Xiaoguo ran to the door and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a carriage coming towards him.

Xiaoguo squinted his eyes and carefully identified whether it was the carriage that Qin Anming brought back last time. When he got closer, Xiaoguo was overjoyed. It was indeed the jujube-red horse, and the people driving the carriage were Qin Anming and Uncle Xu.

Xiaoguo quickly opened the door and let them in.

Stand farther away with Zhuangzhuang to avoid obstructing their bike riding.

Although Qin Anming had a hint of anxiety on his face, he was also too happy and walked towards Xiaoguo as soon as he got off the car.

Xiaoguo went over happily, and Zhuangzhuang rushed towards Qin Anming.

Qin Anming picked up Zhuangzhuang and weighed him skillfully. Well, he was indeed a little stronger.

"elder brother."

Xiaoguo called out to Qin Anming, then walked to the carriage and greeted Uncle Xu, Ruyi, Linglong Fuer and Xiaocui who had gotten off.

Many people greeted Xiaoguo, and Ruyi had been looking around the yard since she got off the car, making sounds of surprise from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoguo, your family is so great!"

Ruyi looked at the spacious yard, the well-organized vegetable garden, and the repaired animal shed.

Although there are many animals, the smell in the yard is still very clean, without any strange smell.

Ruyi took a deep breath, not knowing if it was an illusion, but not only was there no strange smell, but there was also a faint scent of grass and wood.

Uncle Xu got out of the car, looked around, raised his head to the sky, listened to Ruyi's words, and nodded in agreement. The scenery here is pleasant, the air is fresh, and the yard is very clean. It is really very suitable for living. When he retires in the future, he wants to live far away in such a place.

Linglong and Fuer were young, and as soon as they got off the car, they couldn't help but look around. They were especially interested in the two black and white cows and the puppy that had been barking since they came in.

Xiao Cui is older and follows Ruyi. Although she is silent, her eyes reveal her love and longing for this place. She hopes that she can have a yard like this in the future.

Xiaoguo led a group of people into the house. Qin Anming had been sitting in the lobby holding Zhuangzhuang in his arms. Linglong and Fu'er took out food and snacks bought in the county from the carriage.

"This is my first time as a guest, so I just want to show my appreciation."

Ruyi took the things with a smile and put them on the table.

"Come if you want, why bring anything?"

Xiaoguo said something very familiar.

"Give it to Zhuangzhuang. Children don't have much money for food."

Xiaoguo took it with a smile and put it back in the house.

"By the way, why are you so late today?"

Xiaoguo put away her things, returned to the lobby, looked at the group of people and asked.

"Don't mention it. We set out before noon today, but we were stopped at the county gate!"

Ruyi said angrily. She had set out happily, but was stopped at the county gate.

There was a crowd of people protesting in front, and a large group of soldiers were guarding the county gate. Anyone who resisted and disobeyed was beaten.

I was forced to get off the bus, go through the registration process, and it took me nearly an hour to get out of the county gate.

After hearing this, Xiaoguo was a little curious. Why did such a big fuss suddenly happen?

"Along the way, there were several groups of soldiers and horses passing through the road. They rode at full speed and did not stop even when they bumped into people. They looked ferocious and evil. It felt like something big was happening."

Linglong continued the conversation at the side, with a look of fear on her face.

"That's right, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't know what to do."

Xiao Cui spoke hesitantly.

"Anyway, the weather won't affect us ordinary people, so we just need to eat and drink well."

Uncle Xu was speaking leisurely on the side.

The others nodded and said that was right, as long as the common people had good food, good drink and good fun, the rest had little to do with them.

Not long after they started talking, Ruyi's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.

Before she could blush, other people's stomachs started to growl.

Even Qin Anming felt hungry, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes when he looked at Xiaoguo.

In order to set out early, they started preparing ingredients without eating breakfast. At noon, they stayed at the county gate for a long time. After finally leaving the county, they hurried to Xiaoguo's place. In the end, they couldn't bear the hunger anymore. They hadn't had any water or rice the whole day, so it was not easy for them to last half a day.

Xiao Guo felt a little funny under the expectation of everyone in the room, but he still prepared to eat! Eating early or late is still eating!

“Let’s eat!”

Xiaoguo waved her hand and everyone cheered. It’s time to eat!

Ruyi led the way and followed Xiaoguo to the kitchen. Qin Anming put Zhuangzhuang down, let him play with Uncle Xu, and went to light the fire.

Qin Anming quickly lit the fire, and Xiaoguo handed a handful of lamb skewers to Qin Anming first.

Qin Anming was grilling skewers outside, and Ruyi and the others were helping with the skewers in the kitchen, so Xiaoguo had nothing to do.

Xiaoguo first took out eight bowls, put them on the table and poured icy sour plum juice into them.

The liquid was still steaming in the bowl when Ruyi came into the house from the kitchen, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

“Delicious!”

Ruyi's eyes lit up. She loved sweet and sour drinks the most.

Xiaoguo put the jar down and suddenly remembered the osmanthus wine. It had been more than twenty days since it was made, so it was a good time to open it today.

Xiaoguo returned to the house, took out the cakes and mooncakes she had made, and placed them on the table. Then she went outside and got ten preserved eggs, went back to the kitchen, put them on a plate, mixed them well, and brought them to the table.

Then I picked some tomatoes and mixed them with sugar.

When the dishes were served on the table, Qin Anming had just finished grilling half of the lamb skewers. Ruyi was busy bringing the skewers from the kitchen, Linglong and Fu'er were also busy going in and out, and Xiao Cui and Uncle Xu were helping to brush the sauce on a skewer.

The oven is quite long, and it is more than enough for three people to grill together.

There is strength in numbers. Xiaoguo finally understood today.

Half of the skewers were served on the table. Xiaoguo called out to go back to the house to eat, and Qin Anming said that one piece had been roasted.

Xiaoguo nodded and said yes, that once a piece is roasted they can all eat it together and there is no need for someone to watch over the skewers alone.

If it gets cold, reheat it.

Xiaoguo joined the grilling team and finished after a while. It was dark outside, the yard was lit by firelight and the house was lit with warm candlelight.

A group of people gathered together, with mooncake snacks and cold vegetables placed in the middle of the table, and grilled skewers placed high around the outside.

Xiaoguo took out the osmanthus wine and said, "Pay attention, the osmanthus wine will be out soon!"

As Xiaoguo finished speaking, he exerted force with his hands to open the lid, and a refreshing floral fragrance wafted out.

Everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes and take a deep breath.

The fragrance of flowers is mixed with the aroma of wine, and you will feel drunk even if you don’t drink it.

Xiaoguo poured a cup for everyone except Zhuangzhuang. Zhuangzhuang was very curious about the taste, and while Xiaoguo wasn't paying attention, he reached into her bowl with a stick and wanted to take a sip with it.

As a result, Xiaoguo saw through his trick and gave him a bowl of sour plum soup.

The group chatted and laughed, heated up the skewers when they were cold, and had the meal until very late. In order to admire the moon, the group even worked together to move the table into the yard.

Drinking and admiring the moon.

The big, round moon hangs coldly in the sky.
