The sound of children's laughter came from the yard. A group of children were playing on the seesaw, swinging on the swings, playing games, and those who had the chance to play played first, while those who didn't play watched from the side. The older ones gave way to the younger

ones. Occasionally, there would be a little conflict, but everyone would make up quickly. The third uncle, who usually had a gloomy face and a bad face, was swinging for the children and making them happy, which was exactly what the children liked. Blind Aunt Liu sat on a small stool, listening to the children's laughter, and a smile appeared on her face.

The older elders sat aside, drinking tea and chatting, and helped to watch the children and do some light work. The younger brothers were washing vegetables and cutting meat, while the kitchen was busy. When the carriage came back from the town, Cao Dapeng went into the kitchen to help cook.

When Cao Xiangnan and his group came back from the village after distributing moon cakes, they saw Cao Dapeng cooking there, looking a bit like a chef. He nodded seriously and said, "Well, very good."

"Xiangnan, you're back." Cao Dapeng was a little embarrassed by the compliment and smiled with a silly look on his face.

"Well, I just went to the village with your Chen Hong and Li Zheng to distribute moon cakes, and they just came back." It's better to have someone to help you share the burden than to do it all by yourself. Cao Xiangnan reached out and patted Cao Dapeng on the shoulder. He didn't have any intention of snatching Cao Dapeng's chance to show off. He asked him to continue working hard, and he was happy and relaxed.

When he heard that his wife was back, Cao Dapeng looked back and didn't see anyone. He thought she was outside. Chen Hong happened to walk in from outside at this time. Seeing her husband cooking, she came over to take a look and even complimented him.

Cao Dapeng's mouth was about to crack to his ears, and he smiled like a flower.

Silly husband! Chen Hong also smiled, came in and greeted her husband, and he went out to help.

The sky was full of clouds in the west, and there were waves of fragrance coming from the kitchen. The cooked dishes were served in a large pot, and the diligent brothers outside helped to set up the table and stools, and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Everyone come and sit down, the dishes are almost ready, and we are ready to eat." Someone came out and shouted.

"Auntie Liu, I will help you over." Auntie Zhao said goodbye to his wife, and took the initiative to help the blind Auntie Liu over. He also knew the affairs of Auntie Liu's family, and she was also a pitiful person.

Auntie Liu said "thank you" repeatedly, and followed the person who helped her over with a cane in one hand.

Sun Bailian went over and led a group of children to line up, from the oldest to the youngest, to wash their hands at the well, and drew water from the big basin. Chen Hong also came over to help, helping the children wash their hands. Wu Yue was still in Nanyang and had not come back yet. When he saw Xiao Doudou, he touched him. He only had two children in his family, and he loved the little brother very much.

The cooked dishes were served on the table one by one. Today was a festival, and the family invited everyone to dinner, and the dishes were rich. There

were many people eating at home, and there were also many people helping with the housework, so soon all the dishes were served on the table. Cao Xiangnan took off the scarf around his chest and called to the people who were still in the kitchen, "We are going to eat too. Put down what you are doing and do the rest later."

"Go, go, go, go out quickly." In case the people outside are still waiting for them.

There are delicious dishes on the table, and the mellow rice wine is poured out from the jar. The men love to drink a sip of strong rice wine, and the brothers also drink a sip of red wine to celebrate the festival. Everyone is talking and laughing at the table. The voices of the adults are accompanied by the giggles of the children.

Smoke from cooking fires rose in the small village. Many families had set up their meals. Adults and children sat down. There were vegetables and meat on the table. Large pieces of meat were put into the children's bowls. There was no need to fight for a small piece of meat. The children could eat until their bellies were full, and the adults could eat their fill.

This was the best Mid-Autumn Festival for the people in Caojia Village. They believed that the days ahead would only get better and better. Everyone had a beautiful expectation in their hearts.

The afterglow of the setting sun hit everyone's faces, and every face was filled with smiles.

Time passed quietly in joy. After dinner, the dishes on the tables were cleared one by one. Chen Hong and Sun Bailian squatted by the well, washing the dishes neatly.

The stove has been set up in the yard, and they are preparing for a barbecue. After dinner, everyone stayed at Cao Xiangnan's place and did not go home. Tonight, several families are worshipping the moon at Cao Xiangnan's place, waiting to eat barbecue. On

August 15, Fengchao also has the custom of worshipping the moon. Tonight, the villagers will not go to bed as soon as it gets dark as usual. They will wait for the moon to come out and worship the moon before going to bed.

Fruits and snacks are placed on the table. They can only eat them after the moon comes out and worships the moon. The children are no longer gathered around the food, but are playing there. The marinated meat is brought out, and the meat and vegetables are being skewered here. The charcoal fire in the stove over there has been lit, and once the skewer is done, it will be put on the grill.

As soon as the meat on the rack was brushed with oil, it made a sizzling sound. After a while, the aroma of meat came out. Cao Xiangnan squatted there and showed everyone how to roast the meat and how to add the spices. The spices became stronger. He asked, "Do you see the smell coming out?"

"Yeah." A certain tiger stared at the meat and drooled.

Although everyone had just finished dinner, the barbecued meat and mushrooms were very popular when they were served, especially the children, who each had a skewer and had no resistance to the barbecue.

"I'll make a pot of chrysanthemum tea. After everyone eats the barbecue, they can drink some chrysanthemum tea to reduce internal heat. Don't eat too much. I'm afraid you'll get angry." Cao Xiangnan stood up and gave the barbecue stall to Wang Dahu. When he saw his son Wanfeng eating barbecue skewers, he gave instructions.

"Yes." Qi Wanfeng handed the skewers in his hand to his husband's mouth. When his husband took a bite, his eyes were full of smiles.

Originally, there was nothing much in the past few days, but when her husband came back, her appetite suddenly increased. Now she has returned to the days of eating and sleeping well as before. The baby in my belly seems to know that his father is back. He has been very well behaved these days and doesn't bother him anymore. Eating well and

sleeping well will make you feel better, and your mood will naturally be better.

Knowing that there would be a barbecue tonight, Cao Xiangnan even went to Doctor Luo to buy a few chrysanthemums so that everyone could have some to drink after the barbecue. Otherwise, it would be easy to get a sore throat in this weather, and once you get a sore throat, it’s no joke.

He washed the chrysanthemums and put them in the boiling water in the pot, and a scent of chrysanthemums wafted out.

The sun in the west slowly set into the mountains, and it got darker, and the lanterns in the yard were lit. A red moon rose slowly from the east, and when they saw the moon rising, the children cheered, "The moon is out, the moon is out... ? The moon is out, and we have to prepare to worship the moon.

"Third uncle, you are the oldest here, come on. "The elders in the family worshipped the moon. The oldest one here was my third uncle. Cao Xiangnan put the burnt incense into his hand and handed the task of worshiping the moon to him.
