I copied my daughter in the parallel world

Chapter 976 851. Customs
When there is a power outage at home, those electric lights and other appliances that use electricity will all be in a state of shutdown. If you want to have a light at this time, candles are the best choice for people. Compared with electric lights, candles are not only used It is convenient, and the price has become lower. Many cities and societies have not yet broken free from the thrifty atmosphere. When people face various choices, the first thing they consider is thrift.

Therefore, if people live at home for a long time, people will store some candles in their daily life during this period of time, and use them as a source of light in case of power outages. Gu Cheng has never encountered such a situation, plus the time he lived in Zhoushi I have never encountered a major power outage, so I don't understand this common sense of life.

But the appearance of these candles also aroused his memories of some days when he was a child, and cherished some things in his childhood, so he subconsciously bought a whole pack of candles and put them in the shopping bag next to him as a storage for the Chinese New Year at home this year. , whether it is used in life or to enhance the atmosphere of the New Year, it can be regarded as something that can be used.

Going forward, I naturally saw door painting stalls placed everywhere.For every family on the land of Huaguo, door paintings are almost an indispensable accessory during their Spring Festival, and this custom has been passed down from the morning period to the present, with a history of thousands of years. It is really not that easy to suddenly want people to abandon this habit.

When Gu Cheng saw these things, he remembered that there was always something missing in his home. What exactly was it? It turned out that he had bought almost all other things, but he forgot the most important firecrackers and doors. Draw these customary items.

For every family, when the Spring Festival is approaching, clean up the sanitation at home, then replace the door painting on New Year’s Eve, and put two firecrackers before going to bed as a farewell to last year, which is relatively A warm custom.

After thinking that he lacked the purchase of these things, Gu Cheng immediately stood on the spot and thought about how many vacant doors and windows there were in his home. According to the current custom of every household, all the doors and windows that open to the outside should be covered with Paste something similar, after all, it is already the time of the Spring Festival.The door still looks empty, why it looks extraordinarily weird among the whole neighbor group, and even I feel that the atmosphere of Chinese New Year seems to have faded a lot.

When buying door paintings, you also need to buy a few statues of gods with unique personalities, such as the God of Wealth and the God of Kitchen. This is almost related to the things that every family cares about. One is the prospect of the family, and the other is the family eating. The problem.

The Chinese people have always been very simple on these issues. Even if they have a little bit of belief or admiration, they are too far away from their own lives, and the wishes everyone prays for are also very far away. On the one hand, I hope that next year will be even better than this year's, and that the wealth of the whole family will become more prosperous than this year's. At the same time, I also want to pray that the family can always eat safely and stably at the same table. It is indispensable to need the blessing of the Kitchen God.

Of course, even if Gu Cheng has no common sense in life, when he buys these things, he still needs to ensure that he is cautious in his words and deeds, and he cannot say everything. The teaching of experience.

For example, when buying a door painting, you must buy a pair and not pay the bill, because if you pay the bill, there may be a bad impression or reflection. The reason for buying a double is because good things will come in pairs. At that time, everything should move towards a happy or auspicious place.

For another example, when it comes to things involving these gods, you must pay special attention to your words, and you must say please do not say buy, because buying seems a bit too demeaning or not so respectful to these gods, but please This word can show his respectful attitude as a believer.

These things are relatively important small details in the customs of the New Year. No matter whether you are an atheist or not, or whether you worship these gods or not, you should follow the traditions of the whole society and do as the Romans do. I seem to be too unconventional. A culture has been passed down for so many years and has become an indispensable part of people's lives. Sometimes these small details not only express people's yearning for a better life, but also have certain reasons for their existence. of.

As a young man, Gu Cheng's mentality is not as clear and refined as others imagined, or he is out of tune with the whole era. In fact, his way of dealing with problems is more inclined to those middle-aged men who have experienced many things and vicissitudes. , Sometimes these traditional customs are as close as possible to everyone's daily living habits, instead of doing something so unconventional.

After purchasing these new year pictures and statues, Gu Cheng was already full of harvest, and he was going to buy some things at random, and the shopping bags he took out had become a burden for the two of them to go shopping. Aunts say hello, temporarily store these things in each other's booth, and then take them out after the shopping is over, which has become a way to solve the problem that needs to be solved right now.

Gu Cheng's request is not too difficult for these aunts who set up stalls, and they often encounter such requests or similar help in their daily life.In addition, the other party had spent a lot of money at their booth just now, so naturally he agreed very happily and heartily. Gu Cheng, who was temporarily relieved of the burden, continued to move towards the next street with a happier mood.

As I said earlier, when it comes to purchasing, Gu Cheng has always had the habit of being paranoid or simply unable to stop his hands and feet.So even though I remind myself repeatedly when I go out, I only need to buy some things that I can use, and buy as little as possible from those sundries that are not used at all. After all, there are too many similar things in my home. , but as soon as I got to the street, I put all my thoughts and demands on myself behind me, and the hands that had just been relieved were immediately filled with new and various sundries .
