Chapter 4930 Pig's Feet and Yellow Beans
ere was a heap of women and children.Everyone was eating rice cakes and drinking tea, asking Zhao Liuer about what was happening with her family back in the county town.Well, that's just how people ar...Changping Village.
In past years, during the first lunar month, since Yang Ruqing and her family were at home, they would always invite opera troupes to perform in the village, making a big fuss for several days.
Over the years, it seems to have become a custom. So every year when New Year's comes around this time, many households are busy tidying up guest rooms and welcoming relatives to watch the big show.
Please note: I have removed the redundant " >" from your input. Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
As for the relatives, they were all mentally prepared to come over and watch the show as usual. But this year, the tradition was broken, which left everyone feeling inexplicably disappointed.
"This is how people are, you see. In the past, every year our Qing'er would invite them to watch opera, but they didn't take it seriously. They got used to it, thinking that at this time of year there should be a performance. This year, there isn't one, hey, and now each and every one of them is running around asking about it."
Da Sun sent pig's trotters over to Sun, and stood beside her chatting.
“These days, people keep asking me about the opera troupe. They're curious if we can afford to hire them this year. I told them off, making it clear that we don't owe anyone a show. They act like we should just be expected to put on a performance for them!" Dà Sūn fiercely declared.
While cleaning pig trotters, Sun Shi smiled at Da Sun Shi and said, "We can't blame them entirely. After all, that's just how people are."

"Just like a story I heard before, there were two people in a village. One was a kind and hardworking man who got up before dawn every day to help the villagers carry water,"
And the other person steals and cheats, spending their days aimlessly doing nothing but evil.
“One day, this honest man fell ill and couldn’t get out of bed. This meant he couldn't fetch water for the villagers, and as a result, everyone blamed him,”

"And that sneaky thief, because a robber came to the village and he drove him away, was praised by everyone in the village."
"Our family, in the past, used to invite opera singers like that honest man. This year, we didn't invite them, and I think it's pretty good. Let them cool off for a while," said Mrs. Sun.
Big Sun nodded, “That makes sense. It's quite amusing. The people have nothing to do for entertainment, but they really like to make a fuss in this month of August. Well, the Taoist temple opened its doors two days ago, and wouldn’t you know it, everyone went to the temple, scrambling and jostling to buy the first incense to burn!”
"Really" Mrs. Sun was also taken aback.
>
Have you heard of burning incense for a good omen You should give it a try!
"I'm telling you, sis, you wouldn't also want to go burn incense, would you I'll tell you, even if we were going these two days, don't go. I heard from people who came back that there are too many people at the Taoist temple, visitors everywhere. The trees for wishes are all full of wish paper, and even the small fish and shrimp in the release pond are crawling all over the place..."
Hearing that the Daoist temple was so prosperous, Sun's eyebrows rose with delight.
“Then let’s set a date to go incense together, alright Qing’er said the Taoist temple is open, we should definitely go show our support!”
"Da Sun nodded. "Then I'll choose a good day and come to call you and Su Yun, so we can all go to the Taoist temple together to burn incense."
At the moment she was speaking, Mrs. Sun had already cleaned the pig's trotters in her hands and put them into a clay pot. She grabbed some yellow beans, sliced two pieces of ginger, and added them to the pot along with water. Then, she covered it tightly and put it into the stove to simmer.
Da Sun saw all of these actions from the grandson's family and couldn't help but say, "Sister, in the next three months, you and Lao San will be tired. To put it bluntly, taking care of an old man paralyzed in bed is not an easy task."
Mrs. Sun smiled: "So what can be done Who asked me to marry the third son I have to be a good wife, everyone gets old and there comes a time when they can't take care of themselves."
"Grandson-in-law, you've bought all the pork, ribs, and trotters from my family recently. Take these trotters for example, didn't you buy them to stew for your father-in-law" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Sun Shi nodded gently.
“My father-in-law loves pig’s trotters. Yesterday, when he was drinking pork bone soup, he mentioned it. So today, I made him some to simmer. I hope he eats two bowls.” Mrs. Sun said.
Big Sun once again nodded: “You are a filial good daughter-in-law. Your in-laws are fortunate to have a daughter-in-law like you.”
Sun smiled again, others say that, but the in-laws may not think so!
Alright, anyway, just do what I'm supposed to do and that's enough.
When it was almost noon, Mrs. Sun carried a bowl of stewed pork trotters and yellow bean soup to Old Yang's house.
"Fragrant, so fragrant." Old Yang twitched his nose, his eyes following the bowl in Sun's hand.
Yang Huazhong chuckled and said, "Dad, this is pig trotters stewed with yellow beans. Qinger's mother knows you love it, so she specially asked her sister-in-law and brother-in-law to send over some fresh pig trotters!"
Old Yang glanced at Sun: "You're thoughtful."
Mrs. Sun smiled gently, "It's only right, Father, you should eat more. It has been simmering for almost two hours now, it should be tender."
Old Yang nodded, took the large bowl, and picked up a pig's trotter to take a big bite.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's like eating glutinous rice balls, with a satisfying crunching sound.
“Well, this tastes authentic!” Old Yang praised again.
Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun looked at each other, both were very pleased.
The couple watched as Lao Yang devoured the entire bowl of pig's trotters stewed in yellow beans.
“Is there more” Lao Yang raised his head and asked Mrs. Sun who was standing by the bed.
Sun said, “There are still some in the pottery jar.”
Old Yang stretched his empty bowl before Mrs. Sun: "Fill me another bowl, I haven't had enough yet."
Sun showed a hint of hesitation.
"What None" Lao Yang asked again.
Mrs. Sun quickly shook her head: "Yes, yes there are."
"Since you have it, why not give it to your father Are you being stingy" Tan Shi, who had been silent in the corner of the room all along, suddenly spoke.
Since Sun's outburst the other day, Tan has been giving him the cold shoulder for the past two days, refusing to speak.
That sentence was the first thing the old woman had said to her granddaughter on her own accord in days.
“Mother, you misunderstand me. This pig’s trotter was made especially for Father. How could I possibly be unwilling to let him eat it” said Mrs. Sun.
Tan snorted, "If that's the case, then why don't you go get your father another bowl"
Sun Shi patiently explained: "It's not that I'm not wearing it, but I'm afraid that if I eat too much pig's trotters stewed with yellow beans, my father's stomach will be bloated."
Soybeans can cause bloating and flatulence if eaten in excess. This is common knowledge.
>
But Old Yang just waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry about it. I love eating soybeans the most. Whether they are fried or stewed, as long as there are enough, I'll eat them all without getting angry."
But...
“Mama Qing’er, don't talk anymore, quickly go and bring Daddy some!” Yang Huazhong interrupted Sun Shi’s words, saying.

Unable to resist any longer, Mrs. Sun had no choice but to go to the kitchen and soon brought out a large earthenware pot along with her serving utensils.
Old Yang was very happy. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the ladle to eat directly, and he also called Tan to sit beside him on the bed. The two of them ate and drank, munching happily and enjoying their meal.
