Ghost Festival
Time passed quickly day by day, and six days after Shen's departure, he sent them news. The three Cao Shi brothers secretly inquired about each other's character, and then came to visit with gifts.

On July [-]th, Li Yao sent people to invite glutinous rice and dumplings into the palace. The two looked at the golden corn and said in a low voice; "This is the time when corn is the best."

Nuomi squinted at her elder brother; "In the past few days, you have eaten a lot at home."

"How can it be the same? Uncle and cousin planted these with their own hands. They grow in the palace. If you don't want to taste them, we can..."

Nuomi looked at his brother with contempt when he lowered his voice; "You are really worthless, if you want to eat something upright."

"Then it feels different. Don't you think it would be more interesting to eat secretly?"

Nuomi looked at her brother excitedly; "I can't afford to lose that man."

Tuanzi pursed her lips; "You are really getting less and less cute, when you were a child..."

"Stop, don't forget we are the same age, I remember when you remember, and I did when I was young."

"Brother, I'm much smarter than you. When I remember, you don't remember anything!"

The two walked and bickered all the way to the gazebo.

Li Yao looked at the two of them and smiled, "What are you talking about so happy?"

"My brother said he wants to eat corn!"

"Then pick a few tender ones, break off a few and cook them. The corn in this season is the most delicious."

Seeing that his sister didn't make trouble, Tuanzi touched his nose; "Is there any watermelon?"

"Well, I planted some in our yard, try it quickly and see if there are any delicious ones from the mountains."

"Brother Yao's planting is naturally delicious." Picking up a piece of glutinous rice, he ate it.

Tuanzi was also polite, sat down beside his sister and ate the watermelon wholeheartedly, while Wang Zhong was completely ignored by them.

Li Yao looked at the delicious food and handed them another piece; "When I go back later, I will bring some back and let my aunt and uncle taste it."

"it is good!"

"How is your uncle recovering from his injury?"

"There should be nothing wrong at the end of this month. I can get out of bed and walk now, but the palm print on my chest has not disappeared."

"Let him recuperate well at home, and come back to work after he recovers."

"Okay, it's fourteen today, Brother Yao and Uncle Li should go to bed early tonight! It's also best not to walk at night tomorrow." Nuomi thought for a while and reminded him.

"Ghost Festival, we will naturally avoid some taboos. It is said that the gate of ghosts will be opened on this day. I don't know if it is true." Li Yao looked at Nuomi and asked curiously.

Nuomi wiped her mouth gracefully; "It's true, but you can't see it, and I plan to catch a ghost tomorrow for fun."

Tuanzi only felt a shudder all over his body; "Sister, your joke is not funny at all, is it okay not to say something scary?"

Nuomi looked at her brother showing her small canine teeth, "How do you know what I'm telling is a lie."

"Why haven't I seen you be so taboo before?"

"That's because I've never been jealous, but you guys are different. Brother Yao, you'd better prepare more paper money, tributes and the like tomorrow."

Seeing that she didn't look like she was joking, Li Yao smiled and nodded.

After listening to Nuomi's words, Wang Zhong rubbed his arms involuntarily, his whole body was covered in goosebumps.

Both Nuomi and Tuanzi knew that Li Yao must have something to say when he called them here, and they didn't ask if he didn't tell them, because they both knew that they would definitely have to talk to them in the end, so they were not in a hurry.
