On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, bright and early, Yang Ruxin and Xiaofeng made their way through the streets and alleys delivering gifts. They visited those who had shown kindness or helped their family. The gifts were modest – a package of mooncakes bought from town for each household, along with a package of brown sugar, a small jar of shrimp sauce, and a jug of osmanthus wine.
For families they were particularly close to, they would add either a pheasant or a rabbit.
Of course, the gifts for the third great-uncle, the fourth granduncle, and the old residence were a bit more substantial. In addition to the items above, there was also a piece of fine cotton cloth and a pair of new shoes that Erni had made especially for the two elderly ancestors during these past days.
