The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Ziqiao, who was going to spend the holiday with his parents, heard his parents say that they would go back to the village together for the festival, saying that there would be more people.

Since they were going to come to the village for the festival, Zhao Ziqiao planned to take Zhao Hao to buy some fruit snacks and moon cakes. However, when Zhao Yunfang knew that Zhao Ziqiao was going to buy moon cakes, she immediately stopped him, saying that you can make moon cakes yourself.

When Zhao Ziqiao heard this, he also remembered that he made it himself at home when he was a child, and he didn't say that he insisted on buying moon cakes.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Andy Zhao and Liu Fang came with large and small bags, and after chatting for a while, they planned to start making moon cakes, of course, this only included Zhao Yunfang and Liu Fang.

Zhao Shandong, Zhao Ziqiao and his father walked out and went around the village, Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao were not surprised, and were arrested by Zhao Yunfang.

Zhao Yunfang and Liu Fang are responsible for mixing noodles, flour and milk powder, Zhao Yunfang had already prepared it the day before, and now that life is good, she uses milk powder.

The two added the prepared flour and milk powder mixture to the softened syrup, and then chatted and made noodles, while Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao were assigned to divide the fillings of the mooncakes.

There are two kinds of fillings for preparing the package, Wu Ren's and bean paste, Wu Ren's filling, I bought it, although I can also make it myself, but it is too troublesome, so Zhao Yunfang asked Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao to buy it back. The bean paste filling is homemade, and the raw materials such as red beans are all produced by themselves, so they are safe and healthy no matter how you eat them.

Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao were a little big in the face of the two pots of fillings, how could they eat so many of them with just a few people? But when they saw the two women who were making noodles, they could only silently divide the fillings.

Dividing the filling into portions is actually very simple, just hold it into a small ball with your hands, but you have to divide it according to the size of the grinding tool, otherwise the filling is too big and cannot be transferred into the mold at all.

After the two of them divided the fillings into small portions and placed them on the table, Zhao Yunfang and the others also finished the work of mixing the noodles, put the towel on the basin, and waited for the noodles to wake up for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, several people began to relax for a while, eat and chat, and the time passed unconsciously.

After Zhao Yunfang felt that the dough could wake up, she beckoned the three of them to continue to work, she was responsible for dividing the dough into small balls, and Liu Fang took the small dough and rolled it into a dough shape.

They got it done here, and Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao took these doughs and wrapped the fillings they separated, just like making dumplings, leaving no gaps.

The four of them temporarily divided the labor like this, and after all the dough and fillings were wrapped, Zhao Yunfang took out two moon cake molds from home, one for her and Liu Fang, and one for Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao.

In order that the moon cake will not have a crack and leak when baking, Zhao Yunfang asked Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao to press the sealing place inside, that is, on top of the finished moon cake, even if there is a crack when baking, there will not be too much problem.

Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao made it according to the standard, and making this moon cake seemed to have found the feeling of New Year's printed glutinous cake, but they didn't feel boring.

After working until noon, the four of them had brought out the mooncakes, and the rest was ready to be baked.

However, Zhao Yunfang was not in a hurry to take it to bake, and began to prepare for lunch, after lunch, Zhao Ziqiao thought that Zhao Yunfang was going to start baking moon cakes, but she still didn't see her do it, and waited until about three o'clock in the afternoon before she beckoned Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao to go to the fire.

In the countryside, there are no ovens, and if you want to bake something, you only rely on charcoal or firewood.

But now that the conditions have improved, tin foil used to bake things can be seen everywhere, so after Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao burned the firewood, Zhao Yunfang and Liu Fang came over with an iron plate covered with tin foil.

The two put this thing on the wood stove, added a discarded iron bucket to it, and then covered it with the lid of the iron pot, and this simple oven was completed.

After all, the temperature generated by the addition of firewood is the key to determining whether these moon cakes can be baked, and they don't have to worry about letting Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao mix it.

Zhao Ziqiao and Zhao Hao didn't have to worry about the aftermath, they just ran away, and hid directly in the house to play with their mobile phones, quite like big smokers who had a few dollars of broken silver in hand during the Qing Dynasty.

After a busy afternoon, the aroma of the mooncakes permeated the room, and the baked mooncakes were not worse than those mooncakes on the market.

Zhao Hao was a little greedy, so he took the lead in picking up a mooncake and eating it, and after taking a bite, he directly found Zhao Yunfang and Liu Fang to praise their good craftsmanship, and coaxed the two of them to laugh when they made dinner.

At night, the weather is slightly cool, and the two families gather around the dinner table, enjoying the fruits of the day's labor, and their faces are full of smiles.

At the end of the meal, the movement of ceremonial flowers sounded outside the house, Zhao Hao heard this movement, and immediately ate the remaining mouthful of rice in the bowl and ran directly outside the house.

Seeing Zhao Hao's movement, everyone else laughed, and Zhao Dehua proposed: "Let's move a table and go outside to eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon!"

His proposal was immediately approved by everyone, the man moved the table and chairs, and the woman held moon cakes and snacks.

Put down the tables and chairs in the middle of the courtyard, put moon cakes and snacks on them, and a few people sit down, and it is also fun to be under the moonlight.

"Bang!

Two loud bangs in a row exploded in the sky, and red and yellow fireworks burst out in the air, reflecting half of the sky.

"This is Zhao Wu's family, right?" Seeing the location of the fireworks, Zhao Shandong said.

"I guess it was put by their family, and I heard that his son is back. Hearing Zhao Shandong's words, Zhao Yunfang also spoke.

Although there is a blank scene of young and strong laborers in the countryside, there are many people who have become rich, and there are no young and middle-aged people on weekdays, but every holiday, people living in the city will go back to the village to spend time with the elderly.

And whenever this time, the fireworks have become a kind of subconscious comparison, more like announcing that everyone has money in their families!

However, this situation is still a minority! Most people only solve the problem of food and clothing at home, and take the money to burn for a while, not everyone has this attitude!

Two or three minutes later, the fireworks in the sky disappeared, Zhao Hao looked a little uneasy, got up from the squatting place, and said to Zhao Ziqiao: "Brother, we should buy a few big flowers and put them back! ”

Zhao Hao said this Zhao Ziqiao smiled and said nothing, he doesn't care about this money now, a table-sized gift flower is only seven or eight hundred yuan, buy a few back, and then buy some small ones back, more than three thousand yuan in one trip, enough for him to put it for a while, but if he really buys it back, not to mention how his parents will nag, Zhao Hao's parents alone will find him and say.

As soon as Zhao Ziqiao thought of this, Zhao Yunfang had already begun to say that Zhao Hao was here.

"You think the money is blowing in the wind? You don't need money to put a few gift flowers? Besides, it's your brother's money, what do you think? If you kid can make money, I can buy as many gift flowers as you want, and now you can't make money, and you're still thinking about this and that, can you still get some serious business?"

Seeing Zhao Hao being trained, Zhao Ziqiao secretly laughed on the side, he didn't answer just now, it was really the right choice!

"I'm not talking about it!" Zhao Hao replied weakly after being reprimanded by his own mother like this.

Zhao Hao didn't reply, and it was possible that Zhao Yunfang would have passed when she said it, but now that Zhao Hao replied, she was angry again. "If you can make as much money as your brother, even if you learn from Zhao Jinfu in the village on that street, I won't care about you, you don't make a few cents all year round, are you embarrassed to say?"

Street Village is a village not far from Zhao Ziqiao's village, there used to be a street between several villages, and that village was later developed along that street, so the name of the village is called this. And Zhao Jinfu is a big figure in that village, more than 10 years ago, his mother's birthday, he directly called someone to pull a cart of ceremonial flowers back to put it, forced to put nearly a point, it is said that the money of this gift is tens of thousands, you must know that at that time, the money is really money!

was compared by Zhao Yunfang with Zhao Jinfu and Zhao Ziqiao, Zhao Hao decisively chose to be silent, now he can't compare to the two, and if he provokes Zhao Yunfang again, he will be counted out if he doesn't do it well.

When everyone saw that Zhao Hao was speechless, they also laughed, and began to distribute moon cakes, each holding a piece of moon cake in their hands, and chatting about family life by moonlight.

Zhao Ziqiao took a bite of the moon cakes in his hand, the taste was not much different from the moon cakes in the world, but these were made by his own hands, and there was a slight difference.

Now he is not looking forward to the festival as much as he was when he was a child, and the things he eats during the festival are only tasted like this now, but today, Zhao Ziqiao chews the moon cake in his mouth, and he still feels good.

In the sky, the bright moon is in the sky, the family members under the moon sit opposite each other, talking about trivial and interesting things in their mouths, eating the moon cakes made by themselves in their mouths, laughing from time to time, and listening to a few stubborn insect chirps, this feeling is very beautiful!

If you think about it, it seems that there has not been such a quiet and peaceful scene for a long time, and since high school, this kind of family gathering scene seems to be becoming less and less.

Beautiful scenery, mellow family, two care!

Zhao Ziqiao's face was soft, and his smile was pure!

Peace of mind, my family!
