Chang Gung Family.

>

Mrs. Sun excitedly came in with a skirt, kitchen knife, and small hammer, along with other tools from the kitchen.

When they arrived, snowflakes were floating in the courtyard. At the doorway of Chang Geng's kitchen, Chang Geng and his wife Guihua were discussing something there.

The sound of clanging and banging coming from the kitchen indicated that many of Li's relatives had come to help out.

Seeing Sun and Yang Ruoqing, mother and daughter, enter the courtyard, Guihua's eyes lit up, and she hurried over to greet them.

“Qing’er, are you here to help?” Guihua asked in surprise.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "That's right, we were supposed to come over in the day time, but today my in-laws had a bumper harvest from their fish pond and invited us for a meal. Our whole family went over there, which is why we were delayed in coming to help."

Guihua, upon hearing this, exchanged a look with Chang Geng. Both their faces were filled with emotion.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, so your kids are all at home. You must be kept busy with the whole family."

“I had originally made arrangements with Chang Geng, and wasn’t planning on asking you to help. I was just going to have the third brother and Tang Ya Zi come over tomorrow for Xiaoyu's wedding.” The woman said.

Mrs. Sun smiled and shook her head. “I have Xiaohua and Xiaoduo taking care of things at home, so I'm free,”

"No need to say anything more. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it. Between us, there's no need to hold grudges." Mrs. Sun said.

Gui Hua and Chang Geng were even more touched.

Chang Geng said, “Xiaoyu, since Qing’er has already spoken to this point, let's not shirk our responsibilities. The more people there are, the greater the strength.”

The osmanthus blossom nodded slightly, and her gaze fell once more upon Yang Ruqing.

"Qinger, you don't need to worry about the kitchen. If you have some free time, go talk to Xiaoyu. That girl has been red-eyed since morning, she must be feeling a bit sad."

“I’m so busy right now, I can’t even go talk to her. Would you mind going to keep her company for me?”

Yang Ruqing nodded quickly, "I came here today specifically to accompany Xiaoyu."

"Good, good!" Guihua nodded repeatedly.

Chang Geng said, "Then let's do it this way for now. I'll go to Brother Luò's place and bring back the fish needed for the banquet tomorrow."

“Okay, go ahead and get back to work.”

This is just a simple example. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Everyone went their separate ways, bustling about with feverish energy.

Xiaoyu's boudoir.

Yang Ruqing looked at the row of brand new furniture, running her hands gently over each piece. Finally, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

“Chang-Geng Uncle and Gui Hua Auntie, you really put a lot of thought into preparing this dowry for you!” she said.

These dowries, whether in terms of the quality of the wood, the style of the dowry, or the quantity, are unparalleled in this countryside.

Moreover, the depiction of many details and carvings is even more meticulous.

Such a dowry, not to mention in the homes of commoners, would definitely be impressive even if taken to the esteemed Ning family in Qingshan County.

“No wonder Auntie Guihua said long ago that they started preparing for your dowry as soon as you got engaged in the first lunar month.”

“This year, most of the effort has been put into preparing the dowry. The crops in the fields have been neglected a bit, hehe…”

Yang Ruqing said, and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Little Yu sat on the bed, leaning against a pile of freshly bundled blankets. She took off her shoes and held her knees to her chest with both hands.

Since Yang Ruohong entered, she has been maintaining this posture and still is now.

...only after hearing Yang Ruqing's words did she lift her head and glance at the row of dowry items in front of her. Then, she let out a soft sigh.

"Back then, I dreamed of marrying Brother Ning. For him, I spent years refusing to go home for the New Year."

"At that time, thinking of staying in Xiushui Town, staying where he was,"

"Though we can't be together all the time, at least knowing we are in the same town means that if he ever gets leave from the camp, we could run into each other."

"At that time, there was a stubbornness, a persistence in my heart. I wanted him, and everything else didn't seem so urgent or important."

“Now, I suddenly feel a little regret,”

“I missed so many opportunities to be with my parents. For my own selfish reasons, I made them worry and miss me on many occasions like this.”

"I used to hear the village elder women chatting, saying that daughters were destined to be raised for other families, and once they were married, they were like water spilled out. Back then, I was indignant and wanted to argue with them,"

"Now that I think about it carefully, I'm a white-eyed wolf who can't be tamed. For over ten years, my parents have raised me, but I haven't had time to repay them before I get married..."

As she spoke, tears began to well up in Xiaoyu's eyes and roll down her cheeks.

She reached out and took the handkerchief that had been prepared earlier, burying her head in it as she wiped away her tears. Her shoulders trembled slightly, giving her away as someone overcome with sadness.

The sound of clanging pots and pans came from the kitchen, accompanied by the cheerful laughter of the women helping out.

This contrasted sharply with the atmosphere in the room, and Xiaoyu's tears flowed even more joyfully.

Yang Ruqing walked over and sat down beside the bed.

“Your idea is wrong.” she said.

"It's right for men to get married when they are older and for women to marry when they are older. You should strive and fight for your true love, is there anything wrong with that?"

"That's right, you are very brave!" Yang Ruohong said.

“However, your path in love is a bit more bumpy and complicated than others', so you haven't come home for the New Year for the past two or three years.”

"But even if you didn't go home to spend the New Year with your parents, you never missed sending clothes for every season and gifts back home."

"Over the past few years, all the money you've earned has been given to your family. Look at the current state of your home now, the renovated house and the newly purchased farmland."

"We have cattle at home, and also two big fat pigs. Your brother has enough money for his wedding, and your younger brother has been sent to the school in the village."

"Although Chang-Geng Shu is also making money, a part of it is due to your efforts! Don't blame yourself like this, and don't deny what you sacrificed for love before," Yang Ruohong said.

Xiaoyu shook her head: "I didn't deny those things, I...I just feel very regretful that I didn't do well and neglected my parents and brothers..."

“This isn’t neglect,” Yang Ruqing corrected. “Besides, even though you’re married, you can still show filial piety to your parents and support your siblings. As long as you have the heart, it’s never too late.”

“Look at me, I was never married. It was just me who went to serve my parents.”

"Being married now means I have another person to accompany me in filial piety. I can do it, and you can too. You have to believe in yourself. Love and family affection are not contradictory!"
