Yang Ruqing brought Dayan straight to Sun Lao's room.

Old Mrs. Sun had a blue-grey cloth shawl wrapped around her head, the kind of old fabric that rural women wore in winter.

Sitting in a bucket with a backrest.

He was holding a thousand-layer sole in his hand, right next to the shoe sole board.

Big Auntie's younger sister Cao Baimei sat on the side, also holding a shoe sole board and playing with it.

One old and one young, they occasionally chatted and laughed, the atmosphere in the room was very good.

“Grandma!”

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

Yang Ruqing called out in the room.

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

Sun Lao Tai lifted her head and saw that the person standing at the door was Yang Ruoqing.

The old woman was overjoyed, she put down the insole in her hand and hurried up to greet him at the door.

"Qinger, when did you get home? Why didn't you send a message beforehand? Grandma doesn't know..."

Grandmother Sun grasped Yang Ruocheng's shoulders, her excitement making her look at her from head to toe.

>

Then, the old lady frowned: "How have you been? You've lost weight, you've lost weight, your chin is sharper..."

Yang Ruqing smiled and raised her hand to touch her chin.

It's not too sharp, the lines are still pretty good.

Moreover, she herself doesn't like that kind of "snake face," it's scary.

"Grandma, I haven't lost weight. Look at my cheeks, there's still a lot of meat on them!"

Yang Ruqing giggled and deliberately puffed out her cheeks.

Dahan and Cao Baimei beside him both laughed.

However, Old Mrs. Sun glared at Yang Ruohua: “You little rascal, what would Grandma Ga say about you?”

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

"Girls, they should be fair and plump to be likable. Big butts are good for bearing children..." said Old Madam Sun.

Yang Ruqing: “...”

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

Grandma Sun was holding Yang Ruohui's hand, walking toward the hot water bucket, still chattering away, reminding her not to skip meals just because she wanted to lose weight...

Yang Ruqing sat down beside Sun Lao Tai.

No matter what Granny Sun babbled about, she smiled and listened.

He didn't show any impatience.

Because she knew that only those who truly loved her would say such things.

>

Grandma is over fifty, though she hasn't reached sixty yet.

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

But people's average lifespan in this era was far less than that of modern times.

When one marries at fifteen or sixteen, by the time they reach fifty-plus, it's already their twilight years.

Yang Ruqing listened intently, her hands gently holding Gaobo's two withered, aged hands.

This is a simple task. Just let me know what you need translated! ?

She needed to remember every look and expression Gaga had when she said these things.

These words, she wasn't able to hear them for a lifetime.

At noon, Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi came over to Grandma Ga's place with all the children.

My aunt and Cao Baba's younger sister along with Sun's family cooked a full table of dishes to welcome everyone.

We had a great meal and some drinks.

After the meal, Yang Ruqing came to the kitchen to help her aunt and the others wash the dishes.

Sun and Mrs. Sun also talked about the New Year, this year's harvest, and their plans after the New Year.

The topic, unknowingly, drifted towards Cao Baimei.

>

Sun Shi said to Yang Ruqing, "Ruqing, the eighth sister-in-law is not bad. She's diligent with her hands and feet. For the past six months, she has been helping your aunt raise pigs."

"For a young lady to associate with pigpens is ultimately not a good thing." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"How about you try to find her a job?" Sun Shi suggested.

Yang Ruqing's eyes were fixed on Cao Babai, who was washing dishes. She scrutinized her carefully.

The girl in front of me looks to be about a year older than myself.

But because of congenital genetics and postnatal malnutrition, at fourteen years old, he is only just about one meter five tall.

Visually, it's definitely no more than five feet two inches.

With her small frame, what kind of odd jobs could she do?

Yang Ruqing pondered.

Here, being sized up by Yang Ruqing like this, Cao Baimei felt a little embarrassed.

She wiped her wet hands on the apron tied around her waist and stood up.

"Qing'er, if you run into trouble, just don't assign me any tasks."

“It’s pretty good living here with my brother-in-law raising pigs,” Cao Baimei said.

But Da Sun waved her hand dismissively: "The pigpen is stuffy and smelly. We, who've been raised with love, don't mind much, but Eighth Sister, you are a young lady, and will need to consider your future husband's family."

>

"He's always so stinky, smelling like pig sweat! It's awful!" Da Sun said quickly.

"Qinger, just please help me out, Auntie begs you." Mrs. Dagu said again.

Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly.

"Aunt, what are you saying? We're family! What do we need to ask for?" she said.

Great-grandson smiled.

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

Yang Ruqing immediately walked towards Cao Baimei, softly asking her: "Baimei, I was worried letting you follow the medicinal herb gathering team that your frail body wouldn't be able to handle the hardship."

"Besides, identifying herbs and stuff requires learning from scratch, which is a bit troublesome."

"If you find it unbearable, after the New Year, go to a tavern in town and work as a waiter." Yang Ruqing said.

"Odd jobs? What kind of chores are those?" Cao Bamei asked with some curiosity.

Yang Ruqing said, "I see that you were quite meticulous when washing and chopping vegetables earlier. You could go to the restaurant kitchen to help wash and pick vegetables."

That job isn't strenuous, it's just a bit tedious and requires enough patience and attention to detail.

Here is the translation:<<<

Yang Ruqing thought it would suit Cao Bajie.

As expected, Cao Baimei was very excited after hearing this.

"Well, I can do that." she said. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He was eager and impatient, itching to go to the tavern right away.

Mrs. Da Sun and Mrs. Sun saw Cao Eight Sister's appearance, smiled at each other.

Yang Ruqing also smiled and said to Cao Baimei: “If you are in a hurry, I can arrange for you to work at the restaurant for a few days this year, so that you can get familiar with it first...”

>

Caobaimei did not nod immediately, but turned her head to look at Dajun.

>Dà Sūn shì jěng le, suí jí xiào le: "Qǐ ba qǐ ba, zhū men chū lán de shì'er, yǒu wǒ hé nǐ gē ne."

>

Cao Baimei only then happily nodded.

Yang Ruqing said again, "Tomorrow I'm going to the wine shop. Why don't you come with me?"

>

"Well, alright!" Cao Baimei nodded.

"The current manager of the restaurant is my second brother, Yang Yongjin. Have you never met him?" Yang Ruqing asked again.

Cao Baimei shook her head: "Never seen..."

Yang Ruqing suddenly realized.

>

The second brother still came back during the Mid-Autumn Festival to make a birthday cake for Lao Yangtou, and after he finished it, he rushed back to the town's restaurant that night.

“My second older brother is a very busy person, he has a lot of things to do, it's not surprising that you haven't met him.”

Yang Ruqing then continued.

"When I turn back tomorrow, I'll take you to the restaurant and introduce you all." she said.

Cao Baimei nodded again, and in her heart, towards this Yang family second cousin whom she had never met before, an unexplainable mixture of nervousness, anticipation, and awe arose.

After that, that would be your own boss.

Seeing Caobaimei joyfully going to clean the pigsty, Da Sun sighed.

"This child, life is hard for him." The woman said.

Mrs. Sun smiled and comforted her eldest granddaughter: "With a sister-in-law who cares for her so much and plans for her, this is a blessing for Eighth Sister."

Grandsun sighed, "I haven't figured out what to do for her. All I can do is help her find a job so she can support herself."
