Chapter 68: Warm Mid-Autumn Festival One Shift
The moon of fifteen is sixteen round, but the moon is also round tonight, like a round of silver plate hanging high in the night sky, the full moon reflects the small courtyard covered with walnuts and chestnuts, not cold at all, on the contrary, the warmth and veins are just right.
A family of four sat under a tree, blowing a refreshing cool breeze, eating vegetables and admiring the moon.
Through the courtyard wall, you can vaguely see the mountains in the distance, and you can vaguely hear the chatter of the villagers, and the light of the flickering torches.
Xu Huaiyi drank the wine poured by his son comfortably, and then ate the dishes made by his daughter-in-law beautifully, and sighed with satisfaction, "This little life is too comfortable, if you can do this every day, you will have no regrets in this life......"
Gu Xiaoyu's face was calm.
Gu Huanxi glanced at him lightly, "Your ambitions are quite ambitious." ”
I want to serve him every day, and I dream faster.
Xu Huaiyi smirked, "People, dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?" After the words fell, he immediately diligently picked up vegetables for his daughter-in-law, "Daughter-in-law, eat more, this steamed dried dish with oil and meat makes you absolutely amazing, and this salted fish and eggplant pot, good guy, almost confused me......"
After finishing this, he poured pear juice for Gu Huanxi non-stop, the sorghum wine he drank tonight, Gu Huanxi and Gu Xiaoyu drank freshly squeezed pear juice, the pears were carried down from the mountains, the moisture content was quite high, but the taste was worse, rock sugar was added, and the prepared was sweet and sour, which could be eaten.
Gu Huanxi picked up the cup and said meaningfully, "This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival that our family has spent together, and every year in the future, I hope we can be reunited, happy and healthy like today." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu was slightly stunned for a moment, but did not delay his quick toast, and after returning to his senses, he said solemnly, "The son will not forget what his mother wants and wants." ”
Gu Huanxi knew that he understood, and gently touched the cup with him.
He hurriedly stood up in a panic, "Mother has tormented her son......"
Xu Huaiyi raised his hand and pressed him back to his seat with a look of disgust, "What's the twist?" At a young age, there are so many rules, old-fashioned like a little old man, this is in his own house, and everyone sitting here is a family, why are you so polite? Isn't it just a matter of touching a cup, how normal is it for a family to get together and have a drink? ”
Gu Xiaoyu said blankly, "But the father and son are not at the same table, and the uncle and nephew are not ...... drinking."
Xu Huaiyi said as a matter of course, "There are no uncles and nephews here." ”
Gu Xiaoyu, "......"
Uncle and nephew refer to elders in general, does my father really not understand?
It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, Xu Huaiyi raised his cup and said with pride, "Come, come, let's make another family together, I hope that every year there will be today, and every year there will be today." ”
Gu Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, then leaned over cautiously with his cup.
The three cups slammed into each other with a crisp and pleasant sound.
Xu Huaiyi drank it all in one go.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyu also drank up the pear juice, the sweet and sour taste, which engraved the taste in his heart.
"Come, Xiaoyu will also say a few words." Xu Huaiyi shouted with a sting.
Gu Huanxi looked at him encouragingly.
Gu Xiaoyu stood up again, this time Xu Huaiyi didn't stop him, his expression was solemn, and he even said a little solemnly, "I wish my father and mother good health and a smooth life." ”
Gu Huanxi smiled and said, "Thank you, son." ”
Xu Huaiyi reminded, "And what about your sister?" ”
Gu Xiaoyu continued, "I hope that my sister will have a worry-free life. ”
"Okay, what about yourself? Forget no one, you can't forget yourself......" Xu Huaiyi said again.
Gu Xiaoyu was silent, pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with complex and indescribable emotions.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Xu Huaiyi raised his hand and spouted at his head, and said with disgust, "Look at you stupid, you can't say two words of boasting, look at the father's ......"
When the words fell, he threw them persimmons, "This is called persimmon Ruyi." ”
After speaking, he gave him two pomegranates, "This is called many sons and many blessings." ”
Then, he smug at Gu Huanxi, "Daughter-in-law, what do you think of my blessing?" ”
Gu Huanxi glared at him speechlessly, everything went as planned, what the hell is a lot of sons? Gu Xiaoyu was only five years old, so he skipped urging marriage and gave birth directly?
Gu Xiaoyu also withdrew from the complex emotions, his eyes were gloomy, and he was a little difficult to say, but he still said to Xu Huaiyi, "Son, thank you father." ”
Xu Huaiyi accepted it calmly.
Gu Huanxi looked at him gently and seriously at this time and said, "Xiaoyu, may you get everything you want in this life, everything you want, everything you want, everything you want, and everything you expect." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu's heart was shocked, and he bowed down to salute, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Xu Huaiyi was unwilling to be lonely and said, "I will also do this kind of blessing words, may you be warm in three winters, may you not be cold in spring, may you have lights in the dark, umbrellas in the rain, light in your eyes, love in your heart, beautiful as far as the eye can see, may you be accompanied by a lover on the road, and may you be treated gently by the world......"
Gu Huanxi saw Gu Xiaoyu's expression becoming more and more surprised, and hurriedly interrupted, "Eat your food." ”
Xu Huaiyi suddenly felt grieved and aggrieved, "Daughter-in-law, isn't what I said bad?" ”
It's a good recitation, but does it fit your personality?
Gu Huanxi nodded perfunctorily, "Well, it's good, so let's hurry up and eat vegetables, there is still a lot of work to do, I have to leave tomorrow morning, before leaving, those chestnuts must not be shelled?" Pears must not be boiled into syrup? ”
Hearing these words, Xu Huaiyi suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't care about playing tricks anymore, after eating, the servants divided the moon cakes, and devoted themselves to the great cause of work.
The moonlight is just right tonight, but there is no need to light the lamp, Xu Huaiyi took Gu Xiaoyu to peel the chestnut shell, Gu Huanxi washed the pears and boiled the syrup, there were too many pears, and they were taken away too much weight, she took out most of them, and planned to boil them into pear paste, so that it does not take up space, and it is convenient to drink.
The three of them were busy until the end of the day, and then they washed and went to sleep.
Other people in the village slept later than them, mainly because they carried back more walnuts and chestnuts, persimmons and pears more, and they definitely couldn't take them away, so they went to the town or the neighboring village to sell them.
The Mid-Autumn Festival ended in a sloppy end.
The next day, the genius was polished, and the village was lively.
Every house smoked, from time to time there was a clanging sound, that was to clean up the belongings to be taken away, and the screams of chickens, ducks and geese, they couldn't go on the road, so they had to be slaughtered, as for why they had to wait until this morning to kill, naturally they had to squeeze out their last bit of value, and the extra egg was earned.
As for important things such as bedding, clothes, food and food, they must be packed up neatly, packed and taken away, and never waste a little.
Nowadays, mules and ox carts are rare in the village, but carts and carts are the standard equipment of every house, and heavy things have to be loaded on their own carts, and others have to be carried on their backs.
This busy work made those who were not ready to leave panic.
