Opening a Tavern in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174: Back home, cats and dogs are sleeping in clumps

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao also hurriedly bowed. Cheng Chumo said, "You are so kind to us, we really don't know how to repay you. These days in the tavern, we have also felt the warmth of home. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Qin Huaidao also echoed: "Yes, we will protect this place well. This place is like our second home."

Xiaoyu smiled and waved her hand: "You don't have to be so polite. Go quickly. You've been working hard these days. Go back and have a good rest and spend the holidays with your family."

Xiaoyu turned around and took out two more boxes of Seven Stars with the Moon mooncakes from inside the house, handed them to Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao, and said with a smile: "These two boxes of Seven Stars with the Moon mooncakes are for you as well. These are good things. Share them with your family during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"You've given so much to our tavern, and this is just a token of our appreciation."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao hurriedly took it, thanked him repeatedly, and turned to leave with the gift.

Yuyu waved her little hands from behind: "Goodbye, brothers, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

The three of them turned around, responded with a smile, and then gradually disappeared into the night.

Xiaoyu clapped her hands and said with a smile, "The remaining mooncakes are all ours. It's getting late, let's close the pub and go home."

As he spoke, Li Hao went to close the doors and windows of the tavern, while Yu Yu picked up the cats and dogs in the tavern.

Xiaoyu picked up the remaining mooncakes, and the family walked happily towards the house. The moonlight shone on them, reflecting their warm figures.

Yuyu looked at the Husky beside her, shook the mooncake in her hand, and said with a smile: "Hush, you can have some of these mooncakes. They are delicious."

But the Husky paid no attention to her and just kept howling on its own.

Yuyu frowned, walked up to the Husky, tapped its head with her finger, and said in feigned anger, "Awoo? You don't think you're a wolf, do you? Humph, why don't you even pay attention to me?"

As he said that, he patted its head gently. The Husky then looked up at Yu Yu, but quickly turned his head away and continued to whimper.

At this moment, the calico cat came over with light steps. It rubbed Yuyu's feet with its soft body and made a "meow" sound, as if to say, "Don't just think about the Husky, look at me too."

Yuyu looked down and saw it. A smile immediately appeared on her face. She squatted down and gently touched the calico cat's head. She smiled and said, "I almost forgot about you. You are also a little greedy cat. Do you want to eat mooncakes too?"

The calico cat seemed to understand and rubbed Yu Yu's hand again. Its well-behaved appearance was really endearing.

Xiaoyu looked at the two dogs and said to Li Hao with a smile, "Look at these two little guys. Although they are still small now, when they grow up and become bigger, they can help us guard the house. Then we can feel more at ease."

Li Hao nodded in agreement: "Yes, they look smart and will definitely be good guards in the future."

The family chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the house.

As soon as they reached the door, the Bichon Frise ran over happily, stretched out its little paws and kept scratching at the door, making a "woooo" sound from its mouth, as if eagerly urging them to open the door quickly.

That naive look made everyone laugh: "Hahahaha"

With a "creak", the door was slowly opened, and the lively Pomeranian rushed past everyone's feet like an arrow, slipped in first, shaking its furry tail as it ran.

Xiaoyu walked into the courtyard and said with a smile: "Alright, alright, everyone, stop making noises. Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. We must prepare well and celebrate this festival with great joy."

Yuyu tilted her head back, her big eyes full of curiosity and anticipation, and said crisply, "I've been waiting for you. What else have you prepared?"

Xiaoyu smiled and touched her head, then replied, "Nothing else. I've made all the necessary preparations. I'm just waiting to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival happily tomorrow."

When Yuyu heard this, she immediately smiled with her eyes curved. She took Xiaoyu's hand and shook it, muttering, "That's great. We can go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow."

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu lovingly, pinched her little face gently, and said with a smile, "Then you have to get up early tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to miss the fun. We still have to go to the lantern festival. If we get up in the morning, we can get ready together as a family and welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival with great enthusiasm."

Yuyu nodded vigorously and responded in a baby voice, "Yes, Mom, I will definitely get up early and definitely not stay in bed. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."

Yuyu raised her head, opened her big, bright eyes and looked at the night sky. She pointed at the bright moon in the sky with her little hand and said in a baby voice, "Mom, look, the moon is rounder today. It feels almost as bright as the Mid-Autumn Moon tomorrow."

As he spoke, he tilted his head, looking curious and happy, immersed in the beautiful moonlight.

Xiaoyu smiled and responded, "Okay, okay, the moon is indeed very round, it makes people happy just looking at it."

Then, she turned to look at Li Hao and said softly, "Hao'er, go put the mooncakes away. We've been busy all day and everyone is tired. Go and have a rest after that."

Li Hao nodded, said "OK", then walked forward to take the mooncake and walked into the house.

Xiaoyu waved to Yuyu and said gently, "Yuyu, it's time for you to go back too. You've been busy for so long. You should go to bed early and get enough rest so that you can go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow."

Yuyu nodded obediently, squatted down and petted the cats and dogs around her, muttering, "Okay, cats and dogs, see you tomorrow. You have to be good too."

After saying that, he stood up and skipped towards his house, looking back at the cute cats and dogs from time to time.

Xiaoyu looked at Yuyu, who kept looking back. She walked over to her with a smile, took her hand and said, "Okay, go back now. Stop looking. They are right here. You will see them as soon as you open your eyes tomorrow. Now you should go back and get a good sleep."

As he said that, he took Yuyu towards the house. Yuyu then came to her senses and followed Xiaoyu's footsteps towards her room.

Yuyu yawned loudly, rubbed his eyes, stretched and said, "Yawn, time to go to bed, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival."

Moonlight sprinkled in the yard, and the cats and dogs all found a comfortable place, curled up in the corner, or lying on the steps, in clumps. Over there, the local dog yawned lazily and comfortably.

They also seem to know that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
