Chapter 112: Honoring the Moon
Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family is coming and going. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the guests left, Tang's mother looked at the pile of mooncakes sent by the guests and worried, "How many years and months will you have to eat so much?" ”
Tang Yu glanced at those moon cakes, it was indeed a bit much. She said to Tang's mother, "You can't eat it until the year or month, the shelf life of moon cakes is so short, and when you eat it in what year and month, it will already be moldy." ”
"Speaking of mold, I remembered that ten days ago, a friend of your brother came back from a big city and brought a box of mooncakes to our family, and the packaging was so beautiful! I figured out how the mooncakes in this big city should be much better than those from our small place, but they didn't taste good, and one of them was still moldy. If you want to eat moon cakes, it is better to choose our old cake shop in Huangyang Town, which is a century-old brand and can be trusted! ”
It is normal for mooncakes to be moldy, and the production date on the wrapping paper shows that it was moldy on the same day. From production to packaging to consumers, there is a lot that can be done from it. She once stayed in a mooncake factory, and the mooncake brand is still very famous, but it is still greasy. Her job is to wait for others to unpack the mooncakes, pick out the mooncakes that are not moldy and spoiled, wait for the packaging to end, and then she sprays the packaging bags of each mooncake and marks a new production date.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu said to Tang's mother, "You still don't eat so many moon cakes, don't think that it will expire for fear of wasting, you can eat it vigorously, the family is not short of that little ration." You look at it and think it is good, you can take it and share it with the people you are good friends with, this shelf life does not wait for anyone, it is better to give it early than later. ”
"Just listen to you, it's a waste to eat so much." Tang's mother began to weigh which box of mooncakes to give to which person.
Tang's mother will give it to whoever she likes, and Tang Yu will not interfere. She teased Yoshiko in her arms, and the person who was lively a moment ago was now asleep. She put Xiao Jizi on the crib, only to find that her hands were a little sore, and the child felt like a day by day, and he grew up very fast.
The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night is not reunited, and the Tang family is one less person. Tang Xin happened to get a chance to go outside with his teacher to put on makeup during this holiday, so he didn't come back.
The Yue Tang family, who had not been honored for several years, began to salute again, because the child was older and did not have the interest to set up an offering table to sit in front and slowly wait for the incense to burn out, and the moon did not come out, so he continued to wait for a stick of incense. Now, it's because there are children in the family, and there seems to be a tradition that those who have children in the family must worship the moon, which is the reverence for the moon god and praying for the blessing of the child.
Tang Zhicai moved the desk to the balcony on the fourth floor and put moon cakes, grapefruit, cantaloupe, grapes and other melons and fruits. There were seven people in the family, so they dismantled seven mooncakes and put them on the desk. Tang's mother burned a lot of incense, and each moon cake was inserted into one, except for the grapes, other fruits were inserted into the incense, and the table was full of incense.
Tang Yu lived on the fourth floor, she was impatient to worship the moon, she was called by Tang's mother many times, and she listened impatiently before she came out to worship the moon with them.
Liqiong has not yet come out of confinement, and Xiao Jizi is not suitable to be held out, so before Tang Yu participated, only Tang Dad, Tang Ma and Tang Zhicai respected the moon.
I feel like I haven't paid homage to the moon at home for many years, and the latest moon salute in my memory was with Zhao Jingshen. At that time, they drove to the beach, there was no desk, no incense, only two mooncakes and a bottle of red wine. They slowly climbed up from the moon until they saw it round and then hang high in the sky. He hugged her emotionally and said that he would give her a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival night every year, and then there was no more, he married someone else, and her beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival night also ended at that Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was no future.
The salty sea breeze blew on her face, and Tang Yu was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival night when she and Zhao Jingshen were on the beach that year.
In fact, she rarely thinks of him anymore, time can dilute everything, and no matter how deep the wound is, it will heal one day. Maybe she will occasionally think of him in the future, it will always be her past, but at that time she has been able to accept the untimely death of this relationship in her life very calmly, no regrets, no discomfort, very calm and calm.
Tang Zhicai seemed to be able to see the sadness on Tang Yu's face, she has always been a good person, and she has never seen any unpleasant times. He interrupted Tang Yu's contemplation, "What do you want to be so engrossed?" ”
Tang Yu came back to his senses and casually recited a reason, "It's so nerve-wracking to think about a math problem!" ”
Just thinking of a math problem that can make her sad? When he couldn't think of it when he used to go to school, he would at most be entangled, is this the difference between a poor student and a good student? Tang Zhicai was very puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask. Whether it was or not there were other things, Tang Yu didn't want to say the truth that she didn't say.
Tang Yu shook his head and left those things behind.
She suddenly wanted to eat something, and when she looked at the mooncakes and fruits full of incense in front of her, she felt that the only thing she could do was grapes.
Tang Yu turned to Tang's mother and asked, "Mom, have you washed these grapes?" ”
Tang Ma had an expression on her face that you were talking nonsense, "Of course, the one for the moon father-in-law must be clean, I have washed these grapes no less than three times." ”
No matter how clean it is, everything except the grapes is covered with fragrant ash. But Tang Yu didn't say this, otherwise Tang's mother would definitely have to say that if you eat the incense ashes, you will be free from illness and disaster if you are blessed by the gods.
She nodded to Tang's mother, and then reached out to pick a handful of grapes to eat.
Tang Ma said with a smile, "This incense hasn't burned to the end yet, you just ate Yuegong's things like this, be careful that he cuts your ears at night!" ”
Tang Yu pouted, this kind of trick can also deceive children.
"When Yoshiko is older, you can coax her like this, I'm so big that I'm not afraid of having my ears cut off."
Tang Ma seemed to think of something interesting, and said with a smile, "You still believed it before!" ”
When Tang Yu was a child, when he was a child, he secretly ate the things on the table before the incense was burned, and Tang's mother also told her this, at that time, she was afraid that the moon's father-in-law would come over at night and cut her ears, so she was so scared that she didn't dare to sleep, and then somehow fell asleep, and the first thing she did when she woke up the next morning was to look in the mirror.
Thinking of these things, Tang Yu also felt funny, why was he so stupid to believe it at that time?
"You will say before, you have to be before, how young I will be to believe you then!"
Dad Tang said, "Don't pay attention to your mother, she never gets tired of saying this." ”
Tang's mother was "exposed" to this trick, and she was not embarrassed, but reached out and ate the grapes herself. (To be continued.) )
