's outfit Dabai is wearing looks brand new. Why is Xiaohui still wearing his old clothes from before the new year" Yang Ruqing asked.
Yang Huamei glanced at Xiaohei and smiled.
“Both of them wore completely new clothes, the meatballs were just served when they sat down for dinner.”

"As I turned my back, Xiao Hei's hand reached in and knocked it over. The soup splashed all over my chest."

“Ah” Yang Ruqing smiled happily.
"Then what Wouldn't that make you cry" she asked.
Yang Huamei shook her head and patted Xiao Hei's buttocks: "This little rascal, tough as nails! He didn't even cry after doing something wrong. It's just a pity that his clothes are ruined beyond repair. I had to find an old one for him to make do with."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, so that's how it was.
On the side, Tan was scolding Yang Huamei: “I’ve reminded you several times before, to make two extra sets of new clothes for the twins, just in case of this.”
During the New Year, it's fine for adults to wear old clothes. But children must wear new clothes to bring good luck! You just won't listen!
Hearing Tan's reprimand, Yang Huamei laughed and said: "This year is just like that. Just making a new set of clothes shows the meaning. If you make too many, they will grow taller this season, and when it gets cold again, the clothes will be small. It's a waste to make too many!"
Tan shook her head, "If the grown-ups ate a few less bites, they'd have enough money to buy clothes. Why would they make the children suffer during this festive season It's just not right."
Yang Huamei smiled and said to Yang Ruohong, "I can't say anything. You say it."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Yang Ruqing then smiled and said to Madam Tan, "Mother, your elder sister is the biological mother of the twins. She wouldn't bear to wrong her own children, so you needn't say any more."
Tan said: “I’m looking at this as the Lunar New Year, it only comes once a year…”
Yang Ruqing smiled again, "Now things are a bit better for our families, but there are many other families in our village who are struggling."
> During the New Year, those families' children didn't even have a single new piece of clothing.
"Even if we were at home, three or four years ago, during the New Year, weren't we all wearing old clothes" Yang Ruoqing said.
Tan said, "Back then, our Yang family wasn't divided. You girls are all just little maidservants. Two new outfits definitely have to be given to the grandsons first!"

Yang Ruqing said, "But in my memory, during those years of Da'an and Xiao'an, everyone wore patched clothes for the New Year. It was great to have a new pair of shoes."
Tan was speechless after Yang Ruoqing's words.
The old woman paused for a moment, then continued: “Back then, our family wasn’t wealthy. We couldn’t even afford enough to eat, so we didn’t worry about those things!”
Yang Ruqing said: "So, people are living day by day, there is no choice."
“So when you're short on money, tighten your belt and make do. Even when you have a little more to spend, be careful not to splurge too much. It’s always good to save for a rainy day.”
“So, it makes sense that Auntie made each pair of twins a new outfit for the New Year. It's reasonable and not extravagant, right”
This part is empty.
Tan was speechless.
“You, you little shrew! You’re as sharp-tongued as a viper. All the things your parents never said in their lifetime, you’ve already uttered them all. I can't even argue with you!” Mrs. Tan exclaimed.
>
The old woman turned her head and then started playing with Dabai.
The old woman conceded in this debate.
>
Yang Ruqing has expressed everything she wanted to say. Continuing this topic would make her seem unreasonable.
"Auntie, please take good care of this little Hei. I'm going to the kitchen to help Mother cook!" Yang Ruqing said.
Yang Huamei nodded: "Tell San Sao not to cook too many dishes. We're not outsiders, just make a few simple dishes for the men to drink with. Don't tire yourself out."
Yang Ruqing smiled happily: "During the Lunar New Year, it's good to be a little tired and happy. Aunt, please sit down first, I'll come over in a bit."
The fragrance dominates the entire backyard.
Even though Yang Ruqing had just eaten breakfast, the moment she stepped into the backyard, her craving was instantly awakened.
"Oh my goodness, I gain ten pounds every holiday season! I just put down my chopsticks and I'm hungry again. What should I do"
Yang Ruqing said, smiling as she entered the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Sun and Yang Ruolan were bustling about, one stirring a pot on the stovetop and the other tending to a pot below.
Hearing Yang Ruqing's playful remark, Mrs. Sun smiled amidst her busy schedule and said, "Isn't that how it is in the first month We eat, play, play, eat, get tired after eating and playing, then go to sleep, and wake up to continue eating."
"Oh my god, it's just like a pig!" Yang Ruqing exclaimed.
>
Mrs. Sun glared at her, "What nonsense!"
Yang Ruolan also giggled: "Pigs are good stuff, you know. In our village households, pigs are treasures, year treasures."
Yang Ruqing said, “That’s right, pigs are auspicious. They bring good luck and celebrate joy.”

Mother and daughter both smiled, Yang Ruqing fetched a nearby apron and tied it around her waist, "Mom, what are we cooking next I'll help you!"e, eight liang per person. Everyone who received the silver was overjoyed.“Just happened to run out of rice at home, these eight ounces of silver can be taken to the Wa market to buy eight dou of rice...
