Chen Xi returned home with mooncakes.

The little guy is still sitting on the sofa obediently watching cartoons, and from time to time he will be amused by the plots in the cartoons.

Big cats have also recently taken a fond of watching cartoons.

This guy is a thief, but it is estimated that he has been in the mountains for a long time, and he has not seen much of the world, so when the little guy watches cartoons, he generally does not run around, but obediently lies next to it and watches it with the little guy.

When they see a happy place, the big cat will rub the little one with their bodies.

It's really getting more and more like a cat......

After Chen Xi came back, the gift bag in his hand immediately attracted the attention of the little guy.

I didn't even watch the cartoon, so I jumped off the sofa and ran over.

"Baba, what did you buy?"

As she spoke, she reached for the gift bag.

Seeing this, Chen Xi handed her the gift bag on the left.

This gift bag is not heavy, but it is a bit big, about the same size as Nike's medium-sized bag.

She returned to the sofa with the gift bag in both hands, and after throwing the gift bag onto the sofa with some effort, she climbed onto the sofa with some effort, and then sat down on her knees and opened the gift bag.

After opening it, she took out a box from inside.

The box is beautiful, with some cartoon characters' heads printed on it, and it looks very exquisite.

The little guy was immediately attracted and couldn't wait to open the box.

Inside, there are 12 mooncakes printed with various animal motifs.

These mooncakes are not big, smaller than ordinary mooncakes, and they are all in different colors, all of which are warm colors, and the light looks like people have a feeling of appetite.

After Chen Xi put down the other bag, he also came to the little guy and sat down.

"Yo, zodiac, do you recognize the animal on it?"

"It's a horse, it's a monkey, it's a pig, it's a rabbit!"

The little one reached out and tapped on the top of each mooncake, and then reported them suddenly, she stopped, and then took the goose-yellow mooncake in her hand.

"It's a dragon! I'm a dragon! it's mine!" the little guy giggled as he held the mooncake.

After saying that, the little guy was not polite, and took a bite directly on it.

She chewed two bites, and before she could swallow anything, she puffed out her small mouth and handed the remaining half of the moon cake to Chen Xi's mouth, and then said in a grunt: "Baba, this moon cake is delicious, you can eat it too!"

Seeing this, Chen Xi took a bite gently.

"Well, yes, cantaloupe taste. ”

This mooncake is not a traditional mooncake, the shell is a little crispy, and when you bite into it, it will exude a milky fragrance, and you can taste the sweet cantaloupe flavor when you put it in your mouth and taste it carefully.

Its filling is like glutinous rice, soft but not sticky, and it is mixed with something similar to coconut fruit, which is very delicious.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, this thing can't be regarded as a moon cake at all, but a dessert.

In Chen Xi's memory, moon cakes should be egg yolks, bean paste, five kernels, and lotus paste, although they are not as delicious as the one in his mouth, but they can eat a taste called tradition.

Maybe it was because the mooncakes were so delicious that the little guy ate three pieces in a row, and then collapsed on the sofa.

As soon as Chen Xi saw her like this, he knew that he didn't need to cook lunch today.

When you are full, you will naturally start to feel sleepy.

The little guy watched the cartoon for a while and took a nap before he knew it.

Chen Xi was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't carry her back to the bedroom, but gently covered her with a cool quilt.

But just when Chen Xi covered the little guy with a cold quilt, his mobile phone suddenly rang, which immediately startled Chen Xi, and he almost answered the phone quickly with lightning speed.

The call was made by Lin Xuan.

Chen Xi ran to the bedroom, and then said to the phone: "Hey?"

"It's me, Lin Xuan. ”

"I know, what's the matter?"

"Hmm...... It's nothing, I just want to ask, do you have any arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Her voice sounded hesitant, slow but with a rare softness.

Chen Xi thought about it for a while, but pretended to reply casually: "It's nothing, it's just that she went too far a few days ago, so I'm going to make up for her at home in the past two days, so that she can adjust, otherwise I'll have to cry for a long time when I go to school." ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Immediately after, Lin Xuan's voice became a little lighter.

"Oh, that's fine, I was going to ask you out on an outing...... It seems that it won't work, so I'll ask someone else again, that's all, happy holidays. ”

"Happy holidays. ”

……

Had dinner.

The little guy watched the cartoon for a while, and when the moon rose, Chen Xi took her to the courtyard again.

Children can't watch too much TV, so taking her out to admire the moon is also a very good choice.

So, the father and daughter sat on the swing and admired the moon as they did yesterday.

Maybe because she was in a good mood today, the little guy was chewing moon cakes while shouting for Chen Xi to tell her a story.

Seeing this, Chen Xi told her the story of Chang'e running to the moon.

There are many kinds of stories about Chang'e.

But the most widely circulated of them is nothing more than Chang'e being forced to swallow medicine and soaring into an immortal trapped in the Moon Palace.

Legend has it that after the descendant shot down the sun, the Queen Mother of the West gave him a pair of immortal medicines.

The descendants handed over the elixir of immortality to Chang'e for safekeeping, and one day, the disciple of the descendant coerced Chang'e to hand over the elixir of immortality while the descendant was away.

Chang'e didn't comply, Fengmeng threatened with his life, and in a hurry, Chang'e had to swallow the elixir of immortality.

The elixir of immortality is an immortal elixir, so Chang'e immediately turned into an immortal, floated away from the ground, and flew towards the sky.

Because this medicine was originally given to the descendants by the Queen Mother of the West, although Chang'e became an immortal because she took the immortal medicine, she could not be ranked in the immortal class because of this, so she could only stay alone in the cold Moon Palace, and never saw her descendants again.

The little guy is not very old, but he seems to understand the pain of lovesickness between men and women.

After listening to Chen Xi's story, her whole little face wrinkled, and she kept muttering that Sister Chang'e was so pitiful......

Seeing this, Chen Xi had to gently rub her little head.

In fact, there is another story of Chang'e running to the moon.

That is the version of Chang'e abandoning her husband to swallow alone, because Chang'e didn't know that this medicine was only effective if her descendants took it, so after swallowing it, she found that she was trapped in the Moon Palace forever and couldn't go back.

This is also a kind of punishment for her by the Queen Mother of the West.

Of course, this version of the legend is a bit dark, so Chen Xi didn't tell the little guy at all.

Father and daughter swing leisurely to enjoy the moon.

Meanwhile.

Afar.

In the small courtyard.

The woman in white walked out of the pavilion and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

Her long white dress shone like white jade against the bright moonlight.

The moonlight is like water, and it is also cold to the bone.

Who knows Chang'e's suffering?

……

Ten rounds of frost shadows turned to the court, and the people were alone on this night.

It may not be that Su'e has no hatred, and the jade toad is cold and lonely.

Chapter 76 Someone asked what the opening poem was for, saying that I water.

So now I'll explain, that one corresponds to this one!

The two capitals are called Mid-Autumn Moon, one is Su Shi's and the other is Yan Shu's.

Both poems have metaphors, and the metaphors aside, these two poems fit perfectly with the theme of the book.

(This kind of cultural popularization class is only taught once, because I always come out to do popular science, which will affect the reading experience of some readers, so I will not talk about it again in the future)
