Today is the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival festival. In addition to the small Spring Festival, I am afraid that only Mid-Autumn Festival is valued so much by the Chinese people. After all, it represents the day of family reunion.
I liked Mid-Autumn Festival because there were delicious foods. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the apples were ripe, I would buy more apples at home. There were grapes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was rare to eat one meal a year. Usually, my father would go to his neighbor's house to buy a live chicken, and then slaughter it himself and give it to his mother for braising. In addition to braised chicken, my mother always gathers a table of good dishes. When the whole family sits together, parents can drink some wine, we drink drinks, enjoy a gluttonous meal, and have a happy time.
Dinner is also rich, and there will be no leftovers at noon, so there are also some leftovers to satisfy your craving in the few days after Mid-Autumn Festival. After dinner, my mother would set up a table in the yard, wash the mooncakes, apples, pears, and grapes and put them on the table. But we cannot eat it yet. According to custom, we must first respect the moon and wait until the moon is eaten before we can serve it. The process after serving is also fixed. First, it is to eat reunion moon cakes. Every year, my mother would buy a large reunion cake. At this time, we cut four points with a knife, and each of our four-person family would be one piece. This program is very important. Even if I don’t like this five-nut mooncake , I still endured it to finish it for reunion. Then we can enjoy the fruit while enjoying the moon. My father will make a cup of tea at this time, and we just use brown sugar water . Drink our favorite brown sugar water drink and eat the Jufeng Grape that I have been greedy for a long time. The most important thing is to listen to my father telling the story of Chang'e .
I listen to the story of Chang'e flying to the moon every year, and listen to my father telling the story of Jade Rabbit pounding medicine . I have new discoveries and new feelings every year. Looking at the outline of the moon, my father said it as if he really saw Chang'e Jade Rabbit . Today I don’t know if I have the ability to tell my children the story of Chang’e Jade Rabbit clearly, but I want to pass on this sense of ritual. I regret that my father did not have the consciousness to pass on his inheritance when he was there, otherwise he could listen to his father and tell stories with his children. I miss his father. May my father be healthy, free of illness, happy, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival in heaven!
