Chapter 11 Mid-Autumn Festival

An Zining stayed at home for a week and then went to work. Her family also felt that An Zining should come into contact with new things and should not always be kept at home. Many things can only be digested by themselves, and no one else can do anything.

Soon, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. According to the habit, I need to go back to the old house for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. An’s parents went to the old house one day in advance. An’s mother wanted to go back to prepare dinner with her aunt. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the servants at home all went back to celebrate the festival. This is the tradition of An’s family.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, An Zining bought a gift for her family and drove over by herself. An Zining wore a sky blue long skirt today and white shoes. Her hair in front was slightly tied and the back was casually scattered, which was very lively and without temperament.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old man about the same age as my grandfather sitting in the living room chatting with my grandfather.

"Grandpa" An Zining shouted sweetly. Grandpa An raised his head, "Girl is back, come here." Grandpa An patted the seat beside him and signaled An Zining to sit down. An Zining walked over and handed over the tea set she bought for Grandpa An. This was brought back by her by someone from Jingdezhen. Grandpa An is old and usually drinks tea and makes flowers and plants.

"Come on, girl, meet your Grandpa Gu, this Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Gu, who has moved to the United States for many years. This time I came back to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival in my hometown. Grandpa Gu is your grandpa's life-saving benefactor." Grandpa An looked very good and was very happy. His beard trembled when he spoke.

"Hello Grandpa Gu," An Zining said sweetly, "Grandpa Gu, I'm sorry, I don't know you are here and didn't prepare a gift for you." An Zining really felt a little embarrassed. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was my grandfather's life-saving benefactor, so he should prepare the gift.

"Girl, don't worry, I will prepare a gift for Grandpa Gu next time. Old man An, this is the best bone porcelain." Grandpa Gu spoke very angry.

"If Grandpa Gu likes it, I will give you a set next time," An Zining said hurriedly.

"Old man An, you are so lucky." Grandpa Gu laughed and looked at An Zining lovingly.

"By the way, Old Man Gu, didn't you say that your grandson was coming too? Why haven't you arrived yet?" Grandpa An suddenly asked.

"It should be soon, he will not be late," Grandpa Gu said indifferently.

An Zining sat next to the tea tray, helped the two old men pour tea, and stood up and said, "Grandpa Gu, grandpa, you chat first, I'll help prepare the dining table."

After a while, the doorbell rang, "It should be here, girl, please help open the door." Grandpa An shouted to An Zining. The An family has keys. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, people who ring the doorbell can almost guess.

"Okay" An Zining walked out and saw a man in a black suit standing outside the door, carrying something like a gift box in his hand.

"Hello, are you?" Although grandpa said it was Grandpa Gu's grandson, I still have to ask.

"Hello, I am Gu Shaochen, and my grandfather is Gu Ping'an." Gu Shaochen spoke.

The man is about 28 years old, less than 30 years old, and has a very good figure in a suit, with a sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a thin lips. He exudes a cold breath, which is An Zining's feeling.

"Oh, welcome, my name is An Zining." An Zining hurriedly opened the door.

The two walked closer to the house together, "Hello Grandpa An, Hello Grandpa." Gu Shaochen was polite.

"Come? Welcome to our house." Grandpa An stood up to greet him.

"Grandpa An, I don't know if you like the gift I brought to you this time." Gu Shaochen handed over the gift he bought.

"Boy, why haven't you ever seen you buy me a gift?" Grandpa Gu pretended to be angry. "Bone porcelain?" Grandpa Gu looked at Gu Shaochen's gift.

"I like, I like, young man, I'm sorry." Grandpa An received gifts in succession and smiled from ear to ear.

"Bone porcelain? You two have such a tacit understanding," Grandpa An quipped.

An Zining also saw the bone porcelain in Gu Shaochen's hand, and her face turned red after a flash. However, the old man only bought the gifts, and it was normal to buy the same gifts.

"Grandpa~" An Zining called Grandpa An coquettishly

"Okay, don't joke, my girl is shy." Grandpa An spoke in time.

Before he could be stunned, An's father had already come over and invited the two old men to prepare for dinner.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was undoubtedly rich. An Zining had a lot of food. During this period, she lost a lot of weight and couldn't let go and forget everything she couldn't forget. She began to get used to letting go and trying to forget. After dinner, An Zining helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks. According to the habit, she had to stay in the old house tonight. The family happily sat in front of the TV watching TV and chatting. Grandpa Gu and Grandpa An were both very happy and kept chatting with the younger generation. An Zining obediently helped the elders make tea and cut fruits. An Zining didn't notice at all. There was a person's eyes always on her, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Old man An, your granddaughter is so well-behaved. You are much more blessed than me." Grandpa Gu praised An Zining without hesitation.

"Grandpa Gu, you praise me so much." An Zining felt a little embarrassed. "You often come back in the future, and we siblings will be so filial to you."

"Okay, this girl is so sweet-mouthed. Grandpa has recorded this sentence," Grandpa Gu laughed.

After ten o'clock, everyone left one after another, and the two old men also went back to rest. An Zining went back to her room to take a shower, but she couldn't sleep. So she put on her clothes and walked out, preparing to sit in the yard.

There is a swing in the yard, which was what An Zining pestered her grandfather when she was young. When she was a child, the happiest thing she had when she returned to the old house was to swing here. The swing that looked quite big before seemed to have become smaller now. An Zining sat on it and swayed gently a few times. The moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival is undoubtedly the most beautiful, but for some reason, An Zining's heart suddenly became empty.

Gu Shaochen walked out and saw a lonely figure on the swing. He walked over slowly. After a while, An Zining realized that someone had come to her side and saw Gu Shaochen.

"Well, can't you sleep?" An Zining felt a little embarrassed. As the master, she asked first.

"You can't sleep either?" Gu Shaochen raised his eyebrows.

"You sit down." An Zining made a request gesture and pointed to the stone bench next to her.

"I'm a little uncomfortable when I come here for the first time, right? You can tell us if you have any needs." An Zining was afraid that Gu Shaochen would feel uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, maybe because of work and rest time," Gu Shaochen answered simply.

"Did you grow up in the United States?" An Zining felt that it was too weird for the two of them to sit here without talking about anything, so she started to have nothing to say.

"I went to the United States at the age of 8. I have been traveling in China for the past two years. I have only been back this time," Gu Shaochen didn't think women were talking nonsense today.

For some reason, An Zining always felt that Gu Shaochen had a very familiar feeling around him, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him. An Zining squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Shaochen. The swing swayed slightly, the corners of the skirt were sliding, and the moonlight flowed, and everything was quiet and beautiful.

"We? Have you seen it before?" An Zining said.

"We? Do you think we have seen it?" Gu Shaochen suddenly showed an evil smile on his mouth.

"But why do I feel that you have a familiar feeling?" An Zining felt more and more uneasy as she thought about it. How could this happen? Moreover, according to An Zining's personality, she would not say so much to a stranger.

"Oh, that's probably what we've seen in our previous life." Gu Shaochen thought that such words were so vulgar and extremely sour, but for some reason, he blurted out today.

"Tsk, come less," An Zining rolled her eyes. "It's getting late, I'm going to go to bed." An Zining got up and prepared to go back to the room.

I don’t know if it was because I sat on the swing for too long or what happened, “Ah” An Zining exhaled softly, her right foot was numb and she couldn’t use it, so she almost fell. Gu Shaochen next to me was clear-eyed and quickly stretched out one hand to catch An Zining. An Zining lies in Gu Shaochen’s arms, holding Gu Shaochen’s waist with both hands.

The smell on Gu Shaochen's body is different from Fu Yiyang. Fu Yiyang's body is full of warm sunshine, but Gu Shaochen's body has a faint mint fragrance, mixed with a hint of tobacco. An Zining discovered her situation and stood up suddenly. It doesn't matter when she stood there. The main reason is that her right leg still didn't react and almost fell down.

Gu Shaochen almost laughed out loud when he looked at An Zining, "Your legs should be numb, I'll help you in."

An Zining knew that she must be in a mess at the moment. What should I do? Who will save me? Before An Zining could respond, Gu Shaochen walked around An Zining's waist with one hand and prepared to help her in. When he touched An Zining with his arm, An Zining suddenly remembered something.

"You? Fly? Are we returning home on the same plane?" An Zining stared at Gu Shaochen.

It seems that it’s not too stupid, Gu Shaochen murmured, but he still didn’t plan to admit it just like that, “Has we met it?”

"It must be true. Did you feel a little uncomfortable on the day you returned to China? You were wearing an eye mask and a mask?" An Zining stopped and pulled Gu Shaochen's arm and said with a little excitement.

"I caught a cold that day, how do you know?" Gu Shaochen continued to pretend to be stupid.

"I'll sit next to you." An Zining felt that the world was so small for the first time.

"Oh? You are the one who hugged my arm tightly?" Gu Shaochen knew that it would be too much to pretend.

"Yes, yes, sorry, because I was scared by thunder at that time, haha, I didn't expect the world to be so small." When I remembered the reason why Gu Shaochen was familiar with, An Zining was undoubtedly very happy. "Well, sorry." An Zining suddenly found that she was pulling Gu Shaochen's arm, and she let go immediately, and her face turned red.

"That, it's getting late, let's take a break early." An Zining lowered her head, and immediately turned back into the house after saying that, leaving behind the fragrance of the ground and a chuckling man.
