Chapter 123 Mid-Autumn Festival
Chapter 123 Mid-Autumn Festival
Qibao looked at the cake that had been divided up, his big eyes filled with reluctance. In the end, he even ran over and grabbed the former monkey king's tail: "Monkey, cake."
The former Monkey King, upon seeing that it was Qibao, dared not get angry. And what did the other say about being "high"? That was easy to say; he simply scooped the person up in one go and leaped onto the wall.
"Ahhh!" Qibao danced with joy, "Monkey, cake is so delicious..."
"High up is good? Then let's continue," and the former monkey king jumped onto the roof again.
"Seven Treasures? Big Monkey, come down." Xia Songshi was startled and hurriedly called out.
Qibao wasn't scared at all and kept giggling.
Yunyi was also worried that the monkey would drop Qibao, so she quickly made a hand gesture.
The former Monkey King, seeing this, dared not cause any more trouble and delivered the Seven Treasures in one somersault.
The other monkeys watched with envy, but none of them stepped forward. Only the Four Treasures came over and stared intently at the former Monkey King.
The former Monkey King scratched his head, wondering what this meant. He could only look to Yunyi for help.
Yunyi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but walk over, squat down, and look at Sibao: "Do you want to be lifted up high by the monkey?"
Sibao nodded at Yunyi.
"Then you have to say it out loud, otherwise Monkey won't know what you want to do. You have to say 'Gao Gao' like Qi Bao does."
Sibao opened his mouth, but no sound came out. In the end, he could only lower his head in frustration.
Yunyi glanced at the other treasures.
The other monkeys were stunned for a moment, but Er Ya understood immediately and hurriedly ran over to the former monkey king, saying, "Lift him up high!"
The former Monkey King looked at Yunyi.
Yunyi nodded.
The former Monkey King picked up Er Ya and climbed onto the wall, eventually reaching the roof.
Er Ya was still tense when she got to the top of the wall, but she couldn't hold back when she got to the roof and exclaimed, "It feels so far up there! I can even see Brother Donkey Egg's chickens!"
The kids below got excited too, shouting "Gao Gao!"
The other monkeys were also jumping and squeaking on the wall, clearly excited as well.
The former Monkey King was also very responsible. With a stern face, he hugged each of the cubs one by one, not even missing Mu Yan and Shen Jiajia. In the end, only the four treasures were left.
Everyone knew Yunyi's intention, especially Dabao, who came over and took Sibao's hand: "Sibao, shout 'Gao Gao' and you'll go up. Dabao will shout with you."
“I’ll shout too.” Er Ya ran over and took Si Bao’s other hand.
The former monkey king led the monkeys in squeaking on the wall, seemingly cheering them on.
Sibao's face turned bright red, her little mouth opened and closed repeatedly, but she finally lowered her head again.
Yunyi knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, so she went over and patted his head: "It's okay if Sibao doesn't want to talk about it today. You can tell Dahouhou when you want to, okay?"
Sibao glanced at Yunyi, bit her lip, and lowered her head again.
"Alright, it's time to rest today. Da Bao, take everyone to play." Yun Yi called to Da Bao, "But be careful."
Da Bao nodded, then invited everyone to go out and play.
Because we were going to worship the moon that night, we had a simple lunch and then everyone got busy in the kitchen in the afternoon.
Whether rich or poor, people will buy some mooncakes, fruits, and snacks on this day. If they are going to worship the moon, they need to arrange the dishes on a plate, so it can't be too shabby.
Yunyi knew that different eras had different customs, and different places had different customs as well. This was her first major festival since she came into this world, and she needed to follow local customs.
Xia Songshi smiled and said that it was fine no matter how it was done, as long as she did her best.
Yunyi didn't say anything more and made preparations based on what she knew.
There has been a saying since ancient times that "men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the stove god." Therefore, the moon worship activities that night were all participated in by women.
Originally, it was Xia Songshi who was supposed to lead everyone in worshipping the moon, but Xia Songshi said that Yunyi was the one who supported the family, so she was the head of the family and should preside over all the activities.
Gu Chengrui glanced at Xia Songshi with some surprise, but ultimately said nothing, and the others were even less likely to object.
Yunyi glanced at Gu Chengrui, declined slightly, and then accepted. Although she was young, she was probably old enough to be the great-great ...
No one had any objection to Yunyi taking the lead.
After bathing and changing clothes, an offering table was set up in the middle of the courtyard, covered with a red cloth.
People placed red candles, offerings, and other items on the table, including mooncakes, pastries, apples, and peaches, in a very elaborate manner.
After the red candles were lit, Yunyi led everyone to kneel down and kowtow devoutly, then prayed to the Moon Goddess for everyone's safety and well-being.
Although Jia Liushi and Guo Yining were not members of the Xia family, they did not stand on ceremony and joined in the moon worship.
The monkeys squatted on the wall watching everyone's actions, and then they actually jumped down and kowtowed along with everyone. From a distance, the whole courtyard looked like a dark mass.
When Yunyi stood up and turned around, she couldn't help but twitch her lips, but she didn't stop them. Instead, she invited everyone into the restaurant to start their reunion dinner.
After we finished eating and cleaning up, it was time to enjoy the moon. So everyone moved to the courtyard and set out mooncakes and fruits.
The former monkey king once again demonstrated his immense strength, carrying each of his cubs onto the roof, but still leaving the four treasures behind.
Sibao stood there with slightly red eyes.
"Sibao, you have to say you want to go up, otherwise Big Monkey won't understand," Yunyi coaxed him again.
The former monkey king was also jumping around in front of Sibao.
“Gao…” Si Bao opened his mouth wide. This time, unlike before when he was silent, he made a very faint syllable.
That syllable was almost inaudible if you didn't listen carefully, but Yunyi heard it and immediately smiled happily: "Sibao spoke, big monkey, did you hear that? Sibao said tall, so he wants to be tall too."
The former Monkey King rushed over and picked up Sibao in one swift motion.
Si Bao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed a look of surprise.
The former Monkey King didn't immediately climb onto the wall. Instead, he carried his four treasures and strolled around the yard a few times. Once he got used to it, he swiftly climbed onto the top of the wall.
Everyone was watching Sibao with a mixture of tension and excitement.
Sibao's eyes widened with delight, her little hands tightly gripping the big monkey's fur.
After wandering around the wall twice, the former monkey king finally went straight up to the roof.
Sibao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Sibao, you can talk now!" Dabao was so happy that tears streamed down his face. "That's wonderful, Sibao!"
"Big...Big Brother." Si Bao reached out his hand to Da Bao.
Da Bao pulled Si Bao's hand and made him sit next to him: "Say it again?"
"Big brother."
"The four kingdoms speak..." Shippo suddenly stood up, clapping his little hands and shouting.
The little guy forgot he was on the roof, then lost his footing and rolled straight down.
