For Chen Wu, who was finding fault just now, Chu Jiaqiang didn't want to let him go like this, so he said to Chen Wu: "The song I sang just now is actually a duet, and it can be regarded as a kind of riddle, and each sentence corresponds to a riddle. Since you asked me to sing it, should you guess the mystery inside? ”

Hearing this, Chen Wu's face suddenly froze, he didn't expect the war to hit him so quickly.

"Let me think about it! By the way, I didn't hear it clearly just now, you can sing it a few more times. "Chen Wu is not fooling.

When Chu Jiaqiang heard this, he immediately wanted to vomit blood, and he had to sing it a few times, isn't this deliberately difficult?

At this point, a child immediately shouted, "I know, I know what." "This little guy, the adults in his own family often let Liu Sanjie listen, of course he knows.

"Oh? You know? Then let's listen to it, that's right, go back to Uncle Chen to buy you something to eat. Chen Wu immediately spoke.

"Ducks fight on the water, and big ships rise on the water; The lotus leaf water surface holds a parasol, and the mandarin duck water surface has a white head. Papaya bears a mother's neck, and bananas bear a heart; The grapefruit bears a comb, and the pineapple bears fish scales. The bodhisattva has a mouth but does not speak, and the gong has no mouth to chatter; The rich man does not walk with his feet, and the copper coin walks without his feet. "The kid was easy to carry.

"You kid, I haven't seen you so good at endorsement!" Chu Jiaqiang suddenly glared at him. He originally wanted to make things difficult for Chen Wu, but you little guy ran out to make trouble.

When everyone heard this, they laughed and said, "It sounds quite appropriate!" ”

When it was almost noon, everyone had more or less picked some, and the old village chief began to ask each group to count the number of people, ready to go back, and come back later.

The "summer" of "Rikyutsu" means "big", which means that the plants sown in the spring have grown upright. In ancient times, people attached great importance to the etiquette of Lixia.

On this day of the beginning of summer, the ancient emperor would lead the civil and military officials to the southern suburbs of the capital to welcome the summer. A summer ceremony is held. Monarchs and ministers all wear vermilion dresses, with vermilion jade pendants, and even horses and chariot flags must be vermilion, in order to express their desire for a good harvest and good wishes. In the court, "the summer day is opened, and the minister of civil and military affairs is given". The ice was stored in the previous winter and given by the emperor to the hundred officials.

Chujiazhai is a village with a far-reaching heritage. Naturally, it will also have its own customs. It was noon that day. In homes with children, eggs are boiled.

Boiled eggs have two uses, the first is for children to eat, and the second is for children to fight eggs. Egg fighting should be a game! It may be less common elsewhere and is generally in the south.

As the proverb goes: "Lixia chest hangs eggs, children do not boil summer" Boiled summer is a common abdominal swelling anorexia in summer, fatigue and emaciation, and children are especially prone to boiled summer.

Therefore, the rice is sticky rice. Rice mixed with peas. There are special dishes such as boiled eggs, whole bamboo shoots, and shelled peas on the table. Folk eggs eat doubles, bamboo shoots are paired, and it doesn't matter how many peas there are. According to folklore, Lixia eats eggs and crutches. Because the egg is shaped like a heart, it is believed that eating an egg will prevent the loss of heart and spirit.

When she got home, the second aunt hurriedly washed the glutinous rice and prepared to make glutinous rice. At the same time, he took out a little peas, and asked Chu Jiaqiang to take some eggs out. Although there are not many children in the family, except for Chu Jiawan, who is studying outside, there is only one child, Xiaobao, but eggs do not necessarily have to be eaten by children, and adults are also applicable.

"Your customs here are really strange!" Li Quan said.

"What's strange about this, it's not unique here in Chujiazhai. There are also many places, and there may be fewer eggs. Hong Lao said.

Subsequently, he also explained to everyone: "After the beginning of summer, it is a hot summer, in order not to make the body lose weight in the hot summer." Lixia should be a tonic. The proverb is prosperous, and the legs are also as strong and powerful as spring bamboo shoots, and they can wade long distances, implying legs. Shelled peas are shaped like eyes. In order to eliminate eye diseases, people ate peas to pray for a year that their eyes were as clear as fresh peas, and there was no disease and no disaster. ”

"If you haven't seen it, you'll know when you go out and watch those kids play." Chu Jiaqiang didn't explain much, sometimes there is really no reason to explain the customs.

At noon that day, every household boiled eggs. Eggs are boiled in shells and must not be damaged. Then soak it in cold water for a few minutes, then put on a woven mesh bag and hang it around your child's neck.

The children formed groups of three or five to play a game of egg fighting. The egg is divided into two ends, with the pointed one being the head and the round one being the tail. When fighting eggs, the egg head fights the egg head, and the egg tail hits the egg tail. Fight one by one, the breaker admits defeat, and finally separates the high and low. The winner of the egghead is the first, and the egg is called the king; The winner of the egg tail is the second, and the egg is called the little king or the second king.

Hearing this, some curious people had already slipped out to see how others played.

In the village, many children gather in groups of three or five, all of whom are usually good buddies or sisters. These little guys are shouting one by one, and they have all begun to fantasize that they are champions.

Chu Jiaqiang and the others looked at their eggs, those eggs had everything, there were eggs, duck eggs, and even goose eggs, and the goose eggs were still taken away from Chu Jiaqiang's house.

Moreover, these eggs are painted with some of their favorite images, like what Monkey King and so on, to put it simply, just draw a smiling face and so on.

"Look at my Monkey King, your Zhu Bajie is going to die!" A little guy shouted, and touched it with his duck egg.

At this touch, the duck egg suddenly cracked, and the egg white in the middle flowed out.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned and said secretly: What's the situation? Isn't it hard-boiled eggs? You're not a little daring! If you can't get the heat, you dare to come out and mix?

"Who? Who changed my duck eggs? The little fellow suddenly shouted loudly, very angry.

"You took it wrong? I took the raw duck eggs out and drew them, but I didn't pay attention to them, so I went back and took a look. Chu Jiaqiang was speechless.

Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's words, the little guy ran home, it was really embarrassing to throw himself at his grandmother's house, and the group of children behind him laughed wildly.

Those children shouted and fought at the same time, and they didn't pay attention to the onlookers at all, so they played with themselves and let others see!

"Haha! I've won, you're all defeated! Finally, one of the children said very arrogantly.

Chu Jiaqiang watched that guy compete, and always felt that there was something wrong with that egg. So, while the little guy was being proud, he took the egg in his hand. Sure enough, it should be made of wood, and a layer of dye is applied to the outside, and I don't know where this kid got it.

"You little guy is not kind!" Chu Jiaqiang said.

The others also took it and took a look, and immediately understood what was going on, and glared at each other. The little guy's face changed drastically, and he knew that he was wearing a compliment.

"You bastard!" The children who lost immediately scolded!
