reborn peasant mother

Chapter 85

The female guests in the room closed the door tightly and told the outside that they were ready, and the sound of firecrackers outside the door soon rang.After the firecrackers went off, Feng Yujiang took away the dustpan, and the second elder brother of the Sun family carefully opened the door, put his head in and took a look, with a smile on his face.

"Can I go in?"

Mrs. Sun said: "If you want to go in, go in, your head is stuck in, and you still ask if you can go in!"

The people living in the house are puerpera, and it stands to reason that men are not allowed to come in casually.But this second son, Sun, is playing the role of Xiaowa's uncle today, so it's right to visit Xiaowa.

"Uncle" is a very special role in the countryside.As long as there is an uncle presenting the rice, the little baby must be present, otherwise it will appear that the uncle does not pay enough attention to it; the small baby has grown up, such as sending rice, college entrance examination, marriage and other important wedding banquets, as long as the uncle is present, the uncle must be present. For those who came to sit, even if someone with more status came, he had to sit in uncle's seat honestly, otherwise, he would not know what to do.If there is a host who is not open-eyed and arranges someone to sit on top of his uncle, he will be scolded as inferior to a pig and a dog.

The little baby has a hundred days to shave his head, so he has to ask his uncle to shave it. The little baby is delicate, and no one else can touch it. Only the uncle shaves his head. If there is any embarrassment, find the uncle, and the uncle must support the nephew; Even if the nephew is too old to do his job properly, Erlang bastard, if he goes astray, he still wants to find his uncle. If the uncle beats his nephew, he deserves it, and he should take care of it!If other people take care of it, they will be unreasonable.

Therefore, in rural areas in many places, "uncle" is a privilege and an authority.

On a day like today, it was only natural for Sun Laoer to enter this room.

The second son Sun came to the bed, but he didn't dare to hug him. He stretched out his head to look at the cartilaginous little doll, and said, "Little nephew, this is the first time uncle sees you, so it won't be in vain."

As he said that, he took out 20 yuan and put it next to the little baby's head. Feng Yujiang hurriedly gave way. The 20 yuan was already passed by even his own uncle.Second Sun waved his hand, and without saying anything to her, turned around and asked Mrs. Sun:

"Mom, where is the hat you bought for Xiaowa?

Mrs. Sun then took out a small woolen hat from a big bundle next to her.To deliver rice in the local area, grandma needs to buy clothes, blankets, etc. for the little doll, among which a hat is absolutely indispensable, so it is not surprising that there are still woolen hats for sale in the big summer market.

This hat is not only a sign of auspiciousness for the little doll, hoping that he (she) will become famous in the future and be superior to others. More importantly, the hat plays an important role in the custom of giving rice.

This hat is used to receive greeting gifts.It's the first time meeting the little doll, you have to give money!The closest relatives give the baby a meeting gift, and they will put it in this hat, which probably means "to be rich and precious"!

However, it is not so casual to put this meeting gift into the hat, there must be some attention to it.

Mrs. Sun held a wool hat and looked at Mother Zhong with a smile: "Grandma, you lay the foundation first?"

Yes, it is such a particular thing. To give a meeting gift, you have to be the first one to pay for it, and then other relatives can put the gift money into the hat. After all the relatives have given it, it is the grandma’s turn at last. This is called "" Grandma lays the foundation, and grandma makes the top."

Grandma's foundation is not laid casually, and the gift money given should not be too low, so that people will look down upon it, at least it should not be lower than ordinary relatives, but it should not be too high.Because "grandmother caps the top", if the grandma gives the most gift money, it must be more than any gift money in the hat to "top the cap".

The grandma's price is too high, making it impossible for the family to be a grandmother.
