the last witcher

As soon as I finished speaking, the boss said: "The next thing is to talk about grasping the week."

The eldest brother still understands me, but the third child yawned impatiently, "My ears are numb from hearing your story. I'm going out to buy some things for toothbrush festivals. Please tell me slowly." After speaking, he got up and stood up. Going to Wang Yan's side, "What do you want to eat?"

Second Olympic!There is nothing to show courteousness, rape or steal, I cursed in my heart, "You just need to come back soon." Wang Yan actually started to care about the third child, I'm going to go, I'm so mad.

The third child made an ok gesture and left the room. In order to please Wang Yan, I continued to tell my story.

"Because when I was born, those things that happened caused a lot of noise around me. After all, people's spiritual life was extremely lacking at that time, so I could talk about anything new for half a year until the day I left the hospital. There are people in the room pointing behind me.'Hey, see, it's just this kid.''Yes, I know, isn't it just the kid who can only laugh but not cry.''That's right, you said he was a goblin No?''I heard that Jigong was just born like this.''You can pull it down, your Jigong pissed all over his face.''Haha, that old man pissed down his beard, I was so happy.' 'Hey, keep your voice down, I'm leaving now.' 'What's the matter, you're still going to marry someone else.' I should just draw a circle and curse them." At this point, everyone present burst out laughing, Wang Yan and the other three girls really thought it was funny, and the boss's laugh was definitely an apology. It's just a superficial smile but not a real one, it's fake!

"After I got home, everything was normal. I was no different from an ordinary baby. Only the family members were not in a hurry to give me a full moon. Maybe it was because my birth was too weird. This made the older generation anxious. Enough, after all, my grandma has nine children, and my grandma has six children, what a big family!

Because I am the eldest grandson, my grandma paid more attention to it. After urging my parents for a long time, my parents reluctantly agreed to make a full moon wine for me when I was one year old.In order to show that she values ​​this eldest grandson, grandma specially prepared a weekly ceremony for me.

On the day of Grasping Week, the old man invited by grandma came to the hotel one step ahead of everyone, and asked the hotel for a large clean red carpet to spread on the ceremony stage, and then took out a few pieces from the schoolbag he brought. Gadgets were placed irregularly at one end of the carpet, and then I began to invite relatives and friends to sit down, count the number of tables, and when I arrived, I was ready to start the weekly ceremony.

After the relatives and friends arrived and signed in (accompanying the ceremony), the old man said a few words roughly, 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 Catch Ceremony. , the main event begins.

The custom has been passed down among the people for a long time.It is a ceremony held when a child is one year old to predict the future. In my era, the objects for grasping the week were basically made of any material, and the quantity varied from person to person; now, through the improvement of a certain Mr. Zhao, according to twelve Items are used to determine the child's future, and the items are basically made of wood, mainly for safety.
