The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, a time for visiting relatives and friends, and for giving and receiving gifts.
Jiang Yue never left her village, yet she was surrounded by local gentry, landlords, the Ye sisters, the newly appointed county magistrate, Prefect Zhao, Prefect Liu, and even her in-laws from Nanjing, her sons and daughters-in-law...
Mid-Autumn Festival gifts kept pouring into Wujia Village and were delivered to her home.
Of course, she accepted it all, along with the gifts she had prepared for the holidays—
Soap gift set.
Packaged in a gift box, depicting Chang'e flying to the moon, the box contains eight different colored soaps shaped like jade rabbits.
It looks expensive, but in reality, it's inexpensive.
On the one hand, it's a prestigious gift; on the other hand, it's naturally advertising for the soap factory.
For gifts to relatives, it's not just this big gift package; there are also practical items such as osmanthus cake, rose-filled mooncakes, and pork.
As the eldest son, Qingshan naturally represented her, going around giving gifts. After a few days, the light in his eyes was almost gone.
Haha~
Is it easy to become an adult?
It wasn't easy.
Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea; clothes for all seasons; interpersonal relationships, and so on.
Life won't be any kinder to you, whether you're poor or rich; what you have to do yourself, you still have to do yourself.
However, it cannot be denied that being wealthy brings praise and goodwill everywhere.
Jiang Yue watched her son go from being completely helpless and clueless to being as adept as he is now. Wan'er, the old fox.
It would be a lie to say I'm not proud; I'm very proud of my son's growth.
Schools are closed today, and each student received a mooncake the size of an adult's face.
The students who received the gifts were very excited and carefully put the mooncakes home.
The teacher said that this was specially ordered by the principal, hoping that students and their parents could be together as a family, enjoying the moon and eating mooncakes, a truly joyous reunion.
As for the pharmaceutical factory, without Jiang Yue needing to give any instructions, Da Niu had already made all the arrangements in advance.
Not only were mooncakes distributed, but pork, pastries, and bonuses were also given to the workers according to their positions, ensuring they had a good holiday.
Putting aside the workers' sense of belonging, just considering the factory manager's sincerity, they are willing to work there until they die!
At the soap factory, my nephew is still a bit too young; he's not as mature as my older sister.
The soap factory workers didn't receive their holiday gifts and bonuses until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The result is good, but the process still needs improvement.
After reviewing the ledgers, Jiang Yue rubbed her temples, stretched, and then heard Tang Xin cheer with delight.
"Ahhh, the big crab has crawled to my little brother's feet!"
"Eeya eeya~"
"Miss Sun, don't be afraid, your servant is here~"
"Ouch, you pinched my hand! It hurts!"
"Giggle~"
"Wan'er, come here, don't block the way~"
"Oh no, crabs are fun, I want to catch some too!"
"Hey, no—"
"Woof woof woof~"
"Aww~"
"Waaaaah, it hurts, it hurts~"
Serves you right!
"Mom, Dad's yelling at me!"
"Oh, you've tattled on me again!"
"Help!"
......
As night falls, among the myriad lights of Tianyao, there will always be one left on for you.
Old house —
This Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yue brought her family to the old house to spend the holiday with her parents-in-law and their extended family.
The moon in the sky was round and big, and its bright moonlight shone on everyone, as if draping them in a veil.
The children chased fireflies, running freely around the yard.
"Sister, come and chase me!"
"Hmph, wait till I catch up with you, then I'll bite your arm!"
"Help! My sister is so fierce!"
"Big brother, look, candied hawthorns!"
"What?"
"Awoo~"
"Where are the candied hawthorns, you little traitor!"
"My sister said if I help her hold onto you, she'll give me candied hawthorns when it snows~"
Haha~
"Woof woof woof~"
"Woof woof woof~"
When the children are playing around, the adults don't get involved, don't interfere, and certainly don't feel sorry for them.
Brothers and sisters, who grow up together and bicker, share a deep bond.
"Come on, come on, the food's ready, come and eat!"
Thanks to the dozen or so lanterns hanging in the courtyard, it was almost as bright as daytime.
"Wow, there's a crab! It's huge!"
"Make your own dipping sauce. Maximum of two servings per person, don't eat too many!"
"Okay, Grandma~"
"I haven't eaten crab in a long time, I've even forgotten how to eat it."
"Ask your third aunt, she knows how!"
"Since my second sister-in-law has said so, then I'll make a fool of myself."
"First, use scissors to open the shell so that the crab roe inside can remain intact. Then remove this triangle; that's the crab's stomach, don't eat it. Also, this white part is the crab's heart, don't eat it. And this white part is the gills, don't eat them either!"
"It has to be the third son's wife; she knows everything and can do everything. You should all learn from her!"
"Yes, Dad. We will definitely learn a lot from our third sister-in-law!"
"You're such a chatterbox! Help yourself to whatever you want to eat, but eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold~"
"Oh, Mom, you've been busy all afternoon. Sit down, what would you like to eat? Your daughter-in-law will get it for you~"
"Grandpa, what are you drinking?"
"Shh, this is osmanthus wine, it's delicious—"
"You old geezer, you've been drinking again!"
"Old woman, it's Mid-Autumn Festival today, I'll just have a sip, just one sip~"
"Grandma, Grandpa is lying! Hao'er saw it! Grandpa has drunk three cups!"
"You brat—"
"Da Shi, you can't hit children!"
"Awooooo~"
......
The scene became increasingly lively, showcasing all aspects of human life and the continuation of the family tradition.
Tonight the moon is full; green pines and blue clouds, are you all well?
A thousand miles away—
Nanjing.
The bustling streets were brightly lit with lanterns and decorations, with lanterns hanging in every corner.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunions and romantic getaways.
Sure enough, the Xu family's carriage stopped in front of the Zhu Rong Hot Pot restaurant, and a handsome young man stepped out first.
A fleeting glimpse sent shivers down the spines of countless young women.
But before they could do anything, another beautiful young woman stepped out of the carriage, her features exquisite and captivating.
Watching the young man skillfully catch the woman's delicate hand and protect her as she descended from the carriage, countless young ladies felt their hearts break.
"You idiot, it's a holiday, aren't you going to take me to guess lantern riddles and win lanterns? Instead, take me out for hot pot!"
Xu Miaoyun's beautiful eyes darted around as she glared at the malicious gazes around her.
What are you looking at? She's her person, and only she can see her!
"I can't do those pretentious things. Second brother and sister-in-law are waiting for us to have dinner on the third floor."
Qingyun looked up and glanced at the third floor; his second brother was waving.
"Your brother and sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun immediately covered her cheeks, moved a few fingers away, and through the gaps between her fingers, she saw that the other person's lips were slightly curved, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Okay, keep up, it's Second Brother's treat, eat more."
"Oh~"
