Chapter 431: Celebrate
In fact, I was very happy in Cape Girardo, but it was also quite important to return to Abiline, because the baby twins turned one year old; Although the first birthday banquet is not very popular in the United States, Weida's family cares very much. Especially the catch week, which is what the children need to go through.
The first birthday banquet means that the baby has reached the first birthday, and the baby's parents invite relatives and friends to eat and drink to celebrate. The focus of the first birthday banquet is naturally to catch the week, which is said to be a custom that has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
The Zhou Ceremony is the main etiquette to celebrate the first birthday of young children, and this kind of etiquette has existed in the Northern Qi Dynasty in China, called "trial child". In the Song Dynasty, it became more popular, called "Zhou Trial", and later called "Grasp Zhou" in the folk. When a baby is one year old, relatives and friends usually give gifts. Wealthy families set up a "first birthday banquet", during which they set up calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, swords, abacus, scales and other utensils for children to pick, regard them as their favorites, and predict the future.
The younger the child, the more true and pure the spirituality and therefore the more accurate. Adults understand the truth. A newborn baby is like a piece of jade that has just been split from the stone, natural and natural, without being impregnated with the dust of the years and deliberately carved by the hearts of the world. All the actions of the baby contact begin with nature. The eyes of a baby covered in frankincense are pure and translucent, and he cannot see the chaos and filth of the world. The baby's eyes are the window to the spirit, the last glimpse of humanity to divinity. Therefore, we must hold a weekly ceremony for the baby when we are one year old.
In Chinese tradition, the Catch Zhou is a ritual held at the first birthday of a baby to predict his or her future and career orientation, and it can be regarded as a way to celebrate the first birthday. Simply. It is that parents show their babies items or toys that can represent hobbies, future and wealth in advance, and let the baby choose his favorite things without any inducement. Look at what your baby will hold first, what will come next, and how long it will take to hold each item, so as to predict your baby's future, ambitions, and career in the future.
In fact, Xiaoli also caught the week, and when the little guy turned one year old, he also held a catch week; The little guy grabbed a bear stuffed animal, and continued to encourage the little guy to grab other things, but Xiao Li, the child, only had a bear toy in his eyes. This also made Wei Da happy, it seems that the fat son is likely to inherit his mantle, which is to develop towards the rancher or the forest farmer.
Now Xiaoxin and Xiaoyou are also turning one year old. Naturally, this is also a grand event; Wei Da felt that his precious children's first birthday had to be taken seriously, he didn't care about spending a little more money or anything, this birthday was very important for the two little ones. So Weida and Angela are both planning, and they want the children to have more good memories when they grow up.
The two little guys, Xiaoxin and Xiaoyou, were sitting on the carpet playing their games, while Xiaoli looked at his parents with blank eyes; There are a lot of balloons at home now, and I watched my parents making zuò balloons. The little guy has hot eyes. He thought it would be fun to go out with a big balloon, and he had to be careful this time.
"Ryan, did you tell Mom that you broke a few balloons?" Seeing the fat son sticking to his side like kraft candy, and watching the little guy humming and unwilling to leave, Angela laughed and sent away this hateful little annoyance.
"I don't know, one, two" the little guy stretched out his chubby little white hand and began to count, but soon the more he counted, the more confused he became; Wei Da thinks that the little guy is still quite smart, but now he is just a little too young to count. This is a normal thing and there is no need for any tension at all.
"You go play with your younger siblings first. Daddy will make you a big balloon later. Wei Da gave the fat son a small reward, which was also a small test; The speed of the little guy playing with the balloon is too fast, and the speed of destruction is too fast, so it is better to get a thicker balloon for the little guy later, and these little balloons that decorate the house really can't withstand the toss of the little guy.
"Lele wants it too, I promise to give Lele a balloon." The little guy began to take inventory, he actually still owed a lot of balloons, just took the balloons out to play, this joy is to agree to send several balloons out.
With Xiaoli with younger siblings, this is also a reassuring thing; Although the little guy is very unreliable and naughty a lot of times, the little guy does take his younger siblings to play, especially now that his younger siblings have grown up, the little guy also thinks that his younger siblings have become more fun.
Watching the three little guys hugging each other and rolling on the carpet, watching Xiao Li shouting and playing games with his younger siblings, Wei Da and Angela looked at each other and smiled. It's a good feeling, and it's a joy to see the children getting more and more lively now, and watching the children grow up slowly.
"We're almost ready now, drinks, snacks and everything is ready, you guys are blowing up the small balloons now, let's put the balloons in some places at home first, and we don't have to worry about it tomorrow." Wei Da's mother likes to do things well in advance, she doesn't like to be crammed; So when you see that the balloons have been shot, you can decorate some places in the house first.
began to busily put balloons on the doors and windows; At this time, in fact, the happiest thing is Xiaoli and their children, especially considering the hobbies of the little ones, their rooms will also be decorated. It's just that sometimes the balloon will explode, and the sound will be a little scary; So Xiao Li is a little better, Xiao Xin and Xiao You's room won't have so many balloons.
"Second Dad, I'm here!" Xiao Lele is here, and this voice will definitely make Wei Da know that the little guy is coming; Especially soon, when I heard the shouts of Xiao Li and his children in the living room, Wei Da and Angela just laughed, and now these little guys made the family more vibrant.
"I don't believe in Catch Week, but I know it's a great expectation, a blessing to the children. When Joshua caught Zhou, the first thing he caught was Yin, which is what it means to be an official. The second one caught was the microphone. Then we learned that Joshua didn't really care if he was a politician or a singer, he just wanted to be a star. Emma helped set up the living room at home. was also joking with Angela.
"Ryan almost drove his grandparents mad when he caught Zhou, and he didn't want anything but bear toys. I think it's nice that way, and he loves animals as much as his dad. "Angela still cares a little about the two little ones, although they all know that this is just the nature of children, and there is a lot of chance; But this is a blessing for children, but also an expectation for children, parents of course hope that their children will be promising.
Moms started chatting about their topics. It's nothing more than the naughty nature of today's children and some parenting experiences, of course, they must also talk about skin care products and the like; Wei Da was not interested in these topics at all, and he couldn't interject at all. So this time. Weida still did what men should do.
"I heard that your vacation estate plan is on hold, I was against it at first, and the time is not yet ripe. I'm right, the road has to be taken step by step. You can't take too big a step all at once. Take every step steadily. The holiday estate is not bad, it's just not right now. "Wang Ye is a little gloating, this guy has always had opinions about the holiday estate plan.
"I was wondering, this resort is honestly a little inappropriate, but it's not impossible to do it. Tell me what kind of mind you have in mind when you oppose it from the beginning, and I think your conscience is very bad. After taking the half-eaten apple from the fat son and continuing to eat it, Wei Da also wanted to have a good chat with Wang Ye about this matter.
"It's not about your money being tight. Although the resort estate is tall, the investment is too large. I'm worried that your funds will be completely locked up. Wang Ye said with a smile, but at a glance, he knew that what this guy said was a lie, "I'm not worried about your investment failure or anything, the key is that your funds are locked, where can I cooperate with you to continue investing!" ”
glanced at Wang Ye speechlessly, Wei Da definitely didn't expect Wang Ye to have such careful thoughts; However, Wei Da also knows that Wang Ye's words are half-truths and half-truths, and if Wei Da really starts the development of the resort manor immediately, then there will definitely be no way to continue other investment projects.
"You really have to do what you can now, not that the holiday estate can't work, the point is that you really don't have that much money in your hands right now. I think your development has been a little smoother in the past few years, which also makes you seem to get a little carried away. You have to think about it now, you have three children now, you still have to think about everything, don't be confused and make a decision. Wang Ye also reminded Wei Da that there are some things that really need to be mentioned.
Wei Da thought about it, and it was indeed the case; Because the development of the past two years has been very smooth, Weida does have some excessive pride now. Because of his magical heritage, Wei Da also because it seems that it is not difficult for him to succeed, and he does have some impetuousness, or overconfidence.
It is true that Weida now has a magical inheritance, but sometimes it is necessary to contact the actual situation; It is not necessarily necessary to have the technology to succeed immediately, but also to consider the market and the current level of technology. Wei Da was indeed a little complacent for a while, because relatively speaking, the development of various undertakings was smooth sailing, and the current family was also harmonious and beautiful, which made Wei Da indeed a little slack.
Wang Ye's reminder is still very timely, Wei Da really needs to think about it now, and he still needs to make more preparations. For Wei Da, it is indeed not a high-minded thing now, now he needs more insurance and stability, what he needs is to minimize the risk. It's like an investment like a holiday estate, and it's a bit inappropriate to calm down and think about it now; Very simply, once the resort estate is developed, it is to completely invest almost all of its net worth, which is really a bit unsafe.
Although the investment plan of the resort manor has been put on hold for the time being, it has to be said that although this incident has brought Wei Da a little depression, it has also given him more reminders. It's not necessarily a good thing to be too smooth, and it's easy to get lost. Weida is not bad, and he has come to his senses without paying any price.
This is definitely a good thing, and if there is nothing to lose, then this plan is not a failure. Wei Da felt that it was time to have a good drink, also because now it was the first birthday party of the baby children, this was a time of double happiness, and it was a time to celebrate.
