Chapter 4374: Little Golden Man

the daughter's house in the neighboring village.I reckon it's about time I headed back to fetch my family's carriage for Uncle Fu."Uncle Fu went to his place to get the first-aid kit, Mother. How is...When Yang Ruqing turned to leave, Sun shi called out to her.

“Oh, almost forgot to tell you, your Aunt Four came by earlier gossiping. This time it's about the old house.” Sun said.

Yang Ruqing turned around and asked, "When I came over earlier, Xiaoduo told me that my father was called to the old house by my grandfather to discuss something. Is it also related to the gossip that Aunt Four has been spreading"

Sun nodded, "Come in."

A woman led Yang Ruqing into the kitchen. Inside, Xiaohua was frying fish, her movements nimble and light, clearly a honed culinary skill.

Yang Ruqing and Liu Shi and the others were chatting outside earlier, and Xiaohua heard everything they said.

When Yang Ruqing came in, she said, "Sister, it's good that you drove Aunt Four away. If she had stayed any longer, she would definitely have come to our house for dinner again. Since the Lunar New Year, every time she comes over, she borrows money from our mother to gossip, and she has already eaten eight meals here."

Yang Ruqing's eyes widened in surprise.

Today is the 18th day of the first lunar month. This means Liu's family almost comes over to eat a meal every other day. My god, does this place feel like a canteen!

Sun Shi told Xia Hua, "What's the point of telling your sister these things It's just about eating a few meals. It's nothing more than using an extra pair of chopsticks. You make such a big deal out of it! If someone else heard you, they'd think our family is wealthy now and stingy!"

Little Flower felt a bit aggrieved and said, "Mother, if Aunt Four was happy after the meal and said a few nice things about you, we'd just accept it. It's just a matter of using an extra pair of chopsticks, right"

But what about her Not only did she finish eating herself, but she also took a bowl and said she was packing it for He'er. Even after packing it, she wasn't done. She went back and forth saying that the dish was too salty, not salty enough, too spicy, too sweet, and that He'er didn't like it and only ate a few bites or so...

"Mother, these words make me very uncomfortable. They eat and then criticize relentlessly! Is there anyone like this" Xiaohua became increasingly distressed as she spoke, nearly burning the fish pieces in the pot.

Sun shi was speechless and could only smile wryly in the end: “Your fourth aunt is just like that. Actually, she doesn't have any bad intentions...”

Yang Ruqing took over the conversation: "Mother, whether or not Fourth Aunt has bad intentions, in this matter of eating at our house, I stand on Huahua's side."

"That's right, our family is well-off now, and we don't have to worry about food or clothing. We don't need her chopsticks, nor do we need her mouth."

"But, we're not a charity. There should be boundaries when it comes to family interactions. She always goes to other people, eats their food, and never invites us over for even a single grain of rice. What does that even mean"

"This isn't the kind of close relationship where you and your mother are inseparable. Sisters-in-law don't act like this. Look at Aunt Five."

"We sent Aunt Five some food, and she was very grateful. When she made something to eat in return, she also remembered us. It's about reciprocity, looking out for each other, and helping each other out when times are tough—that's what it means to be a truly close relative!" Yang Ruqing said.

Xiaohua nodded repeatedly: "My sister is right. My sister's eloquence surpasses mine. I can't express myself clearly, but my sister hit the nail on the head!"

Yang Ruqing smiled at Xiao Hua, then turned her head and continued to persuade Sun Shi. After washing her brain for two or three sentences, Sun Shi showed a begging expression.

"Alright, alright, it's mother's fault. Mother didn't control herself well this time. Both of you sisters are right. From now on, mother will know her limits." Sun said.

"Hua'er, our mother, this attitude of admitting wrong and showing humility is truly admirable. In my whole life, I've hardly ever seen her truly lose her temper." Yang Ruqing couldn't help but tease playfully.

Little Flower also nodded repeatedly, "It's precisely because my mother has such a good temper that our family is harmonious and everything prospers..."

"Well, you're the only one whose mother has such a good temper and is so kind. It's me, your father, who's the big villain"

A deep voice came into the kitchen, and Yang Huazhong’s tall and sturdy figure followed soon after, lifting the curtain and walking in.

This is a test.

Because of his arrival, this kitchen suddenly seemed a little cramped and confined.

This is a sample text.

“Father.”

Yang Ruqing and Xiaohua greeted Yang Huazhong, who nodded with a smile.

Sun shi said, "Qing'er's father, have you eaten at the old house"

Yang Huazhong nodded: "The daughter-in-law of Yongxian cooked us some meat floss noodles with poached eggs and sent them to the east room for us to eat."

Sun said, "Are you full I'll eat some more at home later."

Yang Huazhong said, "I'm full."

Although Yang Ruohong was curious about why her father had been called away by her grandfather, she didn't dare to ask. Her fourth aunt had come over earlier to gossip about it, but nothing concrete had been revealed. Instead, a detour into criticism and education of the Sun family had occurred mid-conversation.

But even if she was eager to ask about the gossip, Yang Ruqing had to hold back. Because her parents were so loving, showing each other such consideration and making their children happy just by watching them, she could also learn a thing or two from it.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sun's concern for Yang Huazhong wasn't limited to whether he was well-fed or not; there were other things too.

“By the way, Qinger's master wants to see you. Is there something important you need to discuss” Mrs. Sun asked again.

Yang Huazhong said: "I'm here to find you about this too. My father said that Yongxian had already discussed with Qing'er about taking a break from teaching at the academy before. It just so happens that Zichuan is at home mourning, so he can take Yongxian's place."

"Yongxian plans to study diligently for the next two years, focusing on academics and preparing for this autumn's provincial examination!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Sun's eyes, "It is rare for someone who has lived such a long life to still have such aspirations. This is a good thing, we should support him."

Yang Ruqing and Xiaohua both nodded along.

Yang Ruqing said, "Big brother these years at the academy was actually teaching while also reviewing his own studies. Although he was disappointed and discouraged after failing the local exam before, that was just at the time."

Over the years, he gradually matured. Now that he has a wife, concubines, and sons, and is soon to have a second child,

"As the head of the household, he must surely feel the weight on his shoulders. He wants to take a gamble," Yang Ruoqing said.

As for Yang Yongxian's fighting spirit, Yang Ruqing both admires and encourages it.

But what does this have to do with Yang Huazhong being called by Lao Yangtou

"Father, please continue your story," Yang Ruqing said.

Then Yang Huazhong continued, “Your grandfather not only found me today, but also your fourth uncle, fifth uncle, second brother, third brother, and your Aunt Mei.”

Oh, look, all the folks from Lao Yang's family are here! Hmm, I see that Yang Yongbai from the second branch wasn't invited.

“Your grandpa means that even though the Yang family has been divided for a long time, even splitting into several smaller branches, as long as he and your grandmother are around, the Yang family will always be one.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"No matter which branch of the Lao Yang family has trouble, all the other branches must lend a helping hand. They contribute money if they have it and manpower if they can spare it. Even if one day your grandpa and grandma are gone, we must always remember that in the bones of every member of our Lao Yang family, there flows the same blood!"

Hearing this, Yang Ruqing secretly smiled. Lao Yang was born at the wrong time. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be the most outstanding negotiator, a gold medal lawyer, or a political commissar type of person.

It's a pity such eloquence is being used for mobilization work. The emotional appeal is very effective.

If you also add some festive music, he deserves an Oscar.
