As the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, more and more people come to the store to buy mooncakes, and the demand for mooncakes in Zhangjia Bakery is also increasing, and the supply is gradually in short supply.

But even so, after the last batch of mooncakes was taken away by Mr. Zhang, Ji Wei paid off the wages, dismissed the workers, and distributed four snowskin mooncakes of different flavors to each of them, so that they could prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival. .

Whether it is an old employee or a new employee who has just arrived, they can be said to be grateful to Ji Wei, and they all go home grinning, and they almost treat him as an ancestor.

At [-]:[-] a.m., Ji Wei counted the things in the shop, locked the door and planned to go home.Before I took two steps, I ran into a few people who came to the door eagerly and said they wanted to buy moon cakes.

When I heard that Ji Wei closed the door and would not sell it, I regretted it and begged him to open the door to sell some more.

Ji Wei has principles in his life. He closed the store when he said he would close the store. Of course, he couldn't treat himself badly. After saying goodbye to several people, he went back to West Lane whistling.

When he was about to turn the corner and exit North Street, he happened to see out of the corner of his eye a gold and jade shop on the side, selling some delicate jewelry. Many boys and girls were strolling in it. There were probably five or six of them gathered together.

Thinking that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it coincides with the busy opening of the store recently, Liu Yimian was a little negligent.

Ji Wei walked into the gold and jade shop, planning to buy a small gift.

The shop is not too big, just a few people standing is considered crowded.

Ji Wei didn't want to get together with them, so he stood by the side, glanced roughly, and couldn't see why, so he asked the shopkeeper directly.

"Is there anything suitable for fifteen or sixteen-year-olds?" I think the shopkeeper knows the best about the products, so let him recommend them.

The shopkeeper asked about his hobbies again, and Ji Wei replied that he was studying. He laughed a few times and brought him a padded box.

The red lacquer wooden box is exquisitely carved, and when the lid is opened, there is a Ruyi jade pendant with rich blue color, the color is excellent, the water head is very straight, the green is deeply sunken in the black cushion, it is very beautiful.

"This wishful jade pendant has been consecrated by an eminent monk to ward off evil spirits and destroy disasters. In addition, the young master is a scholar, so he can always use it in exams. People nourish jade, and jade nourishes people. After wearing it for a long time, jade has a spirit." The shopkeeper The one who talked about it was full of hype.

But Ji Wei didn't listen.

He took out the pendant and rubbed it in his hand, it felt warm and smooth, with a clear and flowing feeling to the light, it was indeed top grade.As for whether he has been consecrated by an eminent monk, he is not very interested.

"how much is it?"

"This is the best jade in Shuitou in the store. It's worth two taels of silver. You see—" the shopkeeper carefully looked at the expression on Ji Wei's face, for fear that he might think it was too expensive.

There have been many young people who have been here before, and they are satisfied after watching it for a long time, but they just feel that it is expensive.No matter how good the jade is, if I always press @ in my hand, the shopkeeper is also anxious.

Whether Ji Wei will buy it, he has no idea, but it is always right to cast a wide net, what if it is caught?

The shopkeeper held this idea, but when he saw Ji Wei reaching out to pick out his pocket neatly, he didn't react for a while.When he threw the money on the table and was about to leave with the box, he let out an ah and stopped Ji Wei.

"Anything else?" Ji Wei turned her head and frowned at the shopkeeper.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is no food at home. This time, he has to rush to Dongxi Street to buy something, but he has no time to delay here.

"Ah, no, just a small gift. I wonder if the guest would like it?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking how this generous guest could make people tremble with such a low face.

With trembling fingers, he grabbed two Ruyi buckle bracelets made of red string mixed with gold thread from the drawer, and handed them to Ji Wei, saying they were gifts.

Ji Wei didn't look at it carefully, so she put it in her pocket and walked away, but she didn't know that it was specially given to young lovers by the shopkeeper. skillful.

Before returning home, he turned to Dongxi Street, paid for the things he had ordered when he came out in the morning, and took them away, then turned to Aunt Zhou's house along the way.

Her family raised a lot of chickens, and she sold some eggs on weekdays, and slaughtered one during festivals, saving money to buy them.

When I arrived at the door of Aunt Zhou's house, the door was ajar and not closed.

Ji Wei can be considered an old acquaintance. He knocked twice and no one answered, so he opened the door and walked in.Before entering the room, Aunt Zhou's piercing voice came out through the earthen wall.

"...Then where did this thing come from! Don't argue with me. I'm your old lady. I've raised you for 19 years. I don't understand anything!" Aunt Zhou was so angry that she pinched Zhao Hu with one hand. ears, blushing and scolding him with a thick neck.

Zhao Hu hung his head, not daring to talk back, his back was facing the door, his tall and generous back looked a little lonely.

Ji Wei stood outside and watched for a while, seeing if the two of them would calm down for a while, he stepped forward to say hello, which was considered to temporarily stop the quarrel between the two.

"Da Lang, you came back very early today." Aunt Zhou quickly let go, showing a small face, and walked towards Ji Wei.

"Yeah, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let everyone go back early to rest, and don't be so tired." Ji Wei glanced at the table, except for the mooncake gift box and snowy mooncakes he asked Zhao Hu to bring back, there was a white board Tofu.

As for where the tofu comes from, Ji Wei can guess eight @ninebuliten without asking.

Aunt Zhou saw him glance at the tofu, gave Zhao Hu a embarrassed look, and quickly explained: "This tofu was sent by Sanniang. When we set up a stall together in the morning, I just said that I haven't eaten tofu for a long time. I didn't expect Send it to me in the afternoon, I really don’t know what to say.”

Ji Wei hummed, but did not continue this topic.

"I want to buy a chicken, it should be fine, right?"

"Do you want a rooster or a hen? There are twenty or so in the yard, you can choose whatever you want." Aunt Zhou helped Ji Wei take the bag from her hand, put it on the table, and led him to pick chickens in the backyard.

The chickens raised at home have bright and bright coats, and the roosters look majestic, healthy and strong.

Ji Wei chose a rooster with a full comb and asked Aunt Zhou to help tie it up. She refused her offer to help butcher it, and took several bags full of things back home.

Liu Yimian is usually studying, and when she heard someone knocking on the door, she quickly ran to open the door, but she didn't expect it to be Ji Wei, she couldn't hide her joy with joy.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Seeing that he was carrying a lot of things in his hand, and there was also a live chicken tied up, Liu Yimian quickly reached out to take it.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, of course I have to take a vacation. How can I be so busy? You're lonely at home." Ji Weiyi kicked the door and walked behind Liu Yimian, sighing a little, "If you can go to the county school Well, there are many people of the same age there, and there are people to accompany them."

He usually does business and doesn't care about his family, so it's not good for Liu Yimian to be neglected all the time.

When mentioning the county school, Ji Wei asked a few homework questions.

This question made Liu Yimian's heart ache, and he blushed even more excitedly, telling Ji Wei that he was praised by Zhang Mingyuan yesterday afternoon.

"Zhang Xiucai praised you for being smart and eager to learn. This is a good thing. Did he say anything else?"

Liu Yimian pursed her lips, and said in a little hesitation: "Xiucai said, I read the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Songs almost the same. If I can pass his test after the Mid-Autumn Festival, please help me..." His voice gradually dropped, and he looked a little unconfident .

Ji Wei put everything away, dragged a stool, pulled Liu Yimian to sit down, and continued to ask him.

Zhang Mingyuan came from a wealthy family and was a student, of course he came from a county school.When I was studying in the county school, I had a deep friendship with Mr. Shishan, teachers and students, far surpassing others, and even now I still keep in touch with each other.

He gave Liu Yimian a few sentences in the quiz yesterday, and seeing him speaking eloquently without hesitation, he couldn't help but praise him a few words.He also made a promise, saying that after the mid-autumn festival, he would test his book and pass his homework, and if he could pass, he would recommend Liu Yimian to the head of the mountain.

With him as a scholar as a recommendation, it would not be too difficult to enter the county school.

But Ji Weiyi was busy all the time, and Liu Yimian was a little worried that he couldn't make it through, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it.Since Ji Wei asked today, he will not continue to hide it.

"This is a great thing, why didn't you tell me?" Ji Wei was overjoyed, even more excited than he had made a lot of money.

Standing up from the stool all of a sudden, walking around Liu Yimian a few times, she still couldn't calm down.

Ji Wei carried the chicken and walked to the stove to get the knife. Liu Yimian was startled when he saw it, and hurried over to stop him.

"What is this for?"

"You have a big happy event. I should say something. This chicken was killed to celebrate. You go and get a bowl, and I want to bleed the chicken." The chicken feet were tied up with ropes, and they watched quietly. When he touched the sharp knife, he felt severe pain immediately.

Ji Wei was talking to Liu Yimian, and almost broke away without paying attention. In a rage, he slapped the chicken's head with the back of the knife, and it fainted.

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I still keep it. Anyway, it's only one day away, so I'm not in a hurry to celebrate, right?" Liu Yimian said the last three words softly, and Ji Wei felt relieved, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then tomorrow, I'll give you all the chicken legs and wings."

But even so, Ji Wei still slaughtered the chicken and plucked it for bloodletting.Rub the chicken all over with the adjusted sauce, stuff ginger slices and scallions into the belly, and put it in the well.

The next day was busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival. After eating and taking a bath at night, the two went back to the house to rest.

Before blowing the lamp, Ji Wei unbuttoned his belt, and suddenly remembered the jade pendant he bought, and was a little anxious because he didn't know where to put it after taking a bath.

Liu Yimian saw the box on the table when Liu Yimian locked it in the kitchen, took it and planned to go back to the bedroom to ask Ji Wei, but forgot all of a sudden, heard that he was looking for it, got up from the bed fearfully, and brought the box to him.

"Have you opened it secretly?" Ji Wei held the box with a smile and moved close to him.

Breath sprayed on the fingertips, a little hot and humid feeling.

"No, no, what is it?" Liu Yimian shook her head violently, denying it in a panic.

"It's okay to read it. If you haven't read it, watch it now. It's a small gift for you." Ji Wei held Liu Yimian's wrist, stuffed the small wooden box into his palm, and urged him to open it.

Under Ji Wei's expectant gaze, Liu Yimian opened the box, and was immediately hooked by the blue jade pendant, unable to move her eyes away, and unable to speak @ her mouth.

"What? Look silly?" Ji Wei flicked Liu Yimian's head with his thumb and index finger, interrupting his joy of being alone, "Do you like it?"

Liu Yimian was so happy that she couldn't speak, she could only nod vigorously with a blushing face, hesitated for a while, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Can Brother Ji put it on for me?"

Ji Wei's heart is soft@soft, and without thinking about it, he picks up the pendant without hesitation, takes a step forward, wraps his hands around Liu Yimian's thin neck, and clasps the jade pendant necklace for him in an embracing posture.

The two were so close, Liu Yimian tilted his head slightly, and he could see the corner of Ji Wei's ruddy mouth, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he blushed and turned away.
