Chapter 146: Moon and Autumn
"Stupid brotherβ"
On August 15, it was still cloudy, but the clouds were much thinner than the previous two days. The night sea is covered with fog, and the full moon occasionally appears, which also has a different kind of beauty.
Ji Siyu crossed his waist and was very unhappy: "-Brother! β
Yes?
Rin turned her head.
"Can you call your brother that?"
"He won't listen to him!"
"That can't be no big or small......" After all, she is a real mother and is more protective of her son: "He is more deaf." β
"Hmph, who told him to be lazy!"
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and helped her mother bring the dishes and plates.
"It's called rest."
Rin retorted, then leaned over slightly, glancing over the side. It's a pity that there is nothing.
That day, when I came back to my senses, the boy was gone. When he woke up the next day, maybe he was too tired, but his memory was a little blurry, making him a little confused about whether it was a real or a dream.
"I'll do it......"
Is it really a dream? Rin helped her mother open the table, confused.
"I'll set it up, you go and bring the incense bucket."
"Hmm."
"Xiaoyu, it's enough to put 4 apples, you don't need to put them so high......"
"Oh......"
The girl was a little disappointed, and reluctantly dismantled the apple tower that had been stacked to three floors and wanted to continue to add up.
"Where?"
"Here, put one at the door of the incense can."
"Oh."
Rin carried a small iron bucket of lacquered gold, and took out the paper, money, incense, candles and other things inside to help sort them. He doesn't understand these things, but he knows that these piles of paper money are not easy to burn, and they need to be broken up to get angry. In the past, it was my grandmother's business to worship the gods during the festival, and she believed in Buddhism in her old age, and now she is helping out on the side, and her current position is generally her mother. After grandma passed away, the little girl was still young and didn't understand, so he had to help. Otherwise, according to custom and habits, the men in the family generally do not need to help.
In fact, two years earlier, my mother didn't understand. However, since last year, she has to preside over family affairs, and slowly it will happen again. It is also strange that when modern women are young, most of them are dismissive of similar feudal legacies, but once they have children, after they are thirty or forty years old, they can learn some slowly.
Is this a kind of inheritance?
Rin still couldn't figure out what these colorful paper products were, so she recognized the paper money. Well, the main reason is that the numbers on it are a bit eye-catching, and I can't help but count '0'.
"Alright, let me ......"
β¦β¦
Rin looked up and saw that the table was already full, thanks to the efforts of her mother and sister. There are common fruits such as apples and bananas, seasonal foods such as grapefruit, persimmons, mooncakes, and snacks such as peanut candy, biscuits, water chestnuts, etc., and there are more than ten dishes of all sizes. Someone was already biting his finger and drooling next to him.
"Where's the lighter?"
"This ......"
"Rin, Tim Xiang."
"Oh."
"Xiaoyu, you come too."
"Oh."
At this time, the little girl is the most well-behaved, and honestly follows her mother's instructions, what to do. Finally, there is the mother, when she puts on the incense, she will silently recite a few words, I don't know what it is, in short, Rin can't hear clearly. The brother and sister waited on the side, waiting for the mother to finish the incense, and when she lit the fire with the incense candle, she began to burn the paper.
There is also a special point in burning paper. Whose part is this one and whose part is this...... Divide them and burn them in order. There are rules and rules, and Rin thinks that the ancients are quite thoughtful.
"You burn some too."
"Oh......"
The little girl was already eager to try, and she couldn't wait to throw the paper money into the fire according to her mother's instructions. Rin was speechless, and was afraid that she would throw too much and extinguish the fire, so she had to stir the flames with iron tongs on the side to make the fire burn more vigorously. Mother relaxed a little, and occasionally recited words. This time Rin leaned closer, and heard clearly. Except for some strange gods, most of them are supplications. I pray for my son's academic progress, health and safety, and my daughter's speedy recovery...... I just didn't ask for it. Rin was baked by the fire, and it was warm.
The last one, it was my father's turn.
β¦β¦
Smack-
In the distance, brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, lighting up the night.
A few miles away, there is an artificial lake of several hundred acres, and there is always a fireworks display on every important festival. The rooftop is high, and there is basically no obstacle to the past, making it an excellent place to watch. In the past, it was a family gathering, and when it was lively, more than 10 relatives and friends, adults and children, eating, drinking, setting off fireworks, chasing and playing, laughing and laughing, and it was very lively.
Rin's gaze turned back from the fire tree and caught a glimpse of tears in the corners of her mother's eyes.
"Mom, is there a tengu eating the moon this year?"
"How do I know, do I?"
"When?"
"Eleven or two o'clock in the evening?"
"Then I won't sleep......"
β¦β¦
Rin wanted to laugh. This girl encountered a lunar eclipse when she was a few years old, and she was very excited to wait and wait, but she fell asleep before 11 o'clock, and she is still haunted by it. Although as far as he knew, there would be no lunar eclipse this year, but seeing that she was looking forward to it, he followed her. Anyway, with her urine, she won't be able to wait until 12 o'clock.
Look at the time, it's still early.
Yun Yun sat on the carpet, his fingertips slid around the screen of his mobile phone, unlocked and closed, and then opened and undone, over and over again, lasting for more than half an hour.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, she threw her phone away, sat up straight, and clenched her little fists. There will be a live broadcast later, and there are still many friends waiting in the game, and he will come too...... On the coffee table, the boiled cup noodles were already cold, the bottled water was no longer icy, and the room was quiet...... But what are you doing at this time? Suddenly, her small mouth flattened and her eyes turned red.
Xiββ
She wiped her nose, picked up her chopsticks, and buried her head in the noodles.
Bang bang bang β
As soon as a few bunches of noodles entered his mouth, the door shook as if it had been bombarded by a cannon, and the whole house trembled. The girl was not prepared, and all the noodles that were stuffed in her mouth choked out.
"It's coming, it's comingβ"
Who is it?
Although I was looking forward to Rin's sudden appearance, the style of this knock on the door obviously wouldn't be him. Yun Yun hurriedly wiped his mouth and eyes, and ran to open the door with bare feet.
Syllable.
"Oh mom, let let, let let."
As soon as the door opened, a 'village woman' stumbled in with a rice bag on her shoulder. Before he could take a few steps, the whole bag had already fallen to the ground with a 'pop'.
"Xiao'e ......"
What's going on? Yun Yun stared at her best friend dressed as a village girl, and then looked at the pomelo in Sha Tin, which was scattered all over the place, a little blinded.
"Oops, I'm tired."
Xiao'e wiped the sweat from her forehead: "What are you doing?" It's closed. β
"Oh oh, you, you, Yuzu? Didn't you mean overtime? How do you ......" Closing the door, Yun Yun couldn't turn a corner on the scene in front of him: "Why did you run to sell grapefruits?" Are you short of money? β
Xiao'e's face darkened: "It's rude to sell grapefruits, are you?" β
"No, no, why are you dressed like this......"
"Huh?"
Xiao'e looked at herself, turned around, and felt strange: "What are you dressed like this?" Isn't it good? Isn't it pretty? I searched for this dress for a long time to find it......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Aren't all aunts who sell things like this?"
"Uh......" Yun Yun thought about it and plucked up the courage to tell her the truth: "This, it was like this in the nineties......"
"Huh? It's true? β
"Hmmm......"
"Hey, I said it, they all looked at me......" Thinking of the scene where her colleague was laughing behind her back, Xiao'e gritted her teeth and said 'hehe' twice in a gloomy manner: "Wang Bacub, dare to make the old lady ......"
"Are you ......" Yun Yun reacted, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Disguise? Catch a thief? β
"Why are you so excited, it's not a movie, hey, damn, it makes my mother wear a ...... for a long time" tearing and tearing, Xiao'e took off only her underwear when she was in the 'public'.
"Hey, there's someone."
Yun Yun's eyes widened. I have to say that although the upper circumference is not as good as herself, her long-term exercise body is evenly handsome and slender, which makes her a woman very envious.
"Look at it, touch it, and charge by the second." Xiao'e took off the hood in a chic manner, threw it at her, and walked to the bathroom.
"Hey, where are these grapefruits?"
"Eat!"
"How do you eat so much?" Yun Yun held the hood and pouted.
"It's okay, it's okay to drop it for a month, and eat it slowly."
"What should I do if I can't finish eating......"
There was no way, Yun Yun nagged and picked up the scattered grapefruit and piled it aside. calculated, there are more than ten of them, and if they are packed into a bag, there must be at least thirty or forty catties.
Ka.
Suddenly, a cylinder slipped into the bag.
Yun Yun took a look and picked it up, but it was a tube of moon cakes. That's right, it's a tube, the kind where four mooncakes are stacked on top of each other and rolled up with paper. In the past, moon cakes did this, there was no iron box, no exquisite packaging, convenient. Yun Yun saw it when he was a child, and remembered it, but now it is difficult to find it except for a few handicraft workshops.
"Where did you buy the mooncakes?"
"Old streets, time-honored shops, good things."
"Oh, will you go out later?"
"I'm not going."
"Oh......" Although he felt a little unkind, Yun Yun still smiled secretly.
"Just ......"
"Huh?"
"A stupid guy called me and said he was home, and you were alone......"
β¦β¦
Yun Yun took the moon cake cone and stayed in place for a while. Biting her lip, she tried her best to endure it, but finally she couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and then, tears fell.
Di Tuk β
Rin frowned and picked up her phone.
"/Mooncakes/, so sweet!"
Ho.
It's full of pictures and texts. Rin laughed dumbly. Looking back, the fireworks are over.
"Slow down ......"
"Oh!"
"Can't play for too long......"
"Good!"
β¦β¦
Her mother's helpless look made Rin smile again. Ji Xiao's classmate took a video of the fireworks, and he was happy, he didn't want it, he had to show off in the guild, and he couldn't stop it.
"Not eating?"
"It's full."
"Eat some fruit, mooncakes are not easy to digest."
"Hmm......" Rin nodded, then hesitated a little.
"What do you want to say?"
"Huh?"
"Not enough money?"
Belch.
Rin choked.
"This house ......"
After a pause, Rin looked at her mother with iron tongs to pluck the ashes, and her face was calm: "I asked, there is an old friend, if necessary, she can temporarily lend us 500,000." When your dad was still there, I helped their family a few times, she was very good, she said okay, you don't need to move for the time being, you can give a little rent every month, and the house is mortgaged......"
She glanced at her son, as if she knew what he was thinking: "I have more than 300,000 here, plus the leisure bar side, there are 400,000, and others, adding up, there should be 1 million." Your aunt's place, a little bit, and your aunt, I heard that you and Ah Shou are doing business? It doesn't matter if you make money or not, when you accumulate some experience......"
ββ¦β¦ I asked you Aunt Xiuhui, the situation is not very good....... your mother has this ability, the rest depends on you, more than 1 million, it is best to have the ability to find it, I can't find ......"
Her eyes were a little stern, but she was serious: "Don't drag it anymore!" β
β¦β¦
Knowing the son Mo Ruomu.
Rin looked at her mother, who was as calm as water, and was speechless.
