The custom of Loess Village is that the elders who sit on the top of the family are not the first to hold chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and the others cannot be clamped first, if they go to clip, they will be considered that this person has no tutor, does not know etiquette, and is to be criticized and ridiculed by others.

Lin Yong also knew the customs here, although he took the chopsticks in his hand early, he didn't go to pick up the dishes before the old lady spoke.

Instead, when the old lady finished sandwiching the dishes and beckoned them to eat the dishes, she was the first to stretch out her chopsticks and grab the largest piece of bacon to eat.

Lin Shen turned a blind eye to her father's such a shameful behavior, she turned her head in the direction of the kitchen and said:

"Uncle and aunt, you are busy at noon, and you have worked hard to cook, come and eat at the table with your brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters!"

But the eldest aunt and the second aunt said:

"Eat first everywhere, leave us alone!"

The old lady Jiang estimated that Lin Shenshen did not know the eating customs of Loess Village, so she invited her two aunts to eat with the children at the table.

At the dinner table, the old lady was not easy to talk about this custom, so she spread a panic in the depths of the forest:

"You don't have to worry about them everywhere, let's eat first, they have food in the stove house!"

Lin Shenshen believed it, and didn't insist on waiting for his aunt and cousins who had not been served to eat, picked up chopsticks, and then put a piece of egg in the basin in front of his table to eat.

It wasn't until after Lin Yong left that her grandmother told her about this custom, and Lin Shenshen knew that here in Loess Village, there are guests at home, and women and children are not allowed to eat at the table, and they are all men or elderly women, so they are qualified to eat and drink with guests.

Women and children are not allowed to eat leftovers left by guests until they have left.

After listening to this custom, Lin Shenshen said to her grandmother at that time.

"What kind of rule is this, I don't treat women and children as human beings. This is the old feudal thinking, now it is the new China, the new society, this kind of bad rules, grandma, we can no longer continue to implement them. ”

Naturally, the custom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the old lady was persuaded to give up so easily by Lin Shen.

"That's not good, if our family doesn't have this rule, other people will laugh at our family when they come to visit!"

Lin Shenshen began to explain the facts and continued to convince her old lady.

"Grandma, other people's evaluations are not so important, important people in their own family. My two aunts gave birth to children for the Yang family, took care of the housework, and made great contributions to the inheritance of the children and the family. ”

"And my cousins, they will be the hope of the Yang family in the future."

"Value them, be good to them, this family is better!"

The old lady's face was moved, but she was still hesitating and not making a final decision.

"Besides, when I was in the Tang family, every time a guest came to the house, my adoptive mother and I always ate at the table. To understand the rules and know the etiquette, the people in the city are more particular. ”

The old lady had heard that the Tang family was a wealthy family in a big city, and that kind of family did not have such rules, so it can be seen that such rules will have to be changed sooner or later, but if they are changed now, she really doesn't want to be gossiped about behind her back.

"Grandma, don't hesitate, it's time to change this rule!"

"Even if you don't change it now, in more than ten years, the eating customs in the city will become popular, if anyone still uses this broken rules to disrespect people, maybe others will point to the backbone and scold the old feudal?"

No matter what customs are to keep pace with the times, Lin Shen remembers that at this time, you can only eat the plate in front of you, but after more than ten years, if anyone likes to eat which dish, turn the revolving table, and no one says that you don't understand the rules.

"If Grandma wisely changes this inhumane rule now, people will definitely praise you for your foresight in the future!"

The old lady was successfully persuaded and finally agreed to change the rules of eating.

The vested gainers, the two aunts and cousins in the depths of the forest, were very grateful to her after learning the news that was beneficial to them.

Of course, these are all later words, and now it is back to the dinner table.
