49. Frolicking customs
Human civilization has developed numerous habits in the process of evolution. Many habits, whether good or bad, have formed customs after they have a certain degree of recognition and popularity. These customs have been passed down from generation to generation and have been preserved.
Many of the customs in Eastern culture originated from the ancient civilization ---- China. After all, China has a vast territory, many ethnic groups, and thousands of years of ancient culture. Add to that China's long-term prosperity.
Attracting the intersection of many cultures, there are more traditional customs in China. Although many customs have been abandoned as bad practices. However, some strange customs in Chinese culture are still tenaciously continued.
In Shasha's hometown, there is a custom of honoring the stove, which is always remembered by the old people. Especially when the housewarming is happy, the first thing is to pay homage to the stove. That is, inviting relatives and friends to gather, similar to congratulating the housewarming.
The only difference from the housewarming is that the family and friends who are going to be relocated have to do it in their new home. And you have to use the stove in your new home to cook on the fire, which is called a stove fire. At the same time, all relatives and friends are not allowed to bring gifts and red envelopes.
Just bring some lettuce. And it's not limited to high or low, as long as you have the heart. Originally, Sasha was very disdainful of this kind of custom, which has a strong superstitious color. However, she really can't screw her mother and mother-in-law.
I had no choice but to accommodate the wishes of the old people and hold this kind of sacrificial activity that is quite sacred in the hearts of the old people. Don't want anything else, just to make the old people happy! She had thought of a ritual like this.
Just close the door of your own family to celebrate. However, the old people were not happy. It has to be said that the more people come, the more prosperous their family's life will be, and the more auspicious and happy their future life will be. Not to mention, she had to be forced to invite her relatives and friends.
In desperation, Shasha had to call his girlfriends one by one and invite them to come to the house as guests. And the rules of this event have been repeatedly emphasized. She didn't want her girlfriends to turn her home into a wet market.
I repeatedly emphasized that it was just a symbolic way to bring a little food. Almost all of them ask the question the moment they receive the call: What is a stove fire? How to honor the stove fire? Why do you want to worship the stove fire?
Shasha, who couldn't cry and laugh, had to answer in diplomatic terms, repeatedly telling her girlfriends who asked her: This is just a sacrificial dinner. I don't know anything else. It's not that she doesn't bother to answer these questions.
It's that she really has a hard time answering these questions. She can only cope with these diplomatic rhetoric. Fortunately, almost all of the girlfriends put their minds on the focus of the dinner. Not many people care about how much activity the stove fire is.
But Yao Jiaxin is an exception! She's the only one who is different! Her first reaction after receiving the call was very surprised and she asked, "'Make fire'?" Isn't it just drilling wood to make fire? ”
Crying and laughing, Shasha had to explain helplessly: "I'm dizzy, do you think our family lives in the 21st century BC? It is the 'stove' of the stove. A stove is a stove for cooking. ”
"Why should you respect a stove for cooking? I haven't noticed, why are you so superstitious? ”
"Who told you I'm going to pay respect? Those are my mother and mother-in-law, so I have to force us to respect······"
"What's the use of a stove? Can you make a fortune or what? Yao Jiaxin still asked puzzled.
"Almost! The old people said, "Auspicious or something······"
"Really? Can you really make a fortune? Then hurry up and tell me how to pay respect? What do I need to bring when I go? I must pay respect. I also hope that the stove will bless me with great wealth. ”
I don't know if Yao Jiaxin wants to make fun of Shasha, or if she really doesn't understand this. Anyway, it's a serious one, and I keep asking Shasha. At the end, Sha Sha blamed angrily: "Are you crazy about money, or what's the matter?"
How many people have you seen who can make a millionaire out of the stove? Did you deliberately tease me······"
"Hahaha····· Who, who is deliberately and intentionally ridiculing you. Isn't that what you said? That's good, now it's time to blame me······" Yao Jiaxin asked Shasha with a smile.
"Cut, you know the way, that's just a custom. It is also said that respecting the stove fire can make a fortune······ It's not you who became the heart, is it still mine? ”
"No, I'm learning from you. So what do you do with the fire? ”
"What are you doing, what else can you do? Aren't we just trying to make the old man happy·····
"O filial daughter! A rare filial daughter! ”
"I said you're not poor? I've been kind enough to treat you to a big meal, and you're not done yet. Are you here or not? Sha Sha was completely angered by Yao Jiaxin's cynicism!
"Go! It's rare that you invite us to a big meal, how can you not go! However, it's all you say. What a big meal you invited us to······"
"That's it! Don't ramble on and on. I won't let you eat bran vegetables. Whoever is hungry will not starve you little gluttonous cat. Okay, I don't have time and you're poor. Bow! Yao Jiaxin smiled bitterly after hanging up the phone.
She didn't understand what it was. I don't know what dishes I'm going to bring tomorrow. Anyway, just remember that Shasha said, symbolic is fine. She went around the supermarket and didn't think it was better to bring that dish.
Because Sasha has repeatedly emphasized to almost everyone that you can't bring fresh vegetables, and if you can't eat it, it will be bad. They don't lack anything in their refrigerator. Just let them symbolically bring a point. I really can't find anything to bring.
Yao Jiaxin took a bag of pickles. What she never expected was that their girlfriends all brought pickles to participate in the stove fire. I don't know if the rustling of the road is deliberate, or what.
So he put the pickles they had brought with them neatly on the table in the kitchen. The bunch of vegetable varieties brought by relatives and friends is particularly dazzling. Tian Tian is really embarrassed.
I didn't have anything to say: "Can't all the dishes be put here?" It's like a grocery store. Sasha, I'll help you put the food in the fridge. ”
"The fridge was full early. If there's nothing to do, just put it there. Will you use it later? ”
"What? What are you doing with pickles? Your so-called feast isn't just for us to nibble on pickles, right? Meng Meng asked embarrassed and surprised.
"You're so smart! Don't you like to eat pickles? You see, you're all here with pickles. How nice that is! I don't have to worry about making it difficult to reconcile. Pickles are also good! Salty, spicy and delicious, it's easy to eat······"
"No, not like you. When you called us, you opened your mouth and said that you would invite us to a big dinner······"
"Yes, yes. I also asked you a special question. You have repeatedly assured us that you will definitely let us have a big meal. Won't let us eat chaff. Why is this a pickle? Yao Jiaxin also nodded like a chick pecking rice, echoing the sweetness.
"I've seen people who are not ashamed, but I have never seen you like this. A pack of pickles per person, and I was embarrassed to ask me for a big meal. You can do it! I really prepared big fish and meat for you, and you were embarrassed to eat it. ”
"What's that? It's you who have repeatedly emphasized on the phone that you want us to symbolically express it. Why is it changing again now? Shasha, there is no such unrighteous as you! Why don't we go out and buy you big fish and meat? ”
"Cut, don't be pretty. If you want to buy it early, you still need to pretend to be here? Okay, I'll just kid. You see, my fridge is already full, and I still lack your green onion.
Remember, though. You all owe me a big meal, one by one, and no one is indispensable······"
"If you want to say that, you still owe us a bag of pickles!"
"Yao Jiaxin! Are you short of pickles? It's still a power outage in the head. You're just got caught with a bag of pickles and brought back a big meal. And, it's still one meal per person. You're not stupid, you should be able to count this account, right? ”
"You're shrewd! Are people stupid? I—I'm not going to say that. Shasha, you are really, don't you just have a big meal, you just want to take me to the ditch? You're underestimating my IQ, aren't you? Or I'll ask ·····."
"You said it yourself. Hey, Rustle your savior is coming·····"
"That's a good idea! Remember, our Shin Shin owes you a big meal, and if you want to eat a big meal, you can find her······"
"How, what's going on? Why did you eat me again? Not like you? Shasha, you're too unrighteous! It's all you, it's you who took me into the ditch·····"
"Huh? Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss. Ah·····h What's my business? A few girlfriends and Sha Sha were chattering to avoid Yao Jiaxin's frolic.
"Rustle, rustle. Ask your classmates out for dinner. ”
"It's coming, it's coming. The greedy cats are out for a big meal. Shasha promised her mother while urging her laughing and slapping girlfriends. When they arrived in the living room, they were all stunned. It's not just a table of big fish and big meat.
Even their favorite delicacies from the mountains and seas are available. Even though they were all hungry for each other. But because of the presence of Shasha's relatives and elders. They still controlled their stomachs with reserve.
Try to make yourself not look like someone who has never seen the world, earthy and greedy. They also try to maintain a rare ladylike style. Shasha's family also saw their restraint in addition to being polite.
He smiled and said, "Shasha, you greet your classmates." I went out to greet the guests. You're all old classmates, so don't be inhibited. Eat and have fun, just like you're in your own home. ”
"Aunt Xie Xie!"
"Go ahead, go Mom. I'm here here. Sasha replied and pushed her mother out of the house.
"Alright, don't pretend to be hungry cats, let's eat. It's really hard for you to pretend to be a lady······"
"What do you mean?"
"That's it, it's like you're a lady······"
"Alright, the big meal can't stop your mouths. I can tell you, the limited meals are on a first-come, first-served basis······"
"It's really easy to change! Iron roosters are iron roosters everywhere, and they are still so picky at a big meal. Hey, you hungry wolves, leave me some······"
"The! Who made you bang ······ stop"
Before Yao Jiaxin finished speaking, these fake ladies who were gluttonous rushed to grab lobsters and hairy crabs! I don't know if the greedy cats are all female, or the greedy women have latent in the genes of gluttonous cats.
Anyway, their gluttony is easily reminiscent of the refugees in "1942". If nothing else, their gobbling up will also surprise those educated parents.
None of them could believe that these were highly educated college students. This is simply a refugee who hasn't eaten for many days. Even the refugees will not rob like them. What's more, they are still a group of beautiful college students.
However, if you really think that they are not qualified, you are wrong. In fact, they are just playful and gluttonous. What's more, it's still at the dinner party where girlfriends are invited.
Then they are not like wild horses that have escaped the reins, frolicking and indulging to their heart's content. No, Yao Jiaxin in order to keep his loot: lobsters, hairy crabs, and seafood. He kept spitting on the delicious food that was already on his plate.
In this way, Meng Meng still took the hairy crabs that Yao Jiaxin grabbed that had been spitted on them, rinsed them with boiling water and ate them. In a hurry, Yao Jiaxin yelled at Shasha: "Look at it, look at it, you are really."
Won't you have more hairy crabs for these gluttonous cats? You see, they're going crazy. And you, what are you like? I haven't eaten hairy crabs for hundreds of years, or how can I get them? Just for a bite of hairy crabs, they are about to become bandits.
Hip-hop, hee-hop, crazy. She doesn't look like a girl at all. See how you still get married······"
"Yo, you're talking about you old virgin, right? We're all transformed people. We're not girls, it doesn't matter what you say. But you girl, don't rob us. ”
"Just, yes, you have to pay attention to your ladylike image. I won't be able to marry in the future. Then take them all. 'It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't care······ Haha·····"
"You, you! I—I've really convinced you bandits! Shasha, you don't care? Don't forget, you're the host, you're the host! Yao Jiaxin pretended to be angry and blamed her laughing girlfriends.
