It was unbelievable that I had adapted so quickly, but at this moment I couldn't help but think of my parents, brother, nephew, and the niece I hadn't met yet. My eyes darkened and I sighed. I just hoped that they could be safe and happy!
"Brother Wang?"
The sudden voice interrupted his thoughts. When Wang Yu raised his head, he was a little confused and asked, "What happened?"
Chen Yanwen: "Let me ask you, are you ready to give the Master a festival gift?"
Here, during the New Year holidays, one needs to prepare gifts for the teacher, so he said, "Let's prepare it after school today."
Wang Yu and Song Boyan took the snack box from Chen Yanwen, and the teacher came in. The three of them quickly sat down.
Master Song looked at the three people below and felt relieved to know that they had been quite diligent these days and had made progress in their homework. After the class, he told them that they would have a day off tomorrow.
After settling the bill at the restaurant in the afternoon, the manager gave him a day off and told him not to come over to celebrate the festival at home tomorrow. After thanking the manager, he went to Chen Yanwen's shop and bought five boxes of mooncakes, a box of good tea, and five pieces of meat from the butcher's shop.
Three boxes of mooncakes and three pieces of meat were to be sent to the winery as welfare, an extra jar of wine was to be given to the father-in-law, and an extra box of tea was to be given to the teacher.
After buying the gifts, Wang Yu rushed to the winery, gave the gifts to his three aunts and gave them a day off, then went to his father-in-law's house to give the gifts. Mother Cheng happily took the gifts and wanted to keep him for dinner, but she didn't bring Cheng Chen with her today, so she sat for a while and then went home.
In the evening, Cheng Chen brought him a handkerchief and a sachet with a small Chinese character "Chen" embroidered on them. Wang Yu took them and felt a bit embarrassed. Since teaching him to read, Wang Yu had received several gifts. The sachet and handkerchief had the Chinese character "Yu" embroidered on them. He said, "Achen, there are so many that I can't use them all."
Cheng Chen felt a little embarrassed by what she said. She was indeed addicted to embroidering things for her husband. She hesitantly said that she would embroider less in the future.
Wang Yu patted his head and said, "Well, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be lanterns in the town at night. Let's go shopping. How about I take the word 'Chen' and you take the word 'Yu' that I embroidered earlier?"
Cheng Chen nodded, but her cheeks flushed at the thought of carrying her husband's name on her body. Wang Yu thought his husband was too shy and jokingly asked, "You're shy now?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chen pursed his lips, and with courage, he kissed Wang Yu on the cheek.
Wang Yu was a little surprised. This was the first time that her husband took the initiative to kiss him. Her husband was usually shy and had to look for opportunities to kiss and hug him. How could he miss such a good opportunity this time? He hugged her husband and kissed him so directly that he couldn't breathe.
Cheng Chen leaned in her husband's arms to calm down her emotions, and also sighed that she seemed to have become braver, but this feeling was really good. She buried her head in Wang Yu's arms with a smile on her face.
Since they didn't have to go to the academy the next day, Wang Yu took Cheng Chen to sleep in. They stayed at home all day. Wang's father and mother didn't go, so they just watched the moon in their own yard. He asked them to go for a walk. It was around six or seven o'clock in the evening before Wang Yu and Cheng Chen slowly walked towards the town.
It was already dusk when he arrived in the town. There were an unusually large number of stalls on both sides of the street today, and lanterns were hung everywhere. Wang Yu looked up and saw the bright lights interweaving in the night sky, forming a prosperous scene that could not be seen in modern times.
Wang Yu wondered how he celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in modern times. It seemed that he only knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming when his company distributed Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. On the day off, he would eat a mooncake to express that he had celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. He would also make a video call with his parents to wish each other well and chat. It was a very boring day.
Wang Yu looked at the moon in the sky, thinking that his family should be watching too. For the first time, Wang Yu wanted to convey his thoughts through the moon and silently said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Cheng Chen looked at Wang Yu and felt that her husband, who was looking at the moon at this moment, seemed to have something very important in his mind. She was not very happy, so she squeezed her husband's hand.
Feeling the strength in his hand, Wang Yu came back to his senses. He smiled at his husband's worried eyes. He knew that if he met someone he liked in this era, he wouldn't feel lonely anymore. He took Cheng Chen's hand and said, "Come on, let's go in and take a look."
There were a lot of people on the street, everyone was walking and stopping, and the sounds of shouting and chatting could be heard.
"Everyone, come and guess the lantern riddles. If you guess five correctly, you'll get a mooncake. If you guess ten correctly, you'll get the best lantern in this stall!"
Wang Yu stopped in front of the stall and asked Cheng Chen if he wanted the rabbit lantern. Cheng Chen nodded, saying he really wanted it. All the lanterns were beautiful, especially the rabbit lantern on top.
"Come on, come on, if you guess ten correctly, the lantern will be yours."
Wang Yu had never participated in such a thing before, so he was very curious about it. He was not worried that he would not be able to guess the answer. If he really couldn't guess it, he would just pay for it himself.
Wang Yu took the first puzzle, "Hidden Crescent Moon in the Sky," and pondered for a moment without a clue. Could it be that he couldn't even guess the first one? This was embarrassing...
Wang Yu suddenly thought of splitting the characters in the air. The character in the air is 'eight', and 'new moon' refers to the crescent moon that appears at the beginning of each lunar month, which is pictographed as '丿'. Therefore, 'new moon hidden' means 'one stroke removed'. The answer to the riddle is 'eight without a stroke', Wang Yu said to the stall owner.
"Correct, next question."
The streets were full of people. Some who saw Wang Yu guessing lantern riddles gathered around to watch. Of course, there were definitely more than one lantern riddle guessing stall. When they saw him answer correctly, they all commented, "That's amazing! Why didn't I think of that?"
After Wang Yu answered three questions correctly in a row, he basically mastered the rules and answered the following questions more smoothly. Cheng Chen was a little nervous when he saw more and more people surrounding them, but when he saw her husband answering one puzzle after another, he was left with only admiration.
