The next day at noon, it was overcast and raining lightly.

The raindrops were light, and for the farmhouses, this amount of rain didn't hinder their work at all. The fields were filled with busy farmers.

Similarly, these raindrops naturally wouldn't be a reason for the workers to stop working.

It's nothing more than wearing a straw hat and an oilskin raincoat. Some people are even too lazy to wear a raincoat.

>

Tomorrow is Dragon Boat Festival, the weather has gotten hot basically, this drizzle falling on your body, it's quite comfortable.

At noon, Yang Ruqing and Mrs. Sun came over as usual to deliver food.

For some reason, every time Yang Ruqing walked with Mrs. Sun down the mountain carrying a basket of food, her mind would flash to the scenes from "Journey to the West" and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Qing'er, why are you smiling?"

Walking beside her, Sun turned her head and saw Yang Ruoqing smiling with pursed lips. She couldn't help but ask curiously,

Yang Ruqing said, “Nothing, I just suddenly thought of some funny things I had seen before and couldn't help but laugh.”

Mrs. Sun thought Yang Ruqing was talking about the children's childhood, and she smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Your father said that those who don't work tomorrow will have a holiday at home. We will celebrate the festival, and we will also let the long workers go home to celebrate."

Yang Ruqing nodded, "This is natural. The tavern will be closed temporarily as well. Fifth Uncle and Second Brother should be able to get home today."

Mrs. Sun said again, "Before you came this morning, your Uncle Xiang and Shengnan came over. I almost forgot to tell you."

Yang Ruqing said, "Should we send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts?"

Mrs. Sun hummed softly.

I asked them about Shengnan's father and they said he was almost recovered. It seems that Bao Banxian's method worked.

“However, because he had a high fever recently and bit his teeth too hard, his mouth got ulcerated. Today, Jin Nan accompanied him to the town clinic to see a doctor.” Mrs. Sun added.

Yang Ruqing nodded again: "It should be a fire toxin abscess, the doctor prescribed some clearing heat and detoxification medicine, it's almost enough, no problem."

Mrs. Sun said, "I talked to your father last night and we decided to wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival, and then on a double auspicious day, we'll go to Xiangjiazhuang."

“Take a gift with you. Ever since your father got sick last time, neither I nor your father have gone to visit him. We just told the two of you youngsters to go, but in the end, it was rude of us. Just happened that your father has been digging the foundation every day these days, his back aches and he's tired. Let him go visit relatives for a break.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing felt a little nervous.

“Is my father's backache severe? Does it prevent him from sleeping at night?”

“Well, he didn't tell me. I told him not to come and dig earlier. We have enough manpower already. If it wasn’t enough, I would just spend money to hire more people. As long as the money is there, there's nothing we can't do. But he insisted on doing it himself. I have no way to stop him. Mother, when you get back, please persuade him.” Yang Ruoqing frowned, a little unhappy.

Mrs. Sun smiled kindly and said, “Don’t worry too much, my dear. Every farmer has their share of aches and pains. It's nothing major.”

Yang Ruqing smiled reluctantly, but she was still a little downhearted.

This is a simple example. Please provide me with more text to translate!

Although she was wealthy and had people at her disposal, her father still wanted to do everything himself for her.

This is paternal love, a paternal love she cannot refuse.

But, she really felt sorry for her old father. When he was young, he worked hard to support the family and hurt his body. Now that he could finally enjoy some peace, he still couldn't relax. He always had things on his mind. Ah, there's nothing she could do about it!

>I can only send a few good medicinal plaster patches back to my father.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone was still busily digging the foundation. Yang Ruqing glanced around and saw that it was almost done.

Seeing the mother and daughter bring food over, Yang Huazhong quickly put down his shovel and walked towards them.

Luo Fengtang didn't come today because Yang Ruqing sent him to Wanghai County to buy things.

What to buy?

Of course, it's a gift for one's natal family during the Dragon Boat Festival!

Yang Ruqing not only had to give gifts to Yang Huazhong's family, but also to the Sun family. Besides that, she also had to prepare gifts for Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi.

Here is your text translated to English: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Of course, we'd also stock up on things for our own celebrations.

For example: the wine given to Luo Tiejiang, Wang Cuilian's favorite embroidery patterns, Tuo Ba Xian's preferred storybooks, Luo Baobei and Feng'er's food toys...

"Alright everyone, take a break and wash your hands for lunch!" Yang Huazhong shouted.

This is a placeholder. You can provide me with the text you want translated inside the <<< >>>tags and I will do my best to translate it into English for you!

Everybody was waiting for this call, so they quickly put down their tools, washed their hands hurriedly, and came over to serve the food.

Because it was raining lightly, Mrs. Sun and Yang Ruqing each held a large umbrella standing beside the food to prevent the raindrops from falling into the dishes.

Otherwise, this dish will become blander the more you eat it!

The lunch delivered this afternoon wasn't very appetizing either. There was a large pot of water spinach with pork belly and vermicelli, a large pot of chives scrambled eggs, and besides that, Mrs. Sun also specially brought a bowl of pickled sour and spicy cucumber strips she made herself.

Those cucumber strips were made from young cucumbers that had just been picked, they were so tender.

As the cucumber is pickled in brine, it gradually shrinks. When it's ready to be eaten, it's completely dried out and can be eaten whole without needing to be cut.

At this moment, Mrs. Sun picked up a bowl of pickled cucumbers with chili flakes sprinkled on top to add some zest for everyone.

That's right, Yang Ruohua saw that everyone's appetites were whetted by the dishes. One by one, they held their bowls and huddled under the trees in groups of three or five, devouring the food while chatting.

This scene, even Yang Ruqing felt her stomach rumbling. She swallowed hard.

"Qing'er, when we came to start work earlier, Yinshan came to me and said he needed a day off." Yang Huazhong held his bowl and walked in front of Yang Ruqing.

"Silver Mountain also took leave? Could he be sick too?" Yang Ruoqing casually asked.

On second thought, that's not right. If Yinshan was sick, they would send someone from their family to ask for leave instead of coming here in person.

"What's Silver Mountain taking leave for again?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Yang Huazhong said: "For his cousin Jinshan, it is said that Jinshan's illness is getting worse. Jinshan's wife begged Yinshan to help send him to the Yi He Chun Medical Hall in town, saying that the medicine prescribed by the village doctor was useless!"

Yang Ruqing nodded. "I understand."

>

This mountain of gold, what illness does it have? It's so fierce and aggressive, truly astonishing.

>

Beside them, Mrs. Sun said to Yang Huazhong, "I remember that kid from Jinshan. He was working for our family four years ago, right?"

Yang Huazhong nodded. "At that time, the two cousins came together to sign up as long-term laborers. One was called Jinshan and the other Yinshan. You even praised their names for being rich and noble back then!"

Sun smiled, “Yes, these two brothers' names are indeed rich and noble. However, this Jinshan has been sick for so long, as his master, shouldn't we take some things to visit him?”
