Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon night. For Chinese people, the more important significance of Mid-Autumn Festival is reunion. No matter how far you are, home is always the direction. No matter how strong the longing is, there are always some people who can only send lovesickness to the bright moon.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the National Day anniversary. Against the backdrop of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the eight-day long holiday has given these two festivals more meanings. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the harvest season, and the National Day holiday, YMG All-Media reporters will record different Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Double Festivals in 2020.
small news client October 4th (YMG All Media Reporter Wang Hongyun) On the third day of the holiday, the old man Tan Fengzhi, who lives in Dongcun Street, Haiyang City, has been looking forward to his great-grandson whom he has not seen in nearly half a year. Time carved deep wrinkles on her face. Listening to the great-grandson shouting "Great Grandma", the 96-year-old man smiled happily like a child.
Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion day, for the elderly, the happiest thing is to reunite the family and children and grandchildren. When each family finishes their own reunion night, they will choose to gather together on this important festival to visit the elderly.
The old man's little daughter started preparing ingredients for dinner after lunch. "Our family can come to the evening and all the dishes we eat have to be washed in a basin." As the little daughter said, she quickly washed the cabbage she held in her hand and squeezed it dry and kept it in the pot. A large pot of crabs was put into the pool and seemed a little cramped, and they all "break through prison", so they became the targets for children to catch. "Run away, the youngest one ran the fastest", "Hurry up, the crab can't even hold my chopsticks." ... The children filled the house with laughter and laughed, and the old man sitting by the bed looked at it and listened, enjoying the joy of family. She said: "At this time, the children will come back no matter how far away they are. The grandchildren and great-grandchildren are back. I am happy to see it."
The sun sets, and the fragrance wafting out of the kitchen makes the children clamor and have a meal. The steaming meal was brought up, and everyone gathered at the dinner table, talking home-cooked and eating a reunion dinner that was not very expensive but had the taste of home. A pot of small seafood that I had never seen before attracted the attention of my grandson and pestered my grandmother to ask for the name. Adults and children smile happily, bringing them not only a sweet meal, but also the warmest holiday companionship.
The living conditions are better now, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing, the elderly still live a simple life. She took out a box of mooncakes, cut each mooncake into four small portions, and called the chirping children together. "One person has one piece, and it's still there after eating, so it can't be wasted." A group of children took away their own portion one by one, and said, "I know, I know." "I can't eat it anymore, a small piece is enough..." Then they scattered.
Osmanthus fragrance, the bright moon is full. What I sigh is that time is like a flying knife, and the knife makes people grow old; what I am happy is that there is a group of full sun at home, which is sweet and happy. The night became darker and colder, and bursts of laughter came from old man Tan Fengzhi's home from time to time, and it echoed for a long time and never dissipated.
