The unique smell of disinfectant from the hospital still lingered on Zheng Yuheng's suit. When he poured wine for Xie Yun, his wristwatch accidentally appeared on his sleeve. He said in a deep voice, "The batch of penicillin from the hospital has recently..."
"Brother." Zheng Wanqing suddenly spoke up, interrupting him at the right time. She stretched out her slender jade fingers and tapped the table lightly, her eyes full of reproach, "No matter how much I eat, I can't stop you from talking. Who would talk about it at a reunion dinner?"
Zheng Yuheng smiled when he heard this. He raised his glass and looked at Xie Yun: "Young Marshal, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. We have to have a few drinks."
Xie Yun also raised his glass, his eyes bright and cheerful: "Brother, I toast to you."
After that, the two of them raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses. After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Yuheng's face gradually turned red, and his eyes gradually became serious when he looked at Xie Yun. He slowly put down the wine glass and said in a low and solemn voice: "Brother-in-law, Wanqing has been raised in my hands since she was a child. She has a simple and kind personality. Now, I hand her over to you. I hope you can take good care of her and never let her suffer any grievances."
Xie Yun stared at Zheng Yuheng with a firm and sincere gaze, and said in a resolute and responsible tone: "Please rest assured, brother, I will definitely protect Wanqing."
Zheng Yuheng smiled and raised his glass, looking at Xie Yun: "Young Marshal, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's have a few drinks."
Zheng Wanqing's cheeks were slightly hot from the two people's conversation. She smiled and stopped the two people who were about to drink: "You two, don't just drink, take it easy, be careful not to get drunk." Her eyes moved, and suddenly she blinked mischievously, "Brother, I heard that you made an appointment with Sister Bai Xiao to watch the moon together. If you show up in front of her drunk, it will be too embarrassing."
When Zheng Yuheng heard this, his face instantly turned red, like a cooked shrimp. He shook his head in a helpless manner, smiled bitterly and said, "You clever little girl, you always tease your brother." As he said this, he pretended to reach out and tap his sister's forehead, but after catching a glimpse of Xie Yun's slightly protective look, he quickly withdrew his hand and joked, "I see, you clearly don't want the young commander to get drunk, right?"
After the dinner, Xie Yun stood up calmly, bowed respectfully to Zheng Shaoqi who was sitting in the main seat, and said earnestly: "Father-in-law, it's getting late. I plan to take Wanqing out for a night stroll to feel the lively atmosphere of this festival."
Zheng Shaoqi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead, young people should have more fun."
At night in Tianjin, it is like a colorful folk painting slowly unfolding. The streets are full of colorful lanterns swaying gently in the autumn wind, illuminating the entire street like daylight. The hawkers' shouts, the innocent laughter of children, and the sound of stringed instruments coming from afar, interweave together to compose a lively and lively music movement.
Walking along the bluestone-paved streets, you will see a variety of food stalls and exciting juggling performances on both sides. The candy seller is skilled. He skillfully waves the copper cane in his hand, and the golden sugar liquid flows out of the cane like silk threads and solidifies instantly on the smooth marble slab. In a blink of an eye, lifelike candy figures are born. There are phoenixes spreading their wings, cute piglets, and the majestic Guan Gong, which attract children to gather in front of the stalls, their eyes full of desire and curiosity.
"I want the butterfly." Zheng Wanqing pointed at one of the sugar figures and turned to Xie Yun and smiled, "My brother often bought it for me when I was a child."
Xie Yun paid the money, took the candy and handed it to her: "Now it's my turn to buy it." He looked at her carefully licking the candy and couldn't help but smile, "Is it sweet?"
Zheng Wanqing's eyes curved and she said, "It's very sweet." She raised the candy man to his lips and said, "Would you like to try it?"
Xie Yun took a small bite from her hand, the sweet aroma of candy wafting in his mouth: "It's really sweet." But his eyes stayed on her face, and there was something else in his words.
The dough figurine booth was also crowded with people. The old master's wrinkled hands flexibly rubbed, kneaded, kneaded and molded the colorful dough in his palms. After a while, a vivid Monkey King appeared in front of us. His fiery eyes were piercing, the texture of his tiger skin skirt was clear, and the golden hoop was wrapped with auspicious cloud patterns. It was so exquisite that it was amazing.
"Sir, would you mind making a statue of your wife?" the old master asked with a smile.
Xie Yun looked at Zheng Wanqing, and when she nodded, he said softly, "Then I'll trouble you, Master."
While waiting, deafening gongs and drums sounded not far away. It turned out that the dragon and lion dance team was coming this way. The dragon was more than ten feet long, and its golden scales shone under the light of lanterns. Under the dancers' vigorous dancing, it rolled up and down, circling in a winding way, sometimes looking up to the sky, and sometimes leaning over to explore the sea, vividly. The lions sometimes jumped happily, and sometimes rolled naively. The smart expressions and funny movements attracted cheers from passers-by. The lion dancers made a beautiful leap, and the lion's head suddenly opened, and a red silk couplet spit out from their mouths: "A good full moon brings longevity to people, and a harmonious year brings joy and prosperity", pushing the festive atmosphere to a climax.
"Tariff officer, thank you." Taking advantage of the break in the noise, Zheng Wanqing leaned close to Xie Yun's ear and said. The faint jasmine scent on her body mixed with the sweet scent of sugar man lingered on Xie Yun's nose.
Xie Yun wanted to tease her on purpose and pretended not to hear clearly: "What did you say? I didn't hear it." He deliberately put his ear closer, with a sly light in his eyes.
