part604: Mid-autumn night(1/2)

One of the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival is worshiping and appreciating the moon.

Although many young people nowadays just go out with friends for the holidays, some customs are still better passed down by certain people in certain places.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a bright full moon hung in the sky. Xiao Ningchan was busy with her family, moving things to the bottom of the building, and then worshiped and admired the moon with them.

Xiao Ningchan: [Picture]

Xiao Ningchan: [Picture]

Xiao Ningchan: [Picture]

Ye Yanxia: My family is also worshiping the moon.

Ye Yanxia: [Picture]

Xiao Ningchan pursed her lips and smiled after reading the news.

Bai Jingshu shouted in disgust: "Stop chatting and eat quickly. Is this snail tasty enough? Is it spicy?"

Xiao Ningchan looked at the beige sour bamboo shoots that stood out in the dark pot, and a faint spicy and sour smell flowed through her nose. She put down the phone quickly, took her gloves and put them on, and then picked out the snail meat one by one with a toothpick.

.

"So hot."

"It has just been fried. Can you please not scald it? Slow down."

Xiao Ningchan asked Su Jinfan, "Sister-in-law, will your family celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival like ours?"

Bai Jingshu looked at her displeased and corrected: "What about your family? She belongs to our family. You should ask her if she was like this at home before."

Xiao Ningchan realized she had said something wrong, "Yes, did you worship the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival in City B before?"

Su Jinfan nodded, "Bye, we were with my uncle and the others, and the whole family was eating and chatting on the top floor. It was very lively."

The Xiao family remembered that they were three brothers who lived side by side in their houses and had good feelings for each other. In this way, they usually ate together during holidays.

Xiao Ningchan said softly and crisply: "It's the same when we go to my grandpa's house for the holidays. My second uncle and aunt rarely come back. When my second brother gets married and has children, it will be lively when my second uncle and the others come back to take care of their children."

Bai Jingshu said casually: "Yes, when you have children too, it will be even more lively."

Su Jinfan was a little embarrassed when he heard this and lowered his eyes, but Xiao Anting said naturally: "We are not in a hurry, let nature take its course."

Bai Jingshu said silently in her heart: "If you don't take any measures, then let nature take its course." But she said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, you just got married, you can ask for it when you want it."

Xiao Ningchan looked at her brother and sister-in-law and said seriously: "It's just the right age for you to have a child. My brother is twenty-seven this year."

"Twenty-six, it's not my birthday yet."

"Pfft~" Xiao Ningchan pursed her lips to hold back a laugh, "Brother, you are finished. You have started to care about your age. Don't worry, you are still very young now. You are just over 20 and not yet 30. People say that a man is thirty-one.

You haven’t opened it yet.”

Others laughed when they heard what she said, and Xiao Anting was also a little bit dumbfounded. "You don't need to remind me like this, Ye Yanxia is only two years younger than me."

Xiao Ningchan suddenly frowned, "He's just one year older than me, and he graduated two years earlier than me, huh."

Bai Jingshu was amused but speechless, "Isn't this very good? Do you want to go out to work early?"

Xiao Ningchan shook her head.

Bai Jingshu looked at her, "What kind of job will you find in the future? I heard from Awan that you want to take the civil service exam?"

Xiao Ningchan muttered: "I just think about it, I don't know whether I will pass the exam or not. Let's talk about it then."

Xiao Junhui agreed: "The public institution is relatively good, stable, and the working hours are not long. It is very suitable for you girls."

Xiao Ningchan smiled and nodded, "Well, I just like that it has two days off from nine to five."

"Do you want to be a teacher?"

"No," Xiao Ningchan refused her mother without thinking. "But Yu just wants to be a teacher. She gets up at six o'clock every day and goes to bed after eleven o'clock at night. It's even scarier than when she was a student. I don't want it."

"There are winter and summer vacations here."

Xiao Ningchan sneered, "It's just winter and summer vacation. What else is attractive besides this? I'd better work hard to get what I want."

Xiao Junhui supported his daughter as always, "Well, you can do whatever you like. You don't have to think too much."

Xiao Ningchan smiled sweetly at her father.

Su Jinfan agreed: "The career department is very good. Everyone is trying to get in. Come on."

Xiao Ningchan nodded, "Well, I'm already reading and getting ready."

After hearing this, everyone told her to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Don't do anything but study at school, as her body would not be able to bear it.

Xiao Ningchan waved her hand: "Don't worry, I'm not a nerd, I will take care of myself."

Bai Jingshu shook her head and said seriously: "Are you a nerd? You forget to eat when you get busy. Look how thin you are now."

Xiao Ningchan looked down at herself and said seriously: "Actually, I'm not thin anymore. You see, I've been eating all day today, and I haven't stopped eating. It won't take long for me to gain weight again."

All four of them looked at her, it was best this way.

There are three young people in the Xiao family, Xiao Ningchan, Xiao Anting, and Su Jinfan. Compared with the only young man Ye Yanxia, ​​the Ye family's grassland is a little deserted.

Grandpa Ye and Ye Dabo were chatting about recent business matters, Grandma Ye and Zhou Qingwan were talking about going to Xiao's house tomorrow, and Ye Yanxia was sitting on the carpet playing with Xiaobai and Yuanxiao.

"I asked Abin and the others to come over at eight o'clock. We set off from home at nine o'clock and arrived at my little sister's house around nine-thirty. It was just right."

Grandma Ye nodded and said happily: "Well, it's better to go out earlier. When you get there, be careful about your words and movements." Grandma Ye looked at her grandson and asked, "Don't just look at my little sister as soon as you get there.

, her parents will be unhappy if this happens, her grandparents are all here, right?"

Ye Yanxia nodded and said obediently: "Well, her family members are here. Don't worry, I know what to do."

"It's good to know. You were not at home when they got engaged. For this marriage, you need to get the consent of her family."

"I know."

"Well, she has a lot of relatives, do you remember? I won't know anyone else if I go there tomorrow."

"Except for her second uncle and second aunt, who I don't know well, I recognize everyone else. There's nothing wrong with her."

The elders nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and Bai Jingshu asked again: "You have to go there early tomorrow. Before you prepare to go to bed, you can remind Abin and the others to go to bed as early as possible and not play too late. Come here early tomorrow."

"Well, I'll send them a message now and ask them to go back to bed early."

Zhou Qingwan glanced at the time on her phone and said, "It's not ten o'clock yet, so there's no need to be in such a hurry. I'll send it to them at eleven o'clock."

While sending the message, Ye Yanxia thought to herself: "It will be late at night until they go home to wash up and go to bed at 11 o'clock. I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Cheng Yunmo and Ren Zhuangbin, who were playing outside with their girlfriends, were speechless when they received the news. Is it too early to tell them to go to bed early?

Cheng Yunmo: I understand, don’t worry.

Ren Zhuangbin: Got it.

After receiving the reply, Ye Yanxia turned off her phone, stood up and went to the table to eat snails, and asked by the way: "Do you want to tell Grandpa and the others about this?"

The four elders had different expressions when they heard the question. After a moment, Grandpa Ye said: "I want to say it. I will decide when to say it. You don't have to worry about this. Just do the Xiao family's business well."

Ye Yanxia nodded when he heard this, "Okay, thank you, grandpa."

"What are you talking about? I really want to thank you for coming back and playing chess with me in the future. Don't always stay away from home for ten days and a half."

Ye Yanxia couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable after hearing this, and responded: "Well, I will definitely come back often in the future."

"That's good."

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye went to bed early and went to the Xiao family to discuss the wedding the next day. At about ten o'clock, everyone in the Ye family dispersed and returned to the main house. After Ye Yanxia washed up, she sent a message to Xiao Ningchan.

At this time, the Xiao family had just left. While helping her mother clear the dining table, Xiao Ningchan took the time to send a message to Ye Yanxia, ​​saying that she was busy and had to take a shower later and would message him later.

Ye Yanxia is also considerate and replies: OK.

So we waited until eleven o'clock.

Xiao Ningchan looked at the person opposite and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my sister, sister-in-law, and second brother were all looking for me just now, so now, you are leaving at ten o'clock?"

"Well, grandparents usually go to bed after ten o'clock. Tomorrow we will leave home at nine o'clock and arrive at your place around nine-thirty."

Xiao Ningchan opened her eyes wide: "So early! My uncle and the others probably haven't come yet."

Ye Yanxia didn't expect this, "What should we do? Let's postpone it a little longer?"

Xiao Ningchan waved her hand: "No need, I'll ask my elder brother when they will arrive."

Xiao Ningchan said and sent a message to the family group, asking when Xiao Anchen would arrive tomorrow. Yan Xia said he would arrive at our place around ten o'clock tomorrow.

Big Brother: We are about the same time.

Third Sister: Okay.

Xiao Ningchan said to Ye Yanxia: "You can go out at half past nine tomorrow. My brother and the others will arrive at about ten, so you can be a little later."

Ye Yanxia nodded when he heard this, "Okay, then I'll tell my mother and let A Bin and the others come over half an hour later tomorrow, so as not to say I'm squeezing their time."

Xiao Ningchan smiled when he heard this, "You also know that you are exploiting them?"

"It's like I didn't help them when they proposed marriage."

Xiao Ningchan nodded, "That's right. When Ren Zhuangbin goes to propose marriage, you will definitely go to help."
