The waiters who saw them along the way greeted them one after another: "Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

…

The small courtyard with a bamboo forest is usually very lively. Now, apart from the waiter guarding the door, there is no one else here. No need to ask, it was Liu Jingze who asked people to clear the area in advance. Although this man is not very romantic, he is attentive and patient enough with Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian really didn't blame him for not having time to accompany her. The catering, logistics, seafood and other industries are all busier during holidays, so Liu Jingze really has to work overtime almost every holiday, and Su Tiantian, who is often on vacation, often has to accompany him to work.

Su Tiantian knew that if she thought money was just a superficial possession, reality would slap her in the face. For a few extra dollars, she could have a grown man carry a bucket of water up to the sixth floor. For a few hundred dollars more, she could stay in a VIP ward at the town hospital. And for a few thousand dollars a month, most people in this small town could live a good life.

Without a stable income, you will not be able to pay money when you encounter problems, and your loved ones will not be able to pay money when they encounter problems. Then you will understand that an adult's face is given by money, so make money when you should make money, spend money when you should spend money, and save money when you should save money. Of course, sometimes you can earn less money to make the people you care about happy.

Liu Jingze now asked people to clear the small yard in advance. He was willing to make less money to make Su Tiantian happy. He felt that it was worth it to make less money to please his wife.

Su Tiantian's parents and relatives treat her well. Family affection is one reason, but there is another undeniable reason: she is capable, has a job and can make money.

The villagers said it was worth raising this daughter. She received scholarships every year while in college and even worked part-time, so the family didn't spend much on her. Since graduating, she's been helping the family in every way. If she were like her two cousins, unmotivated and dependent on their parents, frequently returning to their parents' home to borrow money, speaking offensively and acting without restraint, her parents would probably be troubled by her, and her relatives would probably avoid her.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Su's parents and younger brother Su Zhihao are really good to Su Tiantian. In Liu Jingze's words, the Su family was very poor back then, but even if there was only one egg, Su Tiantian could eat half of it, and Su Zhihao would eat the other half.

No, Su Tiantian can eat an egg because Liu Jingze would give her half an egg or even a whole egg back then. Liu Jingze has been good to her since she was a child. In his words, he just wanted to be good to her and was really good to her, but he didn't know why.

Su Tiantian knew that some people said that she "earned money to buy flowers to wear" and that she was pregnant. According to the conditions of the Liu family, she could not go to work, but she worked hard. However, she felt that if she was healthy, she should still go to work. After all, she had an income and confidence. She liked working, not to mention that the Liu family needed a capable daughter-in-law. Although they didn't say it directly, the Liu family had few members. While Liu Liangjie had not retired yet, Liu Jingze also supported her to go out to work. Su Tiantian worked hard to do her current job well.

The watery moonlight quietly casts a shadow over a lush bamboo forest. The slender bamboo shadows, cast in the moonlight, are quite poetic, weaving together on the ground to form a natural ink painting. The wind blows quietly, and the bamboo leaves rustle, as if whispering someone's secret.

The bamboo forest is also a place that Su Tiantian likes.

There was a bamboo forest near the old houses of the Liu and Su families, and next to the bamboo forest was a small river. When Su Tiantian was a child, she would watch her cousins, younger brothers, younger cousins, and other children of similar age swimming in the river during the hot summer, and she would show them her clothes.

When Liu Jingze doesn't go swimming in the river, he will accompany Su Tiantian, give her sunflowers, lotus flowers, and lemons, make small toys for her, and ask his mother Ren Xingqi to make shuttlecocks and cook mung bean paste for Su Tiantian.

In this bamboo forest, there is a light mist all around, which seems not to be mist, but the smoke that has not dissipated after the fireworks. Anyway, it has a misty beauty under the moonlight, and the many red lanterns hanging in the yard add a touch of beauty.

Bursts of laughter and joyful chatter came from afar, including the voices of adults and children. Such a night is so beautiful, a kind of beauty that is completely different from the bright lights of a prosperous city.

Liu Jingze lit a firework stick and handed it to Su Tiantian. Su Tiantian took it excitedly, waved the firework stick gently, a childlike innocent smile bloomed on her face, and happiness was filled in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Liu Jingze felt warm in his heart. This was his Tian Tianmei, the Tian Tianmei he had watched grow up, the Tian Tianmei who had said she would marry him when she grew up. Now Tian Tianmei was his wife, pregnant with his two children. Liu Jingze's eyes were full of doting and affection.

In the night sky, Kongming lanterns rise slowly from time to time, and float away in the hazy moonlight, carrying people's good wishes.

Liu Jingze said: "I actually forgot to prepare Kongming lanterns. I can release them during the New Year instead of waiting until next Mid-Autumn Festival."

At this time, Su Tiantian said a little depressedly: "I don't like flying Kongming lanterns very much. It's not good if they fly too far. I remember that year, Jin Ge and his friends set off firecrackers, lit them and threw them too far away. As a result, they burned down the Yuan family's pig shed. His father beat him up and he cried so hard."

Liu Jingze smiled unceremoniously. Kang Jinming was his rival in love. He had been competing with him to play with Su Tiantian since childhood and had even gone on a blind date with Su Tiantian. Although Kang Jinming was wishful thinking, it didn't mean that Liu Jingze didn't mind at all.

In those days, burning down someone else's pigpen was a major issue, and it was a dark past for Kang Jinming, known to people from several nearby villages. When educating their children, they would tell them, "Don't be like that guy, Ajin, who played with firecrackers and burned down someone else's pigpen, forcing the family to pay compensation."

Liu Jingze lowered his head and kissed Su Tiantian's forehead, and said in a deep voice: "On the day of your brother's wedding, Kang Jinming will go, and Yuan Xingzhuo will be your brother's brother. If you mention this past event, Brother Jin will definitely be embarrassed."

Su Tiantian spoke softly and slowly, "Even if I don't tell others, they will. Jin's dark history is well known. Anyway, I didn't mention it on Zhihao's wedding day. I just remembered it while playing with fireworks sticks."

Liu Jingze's handsome face was filled with a deep smile. "Sister Tiantian, let's continue playing with the fireworks sticks. I asked the kitchen to prepare some banana bud and shredded chicken porridge. You can eat it later when you're hungry."

What love rival? His sister Tiantian never had Kang Jinming in her eyes. Jealousy was no longer worth it; cherishing the person in front of her was more important. The full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival was a time for romance and family reunion. There was really no need to mention unimportant outsiders.
