How is it going? How did you communicate with Dazhi?

In Tubo Xian's room, Yang Ruocheng was being questioned by Tubo Xian.

Yang Ruqing gently shook her head.

"Mother, I didn't talk to him about the dolls. But I can be certain of one thing: that doll was Big Zhi's doing." she said.

"Aren't you the one who was supposed to go talk to him? Why are you backing out now?" Tuoba Xian asked, puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing's fingers were tightly clasped together. She took a moment to organize her thoughts and then truthfully recounted what she had seen in the Dashi window, telling Tubaba Xian everything.

Tuoba Xian was astonished after hearing this.

"Goodness gracious, what has happened to Dazhi? How could he become like this?" Tubo Xian asked.

“From a young age, I've always been quiet and shy. But how come I'm so aggressive behind the scenes?”

“That set of Four Treasures of the Study was brought back from the capital by his great-uncle, Da'an, last time. He had one set, and Chener had another set. They were exquisite things! How could he be so careless?” Tuo Ba Xian became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her face flushed with anger. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Ruqing said, "Mother, don't get excited, take deep breaths, deep breaths."

Tuobah Xian leaned back against a large pillow and took a deep breath.

Yang Ruqing gently stroked Tuoba Xian's chest and helped her regulate her breath, saying softly, "I've already made up my mind. After the new year, I'll send him to the academy in town to study."

"He's nine years old after the New Year, let him stay at the school in town and come back once a month." she said.

Tuoba Xian said, "You might as well give him some silver and send him back to his hometown in Yangzhou."

Hearing this, Yang Ruqing suddenly raised her head and looked at Tuoba Xian, "Mother, sending him back is not a good idea!"

“He grew up here, and the old home in Yangzhou is a complete stranger to him. Besides, this child has lived with us like this now, if we send him back, how will he survive?”

Tuoba Xian's eyes were dull as she said, "Give me money, and life will naturally get better."

"Buy a house for Da Zhi in his hometown and set up two shops for him to collect rent. The rent will ensure that he has enough food and clothing."

Yang Ruqing shook her head again, "No, Mother, it's not that bad yet. Even if we really have to send him back, we should wait for Tang Yazi to return and discuss it with him before making a decision!"

She stood up and said, "After the New Year, I will send Dazhi to the school in town. If he's still not good enough, I'll send him to the school in the county!"

"Mother, rest well. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Yang Ruqing hurried away.

Looking at Yang Ruqing's embarrassed and fleeing figure, Tubo Xian sighed, closed her eyes, and lay back down again.

Luo Fengtang wouldn't be able to go home for the New Year this year. That was a certainty. When Yang Ruqing told Tuoba Xian and Luo Tiejiang about it, they had all anticipated it, but their expressions betrayed a hint of disappointment.

But, this disappointment didn't last for a few days before happiness came again.

Because, Dayan and Chen'er came back from the capital together.

This is far more grand and joyous than the Chinese New Year celebrations, compared to Yang Huazhong's house and Lao Luo's family!

When Da'an and Chen'er came back, it was just the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Dàsun family had slaughtered a pig, so in the evening, their main hall was filled with three tables, inviting the old Yang family, the old Luo family, Huang Maoniang's family, and some acquaintances from the village to come over for a killing pig feast.

On Yang Ruqing's side, besides Tuo Bu Xian, everyone else has gone.

Yang Ruqing had gone ahead to cook for Dayun Shi. Dayun Shi said to Yang Ruqing, "It's been a year and a half, Chen'er has grown taller again. Last time he was half a head taller than Da Zhi, but this time he's almost a whole head taller!"

"These two children, they seem to be older than Da Zhi's age, don't they?" she asked.

Yang Ruohong is now most worried about others gossiping about Da Zhi, especially when Da Zhi is nearby, she becomes even more worried about people talking about him.

Because Da Zhi is simply too sensitive...

Therefore, when the uninformed bystanders were discussing Da Zhi and comparing him with Chen'er, Yang Ruoqing simply smiled and steered the conversation in a different direction.

This surprised Da Sun somewhat: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Your aunt-in-law is talking to you. You said Chen'er and Zhi..."

"Auntie, don't keep staring at them. They are all family, there's nothing to say." Yang Ruqing smiled and interrupted again.

"You still tell me, among those who came to eat the killing pig feast today, which one is from Zhang's family?" she asked again.

When asked about the Zhang family, Da Sun's mood turned sour.

"This morning, your uncle went to town to buy groceries and stopped by Zhang's house to invite them over for the killing pig dinner tonight. Look, that man with greasy hair, big eyes, and thick lips over there is Zhang Ban's father. He's representing Zhang's family!"

The way Tai Sun described Zhang Ban's father in this side story made Yang Ruoqing's eyes widen. She was suddenly very curious to see what he looked like.

After finishing the slaughtered pig feast, the Sun family escorted Da'an back home to enjoy a reunion.

Yang Ruqing naturally hurried back home with Chen'er. After entering the house, Chen'er said to Yang Ruqing, "Mother, you and your sister, as well as Da Zhi brother, go back to the backyard first. I want to go sit in my grandmother's room for a while and have a chat with her."

Luo Baobei grabbed hold of Chen'er's arm and said, "Big brother, I'm going with you!"

Then, Luo Baobei turned his head and asked Dazhi, “Big brother Dazhi, Chen’er brother and I are going to play with Nanny for a while. Do you want to come with us?”

Da Zhi managed a smile and said to Luo Baobei, "I'm a bit tired. I'll come again tomorrow."

But, Baby Luo tilted her head and said with a pure look, “Big Zhi brother, you haven’t gone to that room for milk in quite a while…”

>Tai said, "Is that so? Oh, I was too busy studying."

"I'm going back to my room to sleep now, I'm so tired, Mother, goodbye!"

He bowed respectfully to Yang Ruqing and then turned to leave.

Chen'er stopped Dazhi: "Dazhi brother, should you go back alone tonight? Little brother will see you off first?"

Dazhi glanced at Chen'er and shook his head. "I can go back to my own house with my eyes closed, I don't need to trouble you, Brother Chen'er."

After saying that, Da Zhi turned and walked away without looking back.

Chen'er looked at Da Zhi's departing figure, completely bewildered.

"Mother, is Big Zhi unhappy about something?" he asked Yang Ruohua.

Yang Ruoqing came to her senses and quickly smiled at Chen'er: "No, he's fine."

"What's so good about it?" Luo Baobei pouted. "Big Zhi is now cold to everyone, and he doesn't play with me much anymore. Once I went to his room and saw that he was sulking for some reason. His eyes looked so fierce that I'm gradually afraid to go to his room to find him."
