Chapter 40

Because both of them were happy in their hearts, this matter was decided like this, and they continued to chat at the wine table. He didn't go home until Luo Jun really couldn't drink, but Luo Mai still had nothing to do, and he still had nothing to do with him. Just the same.

"Oh, I didn't expect my plan to be realized so soon. It's really good to think about it. In two days, I have to quickly use the spiritual water from the fairy garden to water the land on the top of the mountain, otherwise the money will still be wasted." Luo Mai cleaned up the dishes and greeted his parents after washing them, saying that he was tired and went back to his room to rest.

Lying on the bed, Luo Mai thought about how to manage the land again. The current situation is equivalent to Luo Mai being the boss and Luo Jun being the employee, but the money they earn is divided equally. Uncle, Luo Mai didn't think too much about it. If Chen Yang worked too hard, he would just give him more money in the future.

Brothers can't suffer, Luo Mai is a bit too easy to do as the shopkeeper, I can't publicly say that I have money, I still have to continue to use the reason for encountering ginseng by chance, Luo Mai has been lying all this time , he felt a little embarrassed.

Entering the fairy garden space, I took a look at the growth of the vegetables, harvested what should be harvested, and kept them aside. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will return to the hotel to provide vegetables.

Looking at a few fruit trees, Luo Mai picked the ripe fruits, then brought out some vegetables, walked to the kitchen on tiptoe, put them in the refrigerator, and replaced all the water in the tank with fairy garden spiritual water.

He can feel subtle changes in his body after drinking this spiritual water. He also believes that after drinking the fairy garden spiritual water, his parents can also improve their physical functions and make them healthier.

After finishing all this quietly, Luo Mai returned to the room and entered the fairy garden to start today's practice. He persisted in this way every day, and it became a habit over time. If he suddenly didn't practice one day, he would feel uncomfortable. Comfortable.

The next day, Luo Mai woke up early just like yesterday. After breakfast, Luo Mai and his mother went to the town hall to make mooncakes.

The mooncakes eaten in the countryside are all made by ourselves. There is a place in the town that specializes in making mooncakes. Every time around the Mid-Autumn Festival, people from several nearby villages and towns will make mooncakes. Handmade mooncakes are safe to eat. , It doesn't cost much.

Some of the mooncakes bought outside may have passed the expiration date, and the fillings used do not know what kind of fillings are used. One year’s news also revealed that the mooncakes of that year were directly replaced with last year’s mooncakes. The packaging box was taken out and sold directly. As soon as the news came out at that time, many people were afraid to eat mooncakes.

It’s better to live in the countryside. I grow my own vegetables, and there are no pesticides. It’s the most authentic green food.

Luo Mai is also familiar with the place where moon cakes are made. This has been done since he was a child. His favorite moon cakes are bean paste fillings. Usually, when making moon cakes, he will put the fillings he brought in a basin. Luo Mai often secretly ate the bean paste in the basin while the adults were not paying attention.

What parents love to eat is Wu Ren stuffed mooncakes, which is also related to his family's family situation.

I still remember one year, when my father fell ill and spent almost all of my family’s savings. During the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, I didn’t have any extra money to make mooncakes with other fillings, so I had to choose the cheapest Wuren stuffing. Luo Mai loves bean paste, and that year he made a fuss about eating mooncakes filled with bean paste.

His parents had no choice but to make all the mooncakes with red bean paste. They made five red bean paste that year when they could make ten Wu Ren, all for Luo Mai, and all the mooncakes that year were eaten by Luo Mai. Parents are not willing to eat one.

Later, Luo Mai, who gradually became sensible, felt ashamed whenever he thought of this matter, and always regretted that he was too self-willed at the time, because his own responsibility made his parents difficult. After becoming sensible, Luo Mai has always been very sensible and modest , I know how to take care of my parents' feelings.

When Luo Mai came to the place where the moon cakes were made, Luo Mai took a look. There were several people in the front line. He thought he had come early enough, but unexpectedly, there were people who were earlier than them.

I waited for a long time with Luo Mu before they got in line. This is not the first time that Luo Mai has made it. The same method as in previous years, quickly put the filling in the flour, and then use the moon cake mold to make a moon cake shape. Then put it in the oven to bake.

After putting it inside, there was still an hour to wait, so Luo Mai went shopping with his mother in the town to see if his mother had anything to buy. He noticed that his mother's clothes had been worn for a long time, so he took his mother to the town Go to the mall that sells clothes to buy a dress or two.

At first Luo Mu refused to go, but in the end she couldn't resist Luo Mai's request and followed him to the mall to buy clothes.

Walking around the mall with his mother, Luo Mai knew that his mother was reluctant to spend money, so he didn't force his mother to buy too expensive clothes. He hadn't told Luo's mother that he was rich yet.

Under Luo Mai's repeated requests, Luo's mother finally agreed to buy two sets of new clothes. By the way, she also bought two sets of clothes that were suitable for Luo's father. They were all paid by Luo Mai. After buying the clothes, the mother and son returned home. The moon cake shop, the timing is just right, and the moon cakes were already ready when they went back. This year, they made the most moon cakes, making more than 30 moon cakes.

I bought some more fruit and saved it for watching the moon tonight. Walking and stopping, Luo Mai carried the mooncakes and walked behind Luo Mu. He would pay for everything Luo Mu bought, and Lin Lin always only spent more than 200 yuan. It's only a dollar.

"Old man, come and have a look, my son bought us two sets of clothes." As soon as he got home, Mother Luo called Father Luo into the house as soon as she put down the things in her hands.

"You guys, why did you go to a town to buy clothes? It's not the Spring Festival now." Luo's father came out and heard Luo's mother say this. Although he said so, he was very happy in his heart.

"Hey, this is the money paid by my son. Come and try it on. If it doesn't fit, we will change it." Father Luo and mother Luo went back to the room to try on their own clothes.

As soon as the two of them came out, Luo Mai grinned, because his parents were not old in the first place, and it was only because of their hard work these years that they looked like people in their 70s and [-]s. Now they looked like they were wearing new clothes. Looked younger.

"Mom and Dad, don't you need to change it? This is very smart." Luo Mai circled around them, as if he was back when he was a child. He loved to surround his parents when he had nothing to do. Telling them this, in those days , Although it is hard, it is indeed a real happiness.

In this age of looking at money, Luo Mai is powerless to complain. If he doesn’t have money, he doesn’t know if he can come back to accompany his parents this Mid-Autumn Festival. If he doesn’t have money, he can’t help his brother when he needs it. Money, parents' clothes will always be old.

"No need to change, no need to change, what we wear fits right! Son, if you have money, you should keep some for yourself. We work in the fields every day at home. You don't need to dress too well. When you are studying at school, you see other classmates You can’t be short of some, you know?” Luo Mu said earnestly while pulling Luo Mai’s sign language instead.

"Mom, why are you talking about this? Do you think your son is inferior to others? Your son is the best." Luo Mai intentionally made a joke, bringing this slightly heavy topic to the attention.

"Hey, hey, yes, my son is the best!" Mother Luo didn't talk about those heavy topics any more, and said the same to Luo Mai with tears in her eyes.

"Okay mom, I'm hungry, dad is hungry too, let's cook!" Luo Mai deliberately touched his belly, and brought his father with him. After hearing Luo Mai's words, Luo Mai responded I changed into new clothes and went to cook happily.

The custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Luo Mai’s house is that every household will go outside the door on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, choose an open space where the moon can be seen, and set up a table with moon cakes on the table and fruits among them. kind of stuff.

The pomelo is essential. If anyone has a pomelo tree, ask for one or buy one today. At night, use a longer bamboo pole to lift the pomelo, stick incense on the pomelo, and put it aside , worship the moon god in this way.

A family sits at the table and chats while admiring the moon. If there are neighbors or relatives and friends, you can also put together the sacrifices at home, and then sit together and watch the moon.

There are also some people who invite relatives and friends to drink at home during this dinner. Everyone sits together, drinks and plays, and has fun. Apart from the Spring Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the most lively.

Children are walking around the streets and alleys in groups holding lanterns made of big cigarette boxes, playing together, the village is brightly lit, chatting continuously, such a lively scene is probably only in the village Or it can be seen in more remote places.

In the city, there is no festive feeling at all, and there is no atmosphere. Most of the friends are playing together, and the parents are at home.

At around eight o'clock, Luo Mai set out the table, took out the prepared things and put them on the table, and moved some stools aside.

While Luo Mai was looking around, Luo Jun and his parents came to Luo Mai's house. Their house was not too far apart, so it was easy to move around.

"Luo Mai, my brother is here, do you welcome me!" Yang Jun shouted as he put his things on the table as soon as he arrived.

"Where is the wild child? Go home, don't let your mother look for you in a hurry!" Luo Mai's mouth was not polite, and he said directly to Chen Yang.

"Yo yo, my mother is here too!" Luo Jun directly pulled his mother over.

"Godmother godfather! Take this monkey back, it's too jumpy." Luo Mai and Luo Jun's parents greeted each other before joking.

"This monkey should be tied up." Luo Jun's mother also said with a smile.

It’s true that Luo Mai’s parents have also come out, and the parents of both families are very happy. They haven’t been able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together for several years. This festive flavor will be more meaningful if the children are present.

The adults were sitting there chatting, Luo Mai and Luo Jun made lanterns on the ground with the cigarette boxes as they did when they were children, they found two cigarette boxes and quickly cut them up, and then they found a rope and two of the same length Wooden sticks and paper lanterns are unfolded and a candle is placed on the middle base, and the lantern is ready.
