"It's amazing, it's called Mom."
"Oh Gas."
"Amazing, call Daddy."
"Oh Dosan."
"It's magical, it's grandpa."
"Oh, Kissan."
……
The ancestral house of the Sekiya family, from the grandparents Sekiya Konosuke and the next generation, to the next kind of grandchildren and women gathered, adding a unique vitality to the unique vicissitudes of the Japanese-style architecture built in the Edo period.
Today is the magical first birthday banquet of Guan Gu, the eldest grandson of the Guan Gu family. The whole generation of Guan Gu's parents is immersed in the joy of teasing their children. Guan Gu, who has just turned one year old and can babble, is very loved by the elders. Looking at his son with a smart face, his parents and uncle, Kenjiro Sekiya, who is the current head of the Sekiya family, was full of joy and gratification.
Killing Kenjiro Sekiya and his wife will not tell relatives and friends, Sekiya magic's first sentence is actually "Ya M butterfly"! Kenjiro Sekiya is afraid that this kid will grow up to be a messy nasty embryo, but fortunately, Sekiya's performance after that is very good, and it can even be said that he is talented. Guan Gu learned to speak very early and quickly, but the grammar accent is still weird, and he is still a child after all. The boy especially liked to read the newspaper with his grandfather, word by word, as if he could really read it. Sekiya Kenjiro was not very relieved, and it happened to be Sekiya's first birthday, so he naturally held this first birthday banquet, and relatives and friends came to the ancestral home of Sekiya's family. It also happens to be in accordance with the custom, try the magical interest of Sekiya. This custom is widely spread in East Asian countries, and we have all heard the name of this custom - grasping Zhou.
Grasping the week has a long history, is a traditional custom in ancient China, and is now a custom in East Asian countries to predict the future of the baby when the child is one year old. When the newborn is one year old, various items are placed in front of the child and left to be grasped, and the traditional commonly used items are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books, etc. The Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties already existed, "the customs of the south of the Yangtze River, the first period of the child's life is to make new clothes, the bath is decorated, the male is to use the bow and arrow, the pen and pen, the female is to use the knife, the ruler and the needle, and add the food and drink and the treasure clothes to play, put it in front of the child, look at its intention to take, to test the corruption, wisdom and foolishness, the name is the trial." "Nowadays, there are also modern objects such as mice and toothbrushes, and there are also images that are used instead of physical objects for babies to grab. The details vary slightly from place to place, but the custom in the Yokohama area is that the host family and guests prepare various items for the week together. When guests come to the first birthday banquet, they each bring one or two unique objects, that is, props for grabbing the week, and also as a congratulatory gift. Gift money is the same as the consistent custom of the mud bombardment country, and few people will give it.
In the restaurant of the ancestral house of the Guan Gu family, after the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. The low table for dining was removed, and everyone set up the objects on the tatami mats one by one. Most of the things prepared by the Sekiya family are related to cooking, such as high-quality kitchen knives, frying pans, stew pans, woks, soup spoons, flat spatulas, and chopsticks wrapped in tape...... Food-related things cover more than half of the tatami mats, and everyone understands what the elders of the Sekiya family are planning. The eldest grandson of the Sekiya family had better make inheriting Sekiya's cuisine the first priority.
Of course, grasping Zhou can't be all the same kind of thing, and you still need to save face. This is the time for relatives and friends to come forward. Distant relative Koichi Kondo brought a pair of sophisticated antique chessboards; Sekiya Shinnosuke's old friend brought a set of four treasures of the study; Guan Gu's distant cousin brought his treasured "Astro Boy" comics; Uncle Yagyu, a neighbor, brought a katana, which is said to be a replica of Toru Toru Tsumono in the Edo period......
In addition to more kitchen utensils, this time the week is also dazzling, with everything. Relatives and friends, parents and grandfathers looked eagerly at the protagonist of this catch Zhou - Guan Gu Magic. That is, our former SH traffic police Sekigu. Sekiya's eight-year-old sister, Sekiya Kagura, put her younger brother on the tatami mat, flicked the toddler's pink little face, and then laughed away.
Guan Gu first stretched his legs on the ground, bent over, and rolled twice before slowly crawling towards the pile of "treasures" on the ground. It took half a year to figure out that he should be reborn into Guan Gu Magic, one of the world heroes of "Love Apartment". According to the plot, the "original" Guan Gu Magic should have chosen the "Astro Boy" comic at the Zhou Banquet, and embarked on the road of a cartoonist after several struggles. Guan Gu, who has a diastolic plot, knows very well that there is no point in catching Zhou itself, no matter what Guan Gu chooses, his family will not have a second option for his cultivation besides cooking. So the choice of anything is actually the same, but! But! According to Yokohama's customs, what a child catches at the first birthday party is his own!! So, so, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't take the most valuable things?!
Guan Gu pretended to crawl left and right, and then couldn't help it anymore, and rolled over with a little whirlwind and fished the chessboard and Changzeng Yihu in his arms. Poor Guan Gu is still young in the end, Chang Zeng Yihu can be held in his arms, and the chessboard is not so much in his arms as Guan Gu lying on the chessboard.
"Hey, why is there a water stain on the chessboard? Such an expensive thing must be well maintained. Guan Gu An'an, who was lying on the chessboard, thought about it, and wiped it like a little money fan with his little hand that didn't grasp the sword on the water-stained place.
"Hey", the four Sekiya family members let out a sigh in unison, and Sekiya Kenjiro even scolded out: "This rebel!" "Hands on the tatami mat thumping. The guests shook their heads and sighed, or laughed silently. Guan Gu turned a deaf ear to this, and fell into the beauty of enriching his small treasury and couldn't extricate himself.
At this time, a distant but approaching voice sounded in Guan Gu's ears: "Can you see the child?" ”
Sekiya was interrupted by this strange sound and looked around for the source of that sound.
"Do you hear me?"
Guan Gu continued to search left and right for this voice, but he didn't find it, and his little face turned green with fright. This voice is so weird, it can't be a ghost, right? What about the "love apartment" in the world of urban emotional comedy? How can there be ghosts?
"Found it."
"Found it."
"O God Almighty! Thank you! ”
There was no room for sight in the valley, and the ghost looked up to see a man dressed as a scribe from the Heian period standing on a chessboard draped in a white cloth.
The man, with long purple hair that reached the calf and tied up the ends of the hair with a white headband, was wearing a light crimson undershirt, light green bloomers, and a white hunting suit. Blue eyes, lilac thin lips, red studs, holding a five-bone bat fan, wearing a high black hat, with outsiders incomparable to the warmth of jade, noble and elegant, showing the noble demeanor. What a turbid son. It's just that Guan Gu didn't have time to appreciate these at all. This guy doesn't touch the ground with his feet!
"Again, again, I'm back to earth."
Guan Gu couldn't hold it anymore, and roared milkily: "Oh gas, Tuske." (Mother, help.) As soon as his eyes closed, he fainted.
A phrase echoed in my head: "Hello, child." My name is Sawei Fujiwara. This name made Guan Gu's heart lake tremble, and the chess soul ??!! The last thought in his mind was: "My worldview has collapsed." ”
