Time flies.
It seems like not long ago that I started attending a new school.
Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
Well, there are only eleven days in total since the start of school, so it really hasn’t been that long.
The main reason is that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed early.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still a long way to National Day.
Hua Ziqiang followed the season and made a lot of mooncakes to sell.
It sells so well.
Not to mention the county, even in the village many people came to him to order mooncakes.
The village only sells enough for one day, so Hua Ziqiang makes it at night.
Once it was done, Hua Xiangfan was asked to deliver it to each household.
I have to say that the mooncakes made by Hua Ziqiang are delicious.
Freshly made mooncakes do not have the strange smell and greasy feeling like those produced on the assembly line in later generations.
It is freshly made, with a fragrant smell of noodles, and when you bite into it, you can taste the fresh filling, which is sweet and delicious.
There are mooncakes filled with sesame and white sugar, red bean paste, lotus seed paste, and duck egg yolk. Of course, the most important and indispensable five-nut mooncake.
During the two days of making mooncakes, the aroma wafting from Hua Ziqiang's house was so fragrant that it could be smelled for ten miles.
Tian Shou ordered five baskets, kept two for himself, and took three home as gifts for his parents.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, the family should have a good meal.
The convenience store business is much better.
I always buy some delicious food to share with my family.
The pork seller in Zhoujiaqiao slaughtered two more pigs. They raise new piglets all year round, and the pigs they are slaughtering now were raised last summer.
Slaughter them at home and sell them at your doorstep.
Business is very good.
Li Shufen called out to her good friend, Mrs. Hong, and said, "Let's go to Zhoujiaqiao to buy some meat! If we go too late, we won't be able to get the good meat!"
Sister Hong quickly took the money and the basket and ran out.
"Hurry up! We probably won't get a chance to buy the fat meat, so let's just hope we can get a good piece of lean meat. Don't let it be just bones by the time we get there!"
"How many mooncakes did your family order?" Li Shufen asked quietly.
Mrs. Hong made no secret of it: "Oh, we only ordered two boxes, one for each of us to eat, that's enough!"
One box contains five mooncakes wrapped in paper, and two boxes contain ten.
Li Shufen just divided her family, and there are six people in her family.
"My family is also planning to buy two boxes. The little one can't finish all the mooncakes yet. Each of us can have two pieces. We can eat as much as we want this year!"
We just separated, and now I am finally free both physically and mentally, and financially, and can eat as much as I want!
The factory's business is good this year, Wu Muxiang waved his hand.
The wages of all workers increased from 30 to 35.
The extra five dollars can buy several pounds of meat.
As for the Hua family, they naturally made preparations as well.
As a villager of Zhoujiaqiao, Old Man Zhou had the advantage of being close to the village. He bought two kilograms of fat meat, cut off half a kilogram, and sent them to Old Hua's house along with more than ten kilograms of peanuts and sesame seeds.
This is enough to prove that Old Man Zhou is still quite generous to his relatives, especially his daughter's family.
Wan Qingliu also prepared a return gift.
Six pounds of longan, three pounds of red dates, two pounds of white sugar, two boxes of mooncakes, one pound of brown sugar, a can of honey, and a few uneaten chickens frozen in the refrigerator.
Wan Qingliu: "Father-in-law, children like to eat chicken feet and wings. There is a lot of chicken left after cutting these. We also want to avoid waste. Please don't be disgusted."
Father Zhou sighed, "Your family is really meticulous. They even throw away the chicken feet, chicken wings, and chicken meat just to eat them."
Even if the Hua family doesn’t eat it, the Zhou family doesn’t mind.
I don’t usually have much meat to eat, but this time I can take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to return the gifts to my relatives and have a big meal of chicken.
Old Man Zhou came with more than ten pounds of gifts and went home with many gifts. At least Old Lady Qian was quite surprised.
They are all good things!
That half pound of fat meat was not wasted.
You also need to go around to Lao Wan's house in the commune.
Hua Aihua received instructions from her mother and took two boxes of mooncakes, two bags of dried lychees and two dried cuttlefish to Lao Wan's house.
When I came back I caught two big grass carp.
It is said that Wan Shenghua went fishing when he was bored.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hua Wanli, Fang Jianzhong and Su Qiuying all took Xiao Huan home.
When a family reunion comes, it is natural for the whole family to have a reunion dinner together.
After dinner, the table was filled with melon seeds, peanuts, a plate of mooncakes and sliced watermelon.
The family sat together to eat and chat, and Hua Wanchi was mentioned.
Su Qiuying: "Come to think of it, Chi Chi is in fifth grade now, right? There's only one year left."
Zhou Yujiao: "I'll be going to junior high school in the second half of next year."
"When Chi Chi comes to the county to attend junior high school, why don't you stay at my place? I have a spare room at my house. I'll clean it up and give it to Chi Chi."
Hua Xuguo disagreed: "After all, your family lives with Xiaocheng and his brother. It's not convenient for a girl like Chichi to stay with you."
Hua Wanli: "Then you can live with me. My house has three rooms. Jianzhong and I will have one, my mom will have one, and the remaining room can be cleaned out for Chi Chi. Mom can also take care of Chi Chi by the way."
At least the food is better when you live at home than at school, and the living experience is not that bad at all.
Su Qiuying thought this made sense and nodded quickly, "Yes, if Chi Chi stays with me, I can wash her clothes and cook for her. Wouldn't that make her study much easier?"
Hua Xuguo was still not very happy: "Why should I trouble you with this?"
"What's the big deal? We're all family. It doesn't matter." Fang Jianzhong was afraid that everyone might have opinions about him, so he spoke up.
Wan Qingliu said that this is not a problem.
"Just buy a house in the county, and I'll go and accompany you to study in person!"
These words surprised everyone present.
Everyone looked at her.
Old Flower: "What are you going to do?"
What it's like when a couple separates.
It was impossible for him to live in the county town. After all, someone had to guard the house in his hometown and someone had to cultivate the land.
Zhou Yujiao smiled and said, "Mom, I don't have anything to do every day anyway, so I can just go and accompany him to study alone. Are you still worried that I, your biological mother, will feel wronged?"
Wan Qingliu smiled slyly: "Chi Chi will need at least six years to study in the county. If I buy a house now, I can live in it for six years without losing money. When I'm done living in it, I can sell it."
It was still the early 1980s. By the time Hua Wanchi graduated from high school, it would be the 1990s. House prices would not go up, and they would definitely not go down.
No matter how you look at it, it's not a loss.
Although most of the houses are allocated by the units now and there are few people selling their houses, you can still find them if you look for them.
Buying a house for a hundred dollars is nothing to Wan Qingliu.
Hua Xuguo seemed to be lost in thought. He felt that what his mother said made sense.
But his mother doesn't care about a few hundred dollars, he does.
Judging from the situation, his mother is planning to pay for the house. This house was bought for his family lately. If he pays less, he can get more benefits from his mother.
Hua Xuguo thought about it for a while and felt that his family was not at a disadvantage at all.
Therefore, he did not plan to buy a house in the county himself.
There are still a few houses in Beijing, and no matter how you calculate it, the housing prices are rising faster than in this small county town.
