Mid autumn

Everyone has seen the moon, and the Mid-Autumn moon is more round and more intimate, like a cute little doll.

After watching CCTV news broadcast, the whole family went out to enjoy the moon. How bright the moon is tonight! The public square is cheering. The round, round moon's face is like my cute little sister. The moon saw a lot of people watching her, shyly hiding the body behind the cloud mother like a little doll. Yunmu saw it and said, "Don't be shy, let's go out and play, there are a lot of children watching you waiting for you." The moon doll repeatedly persuaded through the mother of Yun, and finally came out from behind the cloud mother little by little. Head, showing a happy smile, so innocent, so cute. We cheered again! Who knows, in our cheers, the moon doll is shy again, half of the face is exposed, half of the face is hidden behind the cloud mother.

I am anxiously looking forward, looking forward to hope... After a long, long time, it is already 10:30 in the middle of the night, the strange thing is that the moon is still as shy as a doll, hiding behind the cloud mother refused to come out!

After a while, the breeze blew, and Yun’s mother moved northward and moved. Finally, the moon doll looked at us bravely, completely revealing her chubby, round, smiling face. The moon doll walks in the deep blue and dark blue night sky, bringing light, hustle and joy to the people who appreciate the moon...

In the autumn, the tender season, the leaves are accidentally dropped; in August, the thick months, the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance has a happy atmosphere. Mid-Autumn in August, dotted with the long, lifeless autumn, makes autumn more attractive. Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, make a pot of good tea, chat with friends and family in a happy atmosphere, this is the most beautiful time of the hometown August Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the year is always around the National Day. This cola broke our children, because the school usually does not have a special holiday on Saturdays and Sundays, so we can play as much as we can. The adults are also very happy because they can have a good reunion with their families. Therefore, the atmosphere is unknowingly harmonized. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, people began to be busy, buying clothes for children, preparing for the sacrifice of their ancestors, buying moon cakes, firecrackers for the moon, and so on. In the hometown, people will not buy hard-wearing moon cakes, usually in some nearby bakeries to buy moon cakes made by their own people, not beautifully decorated, but affordable, 2 yuan a piece, there are eggs inside. But although it is very cheap, this is a luxury in the poor land of the hometown. I like this moon cake most when I am young. The golden temptation often makes me ask my mother to cut it for me. As a result, the throat was hoarse the next day, so I could not eat it. But often I can't help but steal, or yell at the pain, to deceive my father's throat, and then I learned in a conversation that my mother knew that my throat was still painful, but still gave me food. It is. I want to come now, I feel very funny. When I was eating, I often quarreled with my sister for the size of the egg. In the end, I was usually beaten by my parents. When eating moon cakes, there is no knife or fork, and there is no slow chewing like a gentleman. This kind of eating method will be treated as an alternative in the village - this kid has installed Sven for me! Usually we are all gorging, and what kind of grace is unconstrained, there is something to eat, and it is much more beautiful to eat. Finally, swallowing, shaking my throat with my hand, then my mother will give me tea, let me slowly quench my thirst, and patted my back and said: Urgent! Does the family let you eat poor? Now I want to come, probably the desire for mooncakes at that time! After all, there are very few in normal life. Now I moved into the city and dressed up as a Sven. I felt that I couldn’t live with my fellow villagers. When I went back and forth to my hometown, I found that everyone was affected by the “civilization of the times” and would not blame myself.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the excitement accumulated in the hometown in the past few days broke out. In the early days, the children were dressed in new clothes running around the street, and the breakfast did not eat much, because at noon they had to sacrifice their ancestors, so they kept their stomachs to "eat a big meal." In fact, it is not a big meal with us now, but it is not the same for those children. Parents will not take care of you on this day. You just have to play, tired and go home to have something to eat, this is very good. It is not so good in peacetime. After the sacrifice of the ancestors, the "ancestor furnace" was removed, and then began to eat the sacrifices, meaning that the ancestors wanted to eat, the family to eat again, showing respect for the ancestors. After eating, the adults are still cleaning up the tableware, the child has already slept in the bed, because in the evening to stay up late to enjoy the moon, it is obvious that the moon is very important in the child's heart. When adults gather their dishes, they will go to prepare for the moon and the moon, and finally they will sleep with the children and wait for the beautiful night. At about 7:30 in the evening, people set up their own tables on the street, then put moon cakes and some food on the table and began to worship the moon. The whole street is very lively, and adults and children are very happy. At this time, we will go to other places in the village to see, or go to firecrackers. Our village is very large, with more than 10,000 people. Several of our partners will visit the whole village at this time and go to firecrackers. On the road, someone encountered a mischief throwing firecrackers at us, and we will throw them back. But this is rare. We usually go to a mound behind the village. When the young men and women are hugging, they put a firecracker next to them. When they scream, the woman is scared and rushes over to the boy. Shyly cuddling, then whispered back: stinky boy! We will sneak a smile. But it is not always a "matchmaker". Sometimes we scare them when they are hugging. The result is chased, but it still feels very fun. When I was shopping, I saw other people’s moon cakes on the outside table. I felt very delicious. I couldn’t help but point a little. At this time, my sisters in the same village called us small, not shameful, and wanted to come, they must be laughed at by others. Lost a lot of big teeth. When I came back from the shopping, just finished, I started to eat and eat, fruit, moon cakes, drinks, eat wildly, eat wildly, no one blames us anyway. In the yard, the adults took out the tea set, began to brew tea, and placed moon cakes on the table to enjoy with the children. The children ate moon cakes, running happily in the yard, playing games, drinking tea and eating moon cakes when they were tired. The adults talked about the land, talked about the family, and the atmosphere was very good. It’s late, some children have fallen asleep in the mother’s arms, and children who have not slept have the opportunity to eat delicious noodles...

Finally, in the extinction of the old lamp, it gradually calmed down, and the village was decorated with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
