On the fifteenth of August, Lu Zheng met Bai Si.
Bai Si brought Gu Xin's letter, as well as several truckloads of mooncakes.
"General, these are mooncakes that Miss Gu asked me to bring for you to distribute to your brothers," Bai Si said, handing the letter to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng chuckled; this had happened in his past life too.
However, by then he had already returned to the capital, and all his men were stationed outside the city. Gu Xin had the kitchen prepare as many mooncakes as there were men.
Gu Xin said that after the soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield and returned victorious, they were unable to go home and reunite with their families in time. The soldiers were all men, and who would make mooncakes for so many people at once? Everyone fought desperately to kill the enemy, and the silver they received was sent back home. They certainly couldn't bear to buy them.
Lu Zheng instructed Bai Si and his deputy to distribute the mooncakes to the teams.
These tall, strong men in the army were stunned for a moment when they received the mooncakes. They looked at the mooncakes in their hands and then at the moon in the sky.
Those with relatives were thinking of their family back home; those without relatives were probably thinking of something else entirely.
Lu Zheng ate a mooncake, looked up at the sky, and kept a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, the Gu family is also enjoying a joyful family reunion.
Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Xiaoba are three months apart, but they are like twins. If one cries, the other will definitely cry immediately.
Cai Xiaolian and Yang Xiaohuan tried to comfort Gu Xiaoqi, but the two of them couldn't do it together. They had to keep a distance so that Gu Xiaoqi, who was almost five months old, couldn't see Gu Xiaoba.
Zhang was extremely envious. If she and her two younger siblings had given birth to one child in the same year, how wonderful that would be! Three sons crying together, how lively that would be!
With that thought, her gaze toward Uncle Gu became intense.
Uncle Gu shuddered and poured wine for his father, his brother, Huo Junhao, Qian Liangduo, and Hu Liang, saying, "Drink, drink! We won't leave until we're drunk! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Uncle Gu: I want to get drunk, I want to get drunk, nothing can stop me from getting drunk!
He's been tormented by his wife these past few days. Even though he has a lot of energy, he can't keep up with her constant tormenting!
This woman is going too far. She only acted like this during the off-season, but now that he's busy, she's still clinging to him!
Oh, his damn charm!
The Gu family and Hu Liang were alright; they could withstand Uncle Gu's drinking. But Hu Liang was a martial arts practitioner.
But the two frail scholars, Huo Junhao and Qian Liangduo, were no match for them. Who could withstand such a display of strength?
The second and third place winners exchanged a glance and thought, "Okay, let's slip away!"
Huo Junhao suddenly stood up: "Grandpa Gu, Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Brother Hu, this cup of Little Mouse is for you! After I finish this cup, I have to go out to see the moon with Sisi and Enzi. I promised him, so I won't drink anymore!"
Gu En and Gu Si: "?"
Qian Liangduo also stood up, raised his glass, and said the same thing.
Grandpa Gu chuckled and said, "You kids should go out and play! Although this backyard is quite big, it still can't compare to the lake near the restaurant. It's much better to watch the moon there! There's also a night market to explore on the snack street!"
Huo Junhao and Qian Liang breathed a sigh of relief, finished their drinks heartily, and then called the Gu siblings to go out and play together.
This time, Gu Ren insisted on joining in, even though his sisters usually didn't include him in their activities because they thought he was too much trouble.
With Gu En around, the two brothers have recently started collaborating again to write storybooks to make money, so Gu En is still very willing to include him.
