With Baili Jinghua’s help, they made many mooncakes much faster. Baili Jinghua knew how to knead the dough and make mooncakes, so she was very excited.
As it turned out, apart from brandishing knives and wielding guns, she also knew how to make pastries. She looked at how the mother and daughter made pastries and thought it was pretty novel.
Even Baili Xihong was curiously watching from the sidelines. He also wanted to join them, so Su Binglan pulled a piece of dough for him to play with as a toy.
Baili Xihong mimicked everyone’s actions and pressed his dough into a mold. After removing the dough, it looked like a round mooncake with engraved words. Baili Xihongs eyes lit up as he thought it was so magical.
Baili Jinghua was delighted to see her son’s intrigued expression. Her son finally showed an appearance that matched his age, and Baili Jinghua felt even more at ease in the village.
Su Binglan made some small snacks after making the mooncakes. “Let’s set off fireworks on the beam this afternoon. Then Father can throw these snacks to the villagers. It’ll be so lively.”
“Of course. I’m sure everyone will love the snacks you made. Many villagers will join in the fun.”
The snacks and mooncakes that Su Binglan made were well-known throughout Tenghe Town and Su Teng Village. Of course, mooncakes were affordable, so people from various villages would buy them directly from Su Binglan.
Shen Qiuhua could sell these mooncakes straight from home, and it felt pretty good. She could not stop smiling with that thought in mind.
Aftervvard, Su Binglan brought Baili Jinghua to her grandparent’s house to do the paperwork for the house purchase. The village chief, First Granduncle Su, signed and stamped the paperwork, then Su Binglan and Baili Jinghua went to the town administrator to complete the process.
The administrator prioritized their paperwork when he saw Su Binglan. Baili Jinghua was still in disbelief when she took the house deed and paperwork. Nonetheless, she and Su Binglan could quickly return since they rode a horse there.
Meanwhile, Baili Xihong stuck by Shen Qiuhua’s side since he felt uneasy when his mother left with Su Binglan. Initially, Shen Qiuhua let the little guy play on the bed for a while, but Baili Xihong insisted on waiting at the door.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Don’t worry, Xihong. Your mother only went to town to do some business. She i ll be back soon. Look over there. Your mother bought that house, so you can live there with her soon.”
Shen Qiuhua was busy with matters at hand while talking to
Shen Qiuhua was busy with the matters at hand while talking to the little guy. When he saw his mother and Su Binglan’s figures, he excitedly ran toward them.
“Hey, hey!” Shen Qiuhua felt that the little guy could run pretty fast.
Su Binglan hurriedly stopped her horse when she saw Baili Xihong. Then she and Baili Jinghua got off the horse.
Baili Jinghua carried her son, saying, “Were you worried? It’s okay. I just went to town to do some paperwork, that’s all. Look, this is our house deed. We can live here from now on.”
She could feel her son’s unease, so she hugged and comforted him. Their few years of traveling had caused Baili Xihong to get easily worried.
Su Binglan looked at Baili Jinghua and said, “It’s almost noon. We’ll set off the firecrackers and serve snacks at the beam soon, so you should bring Xihong along. It’ll be fun and lively.”
She knew the little guy would feel better if he could feel the lively atmosphere.
Soon after, Su Fengmao returned. “It’s almost noon, and the villagers will probably return from the fields soon. We should be ready to set off the firecrackers.”
He picked up the firecrackers and looked at his wife. “Right, have you prepared the things we need to sprinkle?”
Shen Qiuhua took a basket from the room and said, “These are freshly made snacks that are still warm. There are also some candies that Binglan bought from town last time.”
Su Fengmao opened the cloth on top of the basket and saw many things inside. “We don’t usually need so much.”
In that era, whenever someone built a house, they would sprinkle some things from the beams. At most, it would be miniature steamed buns made with white flour, but those were rare, even though they were good.
Still, there were usually few of these things, and only a few people could get some. Since the family had prepared an abundance of snacks and candies, everyone could get something.
Shen Qiuhua explained smilingly, “Binglan made most of those. She said the village would be bustling with activities since the holidays are arriving soon.
She also made miniature mooncakes so that everyone would be satisfied.”
Su Fengmao carried the heavy basket and felt quite happy. “All the villagers will come over when the firecrackers go off, so I’ll go to the new house first.”
“Okay, Binglan and I will join you later.”
Su Binglan was also excited. She enjoyed the liveliness of the village because she could experience the folks’ customs. She looked at Baili Jinghua and quietly said, “Let’s go and take a look. We’ll go and tidy up your house after lunch.”
“Okay.”
Just as the duo walked over, there was a crackling sound.
Crackle! Crackle!
It was the sound of firecrackers, and the entire village heard them. Since it was already noon, the villagers returned from the fields one after another. Some still carried farming tools to their homes when they heard the firecrackers.
“Is someone in the village celebrating a happy occasion? I just heard firecrackers.”
“It’s probably at the Su familys new house. I heard about this a while back.”
“Then we should hurry. I’m sure there will be good stuff there!”
“Come on, let’s go!”
Some villagers had already arrived home and were preparing a fire to cook lunch. However, they threw down the firewood and ran when they heard the firecrackers.
Many villagers gathered outside the Su family’s new house and looked at Su Fengmao on the beam. “Over here, Fengmao! Throw some here!”
“Throw some to me, Mr. Sul”
“Over here, do you see me?
Everyone greeted Su Fengmao and opened their hands, ready to receive something. Su Fengmao grabbed a handful of snacks and threw them down.
“Ah!”
“Hurry and grab it!”
The villagers were so excited when they went to receive the snacks. Those who missed the candies even picked them up from the ground. Su Binglan had wrapped the snacks and candies in a thin wrapper.
Those who managed to catch the snacks and candies smiled happily while the others missed and continued watching as Su Fengmao threw more down from the beam.
Su Fengmao threw and sprinkled the snacks left and right. The atmosphere seemed very lively.
Baili Jinghua hugged her son emotionally and asked, “Is this the village’s custom.
“Yes, it is. Everyone is here to join in the fun!” Su Binglan said.
In that era, there were no entertainment programs, and everyone’s life was routine. Therefore, the entire village would participate whenever there was a celebration. The villagers always knew what was happening in their village, so they would join in the fun.
Baili Jinghua said smilingly, “It’s pretty lively. I used to think the capital was great, but now I know this place is better. This is the life I want since it’s so lively and joyful.”
Baili Xihong laughed aloud as his mother smiled at him with teary eyes. Baili Jinghua would be happy if her son were happy.
Su Binglan noticed Baili Xihongs curious expression and ran over to snatch a snack from midair. Then she removed the wrapper and handed the snack to the little guy. “You helped us make this, right, Xihong? Here, try it.]’
