Chapter 60: The full moon is not round
The Mid-Autumn Festival full moon is full and people are reunited, so Xiping and Zhang Li on the mountain, Erhu and Du Hai in Anning County, and people from other villages have all returned. The entire Pingshan Village was immersed in this joy of reunion, but the Zhou family was much more silent than usual.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a reunion festival, but her parents were not around at home, Erniang decided to simply celebrate the festival after discussing it with her brother.
After having a reunion dinner with his grandfather and grandmother from his uncle's house, Zhou Bo came back with his younger brothers and sisters, and when he went, he didn't bring any girls.
After coming back, there were still two main tables in the side courtyard, one table for Lang Jun and the ladies, and three round tables scattered in the corner. The girls, mothers and boys who don't have to serve their masters are also lively together.
In the middle of the two main tables, there is a table of eight immortals, on each side is placed a copper crane-topped panzhi candlestick, on which a large moon cake is placed, surrounded by pastries and melons and fruits, among them, watermelon is indispensable. The red candle is burning, Erniang leads the girls to pray for the moon, praying for a happy and sweet return for the family, and then cut the moon cake into several pieces according to the population of the family.
"Father, Mother! Big brother and we are all very good, and we just hope that our father and mother will return as soon as possible! Erniang's eyes were far away, and her eyes were full of tears. Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, they just came back, the family was in a mess, and the festival was not good, this year's eldest brother made the Zhou family prosperous again, I don't know how pleased my father and mother will be? "Erniang doesn't look forward to family wealth and wealth, she only hopes that her father and mother will return safely and early, and the family will be reunited!"
"When the parents return safely, Liang'er will go to the temple to eat fast for three days, and thank the Bodhisattva!" Siniang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then looked at Erniang cautiously before whispering, "Auntie, Liang'er is very good now, and she will help the eldest brother manage the egg room, Auntie, you don't have to worry about Liang'er anymore." ”
"Daddy, Shu'er,......" Wu Niang usually looks like a leather child, so she worships the moon, it is really difficult for her, but the strong longing around her really stings her eyes, "Shu'er will become more and more well-behaved" finally shed a string ......of tears.
"In the past, my father and mother always worried about us," Qi Niang lit incense, reverently inserted it into the incense burner, and bowed two more times before saying: "Now that we have grown up, and the family is very good, father, mother, you should come back safely as soon as possible!" ”
What happened to the family this week? Xue saw that in serious suspicion, the family wealth was lost, only the parents in the family were convicted, but the children were fine, it shouldn't be a big crime, right? Of course, with her mind and understanding of the dynasty, she couldn't guess the answer.
"Come back! Come back! Xiao Shi Niang suddenly spoke. Because of the great disaster at home, Xiao Shi Niang was too young, and because of excessive fright, she never spoke after a serious illness. Two days ago, he suddenly spoke, and although it was only a few words, it still made the whole family ecstatic. "Hui'er misses her father, her mother, and her aunt." The moonlight shone on Xiao Shi Niang's jade white face and the tears on her face, which also made everyone's hearts sour.
"Okay, okay, if you let the old lady know that everyone is doing so well, you will be very happy!" Du Ma came over to help Erniang, and then hugged Shiniang, "I believe that Jiren has its own celestial image, old lady, will come back soon!" ”
Such a beautiful scenery is even more sad because the moon is not full. "Everyone is happy, in my father's heart, I hope we are happy, so let's be happy to show my father."
"The eldest brother said very much," San Lang took the little Shi Niang in Du's mother's arms, "We have been back for more than a year, and the days are getting more and more prosperous, and it is also gratifying to want to come to Daddy and Mother to know." He forced a smile, "Daddy and mother will never see us crying." ”
"The old lady is a very picky person, look at our current days, you should be more happy, so as not to make the old lady angry," Du Ma quipped, "and this moon cake, this crab, if you don't eat it, it will be ruined." ”
The filling of the moon cake is naturally not as simple as the habit of the usual Dashun country, and Xue Jian uses ham, jujube paste, meat five kernels, vegetarian pepper and salt, and the ingenuity is strange to renovate on the moon cake crust, which makes people have an appetite. Because it's really delicious, I don't know how many have been sent out to make a festival.
This year, in addition to making moon cakes and giving them away, the Zhou family bought several large baskets of crabs and gave one basket to the uncle. Xue Jian inadvertently remembered that the Lijia family in the Red Mansion ate crabs, just like the Zhou family now, and couldn't help but say: "The silver for only buying crabs is enough for a small family to spend a whole year!" ”
"Yes," Xiao Hachiro's eyes lit up, he loved to eat crabs the most, so he pulled Erniang's hand and asked, "Second sister, when will you start eating?" Erniang naturally agreed, and said busily: "Xiaoyi, Xiaoyi, come and make crabs for Si Ge'er." Then he ordered someone to serve a few little Langjun and the little lady, and the family slowly became lively.
Dashun eats crabs by steaming them in a pamp bag, then sits around and tastes them, accompanied by wine vinegar.
Xue saw that she was especially fond of eating in her previous life, but it was the first time she had eaten it after passing through, and she also knew that the Zhou family had spent a lot of money this time, after all, crabs, no matter which dynasty or generation, belonged to high consumption.
What is rare is that even the people have been given crabs, which makes most of the people who have only seen and eaten in their lives even more lamented that their lives are good, and they almost expressed their determination on the spot to dedicate their lives to the Zhou family.
instructed Qing Ling to serve Zhou Bo to eat crabs, Qing Ling was naturally overjoyed, the eldest young master has always been cold to her, she can have the opportunity to show her face in front of the eldest young master, what is it to eat two less crabs!
Zhou Bo saw that it was Qing Ling who came to pack crabs, so he glanced at Xue Jian, who had eaten at the next table, and didn't say anything more, which made Qing Ling's heart bloom even more.
Hachiro also only ate two yellow seeds, so he ran over with his girl Xiaoyi, and insisted that Yukimi go over to eat with him, and then tell stories while eating.
Erniang felt sorry for Balang, and seeing that the eldest brother did not object, she took the lead and said: "Xue Jian, you come here," and brought the two main tables closer together, this section is very boring because of the absence of parents, how can I make my younger brother sad again, "Tell you something interesting!" ”
Sanni Qian'er and these people have experience, and without waiting for the master to speak, she also surrounded a few large tables, and said very doggedly: "I'm here to help the kind and gentle Xuejian girl who is loved by everyone to wrap crabs." "I knew that I wouldn't have offended the king of stories with everyone in the afternoon. Other people also reacted, and also came over to laugh and say a few nice words.
Erniang was surprised: "What's the matter today?" It can be seen that the story of Yukimi is really lovely! Xiao Shi Niang next to her also said: "I like it!" Like! ”
"Sister Xuejian, she doesn't pick her looks, and she doesn't pick her heart," the culprit, Li'er, also jumped out at this time, don't praise her like money, Xue Jian pouted, what sister wants is not praise, what does sister want more, don't you really know the ranking? It's a tip! It's a red ticket! It is a bag! It's a package!
Qing Ling next to her was speechless, she was also a girl, she was standing and she was sitting, serving others by herself, she was being served!
Although crabs are delicious, after all, you can't eat more, Xue saw that he ate crabs, and pretended to drink Su Ye soup, and washed his hands with it, and only then under the anger of the public, he began to talk about the part of the moon rabbit in Journey to the West.
This Journey to the West, so that Xue Jian can only talk about fragments, and the order is basically arbitrary, but fortunately, she is clever enough, and when someone points out the conflict, she can also break the past, and those anime in the previous life are not in vain, how to add them together for a few years without repetition, it is enough. This skill, I really don't know if it will make the old boy surnamed Wu so angry that he will cross it again?
I think of the Journey to the West that I have watched countless times since I was a child, Li Lingyu, who played the Moon Rabbit Essence, was also a beauty at the beginning, and she played the Moon Rabbit Essence vividly, so how many boys slandered this Tang Seng Couldn't it?
Thinking a little far, Xue Jian fortunately didn't say this directly, otherwise he would have been directly crossed by the sinking pond tonight.
Qing Ling heard the anger in his stomach, what does this snow see mean? Does it mean yourself? She is just gentle and beautiful, uh, beautiful is indeed not as beautiful as Yukimi, no matter how gentle and elegant she is, she is fake after all, is she a substitute for Yukimi?
The girls couldn't help but look at the moon in a daze, is there really a little rabbit like Chang'e? This little rabbit, like them locked in the boudoir, longs for freedom?
Xue saw that she endured it again and again, so she didn't sing the song "When will the bright moon exist" that is necessary for crossing the song in Faye Wong's interpretation.
