Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 357 Mid-Autumn Festival
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival in Lao Bai's house was extremely lively.

The shop in Huaicheng opened very smoothly, and the embroidery workshop in the village opened up. In addition, the fifth son of the Bai family and the magistrate's niece discussed marriage. The next generation is about to be born, and all kinds of happy events show the prosperous life of the Bai family.

Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival was missing the fourth son of the Bai family, and Bai Sanzhuang was not married yet.

This year, the fourth child of the Bai family returned home early.

Originally, Bai Sanzhuang was busy with business in Huaicheng, and his family thought that he would not go home if he couldn't get away. Unexpectedly, he set off from Huaicheng the night before and came to Shenshu Village on the [-]th morning to celebrate the festival.

The Bai family was able to reunite as a family in this Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Bai family received a lot of mid-autumn gifts, from the Zhou family in Huaicheng, from the magistrate's wife, from shopkeeper Xu's family, from Xie Chuntao's natal brother, and from Grandma Du's family.

Of course, Lao Bai's family also returned the gift one by one before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

To the surprise of the Bai family, Zhen's eldest niece, Chen Jing'er, also sent someone to send a gift.

Zongzi, four kinds of fruits, a rib, and two pieces of satin for Xiao Fuyuan.

Chen Jing'er's attitude towards Lao Bai's family obviously followed Aunt Chen's rhythm. In the past, Aunt Chen was indifferent to Lao Bai's family. Except for walking around with Lao Bai's family when she was just married, Chen Jing'er had no contact with Lao Bai's family for many years.

Xiaofu's full moon wine, Bai Sanzhuang's marriage, Xiao Lang's birth... She pretended not to know about these happy events that happened in Lao Bai's house after Chen Jinger got married.

Now that Baba is giving the gift, it's not because the Bai family's life is getting better and better, so they put down their body and walk around.

There is also Chen Xuan'er living in the Bai family.

The old lady Bai and Zhen Shi hinted many times in secret, but she did not move, and even You Jingui directly drove her away, and she said that it would not be too late to go home when it snowed.

Fortunately, she hasn't had any trouble these days, and she hasn't spoken to Bai Panmei.

The embroidery workshop closed for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As the owner, Lao Bai's family paid each of the female workers in the embroidery workshop five hundred dollars.

I didn't expect to work in Bai's house. In addition to receiving wages every month, I even got extra money during the festival. The female workers in the embroidery workshop worked harder and harder when they were happy.

The days of reunion are especially beautiful, and the Bai family yard has been full of joy since the morning.

Mooncakes, melons, fruits, and pastries are piled up on the table, and Dalang and other children can eat them openly.

"Two boxes of moon cakes, a basket of lotus roots, a basket of crabapple fruits, four koi, a sheep..." Mrs. Bai was counting the August gifts for the mansion opposite.

Although they live on the opposite side and the two families are such close neighbors, there is no lack of etiquette.

The mooncakes were made by Mrs. Zhen herself with Chuntao, using the recipe from the former Zhen family.The lotus root was sent by Xie Chuntao's mother's family. It is the first crop of lotus root after the lotus leaves wither in autumn.The crabapple fruit and carp were produced by Xiao Fuyuan on the mountain in Xiangyang Village.

Strange to say, there is a mountain spring in a hidden place in that mountain, since the mountain was bought by the Bai family and recorded under Xiao Fuyuan's name, the spring water has been flowing continuously, and it has saved people in Xiangyang Village during the drought, and even more so. As the drought eased, the flow became bigger and bigger and gradually merged into mountain streams.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Bai family took Xiao Fuyuan to pick fruits in the mountains. When they were thirsty, they came to the spring to drink water. Several fat koi came out of the spring and jumped into Xiao Fuyuan's arms.

So she brought back four koi and planned to give them to Ah Zhen to raise them in the fish pond in the yard.

The sheep was given to Meng Zhixu by the Bai family, thanking him for taking care of Bai Zhaomei.

"Da Zhuang, take these things and your sister and send them to the next door." The old lady Bai ordered Bai Dazhuang.

The big house next door.

Under Ah Zhen's gaze, He Shun was also taking stock of the gifts to be given away.

"Master, do you want to give this one too? This is..." He Shun asked hesitantly while holding a set of the Four Treasures of the Study that was bestowed by Beijing.

"Send it." Ah Zhen said.

This set of the Four Treasures of the Study was bestowed by the emperor, and was sent by a special messenger just before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It can be seen that the emperor has a young master in his heart.

He sent it out without hesitation.

"Zongzi, Xiaoyuanbao's favorite pastry, satin made inside, water chestnut chicken head rice, new dishes made by Liu Yishou...Young master, do you think these are feasible?" He Shun asked, pointing to the full basket in front of him.

"Okay." Ah Zhen nodded, and said again, "Take out my glazed tile palace lantern and give it to my sister together."

Wu Xiaoying quickly brought the palace lantern.

Ah Zhen personally held the palace lantern, and took Wu Xiaoying and Liu Yishou to Bai's house to give the gift.

As soon as I walked to the door, I met Bai Dazhuang, Xiao Fuyuan, Dalang Saburo, and Liu Shu who made up the numbers. Each of them held a boxing ceremony in their hands.

"Brother Ah Zhen, this is for you." Xiao Fuyuan pointed to the koi in the bucket and said.

The four koi seemed to understand human speech, splashing a string of water.

Ah Zhen ordered Wu Xiaoying to pick it up, and she was released in the fish pond in the yard.

"Sister, this is the palace lantern for you." Ah Zhen raised the lantern in his hand.

Xiao Fuyuan took it, and repeatedly lamented the exquisiteness and beauty of the lamp.

Abandoning the others, the two went to sit and talk on the rocks under the tree next to them.

"It looks better when it is lighted at night, and it is the most suitable for carrying it when admiring the moon," Ah Zhen said.

Xiao Fuyuan touched the lamp fondly and nodded repeatedly, already looking forward to the moon rising at night.

"Don't you have a home of your own? Why are you spending the holidays at someone else's house?" Ah Zhen felt unhappy when she saw Liu Shu running over.

"My sister promised me to spend the holiday at their house." Liu Shu looked at Xiao Fuyuan and said timidly. He was a little afraid of Ah Zhen, not only he was afraid, but his father seemed to be afraid too.

"You're fine, don't keep running towards Shenshu Village," Ah Zhen said.

Liu Shu thought to himself, the management is quite lenient.

Want to fight, but dare not fight.

So he said to Ah Zhen in a showy manner: "I will definitely come here often in the future. My cousin and Xiao Yuanbao's fifth brother are getting engaged. From now on, the Bai family and I will be relatives, and Xiao Yuanbao will be my cousin in the future."

Ah Zhen looked at Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, his cousin will become my fourth sister-in-law."

Ah Zhen: "..."

He didn't expect that Liu Hong didn't betroth his niece to the more promising fourth child of the Bai family, but the fifth child.

Now, Liu Shu will come to Bai's house to be a guest even more blatantly.

"Sister, how about I spend the holiday at your house today?" Ah Zhen asked Xiao Fuyuan aside Liu Shu.

"Of course." Xiao Fuyuan nodded, she knew very well that although Ah Zhen lived in a big house, he was accompanied by a lot of people, but he was the only one eating at a big table, and no one had a reunion dinner with him.

Even if Ah Zhen didn't say anything, she still wanted to invite Ah Zhen to come to her house to celebrate the festival, eat together, and enjoy the moon together.

……

At night, the moon rises.

The fifteenth moon is big and round.

After everyone had finished eating, Xiao Fuyuan lit up the palace lantern that Ah Zhen had given her.

Then everyone sat in the yard to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes.

The moonlight is beautiful, and the brilliance fills the world.

I don't know what happened to the people in the capital?

Ah Zhen looked up at the big and round moon, her nose felt a little sour.

Suddenly a pair of warm hands grabbed him, Ah Zhen turned his head, Xiao Fuyuan handed him a piece of mooncake, and said to him, "Brother Ah Zhen, you have to be happy."
