September nights in the mountains were relatively cool, and a cold breeze was blowing through.
People in the village were reluctant to stay at home, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming again. The Guan’s Village had a lot of fun these past few nights. Wang Cheng was dragged by Mama Wang to walk around to a few aunts.
Mama Wang ranked second among her sisters, and had two younger sisters below her, both of whom were now married. They did not live in the Guan’s Village, but they were not far away. It was almost eleven after they walked around. The cool breeze had faded but the air conditioning was not needed at night.
Mama Wang asked him to go to bed earlier, and she and Papa Wang also went to bed.
Wang Cheng, as usual, brushed his teeth and washed his face at night. It was already half-past eleven when he laid down. He took out his phone and found that there two new messages, after opening it, from Chu Yifeng. The first one asked him if he was there. The second asked what he thought.
Wang Cheng drew up a corner of his mouth. Who was the one that said that it would take him two days to consider it? How long did it take? He didn't want to reply, thinking about it, and responded to the first question.
Chu Yifeng heard the sound of the new message, and when he opened it, saw just two words. His face showed a slight smile. Although one could not see it, they could feel that his features were a little softer.
On the opposite side, when Shen Yuan saw this scene, he didn't need to guess who it was. His expression immediately became mysterious, and he came over to inquire, "Is this message from Wang Cheng?"
Chu Yifeng glanced at him without answering.
"It is? You haven't solved him yet?" Shen Yuan had seen that his friend really had those kinds of thoughts toward Wang Cheng. He assumed that with his friend's character, he should soon be able to capture him, but never thought that a month would pass and the relationship between the two had not progressed.
Chu Yifeng leaned on the sofa and looked up at the beautifully decorated lights on the ceiling. His face was half-bright with the dim light and half-hidden in the darkness.
Shen Yuan stared at him for a long while, and there was a bad guess in his heart, "You ... are you serious about this?"
Hearing this sentence, Chu Yifeng finally responded, "Does everyone see love like you do, playboy?"
"Come on, this is not the first time you’ve met me. We are talking about you now. Don't try to change the subject. Your parents will not agree. Such a family will not allow you to be with a man." More than that, Shen Yuan did not believe that Chu Yifeng hadn’t thought of this.
"My parents have never been a problem."
"Well, how about your grandpa? He has a messy character. If he disagrees, it is very unlikely that you will reach your goal."
The head of the Chu family was a stern and inscrutable old man. He was also a big man who could shake the emperor with his lame feet. Many people were afraid of him. He didn’t think the old man would agree with his grandson being with a man.
Chu Yifeng lit a cigarette, and the expression on his face was clouded by the smoke. After a while, Shen Yuan could only hear what he truly said, "It's really a bit troublesome."
The wine in Shen Yuan's mouth almost spewed out. It was such a serious question. Should he be so casual, one couldn't help but doubt his judgment. Did he guess wrong?
The next day, the villagers got up to work before the chickens crowed.
There was a custom of worship in the Guan’s Village. Many households had already set up worship services in front of their homes and lit candles. One could see villagers burning paper money every few steps.
They were worshipping in Wang Cheng’s house. The winds were a bit strong, and paper ash flew everywhere. When Wang Cheng came out, he saw that Mama Wang was packing things for worship. There was a stupid pig running under the table. Wang Cheng first put paper ash on the ground. The ash was swept away, and then the struggling stupid pig was caught and locked in the chicken shed. It was a pig but he liked to eat moon cakes made by Mama Wang. Was it a real pig?
The festive celebrations of mid-autumn made the Guan’s Village lively. Neighbors would smile and greet him when they saw him. Some people would also remark, "Wang Cheng is back for the holidays", "When will you go back to work?" and so on. When asked about work, Wang Cheng didn’t know how to answer.
Wang Cheng simply hid at home and did not go out. News spread quickly in such a place as the countryside. Even though the Wang’s Village was gone now, as long as someone wanted to know where others were, it is definitely impossible to hide, so now most people wanted to contact their neighbors. The relationship between their families was good. As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, more relatives and neighbors would come out.
In the room, Wang Cheng heard the sound of his mom talking to a group of three aunts and six wives, discussing a lot of things, and then talking about their marriage.
This incident could also be considered one of the concerns of Mama Wang.
The eldest son's emotional experience was rich, but he encountered bad luck in dating. Although he never said it, Mama Wang felt it, so whenever the eldest son came back, she hesitated and didn't mention it.
When the second son was handed over to the old monk to be raised, the couple had no stands to worry about these things. At that time, they did not dare to think about it. When the son became a monk, they could not persuade him to return to the village, let alone give him a girlfriend. Now that he was back, Mama Wang thought that the second son was just fine. Others did not dare to ask about his love life. Until a few days ago, when the girl named Wei Dandan called the second son, Mama Wang had this aspect of thought.
"Guan Lanfang (Mama Wang), I don’t say! Your two sons are so good, why haven't they turned in a girlfriend? My tiger is as big as your family's Wang Cheng. Now he is married and their children are pregnant. Come on. "
Guan Sanye next door sighed, but any person with eyes knew that she was very proud, and she could only find a balance in this kind of thing. It was because the three children of the Wang family were too good, and others were jealous. They could hardly compare.
Mama Wang said, "Their condition is good and they can see well for themselves. I, as a mother, don't want to force them to marry a wife that they don't like. It's better to be unmarried than to live a bad life."
This was a matter of reason, but Guan Sanye had a feeling of being beaten because her family’s tiger was married first and she thought it was a good deal. As a result, the family couldn’t get out of the situation and until yesterday, could still hear the sound of Hu Zi arguing with his wife.
It was impossible to make a fuss about Mama Wang regarding this.
After the group of three aunts and six wives left, Wang Cheng came out and was frightened by his mother's ugly face. If it wasn't for the bad sound insulation at home, he wouldn’t know what happened in advance. He’s afraid he wouldn’t have realized what Mama Wang had been wronged for, which would be regretful.
Although Mama Wang said that she could not force her two sons, which parents did not want to hug her grandchild as soon as possible? The two sons did not even have a girlfriend, so they had to wait.
"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Wang Cheng knew the reason but pretended not to have heard anything.
"Do you really have nothing to do with that Wei Dandan? Don’t you usually talk on the phone? You haven't seen each other for so long. You should talk more." Mama Wang was still very concerned about the words of San San.
Wang Cheng was persuaded by her. "Mom, I really have nothing to do with her, we’re just ordinary friends. We have nothing in common. Where can I get this relationship?"
"Then you take the initiative, you are a man, do you want other girls to take the initiative!" Mama Wang has a feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel.
"Mom, I don't really think about Wei Dandan that way." Wang Cheng didn't want to take the initiative. If he liked Wei Dandan, he would have liked her already.
"Forget it, your mom doesn't care about it." Mama Wang finally had to give up when she heard this.
Wang Cheng wanted to hear this sentence.
"Go in a while to my uncle's house. Tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although we have nothing to do with your uncle, your grandparents are there, so you must always show some filial piety as a child in order to avoid being criticized.
"Would you like me to bring a box of moon cakes?" No one in the uncle's family would make moon cakes, even the aunt wouldn't. They usually bought a bunch of moon cakes for the employees of the company. The company must not be too stingy, although the uncle and aunt were indeed stingy.
"Take it, you can pick a box." Mama Wang didn't want to send the moon cakes she made, it would be ruined if she sent them.
Wang Cheng already had a plan.
Papa Wang took the stupid pig to go out, and his mother was not prepared to call him. He closed the door behind him. The mother and son left carrying a box of moon cakes. The house rented by the uncle was larger than theirs. They just made it seem like they would stay for a long time, but they knew the difficulties when they moved.
The uncle was not at home. It was said that he went out to send moon cakes. Only the aunt and grandparents were there.
Seeing them coming, Grandpa and Grandma didn't respond. Wang Cheng was already used to the extreme eccentricity of the two, but the maid was very enthusiastic, greeting them to sit in the house. In the eyes of Wang Cheng, it was almost like hiding a knife in a smile, but who knew what would happen this time?
"Ma'am, this is the moon cake that Cheng Cheng brought back. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I am giving a box of moon cakes to you and uncle, as well as the parents to try." Mama Wang motioned for Wang Cheng to pass the moon cakes.
Wang Cheng took out the moon cake for the aunt.
Seeing the moon cake in his hand, the aunt's expression changed a little, but he didn't wait for her to say anything. The old lady came out of the room, holding a box of moon cakes in her hand, and said: "No, we old people don’t usually eat moon cakes. Your aunt and I were still saying that I would give you a box of moon cakes. Since you are here, take them back together."
A comparison of the packaging could display the differences between the two boxes of moon cake.
Wang Cheng’s moon cakes were delivered by his own company. Chu Yifeng was a generous owner. His moon cakes customized by Gao Yongfu were much more expensive than the box sent by Wei Dandan, and the packaging was naturally more beautiful. The uncle's moon cakes were used to give to the employees, and they don't want to buy moon cakes that were too expensive. The moon cakes they usually bought were four in one box, and one box cost less than thirty yuan.
The aunt suddenly felt as if he was being beaten, and got hot. There was a crack in her demeanor.
