Time passed quietly.

"Xiao Guo, tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, you won't go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you won't go back for the Double Ninth Festival, is that okay?"

"Shopkeeper, what's so good about celebrating the festival at home, I'm bored to death, how good it is to celebrate the festival with everyone here!" Guo Furong said nonchalantly.

Tong Xiangyu said angrily: "Look at what you said, let your father and mother hear it and scold you for being a conscienceless." ”

"It's a fact, it's the same every year, I was looking forward to it when I was a child, but I don't feel anything when I grow up. I still feel a little annoyed. ”

Bai Zhantang said beside him: "That's because you don't know how blessed you are, how many people want to live with their families and don't have a chance!"

"Lao Bai, you're not talking about yourself, are you?"

"I've gotten used to being alone for so many years, I mean there. Bai Zhantang pointed to Li Mubai, who was sitting alone on a stool in a daze.

Guo Furong lowered her voice: "Isn't Xiaobai an orphan?

"Do you think Xiaobai looks like an ordinary orphan?" Bai Zhantang asked rhetorically.

Guo Furong thought about it carefully and said: "Yes, Xiaobai's conversation is really not like ordinary people, and some words that I don't know always come up with. ”

Bai Zhantang said helplessly: "I'm not talking about this, do you think that ordinary people can grow so white, with fine skin and tender meat, as well as family martial arts? ”

Guo Furong suddenly realized: "You mean that Xiaobai was born in a big family." ”

"yes, definitely. ”

Guo Furong wondered: "Could it be that he sneaked out like me?"

"It shouldn't be, when I first met him, he was dressed ordinary, it didn't fit, it should be someone else's clothes, he was penniless, so miserable should not have been sneaked out by himself. At this time, Tong Xiangyu recalled the scene when he first saw Li Mubai and said.

"It's possible that someone robbed it and then became like this. Guo Furong disagreed.

"Then why haven't you heard Xiaobai say that he wants to go home?" asked Tong Xiangyu rhetorically.

Guo Furong said with a nonchalant face: "That's probably the same as me, I don't want to go back, no one cares outside, how free!"

"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?" Bai Zhantang was speechless.

"That's right, besides, although Xiaobai has never mentioned it, sometimes he will be seen there in a daze. ”

"Or maybe he just likes to be in a daze? Besides, everyone has moments of being in a daze. Guo Furong was still unconvinced.

"Didn't you notice that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiaobai would be in a daze from time to time? It's okay to talk with us, when he is alone, he is either practicing or in a daze. ”

"Then why have you never heard him talk about family affairs?" asked Guo Furong puzzled.

"It should be that something happened at home!" Lu Xiucai interjected at this time.

Guo Furong said angrily: "How do you know?"

"Just look at Xiaobai's usual performance, and I've experienced this kind of thing. At that time, I was like this, I was good in front of people, but I didn't really want to deal with others, I just wanted to be alone, when I felt lonely, I either cried alone, or went to join in the fun, and every time I was happy and happy in the New Year, I was easy to think of the happy times and family in the past. Lu Xiucai sighed, obviously those days were not easy.

Tong Xiangyu looked distressed, obviously Lu Xiucai's words inspired her motherhood: "Yes, Xiaobai has always smiled in front of us, and never said these things." ”

"Then this Double Ninth Festival should be lively, so that Xiaobai will forget those sad things. Guo Furong proposed.

"Okay, let's have a little more fun this time. ”

Everyone agreed.

Although Li Mubai's situation is similar to what they said, it is not that serious. People's adaptability is very strong, when Li Mubai came to this world and walked on the edge of life and death, Li Mubai was much tougher than when he was on earth. In addition, he still has the system to give him hope to go home, although it is very difficult, but with the assistance of the system, it is not impossible to achieve it. So although Li Mubai misses his family very much, it is not the pain of losing his family, and now it can be said that he has realized his martial arts dream in his previous life, which has given him a different kind of comfort, Li Mubai is not as decadent as Xiucai said.

Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival is full of relatives.

These two sentences are a true portrayal of Li Mubai, and now he is in a different world. When I was on Earth, even if I got along in a long way, I could still talk on the phone, chat about videos, and sometimes I wanted to be far away and not want my parents to bother me. But no matter how much you miss them here, you can't tell them, I miss them, I see them. Although Li Mubai is confident that he can surpass the limits of this world with the assistance of the system, he is not 100% sure that he can do it, and even if he can do it, he will return to the earth. He could only keep himself from thinking about it.

The next day, Chung Yeung Festival.

"Today we are going to make mochi, which is a traditional snack in our south, and it is also a must-do thing during the Chung Yeung Festival. Tong Xiangyu said loudly.

Li Dazui also said: "Let's wait and do it together." ”

"Okay!" "Today's holiday, Mo Xiaobei doesn't have to go to class, she is the most excited.

To make mochi, the glutinous rice should be whitened and washed, soaked for a day and one night, filtered and steamed, poured into the bamboo plate and mixed with an appropriate amount of alkaline water, after the rice becomes golden brown, it is steamed for the second time with a retort, poured into the stone mortar after being put into the atmosphere, and the bamboo (wood) rod is scooped until the rice grains are not seen, and the surface is smooth.

The glutinous rice used to make mochi had already been soaked the day before. Now Li Dazui is going to pour the steamed glutinous rice into a stone mortar.

"Lao Bai, Xiao Bai, let's play mochi together. Li greeted with a big mouth.

"Alas, I'm coming too. Lu Xiucai hurriedly said.

"You thin arms and thin legs, can you do it?" Li Dazui glanced at Lu Xiucai.

"Why not, when I was a child, I used to play mochi. Lu Xiucai glared at Li Dazui and said.

"Okay, let's come along. ”

After fighting for a while, the other three were all at ease, and Lu Xiucai was already out of breath.

"Didn't you say you could do it, but you couldn't stand it?" Li Dazui mocked.

Seeing that Lu Xiucai still wanted to insist, Li Mubai said: "Xiucai, you still don't have to hold on, this kind of thing is about participation, if you make a fuss because of this, it will be to block yourself." ”

"Okay, I'll take a break. ”

For mochi, Li Mubai still feels quite interesting. In his previous life, he had heard about it and seen some related things on the Internet, but it was not the same to participate in person. And in the previous life, there were very few places to beat mochi, and to make mochi was directly steamed with glutinous rice flour, and then done, no need to beat.

"Okay, that's it. Get the mochi out of the mortar, and you're ready to go. Li Dazui said.

"Well, the drip is good. I'll show you how. Tong Xiangyu praised when he saw the beaten mochi.

Guo Furong said excitedly: "Okay, I've never done it before!"

As a young lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, she has never done it, and the things she can't do are gone.

"I learned to do it last year. Mo Xiaobei showed off.

"Okay, let's compete to see who does better!" Guo Furong looked at Mo Xiaobei with interest.

"I'm afraid of you, come here, and if you lose, you will buy me ten sugar gourds. ”

"If you lose, all your pocket money will go to me this month. ”

"Good"

The others looked at the two men speechlessly.

"To make mochi, first take the broken mochi in your left hand, squeeze it out in the "tiger's mouth" between your index finger and thumb, take it off with your right hand, and then knead it into small balls, and roll it on the crispy sesame candy, okay, do you understand?" Tong Xiangyu looked at Li Mubai and the others who couldn't make mochi.

Li Mubai painted the scoop according to the gourd, except that the shape was not round enough, and he couldn't help but say: "It's very simple!"

Guo Furong expressed dissatisfaction and directly rubbed it into a strip.

Mo Xiaobei sneered: "What are you doing, I won, remember my sugar gourd." ”

Guo Furong said stiffly: "This is my new invention, isn't it okay? ”

Saying that, Guo Furong ate the mochi.

"You want to play tricks!" Mo Xiaobei stared at Guo Furong viciously.

Under Mo Xiaobei's eyes, Guo Furong gave in: "Okay, I'll buy it for you later." ”

"Great. Mo Xiaobei jumped up excitedly.

Tong Xiangyu reprimanded: "What's good, the children's family eats so much sugar, it's not good for the teeth, Xiao Guo just buys her a bunch." ”

"Okay, shopkeeper. Guo Furong immediately agreed.

Mo Xiaobei said angrily: "I don't, why?"

"Since I am your sister-in-law, I have the final say, and besides, this is for your own good. ”

Mo Xiaobei was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, when we're done eating mochi, we'll go to enjoy the chrysanthemums. Bai Zhantang changed the subject.

"Isn't it fun?" asked Li Mubai.

"It's very lively, let's go shopping together. Tong Xiangyu replied.

After everyone tasted the fresh, they went out together and walked to the place where the chrysanthemum appreciation event was held.

A large number of chrysanthemums appeared in front of everyone, and there were many people who admired the chrysanthemums, so it was not lively.

Seeing this situation, Li Mubai just wanted to sing a song "Chrysanthemum is remnant, full of wounds".

There are many kinds of chrysanthemums, the most common is golden yellow, (this is all harmonious, and there is no one anymore) This is the kind of thing in the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor". In addition, there are white, purple, pink, green and other colors, as well as compound colors, there is a flower with two colors, such as red and yellow half of the "Erqiao", red and yellow two colors of "Mandarin Duck Lotus"; there are two colors of back and abdomen, such as the back is yellow and the ventral surface is red "Golden Back Big Red"; there are petals with one color as the background color, and there are other color stripes or spots on it, such as the pink and purple as the background color, and there are white spots on the "sika deer"; there are the petals at the base of one color, the tip is another color, such as the pipe petal is red, the tip is yellow "red line gold beads". There is a heart flower for one color, the side flower for another color, but the contrast is not large, such as "the first phoenix", "green water" and so on.

This chrysanthemum appreciation conference opened Li Mubai's eyes, he was half a house in his previous life, how could he pay attention to these things.
