Although the Mid-Autumn Festival was not listed as a legal holiday at that time, Shen Mingzhu still gave the food factory employees a day off.

Those who want to go home and reunite with their families can go home, and those who don’t want to go home can celebrate the festival together at the food factory.

All five female workers went back.

Shen Chaobei originally wanted to go back to the countryside to see Qin Jinlian, but Du Juan didn't want to make trouble. The main reason was that Daya was very carsick, so she wanted to stay in the city to celebrate the festival with Shen Mingzhu and her son.

Shen Chaobei felt that there was no point in going back alone, so he simply decided not to go back.

Shen Hongmei didn't go home either.

Six people, four adults and two children, decided to have a lively Mid-Autumn Festival at the factory.

During the day, Shen Mingzhu invited a few people to watch a movie. In fact, the movie tickets were given by Chen Yi, and she was just borrowing flowers to offer gifts to Buddha.

After watching the movie, Shen Mingzhu and Du Juan went to the market to buy a lot of delicious food, preparing to have a good dinner in the evening.

In the evening, Shen Mingzhu was frying eggs when someone walked in behind her.

She didn't look back, but from the heavy footsteps and the tall shadows cast by the setting sun, she could think of no one else but Shen Chaobei.

"Brother, please take the dishes out and put away the bowls and chopsticks..."

Before she could finish her words, someone hugged her waist from behind.

Shen Mingzhu's first reaction was shock: Shen Chaobei is so bold, is he tired of living? However, the next second, she heard a familiar, deep voice with a smile: "When did I become your big brother?"

Shen Mingzhu turned her head in astonishment, looking at her man who seemed to have fallen from the sky. She was so surprised that the spatula in her hand fell.

Pei Yang quickly caught the spatula that fell in the air and put it back into her hand.

Following his movements, Shen Mingzhu turned her head to look at the spatula in his hand, but the next second, the man turned her face back and kissed her with a strong and domineering kiss full of love, blocking her breath.

“Bang.”

The spatula in Shen Mingzhu's hand still fell to the ground.

Spatula: ...What's the point of this? Can't you just let me fall to the ground quietly?

…

Under the night sky, a bright full moon rises into the sky like a jade plate, emitting charming and bright white light.

In the center of the food factory's yard, Shen Mingzhu, Pei Yang, Pei Ziheng, Shen Chaobei, Du Juan, Daya, and Shen Hongmei, seven people sat around the table, having a great time.

All the dishes on the table were prepared by Shen Mingzhu. They were delicious and tasty, except for the fried eggs with leeks which ruined the atmosphere.

The fried eggs are bright yellow, and paired with green leeks. The yellow and green combination is extremely pleasing to the eye, but the plate of fried eggs with leeks on the table is dark black.

"Mingzhu, why are your eggs burnt?"

Shen Chaobei didn't mean to dislike it, he was just curious. However, as soon as he asked, Du Juan kicked him under the table.

Shen Mingzhu glared at the bastard beside her with a hot face.

The latter brought the fried eggs with leeks to him and ate them while saying to Shen Chaobei, "Brother, I like to eat scrambled eggs. Mingzhu loves me and fried them especially for me."

Shen Chaobei was very surprised, "Why do some people like to eat scrambled eggs? Isn't it bitter?"

"Not bitter, very fragrant."

Shen Mingzhu: “…”

Originally thinking that it was a family dinner and a simple meal would be fine, Shen Mingzhu did not prepare any wine. But when Shen Chaobei saw Pei Yang coming back, he was in a good mood and insisted on dragging Pei Yang to drink to liven things up.

It just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival gift that Zhong Qing sent her two days ago contained two small jars of osmanthus wine, so Shen Mingzhu took out one.

The pottery jar is the size of an adult's fist, and a handwritten red note with the name of Osmanthus wine is stuck on the belly of the jar.

As soon as the seal of the jar is opened, the air is immediately filled with a rich and intoxicating sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

Since there were no wine glasses, we used rice bowls and poured a small bowl for each person.

The light yellow wine is mellow and slightly sweet at first, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of osmanthus.

Shen Mingzhu happily finished the osmanthus wine in her bowl, then looked down and found there was another bowl in front of her.

She turned and glared at the dog man, "What are you doing?"

"Help me drink it."

Just as Shen Mingzhu was about to refuse, she heard the dog man say innocently, "The doctor said I can't drink."

She was stunned for a moment and swallowed the words back into her throat.

In fact, when I saw the man for the first time in the evening, I found that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his face was a little pale, unlike his previous healthy wheat-colored skin.

When I held him in my arms, his body wasn't as broad and strong as before, it was just bones.

At that time, she was so confused by his sudden attack that she didn't have time to ask.

It was even more inconvenient to ask while eating, so I could only put my doubts in my heart for the time being and pick up the wine bowl to drink.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was right, or perhaps it was because the osmanthus wine tasted good, Shen Chaobei and Shen Hongmei both seemed unsatisfied and clamored for more, so Shen Mingzhu opened the remaining jar.

The jar of osmanthus wine at the back was almost divided between Shen Chaobei and Shen Hongmei.

After drinking, both of them were drunk as expected.

Shen Mingzhu and Du Juan helped Shen Hongmei back to the dormitory, while Pei Yang settled Shen Chaobei on the sofa in the office to sober up.

After settling the two drunkards, Shen Mingzhu planned to clean up the table with Du Juan, but was stopped by Du Juan.

"Mingzhu, you should take a rest. You cooked dinner, so it would be unreasonable to ask you to clean up. It's rare for Pei Yang to come back, so you should spend some time with him."

Shen Mingzhu accepted Du Juan's kindness, but still helped to clean the table, put moon cakes, snacks and fruits on the table, and finally boiled water to make a pot of chrysanthemum tea.

The moon had risen directly overhead, a full, white circle with gauze-like clouds lingering around it, as beautiful as a painting.

And the man sitting under the moon made Shen Mingzhu feel that he was the best Mid-Autumn Festival gift she had received this year.

"Stupid, that's not how you fold an airplane. Let me teach you."

Against the wall of the yard, Pei Ziheng and Daya were squatting on a brick ping-pong table playing with paper airplanes.

Looking at the bright smile on her son's pretty face, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but smile.

For a moment, she felt that her life was as perfect as the full moon above her head.

Pei Yang sat beside her, looking at his son playing, "Has Ziheng grown taller?"

"Well, I was 115cm taller before school started, which means I'm 12cm taller than this time last year."

Pei Yang took her hand and held it on his leg, looking at her with eyes full of strong affection, "It's all thanks to you."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "Since you came back, Ziheng has become much happier."

Her original intention was to express that a child's growth also depends on the company of his father, but Pei Yang unexpectedly turned the tables on her, "What about you? Are you happy to see me back?"

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him and said nothing.

After a while, just when Pei Yang thought he couldn't hear her answer and was about to compromise and give up, he heard Shen Mingzhu say "hmm" softly.

It is very light, just like the evening breeze carrying the fragrance of osmanthus, blowing past your face, with an intoxicating aroma.

"Me too."

Pei Yang lifted her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it. Although he hadn't drunk any alcohol, his voice was intoxicatingly hoarse, "I miss you every day after you left. I wonder what you are doing, whether you have been bullied by Shen Baolan again, I miss you..."

"Wait." Shen Mingzhu glared at him, "You're offering a buy one get one free deal here. You want me and Baolan too?"

Pei Yang: “…”
