"Mr. Yun, this is the first child you and Xi Niang have born, of course there is going to be a full moon banquet, the big guys are lively together, how good!" Yang Sanlang saw that Yun Zhibai and Xi Niang couldn't make up their minds, so he hurriedly said, Zhao Dalang glanced at Yang Sanlang and interrupted him, "San Lang, let Mr. Yun and Xi Niang make their own decisions." ”

"Haha, look at your anxious looks, of course this Xi'er's full moon banquet is going to be held, San Lang is right, this is the first child I had with Xi Niang, how can I not do it, invite some relatives and friends to be lively, of course, you good neighbors can be present, I will tell you first, I will not accept the money, if you take the money, I will not let you enter this courtyard!" Yun Zhibai said these words with a smile, and everyone laughed too, Xi Niang squinted and watched the sunlight outside pour in, and the warm current of the iron smoker poured out, this winter today, it is really not cold at all.

"Mr. Yun let anyone not enter the courtyard, who is so disobedient! Mr. Yun is angry! "Aunt Gongsun, Shen Luo and Chu Yue took the food and vegetables, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mr. Yun is talking about the full moon banquet for children, whoever gives money will not be allowed to enter the Yun family." Yang Sanlang said with a smile, and Chu Yue hurriedly took over, "Okay, let's just bring our mouths and wait to eat ready-made." ”

"That's the best!" Xi Niang looked at the meal that Aunt Gongsun put in front of her, it was delicious, and she was very appetizing when she looked at it, and this look was made separately, although there was no chili pepper, but the fragrance came to her nose.

"Look at you, come to see me and the child, and have to cook it yourself, how embarrassing am I, I really eat ready-made now." Xi Niang looked at the Gongsun ladies embarrassedly.

"Xi Niang, you eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will be cold, this meal has to be eaten while it is hot, it is delicious while it is hot, hurry up and try Zhao Dalang's sesame Hu cake, as well as the fresh fish in Yang Sanlang's fish pond, see if the taste is still suitable!" Chu Yue sandwiched the fish and Hu cake and put them in the bowl on Xi Niang's desk, Xi Niang took a bite and praised again and again, it was so delicious.

"Okay, you old men can also have a hot meal, after talking all morning, your stomach is growling, and the sake brought by Yang Saburo is also warm, Mr. Wen can drink some of it." Aunt Gongsun put a meal full of color and flavor on the table in front of Mr. Yun, poured the wine for the three masters, and Mr. Yun hurriedly greeted the three of them, "You have been busy for so long, and you are tired, hurry up and sit down and eat." ”

"No, no, no, there is still food in the kitchen, let's go to the kitchen to eat." Women don't share a table with their men outside, this is a custom they have received since childhood, but Mr. Yun doesn't care about this, "You guys sit down and eat, I don't care about these feudal customs, if you don't sit down to eat, I won't eat." Mr. Yun put down the dishes and chopsticks as he spoke.

"Okay, good, good, let's eat, Mr. Yun is too polite." Seeing this, Aunt Gongsun, Chu Yue and Shen Luo could only sit down, and everyone finished the meal lively, and after eating, Aunt Gongsun helped wash the dishes and chopsticks, and Yun Zhibai sent them out of the yard.

"Go back and rest early, the full moon feast of the children will have to come on time!" Yun Zhibai waved his hand at everyone, and everyone agreed again and again, Yun Zhibai watched them go away, and then walked back to the house.

"Zhibai, have they gone back? It's really troublesome for them today, and they have to cook and wash dishes for us when they come here. Xi Niang saw Yun Zhibai walk into the house and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, they have already gone back, and I have already told them that they will have to come on time for the full moon feast." Yun Zhibai picked up the awake Yun Jinxi, thought about it, and asked, "Xi Niang, who are you going to invite to the full moon banquet of the child?" Do you want me to write to them to inform your grandfather, grandmother, and uncle? ”

"Grandfather and grandmother, uncle and uncle, I really haven't seen them for a long time, do you want to invite them? Get me an idea! Xi Niang looked at Yun Zhibai, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, she hated her grandfather and grandmother very much, she felt that it was because her grandfather and grandmother were patriarchal, so that she lost her father and aunt who loved her the most, and made her an orphan, since the last time she saw them was the day she got married, because her grandfather and grandmother lived far away, a county farther away from Yunjin City, since she got married, she moved to the suburbs of Yunjin City, and the feelings were naturally light, at the beginning Yun Zhibai also wrote a few letters for her to go back to report safety, Later, Yunzhi Baibaishan Academy was busy with affairs, and slowly there were fewer letters, and sometimes it took several months to send a letter back and forth.

"Xiyan, I know that you must be far away from resenting them in your heart, but this resentment can't follow you for a lifetime, you are also a person who is a mother now, why not try to forgive them, in the past, you didn't let me read to you their replies in the past, I have helped you read them, in fact, they are still thinking about you in their hearts, your father and aunt are unfortunately gone, and they don't want to see it, white-haired people send black-haired people, what a lot of pain!"

Yun Zhibai looked at Xi Yan, he kept calling her Xi Niang outside, and when he talked about sad things, he called Xi Niang's name, he actually hoped that Xi Yan could still let go of the past, although her grandparents did too much to Xi Yan in the past, but every time he saw Xi Yan talk about her grandparents and grandmothers, his expression was sad, and he didn't feel good when he saw it, after all, living with resentment was indeed a very sad thing.

"Okay, Zhibai, I know, then you can help me write a letter back home, this child's grandfather and grandmother haven't seen it, I have to let her meet my great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and by the way, invite my uncle and uncle, if you don't invite them, I'm afraid that something will fall in the future." Xiyan listened carefully to Yun Zhibai's words, slowly recalled the meaning of Zhibai, and felt that what Zhibai said was also reasonable, so his attitude softened and adopted Zhibai's opinion.

"Zhibai, who else are you going to invite your uncle and Aunt Gongsun?" Xi Niang carefully recalled the list of guests for the banquet, and remembered that there were many complicated things for the full moon banquet, "Zhibai, I don't know what to do with the full moon banquet now, whether to prepare wedding cakes or small noodles, there are probably a few dishes on this table, a few cold dishes, and a few hot dishes, Zhibai, I am sitting in confinement, and I can't help you much, and you don't know if it's okay alone, by the way, Zhibai, you go and take out the jade bracelet in my jewelry cabinet, if the silver is not enough for the full moon banquet, take my jade bracelet and pawn it." ”

"Oh, Xiyan, look at you, it's your life, don't worry about these things, and the problem of silver two, I have it here, you can take care of the children with peace of mind, take care of your body, that's enough, the dishes of the full moon banquet, as well as the return gifts after the banquet, tables and chairs, I will arrange these properly, when the time comes, you take the child, just eat a good meal, you can't eat this in this month, you can't eat that, on the day of the full moon banquet, you can eat more." Yun Zhibai looked at Xiyan, she has always been weak and slender, she has to take good care of her in this confinement, she is worried about the inside and outside of the family on weekdays, this full moon banquet will not let her worry anymore, let her enjoy a good day.

"That's right, Xiyan, the cook and helper of this full moon banquet, Aunt Gongsun, Chu Yue and Shen Luo, they all said, Aunt Gongsun came to be the chef, Chu Yue and Shen Luo They washed and washed the vegetables, cut the vegetables and started to fight, Zhao Dalang and Yang Sanlang They also said, help serve a dish or something, I kept saying don't want it, they said so resolutely, so I don't know how to say it." Yun Zhibai remembered what they said when they came out of the yard, Aunt Gongsun and their mothers thought about things thoughtfully, and they were really a group of warm and helpful good neighbors.

"Aunt Gongsun's dishes are really good, and the taste is also very good, I heard that she used to help cook several children's full moon banquets, I think they took the initiative, they must be afraid that we will find another cook to spend money, they are really enthusiastic about us, so let's do it, Aunt Gongsun They are resolute, we will follow their wishes, after all, they are also quick to do things, and after the full moon banquet is over, we should give the silver taels or give."

Xiyan said to Yun Zhibai, Yun Zhibai nodded and replied, "That's naturally yes, I'm still measured in this, okay, Xiyan, you can rest for a while, you're tired of talking so much." Xiyan listened to Yun Zhibai's words, so he was relieved, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Yun Zhibai saw that Xiyan was asleep, so he wrote a letter to Xiyan's great-grandfather and great-grandmother on the desk, and seeing that Xiyan and the child were in sleep, he gently got up and went out, went to the post station in the city to send this family letter, and asked someone to inform the uncle of Baishan Academy, and then returned to his home in the suburbs with confidence.

Sunrise and sunset, flowers bloom, a month passed quickly, with Yun Zhibai by his side and the child, Xiyan felt that the days passed too fast, this month Yun Zhibai took care of her carefully, she grew some meat, plump a lot, the market day before the full moon banquet, Aunt Gongsun, Chu Yue and Shen Luo They have already bought all kinds of dishes to buy at the banquet, and now that the weather is cold, some dishes can be kept fresh outdoors and will not spoil.

The night before the full moon banquet, Xiyan couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, Yun Zhibai comforted her and said, "Xiyan, don't think about it too much, tomorrow, you will put on the beautiful clothes I bought for you, and put on that pleasing red short jacket for Xi'er, tomorrow you don't have to work when you see work, just sit on the table with the child and eat and drink obediently." Xiyan listened to Yun Zhibai's words and smiled, "Zhibai, you take care of me so carefully, I have become a daughter this month, thank you to my Langjun." Xiyan remembered that the child had been crying for several nights, but Yun Zhibai got up and hugged the child to coax him to rest, regardless of his tiredness.

"Lady, why do you say such a thing, since you call me Langjun, I have to be good to you and the child, okay, rest early, tomorrow is a lively day, but you have to save up enough energy to be happy." Yun Zhibai held Xiyan in his arms and said softly, Xiyan heard Yun Zhibai's words, and slowly fell asleep with confidence.

The crowing of the rooster in the chicken pen, the rising sun in the sky, woke up a hazy day, Yun Zhibai and Xiyan got up early, Yun Zhibai looked at the sky outside, and nodded with satisfaction, this day, looking at it is another sunny day, there is no rain, this is good, after all, there are a few tables of wine banquets in the courtyard, if it rains, it will be difficult.
