Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the four traditional festivals, must have a hearty meal to celebrate, it is only their mother, she still picked up four dishes and one soup, as well as dumplings, the standard for the northern festival, is also the highest courtesy, indispensable, even if the family is not rich, that is, with vegetarian stuffing and sweet potato noodles, you have to prepare a plate for the occasion.

Steamed dried vegetables with oily meat, crab roe tofu, sweet and sour fish, and also adjusted a cold dish, celery vermicelli, plus sea rice fungus, eat too much big fish and meat, come to the mouth, especially refreshing and delicious, the dumpling filling is leek meat, the half catty of meat sent by the factory is chopped in, wrapped in two grates, after cooking, Song Hongguo picked up two bowls out, put them into a basket, and added a piece of oily meat to the basket, two moon cakes, the rest is to pick pomegranates and jujubes from the tree, the corners and corners are stuffed full, and they are heavy to press.

She took the two children to send them to Zhao Baoqing and Zhao Yulian's house, and it was a tradition and filial piety to send food to the elders during the festival.

When she went, the two families were also preparing to eat, there were two dishes on the table, dumplings were cooking in the stove house, and the children surrounded the adults, greedy and unwilling to leave.

But when I saw the dumplings sent by Song Hongguo, my own ones were immediately not fragrant, how could sweet potato noodles be as delicious as white noodles? The most important thing is that the dumplings wrapped by yourself are all vegetables in one bite, and it is difficult to eat a piece of meat, but Song Hongguo's wrap is different, the dumplings are all stuffed with diced meat, which is similar to eating meatballs, and the taste can be fragrant.

After she left, Zhao Zhenhua smacked the dumplings in his mouth and muttered, "It's still a comfortable life with fewer people, half a catty of meat is eaten by more than a dozen people, and eaten with three people, but it's too much difference......"

Sun Shuhong said angrily, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" The half catty of meat you share has to be mixed with a pot of green vegetables, and the red fruit only needs to be mixed with a bowl, and the taste must be incomparable. ”

Zhao Zhenhua sighed gloomily, "Daddy is here, there is no way to separate the family, and we may not be able to separate us in another twenty years." ”

Sun Shuhong is also very helpless, but every household in the village is like this, the rules passed down by the older generation, the parents are not divided, whoever divides the family, it must be a restless house, it is the rhythm of defeat, and someone has to point at the nose and scold for being unfilial, but when a daughter-in-law, who dares to say that he doesn't want to live by himself? begging for a living under my mother-in-law, and eating in a bowl with my concubines, bumping and bumping every day, I am really tired.

The most important thing is that the money you earn is never your own, and you have to subsidize it to the whole family.

"Don't say this in the future, now that you haven't split up, your eldest brother and second brother are still jealous of you as a worker, if you split up, maybe you will be jealous."

Zhao Zhenhua wiped his face and stopped talking.

Zhao Yulian's family situation is better, Zhao Zhensheng is not married, the factory has paid wages and benefits, they are all paid to the family, so he doesn't have to worry about it, anyway, he will use the money for marriage in the future, all of which are managed by the family, and the money in his own hands may not be able to keep, as for his eldest brother, he is also a master who doesn't worry about everything, only his daughter-in-law has a mind alone, and he can't toss it, not to mention, their children have spent a lot of money because of their poor health over the years, if they go out separately, I'm afraid they won't even be able to eat.

So it's good to stay together, take each other's hands, turn a blind eye, and life will go on, who hasn't been like this all their lives?

After eating, it was already dark, and the moon tonight was very harmonious, big and round, hanging high in the vast night sky, quietly watching the world, all living beings, from ancient times to the present, has not changed, what has changed is the vicissitudes of life, things and people.

Song Hongguo and the two children sat on the stone bench, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, and the radio next to them sang a model play, adding a bit of excitement to the festival.

The full moon is reunited, Song Hongguo is still a little regretful in his heart at this moment, he can't spend it with Huo Minglou this year, he went to the army and his eldest brother's house, as for the two children, the emotions in his heart are more complicated than her, and his biological parents are not around, the taste can be imagined.

She didn't say anything comforting, because no matter what she said, she couldn't change the facts, so she picked a topic that could cheer up the two of them, "We'll go to Nongchang in a few days, have you two thought about what to bring?" ”

Ling Yuan turned his head to look at his brother.

Ling Zhi was sharing the pomegranate in the boy, and when he heard the words, his movements did not stop, but he asked nervously, "I brought something, can I hand it over to him safely?" Will it cause you danger and trouble? ”

Song Hongguo thought for a while, "If you have less, you can still try, but if you have too much, you will naturally not work, so you two will pick up important and necessary belts." ”

Ling Zhi said, "Then bring a photo of me and my brother." ”

In fact, bringing photos is the most dangerous, but Song Hongguo didn't disappoint the fun, and took over, "Prepare some more food, you can nourish your body, rest tomorrow, I'll make some fried noodles, put some walnuts and sesame brown sugar in it, it's nutritious, it's convenient to eat, and medicine, also bring a little." ”

Ling Zhi's eyes flashed with surprise and guilt, "Is it okay?" ”

Song Hongguo smiled and rubbed his head, "Of course you can, although I haven't met your father, but because of the two of you, I and him are half relatives, and it is right to send some food and drink, you don't have any burden in your heart at all, you and Xiaoyuan are beside me and are on my knees, which is the best reward for me." ”

Cheng Huan kneeled, this is the most gentle and beautiful interpretation of adoption that Ling Zhi has ever heard, he nodded cherishedly, and did not say anything nice on his lips, only secretly swore in his heart that he would grow up and have the ability to do his best to be filial to her and make her proud of him.

The next day, the mother and son rested, but no one lay on the kang to sleep lazy, got up early and got busy with work, today's things are really a lot, picking pomegranates is the simplest, the pomegranate tree is more than two meters high, no ladder is needed, Song Hongguo stepped on a chair to reach, she was responsible for picking, the brothers followed, two trees, picked less than an hour before it became smooth, and then saw the beautiful scenery of red pomegranate like fire before.

In addition to the previous gift, there are still a lot of pomegranates left, wicker baskets, filled with two baskets, placed in a cool place, not bumped or touched, can also be kept for a long time, is the outer layer of skin is dry, the pomegranate inside is still moist and juicy, but the cracked mouth is not good, Song Hongguo picked it out alone, there is also a basket, recently eat these tightly, or make pomegranate wine.
