Mid-Autumn Festival is as highly regarded among the people as New Year's Eve.

This day is a day of family reunion.

People with conditions will hang red lanterns outside the door.

People who have no conditions will not be stingy with the oil money for lighting the lamps on such a special day.

After nightfall, the lights of Wanjia lights up one after another, like bright pearls floating in the dark night.

Yang Mei arranged for dinner early.

The whole family gathered in the main room, and even Chen Hehua, who was in confinement, was called by Yang Mei to the table together.

Eating a sumptuous dinner, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm and harmonious.

Ma Shuming is not used to it, but the feeling of being in it at this moment is really not bad.

He quietly observed everyone in the family, not only the mother, but even the eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and younger sister, and the two nephews and nieces in the family have more or less changed.

Ma Shuming thought it was amazing.

Sensing the gaze of the scholar's son, Yang Mei raised a characteristic auntie smile on her face, and put a piece of braised pig's trotter into Ma Shuming's bowl.

"Today's braised pig's trotters are delicious.

Shu Ming, your mother can't take care of you in the academy, so when you get home, eat more! "

There was a smile in Uncle Ma's bright eyes, "Thank you, mother!"

Ma Jili felt that he was being ignored, so he held a bowl and yelled, "Mom, I'm working in the town, and I can't eat the food you cook, why don't you give me something?"

Yang Mei found it funny to see her youngest son fighting for favor.

"Aren't you ashamed to fight for favor at such a grown-up age?"

That's what he said, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't stop, he picked the biggest one and put it into the Ma Jili bowl.

Like a naive ghost, Ma Jili raised his eyebrows at the third brother, with a look of complacency that "mother really loves me the most".

Ma Shuming didn't bother to pay attention to his younger brother.

"Mother, I've thought about the name you asked me to choose.

The big one is called Ma Jiwen, and the little one is called Ma Jiwu. What do you think? "Ma Shuming raised his mouth casually.

Yang Mei put down her chopsticks, and murmured: "Jiwen, Jiwu, they're pretty good, and they sound good when you read them with their surnames, and they're catchy."

After finishing speaking, Yang Mei smiled openly and said to Dabao and Xiaobao who were lowering their heads to pick up the rice: "Did you hear that? Your third uncle has given you a name.

Dabao, your name is Ma Jiwen, and Xiaobao's name is Ma Jiwu, remember? "

Dabao and Xiaobao didn't know the meaning of their names, but they knew very well that Uncle San was the most powerful person in the family.

Father said before that their names should be handed over to the third uncle, saying that the third uncle is well educated and educated, and the names chosen are more pleasant.

They looked left and right, and now that they finally had a big name, the two brothers cheered with joy.

After Ma Zhongxing and Liu Chuncao whispered to each other, they also felt that Dabao and Xiaobao got a good name and were very happy.

Ma Bowang and Chen Hehua are very envious of the second room.

They didn't dare to expect that their three daughters could also get such an honor.

Seeing Dani and Erni look envious, Chen Hehua felt sour.

Just as she was about to say a few words to appease her daughter, she heard Ma Shuming say again: "I also took the three sisters, Da Ni.

The big girl's name is Qiong Yao, the second girl's name is Lin Lang, and Jin Bao, let's call it Jin Yu. "

Worried that some children would not know how to write their names, Ma Shuming thoughtfully cut out their names and sent them to them one by one.

Dani and Erni were overwhelmed with excitement.

The two sisters held each other's hands, and couldn't believe that the third uncle also named them.

"Father, mother, we also have a name!" Dani was so happy that she wanted to shed tears.

She never dared to think that she could be named by a scholar like Third Uncle, let alone a beautiful name like 'Qiong Yao'.

Erni took the piece of paper with her name on it and showed it to her family with a smile.

Yang Mei thought she had heard it wrong just now, but when she saw that Dani's name was 'Qiong Yao', she almost bit her tongue.

It's a play, forgive her for thinking of the Queen of Romance in Baodao when she sees this name...

"Mother, are you alright?" Ma Youwei noticed something strange and hurriedly asked Yang Mei.

Yang Mei endured the pain and shook her head, forced out a smile and said, "Shu Ming chose the name carefully.

You guys should thank you third uncle. "

Ma Shuming gave Dabao and Xiaobao the following Wenjiwu, which is to hope that the two brothers can achieve success in civil and military affairs in the future.

For Dani, Erni and Jinbao, the three sisters all use words related to jade. Jade symbolizes beauty and dignity, and the meanings are very good.

Not to mention Dani and Erni, Jin Bao's name is a favorite of Yang Mei's.

Big Treasure, Little Treasure, Dani and Erni happily thanked Ma Shuming.

The children were a little afraid of the third uncle before.

Tonight, maybe the third uncle gave them nice names, and it was rare to see the third uncle showing a bright smile, so they dared to get close to Ma Shuming.

Ma Shuming was not used to it. When Dabao and Xiaobao took the initiative to stick to him, he wanted to push the child away for a moment.

But Niang looked at it with a smile, Ma Shuming could only straighten his back stiffly, and deal with the children patiently.

After dinner, Yang Mei left the bowls and chopsticks to Liu Chuncao and Ma Youwei to clean up.

She set up a small table in the yard by herself, took out the tea leaves that Song Xiaodao had sent today, and went into the kitchen to boil water for tea.

Dabao, Xiaobao, Dani Erni and the others took the rabbit lantern that Ma Youwei had made, and went to play with the little friends in the village.

Ma Jili is also like a child who hasn't grown up, making trouble with his two nephews and nieces.

A younger brother looked at the children, and Ma Zhongxing felt free, so he went out for a walk with his hands behind his back and came back, cheerfully saying to Yang Mei:

"Mother, the pagoda is going to be burned by the river tonight, do you want to go and have a look together later?"

Burning towers on Mid-Autumn Festival has been popular in Shanshui Village for many years, and the original owner also has related pictures in his memory.

The height of the tower ranges from 1 to 3 meters, and it is mostly made of stones, with a tower opening at the top for fuel injection.

In the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, fires are ignited, and the fuels include wood, bamboo, rice husks, etc. When the fire is hot, incense powder or salt is sprinkled to ignite the flames, which is very spectacular.

The whole family can't afford all the fuel, but Shanshui Village has a large population, so it's no problem for each family to contribute a little.

Rural people don't have any recreational activities at night, and soon after they usually have dinner, they turn off the lights and go to bed early.

It is rare to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are such sights as burning towers to see, so naturally, all the bees are swarming to join in the fun.

Yang Mei drank a cup of tea with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, then go and watch the excitement.

You brothers go first, and mother will wait for Youwei to pack up later. "

As soon as the words fell, the voice of Ma Qingkun, the son of the village chief, came from outside the courtyard: "Shuming, the tower is going to be burned in Shuming village, my father asked me to call you to light the first fire!"
