As the moon sets, lights and shadows shine brightly along the riverbank of Xiaohe Town, and the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering held every four years gathers many people.
Wei Lai still remembers the last time he came here when he was six years old. At that time, Xu Xiang and Wei Zikang were still worried about him playing alone, so they both held his hands and came here.
Wei Lai had a vague impression that it was at that time that he suddenly discovered that he had the ability to predict the future.
As for when exactly it would be available, he himself was not sure.
Memory is like a sleeping person who suddenly wakes up. He doesn't know anything that happened in the dark night of memory, but only knows what happened when he was awake.
Now that he was ten years old, he no longer needed Xu Xiang and Wei Zikang to hold his hand. He could just follow them and look around.
Wei Lai had already agreed with Qingting to go to the fair together, but he did not choose to go to Qingting's house to find her.
The look in Qing Qishu's eyes left such a deep impression on him that he always felt that if he took the initiative to look for Qing Ting, Qing Qishu would change his attitude again.
Moreover, facing Wei Zikang and Xu Xiang, he was too embarrassed to tell them that he wanted to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival fair with a girl.
Anyway, since we are all here, we will meet each other eventually.
Wei Lai muttered to himself, his eyes continuing to search for Qingting and her family in the crowd.
Without the burden of a son, Wei Zikang felt like he was back to the time when he and his wife were in love when he held Xu Xiang's hand.
"Honey, I heard there will be fireworks after the rally." Xu Xiang said, and like Wei Lai, she looked everywhere for the fireworks.
"Every time we go to the market, Old Man Xu and his men always charge them some stall fees. This is the last time, so they have to pay a little. We've invited a fireworks team to set off the fireworks, so you don't have to look for them. They won't show up before the time comes."
As they walked along, Wei Zikang saw a stall not far away that was displaying musical instruments such as the erhu, and he immediately excitedly pulled Xu Xiang.
"Wife, let's go over there and take a look. It's not easy to find an erhu for sale these days."
"Okay, but you have to accompany me later to look at the perfume and sachets... Xiao Wei, you can play by yourself, and if you get lost, just go home."
"oh."
here we go again.
Wei Lai has also become accustomed to his parents always throwing him aside.
He took out a green frog-shaped wallet from his pocket. He bought it at the market during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time. He used it to keep his pocket money.
Looking through the money in his wallet, he found that there was quite a bit of money in small change, all of which he had saved.
He seldom spent money. Sometimes when he wanted to read comics, he would ask Wei Zikang to buy them for him on his way home from get off work.
My dad always likes to borrow his abilities, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of his wallet.
The Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holiday coincide with each other, and it is the last Mid-Autumn Festival market. It seems that people from all over the town have gathered here.
The riverbank, where three cars can usually drive side by side, was now crowded with people.
After Wei Lai separated from his parents, he squeezed in the crowd for a long time but couldn't find Qingting. He saw a stall selling candied haws not far away, and his eyes lit up as he walked over there.
Unlike what is shown in TV dramas, where strings of hawthorn fruits wrapped in rock sugar are inserted into sorghum stalks, the stall selling candied haws is a large glass cabinet. Inside the glass cabinet, there are not only hawthorn fruits wrapped in rock sugar, but also oranges, honeydew melons, kiwis, mangoes and other fruits. Small pieces are strung on bamboo sticks, and under the yellow light of the incandescent lamp on the glass cabinet, they look like works of art.
Wei Lai squeezed out of the crowd and was just about to take out his wallet to buy candied haws when the little man standing next to the glass cabinet caught his eye.
Her hair had been washed and combed, falling softly on her shoulders. In the gathering filled with warm yellow lights, the blue skirt she wore looked like an elf suddenly emerging from the darkness. When she saw him, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with the sugar residue from the candied haws, making her look naughty and very charming.
"I knew I could wait for you here. Come on, play with me." After Qingting caught Wei Lai, she held the candied haws she had just bought in one hand, grabbed Wei Lai's hand with the other, and walked in another direction.
"Wait a minute, I haven't bought my candied haws yet."
"Don't buy it. I can't finish it. I'll give you two."
Wei Lai looked at the candied haws stall that was getting farther and farther away from him, but Qing Ting beside him had no intention of letting go, and handed the remaining candied haws strings in her hand to Wei Lai.
Seeing that he could not break free from the witch's control, Wei Lai reluctantly took the candied haws, bit half of it, chewed the sour and sweet taste in his mouth, and muttered:
"I've already eaten the hawthorn one, I want to try something else."
"Don't try it, it tastes terrible."
"How do you know? You haven't eaten it."
“I haven’t eaten it, but I just know it.”
Holding Wei Lai's hand, Qingting squeezed with him in the crowd, her tone very affirmative.
She waited for Wei Lai at the candied haws stall for a long time, and heard many people's comments on the candied haws. Naturally, she knew which kind of candied haws tasted better.
"In the afternoon, you said you would give me a reward. Was it this candied haws?" Wei Lai asked casually after finishing chewing a candied haws.
"Reward? You said it was a reward this afternoon when you said my clothes looked nice. I forgot about it. Do you want it so badly?" Qing Ting stopped and turned to look at Wei Lai in confusion. Her tone was as if she had really forgotten, which made Wei Lai's scalp numb.
[It starts again. He has to tease me several times a day before he’s satisfied.]
Wei Lai lowered his head and munched on the candied haws. He didn't want Qingting to think otherwise. He just wanted him to think of the candied haws as a reward. That way he could feel at ease.
"Because I know you like to eat candied haws, so I waited for you there. I bought the candied haws as a gift, not as a reward." Qingting held Wei Lai's hand and continued walking in the crowd. She stretched out her slender index finger with her other hand and gestured, explaining seriously.
