Old man Yang looked at the group of people hugging each other, rubbed his eyes, and said to Master Yan: "Old Taoist, you have worked hard! Come, give me the ox rope, I will tell them to pull it to the backyard, we can go in to drink water and rest our feet!" After that, he took the ox rope from Master Yan's hand and waved to a man: "Fourth brother, come, lead the ox cart to the backyard, untie the ox and let it rest, and bring a bucket of well water to quench its thirst." He shouted to another man: "Second brother, carry the backpack, go to the river, and cut some grass for the ox!" Then he pulled Master Yan towards the main room, walked a few steps, turned back and said: "Big brother, why are you standing there? Go and fetch some water."

Master Yan reached out and touched his completely white beard, and said awkwardly, "Brother Yang, don't be angry. I'm not a Taoist priest, I'm a doctor. The situation was urgent back then, so I had no choice but to pretend to be a Taoist priest."

After hearing this, Old Man Yang paused, turned around to look at his clever seventh granddaughter, patted Master Yan on the back, and said in a friendly manner, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. As long as Xi'er is well, it doesn't matter if you are a Taoist priest or a doctor, you are my family's benefactor!"

After hearing this, Master Yan laughed out loud!

Yang Songshu, the eldest of the Yang family, quickly took out two earthenware bowls, poured two bowls of boiled water, and said with a smile, "Master Xier, drink some water!"

Old Man Yang raised his bowl of water and took a sip, then said to Boss Yang, "Let's go to the county and buy some meat and a pot of wine. I want to thank Master Xier very much!"

Boss Yang said without turning his head: "I understand, Dad, Master Xier, you guys sit down and chat slowly, I'll go make some arrangements!" He turned and left the main room to make arrangements for dinner.

Everyone in the yard stood and watched for a while, and finally Old Lady Yang reacted and said, "Old Fifth, take your wife and children back! The others can do what they need to do. Old Eldest Wife, go cook. We'll have steamed white rice for tonight. We'll also kill a chicken. Mingjiang, run quickly and go to the county to buy some meat and a pot of wine. We'll have a good meal tonight!"

The eldest daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to prepare cooking, the second daughter-in-law turned around and went to the backyard to catch chickens, and the fourth daughter-in-law picked up the basket that the eldest sister-in-law had just used to fill the vegetables by the well and walked towards the vegetable garden. She also had to pick some vegetables, otherwise there would not be enough to eat!

The other young guys, girls, and children all followed their mothers and did what they had to do!

Yang Laowu pulled his wife aside, took Yang Mingxi's hand and said, "Baby's mother, go back to the room, let's talk about it in the room, let Xier rest!" Turning to the child beside him, he said, "Mingmo, take your brothers and sisters back to the room!"

A large group of people rushed towards the west wing near the main house!

The Yang family's house looks like the Chinese character "口", but it's a fatter one. It's a bit like the old Beijing courtyard houses. Facing the main gate is the main house, which has exactly 7 rooms. The middle one is the main hall. The first room to the west of the main hall is the bedroom of Old Lady Yang and Old Man Yang. There is a small courtyard at the back with two side rooms where Old Man Yang, who is not married yet, lives. The two rooms to the west of Old Lady Yang's bedroom are occupied by the second wife. There is a small courtyard at the back with four more side rooms and side rooms, which is barely enough for living! The three main rooms to the east of the main hall, plus the five side rooms and side rooms in the small courtyard behind the main house, are where the eldest wife's family lives.

There are four rooms in each of the east and west wing rooms, with a small courtyard behind every two rooms. There are also four rooms in the side rooms and back wing rooms, and each small courtyard is separated by a wall! The east wing room, which is close to the main room, is occupied by room three, and room four lives next to it. The west wing room, which is close to the main room, is occupied by room five, and room six lives next to it.

Back in the room, Mrs. Wu pulled Yang Mingxi to sit around the table, pointing to the children standing in a row and said, "Xi'er, this is your eldest brother Minghu, the third in line. This is your second brother, Mingyang, the fifth in line. He is a twin with your eldest sister. Your eldest sister Mingyin, the third in line, is already married. Your third brother Mingyu went to your eldest sister's house and is not at home. He is the eighth in line. This is your second sister, Mingmo, the fifth in line. And then there is you, you are the seventh in line." Mrs. Wu paused, pointed to the three little kids next to her, and said, "This is your fourth brother. He was just over a year old when you left, the eleventh in line. These are your fifth brother and fourth sister, born after you left home. They are the fifteenth and tenth in line respectively. There is also a two-year-old brother, the seventeenth in line, who is your sixth brother. He was taken away by your third brother. There is a baby lying on the bed. He is the nineteenth in line, your seventh brother."
