After watching the CCTV news broadcast, the whole family walked out of the house to enjoy the moon. The moon is so bright tonight! The civic square is a cheer. The face of the round, round moon looks like my cute little sister. The moon saw a lot of people looking at her and shyly hid her body slowly behind the cloud mother like a little doll. The cloud mom saw it and said, "Don't be shy, go out and play a little, there are many children looking at you waiting for you." The moon doll, after repeated persuasion by the cloud mother, finally peeked out from behind the cloud mother little by little, revealing a joyful smiling face, so innocent, so lovely. We cheered again! Who knows, in the midst of our cheers, the moon doll was shy again, half of its face revealed, half of its face again hidden behind the cloud mother.
I anxiously looked at ah, looking forward to ah hope ...... after a long, long time, it is late at night 10:30, the strange thing is that the moon is still as shy as a doll, hiding in the clouds behind the mother refused to come out it!
After a while, the breeze blew, the cloud mother moved to the north body. Finally, the moon doll bravely looked at us, fully revealing her chubby, round, smiling face. Moon doll walks in the deep blue deep blue night sky, to the people who enjoy the moon brings light, longing, joy ......
Autumn, tender season, the leaves accidentally fall; August, a thick month, osmanthus fragrance floating in the atmosphere of joy. August mid-autumn, embellished the whole long and lifeless autumn, make the autumn more charming. Under the osmanthus tree, make a pot of tea, in the joyful atmosphere and friends and family to chat with no fear, this is the hometown of August mid-autumn the most beautiful time.
The year's Mid-Autumn Festival is always around the National Day, which can be happy for us children, because the school usually on Saturday and Sunday can not be, and then come to a special holiday, so we can play to our hearts' content. Adults are also happy because they can have a good reunion with their families. So, the atmosphere was melting without realizing it. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, people start to be busy, buying clothes for children, preparing for ancestor worship, buying mooncakes, firecrackers, and so on and so forth. In my hometown, people don't buy hardcover mooncakes, they usually buy mooncakes made by their own townspeople in some neighborhood bakeries, which are not decorated beautifully, but are affordable, at 1 yuan a piece, with eggs inside. But even though it was cheap, in the poor land of my hometown, it was considered a luxury. When I was a kid, I loved these mooncakes so much that I used to plead with my mom to cut them for me, because of their golden color. As a result, my throat was hoarse the next day, so I couldn't eat it. But often can not help but go to steal food, or bear the pain and shout, in order to deceive mom and dad throat does not hurt, and later in a conversation learned that my mother then is aware of my throat is still sore, but still give me to eat. Now that I think about it, I think it's funny. When I was eating it, I also used to argue with my sister over the size of the eggs, and usually ended up being beaten by mom and dad without any joy. When eating mooncakes, I didn't use a knife or fork, and I didn't chew slowly like a gentleman, so I would be treated as a different person in the village - this kid is pretending to be civilized for me! Usually we are swallowing, no matter what the manners, have to eat, eat more on the scenery. Finally, swallowed, with a hand over the throat scared turn, then mom will give me tea, let me slowly quench my thirst, but also patted me on the back and said: what's the hurry ah! The family has not let you eat poor. Now that I think about it, it was probably the desire for mooncakes at that time! After all, in ordinary life on rarely have. Now moved into the city, pretending to be civilized, feel sorry for the hometown, and then go back home to see, found that everyone is the same, are affected by the "civilization of the times", will not blame themselves.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the hometown in the first few days of the accumulated bustle to burst out. In the morning, children were running around in their new clothes, and they didn't eat much breakfast because they had to worship their ancestors at noon, so they saved their stomachs for the "big meal". In fact, for us now is not a big meal, but for those children is different, parents in this day will not care about you, you only care to play, play tired to go home to have something to eat, which is very good, in the usual is not so good. After the ancestor worship will be "ancestor furnace" removed, and then began to eat the sacrificial things, meaning that the ancestors want to eat, the family then eat, to show respect for the ancestors. After eating, while the adults are still cleaning up the dishes, the children are already asleep in bed, because they have to stay up late at night to enjoy the moon, which is very important in their minds. After the adults clean up the chopsticks, they go to prepare for the moon worship and the moon viewing at night, and then they go to bed with the children to wait for the beautiful night. At about 7:30 pm, people set up their own tables on the street, put mooncakes and some food on the tables, and start to worship the moon. The whole street is very lively and adults and children are very happy. At this time, we would visit other places in the village or go to set off firecrackers. Our village was huge, with about 10,000 people, and a few of our buddies would take this time to wander around the whole village and casually go set off firecrackers. When we came across people on the way who threw firecrackers at us in a mischievous way, we would throw them back. But this is rare, we usually go to the back of the village on a mound, see young men and women in the embrace, next to a firecracker, "pop" sound, the female scared, to the boy jumped over, shyly snuggling, and then turned back to whisper: brats! We would snicker. But not always a "matchmaker", sometimes we would scare people when they hugged, and was chased away, but still think it's fun. When shopping, see other people's moon cakes on the table outside, think it's very delicious, can not help but point, this time in the same village sisters will be called back to us these small don't disgrace the conspicuous, think, must be others laughed off a lot of big teeth. After shopping back, just after the worship, began to eat, fruit ah, moon cake ah, drink ah, eat indiscriminately, crazy eat, anyway, no one blame us. In the yard, the adults brought out the tea set and started making Gongfu tea, and set the mooncakes on the table to enjoy with the children. The children ate the mooncakes and ran happily around the yard, playing games, drinking tea and eating mooncakes when they were tired. Adults just talked about the world, chatting about the family, the atmosphere was very good. It was late, some children had fallen asleep in their mothers' arms, and those who didn't were lucky enough to eat the delicious noodles ......
Finally, the countryside was glowing with mid-autumn decorations as the old lamps were extinguished ......
