As soon as my words fell, the boss said, "I'm going to talk about catching Zhou." ”

The eldest still understands me, and the third child yawned impatiently, "I hear your story so much that my ears are calloused, I'll go out and buy something for the tooth sacrifice, and you tell it slowly." After finishing speaking, he got up and came to Wang Yan's side, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Next Olympics! Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, I scolded in my heart, "Just come back quickly." "Wang Yan actually began to care about the third child, I went and was angry.

After the third child made an OK gesture, he left the room, and in order to please Wang Yan, I continued to tell my story.

"Because when I was born, there was a lot of excitement around me, after all, people's spiritual life was extremely lacking at that time, so I could talk about anything new for more than half a year, until the day I left the hospital, there were still people in the hospital pointing fingers behind my back." Hey, do you see, it's just this kid. ''Know, know, isn't it just the kid who can only laugh and not cry.'' ''That's right, you say he's a goblin, don't you?'' ''I've heard that Jigong was just born.'' ''You can pull it down, your family is full of urine.'' ''Haha, the old man peed down his beard and was happy to kill me. ''Hey, be quiet, let's go.'' "What's the matter, you're still planning to get married to someone." ''Fuck off, let's see the excitement.'' Anyway, there are all kinds of people, who are these people, I should draw a circle and curse them. When he said this, everyone present was hahadaxiao, Wang Yan and the three of them really felt funny, the boss's smile was definitely a laugh, at first glance, it was a smile and not a smile, real Nima fake!

"After I got home, I was all right, no different from ordinary babies, but the exclusive people were not in a hurry to give me a full moon, maybe my birth was too bizarre, which can make the older generation anxious enough, after all, my grandmother has nine children here, and six children on my grandmother's side, what a big family!

Because he is the eldest grandson, my grandmother paid more attention to it and urged my parents for a long time, and my parents reluctantly agreed to give me a full moon wine for one year old. In order to show that she attaches great importance to this eldest grandson, my grandmother also specially prepared a ceremony for me to catch the week.

The so-called 'catch week' is when the child is one year old, adults prepare some objects, let the child crawl over and catch the hand, and the things in the hand to determine which direction the child will develop in the future, the ancient believe in this, but the modern is to take the child to find a fun (the world is down, children are reduced to toys).

I still believed in this at that time, especially the fact that I was born, so that my grandmother especially believed that I was the hope of our Jia family in the future, after all, I am the eldest grandson, so my grandmother paid an old man who knew some relevant knowledge to come over and preside over the ceremony of catching the week on my first birthday.

On the day of the week, the old man invited by my grandmother came to the hotel one step ahead of everyone, and asked the hotel for a large piece of clean red carpet, spread it on the top of the ceremony table, and then took out a few gadgets from the schoolbag he brought, and placed them irregularly at one end of the carpet, and then began to entertain relatives and friends to sit down, count the number of tables, and wait for me to arrive, ready to start the ceremony of catching the week.

After the relatives and friends arrived and signed in (with the ceremony), the old man spoke a few rough words, all of which were blessings for the New Year, and then invited my parents to take me to the stage, and briefly explained the process of the Zhou ceremony, and the main event began.

The old man first asked my parents to put me on the side of the carpet where there were no objects, and then my parents guided me to climb in the direction of the things, mainly to see what I was holding, so that the old man could explain my future direction. ”

This is off topic and is not in the scope of the night's chat. After all, I am engaged in the wedding industry, and I have also engaged in similar celebrations, here I popularize the knowledge of catching Zhou: "Catch Zhou" is also called "trying", this custom has been circulated among the people for a long time. It is a kind of ritual to predict the future held when the child is one year old, and in my time, there are basically any materials of the objects that grasp the week, and the number varies from person to person; Now, through the improvement of a certain Mr. Zhao, according to the twelve items to determine the child's future, the objects are basically based on wooden materials, mainly to be safe, of course, this is my personal guess.

Drinking orders can liven up the atmosphere, connect with each other and enhance friendships. It can not only show the literary brilliance and talent of the drinker, but also reflect the agility and wit of the drinker.

I took a sip of soft drink and continued: "When I was arresting Zhou, there were not so many things, and there were only about eight things, namely: wooden sword (soldier), ancient book (scholar), wine cup (connection), ink bucket (jishu type of work), official seal (official career), Buddha bead (religion), abacus (businessman), and big money (fortune). These eight things are arranged irregularly at one end of the red carpet, quietly waiting for my arrival. ”

The following is the account of my family (the order is uncertain, but it has been confirmed by many relatives that what my parents said is true): I slowly crawled to the place where those objects were, sat on the book, and the old man's eyes showed a hint of joy. Then I took the wooden sword in my hand and threw it at the old man, who bared his teeth and dodged it, but the baby had a bit of a violent temper; Then I grabbed the wine glass again, put it under one of my feet and stepped on it with my foot, the old man nodded approvingly, this child must have a lot of friends in the future, and then I put the Buddha beads around my neck, the old man began to sweat at this time, who thought that I put a lot of money into his small clothes, the old man's eyes at this time were about to pop out, and the moment for zuihou to witness the miracle came - I pulled the abacus with my left hand, held down the official seal with my right hand, and peed into the small pit of the ink fountain.

Just when everyone was waiting for the old man to give an explanation, the old man pulled my grandmother aside, "Eldest sister, your grandson's life is not something I can calculate, I am incompetent, these twenty yuan will be repaid to you, and these three large groups will settle the money I gave with the gift (at that time, I earned thirty-eight yuan and six yuan a month). The old man stuffed the money into his grandmother's hand, and he didn't want anything, so he turned around and left, and everyone was blinded, and he began to tell other people how to do it, and the rest of the people were talking about it.

"Open the table." Seeing that this matter was too big, my grandmother hurriedly asked the restaurant to start serving, and since then, my grandmother has not dared to ask me about it.

Seeing the adoring expressions on these girls' faces, I called it a beautiful and a cool in my heart, so I said, "Do you still listen?" ”

"Listen, you're saying a great job." "Hurry up and tell the next story." "yes, I can't wait." The curiosity of the three girls was aroused by me, so I cleared my throat and prepared to continue.
