reborn peasant mother

Chapter 354

In the area of ​​northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong, there is a custom of celebrating a double life, 66, 88, 99.There is a 77 missing in it, and most places in the local area are only 77 years old, but over 73 years old.

And these customs are inseparable from eating. 73, eat a carp and run three times, implying that the elderly can live another 30 years; 99, eating a dog, children buy dog ​​meat for the elderly, implying longevity and longevity.

After Feng Yujiang's operation, under the supervision of many parties, she practiced very seriously for several months. Seeing that the new year is coming, she should be 66.It is said that 66 must be passed one year in advance. As the old saying goes, longevity is a hurdle. This custom is left over from the past. People in the past suffered from poor nutrition and hard work, and their life expectancy was low. 66 years old is already an age that needs to be careful. , to have a birthday in advance, so that the elderly can pass the hurdle smoothly and live a long and healthy life.

Because of Feng Yujiang's false alarm this time, after going through this operation, the Zhong family thought together that our mother, who is 66, must live well.

66. Eat a piece of meat from the daughter. This 66, it is the daughter's money and effort.The daughter of Feng Yujiang's family, Xiao Liu has not yet left home to start a family, so according to the rules, it is not counted, and the rest is all about Chuanxiu and Chuanhui.

The two sisters, according to the custom, each cut six catties and six taels of meat, brought white flour, old wine and good food, and came early in the morning.Six catties and six taels of meat, it's not easy to cut it, and the countryside also said that it can be more or less, so the two sisters cut more meat, and they said it was six catties and six taels.

The whole family came to do their work, those who made rice, those who cooked vegetables, cleaned up a large table of dishes, but everyone could eat this table of dishes, but Feng Yujiang was not called to eat them.Her meals are stipulated today.

"Don't worry too much. If she grows up, she won't be able to eat a meal. That's unlucky."

"Dad, you can keep it small, make sure it's small." Chuanxiu said to Chuanhui while rolling out the skin, "His second aunt, your meat must be cut into small pieces, so don't make it too big."

"Sister, don't worry, I promise to cut it for her, it's as thin as that vegetable leaf." Chuanhui's cooking skills are still passable, so he cut the meat into thin slices with a careful side blade, and then cut it into thin slices. into small pieces.

This is the rule of over 66. My daughter buys meat and vegetables, makes 66 dumplings for parents, and frys 66 slices of meat.And these things, if you want the birthday star to eat them all in one meal, if you eat them all, you can say that you can eat enough and live a long and healthy life.

Conversely, if you meet a clumsy dumpling, the dumplings are too big, 66 pieces, plus meat, the birthday star will not be able to eat it in one meal. It is said that it is very unlucky. Old men and women in the country can tell you a bunch of dumplings Evidence, so who, 66 dumplings did not eat, died within a year, and died after a meal!And so and so, 66 had too many dumplings and didn't eat them all. How long did it take? Let my daughter be overwhelmed...

Therefore, these 66 dumplings must be made as small as possible, that is, the smaller the better, who dares to take the risk of "suffering" parents?But it’s small, you still have to pack it in a decent way, with meat and vegetables.This will test the girl's craft.

Then someone wants to ask, what should he do for a family without a daughter?Therefore, there are many locals who recognize daughters. Birthdays, funerals, and many customs are inseparable from daughters.If you really don’t even have a daughter-in-law, niece, granddaughter, or even a daughter-in-law, someone has to take care of it. You know, 66 is a big deal in the local area.
