Only then did Jiang Si realize that her shoelaces had loosened at some point.
While Huo Tingzhou was tying his shoelaces, he said softly, "It's not that I don't want to call you, it's just that there's no room left now."
He just went there, and his fourth uncle and his family had already arrived.
This year, my cousins got married one after another and had children one after another.
The living room and kitchen are now as crowded as dumplings.
He finally squeezed into the kitchen, but before he could even open his mouth, he was kicked out by Mrs. Huo.
"Mom said we just need to take care of the baby and don't have to worry about dinner."
"But we can't just wait to eat ready-made food every day!" Jiang Si felt a little sorry.
My third uncle also thinks this is the case.
No matter what, it’s better to go there early and not keep the in-laws waiting.
As they were talking, he and Uncle Zhong packed up the things they were going to take with them.
The in-laws know etiquette, so they can't be any worse.
"Go to the front and buy some more pomegranates and crabapples. Oh, and bring the water chestnuts that Lao Jiu sent over as well."
Jiang Si said: "No need to buy, there are so many in this courtyard..."
I saw my mother pointing at the pomegranate tree.
The two little guys who were drinking pomegranate juice instantly raised their heads.
Two pairs of big eyes stared eagerly at the red fruits on the tree.
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle quickly patted their little heads and said, "Don't pick them, don't pick them. They are all yours!"
It’s not that he’s stingy.
Actually, there are too many people here today. If he picks them all, what will he use to comfort his two precious kids in the future?
"Listen to your third uncle," said Huo Tingzhou.
After they all said so, Jiang Si stopped talking.
Fortunately, today is a festival, and the supply of fruit is quite sufficient.
When they got home, Second Brother Huo and his friends were moving tables, so Huo Tingzhou rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
There are so many people today that we may not be able to set up three tables.
The Huo family didn't have a rule that women and children couldn't sit at the table. After all, it was a festive occasion, and more people would make it more lively.
Having more people is not only more lively, but also makes work faster.
As soon as the table was wiped, everyone started to serve the dishes one after another.
We are all family, so there is no need to be so particular. Today, all the dishes are served in enamel bowls.
Each table has two cold dishes, followed by three meat dishes and six stir-fried dishes, and finally a large mooncake.
There are twelve dishes in total, and that’s it.
"Just take whatever you want to eat. If you don't have enough, there's more in the kitchen." Mrs. Huo said.
I didn’t cook many dishes today, but the portions were quite generous.
The enamel basin couldn't hold it all, so the rest was placed in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, please come and sit down." Aunt Huo said as she moved to the side.
The Huo family is large, but they all follow the rules.
No one can start eating first until everyone is present.
Even Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were now sitting obediently in the arms of Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou.
Mrs. Huo also knew this, so she quickly sat down next to her sister-in-law.
"Let's eat!" the old man said happily.
The family talked and laughed, ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It wasn't until dark that everyone put down their chopsticks one after another.
After dinner, Jiang Si wanted to help clean up, but Huo's mother refused to let her.
"No, no, today is a holiday, you guys should do whatever you need to do."
There are many camphor trees in the family compound, which makes it inconvenient to enjoy the moon, so after dinner, everyone will stroll to the square in front.
If you don't want to appreciate the moon, you can go to the movies.
Two movies were shown in the auditorium of the family compound today.
They are all new movies released this year, and they are very good.
Knowing that his wife had no interest in movies, Huo Tingzhou said, "How about we go out for a walk?"
"Yeah." Jiang Si nodded.
She slept a little long in the afternoon, so she wasn't sleepy now.
It's good to go out and help digestion.
Actually, this was her first time to truly appreciate the moon.
There is no way. There are so many ways to entertain people in the future. Even during a festival like Mid-Autumn Festival, few people can calm down and appreciate the moonlight outside.
At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight made the path near the family compound particularly clear.
There were many people in the square, so they didn't join in the fun.
The family of four took a walk around the staff quarters and saw that Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were already feeling sleepy, their little heads nodding.
Huo Tingzhou held their little butts and held the two children in his arms, one on the left and one on the right.
He is really a slave to his children and won't let them suffer any grievance.
Jiang Si was about to make a joke when she saw Mother Huo rushing out of the family compound with a large bag of things.
