"Come and Xie Zheng to my house for dinner at noon. There is no one at home, so my relatives will come to my house tomorrow." The Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, and Zhang Meng's grandparents are no longer there. However, because Zhang Meng's family lives the best now and there are two-story buildings built at home, relatives still gather at Zhang Meng's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together every year.

"Okay, I will definitely go if you invite me."

"Yang Bo and Lu Kang are both back. Lu Kang is doing well in your company now and is considered a successful person. Yang Bo is in Haicheng and has developed well. During this holiday, many students have rushed back. Maybe they can hold a junior high school reunion!" Speaking of this, Zhang Meng laughed, "I have attended college reunion almost every year in recent years, but the junior high school reunion should be the first time in my lifetime."

But this is not a look down on me. After all, they were all born on this land, so there are naturally topics to talk about. However, in junior high school, it has been more than 20 years. What we are talking about together is just husbands and children, and various comparisons.

It is still possible to deal with college, but most of the children of their era dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, and the common topics are only these external things. It is not like college gatherings that can also talk about social situations, people's livelihood, economic development, etc.

I seem to have limited chats with these junior high school classmates who have dropped out of school, husbands and children, or the outside world?

"Let's talk about it, we're going back after the Mid-Autumn Festival here, the children are about to start school, and the company is going to work." The most idle person here is probably the only one left.

As he said that, a man in front came towards him, and then he stretched out his fist at Xie Zheng a few steps away. The two of them smiled and fisted opposite each other.

Seeing this, Xu Ning also had a smile on his lips. Isn’t this man just Brother Zheng’s friend and classmate Zhou Tao for many years?

"Hi, Xu Ning, long time no see!" Zhou Tao waved to Xu Ning and said hello, "It's still so beautiful."

"You look at it, so you've experienced a lot. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Zhou Tao is now the director of the Jiangcheng Cultural Relics Administration Bureau and the director of the Jiangcheng Museum. He is also a visiting professor in the Department of Archaeology of Jiangcheng University. He may not be considered rich and noble in life, but he is also a fulfilling life.

Zhou Tao's wife is an associate professor at Jiangcheng University and from the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities. The two have a son and a daughter. The daughter is now in junior high school and her son is less than three years old.

"Thank you." Zhou Tao turned his head and said to Xie Zheng: "When will we leave? Let's go to Jiangcheng to have a meal."

"The day after tomorrow, I will leave on Friday and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhou Tao nodded, "Zhang Meng, you two will go together."

"No problem, is Brother Zhou's home big enough?"

"Enough, do you think the housing prices in Jiangcheng are so high as those in the Imperial City Demon City? And I bought them early. The housing prices were only more than 200 per square meter, and the house was huge." Zhou Tao's temperament was still so generous.

Xu Ning originally had two people, but it turned into three people.

Mrs. Zhou also admired her when she learned that Xu Ning and Zhang Meng were from Emperor Da and Ming Da respectively. The top universities in China are really amazing.

When we arrived at the market, everyone was wandering around. It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and many people who were away from home or settled outside came back. We often saw some familiar faces in the crowd who could no longer name them.

Here we also met Lu Kang and Yang Bo, who went out to visit the market together.

Lu Kang has been working in Diyi for many years and has a good mental outlook. However, Yang Bo, who was popular among the girls in school back then, looked successful in his career, and of course he also came out. Fortunately, the people did not have a baldness, otherwise Xu Ning would really sigh.

"You've gained a lot of weight?" Xu Ning said to Yang Bo with a smile.

Yang Bo laughed, "There is no way, the social engagements every few days, but every meal cannot be separated from wine."

"I often attend drinking parties, but I don't have the big beer belly like you." Lu Kang raised his hand and patted the other party's belly to tease.

"The physique is different."

Everyone wandered around together along the crowd, and then they talked about the class reunion.

"Do you want to participate?" Lu Kang asked, "It's rare to come back. Yang Bo's house has also built a new house. Let's gather at his house for a meal. Don't worry, his house is very big, with six rooms up and down on two floors, and the living room is the most spacious."

"when?"

"It's noon tomorrow, and the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, and I'll leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, Mr. Xu almost never returned to his hometown in the past."

"My grandparents are all in the imperial capital and have no relatives in their hometown. What are they doing when they come back?" Xu Ning said with a smile.

"So..." Yang Bo took out a cigarette and lit it, "This time some of his classmates have come back almost. Let's go to my house to have a gathering tomorrow at noon. I have invited a lot of people, about 40 or 50."

"No problem." Xu Ning nodded. Anyway, tomorrow is fine, and the distance is not far. Everyone said it, so Xu Ning did not refuse.

Yang Bo lives in Yangzhuang, not far from Xiangshan Village, and it takes only seven or eight minutes to drive. After going to the village, you will know it. Of course, you can find it without inquiring. There is only one two-story building in Yangbo’s family in Yangzhuang, which can be seen clearly at the entrance of the village.

Xie Yang led his younger brothers and sisters and some younger brothers from other families to follow his grandmother and father. He was very curious about every stall in the market, especially when he saw places selling kittens, dogs, or chickens and ducks, he stopped.

The chicks and ducks here are hatched at home, not old hens, but artificially hatched, and are also used for multiple inputs at home.

The chicks and ducks are all goose yellow, and the chirping sounds are very good. Children like it when they see it, but they can't buy it.

Xie Zheng was waiting for his mother-in-law to buy vegetables here, and he was helping him carry them. Several children were holding a piece of candy, candied haws and marshmallows, and they were having a lot of fun.

The candy is crispy and sprinkled with sesame seeds on it, with sweet and original flavor, but they are very sticky, but even so children like it, it is fresh and edible.

Qin Xuejuan didn’t buy much. After all, her daughter has all kinds of dishes in her space, but if she doesn’t buy anything, there are several villagers around her, which is unreasonable.

After buying a simple point, they returned to the imperial capital after dealing with the Mid-Autumn Festival. They will not come back in the future for many years. As for the matter of the old lady and Lao Yao Shu a hundred years later, they plan to be buried in the imperial capital, and they do not require a joint burial, as long as they are buried in two adjacent locations.

This is probably what Lao Yao Uncle wanted. After all, Xu Jianjun is not the old uncle's own son. If he was to bury him and the old lady after his death, I am afraid that Xu Jianjun would have any opinions. However, now it is a new society, and whether to bury him or not is not that important.

After death, I don’t know what happened before my life, but there is no so-called reincarnation. When I die, I will lose everything. Who cares about what I do after death. When I am alive, I will live with my heart more important than anything else.

After buying the goods, Zhang Meng and Xue Jialun went back first, and asked Xu Ning to clean up and go to their house for dinner.

Helping his mother take the things she bought home, Xu Ning cleaned up and took her three children away with Xie Zheng.

Zhang's mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen after they returned home.

"Ning Ning is as old as you? She is almost forty, and she doesn't look old at all." Zhang's mother is in her early sixties now, but she is very good at doing housework. She is so natural to clean up the carp she just bought at noon.

Zhang Meng nodded, "What she does is make cosmetics, but it is still the world's number one brand. She naturally looks young by using it all year round. Am I old?"

Zhang Meng thought it was impossible. She has been using Sumei skin care products all the time. Although she is almost forty now, her skin is still so white, tender and smooth. Otherwise, how could her dear husband ask for love every few days?

Mama Zhang laughed and said, "Okay, you are the youngest."

Xue Jialun also pursed his lips and held back his smile. His wife was naturally very young. If she was in her thirties, she would still look like a college student. Xue Jialun was willing to spend money on her wife. After all, her young and beautiful wife is also the achievement of a man. Every time she took her wife to attend various business, she would look at other wives and then look at her young and beautiful wife, and the feeling made him feel very proud.

Although it is implicit in its heart, it is still accustomed to competing with its son in private, so the relationship between husband and wife has been particularly harmonious over the years.

Moreover, although his father-in-law and mother-in-law are from rural areas, Xue Jialun likes this honest and honest old couple very much. He doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. After years of marriage with his wife, his father-in-law and mother-in-law have never done anything indecent behind their backs, and they will not bother them. As for consumption, they will give them a sum of money every month. The two elderly people can't spend it all, and they will give their son a red envelope during the Chinese New Year. They don't drag their backs or cause any unhappiness due to money. Therefore, Xue Jialun also respects these two very much.

This two-story building was designed by Zhang Meng himself. Compared with the second floor built by other houses in the village, the Zhang family's building looks particularly elegant and fashionable.

Outside is a one-meter-high wall and two-meter-high iron fence, and there are ivy and some flowers and plants planted on the edge of the fence. Now this season, the three walls are still green and very eye-catching.

The living room also has a strong sense of fashion, and the layout and decoration are very soft, which will not give people a strong sense of sharpness at the edges and corners.

Other small buildings say they are two floors, but in fact they give people the feeling that they are not much different from the bungalows. The decoration inside is still so old-fashioned, and young people who have a bit of fashion look down on them.

Because of this, the old couple of Zhang family were unwilling to move to the Demon City to live with their children. They are not old enough to move now, so they should go to the ground without any delay. Although they cannot see their children often, when the children grow up, they must live independently. When they come back to see them during the holidays, the old couple is also happy.

Besides, I have been busy for my children for most of my life. Now that I am old, I naturally want to hide my leisure time. After that, my son gets married. If I have a grandson, they can go over and help take care of them. Of course, I am willing to take care of my grandson, but I don’t plan to live in the Magic City all the time. Where did I get the habit of living in the village?

Of course, if they go to the Demon City in the future, they will not be afraid that their daughter-in-law will not like it. After all, their daughter still has a house for them to live in in the Demon City. The old couple will not crowd with their son every day, so they are afraid of being disliked.

When Xie Zheng and his family came over, they could already smell the smell of the food while standing in the yard.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Meng warmly welcomed him in.

"Your house is very well cleaned up." Xu Ning praised as he looked at the living room.

"I'm also an interior designer, which means I'm not my face. Don't underestimate me." Zhang Meng brought out fresh fruit from the kitchen and asked Xue Jialun to pick them up. He ran to the kitchen to help Zhang's mother continue to cook lunch.

Xu Ning didn't watch here either, and got up and went to the kitchen to help.

She and Zhang Meng have such a good relationship. Although she is a guest, she doesn’t have to stick to this.

Although Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng are not in the same field, the chat is still very topical, so don’t worry about the unhappiness.

"Do you come back every Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"After a year, I will come back this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and I won't go back for the New Year. I will come here again for the New Year next year." The two elders of the Xue family are also reasonable. The daughter-in-law is not a housewife, and they also have a prosperous career. Naturally, they also look up to them. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good, so even the couple took their children to their parents' home for the New Year the next year, and the two elders of the Xue family have no objection. They only have a week to spend, so they can relax at home during the New Year.

Therefore, only when women are independent can they have the right to speak and make decisions at home.

"I saw Lu Kang's wife before. They come back every year, but their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have little relationship. The elderly in the countryside may have some habits that the city people cannot accept. One year during the Chinese New Year, the couple came back with their children, and Lu Kang's wife almost started to have a fight with her mother-in-law."

"Why?" Xu Ning asked.

"It's not a problem for children. The elderly like to chew the food and taste it in the child's mouth. Lu Kang's wife couldn't accept this. She felt it was very dirty, so she mentioned a few words to her mother-in-law. Lu Kang's mother was so angry that she muttered a few words to her son, and she was also very quarreling." Zhang Meng sighed, "But I think Lu Kang's wife is right in this regard. I don't agree with my mother chewing the food and stuffing it into my son's mouth."

Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother glared at her daughter with a angrily look, "I'm not happy yet."

In response to this point, Xu Ning also agreed with Lu Kang's wife's approach. The elderly have many bad habits. Since they see it, they will naturally mention it. She has seen Lu Kang's wife many times and may be a little spoiled in private. But on the surface, she is a very good at rules and knows how to look at the occasion. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was at the time, she had to look at Lu Kang's face, so that she would not speak too irritated.

But such things are so common in rural areas here. The elderly think that this is not a big deal at all. It is naturally unhappy to be so disliked by their daughter-in-law. They just tell their son that their daughter-in-law is not, which is a bit unpleasant.

Xu Ning was never fed by anyone when he was a child. When he was a child, his grandmother was arrogant and would not do such things to Xu Ning. Her mother also had an excellent background. Not to mention doing it, I guess she never even thought about it. Is this a lucky thing?

At that time, children rarely drank milk powder. They were all fed breast milk, and they drank mud without breast milk.

As for the elderly who like to chew the food and feed it to their grandchildren's mouths, this method is really unhygienic. Lu Kang's wife's method is not wrong.
