Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 44

October [-]th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Yuexi, August Festival, Moon Chasing Festival or Reunion Festival, is named because it coincides with the half of the three autumns.

On this day, everyone put other things aside and gathered together to immerse themselves in this traditional festival that is as famous as the Spring Festival.

Since ancient times, the Mid-Autumn Festival has had customs such as worshiping the moon, admiring the moon, worshiping the moon, eating moon cakes, admiring osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine.Influenced by Chinese culture, the Mid Autumn Festival is also a traditional festival in some countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia, especially the local Chinese and overseas Chinese.

It was drizzling all day in Gu Peng City, Hu Tu put Lao Qi and selling watermelons aside, and spent a whole day at home with Xu Suwan.

They didn't do anything particularly important, they just worked hard on eating and drinking for the day together.One is in charge of steaming steamed buns, and the other is making thousand-layer moon cakes, both of which are filled with sesame sugar fillings.When it was time for the meal, they cooperated to prepare a sumptuous meal, including delicacies made from fish and shrimp produced in the space.The table is full of delicious and sweet food, just like their mood, full of hope and beauty.

Autumn rainy night is a wonderful scenery.

When you are bored, walk in the autumn rain, feel the poetic and picturesque feeling of autumn in the rustling rain, and feel the thin raindrops sprinkled on your body, which is as cool and pleasant as jade; It is very close, very ethereal and very realistic, with a special taste in my heart; when thinking about it, I sit quietly and look at the autumn rain, imagining a bleak figure appearing in the rain, and what gradually leaves is a chilling smile.

Where the autumn wind passes by, the five grains are fragrant, which is really good.It's a pity that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moonlight can't be seen because of the obstruction of the autumn rain, so it's said that the rain didn't come well, or it didn't come at the right time.

Also because of the rain, Hu and Tu could only stay in the house, watching TV, chatting, and eating.The food on the table is very rich, including steamed buns, moon cakes, apples, strawberries, watermelons, sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus wine and melon seeds.

On this special night, they listened to the familiar voices of their relatives, smelled the tempting aroma of food, and drank a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine to celebrate the sweetness of the family. It was simply a beautiful enjoyment.Occasionally, they heard the sound of fireworks blooming outside and saw the wonderful lights shining in the sky, which did not interrupt their train of thought, but only added a bit of festive atmosphere to them.

Xu Suwan talked about a moon sacrifice event she once participated in during the Mid-Autumn Festival when she was a child: "It was like holding a wedding event. A big incense table was set up at the head of the village, and moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other offerings were placed. The watermelon should also be cut into lotus shape, which is very beautiful. Then under the moon, put the statue of the moon god in the direction of the moon, the red candle is lit high, the whole family worships the moon one by one, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cake. Calculate in advance how many people there are in the whole family, those who are at home and those who are away from home should be counted together, neither more nor less, the size should be the same.”

Hu Tu listened with relish, imagining the possible feeling of being in it, it must be very interesting.

Life needs a sense of ritual, which will make people feel that they are taking every irreversible good time seriously and doing something worth doing.Now this kind of ritual has gradually disappeared, so that the festival has become common, and there is no memory point to remember.Memory is sharp, people will only remember the most special years, if it is not special, it will be difficult to be remembered.

After finishing speaking, Xu Suwan suddenly let out a long sigh, and said, "Hu Tu, your father has been gone for many years, and I miss him every Mid-Autumn Festival, but I have never cut mooncakes for him. You said, no one else Now, do you still count as members of our family?"

"Forget it, of course forget it." Hu Tu nodded very seriously, "As long as we don't forget him, he is a member of our family."

"Then give him a piece of this mooncake, and I'll cut it for him." Xu Suwan stood up, picked up a fruit knife and solemnly cut a piece of thousand-layer mooncake, and then asked, "Do you still have any impression of him? You haven't gotten along How long, I should have forgotten it!"

"Of course I remember, it's impossible to forget." Hu Tu straightened his waist and recalled, "Although it wasn't long, it was the first time in a short period of time that I felt kindness and love. It was completely different from what I was in the orphanage."

He spoke the truth, but his yearning was different from Xu Suwan's, he was not so deep and strong.

However, after many years, even if the thought is strong, the words are light.She said: "Yes, he is very kind and caring. Alas, it is a pity that these advantages have become disadvantages after he is gone. It is difficult to get used to it in the days since then." At this time, Her eyes were particularly sad.

The waste collection station is separated from Hedong Village by a river, and from Hexi Village by a large road. There is no village in front of it, and no shop in back, so it is extraordinarily quiet at night.Over the years, they have been used to this kind of silence, but on the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they still feel the desolation of the night.

Especially Xu Suwan, she rarely mentions those things in the past, and she doesn't often recall them seriously, but she still thinks of them at special times.The Mid-Autumn Festival is based on the circle of the moon, which symbolizes the reunion of people. It is a sustenance to miss the hometown, miss the love of relatives, and pray for a good harvest and happiness. .

"Yellow-leaved tree in the rain, white-headed man under the lamp".Autumn wind and autumn rainy night are the time to think about autumn most.The dead have passed away, and the living can only let the years go by and grow old.The season is still the same, but things have changed.

Missing is good, because passing away is long.First is leaving, then forgetting.When no one remembers that there is such a person, he will really pass away completely.

Talking until late at night, the drizzle gradually stopped, but the moonlight could not be seen yet.Xu Suwan yawned, and explained: "Today is a holiday, so don't be too busy, go to bed early. A friend will ask me to go shopping tomorrow, so I don't need to prepare my breakfast. I can just eat some strawberries and sweet-scented osmanthus cake. "

"I will." Hu Tu agreed, and added, "Boss Xu will come back tomorrow, just in time to go to her to settle last month's bill."

Xu Suwan smiled and asked: "I've seen that girl before, she looks really good. Did she come here specially to pay you? Then you go, talk to people well, it would be even better if you can marry her back home. "She looked at Hu Tu with playful eyes, feeling like urging the marriage, but also not; it seemed to be a joke, but after thinking about it, there was a serious element.

"Mom, they already have boyfriends." Hu Tu quickly explained, "And she didn't pay me specifically. I guess she came back to look at the store. After all, the new store opened not long ago. Otherwise, I didn't go to ask for it. It doesn't make sense for her to come back just to pay me the bill."

Hu Tu is still young, he still has a lot of time to choose, he is not in a hurry.
