Zheng Jiawen stared at Mrs. Gui in front of him for a while. Although he was puzzled, it was his private matter after all, so it was inconvenient to ask further questions. Perhaps his husband was planning to do something outside.

Hou Shuyi bought moon cakes, and the group got into the car. When they arrived at the mansion, Hou Shuyi went to the kitchen to work.

However, the three children did not recognize their birth, and Zheng Nian was taken by Zheng Xiangtong to play in the room on the second floor.Zheng Jiawen couldn't sit still on the sofa on the first floor. It's impolite to come to someone's house without bringing a gift, and to eat ready-made food.After thinking about it, Zheng Jiawen got up and went to the kitchen.

Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hou Shuyi gave Yang Ma and Yinhua a vacation and asked them to go back to have a family reunion, so today only Hou Shuyi is busy in the kitchen.

"Mrs. Zheng, let me help you." Zheng Jiawen said with a guilty conscience. After all, she can only fry eggs, and of course she can also cut things.

Hou Shuyi was cutting the beef brisket. Hearing this, she looked at Zheng Jiawen and said with a smile, "Mr. Tao is a customer, so how can there be any reason to let the customer do it?"

"We can't be regarded as guests. Aren't we neighbors? We eat and drink for nothing and don't dare to come again next time." Zheng Jiawen laughed.

Hou Shuyi smiled and handed over the handle of the knife.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiawen stepped forward to take the handle of the knife, rolled up the sleeves of the long gown, cleaned his hands again, and lowered his head to carefully cut the beef brisket. Although the cut was slow, the cut was very even.

An hour later, the tomato beef brisket soup came out of the pot, Zheng Jiawen smelled the soup and unconsciously grunted twice.

"I'll ask the three of them to come down for dinner." Zheng Jiawen felt that he was too worthless, so he quickly found a reason to turn around and leave.

Hou Shuyi was tense all the time, and only smiled when Zheng Jiawen left. No matter how special a person is, he has to eat, and his stomach growls.

On the dinner table, there is a tomato beef brisket soup, a plate of steamed meat with lotus leaf powder, two stir-fried vegetables, five bowls of rice, and two plates of moon cakes. Dinner is complete.

"Ma'am, let's eat on the small balcony on the second floor, where we can see the moon." Zheng Xianglan ran downstairs.

Hou Shuyi thought for a while, and agreed to the situation.

Hou Shuyi and Zheng Jiawen carried the table up to the second floor, and brought up the food. The two adults and three children sat on the open-air balcony and moved their chopsticks.

"Welcome Mr. Tao and Niannian to our house for dinner." Hou Shuyi raised the red wine.

"Thank you Mrs. Zheng for your hospitality." Zheng Jiawen touched Hou Shuyi with a wine glass.

Seeing this, Zheng Xianglan quickly touched Hou Shuyi with orange juice, and then touched Zheng Jiawen.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Auntie, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, sir, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Niannian and sister."

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Zheng Jiawen smiled and took a sip of red wine.

Zheng Jiawen put down his wine glass and took a sip of tomato beef brisket soup. As soon as he ate it, his appetite came up. She has been in Shanghai for so long, and she almost forgot what tomato beef brisket tastes like.

"Mrs. Zheng's craftsmanship is really good." Zheng Jiawen praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. Tao eats more if he likes it." Hou Shuyi never doubted her cooking skills. During the years of her work-study program in Germany, she was able to open a restaurant. She rejected it when she came out, she only wanted to cook for family and friends, not for the world.

"Sister Niannian, look, the moon in the sky is so round and beautiful." Zheng Xianglan looked up at the moon.

"Aye said that there is Guanghan Palace on the moon, and there is a fairy Chang'e living in Guanghan Palace." Zheng Nian said.

"Did your father tell you the story of the moon? Can you tell me the story?" Zheng Xianglan cheered up.

"No story." Zheng Nian shook his head, looked at Zheng Jiawen, "Aye, can you tell the story of the moon?"

Zheng Jiawen grumbled about the beef brisket in his mouth, seeing Mrs. Zheng and his students looking at him suspiciously, he couldn't help but want to stroke his forehead.

"Isn't sir your godmother? Why do you call her Aye?" Zheng Xianglan asked.

Zheng Nian said blankly, "She is me, Aye."

After finishing speaking, he added: "My mother said she is my Aye."

"My mother said it, not my current mother."

Zheng Jiawen's hand holding the chopsticks shook, looking at Zheng Nian's small mouth, she really wanted to shut it up, she really wanted to tell Nian Nian that there is no need to tell the truth outside, let alone add, really don't need to add ! ! !

Hou Shuyi heard that the eyes of Zheng Jiawen changed subtly, and her sixth sense told her that Mr. Tao in front of her was related to Nian Nian's biological mother.

"But Aye, didn't you mean dad? Mr. Tao is clearly a woman." Zheng Xianglan scratched his head, a little confused.

"It's called differently in different regions, and Aye doesn't just refer to father." Hou Shuyi said while serving food for her daughter.

"Oh!" Zheng Xianglan nodded blankly upon hearing this.

Zheng Jiawen looked at Hou Shuyi after hearing the words. She really thanked this Mrs. Zheng for helping her out in front of her students, but Mrs. Zheng's tolerance was too strong.

"Then sir, is Fairy Chang'e in Guanghan Palace beautiful?" Zheng Xianglan quickly stopped worrying about what Aye was referring to and asked looking up at the moon in the sky.

"It's probably beautiful, and I haven't seen it before. But she must be a lonely fairy." Zheng Jiawen looked up at the full moon in the sky, "Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty once wrote a poem about the mica screen candle The shadows are deep, the long river gradually falls and the dawn stars sink. Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea is blue and the sky is heart-warming every night."

"What do you mean sir?"

"This is a fairy tale. Chang'e stole the elixir of immortality from her husband's descendants. After eating it, she ascended to immortality and left the descendants alone in the world. Since then, the husband and wife have been separated and cannot be reunited." Zheng Jiawen's voice was very slow, "Don't you hear that lovers in the world only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals?"

Hou Shuyi also looked up at the moon when she heard the words and said slowly: "The elixir should not be stolen, look at the blue sea and blue sky, what do you want to send every night? When will the bright moon come, afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, Yiyi is too cold to be high."

Zheng Jiawen looked away from the moon and looked at Hou Shuyi. Under the moonlight, this Mrs. Zheng gave her a feeling of loneliness. In the past, she only thought that Mrs. Zheng was very enthusiastic, but she never thought that there was a lonely heart under the enthusiastic appearance.

Hou Shuyi just combined Li Shangyin's poetry with Su Shi's words, and accurately summarized Chang'e Flying to the Moon.Zheng Jiawen was surprised and at the same time thought of Mrs. Zheng's illustrations. This Mrs. Zheng is definitely not an ordinary rich lady, but a new woman with ideas and knowledge.

In the past, Zheng Jiawen didn't want to have a deep friendship with Mrs. Zheng, but today he thinks it would be good to make friends.

"Why does Mr. Tao keep staring at me?" Hou Shuyi pretended to be calm, but her ears were slightly red.

"Sorry." Zheng Jiawen smiled embarrassedly, "I was lost in thought just now."

"It's okay." Hou Shuyi gathered her shawl, and the night wind was still a bit cool.

Zheng Jiawen sat a little stiffly, moved the stool, and when he tilted his head, he saw the newspaper on the rocking chair beside him. The headline on the front page read that physics master Wipton visited Zhongcheng University, and Zheng Jiawen's eyes lit up.

"Mrs. Zheng, can you lend me this newspaper?" Zheng Jiawen was a little excited, her mentor came to China.

"Please." Hou Shuyi nodded.

Zheng Jiawen couldn't wait to pick up the newspaper and read it.

"Is there any news in the morning paper that pleases Mr. Tao?" Hou Shuyi asked while distributing mooncakes to the children.

"Yes, my mentor, Mr. Wipton, has come to China." Zheng Jiawen said while reading the newspaper.

Next to the front page was an article on Planck's constant published by Zhou Ziming. Zheng Jiawen couldn't help reading it down, and frowned slightly when he saw the method of determining Planck's constant mentioned above.

"What's wrong?" Hou Shuyi handed the mooncake to Zheng Jiawen.

Zheng Jiawen took the mooncake with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just an academic question."

"Well, your mentor is here, so it's time to discuss." Hou Shuyi smiled.

"Yes, fortunately Mrs. Zheng invited us to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together today, otherwise I would not have known that my mentor came to China." Zheng Jiawen closed the newspaper and laughed at himself.

"Mr. Tao didn't subscribe to the newspaper?"

"Subscribing newspapers? Subscribing to newspapers and me at this time are like Chang'e and his descendants. No matter what kind of love they can only see each other from a distance, but after the school salary is paid, I will be able to turn around." Zheng Jiawen laughed.

Hou Shuyi smiled, she likes Zheng Jiawen's free and easy spirit, she can see that Zheng Jiawen is shy, but she has never seen him in distress when getting along with him. The wind and water that I have seen on the daily smile.

"Then mention it and wish Mr. Tao a quick recovery." Hou Shuyi raised her wine glass.

Zheng Jiawen smiled and clinked glasses.

At this moment, Zheng Nian leaned on Zheng Jiawen's lap and yawned again and again, Zheng Jiawen put down his wine glass upon seeing this.

"Mrs. Zheng, what time is it?"

"It's past nine o'clock." Hou Shuyi glanced at the watch on her wrist and replied.

"It's so late before I know it." Zheng Jiawen originally thought it would be eight o'clock at most.

"Aye, I'm sleepy." Zheng Nian rubbed his eyes with his right hand, holding a small half of mooncake with his left hand.

"Okay, clean up for Mrs. Zheng, let's go home and sleep." Zheng Jiawen said and stood up.

Hou Shuyi and Zheng Jiawen moved the table to the first floor.

"Mr. Tao, I'll clean up the dishes. Take Niannian and go back to rest." Hou Shuyi bent over to clean up the table.

"It's not too late." The Zheng family packed up the dishes and brought them to the kitchen, and took the initiative to clean the dishes. After seeing it, Hou Shuyi didn't stop her for the first time, and instead went into the kitchen to chat with Zheng Jiawen.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Tao's hand with a pen is no stranger to brushing dishes and dishes."

"Mrs. Zheng is making fun of me." Zheng Jiawen smiled as he brushed, "I have been away alone for many years, and washing dishes is a piece of cake for me. There is no element of modesty in it. Survival is Best sir."

Hou Shuyi took the dishes that Zheng Jiawen had washed and smiled. This is true and I have a deep understanding.

Zheng Jiawen brushed one and handed it to Hou Shuyi, and Hou Shuyi wiped it with a dry towel and put it in the cabinet.

After they were all brushed, Hou Shuyi handed over a clean towel, Zheng Jiawen cleaned his hands, and the two moved in one go.

"Getting along with Mrs. Zheng always feels an inexplicable sense of tacit understanding. No wonder we are neighbors. God is paving the way for us to become friends." Zheng Jiawen dried his hands and hung the towel on the wall with a smile.

Hou Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and said: "Then good friend, welcome to visit us often in the future."

Zheng Jiawen shook hands with a smile and said, "I invite your family to visit my house some other day."

"Mr. Tao wants to show off his cooking skills? Then we will be lucky." Hou Shuyi laughed.

Zheng Jiawen was stunned for a moment, this Mrs. Zheng actually made fun of her?

"Of course, if Mrs. Zheng doesn't mind eating only fried eggs, I'm still willing to show my hand." Zheng Jiawen said and walked out with a smile.

Hou Shuyi laughed after hearing the words, could it be that she really only knows how to fry eggs?

"Nian Nian, let's go." Zheng Jiawen looked at Nian Nian who was about to fall asleep on the sofa.

Zheng Nian rubbed her little eyes and stood up.

"Sir, go slowly, miss my sister, welcome to play again next time." Zheng Xianglan stood aside and said.

"Goodbye, Sister Lan." Zheng Nian waved his little hand.

Hou Shuyi sent Zheng Jiawen and Zheng Nian to the door. Zheng Jiawen, who had just walked two steps, remembered something, turned around slowly and said, "Mrs. ,Um........."

"Send Niannian to my place tomorrow morning." Hou Shuyi laughed.

Zheng Jiawen was overjoyed: "Thank you so much."

"You don't need to be so polite if you say we are friends. See you tomorrow morning." Hou Shuyi waved her hand.

"See you tomorrow morning." Zheng Jiawen had a smile on his face.
