These clothes and food were carefully prepared by the two families of Dàsun and Sun for Old Mr. Sun.

These things, if discounted into silver, would easily amount to over a hundred taels!

It can be seen that everyone respects and feels sorry for Old Sun. Everyone worries that when Old Sun goes back to his home, he will face a difficult situation with such a poor family background, so they might go hungry. Therefore, even though everyone knows that Cui'er's family of three has come to rely on Old Sun's help to enjoy these resources, everyone still lets Old Sun take the supplies with him.

"Brother, take this money. It's a little something from your younger brother!"

Over there, Little Old Sun's voice came.

Yang Ruqing looked up and saw the two old men standing together, holding hands. Little Sun stuffed a pouch filled with silver into Big Sun's hand, but Big Sun was desperately refusing it.

"The children have loaded me up with all these trinkets and baubles. You don't need to give me any money, not a single cent! I won't spend it anyway, there's nowhere to spend it in that godforsaken mountain village. By the time I get there, those animals will just squander it all. I don't want your money, no!"

Old Sun's attitude was unusually firm.

Little Old Man Sun was truly at his wit's end. He could only turn to others for help.

The others were helpless too, and everyone felt that Old Sun's words were very reasonable.

In the past, all the money I gave to my grandfather, was swindled away by Cui'er's parents using emotional manipulation.

“They’ve taken all my savings! This time, I'm going to fight them to the death. If they remain lost and confused, when I die, just send word, and you can come collect my body. I won’t even rely on them anymore, not even for a simple broken vase from Little Jade's father!” Old Sun roared angrily.

Little Lao Sun hurriedly said, "Brother, don't say those unlucky words. You've been out in the mountains these days and your body is adjusting well. The doctor said that if you go for another three or five years, there will be no problem!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Uncle Fu did say so, and in Yang Ruoqing's understanding, these few months that Old Mr. Sun had been living at his grandson's house outside the mountain were essentially like being in a nursing home.

Well-nourished, timely medication, and a cheerful mood have all elevated the old man's vitality to a new level!

Yang Ruoqing walked over and pointed to her bundle of cloth towards the old Sun, saying: "Grandfather Sun, Ruoqing didn't prepare anything good for you. This bundle contains several packets of medicine, all tonic remedies you need in your daily life. They are already prepared; when the time comes, just boil them with water."

“By the way, there are also five people participating. I sliced it thinly for you. You can just soak it in hot water and drink it...” Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

For elderly people, the most indispensable things around them are various emergency medicines and nourishing tonics. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Ruqing's package of help arrived just in time, like a warm blanket on a snowy day.

"Qing'er is so thoughtful! I completely forgot about this. This medicine is really good, I must take it with me."

Then, Big Sun took Yang Ruohua's package and quickly sent it to the mule cart at the back, asking Xiaojie's father to load it together.

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

Thus, Yang Huazhong, Luo Tiejiang, and Xiao Jie's father escorted Old Master Sun back to Sunjiagou.

When I left, I told my family that I would be sending someone to Sunjiagou today. Three people will stay at the old man Sun's house tonight to keep him company and help tidy up his place. We will come back tomorrow.

When the donkey cart was about to depart, Little Old Sun's head still cried.

“I also want to go to Sunjiaogou and stay with my brother for a couple of days.” Little Lao Sun said, about to return to the house to change his shoes. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dà Sūn shì lán zhù xiǎo lǎo Sūn tóu.

"Father, don't you remember twisting your ankle just a few days ago? The medicine plaster is still on, and Uncle Fu has to come over every night to give you acupuncture. You shouldn't go out now, wait until the Winter Solstice when we can both return to Sunjiaogou together." she said.

Little Old Sun wiped the moisture from the corner of his eye and said, "I don't know why, but looking at your uncle walking away, my heart suddenly felt empty and uncomfortable."

Grand-aunt Da Sun said, “I understand, I understand all of it. You've been together for quite some time now, sleeping in the same room at night. It’s only natural that you wouldn’t be used to Uncle taking such a sudden departure. Just wait a couple of days and it will be fine. Come on, Father, let me help you back to your room to rest for a while.”

Da Sun and her sister, the Sun sisters, supported their old grandfather on either side as they returned him to the courtyard.

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Yang Ruoqing was filled with emotion.

This is the end of a paragraph.

The elder Gaga is nearly seventy, and the great elder Gaga is already seventy-six or seven. He is considered elderly.

At this age, it's true that seeing one another less often is a reality. You never know when it might be the last time you see someone. So it's understandable that Ga Gong feels sad, and Yang Ruohua herself feels a bit melancholy as well.

The next day, Yang Huazhong and they returned from Sunjia Gou.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Da Sun, called her mother-in-law, Sun, over to help cook lunch. At noon, she invited the blacksmith Luo Tiejiang and his friends over to eat at her house, Yang Ruqing was also there.

At the dinner table, even Lao Sun, who usually enjoyed a few cups of alcohol, had no interest in drinking. He was there with Yang Huazhong and Xiao Jie's father, incessantly asking about Lao Da Sun's condition.

Yang Huazhong said, "Father-in-law, please rest assured. We will place Uncle in your old family home and he won't live with Cui'er's parents. All the bedding in the good rooms has been changed, and we've also had a cousin, Hanzi, and his wife come from Sunjia溝 to look after him."

"Every day, the silly son-in-law went to chat with his uncle. His wife sent two meals a day to his uncle and washed their clothes once every two days. In a month, they gave the couple two taels of silver, and the couple were very happy!"

Lao Sun heard this and nodded repeatedly: "Danzi has been without parents since he was young. It was me and his uncle who raised him. Because he is honest and kind, we called him Danzi. His wife is also an honest person. The two of them are good people. If you spend some money to let them go there every day, I'll feel at ease and won't worry about Cuier's parents mistreating your uncle."

Both Da Sun and Sun exchanged glances, the sisters letting out a breath of relief.

“Father, luckily we repaired our ancestral home before returning. We have a place to stay every year when we go back to burn incense and now we can even accommodate Uncle in our old house, which is simply the best.” Dagu said excitedly.

“A tree stands a thousand feet tall, its leaves return to their roots. No matter where we go, our ancestral home can't be left abandoned. When I, your old man, pass away a hundred years from now, you'll all have to come back there too!” Old Sun said.

This statement was a bit poignant, Sun's eyes were even red.

“Father, you mustn't say those things. You promised to stay with us!” Mrs. Sun said in a trembling voice.

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

Though they were both well over forty, having become grandmothers themselves, before Old Sun, the daughters-in-law remained the same soft and protected little girls.

Old Sun smiled affectionately at his grandson, "Your father is still coming. Don't worry!"

“Xiaojie’s father, what about Cuier and her family of three? Will the villagers agree to let them return to Sunjiagou?” Dàsun asked.

Xiaojie's father said, "We don't know about that. Uncle also told us not to worry, let things take their natural course. If they really can't come back, then it's just as well. They brought this upon themselves!"

The eldest grandson, Mrs. Da Sun, nodded repeatedly, "Well then, let's just leave it at that for now. Everyone, eat and drink!"
