In a beautiful rural farmhouse lived Grandpa, Grandma, and little mouse Mili. When the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filled the yard, Mili knew the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching—Grandma's children and grandchildren would be returning home for a family reunion. The elderly couple were busy shaking down osmanthus blossoms to steam cakes and crushing nuts to make mooncakes, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Mili quickly wrote an invitation and entrusted it to the dove postman to deliver to his friends—field mouse, rabbit, squirrel, and hedgehog—hoping to celebrate the festival with them. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just as dawn broke, the slow-moving Uncle Turtle set off for their appointment, while his friends also hurried on their way, each carrying gifts such as wildflowers, carrots, and pine cones. That night, Grandpa's family sat in the yard to admire the moon and reunite, but Mili waited a long time for his friends. It wasn't until late at night that they finally arrived. Everyone sat under the osmanthus tree, sharing delicious food and joy. As the moon began to set, Uncle Turtle even carried the tired little creatures back home. The next day, the old man's family found the gifts in the yard and were overjoyed. Meanwhile, Mili also understood the warmth of the Mid-Autumn Festival amidst the reunion and friendship.

美丽的乡下农家小院里,住着老爷爷、老奶奶和小老鼠米粒儿。桂花香飘满院子时,米粒儿就知道中秋节要到了——老奶奶的儿孙们要回家团圆,老两口忙着摇落桂花蒸糕、碾碎坚果打月饼,忙得不亦乐乎。米粒儿也赶紧写下邀请信,托白鸽邮递员送给田鼠、野兔、松鼠和刺猬朋友们,盼着和大家一起过节。 中秋节当天,天刚蒙蒙亮,走得慢的乌龟大叔就出发赴约,朋友们也各自带着野花、胡萝卜、松果等礼物赶路。夜晚,老爷爷一家围坐院中赏月团圆,米粒儿却迟迟没等到伙伴们,直到夜深人静,朋友们才终于赶来。大家坐在桂花树下,分享着美食与欢乐,月亮西斜时,乌龟大叔还背起困乏的小家伙们返程。第二天,老爷爷一家发现了院子里的礼物,满心欢喜,而米粒儿也在团圆与友谊中,读懂了中秋的温暖。
