Within two days, Alan left.

She left silently, without telling anyone, not even me. I continued to embroider with the embroiderers as usual, but when it was time to have lunch, she disappeared.

After searching inside and outside the house and asking everyone in the village, I found out she was gone.

The day after she left happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

After I came back to my senses, I regretted a little. Alan came to help me so kindly and righteously. I should have left her here to celebrate the festival. But now that the matter has come to this, I can only blame myself for being in hindsight.

The village was full of joy. After all, it was a day of reunion. The embroiderers came to work and brought their own fruits and vegetables. There were also a few skillful ones who made moon cakes. Although the taste was just average, after all,

It's a festival, everyone is eating with smiles sweeter than honey on their faces.

Seeing them so happy, even laughing while doing embroidery, I didn’t have the heart to control them, so we just played and worked at the same time. At noon, I also brought out the pastries I made to entertain everyone. Those embroidery girls were very happy.

I was so happy that I just laughed and played in the yard.

Yunxiang originally said that I was too lax, but seeing everyone so happy, she was too embarrassed to say anything else.

A group of women were chattering and laughing in the yard, and most of the day passed.

It gets dark very late in the south of the Yangtze River. After everyone finished their work, they went back early. Yunxiang and I stayed at the end to pack up the embroidery and the embroidery frame.

While I was packing, Yunxiang said to me: "Qingqing, come to my house for dinner tonight."

I glanced at her and she smiled and said: "Second brother went to the town to buy a lot of fruits and some delicious pastries. Let's enjoy the moon together tonight. Anyway, you and Li'er are both at home.

It’s deserted, why not come and celebrate the festival with us, it will be lively and lively.”

I smiled: "Not so good. You are also reunited as a family..."

"Oh, you are so polite to us." She grabbed the conversation and saw Li'er holding a bamboo horse and leading a group of dolls running over, so she greeted: "Li'er, Aunt Yunxiang's house has delicious fruits. You

Come and play tonight?"

When Li'er heard this, his eyes lit up.

But fortunately, this girl didn't rush up to her as soon as she heard there was food. Instead, she looked at me carefully and said, "Mom, can Li'er go?"

Looking at her puppy-like eyes and then at Yunxiang, I couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, go, let's all go."

Yunxiang smiled immediately, and Li'er also jumped into the yard happily: "Okay! Aunt Yunxiang, I have also made a lot of snacks, and they are all delicious. I will also bring them over and eat them with you, okay?"

"Of course!"

They made the decision, but they left me aside. While smiling, I packed up the last things, washed Li'er's hands, and then took her and Yunxiang to her place.

Home.

Since the second brother of the Zhao family came back, Yunxiang's natal family has finally improved. And because of such a strong backing, Gou Er dared not mess around outside and treated Yunxiang better. Tonight, even he

I also obediently carried the fruits to my mother-in-law's house, and even rushed to help with the work.

Because of the festival, Aunt Zhao was also happy and used all her skills. There was a lot of fish and meat on the table, and she even opened a jar of osmanthus wine that she brewed herself and had hidden for five or six years. As soon as the mud seal was opened, she could smell the osmanthus wine.

The sweet smell that fills the house, coupled with the aroma of vegetables and rice, makes people's index fingers move.

Everyone sat down with a smile and said that they wanted to make a tooth sacrifice. Aunt Zhao picked up the fish meat and piled a small mountain in Li'er's bowl. This girl kept eating and watched us adults toasting and drinking. She must have also

Wanting to have a taste, Brother Zhao took the tip of his chopsticks and dipped a little on her tongue.

Suddenly, Li'er's eyes turned red, he stuck out his tongue and inhaled, and kept fanning his mouth with both hands: "It's so spicy! It's so spicy!"

Seeing her embarrassed look, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

After dinner, the sky outside also darkened. I helped Aunt Zhao clean up the dishes. When I came out, Brother Zhao and the others had already set up a small table and stools in the yard. There was an incense burner on the table.

Various fruits were placed.

At this time, the full moon is in the sky, casting thousands of miles of clear light. The entire earth is coated with a layer of silver-gray light, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace. Even the chirping of the crickets in the surrounding grass has a rhythm.

Suddenly, with the distant waves of the river, it looked so harmonious.

I helped Mrs. Zhao walk over and sit down. She raised her head and looked at the moon with a faint smile on her face.

"The moon tonight is really beautiful."

"Yes." Yunxiang also raised her head: "I haven't seen such a round moon for a long time."

"It's a pity that people are not round..."

Aunt Zhao said, her voice a little choked. I saw a little tears in her eyes, and I knew she was thinking of her son. Brother Zhao hurriedly came over and squatted next to her: "Mother."

Aunt Zhao looked down at him, choked slightly and said: "It would be fine if we don't fight."

We all fell silent as we listened to her words.

Yes, it would be better if there was no war. There would not be so much separation, not so much death. A war is a legend among storytellers, and it is also a word from those in power, but storytellers cannot tell the pain, blood and tears behind the war. Those in power

They never have to go into battle in person; it is the common people who actually face the swords and swords, and this is a matter of life and death for the common people, but it is never up to them to make the decision.

It would be fine if there was no war...

After a moment of silence, Yunxiang probably didn't want the atmosphere to be so gloomy, so she smiled and said: "The weather is so good today, and the river must be very beautiful. Let's go to the river to enjoy the moon."

Li'er said strangely: "Is there anything good to see by the river? It's dark and cold."

Yunxiang smiled and said: "Silly'er, could Aunt Yunxiang lie to you? We will find out after we go and see it."

When she made such a suggestion, everyone knew that she did not want Mrs. Zhao to fall into a sad mood again, so they all agreed. It happened that the surrounding neighbors were also going out, and everyone was ready to go to the river to enjoy the entertainment, so we joined everyone,

Someone was walking to the river carrying a lantern.

Before reaching the river bank, I felt a burst of water vapor first, and the sound of the river water lapping on the bank made the night seem more peaceful.

And from a distance, I saw a piece of silver light.

Having lived in Jixiang Village for so long, I rarely come to the river at such a late hour. I saw the river flowing slowly, and the full moon in the sky was reflected in the water, and the waves rippled slightly.

The sparkling light is as beautiful as a dream.

I couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

Li'er was stunned, when a group of children from the village came running behind her. They greeted her as soon as they saw her, and Li'er immediately ran over with them. A group of children started to play happily by the river.

I stood on the river beach, looking at the sparkling waves and admiring them endlessly. At this time, the second brother of the Zhao family came to me and said with a smile: "Why, San'er never brought you here to see it before?"
p>

I smiled and shook my head.

"This boy really doesn't know how to coax his wife."

I smiled again.

Speaking of which, he really doesn't know how to coax me. Although he treats me well, he never knows how to make me happy. When he was in Jixiang Village in the past, he was naturally dull and talkative, and he couldn't say a single flower.

Later, I followed Fu Badai. I became more knowledgeable and talked less. I could be called a man of few words. Even at the bottom of the valley, when I spent time with him day and night, and we were whispering, he didn't say a sweet word.

Looking back on the years we spent together, the most romantic thing he ever did was probably catching me a bag of fireflies and bringing them back, not for the sake of looking good, but just to help me illuminate my embroidery.

As for later, the Mid-Autumn Festival after I married him... I have almost no memory.

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly remembered that at that time, he was busy reading all day long and didn't even bother to eat or sleep. How could he bother to coax me?

I still remember that that night, there seemed to be a lot of people laughing and playing outside, but he was still alone at the table, reading hard in front of the flickering candlelight. Seeing him studying hard, I

Read a poem to him——

"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes, this is difficult to do in ancient times..."

This matter has never been completely solved...

Just as I was thinking about it, I couldn't help but read it out softly. Brother Zhao looked down at me and didn't speak for a while. However, the crowd at the riverside in front suddenly let out a burst of exclamation. I was startled, and then I came back to my senses.

When I raised my head, I felt a bright light in front of my eyes, which made me unable to open my eyes for a while.
