He exchanged the rest of the rice, so he could go back earlier.

"Okay, thank you very much." Gu Nan said with a smile, looking at the stall, but saw something else.

Some white rice noodles, some black sesame seeds, and even a few pieces of caramel which is rare.

"Hey, why did you bring so many things here this time?"

Gu Nan stood by the side of the stall and asked.

The shopkeeper smiled. He really didn't know anything about the customer in front of him except that he could speak fluent Chinese.

The other party's voice was a little low, and it sounded like a thin man.

"It's not been a year. After I finished this trip, I went home to be with the elderly at home. I won't run during this time, so I ran more this time."

"That's it." Gu Nan nodded, looked at the black sesame and suddenly remembered something and asked the shopkeeper.

"Speaking of which, what month is it now?"

"It's the thirteenth day of the first lunar month." The shopkeeper said with some emotion, probably thinking of his family members.

If it wasn't for the sake of living, he wouldn't be able to stay home for a year.

"It's the first month of the month..." Gu Nan seemed to have an idea, pointed at the things on the stall, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, you don't need two bags of rice. Give me one bag of rice, and give me some of the remaining three items. It's one bag of rice."

The price of white rice flour and black sesame is not much. Although the store is strange, they gave Gu Nan a small half bag, but the price of caramel candy is much more expensive. He only gave a small piece, which is already given to regular customers.

Putting on these, Gu Nan left with her things on her back. She was going to have something to eat at night. Speaking of which, she hadn't eaten this kind of food for a long time.

Since the evening, Duanmuqing saw Gu Nan busy in and out of the kitchen, and did not tell her what she was doing.

When he came out, there was still some white flour on his nose and hands from time to time, which looked a little funny.

Until nightfall, the clouds that were still shrouded in the daytime were gradually blown away by the north wind from the north, revealing the stars and the moon under the clouds.

The moonlight was bright and white, falling on the snow, making the white ground even more serene, with a little glimmer of light.

Without the cover of the clouds, the stars and the moon can be seen clearly, and they are no longer half-covered.

The starry sky at night is full of stars, a looming river of stars is in the sky, and the moon is in the sky. The moon is already very round today, and it is hard to tell whether the bright moon like a disk is more beautiful, or the incomplete crescent moon is more beautiful. Jiao.

But the night is beautiful tonight.

The hut always smells of herbs, and the light smoke from the kitchen rises leisurely.

Medicine was burning in front of Duanmuqing, and the flame in the stove was dancing. She looked up at the full moon in the sky.I didn't think about anything, I just looked at it in a daze.

"Miss Qing." A call came from the side.

Duanmuqing turned her head and saw Gu Nan coming out of the kitchen carrying two bowls.

"How about a taste?"

Looking at Gu Nan, Duanmuqing showed a slight smile, and the snow wasn't so cold anymore.

Chapter 267: The Full Moon

At night, I can't see the appearance of the distance clearly. The nearby ground is covered with white snow, and what can be seen in the distance are the stars and the moon gathered together.

Gu Nan sat upright beside Duanmuqing, the hot air from the bowl hit her face, making the cold face seem to have melted, bringing warmth.

"No." Gu Nan handed a bowl to Duanmu Qing.

"Thank you." Duanmuqing took the bowl with her head down, and looked at the things in the bowl.

There are some white balls in a bowl of white soup, and when touched with a spoon, they are soft and sticky, and one is scooped up gently.

The round shape of the ball lying in the spoon is also somewhat attractive, exuding a slight mist.

"What is this, what?"

Duanmuqing asked.

Gu Nan had already started to eat, and ate the glutinous rice balls in the spoon into his mouth in one gulp.

Although she doesn't know much about what to eat, she only needs to wrap it up and put some sugar in it, which is quite simple.

It is worth mentioning that the caramel was still a bit hard at this time, and the kitchen knife could not cut it open.

Bite the glutinous rice balls into the mouth, and the sesame paste inside flows out with the syrup in it, dripping in the mouth. The light sweetness accompanied by the slight heat makes people squint their eyes unconsciously.

Taking a deep breath, a mist condensed in the cold air and dispersed.

Hearing Duanmuqing's question, Gu Nan also remembered that although there was Lantern Festival in the Western Han Dynasty, there was no custom of eating glutinous rice balls, so he casually told a lie that was not a lie, and said with a light smile.

"This is called glutinous rice balls, which is a custom in my hometown. Every year during the Lantern Festival, family members come back to eat this together, which symbolizes reunion."

Gu Nan said, and continued to eat another one. She liked to eat these sweet things in her previous life.Every year during the Lantern Festival, although she has no family, she cooks some glutinous rice balls by herself.

"reunion?"

Duanmuqing knew about the Lantern Festival, which was a festival to worship Taiyi, but she didn't know that the Lantern Festival also meant reunion.

"That's right." Gu Nan raised his head and pointed in the direction of the moon: "Look, the moon is very round. In my hometown, every time around this time, no matter where the family is, the family will come back for reunion."

She said these words with a nostalgic smile on her face.

This was given to her by her teacher in the orphanage. She always believed in these words when she was young, so every year she would wait for the moon to turn round.

It's just that no one will come every year, and then she no longer believes in these nonsense.

For a while, she thought that the teacher lied to her, but later she realized that she didn't even have a home.Even if you want to go home, where can you go back?

Will all the family members come back? Duanmu Qing didn't know what to think of, and there was a slight smile on her face.

"Gu, Gu Nan, the customs in your hometown are very, very good."

"Why do you say that?" Gu Nan asked while eating glutinous rice balls.

Duanmuqing's tone was a little vague: "Dear, all relatives will come back, are you very happy?"

Gu Nan paused for a while before smiling and nodding.

"Yes, I should be very happy."

She pouted at the spoon in Duanmuqing's hand.
