Chen Xi returned home carrying mooncakes.
The little girl was still sitting on the sofa obediently watching cartoons, and from time to time he would be amused by the plots in the cartoons.
Big Cat also likes watching cartoons recently.
This guy is very clever, but he probably hasn't seen much of the world because he has been in the mountains for a long time. So when the little girl is watching cartoons, he usually doesn't run around, but just lies next to him and follows him. Guys watch together.
When the big cat sees something happy, it will rub its body against the little one.
It looks more and more like a cat...
When Chen Xi came back, the gift bag in his hand immediately attracted the little girl's attention.
He didn’t even watch cartoons, he jumped off the sofa and ran over.
"Daddy, what did you buy?"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the gift bag.
When Chen Xi saw this, he handed her the gift bag on the left.
This gift bag is not heavy, but it is a bit big, similar to a medium-sized Nike bag.
She carried the gift bag back to the sofa with both hands. After throwing the gift bag on the sofa with some difficulty, she climbed onto the sofa, knelt, and opened the gift bag.
After opening it, she took out a box from inside.
The box is very beautiful, with some cartoon characters’ faces printed on it, and it looks very delicate.
The little girl was attracted immediately and couldn't wait to open the box.
There were twelve mooncakes printed with various animal patterns.
These mooncakes are not big, smaller than ordinary mooncakes, and come in different colors, all of which are warm colors. Just looking at them makes people feel like they are appetizing.
After Chen Xi put down the other bag, he also came to sit next to the little girl.
"Hey, the twelve zodiac signs, do you recognize the animals on them?"
"Recognize it! This is a horse, this is a monkey, this is a pig, this is a rabbit!"
The little girl stretched out his little hand clicked on the top of each moon cake, and then announced their surprise. She stopped and then took the goose-yellow moon cake in her hand.
"This is a dragon! I'm a dragon! It's mine!" The little girl held up the moon cake and giggled.
After saying that, the little girl was not polite and took a bite directly on it.
She chewed twice, but before she could swallow the food, she puffed her mouth and handed the remaining half of the mooncake to Chen Xi's mouth. Then she murmured: "Daddy, this is delicious, so do you." eat!"
Seeing this, Chen Xi took a bite.
"Yeah, not bad, it tastes like cantaloupe."
This mooncake is not a traditional mooncake. The outer shell is somewhat crispy. When you bite it, it will emit a milky aroma. If you put it in your mouth and taste it carefully, you can taste the sweet cantaloupe flavor.
Its filling is like glutinous rice, soft but not sticky to the teeth. It also contains something similar to coconut fruit, which is very delicious.
If you want to talk about it, this thing cannot be regarded as a mooncake at all, but a dessert.
In Chen Xi's memory, mooncakes should be made of egg yolk, bean paste, five kernels, and lotus paste. Although they are not as delicious as the one in his mouth, they have a more traditional taste.
Maybe it was because the mooncakes were so delicious, that the little girl ate three pieces in a row and then collapsed on the sofa.
When Chen Xi saw her like this, he knew that there was no need to make lunch today.
When you are full, you will naturally start to feel sleepy.
The little girl watched the cartoon for a while and fell asleep unconsciously.
Chen Xi was afraid of waking her up, so he didn't take her back to the bedroom, but gently covered her with a cool quilt.
But just when Chen Xi covered the little girl with a quilt, his cell phone rang suddenly. Chen Xi was startled and he answered the call as fast as lightning.
The call was from Lin Xuan.
After Chen Xi ran to the bedroom, he said to the phone: "Hello?"
"It's me, Lin Xuan."
"I know, what's the matter?"
"Well...it's nothing. I just wanted to ask, do you have any plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Her voice sounded hesitant, slow but with a rare softness.
Chen Xi thought about it for a moment, but pretended to reply casually: "It's nothing, it's just that she played too much a few days ago, so I'm going to give her extra lessons at home these two days to let her adjust, otherwise she will go to school I had to cry for a long time again."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Immediately afterward, Lin Xuan's voice became a little lighter.
"Oh, it's okay. I originally wanted to ask you to go on an outing...it seems that's not possible. Then I'll ask someone else. That's it. Happy holidays."
"Happy holidays."
……
After dinner.
The little one watched cartoons for a while. When the moon rose, Chen Xi took her to the yard again.
Children should not watch too much TV, so taking them out to enjoy the moon is also a good choice.
So, the father and daughter sat on the swing and admired the moon as they did yesterday.
Perhaps because she was in a good mood today, the little one was chewing mooncakes and yelling for Chen Xi to tell her a story.
Seeing this, Chen Xi told her the story of Chang'e flying to the moon.
There are many kinds of stories about Chang'e.
But the most widely circulated one is that Chang'e was forced to swallow medicine, ascended to become immortal, and was trapped in the moon palace.
Legend has it that after Hou Yi shot down the sun, the Queen Mother of the West gave him an elixir of immortality.
Hou Yi gave the elixir to Chang'e for safekeeping. One day, Hou Yi's disciple Peng Meng took advantage of Hou Yi's absence and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir.
Chang'e refused, and Pengmeng threatened her life. In desperation, Chang'e had to swallow the elixir.
The elixir of death was a fairy medicine, so Chang'e immediately transformed into a fairy, floated off the ground, and flew toward the sky.
Because this medicine was originally given to Hou Yi by the Queen Mother of the West, although Chang'e became an immortal because of taking the elixir, she could not be ranked among the immortals because of it, so she could only stay in the cold moon palace alone, and never had any contact with Hou Yi again. The day we met.
The little girl is not very old, but he seems to understand the pain of lovesickness between men and women.
After listening to Chen Xi’s story, her whole little face wrinkled up, and she kept muttering that sister Chang’e was so pitiful...
When Chen Xi saw this, he could only gently rub her little head.
There is another version of the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon.
That is the version of Chang'e abandoning her husband and swallowing it all.
Because Chang'e didn't know that this medicine was only effective if Hou Yi took it, after swallowing it, she found that she was trapped in the Moon Palace forever and could not go back.
This is also a punishment from the Queen Mother of the West for her selfishness.
Of course, this version is a bit dark, so Chen Xi doesn’t even think about telling it to the little girl.
The father and daughter swayed on the swing and admired the moon.
At the same time.
The distance.
In the small courtyard.
The woman in white walked out of the pavilion and looked up at the full moon in the sky.
Her long white dress shone like white jade against the bright moonlight.
The moonlight is like water, but also chilly to the bones.
Who knows Chang'e's suffering?
……
Ten rounds of frost shadows turn around the courtyard, and this evening, people are alone in the corner.
It may not be that Su'e has no regrets. The jade toad is cold and the sweet-scented osmanthus is lonely.
