Chapter 742 Sacrifice to the Moon
"I'm home!"
Siniang and Sanlang looked at the carriage approaching from the alley and shouted loudly into the courtyard.
The brother and sister were wearing gauze jackets and pants of the same color and fabric, with the same double bun, and the same color of autumn leaf yellow knots. They poked their heads at the same time, one to the left and one to the right, exactly symmetrical, like two small doors. Tong looked beaming with joy.
Yin Le heard the sound and ran out quickly, with one hand in each hand, and rubbed the two fleshy little faces, wanting to take a bite and eat them in his stomach.
A Wang and others also came out to greet them. They looked at the stopped carriage and wondered what Qin Yao and his wife were doing. They promised to come back soon, but they were gone for half an hour.
Qin Yao should dismount first and open the rear door.
“Awang, come here and help me.” Qin Yao greeted.
Awang stepped forward quickly and saw Gong Liangxiao sitting in a wheelchair in the open rear door with an embarrassed look on his face. Liu Ji was squatting beside him, trying hard to push him out of the car.
"gentlemen!"
A Wang was shocked. He looked at the calm couple who seemed to have just gone out to pick up an ordinary friend. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked around to make sure there were no spies or spies. Then he felt relieved.
Waving his hand, he signaled the old man, who could not carry it, to come down. He got into the carriage and directly carried Gong Liangxiao down.
Qin Yao handed the carriage to Liu Ji for disposal, lifted the heavy wheelchair, and followed him into the hospital.
Everyone in the family opened their mouths into an O shape when they saw Gong Liangxiao.
But a tacit understanding soon developed and we quickly got busy.
Without saying a word, Liu Fei ran to help Liu Ji pull the carriage away. Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang hurriedly followed the courtyard and found wooden boards to place on the steps of the house to make it easier for Gong Liangliao to get up and down.
He poured him hot tea and handed him cakes to calm the old man's shock.
Erlang is more careful and has moved the clean bucket that collapsed in Dad's study to the side door for easy access at any time.
Dalang and Yin Le stayed at the gate. They looked around the front and back of the house like thieves. When neighbors asked, they suppressed their nervousness and explained in a serious manner, "Dad and Mom" Bring distant relatives from the countryside to spend the holidays together.
The neighbors were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Mrs. Qin's family had relatives in the capital, and they all praised her with some kind words such as filial piety.
It was not until they were sure that everything was correct that Yin Le and Dalang closed the door and returned home.
Gong Liangxiao sat under the corridor in front of the main hall, his eyes burning as he looked at Qin Yao's family who were busy working for him.
The old man couldn't stand this scene, so he hurriedly picked up the hot tea and pretended to taste it, using the steaming mist to cover up the emotion in his eyes.
After a while, he returned to his usual calm and profound appearance.
As night falls, all kinds of brightly colored lanterns in the courtyard have been lit up, reflecting the faces of everyone in the courtyard with colorful colors and filling the atmosphere.
Qin Yao looked back at the people around her, nodded slightly to Gong Liangxiao, turned around, faced the altar table, and said with a smile: "Start worshiping the moon!"
Although it's just a matter of meaning, once the ceremony officially started, the adults and children in the family looked solemn and solemn.
Gong Liangxiao has sufficient experience and is on hand to guide.
First, Qin Yao and his wife held incense and came forward to worship the gods of heaven and earth, praying for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
Then everyone in the family, from the oldest to the youngest, come forward one by one to kowtow and pray.
Finally, the ceremony is completed, and the family cooks and distributes the prepared large mooncakes to the family members. Before eating, each person must say an auspicious word related to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon, etc.
Liu Ji, who has such a conspicuous bag, naturally will not miss this opportunity to show off. He said a lot in one breath, which made Erlang anxious.
After all, it is stipulated that you cannot say the same thing as others. Every time his father says more, he will lose one.
Fortunately, Erlang found his father's nemesis. With a pitiful "A Niang~", Liu Ji immediately got a shock and was forced to stop.
He was not angry at all, he was laughing and looking at Erlang provocatively. Erlang raised his chin proudly, holding the moon cake in one hand and holding the other behind his back, showing off his posture. Then he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, shook his head and said:
“The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival brings full blessings, happy reunions, good fortune and good health!”
Liu Ji let out a strange hey, and encouraged him without fear of trouble: "Just a few more words."
Come as soon as you come, he is not afraid. Erlang closed his eyes and continued: "Let's not talk about the waxing and waning of clouds and sunshine, but I am happy for the good season in the world. Good season, I hope we can see the Mid-Autumn moon every year!"
Sanlang and Siniang were extremely generous and applauded.
“Second brother is so awesome!”
“Second brother is so smart!”
Liu Ji snorted and tried to encourage him. Qin Yao glanced at him and then restrained himself.
The rest of the people, although they did not speak as much as Liu Ji and Erlang, they all said a few words each and ate the mooncakes filled with blessings.
After the moon festival is over, the meal can be officially served.
Nga Wang, Liu Ji, Liu Fei and others worked hard all day to prepare twelve dishes, four cold, four hot, four sweet and four soup. Although there is no exquisite presentation, it contains everyone's favorite dishes in the family. Both adults and children can enjoy it. Have fun eating.
Everyone did not go out of their way to greet Gong Liangliao. They talked about their recent interesting stories and future ideals as they usually did when dining together in the village. From time to time, they asked the old man a question, and after receiving a few words of advice, they suddenly became enlightened.
“Dong dong dong!”
There was a knock on the door.
The boy Wang Chengyang shouted from outside the door: "Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang, come out quickly and let's go see the iron workers!"
There was also an excited knock on the door from the granddaughter of the Qiu family, "Siniang, Siniang, have you finished your meal? My grandpa took us to see a sideshow."
“Aniang!” Several children in the family immediately stood up excitedly and looked at Qin Yao with expectant eyes.
Qin Yao waved her hand proudly, "Let's go when you're full!"
He motioned to Ngawang, Yinle, and Liu Fei to go with the children first, while she and Liu Ji pushed Gong Liangliao behind.
After all, people were brought out well and must be sent back well.
Gong Liangxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but look forward to it. The Mid-Autumn Festival, which was so lively last time, seems to have become a blur.
With the permission of their parents, the four Dalang brothers immediately got into their little cloth bags, took their pocket money, went out to meet their friends, and rushed to the moat.
The older child is holding the smaller child, and Awang and others are following behind him. Qin Yao and Liu Ji don't have to worry about them and can push Gong Liangliao for a leisurely stroll.
There were not many people at first, but when we got near the moat, the crowds were so crowded that the wheelchair could no longer be pushed in.
Liu Ji was anxious. He pushed forward with his feet and could only see a mass of black heads and splashes of golden iron stars.
It's best if you can't see it, but seeing a little spark made him itchy.
But it's hard to push a wheelchair.
Gong Liangxiao said forget it, it would be nice to look at it from a distance.
Liu Ji couldn't do it. He turned his head and looked around, and suddenly found a wonderful place. He raised his hand and pointed to the southeast - it was the tallest building in the capital, Fanlou.
Qin Yao followed his finger and said with a confident smile: "I understand."
Liu Ji was stunned. She understood before he even said anything?
Wait, no, what on earth did she understand? Why are you laughing so weirdly!
Qin Yao curled her lips and smiled evilly, and stretched out her claws towards the master and disciple beside her.
A moment later, where the three of them had just led, there was only a lonely wooden wheelchair lying in the corner.
The two masters and apprentices, who were thrown directly to the roof of Fanlou by Qin Yao one by one, looked at the large swaths of gorgeous iron flowers blooming below and couldn't help but rub their hands with excitement. It was so exciting!
Liu Ji: My wife is the best!
