Chapter 4509: Like a Dream

had been nursing earlier.The white-haired baboon's good deed was interrupted and he even got slapped. He was very annoyed.It bared its teeth at the mother baboon and let out a warning growl.And the mo...Old Yang's face also flushed red, he sat there with an unnatural smile on his face.

It seems that after Yang Hu'an's tomb relocation incident, there was an additional layer of estrangement between the father and son. Sitting together suddenly like this, Old Yang wasn't as comfortable, and he couldn't chat as freely as before.

Feeling awkward, Lao Yang reached for the dry pipe hanging from his waist and intended to take two puffs to ease the tension. Yang Ruqing quickly spoke up.

"Grandpa, the doctor told me that my father can't be around smoke for the next few days. It would irritate his throat, which is already swollen."

Hearing this, Old Yang quickly put his pipe back in.

Yang Huazhong felt a little embarrassed and said, “It’s fine, Father. You smoke if you want to, I don't mind.”

Old Yang coughed lightly, his eyes flickering slightly. "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry to smoke either. Wait until you're better, and then we can smoke together."

Mrs. Sun quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes, Daddy, please get well soon so you can smoke dried tobacco with Grandpa.”

Yang Huazhong nodded.

Raising his head to look at Lao Yang, Yang Huazhong saw the hopeful gaze in Lao Yang's eyes, and his heart was filled with even more emotion.

But after Mrs. Sun finished speaking, the room fell silent again, and the atmosphere became awkward once more.

Yang Ruqing shifted her gaze and said, "Grandpa, you stay here and chat with my father for a while. I'll go with Mother to settle these chickens and ducks."

Lao Yang nodded.

Mother and daughter hurriedly left with their things, leaving this space to the two of them.

"The two of us shouldn't stand around here. Your father and grandfather would probably be more at ease talking if we weren't." On the way to the backyard, Sun asked Yang Ruqing this question.

Yang Ruqing smiled, "It should be."

First, the two of you take those chickens and ducks to the coop in the backyard.

Sun said: “These chickens and ducks are fattened up, heavy in the hand. There's even a black bone chicken here. I’ll simmer it for your father to make soup, good for nourishing him. What's going on with your grandparents this time In all the thirty years I've been here, I've never seen them treat your father like this. It feels like a dream.”

Yang Ruqing smiled, "My grandmother is smart. She sees that you all seem to have made up your minds not to compromise with them, so they're in a hurry. A gesture of goodwill naturally has to show sincerity, right You can't keep the child without catching the wolf."

Sun Shi said again, "Qing'er, are we really going to accept so many things After all, we are the juniors... I just don't feel quite right about it in my heart..."

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "Mother, just accept it honestly. What should be received should be received. Don't you think about what my grandmother did for the other sons She really devoted herself to them. My father has always been the one who puts in the effort among his brothers. Is there anything wrong with receiving a few chickens, ducks, and eggs from them this time"

"To be frank, the money for these chickens, ducks, and eggs... it all comes from the silver we've been giving to our elders over the years, right My grandparents even used their own savings to relocate my uncle's grave to ensure his well-being. My father eating a few of their chickens, ducks, and eggs is nothing compared to that. Just accept them honestly and peacefully, trust me!"

Mrs. Sun sighed lightly, "Alright, I'll accept it then!"

"Oh, by the way, where's your Aunt Si I remember she came to the backyard to deliver a message earlier. Why can't I find her after walking around twice" Mrs. Sun suddenly asked.

Yang Ruqing paused her hand that was holding the egg, then smiled in a rather strange way.

“While my grandfather and I were talking outside, Aunt Four slipped a few chicken eggs and duck eggs into my coat pocket and left under some pretext,” she said.

"Ah" Mrs. Sun was utterly dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"You didn't say it outright, did you" the woman asked immediately.

Yang Ruqing shook her head: "This time I didn't expose it, pretending not to see it and letting it go. But next time, it won't be so easy."

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

"Mrs. Sun smiled wryly, “Your aunt is actually not a bad person. When your father was ill, she came to visit many times. There were some things I didn’t dare say, but she spoke them for me, even in front of grandma. However, this woman always can't shake her habit of sneaking around. Oh well!”

Yang Ruqing also smiled: "No one is perfect, just let her be."

“Qing'er, when do you think we should kill this chicken to make some soup for your father This black-bone chicken is very good for nourishing the body,” Mrs. Sun asked again.

Over the past two days, Yang Huazhong had only sipped on some congee and noodle soup intermittently. The total amount over both days was less than what he usually ate for a single meal. Sun Shi could see it with her own eyes and felt anxious in her heart!

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

Yang Ruqing thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I understand you worry about Father having nothing to eat in his stomach. But Father's illness requires him to be on a light diet right now. Although chicken soup is very nourishing, it might not be good for him at this time because his body can't accept it. We should wait until Father recovers in a few days and then give him a proper tonic."

When the two of them returned to Yang Huazhong's house, Old Man Yang had already left. Yang Huazhong lay on his bed, a look of deep thought on his face.

“Father, when did you leave” Sun Shi walked over and asked.

Yang Huazhong said, "As soon as I left, you came right after me."

Sun said, "You don't keep him here for lunch"

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

Yang Huazhong smiled, "I originally wanted to stay, but after some thought, I didn't say anything. I have my own plans."

"What are your plans Tell me about them." Mrs. Sun asked curiously.

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "Father, don't say it first, let me guess, how about it"

Yang Huazhong looked at Yang Ruqing with loving eyes: "Come on, guess, see if you can guess what I'm thinking."

Sun also cast his gaze on Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing pondered for a moment, and said, "Father, you're probably thinking this way. If we keep you for lunch today, on the one hand, my grandfather might not stay to eat. On the other hand, there isn't much time, and you're worried that mother wouldn't have enough time to prepare, right"

Yang Huazhong chuckled, "You're right, I do have some concerns about this. I'm bedridden, and it's not really suitable for your grandpa to have a meal here. Besides, leaving your grandpa alone isn't appropriate either, what about your grandma"

"Yang Ruqing nodded, then continued, "Also, Father, you should also be planning that after you recover from your illness, you'll host a big feast at home. You'll invite Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner, as well as my uncle, Uncle Changgen, Uncle Danniu, and Uncle Si—everyone who came to visit you. Right"

Yang Huazhong smiled and gave Yang Ruqing a thumbs-up: "My daughter is so smart, she guessed my thoughts completely."

On the side, Mrs. Sun also laughed: "This is really your own daughter! She's just like a worm in your stomach, I didn't guess it at all, but she guessed it all right. It truly is that parent-child connection."

"However, Father Qinger, I agree with your plan. Right now, we are all focused on you and have no other thoughts. Once you recover, we'll prepare two tables of delicious food and drinks to properly thank them!"
