"Why? There are three reasons."

"First, there are only a dozen or so families left in Sunjiagou. The last heavy rain caused half of the hillside to slide down, burying several families' houses and killing two people."

"You can't stay in that place any longer, or you may lose your life even if you sleep at night."

"The second thing is that the mountains are too barren and life is too hard."

"Our father is getting old, and your brother's frail body is just there. If he really has to go back, the burden of food and clothing for our family of six will all fall on my shoulders."

"No matter how tough I am, I can knock down a 200-pound pig with one push, but I am a woman after all, and I can't carry it."

"This last one is also the most important one." Da Sun said.

"It's Dajie and Xiaojie."

"Dajie and Da'an are studying together in the school now. When spring comes, they will both take the scholar examination."

"After returning to the mountain, how will Dajie's studies go?"

"And Xiaojie, she's still young now, and it's still early for Mrs. Xu's family to come."

"But it's been the same this year. My daughter has to grow up and marry her husband's family."

"In the mountains, Xiaojie will always be like those women in the mountains, marrying into a poor family, giving birth to a litter of children, and then facing the loess and back to the sky, living a miserable life."

"Outside the mountains, Xiaojie followed Qing'er and the others, and her horizons expanded in all aspects."

"In the future, I will find a good family outside this mountain and have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life. Isn't that why your brother and I worked so hard to move our home away from home?"

"Oh, there's one thing I almost forgot to mention. In the mountains, if one of our parents has a headache or a fever, go and ask the doctor to climb three mountains..."

After hearing what the eldest Sun said, Sun and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other.

The two mothers had the same mood at this time, that is, the eldest Sun thought about the problem very carefully and had a far-reaching vision.

"Auntie, let's talk about this. Find an opportunity for you and my mother to go and have a good talk with Grandma Grandma." Yang Ruoqing said.

“Where your home is and where your roots are, it doesn’t actually depend on the land beneath your feet.”

"It's about where the most important family members around me live."

"We are all in Changping Village now, and this is our home. As long as we are all together, wherever we go, it will be our home."

The core of a home is not a house, but the people who live in that house.

Mrs. Sun patted her chest and laughed boldly like a man.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to persuade your grandmother-in-law."

"I want to pay off some heat, so let Xiaojie go and persuade me."

"Xiao Jie still can't persuade her. When Qing'er gives birth to the baby, the old lady will see how much her great-grandson is so lovable, and even if she sends her back to Sunjiagou, she won't even come back!" said the eldest Sun.

"Hahaha, that's good, I'll use the baby to tie Granny up later!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Mrs. Sun also laughed.

After a sumptuous meal was cooked, the matter that had been bothering Mr. Sun for the past few days was also resolved.

Yang Ruoqing was also secretly happy when she saw her mother happily setting out chopsticks and serving bowls.

After all the relatives and friends at home had paid their New Year's greetings to each other and everyone gathered together to eat and drink several times, the day soon arrived on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The sixth day of the first lunar month is Yang Ruoqing’s birthday.

This year is her sixteenth birthday.

Yang Ruoqing felt incredible when she thought that she had just celebrated her sixteenth birthday and was about to give birth to a baby in more than a month.

This has to do with age, in modern times, that is, middle school students.

It is the most brilliant flowering season for a girl.

In ancient times, it was very common to have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

You are an old girl when you are eighteen or nineteen years old. In modern times, you cannot even get a marriage certificate at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

Oops, it’s really a rule of an era, just follow the trend.

"Qing'er, don't do this at any time today. How about you just sit there like an old Buddha, waiting for us to serve you and honor your birthday?"

After breakfast, in the yard of Yang Huazhong's house, Xiao Yaxue, Cao Bamei, Yang Ruolan, and their cousin Yang Ruohe, who is now almost twelve years old, all gathered around Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Okay, okay, this is what you said, then I will be a birthday girl today."

In the backyard kitchen, Sun, Bao Suyun and others were also cooking delicious dishes in full swing.

This is the grandest birthday Yang Ruoqing has ever celebrated since she came to this world through time travel.

This time the whole family was mobilized, Yang Huazhong and Sun secretly invited Xiao Yaxue and the others over without telling her.

She knew that her father and mother must have seen the special situation this year and Tang Yazi was not at home, and were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so they wanted to make the event more lively and grand.

Naturally, Yang Ruoqing would not go against this kind intention. From the beginning to the end, the smile on her face never faded.

At night, Yan Huai'an came here covered in dust.

"Qing'er, guess what good things I brought back for you this time!"

He said with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing was having dinner with Tuoba Xian, and Xiao Yaxue and Narisong were also there.

Yang Ruoqing put down her chopsticks and looked at Yan Huaian. On the second day of the first lunar month, Mr. Yan went to a county in the east to handle a business transaction. He had not been in the village these days.

The county town to the east is where the official road to the south must pass.

Could it be...

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yan Huaian magically took out a beautifully packaged box from behind him.

"Feng Tang asked someone to send it back. My carriage broke down on the way and I almost missed it," Yan Huaian said.

"Qing'er, come on, come on, come on, open it and see what it is!"

Xiao Yaxue urged.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and took the box excitedly. Her fingers stroking the outside of the box couldn't help but tremble a little.

I thought he wouldn't bother to give himself a gift this year, but unexpectedly, he still didn't miss it.

What could it be?

She also really wanted to know as soon as possible.

So, under everyone's encouraging gazes, she took a deep breath and opened the box with excitement.

"Wow, is this the legendary birthday cake?"

Xiao Yaxue came over and shouted in surprise when she saw what was in the box.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the beautifully baked cake in front of her, about eight inches in diameter, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

This birthday cake is golden in color, and after being opened, a strong aroma of eggs and milk hits your nostrils.

She knew that there were cows in the south, and many young ladies from high-ranking and aristocratic families drank milk from childhood.

It's just that it's old and expensive.

On the cake, patterns were drawn with red, green, and gold sugar filaments.
