Chapter 1317: Daily Life

"Alright, tomorrow we’ll come over at noon together. I’ll let the owner here know in a bit."These kids are truly self-disciplined. Yang Run Tai really felt quite impressed; with kids like this, it’s hard not to envision a successful future for them.

After dinner, the family took a leisurely walk back home.

Once home, they mentioned they’d had some delicious steamed dumplings and planned to return as a family to enjoy them tomorrow.

"Master Shang, you still can’t have seafood, but the cabbage and tofu ones are also very tasty."

Shang Zhenkun nodded with a smile, "Alright, even if I can’t eat, I’ll still go with you all." It’s the kids’ thoughtful gesture.

Shang Zhenkun reviewed the items he brought back. Of course, the two boys didn’t have Feifei’s accurate eye.

Jiang Feifei proudly looked at Han Xiangjun.

"Alright, my princess, rest assured. At the very least, I’ll get two paintings by Master Xu for you." Han Xiangjun promised with a smile.

This is how time passed; all the children really gained insight and even Zhao Xiaoqiang could now find good items at the Antique Street.

It wasn’t until the day before Little New Year that they decided not to go out anymore and stayed home to read.

Though they lived such simple days, they didn’t become frivolous, which greatly pleased Shang Zhenkun and Jiang Xinyu.

On Little New Year’s day, Yang Run Tai couldn’t come over because he had to return to the old man’s house for a family gathering.

This year, they were only missing Yang Zhongyi.

The meal was indeed very silent; four sons, four mothers, none held much affection for one another.

After lunch, the women left with the children, leaving only the three Yang brothers.

"Zhongyi has been unheard of, and you, as his brothers, don’t care to check on him?"

The three sons just sat there without saying a word, thinking that it’s pointless to fret over your beloved youngest; if truly interested, consider whether such concern might harm him instead.

Yang Jiu Long was just venting, looking at the three sons. "Can you get him to agree to the Tao family’s marriage proposal?"

The three still didn’t speak. What could they do? They were just on average terms with Old Fourth, so what could they possibly say?

"He Run, what about you? You’re close to your uncle. Do you have any ideas?"

"Grandpa, when things thaw out, I’ll take a trip over. I’ll go see Uncle."

"He Run, you can’t go alone." The eldest, Yang Chenggong, quickly stopped his son.

"Dad, I’ll go back with Han Xiangjun’s friends; they live in the village next to Uncle’s."

"He Run, if you don’t go, can’t you contact your uncle?" Yang Jiu Long asked.

"No, I can’t contact Uncle either. Han Xiangjun’s two friends have a good relationship with Uncle. They said they saw Uncle months ago.

Which is why I want to go over and have a look. Staying home is getting me restless."

Yang Jiu Long frowned, wondering if his grandson was feeling wronged at home. "He Run, is there anything bothering you?"

Yang Run Tai shook his head, "No. I just want to go outside and see things."

Now, no one said anything further. Actually, they all knew that within the Yang family, it was this child who held the reins.

"You all are no match for one child." The three remained silent, letting him say what he wished.

"Okay, you all may leave now. Just seeing you makes me upset." Yang Jiu Long grumbled.

Yang Chenggong stood up, "He Run, are you going home?"

"Alright, I’ll go back with you."

Yang Jiu Long wanted to say something but eventually held his tongue, watching his grandson leave with his son.

In the car, neither father nor son spoke a word. Once home, they headed straight into the study.

"What’s really going on, He Run?"

"I really just want to take a look, nothing else."

"It’s best not to meddle in Old Fourth’s affairs. It won’t be beneficial for you."

"I know, I’m just going to advise him. I can’t make him listen to me."

"When are you planning to go?"

"I’ll be going along with others, listening to their arrangement."

"Who are these people?"

"They’re capable individuals. People with great skills; Han Xiangjun made a fortune this time, and gained some fame, thanks to these two’s contribution.

Dad, don’t you read newspapers? There have been reports."

"Where do I have the time?"

"How’s their character? They wouldn’t want to latch onto our Yang family, would they?"

Yang Run Tai looked at his dad speechlessly indeed matching the external description: simple-minded but physically strong.

"Dad, if the Yang family could win them over, it would be a blessing for us."

"As long as you have a clear perspective. And make sure you stay at home."

"Alright, I’m okay with staying anywhere."

Little New Year’s evening was spent dining in each family’s own home.

Yang Run Tai looked at his pampered sister and future pampered younger brother, chuckling softly.

This life, I must guide them well, at least preventing them from becoming a burden to the Yang family.

Today, the Wei family also had an abundance of dumplings. Since the kids liked crab roe, Jiang Xinyu didn’t have it on hand. But there were shrimp.

So, the evening was filled with three-flavored dumplings that the children loved.

Master Shang only ate cabbage and meat dumplings; there was no choice, as the doctor still prohibited seafood.

The Lv family gathered together to make dumplings. The two girls and Lv Beiguang wrapped dumplings. Chaoyang rolled the wrappers, and Guodong stoked the fire.

Their dumplings were rather simple: pork and cabbage, and pork and sauerkraut fillings.

Ever since Chaoyang and Jing Chu reached their arrangement, their relationship has improved significantly, which Lv Beiguang was glad about. Chaoyang is a child of integrity, undoubtedly a good kid, and devoted to Jing Chu.

He noticed his daughter was equally special towards Chaoyang, and that’s what mattered. Whether they end up together will depend on their own fate.

Since Li Xue suspected her pregnancy, there were signs. Drowsiness, a good appetite, with everything else being fine.

She now became a class-one national treasure at home.

Everyone in the family centered around her. The five sat together eating dumplings while Guodong attended to them.

"Second Brother, can you call my second uncle and tell him I want a house with five rooms."

"Alright, I’ll call tomorrow, don’t worry about it. We can almost move in when we return."

"Yes, I’ve also been thinking about moving in. Second Brother, I’ll go with you tomorrow to call, also tell my dad about my pregnancy."

"Alright, we’ll go together tomorrow."

Li Xue was delighted, lying in Guodong’s arms that night, "Guodong, am I being too pretentious?"

"No, not at all."

"But when I think back on what I said tonight, I feel I’m too pretentious. I’m not that kind of person."

"Alright, alright, I know. Tomorrow we’ll call Dad. As for the pregnancy, maybe wait until we confirm it at the hospital before notifying Dad, what do you think?"
