She couldn't wait to pick up a stick and take a bite. Wow, the taste is the same!

Delicious, so delicious, a taste from long ago.

If there were another bowl of sweet bean curd to go with it, it would be perfect.

It's a shame that in this day and age, beans are mostly used for stir-frying, boiling, stewing, or braising.

She, Yang Ruqing, is the first person to create a process of grinding tofu into soy milk and then making various soy products from it.

"Well, I'll have sweet bean curd when I get back home."

Yang Ruqing thought to herself, and began to eat frantically.

>

While Yang Ruqing savored the delicious deep-fried dough sticks made by the imperial kitchen, at Changping Village, thousands of miles away, there was the old Yang family house.

Tam's curses echoed ceaselessly from the backyard.

"Broom star, plague god, eats grain but lays no eggs, useless thing..."

From the main house in the front courtyard, muffled sobs could be heard coming from Yang Yongzhi and Cao Baimei’s dwelling.

The room was sealed shut, with all the doors and windows closed. The air hung thick with a heavy metallic scent of blood.

Cao Baimei, who had just given birth, had a piece of cloth wrapped on her head. She leaned against the headboard, covering her mouth with both hands and crying, her shoulders trembling.

In the small cradle by the bed, a child was curled up in a blanket, sleeping soundly.

The door creaked open.

Mrs. Sun came in from outside, carrying a basket in her arms. In the basket was a large bowl, with another bowl upside down on top of it.

“You just gave birth to a child, why are you crying? You'll ruin your eyes if you cry too much, and it's something that will last a lifetime. Stop crying quickly!”

Sun Shi instructed and quickly walked to the bedside.

“Come, I cooked noodles for you. Eat the noodles first.”

Sun Shi placed the basket on a nearby table and took out a large bowl filled with noodles and eggs from it. She brought it to Cao Baimei's front.

"Come, you just gave birth and your body is weak. Eat the noodles quickly so you have the strength and breast milk." Sun Shi coaxed kindly.

Cao Bamai shook her head, "Aunt Three, I don't want to eat anymore, I'm not hungry at all."

"How could you not be hungry? Giving birth is the most exhausting thing for a woman," Mrs. Sun said.

Cao Baimei shook her head again, just about to say something, when the sounds of Tan's struggles and bangs came from outside.

"Thin and small, flat in front and back, like a coffin board."

"Everything is inadequate, everything I do is wrong."

"Even having children is difficult, there's a saying that 'the greatest unfilial piety is to have no descendants.' If I had known she was such a troublesome person beforehand, I shouldn't have let her into the family. What bad luck!"

>

Tan scolded and cursed incessantly, her words full of fury.

Here, in this room, Cao Baimei's tears, which had just stopped flowing, welled up again.

"Auntie Three, I really feel so useless. My first child is a girl, and my second child is also a girl."

"It's been several years since I moved in, and I still haven't been able to give Eiji a son. I'm truly ashamed to be eating this bowl of noodles... sniffle..."

Cao Bamai buried her face in the quilt and cried again.

Mrs. Sun put down her bowl and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe tears from Cao Baimei's eyes.

>

"Don't cry, don't cry. Boys and girls are all flesh that fell off your own body, there's no difference."

"Don't let your mother's words get to you. You and Yongzhi are still young, there will be plenty of opportunities to have a son in the future, so what's the rush?"

"Don't cry anymore, dear. Crying too much during confinement will harm your health and eyes. Then you'll truly be a burden to Yongzhi and your two daughters..."

Under Sun's persuasion, Cao Baimei tearfully accepted the bowl and chopsticks.

The bowl was filled with soft noodles, topped with two poached eggs. It looked very tempting.

>

But Cao Baimei still couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Hurry up and eat, Er Ya has only had two sips of sugar water since she was born an hour ago,"

"If you don't eat noodles, your milk won't come in, what will you do when the child is hungry?" Sun Shi persuaded again.

Here's the translation, remembering to keep the HTML tags as they are:

Cao Baimei turned her head to look at the child in the cradle, then began to eat noodles with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Sun sat beside her and said, "You gave birth to a child just in time when your sister-in-law Suyun and your niece Qinger's mother are not at home."

A few days ago, Dain sent a letter saying that his studies were very demanding and he wouldn't be coming home for Qingming Festival.

Mrs. Sun remembered and had made several sets of spring clothes for Da'an, but hadn't given them to him yet. Just at this time, Yang Huazhou came back to pick up Bao Suyun and her three children to go to the county.

Sun quickly packed up Dayan's clothes and had Xiaohua take them, along with Bao Suyun, to the county.

Accompanying them were also the couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dàsun.

They heard that there was someone in the county selling pig medicine, so they wanted to go to the county to buy better pig medicine.

Your third uncle has already gone to the county town to find Yongzhi. Yongzhi should be home in the afternoon.

"Yung Zhi isn't that kind of person who favors sons over daughters. He truly adores these two girls. You should rest assured!"

After Sun's persuasion, Cao Baimei's mood finally improved a little, burying her head and eating noodles.

In a short while, Zhao Liuer also came in, carrying a wooden bucket in her hand.

This is what you asked for.

"Third Aunt is here too?" Zhao Liuer first greeted Sun Shi.

Mrs. Sun nodded with a smile, her gaze falling on the wooden bucket Zhao Liuer had placed there. "Are all the clothes washed?"

Zhao Liuer said, "Well, they're all drying out."

Here, Cao Baimei looked up and cast a grateful glance at Zhao Liuer.

"Third younger sister, thank you so much for washing all those dirty clothes, with blood and everything..." Cao Baimei said.

Here is the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhao Liuer laughed: "Second sister-in-law, why are you saying these polite words to me? We're family! When I give birth, I'll definitely need your help, Second sister-in-law!"

Cao Baimei nodded. "That's what I should do."

Zhao Liuer smiled again, walked to the cradle, and leaned down to look at the sleeping second girl inside.

"Is this what a newborn baby looks like? How cute! They sleep so soundly." Zhao Liuer whispered softly.

She couldn't help reaching out and gently touching the little baby girl's cheek.

A small face, tender and soft, with a fine layer of fuzz.

The eyebrows were very light, and when she was asleep, her eyes closed together, the eyeliner long and curved.

His little nose was flat, his small mouth tightly pursed together. You couldn't see his hair on top of his head because he wore a tiny octagonal hat.

Wearing a little dress and lying in the little cradle, she slept soundly, her small finger outside her sleeve clenched into a tiny fist.

Zhao Liuer curiously reached out and grasped the little infant's hand. Her own hand, compared to this little child's hand,

Goodness gracious, she felt like her hands were the hands of Buddha himself.

"Children are so amazing, there really are people this small in the world?"

Zhao Liuer looked at it, mumbling to herself.

"This little finger is thinner than chopsticks, so tender it's almost transparent. Oh my god, it's amazing, amazing..."

Here, Sun and Cao Bajie looked at each other, seeing Zhao Liuer like this, they couldn't help but smile.

"Liu'er, you're still the most clever. You finally managed to get Baba to laugh." Sun Shi said.

Zhao Liuer looked up and saw that Cao Bamie's eyes were red. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?
