Mai stood on tiptoe, nibbled half of the moon cake in his hand, put it on the longboard, and took another small cake steamed in a tea bowl.
"You're a little smart, but you can stretch your hands quickly."
Seeing this, the three brothers rushed to grab them, and one person grabbed two or three into their arms.
"What are you grabbing, there's still a lot in the pot, and I'll be able to get a lot out of it right away. There's another big one, so let's cut it up and eat it after watching the moon in the evening."
"Ma'am, this pot should be fine."
After the cook finished speaking, she took down the steamer and opened it to cool down.
After they stepped forward and took a look, they were convinced that there were many more, and they were relieved. Now there is no need to fight, enough for them to bring them to the academy for snacks tomorrow.
"Don't worry now? I just forgot, I should pack another box for Zhou Shan and let him send him to the palace to Princess Xuexi!"
"I'll give it to you on the next day off. Zhou Shan also has to go to school and has no time to enter the palace. Let's keep these for ourselves." The third child said in a protective manner.
"He can send someone to deliver them, everyone is so stingy, when we open the shop, you can eat as much as you want."
The second child was surprised, "Are we going to open a shop?"
"Well, passing by Chang'an Avenue today, I happened to see a shop with a rental notice, so I rented it."
"Great, Chang'an Avenue is the busiest and most prosperous, and our business must be good."
"When are we going to open? We can take the cake to the academy, try it out for classmates, and help promote it!"
The brain turns fast, and I know how to try it.
"In a few days, take the red deed to the yamen for registration tomorrow."
"Then it won't be divided tomorrow, keep it for yourself! Divide it the day before the opening."
Pei Xiu looked at the three with a smile, "Okay, let's go out, don't crowd in the kitchen to get in the way, the cook is going to prepare dinner."
They each took two cakes and went out contentedly.
It's still Shin Shih, and there's still some time before dinner, so they can put cake pads on their stomachs first.
Still sent wheat to play with the three brothers.
Her cake is ready, but the words that should be practiced today have not yet been practiced.
After the whole family had dinner together and admired the moon in the yard, the third child looked at the full moon in the sky and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, when will Dad come back? I miss Dad."
The other two also looked at Pei Xiu.
"My mother doesn't know either. I only know that the army is going to Nanban, and the road is long. Your father should still be halfway there, and there will be a war to go, and you don't know when you will be back."
"I heard that it takes a month to run with a horse and whip, and it will be winter when the army arrives." The boss was in the academy, and occasionally heard from his classmates.
The second child frowned, "It's so cold in winter, how can we fight, and I don't know if Dad will freeze in his armor."
Before Pei Xiu could speak, the boss said, "The winter in the south is not the same as that in the north. The south will be a little warmer, not to mention that Nanban is in the far south. I heard that the temperature there is generally high, and the winter is like the spring here, it is warm. very."
Pei Xiu nodded, "Yes, Nanman's winter is very warm. Now that your father is heading south, it will only get hotter and warmer."
"Dad won't come back for the new year?"
"Maybe!"
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Dad must be looking at the moon at the moment. Although we can't see Dad, but we live under the same sky, we can enjoy the moon in different places with him."
She was pleased that the second child was able to say these words, and touched his head, "You are right."
Zhou Cheng, who they were talking about, did sit on the grass tonight, looking up at the moon in the sky.
He touched his hot ears, and the expression on his face softened, which means that his wife and children are thinking about him.
They should also be sitting in the yard at the moment, watching the moon in the sky. On the reunion day of August 15th, they are separated from each other.
Qiu Baize just came back from taking a bath in the nearby river. Seeing him sitting alone on the grass watching the moon, he also came over and sat down beside him.
"What's the matter, do you miss your wife and children?"
"You do not want it?"
"Thinking about it, my heart hurts. Just a few months after we got married, my daughter-in-law became pregnant, and then they were separated from each other. This year, I finally took them over, and it was less than a month before they set off again Hey, I can't do anything that's sorry for her, I'm suffocated to death."
Zhou Cheng glanced at him sideways, what a horrible sight!
"Today is August fifteenth!"
"Ah? I said, why are you sitting here looking at the moon? My ears keep getting hot all the time at night. It's my daughter-in-law who is talking about it. My son's one-year-old is approaching. I don't know if he's scolding me?"
"Your son should not know that he has a father!"
Qiu Baize touched his nose, "I think so too. Go back and spank him."
"Speaking is a word!"
"Ha ha…"
After laughing, Qiu Baize also followed him and looked up at the sky, "We've been gone for a month, haven't we?"
"Well, it should be another two months."
"The deflated king of Jinyang, it's better for us to meet them halfway, and take them directly. He didn't take precautions that day, but he actually let him escape early. I didn't expect him to be so unseemly."
"If you can't escape, when you reach Nanman, you can catch them all in one go, and go to Beijing alive."
"I don't know when I can go back to Beijing."
"After the battle is over, you can go back. Let's go, go back to the tent and rest, we will leave the camp before dawn tomorrow." After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he got up and patted his buttocks and left.
Pei Xiu is also driving a few boys back to the house to sleep.
"It's getting late, cut the cake, eat a little and go back to the house to rest. Tomorrow you have to get up early and practice in the morning."
"Got it, mother."
After they finished eating, they went back to the house to wash up and go to bed.
On the second day, they and Zhou Shan both took cakes to the academy and prepared to serve as snacks in the afternoon.
This made all the classmates curious.
"What are you eating?"
The third child brought three, and when Xiao Jiu looked at him greedily, he gave him one.
He only has two left~ and no one will give it.
"This is a cake. It's soft and delicious. It's not sweet or greasy. Eat one and think of two. It's much better than moon cakes."
"Really? Where did you buy it?"
"The shop is on Chang'an Avenue, it hasn't opened yet, I'll let you know when it's open." The old third said while eating, and the intoxicated expression on his face tempted everyone.
"Oh~ it's your shop. Let's try it first? It's delicious, we will definitely visit!"
"No, I only have one left, and it's not enough for me to eat, no matter what! It's about to open in a few days, and I'll bring some more to share with you."
He was afraid that these people would be shameless, so he wrapped the remaining one in his arms.
"Cut~ cheapskate!"
Xiaojiu thought about it, he had eaten it anyway, and knew what it tasted, so he broke half of it and gave it to them.
"It's still small nine!"
The third child rolled his eyes, "Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!"
