"Luckily, Mom and Dad, you've never asked anything of me, so I can go all out without any pressure, hehe..."

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

Hearing Yang Ruoqing’s words, Sun Shi’s loving gaze fell upon her.

"You say you're not under pressure? You're hiding it all inside. Do you really think your mother doesn't know?" the woman said.

Yang Ruoheng stuck out her tongue.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Mom, we've been dawdling around, and if we don't hurry, my mother-in-law and the others will be here soon, and the rice won't even be cooked yet!" Yang Ruqing urged.

Sun Shi suddenly came to her senses, "Oh my, I was so caught up in the conversation that I forgot all about cooking the rice!"

"Come on, come on, hurry up and cook!"

The mother and daughter hurried to the backyard and started preparing dinner.

For dinner, I don't want to eat anything too greasy. From a health perspective, this meal at night should be light and clear.

So, the mother and daughter pondered for a moment. Sun would be in charge of the fire in the hearth, while Yang Ruqing would take care of the stovetop.

“Mother, how about we have some light congee and side dishes for dinner tonight, and then some rice cakes made with various grains?” she suggested.

Sun nodded: "You decide!"

Then, Yang Ruqing began to take action.

In the millet, red beans, peanuts, and dates were added, and the eight-treasure porridge began to be cooked.

Wheat flour, corn flour, honey, and eggs are in place.

>

Salted vegetable omelet has a chewy texture, and cornmeal pancake is soft, sweet and fragrant.

In addition, there's a sweet and savory sauce for the cold dishes, crunchy candied peanuts with a hint of caramel, crisp pickled cucumber cubes, stir-fried amaranth with minced pork, and a plate of green vegetables...

When night had completely fallen, the dining hall was illuminated by several oil lamps, making it as bright as day.

All of them, including Tuoba Xian, had arrived. Everyone gathered around the table in the dining hall, savoring their favorite delicacies.

The saying "eat without speaking, sleep without talking" applies to those large households that value etiquette.

In this kind of household, it's almost impossible to get them to eat in silence.

During the day, each member of the family was busy with their own affairs. They would gather together for meals.

Enjoying delicious food and chatting with loved ones, this is the time when family bonds are nurtured and strengthened.

Even among neighbors, during the day, the most enjoyable time was often at mealtimes. They would each carry their bowls of rice to the foot of the courtyard wall, eating and chatting about everyday matters.

This is also a way of life, a more grounded way of life.

No matter what kind of lifestyle, there is no absolute right or wrong.

Just consider if it's suitable for yourself.

While Yang Huazhong's family was gathered around the table, enjoying the warmth of good food and family togetherness, a heated argument was erupting in the old house, specifically in Room Four.

An old house.

The eastern room.

Old Yang and Tan ate dinner face to face.

This month, the elderly couple were staying with their eldest son's family. The food for the night was sent in from the kitchen by Mrs. Jin.

Two bowls of noodles, the old couple sat opposite each other, eating in silence.

Because the sound of arguing from the west house across the street was constantly coming over.

Most of it was Yang Huaming's scolding, interspersed with Liu's weak pleas.

In the end, there were only Liu's sobs and Kangzi's cries.

>

Whether it was Jin's skills that were too poor, cooking noodles that didn't suit Lao Yang's taste, or simply that he had grown weary of the arguing,

Old Yang put down his chopsticks and frowned.

“As soon as they came back, there was an argument. The adults quarreled and the children cried, making the house uneasy. It’s really unbecoming.” he said.

Tan stirred the noodles in her bowl and hummed, "Liu deserved this. Who told her to be so quick-witted? She didn't even hear the whole story before running around spreading rumors." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This is also because the fourth one's temper is good. A few scolding words and two slaps are enough to make things go away.

"If it were any other man with a fiery temper, he'd have kicked her to the curb long ago, that long-tongued woman!"

Tan said, nodding her head, and then slurped the noodles in her bowl.

This clear soup noodle dish does suit Tan's taste.

In the midst of cries and shouts coming from across, the old woman ate up all the noodles in her bowl in one gulp, including every drop of soup.

>

“Well, the eldest daughter-in-law's noodle-making skills have improved.”

Tan had a satisfied burp and said.

Old Yang glanced at Tan's empty bowl and immediately saw a long black hair stuck to the bottom.

Lao Yang glanced at Tan Shi's head again, her white hair neatly combed.

No need to guess, it's the eldest daughter-in-law.

This daughter-in-law was always messy and untidy her whole life.

It's fortunate that the old woman is now blind, otherwise she wouldn't be able to enjoy this so much.

Otherwise, tonight's quarrel will not be limited to the old couple across from us.

Old Yang looked at Tan's contented expression and suddenly felt that sometimes being blind was also a kind of blessing.

"Oh, wife, sometimes when I see these grandkids, today's this thing, tomorrow's that, I feel a little envious of you." Old Yang said.

Tan froze for a moment, then smiled.

"As a blind old woman, I am pitiable. What is there to envy?" she said.

Lao Yang said, "Out of sight, out of mind."

Tan snorted. "You'll see when you're truly blind, then you won't say this."

Leaving those words, she fumbled for the cane beside her, rose to her feet, and walked toward the east room's doorway.

“Where are you going?” Lao Yangtou asked Tan Shi.

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

Tan said, "Go to the west room."

"What are you doing at Xiwu?" Old Yang asked again.

Tan turned her head and said without looking back, “I was just saying a few words. It’s almost time to sleep. You’re all so loud, making it impossible for me to sleep.”

Lao Yang stood up: "Can't you see, or shall I go?"

Tan smiled: “I am day and I am night, night and I am night.”

"When it comes to looking at things at night, you really don't have any skill. I'll go and get them back!"

After saying that, Ms. Tan walked out of the room first.

Old Yang also stood up immediately: "I'm going too, old woman, you better wait for me!"

Inside the west house.

There was some dark, unrecognizable food on the table.

>

Little Juju, the third miss is sitting there with her head buried, digging around.

Kangkang sat there, his mouth wide open and tears streaming down his face. The small bowl in front of him had been knocked over, and snot and tears were dripping from his chin.

No one tended to him because Yang Huaming was by the bed, pointing at Liu's nose and scolding her.

Liu sat on the bed, covering her face with both hands and crying.

Yang Huaming's insults essentially accused the Liu family of being talkative, gossipy, and spreading misinformation outside without fully understanding the situation, thus blackening the reputation of the Yang family.

“Okay, okay, we've been at this all night. That’s enough!”

At the same time that Lao Yang's voice entered the room, he and Tan Shi's figures also appeared at the doorway.

Yang Huaming turned around and was surprised.

He immediately became annoyed and said, "Father, Mother, you don't know, she talks too much and makes up things to smear our Yang family."
