Chapter 242 Mid-Autumn Festival
The autumn is deep, the moon is bright, the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere, and it is Mid-Autumn Festival again in a blink of an eye.
This is Su Yan's third Mid-Autumn Festival since she married into the He family, and the most obvious difference from the previous two times is.
This time she had a deeper sense of belonging to the He family.
Therefore, all preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival were instructed by Grandmother He and handled by her alone.
From drawing up a shopping list, to cleaning the house, to deciding on the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet menu.
She sent holiday gifts to the relatives and friends of the He family on behalf of He's grandparents, and also sent gifts to her and He An's friends, etc.
Su Yan was so busy that he had no time to rest.
He An was even busier in the two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The supermarket's business unexpectedly hit a climax, and He An even felt a little regretful for letting Su Erlang go home early.
As a result, there is one person missing now and I am almost overwhelmed.
While Su Yan was busy at home, He An was busy in the store, and he was even busier than Su Yan.
I get up the earliest in the morning, go to the store to greet the deliverymen, and then work with others to deliver the goods to the warehouse.
During the day, he settles everyone's bills because he is too busy to handle it alone.
Su Yan was busy with household matters, and he was also planning to hire a temporary accountant.
Unexpectedly, Dao Er volunteered and came first.
In his words, "I'm idle anyway, so you pay me daily, whatever you can earn, we can have a good holiday with the money."
Perhaps due to years of collecting debts and protection fees, Dao Er has become very good at calculating.
The abacus beads rang crisply as he moved them, and the team moved forward quickly.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, Jixiang Supermarket safely passed its first holiday since its opening.
The day before Mid-Autumn Festival, just before closing.
Su Yan came over with a few maids carrying food boxes.
When they arrived at the place, she asked the maid to wait at the back while she went to the front to help for a while.
After seeing off the last guest, she called out the maid.
Give mooncakes to everyone.
Three pieces per person, with three kinds of fillings, is probably enough for these people to eat on their own.
He then took out a small cloth bag, filled it with two kilograms of grain, and went to the snack bar over there to take some unsold food.
Anyway, just install whatever you have, no matter what it is.
There were about a dozen cloth bags filled with this, and each bag was equipped with a few bundles of vegetables.
I will send them to everyone as a token of sympathy for their hard work over the past few days.
No one expected this to exist. They held cloth bags in their left hands and vegetables in their right hands, and were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
They surrounded Su Yan and He An and thanked them repeatedly, and Su Yan and He An exchanged some encouraging words with everyone.
Dao Er, who had only been there for a few days, took his portion of food, looked in surprise at the two people in front of him who were laughing and joking with everyone, and then laughed.
He didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched Su Yan and He An greet everyone.
Then he left with his brothers.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Yan and He An did not open the supermarket.
The importance that ancient people attached to festivals is something that modern people can never imagine.
In addition to festivals like the Lantern Festival and the Chinese Valentine's Day, which are similar to lantern festivals, everyone will go out shopping.
Most people choose to spend holidays like the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival with their families.
If I am in a foreign country, I will meet with a few good friends at a restaurant.
Therefore, during these festivals, restaurants, food shops and some food-related businesses, such as dim sum shops, may be open.
Some shops like cloth shops, grocery stores, etc. will basically not be open.
For a place like Jixiang Supermarket, which now mainly sells fruits, vegetables, grains and snacks, it would not make much sense to be open on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because everyone has prepared everything they need to buy before Mid-Autumn Festival.
Few people buy it on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
So Su Yan and He An discussed and decided to simply close the store for a day to let everyone have a good holiday.
They, too, were concentrating on celebrating the festival.
Ho's
Uncle He, Third Uncle He, and Fourth Uncle He gathered together again, along with their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Wu Yangyang is also a group of people, and now they are worshiping the ancestors of He’s grandfather in the He’s Buddhist temple.
When worshiping the ancestors, He An followed the same steps as everyone else and just followed his grandfather He’s steps.
However, He An did one more thing than others, which was to burn incense to He Yi, his current father.
The last time I burned incense was when the Dragon Boat Festival was renamed.
This time, when He An burned incense again, it didn't feel so awkward when he called He Yi "dad".
He shouted out happily.
Behind her, Su Yan Dudu also burned incense and kowtowed quickly. Of course, the one who got Dudu was Su Yan's guide.
But their attitude was natural, but He An's biological parents were not.
Today, Uncle He stands aside, watching his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter kneeling on the ground one by one, calling others dad (grandfather).
Then, burn incense to dad (grandfather).
......
He. My biological father (my biological grandfather). My third uncle’s lips twitched slightly and his expression was strange.
He tried hard to control his expression, a little afraid to look at the expressions of his eldest brother and fourth brother.
Every second at this time was a great torture for him.
If he didn't have something to ask of someone, he really wouldn't want to stand here and suffer.
Regardless of whether Uncle He was willing or not, he watched the entire process with his own eyes.
Then he went to the banquet with He's grandparents in a huff.
The banquet was prepared by Su Yan, who also contributed several recipes.
Although Uncle He had something on his mind and felt he couldn't eat much, he was still tempted and ate a lot.
When the banquet was over, he held his belly and looked around for He An.
After finding him, she chased after him, holding her big belly, and called out to He An.
"Third Uncle." He An looked at the person who stopped in front of him and called out in a distant tone.
Uncle He: "...I am your father!"
"My father is lying in the ancestral grave now. Uncle San, please don't say such things in the future."
Uncle He originally wanted to talk to He An, but now he was so angry at He An's two words that he felt dizzy.
She even forgot why she came to see him and was only interested in correcting her position in his heart.
But before he could say anything else, He An was called away by Su Yan from a distance, saying that He's grandfather was looking for him.
Uncle He was left alone there, with a thousand words stuck in his heart, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down.
Su Yan asked in a low voice as she walked: "What's wrong?"
He An shook his head. "Nothing. Go talk to grandma. I'll go find grandpa. Today is a holiday. Be happy and don't think too much."
Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Su Yan did not force him and just said, "I know."
I went to Grandmother He's house and accompanied Grandmother He, Aunt He, Fourth Aunt He and other female relatives to drink tea, eat mooncakes and appreciate the moon.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the supermarket business became slow, but that’s not to say that there were no people.
But compared to the days before the festival, there are obviously fewer people.
As a result, He An is not so busy and can go home on time every day.
Then, for the third time, I saw Uncle He, who had been waiting for me for a long time, in an alley on my way home.
He An turned around and left without hesitation, completely ignoring the calls of Uncle He San from behind.
