House Dad’s Literary Life

Chapter 938 What did Xiaojiao choose? (34)

In the area south of the Yangtze River, there has always been the custom of grasping Zhou. According to legend, this custom originated in Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period. However, this custom is not only found in Jiangnan Province, Yang Yi's hometown Anqing also has the same custom!

Wudaokou Village, which had little communication with the outside world in the past, paid extra attention to traditional customs. No, Yang Yi, who had no plans to make a big move in Zhouzhang, received a set of Zhou Zhou objects brought to him by Dong Yuee's trustee. Moreover, Dong Yuee On the phone, he told Yang Yi that he must do a good job in the ceremony of catching Zhou, and what the child finally caught, and told her that she would use it to pray to the ancestors.

It can be said that there is a certain degree of superstition, but since the old man valued it so much, Yang Yi also discussed with Murphy to hold a small ceremony for Xiaojiao to catch Zhou.

Xiaojiao had his birthday at the end of November. When he just turned one year old, it was also when Murphy's new album was released. However, Murphy didn't go to work that day, and just held a press conference in advance to announce his When she returned, she waited until the end of Xiaoyu's birthday before she set off to start the journey to promote her new album.

That night, after eating the cake, Yang Yi began to put Zhou's items on the carpet in the living room.

Xixi cocked her feet, climbed on the sofa next to her, and watched curiously.

I have to say that when Xiao Xiaoyu celebrates her birthday, Xixi is actually the happiest!

Because Xiao Jiajia still doesn't understand the meaning of birthday, he doesn't know the joy of opening gifts, and he can't enjoy the delicious birthday cake - although Murphy intentionally fed the little guy a little bit of bread, that's not the case. Sweet and savory cream is delicious!

The benefits that Xiaojiao couldn't enjoy were finally enjoyed by Xixi!

So, tonight Xixi is as happy as her birthday, her little belly is filled with delicious cakes, and she can eat it until she can't eat it!

No, after eating the cake, the little girl was in a panic and couldn't sit down at all. She could only move around, crawl around to digest food, and by the way, she also looked at the items that Dad put down to grab Zhou.

Baba, what are these? It looks like a doll made of wood! Xixi asked curiously.

A few days ago, she had already learned the concept of catching Zhou from her father, but it was the first time she had seen the items of catching Zhou.

Yang Yi placed all the items in a circle, and is now adjusting the spacing of the items to ensure that they are in good order. Seeing Xixi's curiosity, he explained with a smile: These are made of wood, but the original image is of other ancient times. Objects that exist have very complex meanings!

For example, this is called Guanxingyin. You see it is in the shape of a dragon. In ancient times, the dragon represented the emperor and imperial power, so its symbol was power and status. If the younger brother catches this, it means that he has the possibility of becoming an official. Sex, there are officials, and officials have a prosperous fortune. Yang Yi picked up a dragon-shaped seal made of a plate like a stone lion and explained it to Xixi.

Xixi took it curiously and started playing with it.

The official star seal is not big, but the workmanship is very delicate. The dragon statue is carved so vividly that even the nostrils and beards can be clearly seen.

Of course, not only this, but every object is the same, very small in size and light in weight, so as to ensure that children who have just turned one year old can hold it!

The wood carving objects are polished very smoothly, and it is estimated that they have been used for a long time. These objects have a moist and translucent coating on the surface, which is very comfortable to touch!

Coupled with the darker tones, these Zhou Zhou objects look like old antiques!

However, this is also stressful. In order to understand the meaning of these objects, Yang Yi has also checked and researched the data. In addition to understanding the knowledge points he talked about with Xixi, Yang Yi also found that many modern people are messing around. Zhou has problems, such as what kind of abacus, magazines, rulers, etc., they use to grasp Zhou's items in life, not to mention whether children can hold them, these items of different colors, sizes and shapes are very important for children. It is also a distraction!

Therefore, after discussing with Murphy, they still chose the Zhou Zhou items sent by Dong Yue'e. Although it is a bit outdated, at least they can play the Zhou Zhou symbolically and see what Xiao Jiao will choose in the end!

Yang Yi explained to Xixi patiently, and Murphy quickly carried Xiao Jiao, who had taken a bath and changed into new clothes, from upstairs.

Catch Zhou Zhou, let's take a look at us, what will we do in the future? Do you want to be a majestic general? Or do you want to be a powerful musician like Mama and Baba? Murphy smiled, Jiang Xiao曈曈 embraced the middle of these objects.

Yang Yi handed over the presidency to Murphy, holding a camera and recording the small ceremony with a smile.

What will my brother choose? Xixi laughed and jumped around. Although there is no role for a little girl today, we Xixi are all small dramas no matter what, it is necessary to join in the fun and grab the show!

Yes, brother, what do you want to choose? Take a look first. Murphy held Xiao Jiao, who was still ignorant, and pointed his finger to let him take a look one by one.

This is a spinning top, this is Lu Bandou... Xixi introduced her brother enthusiastically. Just now, when her father explained it to her, Xixi remembered most of the names, although she might not be able to say the standard, Well, this, this is Is it a book?

Like this booklet, Xixi forgot the name of the object and turned her head to ask her father for help.

This is called Cangjie Jane. Cangjie is the creator of our writing in ancient times. Yang Yi added with a smile.

However, after looking around, Xixi seems to be in high spirits, but Xiaojiao has no idea of ​​catching one. He may also be a little sleepy. Mother.

Xiao Jiao's confused little eyes seemed to say, What do you want me to do?

Oh, brother, why don't you grab one! Xixi couldn't wait. She threw her hands on the carpet next to her, like a little tiger. Sight.

Xiao Jiao thought that her sister was going to play with him, but her sleepiness dissipated immediately. She grinned and leaned forward, just like her sister.

Oh, I asked you to choose one, let's see what you will do in the future! Xixi pouted, pointed to the circle of things, and said, I'm not asking you to learn from me!

Murphy and Yang Yi looked at each other in disbelief. She reached out and pulled La Xixi: Don't affect your brother's choice, it's only useful if you let him choose.

However, at this moment, Xiao Jiao finally acted, and he grabbed two things on the ground.

Yang Yi's eyes were sharp, and he saw that one was a string of bells like donuts, and the other was a Hongyale chime that Murphy wanted Xiaojiao to take! The former symbolizes a kind-hearted, medical practice in the world, while the latter, needless to say, means that the child will be versatile, able to sing and dance!

However, Yang Yi and Murphy didn't expect that Xiao Jiao didn't care what he took, he didn't choose anything. If he had to say that he chose, then Xiao Jiao would actually play with him. elder sister!

Maybe Xiao Jiao misunderstood that Xixi wanted him to give them to her. After seeing her sister being pulled away by her mother, Xiao Jiao anxiously grabbed the two most unruly items and got up from the ground. babbled to my sister.

Sister! Xiao Jiao smiled happily and stretched out his two small hands to Xixi.
