The Stars in Your Eyes

Jian Ge

"Uncle Jiaaaannn!!!"

Jian Kang Lu kneels right away to catch the red ball running into him. His 4 years old nephew looks like a cute ball inside that red coat. This year's autumn is windy and children need to wrap up when they play outside.

"Mmm.. Xiao Ming is bigger than last week we met. Good job!"

"Yes, that means I can get my reward???"

Jian Ming's round eyes look at him with hopeful looks, and his round cheek blushed with pink tint after running towards him so fast  Luckily he didn't trip this time. Jian
Ming used to cry if he tripped by himself when running. But his family taught him that he had to stand on his own and never cried just because he tripped. If he doesn't cry, his parents will reward him with a hug and 1 scoop of his favorite ice cream or carrot cake.

"Of course! Uncle Jian never lied. What games do we wanna play today?"

"Let's play football, uncle. Ask dad to play with us too."

"Okay! Let uncle Jian greet your grandpa and grandma first, after that  that we can play. Is that okay for our Xiao Ming?"

Xiao Ming giggled and held his hand and dragged him inside. His small fingers wrapped around Jian Kang Lu's wrist. Both of them
talking while walking. Usually Jian Kang Lu will ask about his friends, what kind of new things he learned at kindergarten, and tease him if Jian Ming said he didn't learn anything.

His father, Jian Shen, is 60 years old this year. His hair still had lots of black colour compared to his colleagues around his age. People can't see that this old man turns 60 this year. He looks 10 years younger and still looks handsome in his late age. His body is still well
maintained.

His father sits on the sofa of their living room next to a big window facing the garden outside. His brother is sitting across from him, they seem to be talking about something serious. Maybe the financial market again.

Jian Shen used to work as vice president in a big trading company. He retired 5 years ago,
but sometimes still invests in the stock market. They're not a filthy rich family, but more than enough to support his 2 children. His childhood house already moved into this luxury housing complex 20 years ago. His father did quite well.

After Jian Kang Lu greets his dad. he asks where his mom is. He already guessed that his mom is in the kitchen preparing the Mid Autumn lunch feast with his sister in law. And his mother just walked into the living room. Lin Caihong also looks younger than her real
age. She turns 56 year old this year. Jian Kang Lu's good looks are inherited from his parents. But his elegant posture and gentle smile definitely passed down from his mom.

Since they live in the same city, Jian Kang Lu always tries to spend every Sunday with his family. This time differences only the lantern
decoration outside the gate, they will celebrate the Mid Autumn festival together.

Every Mid Autumn his mother will cook their favourite beggar chicken. His mom never cook
moon cake, she said that the moon cake from W hotel definitely tastes much better than her own. So she doesn't want to waste her effort.

"Hi Mom, how are you? What time will we have lunch? I want to play football first with Xiao Ming"

His mom hugged him back and told him to play only for 30 minutes. Since it's also windy
Outside. And remind him to change his clothes first into a more comfortable outfit.

Jian Kang Lu invited his brother to play together. Football is best played with more people. His father told his brother to play
together and they can continue to talk about the stock market later after lunch.
