Mr. Li was in a good mood today and had a few drinks with Mr. Gu and Li Boyan.
After eating hot pot, everyone sat in the yard, drinking tea and eating snow skin moon cakes. After admiring the moon for a while, Li Boyan was about to leave.
Li Yunshu packed a snowy mooncake in a lunch box for him and asked him to take it back and put it in the refrigerator.
Then I took out the pajamas I made for him.
"Brother, I made this for you. Since you haven't had time to come back, I kept it until now to give it to you."
Li Boyan took the pajamas and said, "If you said you made such nice pajamas for 놖, 놖 would definitely take the time to come back and get them."
"My eldest brother called me to show off, saying that you made pajamas for him and my eldest sister-in-law. I thought I had no part in them."
He's so jealous...
It turned out that my younger sister had made it for him as well, but was just waiting for him to come home before giving it to him.
"I called my eldest brother to tell him that I was also involved. I wondered if he could be so proud of himself in front of me."
Now it's his turn to be proud, because he still has the snow skin mooncakes made by his younger sister to eat, but his elder brother doesn't have any.
Li Boyan's words made everyone laugh. Li Zhenzhen then discovered that her father also had such a childish side.
After washing the dishes, Zhang Jiao returned to the living room and looked at Lam Kwok Tung, who was smoking on a deck chair, and asked, "Where did your mother go to celebrate the festival today?"
Since Lin Yongnian was not at home, Zhang Jiao thought about taking Junjun with Lin Guodong to celebrate the festival with her mother-in-law Li Shuping.
She thought that the fifteenth day of the lunar month was a time for families to get together, and it would be lonely and desolate for Li Shuping and Xiao Xiao to celebrate the festival together.
If they had taken Junjun with them, and brought a box of mooncakes and a bag of fruit, Li Shuping might not have chased them away, and she even persuaded Lin Guodong.
But when they bought mooncakes and fruits and took Junjun to the dumpling shop, they saw a sign hanging on the door saying "Closed for Holiday".
No one answered the door, as if no one was home.
They thought that mother-in-law Li Shuping and Xiao Xiao had gone out to buy something, so they waited in the store, but after waiting for an hour, no one came back.
Zhang Jiao thought that since she was already out, and the house hadn't prepared anything for the festival, and she couldn't celebrate the festival with her mother-in-law, she might as well go to her parents' home.
But Lin Guodong refused to go and insisted on staying at home alone.
But at that time, all the meat in the supply and marketing cooperative had been sold out, and the state-owned stores were crowded, so the cooked food was also sold out.
During this Mid-Autumn Festival, the family of three didn’t even have meat or fish to eat. They just steamed an egg custard and fried tofu and vegetables.
Lin Guodong blew out a circle of smoke and said impatiently, "How would I know?"
Zhang Jiao sat beside him and said, "You said our mother is an orphan with no other relatives. During this important festival, where else can she go if not to spend it at home with Xiao?"
Lin Guodong: "I've said it all, but I don't know."
Zhang Jiao patted him and said, "Isn't this just a discussion with you?"
"I think something must have happened to your mother." Zhang Jiao said meaningfully.
Lin Guodong glanced at her and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhang Jiao looked at him and said, "He probably found his partner, so he took your sister to his family's house to celebrate the holidays."
"Impossible." Lin Guodong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.
Zhang Jiao: "Can't you just throw this cigarette butt into the gutter? Why do you have to throw it on the ground?"
He and his father are really the same character. He won't even pick up the fallen oil bottle, and he always likes to throw things around.
Zhang Jiao picked up the cigarette butt, walked out and threw it into the ditch.
When she entered the room, she said, "Don't say it's impossible. Your mother isn't too old. She likes to dress up now. She looks much younger and prettier than her peers. There might even be retired old men pursuing her."
"This woman, no matter what time, still wants a man who understands her and can rely on her."
"They say women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty. Your mother is forty-five. Even if she only lives to seventy, she still has more than twenty years to go. Do you think she can resist looking for someone?"
Lin Guodong frowned and said, "It's impossible anyway. Have you forgotten why she beat your dad? You're still saying this. Aren't you afraid that she'll go to the quilt factory and beat you again?"
Thinking of the beating she received in the quilt factory, Zhang Jiao now feels pain in her face and humiliation.
It's been so long, but those gossipy women in the factory who have become mothers-in-law are still making fun of her about it.
"Let's just analyze this privately. As long as you don't tell anyone, there's no way your mother will know."
Zhang Jiao was still a little afraid of being beaten by her mother-in-law again.
Lin Guodong said: "You are busy all day long, don't analyze it blindly."
After saying that, Lin Guodong got up and went into the house to get clothes, and took Junjun to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Lin Yongnian, his second uncle and his cousin who were in the village finished their drinks and said they wanted to go out to admire the moon.
He walked out of the yard and came to the Du family courtyard.
The gate was still locked. He fiddled with the lock and sighed.
"Taohua, where have you been?"
"Brother, you really miss Sister Taohua."
Lin Yongsheng's joking voice suddenly sounded in the dark night. Lin Yongnian was startled and quickly withdrew his hand. He felt extremely embarrassed.
Lin Yongsheng continued, "I was wondering why you've been so absent-minded since you came back today. It turns out you're thinking about Sister Taohua."
Lin Yongnian denied it, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lin Yongsheng: "You are not talking nonsense, you actually came back for Sister Taohua this time."
He used to come here for two or three years without coming back. It has been less than a month since he last came back to worship his ancestors and met Sister Taohua again.
Lin Yongnian didn't say anything, but he didn't deny it either.
Lin Yongsheng sighed and said, "You said you and Sister Taohua are not meant to be together. You finally came back, but she's not home yet."
"Where did she go?" Lin Yongnian asked.
Lin Yongsheng touched his neck and said, "Her daughter is pregnant, and her mother-in-law broke her leg. She can't take care of her daughter during her confinement, so she went to help her daughter during the confinement period. She won't be back for a while."
This has only been going on for a few days.
Lin Yongnian showed a look of regret. He didn't expect that his return time would be so unfortunate.
He fished out the red silk scarf he had bought for Taohua from his pocket, handed it to Lin Yongsheng, and said, "This is the scarf I bought for Taohua. When Taohua comes back, please give it to her on my behalf."
Lin Yongsheng took the scarf, looked at it, nodded and said, "I'll give it to Sister Taohua when she comes back."
"Brother, the next time you come back, you should marry Sister Taohua, right?"
Lin Yongnian nodded, "It should be about done."
Lin Yongsheng patted his arm and said with a smile: "Then I can look forward to attending your wedding. I hope it will be held in the township. If the villagers knew that you and Sister Taohua were together again, they would definitely be happy for you two."
Lin Yongnian: "Let's talk about it later."
