Seeing Yang Huaming was about to get serious, Xiao Juan quickly knew when to stop.

She stretched out her soft arms and hugged Yang Huaming from behind, whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

“It was my fault. I just lost my son, and I'm heartbroken. I also felt guilty towards you, so I complained a bit more.”

“Fourth Brother, don't be angry with me. Xiao Juan can only talk a bit more here with you.”

Here is the translation:<

"If you're not happy, Xiaojuan will stop talking. Fourth Brother, you look tired. Come on, Xiaojuan will give you a shoulder massage."

A pair of soft and nimble hands, were busy on Yang Huaming's shoulders.

As his sleeves danced, a faint fragrance drifted into Yang Huaming's nostrils, instantly extinguishing the anger that had flared within him.

He reached out and gently took her small hand, "Don't feel guilty, I should be the one feeling guilty. If it wasn't for my reckless use of medicine..."

"Enough, enough. Let's not talk about it anymore. From now on, you'll be with me and we'll live a good life together."

“I’m currently taking Chinese medicine to adjust my body. In a year or two, you give me another son.” he said.

Xiao Juan nodded repeatedly: "Not to mention giving birth to a son, Xiao Juan is willing to serve you, the fourth brother, as a horse back then."

Yang Huaming smiled, “This past six months, heaven has favored me, and I’ve made a little money again.”

"Especially this year and the next, you'll earn more. Two or three years of guilt, we don't need to do any work at all, we won't worry about food and clothing, so there's no need for you to be a cow or horse." He said.

Because this year, there have often been reports of war coming from the South and North.

The southern barbarians and the northern Liao army were both harassing Daqi's borders in the north and south.

Therefore, there was widespread panic throughout the country. In places like Wanghai County and Qingshui Town, rumors spread that this war was just the beginning.

Next, there will be years of war, and all prices will skyrocket.

So, he got to thinking, and saw this as an opportunity.

“At that time, I wanted to buy a batch of rice to sell. I didn't have a penny, so I went to borrow from my father and third brother.”

When I told them I wanted to go into business, they refused to lend me any money and even advised me to just stay at home and tend to the few acres of land in our four courtyards.

“Luckily, Xiao Juan, you gave me your last piece of jewelry to pay off two taels of silver. I earned eighty taels because of that two taels!”

When talking about his own story of making a fortune this time, Yang Huaming is truly full of pride.

I was even impressed by myself, and Xiaoyan looked up to me with admiration.

>

"Fourth brother is really amazing, earning so much money, he can even build a new courtyard for himself at the village entrance." She smiled. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Huaming said, "Don't worry, a new courtyard with its own entrance and exit, I will definitely build it. Let's wait until after the New Year."

“The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. I’ll take you to the town market first to buy some wine and food. Last year, we ate like little tortoises with my parents. This year, let’s cook at home!” he said.

Xiaojuan glanced at the small stove set up in the corner, and nodded happily.

Xia Juan had wanted to cook a big feast for Fourth Brother with her own hands for a long time, but... I'm worried that Madam might have some objections...

“What kind of wife is she, just a yellow-faced woman!” Yang Huaming interrupted Xiao Juan directly.

"That woman, whether divorced or not, is the same. Putting her in the west wing is my last act of kindness towards her. Our marital relationship has long since ceased to exist."

As long as she doesn't go too far, I'll let her stay in our Yang family and take care of the children.

"That way, I can double-fly with you." he said.

Xia Juan's smile was like a blooming flower, she leaned into Yang Huaming's arms.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Besides, Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang's parting wasn't for a month or two, but for a full year and a half.

Twenty months, almost six hundred days!

Since they got together, they've never been apart for this long.

So, last night I hardly slept. The whole night was spent expressing our love for each other through words and gestures.

The next day, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the young couple brought gifts and their two children to Yang Huazhong's house.

He was refreshed and dignified.

She has a rosy complexion and is charmingly lovely.

This is the state that only two people in love can have.

After looking Sun Fengtang up and down for a while, Sun said, "I haven't seen you in over a year. You look darker and thinner, but you seem more capable."

>

Luo Fengtang, upon hearing this, turned his head to meet Yang Ruqing's gaze, and the two lovebirds smiled at each other.

“Mother-in-law, when I returned in such a rush, I didn’t even have time to buy any Beijing specialties to show my respect to you and your husband,”

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

"These wine, liquor, and fish are all prepared by Qing'er. Please accept them with a smile."

Luo Fengtang said, offering the gift in his hand.

Sun smiled with a loving face, “It’s the best gift for me and your father-in-law that you've come back safe and sound, my child!”

>

This touched Luofeng Tang deeply, he nodded, “Yes, mother-in-law is right.”

Yang Huazhong also came over, the man looked his son-in-law up and down, and was very pleased.

"Sister, brother-in-law, come over and have some tea and talk."

Da An's voice came from beside the table, and she gracefully turned to face this side, smiling.

Luò Fēng Tǎng raised her eyes and looked over. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"It's been over a year, and my nephew has grown so tall, almost as tall as me now." he said.

Da An smiled a little shyly.

Yang Ruqing then came to Dayan's side and Tai Qi reached out to put her arm on Dayan's shoulder.

“This kid turned sixteen this year, he's already an adult. Well, judging by his height, he’s about the same as your brother-in-law!” she said.

At the same time, Xia An also came from the backyard. He heard Luofeng Tang's voice and hurried over.

"Brother-in-law!"

Little An shouted excitedly and rushed to Luo Fengtang's side.

Twelve-year-old Xiao An was on the cusp of puberty. When he called out "brother-in-law," his voice wavered with the rhythm of changing tones.

As Luo Baobei would say, his uncle's voice sounds like ducks quacking. Hahaha.

Luo Fengtang reached out and touched Xiao An's head, looking at the young man in front of him who had obviously grown taller. There was both gratification and emotion in Luo Fengtang's eyes.

Time flies. Back when Xia An and Qinger were selling tofu together, Xia An was only a little older than Luo Baobei.

Now, eight years have passed...

How many eight-year periods are there in a person's life?

He raised his eyes and looked over the familiar and kind faces in the front hall. Each one was a member of his family. No matter how many years passed, they would always be together, that's what makes a home!

The son-in-law is a guest of honor.

Mrs. Sun called Big Mrs. Sun over to cook together, while Yang Huazhong invited Old Yang, Old Sun and Lao Tie (the blacksmith) over for a drink. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the table of wine and dishes prepared for the son-in-law today still cannot be careless.

Yang Ruqing even personally cooked, making several dishes that Luofengtang loved.

Two large tables were put together, and the whole family gathered around the table, eating hot pot and chatting happily.

After the feast was over, Luofengtang followed his usual routine and accompanied the elders in the family along with Dalian.

Yang Ruqing then went to the backyard kitchen to help Mrs. Sun wash the dishes.
