As he spoke, he licked his mouth, pretended to be distressed, and said, "It's a pity that my brother has spent all the money on the inkstone these days, and I don't have the money to buy you a little candy man to eat, otherwise you go to your mother's house to steal some silver and come out, and my brother will buy it for you?"

"Stealing silver?" Wang Yuanbao frowned a little tangled.

His family has a lot of silver, and since he was born, he knew that their Wang family was the richest family in the village, except for the things in the remote places in the town, he couldn't get them all the time, as long as he wanted them around the village, her mother would buy them for him.

So the eight-and-a-half-year-old Wang Yuanbao really didn't think about stealing silver, so naturally no one taught him not to steal (take) his own silver.

Although he subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this, the desire to eat the little candy man instantly overwhelmed the only hesitation left in his heart.

Wang Yuanbao nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll steal the silver for you, Brother Yongquan, you must buy me more delicious food." ”

As he spoke, he drew a semicircle with his arms outstretched, and said in a heroic tone: "I want so much!"

Seeing that Wang Yuanbao agreed so easily, Wang Yongquan's heart blossomed, and he said happily: "Okay!" Brother will buy you more, but these delicious foods are not cheap, if you want to buy more, you have to steal ten taels of silver! ”

Wang Yongquan stretched out ten fingers and gestured to Wang Yuanbao, "You can count, right?" Do you know how much ten taels of silver are? I can't buy it back if you take less! ”

"Don't underestimate me, I can count to a hundred now!" Wang Yuanbao straightened his chest arrogantly, quite unhappy.

Wang Yongquan: "Brother believes you, but Yuanbao, if your mother finds out that the silver has been stolen in the future, you can't say that I let you steal it, otherwise I will never give you food in the future, and you will not admit it!" Otherwise, you will say that you saw that the mourning star next door stole it! ”

Wang Yuanbao was puzzled, "But didn't they move away today?" ”

How can she say that she stole it when she moved so far away?

Wang Yongquan smiled disdainfully, "How does your mother know when the silver was lost, you just said that you saw it before." ”

"Okay."

…

Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lotus Village will hold a moon worship party, one is to gather the villagers together to be lively, and the other is to pray for the wind and rain in the coming year.

The moon festival was held at the lotus lake in the center of the village, and as soon as it was dark, villagers and their families walked towards the lotus lake one after another.

Nie Yaoyao's family also specially freshened up for the moon worship party at night, changed into clean clothes, and then according to custom, one person took a torch and went out happily.

On the way, they met many villagers who went to the moon festival together, and everyone's simple and simple faces were full of enthusiasm and joy, and laughter could be heard from afar.

At night, the torches from far and near echo with the stars in the sky, which is spectacular and beautiful.

Xiao Tuanzi was held by Fuwa and Xie Lin with a small hand, and followed behind Nie Yaoyao crookedly, the little guy saw such a lively scene for the first time, a pair of big eyes were round, very curious.

Xie Lin didn't understand why the adults had a torch in their hands, and if it was illuminated, wouldn't it be better to carry a lantern?

Thinking about it, he asked Fuwa.

Although Fuwa is not very old, he has experienced three moon festivals since he can remember, so he is naturally familiar with it.

He explained with great vigour: "The torch is for lighting a bonfire, have you ever seen a bonfire? It's the kind of big fire that is built with many torches, but when it is lit, it is as bright as day as the book says! ”

Now Xie Lin understood, his lips curled slightly, looking at the bright light in front of him, a trace of expectation flashed in his clear eyes.

Soon, Nie Yaoyao and his party came to the lotus lake, where the lotus flowers had already bloomed, and the lotus water in the lake was sparkling and flowing under the reflection of the moonlight.

Nie Yaoyao and the others threw the torch in their hands into the half-person-high bonfire, and the extremely high flame illuminated the dark night like day, and also illuminated the hearts of everyone present.

Xiuru and Hu Yunlong couldn't be idle for a long time, Nie Yaoyao said something, and walked away happily holding hands together.

Fuwa and Xie Lin were not bored at this time, and they took the little group to plunge into the noisy children's pile to play and play together, so unhappy.

"Nie girl! Come here! Aunt Ma, who had already found a place to sit down, waved her arm at Nie Yaoyao and shouted.

Nie Yaoyao smiled, walked over, and sat down on a stone beside Aunt Ma.

After a day of tossing, the pregnant body was already very tired, she sat comfortably next to Aunt Ma, listening to the laughter of the villagers and the innocent laughter of the children, at this moment, even if she didn't do anything, she felt very happy.

After a while, some villagers came to the lotus lake one after another, and the bonfires were piled higher and higher.

Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, Village Chief Kang walked to the high stone with a smile and said loudly: "It's almost time, everyone be quiet!" Let's worship the moon! ”

Hearing this, the villagers were silent, put the food they had prepared under the campfire, and then looked up to the moon together, clasped their hands together on their chests, and silently prayed in their hearts for good weather and abundant crops in the coming year.

Nie Yaoyao also followed everyone, looking up at the bright and bright full moon in the sky, the cold and glorious moonlight lined her eyes, and also reflected the joy in her pupils.

After a long time, she closed her eyes and made a wish in her heart reverently.

May I hope that I and those I care about can be safe and happy.

…

Here, in a peach forest on the east side of the lotus lake, Kang Wenxiao stood alone by the lake, and on the opposite shore was the bright moon festival, even on the silent lake, you could feel the liveliness of the people there.

Kang Wenxiao smiled at the corner of his lips, picked up the wine jug in his hand and poured a big sip, the cold and fierce wine poured into his throat, spicy and refreshing.

He stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth informally, looked up at the bright moon, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Beautiful, ......"

The ......grass and trees behind him shook abruptly for a while.

"Who?!" Kang Wenxiao turned around keenly, and when he saw who was coming, he was slightly stunned.

"Miss Wang Jiao?"

Seeing Kang Wenxiao looking at herself for a moment, Wang Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly, she clutched the handkerchief tightly and said softly: "Brother Wenxiao, it turns out that you are here to enjoy the moon, it is really difficult for me to find it."

In order to pour out her heart today, she specially changed into the most popular ruffled skirt, carefully smeared the rouge gouache bought at a high price from the boudoir pavilion, and thought that she was now facing her beloved brother Wenxiao in her most beautiful state.

It's just that she didn't know that her rouge gouache could still be seen under the sun during the day, and in this hazy moonlight, only her face was too pale, like a female ghost.
