Chapter 397: Appreciating the Moon and Talking About the Ancients

Lian Shouxin, Lian Shouli, Zhang and Zhao were in front of the four adults, and Lian Man'er, Lian Zhier, Wulang, Xiaoqi and Lian Yeer, wine was in front of the children.

Lian Man'er suggested that everyone have a drink together first.

"...This is the first time we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival like this. Dad, what do you say?" Lian Man'er said with a smile.

Even Shouxin looked around and saw that everyone was in high spirits, so he smiled and picked up the wine cup.

"If you have a lot of money, I won't say it, just tell the truth. We have done this cup of wine. I wish our families a happy life and a better future!"

"Good latest chapter!" Lian Man'er applauded.

"My father said it well." Xiaoqi also smiled.

The little son and the little daughter were so supportive that even Shouxin felt soft and almost a flower appeared on her face.

Everyone raised their wine glasses, and even Shouxin and Lian Shouli drank them in one go. Zhang's movements were a little slow and hesitated as he drank a cup of wine. Only Zhao held the wine glass and was hesitant.

Zhao did not know how to drink. She never had the chance to drink, whether in her parents' home or after she got married.

"I really can't drink." Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhao said a little shy and embarrassed.

"Who is born to drink this thing? There is not much wine, just sip it. His third uncle, don't stand there, just drink it. It's just a hot voice." Zhang said to Zhao with a smile.

"Yes, Third Uncle, you have to drink this glass of wine no matter what you say. This is a good omen." Lian Man'er also advised.

"Mom, just drink it." Even Ye'er sat beside Zhao and said with a smile.

"Yes. Just this cup. Go down, everyone will do whatever they want." Lian Shouxin said.

Seeing everyone saying this, Zhao gritted her teeth and brought the wine cup to her lips. If she could not drink, she would swallow the wine cup at once, there would be nothing. She hesitated and sucked the taste after the wine was in her mouth, but she was so spicy that she was so spicy that her eyelids turned red.

"Okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Zhang said with a hurried smile.

Everyone then moved their chopsticks.

Everyone was talking and laughing, Lian Shouxin and Lian Shouli were eating and drinking white wine. After Zhang drank a cup of white wine, he changed to red wine. However, Zhao refused to even dip the red wine. Lian Man'er and his children drank a cup of red wine with a cup of red wine.

This red wine is slightly different from the red wine sold, and the alcohol content is not that high. The one sold is dry red wine, but now the children drink wine. The taste is softer and sweeter. If you don’t drink it, it’s similar to a drink. Moreover, they use a small wine cup for drinking white wine. A cup of wine is a small sip, and the children are having fun drinking it.

The sweet potato pieces were fried to brown and covered with sugar. When they were pinched, they brought out strands of silk. They had to dip them in the water bowl next to them, and the silk could be broken. They would be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and sweet. Not only did the man'er, but other children also liked it.

Zhang picked up a piece of carp and put it into Xiaoqi's bowl. He turned his head and saw that Zhao looked a little restrained. He hurriedly picked a piece of lean meat from the big bowl of braised pork, dipped it in braised sauce, and put it into Zhao's bowl.

Zhao's biological mother died early. Before she got married, she made a living at her stepmother. After getting married, she met a mother-in-law like Zhou again. She never gave birth to a boy. Therefore, she developed the habit of not daring to stretch out chopsticks at the dining table. Even after eating with Lian Mi'er and others in the Lian Ji shop, this deep-rooted habit was not completely changed. If she was not careful, Zhao would be restrained and would not pick up food.

"His third uncle, only our family, what else can you be scared about? This is different from your parents' home, and it is also different from when I was in the room." Zhang whispered to Zhao, "Now, now you live, you are the one who is the leader. You can do whatever you say..."

After about half an hour of eating, even Shoixun and Shouli were drunk. After a while, everyone just stopped doing nothing and just rested at home.

At night, because we could sleep for a while at noon, the big guys, especially even Man'er and other children, were very energetic. After simply having supper, everyone moved the tables and chairs to the yard, and all kinds of mooncakes, snacks, melon seeds and fruits were placed all over the table, and everyone sat around the table, enjoying the moon and chatting.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the night sky is clear and there are only a few slight clouds, as if it is a faint gauze covering, which cannot be blocked by anything. Instead, it makes the night sky look even more beautiful and peaceful.

Lian Man'er took a knife and picked out a piece of the mooncakes of each filling, cut them into small teeth, and placed them on a large plate to share them with them. In this way, everyone can eat as many mooncakes as possible.

After cutting the mooncakes, Lian Man'er went to break the pomegranate again. She asked the shopkeeper Wu to buy the pomegranate from the county town. It was big, and each one was six or seven taels. It had many fruit grains, and it had enough juice and tasted sweet.

Xiaoqi sat next to Lian Man'er and shared a pomegranate with her.

"Sister, are there really Chang'e and Jade Rabbit in the moon?" Xiaoqi asked Lian Man'er.

"This, probably...some." Lian Man'er thought about it and answered hesitantly.

"Ah..." Xiaoqi raised his head and stared at the bright moon in the sky without blinking.

"...When I got off work from the mountain that day, I saw Wu Ergou and Wu Sangou." Lian Shoulizheng and Lian Shouxin were talking, "Their families also started to collect land. They collected peanuts from the acres of land that depended on the Nanshan Mountain. When Wu Ergou saw me, he insisted on pulling me to talk. He said that the harvest in the fields this year is not good... Why do peanuts have insects? The harvest should be half of the previous years."

"What do they say?" Lian Shouxin frowned slightly, "Isn't this lies with lies with your eyes open? How good was the peanuts served me this year. Didn't we see all the peanuts from my six acres that day? How good was the peanuts on those acres of land growing? How good were there? "

"I told him that too. He told me that after we collected the ground, we didn't know what happened, the peanuts wilted and insects became." Lian Shouli said.

"What is he trying to do?" Lian Shouxin's brows frowned even more.

"What else can you think about?" Zhang heard it from the side and took over the conversation. "Isn't it just that the harvest is small, and then there will be very few rents for the house to be paid?"

This year, Mr. Lian handed over the land to the Wu brothers to collect it. The fixed amount was to divide the land to collect the rent according to the actual output, excluding the rations given to the Lian Shouli family. If the total output is small, then the land rent that the Wu brothers would give to Mr. Lian will naturally be less.

"That day, Jiang San's wife from Xi Village told me privately, saying why our old man rented the land to their brothers. They were very unkind people. Once they went to the streets, the chickens ran to his house and there was no one who could go out again. They came to the door and said that everyone had seen it. They caught the chickens, but they didn't bring any confessions." Zhang said again.

"Fourth brother, you're afraid you don't remember this. In the past, when our family rented land out, they rented it to their family. At that time, it seemed that the rent was unhappy and they always cried poor. It was either drought or flooded. There was always a saying that in those years, our family's land rent was confiscated."

Lian Shouli said that this was an old story about the Lian family that Lian Man'er had never heard of, so he turned his head and listened carefully. The attention of the other children was also attracted.

"Later, our family spent money slowly and the land rent was low, so my father took back all the land and we planted it ourselves. Because of this, their family even robbed several bags of grain from our family. They said that if our family collected the land, their family would have to starve. At that time, Ergou and Sangou's father were both here, named Wu Laokang, and he brought their two sons to our family to carry the grain."

Lian Man'er was so timid that she was so amazing that she actually had such a thing. The Wu family was such a top-notch, and Mr. Lian was once a bun.

"I don't remember much. Third brother, I have a little impression of it when I said this." Lian Shouxin said.

"Why do I think this matter is unreasonable?" Lian Man'er couldn't help but say, "The land is my master. My master wants to take it back. Can't his family go to rent other people's land? Why are you hungry and asking for food from me?"

"It's just lie." Zhang said.

"They have less land rent. How can I not know, so I will let them?" Goro asked. With the shrewdness of his old man, he should not be fooled.

"Your Madam doesn't know what you know, you're just soft-hearted." Lian Shouli said, "His family is poor. When it comes to paying the rent, he will pull his wife and children to cry for your madam and kowtow to your madam. Your madam feels pity for them and turns a blind eye."

"I also remember a little. At that time, their family seemed to have had some kinship with our family, and they called Keqianxiang. Later, we harvested the land and planted it ourselves, so they stopped coming. When they met, they sometimes talked, and sometimes they didn't talk." Lian Shouxin said.

"I seem to have heard from the old man in the village that his family is so poor that the two brothers' mothers don't even have a pair of pants covering their ankles." Zhang said.

"Why did my master rent the land to them again? No one else rented the land in this village?" Lian Man'er said in confusion.

"It seems that I know that your grandfather is going to rent a land out. They stopped your grandfather on the road and knelt down and begged you." Lian Shouxin said.

"Oh..." Lian Man'er said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty, you have such kind-heartedness. You must have seen them feel pitiful and soft-hearted, so you agreed." Zhang said to Lian Man'er in a low voice.

"As they can pull home so much, life should be better over the years, right?" Lian Man'er asked.

"What's the best thing? It's not much different from the past." Lian Shouli said.

"Third brother, then this matter..." Lian Shouxin asked Lian Shouli, "Do we have to do something?" You can't watch others fool Mr. Lian.

"What can we do? How do we do it?" Lian Shouli scratched his head and asked Lian Shouxin.
