Chapter 356: Long Sleeves, Short Arms
retching out before them."It's over, now people from the village can't get out, and those outside can't get in."Yang Huazhong frowned deeply.Old Yang and Yang Ruqing also stood aside, watching all thi...When Yang Ruqing returned to the house, Dayan had already finished writing.
He was holding a piece of paper, squinting with one hand, looking at his masterpiece.
"What did you write Still admiring yourself in solitude Let your older sister have a look!"
Yang Ruoqing walked over with a smile.
Dā'ān turned around and handed the piece of paper in his hand to Yáng Ruòqíng.
"Hey sister, look!"
Yang Ruqing took it and was surprised.
I thought Dayan was practicing writing, but it turns out he was drawing
Speaking of which, the drawing is pretty good.
The nose is like a nose, and the eyes are like eyes.
"One two three four five…"
Yang Ruqing counted, from high to low there were five people.
Holding hands, big and small.
"Well, this looks like a family reunion, doesn't it"
Yang Ruqing asked.
Dayan walked over and pointed at the people in the picture, introducing them to Yang Ruqing.
"This is father, this is mother, this is elder sister, holding my and Xiaonian's hands."
"Is that thing on top of its head a pancake" she asked deliberately.
Dayan shook her head, "It's the sun!"
“Oh...”
Yang Ruqing narrowed her eyes, looking at it with relish.
It seems like my younger brother is very talented at drawing.
Not bad, not bad.
People most fear mediocrity.
In any era, having talents is always a good thing.
"Well, well, did you come up with this yourself Or was someone guiding your hand"
Yang Ruqing then asked again.
Da'an said, "I just thought of it myself."
Well done!
She agreed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Wait for your big sister, when I have time, I'll show you how it's done too!”
"Really"
>
> Da'an's eyes lit up.
"Sister, I draw pictures and don't write. Don't blame me for wasting paper" he asked.
Yang Ruqing snorted.
"There are 360 professions, and each one has its champion. Don't worry, your older sister isn't old-fashioned!"
This is a test.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Duan's eyes lit up immediately: "Sister, you're so kind!"
When preparing lunch, Sun returned with Xiaonan.
Yang Ruqing is in the kitchen washing rice and preparing to cook.
Sun said: "That chicken, I put it in a clay pot to simmer soup. By nightfall, it will be almost ready to eat."
Yang Ruqing nodded, "Father had lunch at the home of Tang YaZi earlier. The simmered chicken soup was just right for him to eat when he came back home in the evening."
Sun shi replied with a good sound and tied an apron around her waist.
"Mother, when you first arrived, was Tángyǎzi's aunt still here"
Yang Ruqing asked.
Sun shook her head: “Gone, said she was going back to cook lunch, a family of craftsmen.”
Yang Ruqing nodded, "It's good that you're going back."
The mother and daughter had cooked a meal, stir-fried some cabbage, and simmered a bowl of egg custard.
Made another bowl of spicy dried tofu.
The four girls ate a full and satisfying lunch.
In the afternoon, the Bao family rode in a cart.
Lao Yang's side had sent Yang Yongqing over to call Sun Shi and Yang Ruoheng to speak.
"Oh What's wrong with your grandma"
Sun, who was just about to feed the pigs, was startled.
Yang Ruqing smiled but said nothing.
A person's prestige and sense of presence are actually accumulated from one thing to another.
What others can't do, you can.
Stem the tide, time and time again.
Over time, your sense of presence will become increasingly strong.
Many things will come to ask for your opinion.
"Mother, you go ahead first. I'll feed the pigs and come find you!"
When Yang Ruqing had finished feeding the three little pigs.
> Lao Yang sent another group of people to urge her.
Yang Ruqing couldn't help but laugh and cry. Old Yang was really flattering himself, wasn't he
After washing her hands, she went straight to the front yard.
Old Yang and his companions all 'moved' to Yang Huazhou's house.
Old Yang, Yang Huainan, the Tan clan, the Jin clan, the Sun clan, Yang Yongjin.
The crowd, standing or sitting, all had gloomy faces.
The atmosphere in the house was also a bit oppressive.
Yang Ruoqing pushed the door open, which broke the oppressive atmosphere a little.
"Just finished feeding the pigs, grandpa urged me so urgently, what's the matter"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
She asked as soon as she entered.
Seeing her come in, Lao Yang took his dry tobacco pipe out of his mouth.
>
"Qing'er, you came just in time. There's something I want to hear your thoughts on!"
>
"What's up" Yang Ruqing asked.
Upon arriving at Sun's side, he sat down next to the stool beside her.
Lao Yang addressed Tan Shi and said, "Qing'er has arrived, everyone is here. Tell us what's going on!"
Tan furrowed her brows and glanced at Yang Huazhou sitting on the bed.
“I thought Bao's family was so kind to come visit!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“It’s like a weasel greeting chickens in the new year—nothing good can come of it!” said Madam Tan.
"Cut the crap, get to the point!" Old Yang said.
Then Tan continued, "Bao Suyun's sister-in-law is testing me!"
>
“Hearing that tone, the dowry and three festivals combined, our family can't be less than four taels of silver!”
What would happen if it were less than four taels of silver
Yang Yongjin is a hot-tempered person.
"Humph, what else can happen Call off the engagement, that's what!" Tan said with a huff.
"How can this be" Yang Yongjin was anxious.
>
"We've passed the threshold, and in half a month it will be the wedding day!" he said.
Tan hummed, her face a mask of displeasure.
Yang Ruqing listened silently.
Because I had overheard a conversation between Bao Suyun and Fifth Uncle by chance before.
As for the bottom line of Bao's dowry, she wasn't too surprised.
I was just thinking, Old Yang called me over in such a hurry.
Could it be that you want to borrow money from their three houses
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whatever comes to mind, it just happens.
As soon as I turned the corner, Lao Yang on the opposite side took over.
“Elder Third’s daughter-in-law, Qing’er, I asked you all here today to hear your thoughts on this!”
Lao Yang's face was full of sincerity.
This statement surprised Sun, who lacked awareness of self-defense.
She hurriedly stood up from her seat, "Father, I'm just a woman, I don't understand these things. You and mother should make the decision!"
Old Yang's gaze fell directly on Yang Ruqing, who was standing beside Sun.
"Qinger, you and your fifth uncle have a deep relationship. What do you think about this"
He asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.
“I have a close relationship with my fifth uncle, that's for sure.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“But this is a marriage arranged for our elders, and I’m just a young girl who hasn’t even come of age. Grandpa asking me these questions is like beating about the bush!” she said.
"You're always so clever and have great ideas, Qingya!"
Old Yang showered him with praise.
"Many times when our Yang family encountered difficulties, it was you who came up with plans and strategies."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This time, you can't just stand by and watch either! he said.
Yang Ruqing shook her head, “I’m not a god, I don’t want to stand by and watch, but my arms are too short!”
"Maybe grandma and grandpa should worry about this more!"
Hearing Yang Ruqing and Lao Yang toss this topic back and forth like a ball.
Tan was getting impatient.
"My dear, your grandfather must be short on cash. Couldn't come up with four taels of silver, and wants to borrow some from our three households."
"I didn't go tell your parents, but came straight to you, Fatty."
We know that you are the head of the third house, and all the money is in your hands.
"Both your grandpa and I are putting our faces on the line to ask you this, don't refuse!"
Tan spoke in a flurry of incoherent words.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun was taken aback.
He immediately looked at Yang Ruqing.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!e, Mrs. Sun handed over another handkerchief.Chen'er smiled again and took it.Along the way, cut watermelon, shelled melon seeds, and candied fruit were passed out from the car window."My dear grandso...
