As the moon gets rounder at night, the Mid-Autumn Festival finally arrives.

Early in the morning, Ye Xunqing began to prepare the dishes for today with his younger brothers and sisters. Chicken, duck, fish and meat were definitely indispensable. For this purpose, Ye Xunqing also asked Feng Jingheng to go to the river to catch fish.

People have things to do during the day, so festivals are usually celebrated at night.

Ye Xunqing wanted to ask Yu Bo and Third Granny to come and celebrate the festival together in the evening. Yu Bo agreed, but Third Granny did not agree. She said that during the festival, she should stay next to the shrine.

Ye Xunqing respected her choice and asked Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai to bring her food.

Third Grandma gave back some gifts, all of which were medicinal herbs that could be used to make medicinal food. The quality was much better than what Ye Xunqing and the others dried themselves.

Ye Xunqing prepared some medicinal food and gave it to the elderly people in the evening. His grandmother would also come today, so he had to show his filial piety to her.

"Brother Qing..."

Ye Xunqing was making grilled meat patties when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She turned sideways to take a look and saw that it was Xiaomi.

"Xiaomi baby, why are you here?" Ye Xunqing's tone became much gentler.

"Dad said that the mooncakes made by Brother Qing are delicious, so he asked my brother and I to bring some food to Brother Qing." Xiaomi said with a smile.

Da Mi picked up the basket, and it was indeed a basket of green leafy vegetables.

Ye Xunqing gave some mooncakes to Xiaomi and Dami last night, mainly for Xiaomi.

Liu Laiyan knew how to reciprocate, but she couldn't afford expensive things, so she simply picked some fresh vegetables and asked the children to bring them over.

"Thank you, Xiaomi and Mi." Ye Xunqing squatted down and talked to them. "Brother made some grilled meat patties. You can stay and eat them later."

But today, the brother and sister did not stay. Da Mi said, "Thank you, brother, but Xiaomi and I have to go back to help Dad cook today."

Ye Xunqing praised: "Da Mi Xiao Mi is very good, he is a sensible and good child."

He asked both children to stay for a while, and when a batch of meat patties came out of the oven, he picked out the two largest ones for the children to take home and eat.

"Goodbye, Brother Qing." Xiaomi waved her little hands.

The more Ye Xunqing looked at it, the more he liked it. He asked Xiaobai to get some snacks for them to take back.

After sending away rice and millet, Ye Xunqing continued to roll meat patties, but he didn't expect that there was someone staring at him from behind.

"Humph, they are not your children, why are you so nice to them?" Feng Datong came to the simple kitchen at some point.

Ye Xunqing said without turning his head: "Is it not okay for me to see that they are happy?"

Feng Datong was very angry. "No matter how good you are to someone else's child, they won't be close to you. You should have your own child sooner rather than later."

"Yes?" Ye Xunqing asked with a smile: "If I ask someone for a child, will they give it to me?"

Feng Datong didn't mean that. "I mean, it's time for you and Er Xiaozi to have a child."

"Isn't that just stealing a child?" Ye Xunqing deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. "Don't do things like stealing a child. You'll be struck by lightning."

Feng Datong stamped his feet anxiously, "I mean, it's time for you to have a baby."

"If you want to have a child, then have one. Do you think you are the Goddess of Childbirth?" Ye Xunqing turned around and said, "Besides, Father, does this have anything to do with you? If you really want to take care of a child, then take Xiao Xu'er. If you don't think you can take care of a grandson, then you can work hard to have another son."

"You..." Feng Datong was so angry that his face turned red, and he raised his hand to hit Ye Xunqing.

Ye Xunqing really thinks that these people never learn their lesson. Is he someone who is easy to bully?

Ye Xunqing raised the sharp kitchen knife beside him and said, "Father, swords have no eyes. This knife of mine is new. It can not only cut vegetables, but also cut people's ears. Don't get hurt by mistake."

Feng Datong was not afraid of Ye Xunqing, he was mainly afraid of his stubborn son. That brat no longer recognized his relatives and valued his wife more than his own life.

Even if Feng Jingheng were here today, he wouldn’t dare to come and cause trouble for Ye Xunqing.

"I'm so angry!" Feng Datong put his hands behind his back and walked away angrily like a puffer fish.

"It's annoying." Ye Xunqing put down the knife and continued to roll the meat patties.

After a while, Mo Yuyan and Ye Xunbai came back. They were going to deliver something to Xie Lingyin. Fearing that they were not safe, Ye Xunqing asked Feng Jingan to go with them.

Xie Lingyin picked some fresh lotus pods for them and dug some tender lotus roots. Although it was not the season for eating lotus roots, the lotus roots were still edible.

Ye Xunqing looked at the tender lotus root and then at the chopped meat filling, and decided to make a temporary snack and make a lotus root box.

The sun gradually moved westward, and smoke rose from every household, but the smoke from Ye Xunqing's house had been rising all day.

It was almost time for dinner when the fisherman came over with two big grass carps. He had even changed into a relatively clean set of clothes to have dinner here today.

But when he arrived at the door, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to go in. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and every family is having a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner. What is he, an old widower, doing here?

After much thought, the fisherman decided to deliver the fish and go back without staying for dinner.

"Uncle Yu, you're here." Feng Jingheng and Feng Jinghua came back from outside and happened to meet Uncle Yu standing at the door watching.

The fisherman handed the fish to Feng Jingheng and said with a smile, "Heng boy, take this back. I... have something else to do at home, so I won't be coming to dinner. Please tell Xunqing."

"Aqing has cooked your favorite dishes, so go and try them." Feng Jingheng took Yu Bo to the yard.

With a half-pulled, half-dragged move, Uncle Yu walked in.

Ye Xunqing saw it and said, "You're here, why bring fish? Xiaoyan, come here and put the fish in the tank."

The fisherman gave the fish to Mo Yuyan and said, "Xunqing, your family should be reunited. I won't..."

"Uncle Yu, don't say anything to spoil the fun." Ye Xunqing said very seriously, "I cooked so many dishes, if you don't come to eat, then what's the point of me cooking?"

"This..." Uncle Yu looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes suddenly reddened, "Okay, okay, I'll eat it."

Including Yu Bo, there were seven people eating, but Ye Xunqing prepared two tables of dishes.

Feng Jingheng said, "Aqing, one table is enough for you. I'll move the other one back."

Ye Xunqing held him back and whispered, "You and Big Brother go and ask the two elders to come over for dinner. I've already called Xiao Jing and the others."

Feng Jingheng didn't want to go. "No, they will definitely say something unpleasant again."

He didn't like arguing during meals, so he was always the silent one when the family ate together.

"You are a generous man, Ah Heng." Ye Xunqing advised, "Uncle Yu is here, but the old couple are not here. People will gossip about you. Besides, my grandmother will be here soon. If your father and mother are not here, she will definitely blame me again."

"I'm not afraid of gossip." Feng Jingheng is an extremely stubborn person.

"Go ahead." Ye Xunqing said, "It's more fun with more people. Besides, they can't argue with me, so you don't have to worry about me getting hurt."

Ye Xunqing himself was not afraid of gossip, but he could not bear to hear anyone say that Feng Jingheng had forgotten his mother after getting a wife.

Besides, if Liu Xiaojing and the others were here, how could the two old people eat? It would be better to invite them all over, and it would also give them a good reputation.
