"Yes, I won't go looking for you because I will be following you." Luofeng Tang held her hand tightly, stared into her eyes, and said seriously.

"No matter where you go, to the south, north, west or east sea, I will follow you!" he said again.

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

The previous twinge of bitterness vanished in an instant, replaced by a surge of emotion that filled Yang Ruoqing's chest.

“Well, what if I went to heaven, hell, the past, or the future? Would you come with me?” she asked.

Luo Fengtang smiled.

When he smiles, he's actually really handsome.

He just doesn't smile much in front of others. Even when he does, it's a kind of goofy, wide grin.

>Only when facing Yang Ruqing and Luo Babao would his smile be completely unguarded.

"Alright, no matter where you go, take me with you." Luo Fengtang said again.

Yang Ruqing looked at him and nodded lightly.

Suddenly, a firm resolution took shape in my heart.

“Don't think too much about anything, we'll always be together.” Luo Fengtang gently stroked Yang Ruohua’s hair.

“Go to sleep, little one. When you wake up, I’ll take you to the kitchen for dinner. My aunt cooked tonight's meal, and there’s your favorite sour-spicy fish hotpot!” he added.

Yang Ruqing smiled sweetly and stepped into her dream.

Wang Shuanzi's affair has finally blown over, and now he just needs to recuperate at home.

As for the spark that ignited this whole affair, Yang Yongxian and Li Xiuxin, the couple in question, are still going through a separation.

Yang Yongxian had made up his mind to live in the schoolhouse and wouldn't go home at all.

Li Xiu Xin waited for three days but didn't get a response, so she angrily packed her belongings and asked her brother-in-law to take her back to Li Jia Village to sit the confinement period.

Old Yang watched his newly-single grandson, sighing all day long.

At this moment, another good news came back to Changping Village.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the imperial decree had already been delivered, Da'an was appointed as the champion scholar by the emperor. When officials came to announce the good news with gongs and drums blaring, it was already the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

There are still twelve days until the New Year.

The news brought a wave of excitement and joy to the Lao Yang family, and even the entire Changping Village, far surpassing the anticipation for the upcoming New Year.

“This is truly a blessing from heaven, with all the gods and ancestors looking after us, protecting the Yang family,”

"Our old Yang family, we actually produced a top scholar, hahaha! Even if I died right now, I'd be happy. When I get to the underworld and meet my ancestors, my old face will finally have some honor, hahaha..."

After a sumptuous feast of wine and delicacies, the officials who had come to announce the good news were sent off. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

　　The villagers and elders did not disperse, still gathered in Yang Huazhong's main hall. Old Yang Tou, the champion's grandfather, was surrounded by everyone like a star and sat in the main seat, eloquently expressing his feelings.

“My son Da'an, this child has been smart since he was little. Actually, I saw it a long time ago, but in the past, our family wasn't well off and life was hard, so we couldn't afford to send him to school.”

Old Yang continued.

"I almost missed out on a top scholar, almost lost a pillar of the nation! When I think about this, old man, I feel deeply guilty!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing Lao Yangtou's words, the crowd began to comfort and flatter him one after another.

"Old Yang, please don't say that,"

“Your Lao Yang family's descendants are truly remarkable! There are merchants, generals, top scholars, talented gentlemen, and even village heads among you...”

"All these good aspects have been taken care of by your Yang family, haven't they?"

“Everybody says that the spiritual energy of Niushan Mountain is all focused on your Yang family.”

"Otherwise, we all eat rice grown in the same field and drink water from the same pond at the village well. Why are your descendants so successful while ours are just commoners?"

In a nutshell, your family's ancestral tomb is excellent. All this abundant spiritual energy on the mountains and fields goes directly to your household.

There is a saying: "People fear becoming famous, pigs fear growing fat."

Since Dai An passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he was kept in the capital by the emperor. Meanwhile, his hometown of Changping Village, thousands of miles away, was bustling with activity as people came to congratulate and celebrate.

This is a test string to show the translation functionality. Please provide me with any text you'd like translated, and I'll do my best!

Every day, the number of people who come to Yang Huazhong's home to offer congratulations is so great that they are practically wearing down the threshold.

Among these people, the most numerous were the small landowners from nearby villages, the gentry from Qingshui Town, and merchants who had business dealings with Yang Ruqing's restaurant.

This is a response. It looks like you're trying to translate text within HTML tags. I can do that! Just paste the text between the tags, and I'll give you the English translation. Let me know if you have something else you'd like me to translate.

Besides that, there are village heads like Yang Huazhong from the surrounding villages.

“Those who came over, usually when the folks had something to do, they’d go to the headman in town. I was always the first one to greet them.”

Though they are all village headmen, each one acts as if he is bigger than the rest.

Yang Huazhong sat at the clean table where he had just finished his meal, took a sip of the new tea Yang Ruqing had just brewed for him, and spoke with a face full of emotion about these things.

Both Yang Ruqing and the Sun family were stunned. Please note: The input you provided was just an HTML tag. If you have text content within the tags that needs translating, please provide it.

Yang Ruqing had always thought that her father was doing this because he was influential in the village.

Then the relationship between him and the village head was also managed well. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Every time I came back from the village headman's place after hearing about things, I was always happy.

Only now do I realize that Father has gone through all this...

"That's just how humans are, they exalt some and belittle others. That's human nature," Yang Ruqing said.

As someone who has lived two lifetimes, she understands human nature better than anyone and can accept it more readily.

"These village officials, several of them are from the town area. They don't know our situation well and at first, they also asked me."

Yang Huazhong smiled and then continued.

“All I said was that I have a daughter who runs a small food and beverage business in town, and her husband is in the Southern Army.”

“Both my sons are studying, hehe, I won't say much about the others.” he said.

“When Dayan passed the imperial examinations and became a Jinshi, there wasn't as much commotion. They didn't know yet,”

>This time, Dayan passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. The whole county of Wanghai knew about it, so naturally, they all knew about it too.

“Today, everyone is so surprised they can't close their mouths! They even criticized me, saying that my family has such accomplished children and son-in-law, why did I have to hide it? Hahaha...”

>

Yang Ruqing and Sun sat on either side of Yang Huazhong, neither interrupting him.

The man was happy in his heart. He had lived half a life, and there were many things he wanted to say but hadn't.

Let him speak well and slowly.

>

Yang Ruqing listened, her heart aching for her father. But she also admired his blood and tenacity.

When those other officials looked down on him and deliberately made things difficult for him, he did not bring up his own children to defend himself. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text! ?

You have to know, when Yang Huazhong was the headman, she and Tang YaZi were already people who had met the emperor...

The old man ran his own affairs outside, relying on himself to cultivate relationships with other village heads and local officials.

In Changping Village, he gradually gained prestige in the hearts of the villagers by relying on his own enthusiasm and principles.

Perhaps, the siblings' indomitable spirit and tenacity stem from their father, Yang Huazhong?
