She thought about it for a moment, then turned and went to the dining hall next to the kitchen. She made a bowl of sweet water for Liu Shi.

“You came on an empty stomach this morning, didn't you? Here, have some sugar water.” she said.

Liu glanced at the sugar water. It was indeed tempting.

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

As usual, she would have finished it by now, and even proactively asked Mrs. Sun for more sugar water.

But at this moment, thinking of his long and arduous goal, Liu Shi gritted his teeth and endured it.

“No, I'll do something small for your sister-in-law. How could I ask you to make sugar water for me? Then what would I be?” Liu seemed a little annoyed.

She then said to Sun, "Third sister-in-law, we are close sisters-in-law, family! Helping each other out a little is only natural within the family,"

“Go ahead and get busy. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be back home to cook for the kids when it’s almost time for breakfast.”

After saying that, Liu turned her head and continued to busy herself.

Sun Shi was helpless, standing there dumbfounded, watching. Finally, she could only turn around and go back to the front yard.

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

I wanted to seek help from Yang Ruqing, but then I thought it was still early, and my daughter and son-in-law were probably still asleep. It wouldn't be convenient to wake them up.

Sun could only stew in her unhappiness and began to eat less at breakfast. She didn't know when Liu had left, because Liu hadn't even come over to say goodbye.

“This...”

Yang Ruqing looked at the neatly stacked firewood under the wall of the courtyard and was also surprised.

This is a lot of work.

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

"This Aunt Four, she really went all out this time, huh?" She muttered to herself. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sun said, "Whoever comes in through the wall, tell her father to rebuild it so she can't come in anymore."

“Always flipping like that, if you don't stand steady and fall down, you could break a bone or something. The blame for that would be on us, thinking about it makes me uneasy.” Mrs. Sun added.

>

Yang Ruqing nodded. "There's no need for my father to bother, Tang Yazi is free this afternoon. I'll go call him over and have him fix that place up."

Of course, the wife's words work.

Soon, Luofengtang came and repaired the courtyard wall.

Yang Ruoqing sized up the height, nodding secretly. This way, Si Shen wouldn't be able to climb in anymore.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can translate between many languages! ?

To her surprise, the next morning when Sun Shi got up again, she saw Liu Shi shoveling pig manure in the backyard.

Sun really jumped in fright.

“Fourth younger sister, where did you come in from again?” asked Mrs. Sun.

Liu stopped her movements, stood up straight, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Third Sister-in-law, you're really something! You act so distant with me. You even repaired the wall. What should I say to you?"

Liu's voice carried a hint of resignation.

However, Sun's attention remained fixed on the question they had just raised.

“Fourth younger sister, where did you come from?” Mrs. Sun asked again.

If Fourth Sister-in-law can come in, then the thief can also come in. This is too scary.

Mrs. Liu feigned a mysterious smile, her eyes twinkling, “If I tell you, later you'll find another excuse to keep me out!”

Sun Shi was both amused and exasperated. “Fourth sister-in-law, don't tease me! Just tell me already.”

Liu pursed her lips and made up her mind not to speak.

>

Sun Shi continued to ask for a while, but got no answer. Unable to get any more information, she had to return to the front yard in disappointment.

In the morning, Yang Ruqing came over with Luo Baobei and Dazhi. She was carrying an empty basket and a bamboo pole in her hand.

"Mother, your granddaughter wouldn't go to sleep last night. She kept saying she wanted to eat the persimmons from Grandma's courtyard," she said as soon as she entered the room.

Mrs. Sun hurried to greet them, she took Luo Baobei's hand and smiled lovingly, "The persimmons are ripe, you can eat them now, come on, Ga Po, mash some persimmons for my little sweetheart!"

>

Mrs. Sun was beating persimmons, and the top of the bamboo pole was still attached to a small net bag.

The fallen persimmons drop into the small net bag, so they won't hit the ground and break.

Sun placed the persimmons on a net bag and extended it towards Yang Ruqing. Yang Ruqing carefully took the persimmons out of the net bag and put them into the basket she was carrying.

At this moment, a soft layer of straw has been laid in the basket. The persimmons are placed right in the straw.

When one layer is full, cover it with a layer of straw, and then continue to put the persimmons on top.

In this process, Baby Luo and Dashi had long been impatient to eat.

Yang Ruqing picked two persimmons that were already ripe, peeled off the soft outer skin, and put them into two small bowls. Then she handed them two small spoons.

Whether it's mangoes brought back from the south or locally grown mangoes and watermelon,

Yang Ruqing would always feed them this way. If she let them hold it in their hands and gnaw on it themselves,

That would truly be like eating a cat with its face turned into flowers, and the clothes on his body, his hands, everywhere would be like an open dyeing workshop.

The color is hard to wash out of the cotton fabric.

The two little fellows had also gotten used to Yang Ruoqing's way of eating. The two of them held their small bowls and sat on the small stone benches in the yard, enjoying their meal with gusto.

After all, they are children over five years old. Their nature of loving to play cannot be changed.

>

As I was eating, I started acting strangely.

Both of them scooped the persimmon flesh from their own bowls and fed it to each other. Their clumsy feeding method resulted in both of them with eyebrows, eyes, noses, and cheeks stained red with juice.

A basket overflowing with persimmons was placed on the table in the main hall, and Xiaohua Xiaodu took the two children who had finished eating to the backyard to wash their hands and faces.

This is a simple request. Please let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruoqing supported Mrs. Sun and sat her down, "Mother, I see your face isn't looking well. Come, sit down and catch your breath."

As soon as Mrs. Sun's rear touched the bench, she sighed again.

"Mom, what's wrong? If something's bothering you, don't keep it bottled up, tell me." Yang Ruoqing continued.

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

and tiptoed behind Mrs. Sun, gently kneading her shoulders.

Mrs. Sun's shoulders are not very good and often ache. When it hurts badly, she feels like her neck can't bear her own head.

Yang Ruqing took Mrs. Sun to the Yihechun Medical Hall in town for a checkup. Although the old doctor spoke from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective,

But transformed into Yang Ruohqing's understanding, it just became 'rotator cuff tendinitis'.

This should be related to when Mrs. Sun had her confinement period before, and before it was over, she often carried a full load of clothes to the pond to wash.

A lifelong illness has taken root in my shoulders.

For this condition, it can only be controlled and alleviated by taking medication and doing some physical traction.

In this day and age with the current level of medical care, healing?

It is almost impossible.

Therefore, whenever she has the chance, Yang Ruqing will proactively massage Sun's shoulders to ease her discomfort.

"Mother, if you have anything on your mind, just tell your daughter. Let's think about it together, okay?"

Yang Ruqing was rubbing Sun's shoulders while patiently coaxing her, like she was soothing a child.

Enjoying the comfortable sensations coming from her shoulders, Sun's body relaxed and her heart felt lighter.

"I'm still thinking about your Aunt Four." she said.

“It’s really a difficult situation, I don’t know what to do!” she said again.
