"Mrs. Dà Sun's words truly touched Xiaohua's heart. She nodded vigorously."

Bao Suyun and Wang Cuilian also took turns reminding her about some things, mostly concerning diet and daily life.

There, Da'an and his group arrived. Da'an said to Hua'er, "Hua'er, it's almost time. If we dawdle any longer, Feng'er will wake up."

Xiao Hua nodded, "I'm fine."

Then, Da An led Xiao Hua to the old Sun's side. Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi bowed deeply.

Sun hurried to help up Da'an, her eyes darting back and forth between Da'an and Xiaohua. She instructed, "You two living together outside, if there's anything, the couple should be reasonable and compromising. Don't argue or get into fights. You are a man and an elder brother, so you should let Xiaohua have her way more. If you can't solve anything yourselves, just write a letter to home, and I'll ask your father and sister to help come up with a solution. Don't try to bear everything alone."

“If you have a vacation during summer, come back and visit whenever you want. If you’re craving some home-preserved vegetables or dried goods, just write me a letter and I'll ask my sister to bring them to the capital...”

These reminders, in fact, have been given to Xiao Hua by her grandmother since after the New Year. Now everyone who hears them can recite them backward and forward.

But Ms. Sun couldn't help but remind him again, that if time permitted, she could have given him a whole basket of advice.

"Mother, just rest assured, I will definitely treat Flower well." Da'an glanced at the gentle and shy Flower beside him, then turned back to his grandmother and gave her this assurance.

Mrs. Sun nodded with satisfaction, then saw them off with everyone else onto the carriage behind.

Dai An and Yang Huazhong bowed to each other, then got into the carriage. Xia Hua lifted the car curtain and said to Sun Shi: "Mother, you should go home quickly. Feng'er is being accompanied by Duo'er right now. If he wakes up and doesn't see me, he will definitely cry. Duo'er alone can't soothe him. You should hurry back!"

Mrs. Sun blinked back tears and nodded, "Alright, alright, I'll go right back."

She took two steps back with her feet, her eyes still following the carriage.

In the carriage, Dagan gently pulled Xiaohua back and then lowered the carriage curtain, instructing the coachman to set off.

Two carriages gradually drove out of sight. Sun Shi turned her head and wiped away her tears.

Da Sun and Bao Suyun were speaking soothing words to her.

"Aunt Ba, our Da'an is so promising, going to the capital to become an official. How many people would envy this good fortune? You should be happy," said Bao Suyun.

Granddaughter-in-law Sun also said, "That's right. If my son Da Jie had the ability to pass the imperial examination and become an official in the capital, I would laugh myself awake in my dreams. You're crying like this, stop it quickly. This is a great occasion for our family to be honored and praised. How many people dream of this but can't achieve it!"

Mrs. Sun smiled wryly, "I used to think the same way. Seeing him study so hard when he was young, I also hoped that he could pass the imperial examinations and not waste all those years of hardship in his studies. But when it really came time for him to leave home and go so far away to work, my heart ached. I knew it was a good thing, but I couldn't help worrying, all sorts of worries, beyond my control."

"Sometimes I see Da Jie and Huang Mao, the two of them, come back every quarter for a visit, staying for three or five days. I don't know how much I envy them!"

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

Dà Sun shi waved her hand: "Every family has its own difficulties, and you don't understand my hardships."

Yang Huazhong walked over to the women and said, "Come in everyone and have some tea!"

Mrs. Sun came to her senses and quickly followed suit, greeting them: "Yes, everyone, come in for some tea."

Everyone came to see me off before dawn, helping me move my luggage. That's what friends are for.

As soon as everyone turned around, Liu's voice suddenly came from the embankment.

"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, where are Big An and the others? Have they left yet?"

Liu ran up, panting heavily and asked.

Grand-aunt Sun said, "Come on, look."

Liu followed the direction indicated by Big Sun's finger and saw only two blurred black dots at the end of her line of sight.

Mrs. Liu looked dejected: "Oh, I got up early and cooked some boiled eggs for them to take on the road as a snack. Just before they left, the old woman in the east room had a bowel movement and demanded that I empty the chamber pot. This is why I'm late! Third brother, perhaps you could hire a carriage and chase after me? At least I could send these hot eggs over."

Yang Huazhong smiled, "Fourth sister-in-law, there's no need. Da'an and Xiaohua are bringing provisions, besides, everyone has already gone far, I can't catch up even if I go."

Mrs. Sun arrived before Mrs. Liu, her face full of gratitude. “Fourth younger sister-in-law, we are deeply grateful for your kindness. Thank you for getting up early to cook eggs for them. Please take these eggs back and share them with He’er, the three little girls, and Kang.” She gestured towards inside. “Come in, let’s have some tea.”

"What are you feeding them for? I specially made this for Da'an Xiaohua, you know..."

And just like that, Liu continued her chatter and was invited into the courtyard by Sun.

Sun Shi Ai Shun poured tea for everyone, while Yang Hua Zhong brought out the snack box and invited everyone to have some snacks.

Everyone sat down to drink tea, smoke, eat snacks, and chat.

They were discussing where Dayan and Xiaohua might be now, and that they would probably reach Qingan County before nightfall.

"When they passed through Qiyuan County, wouldn't they have stopped at their fifth uncle's place to rest?" Liu asked as she shelled peanuts.

Sun nodded: "Go on, I also had them bring two sets of spring shirts and two jars of salted vegetables for Xiao An."

Mrs. Liu nodded, "That's good then. The two of them going to the capital together, they can look after each other. Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law needn't worry too much at home, just focus on taking good care of Feng'er."

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

Mrs. Sun smiled gently and fully agreed with Mrs. Liu's words.

Bao Suyun covered her mouth and laughed, saying, “It’s good that Huar goes. In fact, last year I wanted to suggest that Huar go with them, but Feng'er was still young then, just learning to walk, and we needed someone to look after him. This year Feng'er is a year older, so it’s best for Huar to go to the capital with them. These two being together, who knows? Maybe in a few months we'll hear good news!”

　　Da Sun patted her palms and said, "Su Yun's words touched my heart. These two young people should be together all the time. It's hard to have a baby if they keep apart. I'll urge my son Huang Mao to go to Lake Light County to live with Da Jie in a while. Little Shun is almost three and a half years old now. It doesn't matter whether he stays at home or goes with them; it's up to them. Anyway, last year during the New Year's Eve dinner, I gave them two a death order: this year they must give our Sun family another grandchild, either a boy or a girl. In short, we need an addition to the family, otherwise, they won't be able to come back for the New Year!"

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

Everyone was amused by Da Sun's words.

Outside, the sky was completely bright. The men and women dispersed to go home and tend to their affairs.

Lius procrastinated until the end. Sun, seeing Lius expression, guessed that she probably had something to tell her.

"Younger sister, have another cup of tea," Sun continued to invite.
