Chapter 925 The Mid-Autumn Festival is here(1/2)

"Mr. Chen, are you in trouble?"

Ye Rongyao pressed the answer button and asked.

"What does it mean to have something to do? If I have something to do, can I still call you?"

Chen Tiankai said jokingly.

"Haha, tell me, what's the matter?"

Ye Rongyao believed that Chen Tiankai called him, and something must be wrong.

If two big men have nothing to do on the phone, they will become good friends.

Ye Rongyao is very sure that he is a normal man, with absolutely correct orientation, only interested in women, but not men.

"Is it Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow? I invite your family to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival in my house!"

Chen Tiankai said.

"No, it's better to celebrate the festival at your own home during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Ye Rongyao shook his head and said.

Mid-Autumn Festival means that the full moon signifies the reunion of people. This Mid-Autumn Festival means that the family gathers together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and go to other people's homes to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ye Rongyao would not do such a thing.

"Okay, by the way, I've got someone to give you a few boxes of mooncakes and some things, you'll accept them later."

Chen Tiankai said.

I called Ye Rongyao today, mainly telling him that he had given him something.

The communication between people means making calls often and making calls whenever you have something to do, otherwise the other party will easily forget you.

"It's mooncake again!"

Ye Rongyao was a little depressed. His family had received a lot of mooncakes these days. What made Ye Rongyao speechless was that the town government also gave him two large mooncakes.

He said that this was the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits given to every civil servant in the town, but Ye Rongyao was so amused that he was not a civil servant.

I actually enjoyed the treatment of this civil servant during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Tiankai asked in confusion.

"I have so many mooncakes in my house now, I can't finish them, too many."

Ye Rongyao said.

Ye Rongyao remembers that when he was young, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family would sit outside the yard to cool off, looking at the bright moon in the sky and eating moon cakes. At that time, they thought that the moon cakes were not enough, but now they couldn't finish them.

In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been a custom of worshiping the moon, enjoying the moon, worshiping the moon, eating moon cakes, enjoying the osmanthus, drinking osmanthus wine, etc.

However, with the changes of the times, these intangible cultural heritages have become increasingly forgotten by people now.

In Taoyuan Village, the custom left behind is to watch the moon, eat moon cakes, and drink osmanthus wine.

When Ye Rongyao was young, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, his mother would come to the store to buy a large mooncake. When she was watching the moon at night, she would cut the mooncakes into small pieces and give them to everyone to eat.

At that time, the mooncakes my mother bought were not as big as they are now, and one person could get one or two pieces.

This was not enough for Ye Rongyao when he was a child. Ye Rongyao often ate the mooncakes of his father and mother.

At that time, China's economy was not so developed. Even in Wenzhou City, southeast of China, there were still many people wandering outside the food and clothing line. Except for the holidays, they could have a good meal and delicious snacks.

Usually, there is no good food at all.

Of course, it is more important that the family is poor and cannot afford it.

But now, people's living conditions are getting better, and everyone no longer lacks food and drink.

The mooncakes that Ye Rongyao liked to eat in the past are now too much to eat. Looking at the boxes of mooncakes placed at home, Ye Rongyao really had a headache!

I can't finish it!

"Don't talk about your home, my home is full of mooncakes now. You can do it on the spot and share some of the mooncakes."

Chen Tiankai said with a smile.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people who give mooncakes to their homes. Many mooncakes are given to them by others, and they are given to others by themselves.

After all, the higher the social status of this person, the more people give gifts during the festival. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Tiankai’s family gives gifts in a constant stream.

Because everyone knows that Chen Tiankai's family is very rich, and this gift is a holiday gift. It is a very expensive thing that others don't care about.

"All right!"

Ye Rongyao could only respond helplessly. After all, this family’s gifts were almost at the doorstep, so it would be bad if someone had to return them.

A good mooncake costs about a few hundred yuan, so there is no need to push it back and forth.

After chatting with Chen Tiankai for a while, he hung up the phone.

The two big men had nothing to say on the phone.

Ye Rongyao thought about it and called Fang Bolin: "Linlin, have you bought the Mid-Autumn Festival gift?"

"If you don't plan to buy it, just send a shopping card worth 100 yuan per person." Fang Bolin said.

Nowadays, many companies are popular for issuing shopping cards, allowing employees to choose to buy things by themselves with the shopping cards.

The advantage of this is that employees are more autonomous and can go to the supermarket to choose to buy what they want.

Of course, there is also some bad thing, that is, there is no holiday atmosphere. In the past, during festivals, enterprises and factories distributed things, and everyone took things home, which gave people a special festive feeling.

"How can I just send shopping cards? This Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to send mooncakes. It will be holiday tomorrow. When you come here later, I will take the mooncakes to everyone to share."

Ye Rongyao said.

There are so many mooncakes left at home and they are not long, so Ye Rongyao decided to use these mooncakes at home as benefits to the employees in the foundation.

"Haha, boss, are you too many mooncakes in your house?"

Fang Bolin said with a smile.

"You talk too much, don't you, don't, I'll give it to the village elderly association." Ye Rongyao said.

"Why don't you want it? The mooncakes that others give you to your boss are all very good mooncakes. Don't be stupid."

Fang Bolin said.

Fang Bolin knew that many of the people her boss contacted were rich and powerful people. The mooncakes they gave to her boss were not ordinary mooncakes that cost dozens of dollars on the market, but were definitely expensive mooncakes that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.

If this is distributed to the employees in the foundation, they will be very unhappy.

"Then you come here early, it's almost four o'clock."

Ye Rongyao said.

Ye Rongyao’s “Qingyao Charity Foundation” is based on eight-hour working hours, nine in the morning, five in the afternoon, weekends, and other holidays are on average according to national standards.

In terms of welfare benefits, it is not inferior to civil servants at all.

...

The next day, Ye Rongyao got up early.

Because today is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, it is also a traditional festival in our country, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival has a long history.

According to legend, in ancient times, ten days appeared in the sky at the same time, and the crops died and the people lived in poverty. A hero named Houyi was extremely powerful. He sympathized with the suffering people, climbed to the top of Kunlun Mountain, used his divine power, pulled out his divine bow, shot down more than nine suns in one go, and ordered the last sun to rise and set on time to benefit the people.

Houyi was respected and loved by the people for this reason. Houyi married a beautiful and kind wife named Chang'e.

In addition to teaching his skills to hunt, Houyi was with his wife all day long. People envy this loving couple with his talented and beautiful women.

Many patriots came to learn from their masters, and Peng Meng, who had a bad mind, also got in.

One day, Houyi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek the truth. He happened to meet the Queen Mother who passed by, so he asked the Queen Mother for a pack of immortal medicine.

It is said that taking this medicine can immediately ascend to heaven and become an immortal. However, Houyi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he had to give the immortal medicine to Chang'e for the time being.

Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dressing table, but was unexpectedly seen by the villain Peng Meng. He wanted to steal the immortal medicine and become an immortal himself.

Three days later, Houyi led his disciples out to hunt, and Peng Meng, who was ulterior motives, pretended to be sick and stayed.

Shortly after Houyi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in his hand, forcing Chang'e to hand over the immortal medicine.

Chang'e knew that she was not Peng Meng's opponent. When she was in danger, she made a quick decision, turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the elixir of immortality and swallowed it in one mouthful.

Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew towards the sky. Because Chang'e was concerned about her husband, she flew to the moon closest to the world and became an immortal.

In the evening, Houyi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Houyi was both shocked and angry, and drew his sword to kill the evildoers. Peng Meng had already escaped. Houyi was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and was heartbroken. He looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name.

At this time, he was surprised to find that the moon today was particularly bright and bright, and there was a shaking figure that looked like Chang'e.

He chased the moon desperately, but he chased after three steps, the moon retreated three steps, he took three steps, and the moon advanced three steps, and he couldn't catch up with him no matter what.

Houyi had no choice but to miss his wife, so he had to send someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, put in an incense table, put her favorite honey and fresh fruits, and sacrifice to Chang'e who was attached to her in the Moon Palace.

After hearing the news that Chang'e had fled to the moon to become an immortal, the people set up incense tables under the moon and prayed for good luck and peace to the kind Chang'e.
