Chapter 169 Full Moon Banquet

Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and Yuan Xi wants to give someone a ring, but there is no way to find a customized one, so she can only buy whatever is available in the store.

I just bought a men's diamond ring that was in stock at the Cartier counter.

Yuan Xi put the diamond ring in her bag and went shopping with Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan for a while. Considering that Yuan Xi had just come out of confinement after giving birth, it would be better to rest instead of shopping.

When Yuan Xi returned to Yunsen Court, he couldn't wait to see the two babies.

Huo Shiyan followed into the baby room and chuckled, "The child can't run away."

Yuan Xi said: "I haven't seen Lele and Anan for four hours."

Yuan Xi picked up Lele and took a deep breath of the milky fragrance on Lele's body.

In two days, it will be Lele and Anan’s full-month banquet, which will be held at the Shiyi Hotel. Although it is a full-month banquet for the children, the two children will not go to the Shiyi Hotel.

Firstly, the baby is still weak after just coming out of confinement, and secondly, we are afraid that someone with ulterior motives may target the two children.

The day before the full moon banquet.

Yuan Xi followed Huo Shiyan to the hospital to visit Fu Yixian.

Fu Yixian's ward was very quiet, with only the occasional noise of machines.

When the two of them entered, Fu Yixian was already standing at the window looking at the distant room.

"Yi first."

Fu Yixian turned around and looked at Huo Shiyan and Yuan Xi beside him. His voice was hoarse and he spoke a little slowly: "Sister Xiaoxi?"

"Brother Yixian." Yuan Xi nodded and called out.

Fu Yixian chuckled and said slowly: "Congratulations on having twins. I will try my best to attend the full moon banquet tomorrow."

Yuan Xi said: "It's great that you can come. Shi Yan has been hoping that you can wake up."

The door of the ward was pushed open again, and Fu Qin and Ren Tian came in. "Brother, I heard that you can speak now?"

Fu Yixian said: "Gang, can speak."

Ren Tian heard the man's hoarse voice and fiddled with her fingers nervously.

Fu Yixian looked at Ren Tian who was hiding behind Fu Qin. He frowned slightly and glanced at the protruding belly under Ren Tian's thin figure.

Fu Qin followed Fu Yixian's gaze and said, "Brother, your baby is more than five months old. Do you want to touch it?"

Fu Yixian withdrew his gaze from Ren Tian's face, "It's more than five months, the baby can still be aborted..."

Ren Tian covered her abdomen tightly and looked at Fu Qin with a frown.

Fu Qin said, "How can you abort five-month-old twins? Besides, when my aunt passed away, she was looking forward to the birth of these two children."

Fu Yixian slowly asked Ren Tian: "Do you want to keep the two children?"

Ren Tian bit her lip and said, "Yes, if you don't want two children, just give me the 200 million your mother promised to give me.

I won't let the child affect your life. I know you and your girlfriend hadn't broken up when you were in a coma...

If you are worried that me and the child will affect you and your girlfriend, there is no need to worry. After I take the money, I will run away and will not let the child appear in front of you and your girlfriend again."

Fu Yixian frowned slightly when he heard the word "girlfriend". "If you want to give birth to the child, you have to stay in the Fu family. I won't let you take the child away. You have to remember that if you stay, you will be the mistress of the Fu family."

Fu Yixian spoke word by word with great effort, but even so, there was still a sense of superiority and oppression.

Even though Yuan Xi has been in the workplace for six years, he still feels an invisible pressure.

Ren Tian put her hand on her belly. The mistress of the Fu family was so tempting that she couldn't give up. "Okay."

Fu Qin then smiled and said, "Brother, it's great that you are willing to accept Ren Tian. I thought you would force Ren Tian to have an abortion for your girlfriend. Then I would be guilty of a great sin."

After all, it was Fu Qin who tricked the little girl into giving birth to a child. Fu Yixian said, "I don't have a girlfriend."

"But that Mi Yi said she was your girlfriend!"

Fu Qin said: "Isn't it?"

Fu Yixian said, "Just an ex-girlfriend."

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyan, and said to Fu Yixian and Fu Qin: "We won't disturb you. Come early to the baby's full moon banquet tomorrow."

Fu Qin nodded and said, "Okay."

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan left the hospital and got into the back seat of the car.

Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan: "I didn't expect Fu Yixian to accept Ren Tian. He should have found out about Ren Tian's background, right?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Yixian and I grew up in an environment where his parents were not in love with each other. For him, his partner can be anything, as long as he can fulfill the duties of the wife of the Fu family after marriage."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and said, "What about you? What is your other half to you?"

Huo Shiyan said: "When I realized the concept of a significant other, I decided on you."

Yuan Xi smiled gently. In fact, Huo Shiyan’s liking for her might not be love, but just a childhood obsession?

However, Yuan Xi did not want to explore whether it was a childhood obsession or love. Now, such an ordinary life is also good.

After returning from the hospital, Yuan Xi took a shower and then went over with Shi Zhen the procedures for Shi Yi's full moon banquet tomorrow.

Yuan Xi is from Jiangcheng, and his grandparents are also from Jiangcheng.

Yuan Xi and Grandma Shi also hoped that in addition to holding the full-month banquet at the Shiyi Hotel, they would also hold a full-month ceremony at the Huo family's old house according to Jiangcheng's customs.

The customs in Jiangcheng are quite complicated. When a child is one month old, one needs to worship the ancestors and offer sacrifices to the Bodhisattva to pray for their blessings on the child.

Grandpa and grandma also need to prepare two plates of gold and silver utensils, as well as yellow paper folded with various scriptures. Yang Ying and Chu Qing asked Yuan Xi early in the morning whether they want to follow the Jiangcheng full moon wine custom.

After receiving Yuan Xi's affirmative answer, they had already made preparations and were now preparing for tomorrow's full moon wine customs together in the Huo's old house.

On the day of the Lantern Festival.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan took their two children to the Huo family's old house.

The last time Grandma Shi held a full-month banquet according to Jiangcheng custom was when Huo Shiyan was born, but she didn't hold one when Xiaohuo was born.

At that time, grandma could not even remember the procedures of worshiping ancestors and Bodhisattvas at the full moon banquet in Qingjiang City.

Fortunately, Liang’s grandparents came to help early in the morning.

Yuan Xi was still afraid that Yang Ying and Chu Qing would have some disagreements with Liang's grandparents, but today they were very respectful to Liang's grandparents, the only ones who knew clearly about the customs and procedures of the full moon in Jiangcheng.

After lighting the candles, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan each held a child and bowed to the candles.

In fact, Yuan Xi didn't believe in these things before, and she once thought that this superstitious custom might be broken by their generation, but she still chose to hold a full moon banquet for her child according to Jiangcheng's superstitious customs.

She also wanted to give her children the best wishes, hoping that the gods and Buddhas and the ancestors of the Huo family could bless her two babies to grow up safely and healthily.

The Fu family’s old house and the Huo family’s old house are close to each other.

Early in the morning, Fu Qin, Fu Yixian and Qian Yiren came together.

Looking at the large table of offerings to the Buddha placed at the Huo family's place, which included many Buddhist scriptures she had never seen before, and gold ingots folded from yellow paper and tin foil, Fu Qin chuckled and said, "This is the first time I've seen a full moon banquet held like this. It's quite novel."

"It's not a novelty, it's superstition."

Qian Yiren frowned and said, "Yuan Xi is a graduate of Jiang University after all. I don't know why he would be so foolish as to follow these superstitious customs?"

Qian Yiren: "This is really too old-fashioned. It's the 21st century. Apart from Yuan Xi, which young people with higher education would still follow these feudal and superstitious etiquette? Especially since Shi Yan has returned from studying abroad, it's really unfair to Shi Yan to follow these ignorant feudal and superstitious etiquette."
