Chapter 328: Big Brother Doll
Shen Qingzhong and Luo Hailing are both from the Guangdong Provincial Military Region, and this time they went back to Jingu to meet their parents, and the two saved up for a long vacation.
The whole Shen family agreed with this marriage, and planned to choose a day to set up a few tables of banquets to invite relatives, friends and neighbors to have a lively time.
In fact, according to the meaning of Shen Qingzhong and Luo Hailing, it is almost the same to simply get a certificate, then buy some cigarettes and melon seed candy, and hold a tea party wedding.
Shen Yunhua and Chen Yonglan's parents felt that they had no opinion, but Old Man Shen and Mrs. Shen disagreed.
The old couple adheres to the tradition, and feels that the Shen family finally has a happy event, so it should be grand and lively, and it must not be perfunctory.
Shen Qingzhong and Luo Hailing couldn't do it, but they had a tight holiday time, so they didn't look at the yellow calendar or pick the day, and they would hold a wedding banquet tomorrow.
Shen Yunqi happened to be here today, if he didn't come, Old Man Shen would have to go to the village department to call him after eating.
The three generations of the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to deal with the rough processing and the ingredients to be used on the table tomorrow.
The pickled ones that should be marinated and the ones that should be fried are also fried in advance, and now is the hottest time, so I am afraid that the meat will spoil tomorrow.
Duan Huan rolled up his sleeves to help, but was kicked out by Mrs. Shen.
Shen Yunqi also drove Shen Qingzhong out and went to the black market in the city to buy things.
"Little fish, do you want to go to the river with your uncle and grandfather to catch fish?" Old Man Shen sat on the threshold with fishing gear and waved boredly.
Jumping up excitedly, he went to help Old Man Shen carry the fishing net.
Old Man Shen walked on the road to the village with Duan Huan, and people kept greeting him on the way.
"Second Uncle (bai), whose young sister are you bringing here?" It was Old Man Shen's nephew who spoke.
Old Man Shen said happily: "This is my niece and nephew, Xiao Yu'er, call the fifth cousin!" ”
"Hello fifth cousin!" Huan has always been very generous about the title of seniority, and the old man lets him call whatever he wants.
Huan Huan followed Old Man Shen along the way, and found that the name of Jingu people was particularly interesting.
From the old people with white hair and beards to the children of a few years old, they all call them "sister" when they see this strange girl.
When asked about Shen Qingzhong's marriage, they all called Shen Qingzhong the "second brother".
"Uncle and grandfather, isn't Brother Qingzhong the boss? Why do others call him second brother? Wan Huan asked curiously.
Old Man Shen nodded, "Your brother Qingzhong is indeed the second." ”
"What about Big Brother?" Could it be that the original boss above Shen Qingzhong died.
Old Man Shen laughed, "The eldest brother is on the offering table in the hall, don't you see?" ”
"Isn't that just a clay statue?" Huan Huan was surprised.
On the offering case of the Shen family hall house, there is indeed a clay doll statue with rough carving and mottled oil paint.
But a clay doll is the boss, and the children in the family are ranked last, what is the reason.
Through Old Man Shen's detailed explanation, Duan Huan understood the truth.
It turns out that Jingu has the custom of going to the Tianhou Niangniang Palace to ask for a child, and the way of asking is also very interesting.
Kowtow incense naturally did not mention, but when he finally left, he had to steal one from a table of small clay figurines enshrined under the feet of the mother.
Stealing a champion may give birth to a scholar, stealing a huqin may give birth to a person who walks the streets and alleys, and stealing a robe and glasses may give birth to a bookkeeper.
In short, the mystery here lies in the word "stealing", if it is seen when stealing, it will not work.
Cousin Shen Yunhua and cousin aunt Chen Yonglan had no children for several years after they got married, so they went to the temple to steal a clay doll.
Cousin Chen Yonglan tethered the clay doll home with a red thread, and then called the clay doll the first child in the family, ranking the eldest.
Shen Qingzhong and Shen Qinghao, who were born not long after the Shen family, naturally had to call this clay doll "big brother".
It is not an exception for the local people to do this like the Shen family, and many people have invited a big brother of a mud doll at home.
Many children in the family start from the second line, so there is a saying "there is no big brother in Jingu".
After the old man Shen finished telling the story, he sighed and said: "In the past few years, there has been a lot of commotion everywhere, and the craftsmen of the Tianhou Temple have run out, otherwise you can wash the big brother of the doll and marry again!" ”
Huanhuan's eyes widened at the boss, and they all said that it was difficult to protect the mud Pusa crossing the river, and this mud doll brother saw the water, and he couldn't melt it?
And the big brother of the mud doll can still marry? Sister-in-law won't be a mud doll too, right?
Old Man Shen explained to Duan Huan:
"This doll washing, it's not really washing with water, but taking the doll back to the doll shop near the Tianhou Temple, asking the clay master, adding some mud, pinching the doll bigger, and growing up with the younger brother at home.
In fact, when you celebrate the age of twenty, you should invite another female clay doll in the Tianhou Temple to marry the clay doll brother.
But at that time, I happened to run into the four olds, and the lay craftsmen in the Tianhou Temple ran out, and it never worked! ”
Old Man Shen said with great interest, and he was full of fun, and the old and the young soon arrived at the river.
Old Man Shen jumped onto the boat with vigor, and was about to turn around to help Duan Huan, when he saw that Duan Huan had jumped lightly on the boat.
"Xiaoyu'er, when you jumped down, I didn't even feel the boat shaking, and my kung fu has improved a lot compared to a few years ago!" Old Man Shen said appreciatively.
He smiled and said, "Uncle, if I don't make any progress, then the time I get up early every day to practice martial arts might as well be used for a big sleep!" ”
"There is such a thing as fist and foot kung fu, and it is not just hard work to make progress, the main thing is to look at understanding!" Old Man Shen paused, "Just like your uncle, you can understand a set of boxing techniques after practicing a few times, but your cousin Yunhua has a stupid brain, it will take three or four months, or even longer!" ”
said happily, old man, is it really good for you to say that you own your own son?
The water surface of this river is not too wide, but there are a lot of shrimp, fish and crabs in the river, and almost every net has a harvest.
"Uncle, there are so many fish in this river!"
Old man Shen said: "Now there are fewer fish, in the early years, when the Haihe River was rising, take a basin and scoop it casually by the river, and you can catch a few fish!" ”
"Can you scoop up fish with a pot? Then there must be people who are looking at the water rising every day? "Lie on the side of the boat and play with your hands.
Old Man Shen said with a smile: "The water rises every day, and the house must not be collapsed......
Before he finished speaking, Old Man Shen found that the fishing net in his hand was being vigorously dragged into the water.
Old Man Shen hurriedly stabilized the fishing net in his hand, pulled three times and pushed the ground, and slowly slipped the fishing net back.
He is a person who has been practicing martial arts, and his strength is really not a problem, but even if he uses all his strength, he still feels a little struggling.
It seems that this net has gained a lot, and it is very likely that there are big guys in it!
Seeing this, Duan Huan also helped drag the fishing net back, and the two pulled it for a long time, and the fishing net was finally half above the water.
