Chapter 77: Guests
rs of his mouth.Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!This woman is really amusing.The man who marries her must have a lot of fun, rightAt this thought, Tuo Ba Ling's gaze shifted betwe..."Mother, if you say so, we can relax for the next two days, right" asked Yang Ruoqing.
Mrs. Sun shook her head and smiled: "A working farmer's family, where do they have truly free time I went this morning to cut some reeds for your father to use for weaving baskets, and this afternoon he will weave them while I mend shoes. We'll work hard these next two days to finish the mending!"
"Alright, then I'll go with mother to cut willow branches this morning!"
"Done!"
After breakfast, Yang Ruqing and Mrs. Sun went out with an axe.
Sun also brought a wooden bucket. She went to the small stream behind the village and filled it with water before carrying it back.
“Mother, why are you carrying water” Yang Ruqing asked curiously.
"Last time the two of us planted radish and pumpkin seeds at the foot of the mountain, today I'll just water them. That place is dry and lacking water!" said Mrs. Sun.
>
"Oh!" Yang Ruqing nodded, suddenly thinking of something.
“Mother, the seeds we planted in the ground last time, you said what kind they were, pumpkin seeds”
"Yeah, what's up"
“Won’t it be strange that pumpkin seeds are planted at this time of year Are you mistaken” Yang Ruqing said.
Back then, we had just split up the family and excitedly went to dig and plant seeds. Our hearts were filled with dreams and aspirations.
Sun said to plant whatever, Yang Ruqing didn't think too deeply about it.
It suddenly dawned on me that the pumpkin seeds should be planted before or after the Grain Rain.
Even with modern improved varieties and greenhouse cultivation, pumpkins would still be harvested between July and August. But now it's late autumn, almost winter, so what kind of pumpkins are we planting
“Well, that’s how we farm around here every year!”
Sun Shi was also at a loss.
Yang Ruqing thought for a moment, then asked again, "Mother, can you describe what the pumpkin we grow will look like"
Mrs. Sun put down the bucket and gestured with her hand: "It's this long, this wide, with a bluish-green skin, covered on top like a layer of white frost, just like...like the blue stone at home!"
"Ah"
Yang Ruqing's head was full of black lines.
Isn't that a winter melon
On second thought, the planting season for winter melon seeds is quite suitable right now.
“Mother, have you ever seen a kind of melon like this Orange-red, this big, this round. The melon seeds inside, if roasted and eaten…”
Yang Ruqing compared the modern scientific name "pumpkin" to Sun's family, but Sun shook her head in confusion.
>
“Never seen one this big.”
At this point, Yang Ruqing suddenly understood.
After all that, it turns out to be a misunderstanding.
People here call winter melon "pumpkin," while the real pumpkin might not have been introduced to this era yet
The two sisters chatted and laughed, unknowingly reaching the edge of their home.
Mrs. Sun watered the carrots and what was called "pumpkin" there, while Yang Ruoqing walked to where she had found nettle last time and continued searching.
Sun had just finished watering the plants and came looking for Yang Ruqing. In the bamboo basket by Yang Ruqing's side, there was already a large pile of nettle she had picked, pressed tightly together.
“Well, Qing’er has gathered so many stinging nettles again” Sun Shi glanced at Yang Ruqing’s basket and smiled slightly.

"Well, this thing makes pigs grow fast. Mother, how did you find out about the piglets last time I asked you to inquire" Yang Ruqing asked.
“Your aunt said that a woman from her family's house recently gave birth to piglets. When she’s done with the busy work, she’ll go back to her hometown and catch some piglets. She can also bring one back for us!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Mother, let me bring back two, a male and a female!" said Yang Ruqing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“I’m fine with having a sow, but a boar is out of the question. I don't want to go through the trouble of castrating him later!” said Mrs. Sun.
"Mother, don't worry about it, just agree to me, okay Two little pigs would also have a companion, being lonely will make them lose weight. Having a happy playmate, they'll be more motivated to eat! How about it"
“Okay, okay, you decide!” said Mrs. Sun. “But our family doesn’t even have enough grain to eat ourselves, how could we possibly feed two pigs”
"It's nothing, I'll bring Da An and Xiao An with me every day to feed them pig fodder, dig up wild vegetables, rice bran, and wheat bran. They're all good stuff!" Yang Ruohui said with a smile.
"Speaking of your two younger brothers, I almost forgot to tell you," Sun said.
"Yesterday, your grandmother sent word from her side saying that your grandfather is bringing Da An and Xiao An to visit!"
"Really That's great!" Yang Ruqing exclaimed with excitement.
After being in this world for so long, she still hadn't met any of her fellow siblings. Of course, there's also Gaga!
“Mother, this afternoon I will go dig for earthworms, then catch some eels, and tomorrow I'll prepare some dishes to accompany grandpa’s wine!”
"Well then, my daughter is so considerate!"
The two of them got busy in the woods, cutting reeds and felling willow branches.
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This time, Sun never stepped into the rabbit trap, and Yang Ruohua didn't meet Tang YaZi.
That kid, I wonder if all that venison he had left over yesterday sold out
When the sun moved to overhead, the mother and daughter decided to head back to the village.
This harvest of reeds and willow branches will keep Yang Huazhong busy for three or five days.
Back home, Yang Ruqing put down what she was carrying on her shoulders. She went to the well in the courtyard and washed her hands, wiping her face. Shaking the water droplets from her hands, she walked towards Yang Huazhong's house.
"Dad, we're here... Eh, what are you doing here"
At Yang Huazhong's bedside, someone was still sitting.
Yang Huazhong was talking to the man. The man's words flew like saliva, his expression animated, and he kept gesturing wildly in the air with his hand.
From the content, it seems like he's reminiscing about past hunting experiences.
The person sitting there was seated, with a straight back.
From Yang Ruoqing's point of view, she happened to see Jian Yi's side profile, and the slightly curved corners of his lips.
He seldom spoke, only listening in silence, nodding seriously, his hands resting flat on his thighs, completely absorbed.
Hearing Yang Ruqing's sudden voice, he turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and then stood up, facing Yang Ruqing who walked in. His eyes lit up.
He immediately became stiff and uneasy all over.
"Tang Yazi Is that really you What brings you to my home"
Yang Ruqing was very surprised and blurted out.
This room wasn't big to begin with, and with this kid standing here, it feels even more like a birdcage, you can barely turn around!
>
Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Luofengtang became even more reserved.
>
He lowered his gaze to look at the girl in front of him, who was much shorter than him. His voice sounded a little awkward.
"I, I, just came to take a look... Third Uncle!"
To sum it up, Yang Ruqing heard things really hard!
At the same time, she was a little surprised. This kid seemed very nervous.
What are you nervous about
Could he be worried that she would kick him out
“Qing'er, Tang YaZi came to see me and brought a lot of things, all on the table over there.”
At this time, Yang Huazhong, who was sitting on the bed, spoke.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yang Ruoqing followed the sound and glanced at the table, her eyes widening.
Wow, you bought so much stuff!
This is a continuation of the previous text.
