Chapter 40: Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Appreciation
After talking to Shopkeeper Sun, Li Xin left Pinxiang Pavilion with his younger brothers and sisters.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very grand festival, and it is a festive season, so it is naturally a joy for the whole people. And the happiest are the children, the children have no worries, and there are many delicious foods in the festival, so they are naturally very happy. Children can be seen jumping all over the street, occasionally holding a few osmanthus flowers, and the street is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
There are many osmanthus flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, even the small Sanshi Town is no exception, but I don't think it is on weekdays, when it comes to the three autumn seasons, it is the fragrance of flowers on the street, which will make people suddenly feel that this small Sanshi Town has planted so many osmanthus flowers. Li Xin suddenly laughed, no wonder Shopkeeper Sun would say that osmanthus is not difficult to find.
Li Xin took Wenbo and they bought some fruits and melon seeds and went home. The dates and pomegranates in the house could be eaten, so Li Xin picked some of them.
After dinner, it was the moon viewing on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Xin's family gathered in the backyard. There are already a lot of food and snacks on the stone table, and a whole table is set up. There are more moon cakes, and the moon cakes are all taken back from Pinxiangge, there are many different fillings, each with a small plate, and there are really a lot.
Looking at the food on the table, Li Xin suddenly remembered the days when he lived with his grandparents in his previous life. Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, my grandmother will also prepare a lot of food, a full table, and there are all kinds of moon cakes. When I was a child, the packaging of mooncakes was quite simple, and some of them were wrapped in paper. However, the mooncakes at that time seemed to be very delicious, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night was also a joy. Growing up slowly, sometimes there is no holiday in the Mid-Autumn Festival, or a day and a half, and you can't go home.
It seems that it has been a long, long time since I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with my grandparents. You can also eat moon cakes every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the packaging is getting better and better, but the taste doesn't seem to be mediocre, or there is no feeling! The Mid-Autumn Festival is originally a day of reunion, no one is reunited, and no matter how good the moon cakes are, there is no taste.
The moon is really full tonight, and it is as big as a disc in the middle of the sky. The moonlight poured like flowing water, and the whole courtyard was illuminated. The lotus flowers in the pond are already a little ruined, and there are very few flowers in bloom, and there are a few occasional ones, but they are not very good. However, after the flowers withered, they left a lotus pod, and this year it should be able to harvest a lot of lotus seeds.
For the crossing, Li Xin suddenly felt a little lucky, it seemed that this was really good. In her previous life, she had long since lost the meaning of life, no relatives, no lover, and only a few friends left, but it seemed that she could not fill her barren heart. She didn't seem to be interested in anything, she thought she was old, so she was indifferent to many things. Until someone said that it was not because he was old, but because his heart was empty. She seems to really feel that her heart is empty, and she can no longer find the so-called dreams and meaning.
And after arriving here, life seems to gradually become meaningful. She can't be decadent anymore, she can't be muddy anymore. Because someone needs her, this family needs her to support it. It turns out that the feeling of being needed can be so good.
"Eldest sister, the second uncle went to steal things at home, why didn't you tell us?" Wenbo suddenly asked.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, she never mentioned the matter of Li Changgui and Yang Lianhua going to the house to steal things before, that is, Yuexiang and Yueting, and she also deliberately confessed to the two brothers. The matter has already been settled, and letting them know is only adding to the trouble. In the end, she is a foreign soul, and she is just a little more familiar with Li Changgui and his wife than ordinary strangers, and there is no family affection at all. But Wenbo is different, it is their uncle and aunt, she is worried that they will be sad when they find out.
She also hopes that they will not be disturbed by anything, and that they will study hard and seriously, and it will be best if they can get fame. She hadn't thought about letting them gain fame before, she just thought it would be good to know some words. But the fact that Li Changgui and his wife came to steal things still made her mind change a little. In this world, whether it is a farmer or a businessman, the status is very low, and it is easy to be bullied.
If the village chief had not come forward in that matter, Li Changgui and his wife would have been her elders in name, and in the final analysis, she would probably have suffered a loss. But the village chief of Osmanthus Village is still good, and not necessarily the village chief everywhere is so good. And this time it's just to face Li Changgui and his wife, if the person facing it has more status! What should she do? At that time, the village chief must not be able to help much.
Now, her family's life is just a little better, and she has been targeted. And what about later? Is it true that the better life is, the more people will covet this family business? Can the children of their family really keep it? In this era, there has never been a shortage of "breaking the county order and destroying the history of the door", what if their family met it one day? It seems that nothing is useful to have someone in charge of their own house. She doesn't necessarily want Wenbo and Wen Hao to go through the imperial examination, but she also wants them to do their best to learn well, if they are willing to be officials, then go and give it a go, and it will naturally be best to be able to go to high school.
"Who told you that? I'm afraid it's Yueting's big voice! ”
"How can the eldest sister hide such a thing from us? It was also Yueting who said that she leaked her mouth, so I asked Yuexiang. ”
"The matter is settled anyway, isn't it useless to sue you? Don't worry about this, study hard is the most important thing. As long as you study well and have fame in the future, who will dare to bully our family? Besides, I'm not worried that you'll be upset by this. ”
"The eldest sister is too careful, how can we be sad because of such a person, it doesn't matter if we break off the relationship, they will no longer be qualified to take care of our family's affairs in the future. Eldest sister, rest assured, Wen Hao and I will study hard, and naturally hope to be able to gain fame. ”
"Just do your best, I don't have to ask you to take the fame test, even if you can't pass the test, there are always things you can do."
"I want to be a general in the future, and see who dares to bully our family." Wen Hao raised his head and said.
"Okay, I'm just waiting for you to become a general, so that we can all enjoy the blessings!" Li Xin smiled and rubbed Wen Hao's head.
"This time it's over, but if there is anything at home in the future, the eldest sister must also tell us, otherwise we will be worried! Although it may not be helpful to Nen, Wen Hao and I are the men of the family. Wenbo said again.
"Okay, if there is anything at home in the future, I will definitely tell you."
