3:06This January the plant His heart is a little nervous and a little excited. He knows that tonight is the most urgent and most dangerous time for sister Mei He. The past room will let them rest, but they will not let them rest. They are not far away. They have seen Mei He's home. They are choosing a big red lantern, laughing and moon-like stars together. He saw Mei He's so excited. He slowly walked past, and every step was like a moon-like red lantern. Mei, we can talk about him. Mei took a picture of the smile on her face, and she was so shy. She didn't respond at the time. This time, she turned around. She acted as a father, forgot the Liang. Although Jia is a good friend, she chose Mei He's home.

4:08I think we can solve this. Jia said that she was nervous. I really hope you understand your distance. Mei, I did wrong. I hurt you. I understand now that I'm wrong. Mei asked Yao Zichun to express her affection. She has passed away for so long. I'm really not sure if we can return from the past. The demon living in the dark is more than rich, and the light is not light. I only want to have a new beginning. Is it right to have a group of people in the middle? Jia's mouth is like a cat. Maybe you can try it now. Mei is a little bit shy, and she is in the middle. Okay, she is a little bit shy, but we can try it. But we need time.

5:09Liang is in a relaxed position. She knows that this is a small progress, and is a new starting point. In the light of the light, they are in the world, and the river that is far away from the past. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. Yue Liang掛在天上照亮了中秋節市場 The moon hung in the sky, illuminating the Zonkyuji market. This market was filled with colorful lanterns, and the scent of yuebing floated everywhere.

6:14A bustling crowd gathered in front of the stalls, their faces glowing with the joy of the festival. In a certain corner of the market, Liang stood alone, his gaze searching through the crowd. His heart was nervous, and he was also a little bit nervous. He felt a bit nervous, but also expectant. He knew that tonight was the best opportunity to reconcile with his sister Mei. Past misunderstandings had distanced them, but he was eager to mend everything.

7:20Not far away, he saw Mei and Jia. They were picking out a large red lantern, their laughter and music intertwining. He saw Mei and Jia, and he was so excited to see Mei. Seeing Mei, Liang felt a tightness in his chest. He slowly walked over, each step feeling like crossing an insurmountable chasm. Mei. Liang, can we talk? Mei looked up, the smile on her face gradually disappearing, replaced by indifference.

8:21She didn't respond immediately. At this point, Jia turned around. His expression was complex as he looked at Liang. Although Jia was an old friend of Liang, he now chose to stand by Mei. I think we can resolve this, Jia said, trying to ease the tension. I really hope for your forgiveness, Mei.

9:22I did wrong and hurt you. Only now do I realize how terribly wrong I was. May bit her lip, her expression turning gentle. It's been so long, Liang. I'm really not sure if we can return to how we were. The cries of the vendors rose and fell, and the lantern swayed continuously. Liang took a deep breath. I just want us to have a new start.

10:25Zhongqiu means reunion, right? Jia interjected. Maybe we can now try it. Mei watched Liang, a hint of wavering in her eyes. Alright, she finally nodded. We can try. But it will take time. Liang smiled in relief. He knew this was a small step forward, but also a new beginning.

11:33Under the glow of the lanterns, the three of them strolled through the market, as if the past barriers faded away with them. On this full moon night, the completeness of Zhongqiu warmed everyone's hearts. From that moment on, Liang understood the importance of communication and began to learn to repair broken relationships with patients. The lanterns in the market continued to sway, lighting the road ahead of them. Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.
