“Only now do I realize that your grandfather went out without even saying a word back then, to get some meat on credit from a butcher’s house on those two hills.”

“Getting home so late, I heard your grandmother say the children drank half a bowl of vegetable porridge at night. Your grandpa insisted that your grandmother make red-braised pork with noodles for me.”

"Wow, my grandpa is so great..." Xia Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Yang Ruqing was also full of emotion.

In those days, life was so difficult. If it were any other father, with no meat, the two daughters wouldn't be spared a good beating.

But Old Sun, he didn't say a word, and quietly went to make up for it.

Such a man is a real man.

Such a man is a truly remarkable man.

Growing up under the care and protection of such a man, both her mother and aunt were undoubtedly happy, with healthy personalities and broad minds.

"That day, I counted while I ate. There were ten pieces of meat! It was the best braised pork I've ever had in my life..." Mrs. Sun murmured, her eyes reddening.

Tai Sun's eyes were also red, she sniffed and laughed a few times.

“The next morning, I also ate ten pieces of braised pork and noodles. Our parents are fair, aren’t they?” she said.

Sun nodded.

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

"Our father and mother have had a hard life. They raised the two of us, but they never had a son. Back when we lived in Sunjiaogou, people used to make fun of them."

“Now that you've married a good third husband, I've also invited your brother-in-law home to live with us, and we had a son, Da Jie.”

“Da Jie still passed the exam and became a Xiucai, bringing honor to our family. You know, last time Da Jie became a Xiucai, we went back to Sunjia Gou for a banquet. All those people who used to look down on us came over to flatter us.” Mrs. Da Sun said.

"The poor have no one to ask for help in the bustling city, while the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains. This saying is truly not false!" Yang Ruqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't that right!"

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

“Before, your grandma told me and asked about whether we should send a message to the distant relatives from our family branch in Sunjiaogou for your grandpa's 60th birthday celebration.”

“I flatly refused at the time. What kind of message should I send? Those people, unless Da Jie gets elected in the future and we have to go back and burn incense to our ancestors – then only would we tell them. Otherwise, I don't want to have anything to do with them,” said Da Sun.

Sun Shi said, "Sister, wouldn't this be inappropriate? It might offend people."

Mrs. Taisun said, "You wouldn't offend them. You didn't see their faces last time."

Yang Ruqing said, “Mother, you don’t have to worry. As expected, even if we don’t notify them, someone will definitely come out of the mountains to celebrate Ga Gong’s birthday. You can just watch at that time!”

>"If they really come, it's just a matter of putting out a few more chopsticks. It doesn't matter to me," said Dà Sun.

After recalling the bitterness, now it's time to savor the sweetness.

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

“Auntie, what are you planning for your birthday banquet this time?” Yang Ruqing asked again.

"What else can we do? It's just asking your uncle to prepare some dishes. We'll have a few tables of delicious food to welcome our relatives and friends!"

Yang Ruqing thought about it, sixty years old, in this era's material and medical level, is a longevity. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Sixty is also a stage in life. Turning sixty, for those who are able, is definitely something to celebrate.

“I’ve seen how the wealthy families in town celebrate their 60th birthdays. They put on three days of opera performances and even hire dragon and lion dancers.” Yang Ruohua continued.

"So this time, I also want to hold a really good one."

“Well well, Qing'er, what are you planning to do? Tell me about it.” said Da Sun.

Yang Ruqing thought seriously for a moment and said, "For the birthday banquet at noon on my birthday, I plan to hold it in a restaurant in town."

"Everyone here at home is accustomed to the dishes served at these banquets, they can imagine what they are even with their eyes closed."

Let's go to a restaurant, change our taste. What do you think?" she asked.

Of course Xiaojie's eyes lit up, clapping her hands excitedly.

Dazhun glanced at Sun, and Dazhun said: "This idea is good. Let's invite all our relatives and friends to a banquet hall for a meal. That way, both my wife and your mother can avoid the kitchen."

“But, with all the relatives and friends coming, including adults and children, I estimate we'll need four or five full tables! There isn't a private room at the restaurant that big!”

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

"If we divide it into several private rooms, it would lose its liveliness. What should we do?" asked Mrs. Da Sun.

>

Yang Ruqing smiled faintly.

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

“This main hall of the restaurant is big enough, don't even talk about four or five tables, even forty or fifty tables could fit here.” she said.

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

Grand-aunt Day said: "This is a good idea, but this way, we're celebrating the birthday here, making quite a commotion, and it will affect doing business!"

Yang Ruqing said, "On the eighth day of the lunar month, Chu Ba Jiu Lou is closed for business and only hosts my father-in-law's 60th birthday banquet."

“Then, we'll bring all our relatives and friends to the restaurant. Everyone can sit there, eating and drinking, and there's even a stage in the main hall for dancing.”

"They are usually used for storytellers to perform, and I will hire a troupe of actors to put on a show for me to celebrate my birthday."

"There's food to eat, drinks to have, and games to play! This is much more lively and festive than setting up a few tables at home. Mother, aunt, what do you think?"

Sun Shi listened, longing in her heart, a feeling that had already flown out.

At this moment, she didn't need an answer from her. This expression had already given Yang Ruqing the answer she wanted.

"Auntie, what do you think?" Yang Ruqing asked Da Sun again. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And Da Sun also listened intently, and upon hearing this, she came to herself, her eyes sparkling.

“My goodness, what a birthday celebration this is. I've never seen anything like it,” the woman said, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Alright, that's settled then. For the banquet and opera expenses later, Qinger, you calculate the costs, and I'll bring them to you tonight."

Upon hearing this from Grand-Aunt Da Sun, Yang Ruoxing couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Auntie, what are you saying? I and Tang'yazi have got this covered: food, drinks, and the opera."

"This won't do..."

"What's wrong? I'm my dear uncle's granddaughter!"

But...

"There's nothing to it, Gaga just gave me a scare! This chance for revenge, who's gonna fight me over it?!"

Regarding the birthday banquet, although Dà Sun, Sun, and Yang Ruohua all said they would discuss it with their respective husbands after returning home.

But this is just a way to show respect to each man.

Since several women had made the decision, the men naturally agreed.

There was no way around it, Yang Huazhong, my brother-in-law, and Luofeng Tang were all a group of men who loved their wives and valued filial piety.

Birds of a feather flock together. Good men gather in their own camps, haha...

It was night, when Sun Shi finished telling Yang Huazhong about Yang Ruohua's decision, Yang Huazhong was also full of emotion.

"Our daughter has this kind of heart, it's really great." he said.

"This way, the restaurant will lose a day's worth of business and some..." he added.
