On the full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the vast night sky is dotted with stars. The bright moon appears, hanging high in the sky, casting a silvery light.
Big red lanterns hang high at Siqi Farm, emitting a warm and festive glow. Business is booming today, partly because it's Mid-Autumn Festival and partly because of the farm's beautiful environment.
The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner was eaten at the farm. Liu Zhaosheng accompanied Grandma Lu back to the villa. Liu Liangjie and Liu Jingze were busy, while Su Tiantian and Ren Zhengyu stayed in the small courtyard reserved for the Liu family.
There is a large table in the yard, filled with various Mid-Autumn Festival foods, including exquisite moon cakes, sweet fruits, delicious pastries, drinks, taro, water chestnuts, etc.
Ren Zhengyu walked around the small courtyard excitedly with an exquisite lantern in his hand, and the warm light swayed in the night.
Su Tiantian was wearing a long loose top with contrasting pink and white stripes and light blue leggings, standing under a lush osmanthus tree. The branches and leaves of the osmanthus tree swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight rustling sound, and the golden little flowers fell, as if it was raining fragrant flowers. Several little flowers fell on Su Tiantian's shoulders and hair.
A gentle breeze blew, carrying the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and the coolness of the night. Moonlight poured like water on the dark floor tiles, casting a hazy glow.
When Liu Jingze entered the yard wearing a simple white shirt and dark trousers, he saw Su Tiantian like this. Under the moonlight and under the osmanthus tree, the scenery was beautiful and the people were beautiful.
"Cousin." At this time, Ren Zhengyu saw Liu Jingze and hurried over.
Liu Jingze said, "Ayu, A'an, Azhi, and Achao will accompany you to the riverbank to set off fireworks, okay?"
Ren Zhengyu asked, "Aren't you going?"
Liu Jingze whispered in his ear, "Can you let your cousin accompany your wife? An is a local and is very familiar with the area. He will take you to some fun and delicious places."
Ren Zhengyu nodded: "Okay, you accompany your cousin's wife. She can't go to crowded places, and there are some things she can't eat. It's quite pitiful."
Ren Zhengyu is naughty and simple, but also very considerate. He was born in Kuoshan City and has loved seafood since he was a child. Tonight's dinner includes his favorite hairy crabs, but Su Tiantian is not suitable to eat them because she is pregnant, so he felt sorry for her at the time.
Su Tiantian, who doesn't feel sorry for herself...
Guo Qi'an had already walked quickly into the yard, his slightly chubby face full of smiles. "Master Yu, the riverbank is very lively tonight. There are many small stalls in the park along the riverbank selling all kinds of exquisite handicrafts and delicious snacks. Many people are also setting off fireworks and sky lanterns. Oh, and there are also stalls playing games."
Ren Zhengyu said, "Let's go, let's get the fireworks sticks first. I bought three boxes."
Guo Qi'an said, "Wow, there are three boxes of them? I want to play too."
Watching Ren Zhengyu holding a lantern and leading Guo Qian and others out of the small courtyard, Su Tiantian smiled. She understood Liu Jingze's thoughts and said, "Brother Jing, are you done?"
Liu Jingze said, "Dad is here, so I'll take some time to come and keep you company." He quickly walked to Su Tiantian, squatted carefully, and put his ear against Su Tiantian's belly to feel the baby's movements.
Su Tiantian grabbed Liu Jingze's hand and placed it on her left abdomen. She could clearly feel the ups and downs under her palm. Su Tiantian said, "The babies miss you."
Su Tiantian's face was filled with happiness and anticipation, and her eyes were filled with maternal tenderness.
After a while, Liu Jingze stood up and gently held Su Tiantian's hand, saying softly: "Sister Tiantian, I'm sorry for wronging you. Not only did I not take you out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I also made you accompany me to work overtime."
Su Tiantian raised her head slightly and responded with a smile: "I'm not feeling wronged. I'm resting today and will sleep after eating. If I feel bored, your little cousin will play with me. It's you who's working hard. You have to work hard during holidays to earn money to support me and the babies."
Liu Jingze and Su Tiantian were staring at each other quietly under the osmanthus tree, with each other's shadows reflected in their eyes. In fact, when they were young, they also stared at each other quietly under the lemon tree on the Mid-Autumn full moon night. Many years later, the childhood sweethearts became husband and wife, and it seemed that their fate was predestined.
Liu Jingze put his arm around Su Tiantian's waist, sat down at the table, peeled a pomelo, and then slowly took a slice and fed it to Su Tiantian.
There was no one else around, so Su Tiantian didn't hesitate to let him feed her. She gently stroked her swollen belly with one hand and opened her mouth to accept Liu Jingze's feeding.
At this time, colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, lighting up the entire sky like a beautiful painting.
Liu Jingze said, "I heard there's a fireworks display downtown, along with many unique performances. I can only take you to see it next year."
Su Tiantian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and said, "I'm willing to be with you, even if I don't go anywhere, even if I have to work overtime."
Liu Jingze smiled, his eyes full of care and love, and a low voice sounded: "Although I don't have as many fireworks sticks as A Yu's three boxes, I still prepared some. Let's set them off in the yard with the bamboo. You can't play here, otherwise you will be scolded tomorrow."
Su Tiantian's eyes flashed: "I didn't expect that Mr. Liu was afraid of being scolded even in his own place."
Liu Jingze sighed deliberately: "There's nothing we can do. The courtyard with the bamboo is open to guests and is cleaned every day. If extra manpower is needed to clean this courtyard, my salary will be deducted. If my salary is deducted, my wife, Mrs. Liu, will have less money to spend."
The expenses incurred by the Liu family's exclusive courtyard cannot be included in the farm's expenses, so Liu Jingze said this. The same applies to the Xiao family's exclusive courtyard.
Friendship is friendship, but when doing business together, the amounts must be clear. The Liu and Xiao families have not had any major quarrels over the years because everyone knows the limits and the sense of boundaries. Otherwise, if you bring people in to eat and drink without paying, and I do the same, how can the business continue?
Mrs. Liu—Su Tiantian suppressed the upward curve of her lips and responded with a playful smile: "Mrs. Liu not only has a salary for Mrs. Liu, but also the rent from the house and shop. If Mrs. Liu still doesn't have enough money, doesn't Mr. Liu still have three portions of pocket money to give to Mrs. Liu?"
When Su Tiantian mentioned pocket money, Liu Jingze couldn't help laughing. The pocket money given to him by Liu Liangjie, Liu Zhaosheng and the Ren family was indeed not given to Su Tiantian, but he used it himself.
Liu Jingze gently kissed Su Tiantian's lips. The starry sky, the moon, the osmanthus tree, the pomelo lanterns, the Mid-Autumn Festival food, and the beautiful woman by his side. In such a romantic and beautiful environment, wouldn't it be a waste of this romance and warmth if he didn't kiss his beloved?
But if they could avoid deducting their wages, they might as well do so, so the two of them walked hand in hand towards another yard.
