Chapter 99 Mid-Autumn Festival
Ye Wangshu and Zhou Xiaohong followed the police to the police station to take a statement, and then took a bus back home.
"Little sister, don't tell mom about what happened in the store, or she will worry."
"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Xiaohong raised her hand and gestured in front of her.
But two days later, the police notified Ye Wangshu to collect compensation for the damage to the store caused by Jiang Zhanger.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the tradition in the compound is for everyone to celebrate together, with all families in the compound preparing for the event together.
Either contribute manpower or spend money to buy various supplies.
In addition to the first time, people will also be arranged to perform.
Ever since Zhou Jincong and Ye Wangshu got married, the aroma of food from the Zhou family has been particularly tempting every time it’s dinner time.
With the guarantees from Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu, everyone recommended that Ye Wangshu take charge.
Ye Wangshu naturally went there happily.
Before the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Ye Wangshu had people set up the scene.
On that day, Ye Wangshu and several women in the compound who were recognized for their good cooking skills started to get busy.
Even Mrs. Zhang, who was pregnant, came to help prepare the ingredients.
Because she was pregnant, Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand meat, but there were plenty of vegetarian dishes. She worked very hard, and everyone else worked even harder.
Just the dishes took Ye Wangshu and his men an entire afternoon to prepare.
As the sky gradually darkened, the courtyard was decorated with lights and was filled with joy.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Jincong and his friends naturally went home for the holiday.
Even the leader's wife came to the compound to join in the fun.
"The food this year is so delicious. I envy Captain Zhou for being able to eat such delicious meals every day."
"Captain Zhou, you have to let your sister-in-law teach her this skill. You can't be the only one enjoying it!"
Zhou Jincong is capable, and the people under him are all good at what they do.
Everyone was keen to talk to him.
Zhou Jincong was drinking and chatting happily, while Ye Wangshu was also chatting about family matters in a very lively manner.
After the dinner, those who had signed up early to perform walked to the open space in the middle of the brigade yard.
Some of them sang loudly, some performed funny skits, and some even just started dancing with everyone.
The people in the compound were having a great time, but after all, there were only a few people, and although it was lively, it always felt like something was missing.
"Not far from the compound, the city has teamed up with several villages to prepare a Mid-Autumn Festival gala, and there's an art troupe performing there. For those of you who can't wait, that's the perfect place to go."
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm had waned, the leader's wife began to give them a reminder.
The compound is neither close nor far from the venue of the party.
If you walk there, it will take about twenty minutes.
Many people backed off when they thought of the distance.
"Honey, how about we go to that party and join in the fun? I don't even know what the Mid-Autumn Festival party here is like!"
Ye Wangshu had heard a lot of compliments today and was very excited, so he pulled Zhou Jincong over.
Mrs. Zhang was pregnant and tired early on, so she didn't plan to go with Ye Wangshu.
"Okay, just the two of us?"
There were many people around, and Zhou Jincong was afraid that Ye Wangshu would be bumped into, so he turned sideways and held Ye Wangshu in his arms.
When everyone saw him like this, they immediately started to make a fuss.
"How can it be just the two of you! Zhou Jincong, you can't just focus on your wife and forget about your brothers!"
Qin Cheng pretended to be displeased, raised his fist and looked at Zhou Jincong's shoulder.
Zhou Jincong's face froze and he was about to refuse.
At this time, Zhou Xiaohong came over and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you going? I want to go out and play.
But my eldest brother and his wife didn’t want to go. Mom said if you guys didn’t go, she wouldn’t let me go either.”
After Zhou Xiaohong's interruption, the number of people going to the party increased rapidly.
By the time Zhou Jincong and Ye Wangshu came to their senses, they were already halfway there surrounded by the crowd.
Zhou Jincong looked at Ye Wangshu with regret, then held Ye Wangshu's hand tightly.
Naturally, this scene was seen by many people. They were pushing and shoving each other, exchanging glances, with smiles on their faces.
"Hey! Ye Wangshu, I thought I wouldn't see you today!"
Gu Hongqi arrived at the party early, looking forward to seeing Ye Wangshu, but he didn't expect that she would show up even after the show started.
"Sister Hong, you're here to join in the fun!" Ye Wangshu greeted her first, then explained, "We have a tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival together in our compound. If you keep making noise for too long, you'll be late."
"It would be great if it was like this over there. Come on, I know someone who can take you inside!"
"Hey! Me, me, me, I want to go inside and take a look too. I'm so short, I can't see anything from outside."
Zhou Xiaohong came up to Gu Hongqi like a crowd pleaser. "Hello, sister. I just heard my sister-in-law call you Sister Hong. My name also has the character 'Hong' in it. Good sister, since we are so destined to be together, can you take me in too?"
Zhou Xiaohong blinked and looked at Gu Hongqi with a pleading look.
Facing a pair of bright and sparkling eyes, Gu Hongqi simply couldn't refuse.
"OK!"
Gu Hongqi agreed immediately, and there was a jeer from behind him.
"Sister Hong, we're here too! Good sister, please take us in too!"
"Go away! A bunch of grown men, isn't that disgusting? Find a way out on your own!"
Gu Hongqi glared fiercely at the back, then took Zhou Xiaohong's hand and looked at Ye Wangshu, "Come on, follow me in."
Ye Wangshu looked back at Zhou Jincong, a little hesitant.
"Ah! Wangshu, I knew you guys would come over. Come on, I can take two people inside."
