"We'll buy some more pomegranates and crabapples up ahead later. Oh, and we'll also take the water chestnuts that Lao Jiu brought over."
Jiang Si said, "There's no need to buy any, there are so many in this yard..."
He saw his mother point to the pomegranate tree.
The two little ones, who were drinking pomegranate juice, immediately raised their little heads.
Two big eyes stared longingly at the red berries on the tree.
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle quickly patted their little heads, "No, no, they're all yours!"
It's not that he's stingy.
There are just too many people today. If he picks them all, what will he use to appease his two precious children in the future?
"Let's listen to Third Uncle," Huo Tingzhou said.
Since they had all said that, Jiang Si remained silent.
Fortunately, there's a good supply of fruit today because it's a holiday.
When they arrived home, Huo Erge and the others were moving a table, and Huo Tingzhou rolled up his sleeves and quickly went to help.
There are so many people today, we might not even be able to fit them all at three tables.
The Huo family also doesn't have a rule against women and children sitting at the table; after all, it's a festival, the more people, the more lively it is.
A large group of people not only makes it lively, but also makes the work faster.
As soon as the table was wiped clean, everyone started serving the dishes one after another.
We're all family, so there's no need to be so formal. Today's dishes are all served in enamel basins.
Each table is served two cold dishes, followed by three main meat dishes and six stir-fries, and finally a large mooncake.
That makes a total of twelve dishes, and that completes the meal.
"Help yourself to eat whatever you want. There's more in the kitchen if you're not full," Mrs. Huo said.
I didn't make many dishes today, but the portions were generous.
The enamel basins couldn't hold it all, so the rest are in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, come and sit down." Aunt Huo said, moving slightly to the side.
The Huo family is large, but they are all very law-abiding.
No one can start eating until everyone is present.
Even Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were sitting obediently in Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou's arms.
Knowing this, Mrs. Huo quickly sat down next to her sister-in-law.
"Let's eat!" the old man said cheerfully.
The family chatted and laughed, eating and talking, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
It wasn't until dark that everyone gradually put down their chopsticks.
After the meal, Jiang Si wanted to help clean up, but Huo's mother wouldn't allow it.
"No need, no need. It's a holiday today, you can all go do whatever you want."
There are many camphor trees in the residential compound, making it inconvenient to enjoy the moon. Most people will stroll over to the square in front of the compound.
If you don't want to admire the moon, you can go see a movie.
Two movies were shown in the auditorium of the family compound today.
They're all new movies from this year, and they're really good.
Knowing that his wife wasn't interested in movies, Huo Tingzhou suggested, "How about we go out for a walk?"
"Mm." Jiang Si nodded.
She slept for a long time in the afternoon, so she's not sleepy now.
Going out to digest your food is a good idea.
This was, in fact, her first real experience of moon gazing.
There's no way around it; there are just too many ways to pass the time in later generations. Even on a festive occasion like the Mid-Autumn Festival, few people can calm down and properly appreciate the moonlight outside.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the path near the residential compound with exceptional clarity.
There were too many people in the square, so they didn't join in the fun.
The family of four took a walk around the neighborhood and noticed that Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were getting sleepy, their little heads nodding off.
Huo Tingzhou then lifted their little bottoms and carried the two children to his arms, one on each side.
They are truly doting parents, unwilling to let their children suffer even the slightest grievance.
Just as Jiang Si was about to make a joke, she saw Huo's mother rushing out of the family compound carrying a large bag of things.
