Within two days, Alan was gone.

She walked silently, without suing anyone, not even me. I continued to embroider with the embroidery girls as usual, but by the time it was time for lunch, she was gone.

I searched inside and outside the house, and the people in the village also asked, and I found out that she was gone.

The day after she left, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

After I came back to my senses, I regretted it a little, Ah Lan was so affectionate and righteous to help me, how should I keep her down for a holiday, but the matter has come to this, I can only blame myself for hindsight.

The village is full of joy, after all, it is a day of reunion, those embroidery girls came to work, and also brought their own melons and fruits, and a few skillfully made moon cakes, although the taste is only average, but after all, it is a festival, everyone eats, and the face is a smile sweeter than honey.

Seeing that they were so happy, even when embroidering laughed haha, I couldn't bear to discipline them, so everyone just played while working, and at noon, I also brought out the pastries I made to entertain everyone, those embroidery girls were very happy, simply laughed and played in the yard.

Rue Xiang originally said that I was too lax, but seeing that everyone was so happy, she was too embarrassed to say anything more.

A group of women chattered and laughed in the courtyard, and most of the day's work passed.

In the south of the Yangtze River, it was dark very late, and when everyone finished their work, they went back early, and Rue Xiang and I still stayed at the end to pack up the embroidery and embroidery frame.

As I was cleaning up, Rue Xiang said to me, "Light, come to my house for dinner tonight." ”

I glanced at her, she smiled and said: "Second brother went to the town to buy a lot of melons and fruits, and some delicious pastries, everyone admires the moon together tonight, anyway, you and Li'er are also two people at home, deserted, it is better to come and celebrate the festival with us, how lively it is." ”

I smiled, "Not really, okay." You are also a family reunion ......"

"Oh, you're polite to us." She grabbed the conversation, and just saw Li'er holding a bamboo horse and leading a group of dolls to run over, so she beckoned: "Li'er, Aunt Ruxiang's house has delicious fruits, will you come to play at night?" ”

As soon as Li'er heard this, his eyes lit up.

But fortunately, this girl didn't immediately go up as soon as she heard that there was something to eat, but looked at me carefully: "Mother, can you go to Li'er?" ”

Looking at her puppy-like eyes, and then at Ruxiang, I couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, go, let's go." ”

Rue Xiang immediately smiled, and Li'er jumped into the yard happily: "Okay! Aunt Ruexiang, my mother also made a lot of snacks, they are all delicious, I will also bring them over, can I eat with you. ”

"Of course!"

They decided to do that, but they left me aside. I laughed as I packed up the last bit of things, washed Li'er's hands, and took her to her house with Ruexiang.

Since the second brother of the Zhao family came back, Ruxiang's mother's family has finally improved, and because of his strong backing, Gou Er is even more afraid to mess around outside, and it is better for Ruxiang. Tonight, even he obediently carried the fruits to his mother-in-law's house, and rushed to help with the work.

Because of the festival, Aunt Zhao was also happy, sacrificed all her skills, put a lot of fish and meat on the table, and even opened a jar of osmanthus wine that she brewed herself, and hid it for five or six years.

Everyone sat down with a smile, and said that they wanted to make a tooth sacrifice, and Aunt Zhao even picked up the fish and meat and piled up a hill in Li'er's bowl, this girl didn't stop eating, watching a few of us adults toast and drink, we must also taste it, and the second brother Zhao took the tip of the chopsticks and dipped it a little on her tongue.

Suddenly, Li'er's eyes were red, she stretched out her tongue and inhaled, and kept fanning her mouth with both hands: "It's so spicy!" It's spicy! ”

Looking at her wolf bèi, everyone in the room laughed.

After dinner, the sky outside also darkened, I helped Aunt Zhao clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when they came out, Second Brother Zhao and they had already set up a small table and stool in the yard, with incense burners on the table, and various fruits.

At this time, the full moon is in the sky, sprinkling thousands of miles of clear light, and the whole earth is plated with a layer of silver-gray light, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace, and even the crickets in the surrounding grass have a rhythm, together with the river waves in the distance, it seems so harmonious.

I helped Aunt Zhao to walk over and sit down, she raised her head and looked at the moon with a faint smile on her face.

"Tonight's moon is really beautiful."

"yes." Rue Xiang also raised her head: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a round moon." ”

"It's a pity that people don't ......"

Aunt Zhao said, her voice was a little choked, I saw a little tear in her eyes, and I also knew that she remembered her son, Second Brother Zhao hurriedly walked over and squatted beside her: "Mother." ”

Aunt Zhao looked down at him, choked up slightly, and said, "If you don't fight, it's fine." ”

We listened to her and fell silent.

Yes, it's good not to fight, there are not so many separations, there are not so many deaths, a war is a legend in the storyteller's mouth, and it is a sentence from the person in power, but the storyteller can't say the sorrow, blood and tears behind the war, and the person in power never has to go into battle in person; It is the common people who really face the swords and swords, and this is a major matter related to the life and death of the people, but they have never been in charge.

If you don't fight, it's fine......

After being silent for a while, Rue Xiang probably didn't want the atmosphere to be so gloomy, so she said with a smile: "The weather is so good today, and the riverside must be beautiful." Let's go to the river to admire the moon. ”

Li'er said strangely: "There is something to see by the river, it is dark and cold." ”

Rue Xiang smiled: "Silly Li'er, will Aunt Rue Xiang lie to you?" Let's go and see. ”

As soon as she mentioned yì, everyone also knew that she didn't want Aunt Zhao to fall into a sad relationship again, so they echoed one after another, and it happened that the surrounding neighbors also went out, and everyone greeted them and prepared to go to the river to enjoy it, so we went to the river with everyone, and someone walked to the river with lanterns.

Before I reached the riverbank, I felt a burst of water vapor, and the sound of the river crashing on the bank made the night seem more peaceful.

And in the distance, I saw a silver light.

I've lived in Jixiang Village for so long, and I rarely come to the river at such a late hour. I saw that the river was flowing slowly, and a full moon in the sky was also reflected in the water, with the water waves rippling slightly, flashing with pieces of light, beautiful as a dream.

I couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's so beautiful." ”

Li'er was already stunned, just as a group of village children ran behind her, and when they saw her, they greeted her, and Li'er immediately ran after them. A group of dolls giggled and frolicked by the river.

I stood on the river beach, looking at this sparkling wave, and was amazed, when the second brother of the Zhao family came to me and said with a smile: "Why, San'er didn't bring you here to see it before?" ”

I smiled and shook my head.

"This kid really can't coax his daughter-in-law."

I smiled again.

Speaking of which, he really doesn't coax me, although he treats me well, he never knows how to coax me to be happy. In the past, when he was in Jixiang Village, he naturally said little, and he couldn't say a flower, and then he followed Fu Badai, and he learned a lot, and he talked less, so he could be called a little talk, even if I got along with him day and night at the bottom of the valley, and he didn't have a sweet word in the days when his ears and temples were grinding.

Thinking back to my years with him, the most romantic thing he ever did was probably to catch a bag of fireflies for me and come back, but not for the sake of looking good, but just to help me light and embroider.

As for the Mid-Autumn Festival after I married him...... Hardly impressed.

After thinking about it carefully, I can remember in a trance that he was busy reading books all day and night at that time, and he couldn't even take care of eating and sleeping, how could he take care of coaxing me?

I still remember that night, there seemed to be a lot of laughter and playfulness outside, but he still stood alone at the table, reading hard at the flickering candle flame, and watching him work hard, I read a poem to him.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to ......"

This matter is difficult to complete......

Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but read it softly, Second Brother Zhao looked down at me, didn't open his mouth for a while, but suddenly let out a burst of exclamation from the crowd by the river in front of me, I was startled, and then I came back to my senses, and when I looked up, I felt a light in front of me, which made me a little unable to open my eyes for a while.

That's—
