Chapter 604: Red Eggs

PS: Thank you Miss LVDA for your monthly pass support!

When I went back, it was already late at night, and Mr. Liu and the children had already slept, leaving Chen Wu and these night owls still active.

Next, Mr. Liu and the others continued to take the group of little guys to the capital for a day, and then accepted the advice of Chu Jiaqiang and others to go for a walk in the northeast. This time I went by train, and now the train is also very fast, and it will be there in a few hours.

The people of the Wu family and the Tang family followed Yang Lao to Chujiazhai, accompanied by several young people. Chu Jiaqiang's uncle and others also took the time to go over, mainly to pay homage to Chu Jiaqiang's parents and recognize their relatives by the way.

Li Xiangdong learned last night that Chu Jiaqiang and others were going over, so he went to the city railway station with a few people in the village early to greet him. At home, the old parents have already killed pigs and sheep.

When their village learned that the people who had given them strong support last year were coming, they also helped. Without the strong support of Chu Jiaqiang and others, Li Xiangdong would not have been able to lead the villagers to make the current achievements together. Since last year, their average household income has increased by more than 20,000 yuan, which is two or three times less than the villagers in Chujiazhai, but it is definitely a surprise to them. Soon, seeing Chu Jiaqiang and the others, they hurriedly beckoned: "This way!" This way! ”

Along the way, seeing that the leaves of some trees outside the car turned red, Chu Jiaqiang and others felt that autumn was coming. In Chujiazhai, it is impossible to feel it, it seems that the four seasons are almost the same, and you can only look at the weather. The rainy season is almost spring, the thunder is more summer, and autumn is the most unfelt season. In winter, it is also known because of the cold.

The children who saw the great rivers and mountains of the motherland were naturally very happy, and they were always chattering on the train. There are never-ending words.

"Everyone's hard work, right?" Li Xiangdong smiled, and then helped carry things. It's mostly children's stuff, and I bought a lot of messy things, and I don't know what they think. There are some things in my hometown, but I still ignore the advice of others. Adults will not understand the mind of a child, just as a child cannot understand the distress of an adult.

"Uncle Dong, be careful! There were eggs I bought. Don't break it. A child said suddenly.

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiangdong and others were stunned for a while: What's the situation? Traveling thousands of miles to bring eggs back? Is there a "" mistake? Could it be that the eggs in the capital are particularly large? Is it particularly round?

Chen Wu and the others also smiled bitterly: "That's a red egg." There is no Chujiazhai, and the little guy has to take it back to show the people in the village. ”

In fact, it's not that Chujiazhai doesn't have it, but the villagers don't have the custom of eating red eggs, so they don't get it. These red eggs are not born. but after cooking. Dye or rub red with dye or red paper. The children didn't know it, but Chu Jiaqiang and others didn't expose it, destroying the pictogram of the red eggs in the children's hearts.

The tradition of eating red eggs exists in many ethnic groups in various places, and the main views are: oviparous mythology, auspicious things, totem worship, fertility worship and evil spirits.

There is such a folk song in Chinese folk: "Red eggs, full of skewers, eat your happy bun this year, eat your red egg next year." "Xi Bao Bao is a kind of wedding auspicious custom food, and it is commonly said: Xi Bao Bao to take back. Loved ones ate auspiciously.

The custom of red eggs also originated from the use of witch doctors to ward off evil spirits and disasters. The ancients regarded chickens as the chief of a hundred birds, and believed that they had the effect of subduing demons. Chickens are the accumulation of sun. The elephant of the south, the fire and yang essence are hot, so the sun crows. "Chapter 604 Red Eggs of the Mountains and Rivers Map", Chu Jiaqiang has read medical books deeply and naturally understands it. Old folk

The custom of divination with eggs is also prevalent; The ancients also thought that whenever there was a festive event, there would be a demon disturbance, or some specific solar terms and hours, there would be diseases and epidemics, so eating eggs was prevented. For example, the custom of "eating eggs on the third day of March" in some areas of the Central Plains and Southwest China, as well as the popular folk tradition of letting the newlyweds eat red eggs on the wedding night, can be deduced from the custom of red eggs to ward off evil spirits.

The others wiped their sweat, these little guys can really toss! Chu Jiaqiang and others don't make any comments, it's rare for people to come once, shouldn't they go back to buy things? Besides, there are no red eggs at home, and the eggs don't take up a place, so if they are not easy to break, they are quite easy to take.

"Hmmm! You have a light hand. Li Xiangdong said to a few young men from the village.

"Can I still eat these red eggs when I bring them back?" Someone said suddenly. Now that the weather is so hot, the food is easy to spoil, and although the eggs are still protected by eggshells, they are not released!

"It's okay, there's a crisper outside." That kind of fresh-keeping box is not an ordinary fresh-keeping box on the market, it is a heat-insulating device box, which is divided into two layers and foam. Those eggs had been frozen before, so they would be fine.

Even Chu Jiaqiang felt a little speechless, and he went back with a batch of eggs, I really don't know what to think. If those children knew how disappointed they were, these eggs were just ordinary eggs, but their appearance was colored.

That is, Jackton and those people will be so bored, crazy with the children, in order to get the red eggs back, and make a big fight to make these crisper boxes.

"Hmmm! Go back to my house and ice it again! Li Xiangdong said. He also didn't expose the truth, and sometimes let the child not know the essence, isn't it a kind of beauty.

Li Xiangdong had already hired an air-conditioned bus and was waiting outside! He took everyone over and prepared to go home. There are so many of these people, and when they go back, they have to be well settled. He also told the people in the village, and the villagers are also very welcome to move in. Especially the village chief, he is ready to pass the position to Li Xiangdong.

These places are relatively remote, and like Chujiazhai, the village head, village cadres and others can be appointed by the village head. Of course, I will also ask the opinions of the villagers, after all, it is not the old society now, and it is very important to be confused. Just like Chujiazhai, a villager meeting will be held to decide on some more important things "entertainment show".

Chu Jiaqiang found that Mr. Liu was very silent all the way, and there was some nostalgia and some emotion in his expression.

"Teacher, have you been to the Northeast?" Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but ask.

Teacher Liu smiled faintly: "I was born in the Northeast, do you think I have ever been here?" ”

Chu Jiaqiang and the others were all surprised, and it was only now that they knew that the teacher was from the Northeast. But it's very strange, others say that the local accent can't be changed, but Mr. Liu's voice can't hear the accent of the Northeast people.

They don't know that when Mr. Liu was very young, he carried a gun and followed the Red Army to fight devils, and after so many years of wandering, he almost broke into the whole of China, what have they never heard? If you have more contact, the local accent will slowly change, especially after staying in Chujiazhai for thirty or forty years, many things have been diluted. Time can change everything, and even the local voice is no exception.

"Mr. Liu, you are actually from the Northeast? Where exactly? Let's take a look. When Li Xiangdong heard this, he was suddenly surprised.

Teacher Liu didn't seem to want to recall: "I forgot, I didn't go back when I was twelve years old." And there's nothing to miss, I'm the only one left in the village, and it's not interesting to go back! ”

When they heard this, they fell silent. In the past, the devil's three-light policy, the first thing to bear the brunt of was their northeast, how could they not understand? (To be continued.) )
