Chapter 703 Cultural Inheritance of Gifts
When I got home, my mother leaned on the sofa and kept shouting that she had eaten too much at noon, wondering if she had made a fool of herself, "I don't know that I can eat it so much."
Grandma smiled and said, "There are so many people who eat. However, the dishes cooked from firewood are delicious."
Grandpa said in a muffled voice, "That's because they have good skills. The ingredients are good. They are fried immediately, and the sweetness has not been lost. How can they not taste good?"
Grandma rarely argued, "That's right, when cutting fat meat, you can see the meat flushed, and the crayfish were just caught... Alas, Jianhua, their crayfish have also been sold for several thousand yuan this year. They are all thanking you, saying you wanted them to raise it."
Grandma's jumping thinking is the same.
My mother held his ears, "Son, why do you love eating so much? Go to the river to catch shrimps and snails to buy fish, set up birds flying in the sky, catch frogs, eels and loaches in the fields, beat hares, and dig medicinal materials; the first time Shengzi gave them, he said you brought them up."
He took away his mother's hand and laughed, "It's good to love to eat. If you don't like to eat, you won't pursue life. Not pursuing means you have no motivation, so you don't want to do anything."
My mother slapped him, "Ask him. So many people don't like to eat, but they are doing well, and their results are released one by one."
He smiled and said, "You asked me just now, and I answered according to my ideas, and I didn't talk about anyone else."
Grandma glanced at the two of them and sighed, "If it weren't for Jianhua's food everywhere, our family wouldn't be like the one we are now. Yunyan had grown up since eating frogs, and Yuehua Yuehe also started when he sent meat. His grandfather's body seemed to get worse day by day, and after taking the tonics and meat sent by Jianhua, he got better and better after returning."
"That's all you adults, you still look five or six years younger than your peers. Think about Haoyuan, when he was thirty-five or six years old, he looked older than he is now."
As he said that, he stood up and went to her bedroom to take a photo and came out, "Look, this is a photo of him getting a work permit that year. Is it older than he is now?"
Long Jianhua took it and looked at it, and smiled, "It looks a little darker."
My mother laughed and scolded, "You can see that the black and white photos are black? But there are more wrinkles than now. He is getting younger and younger."
Grandma glanced at her, "You are not the same? You never had a smile on your face all day."
My mother suddenly rubbed Long Jianhua's face, "Son, we have to thank you for feeding us so that we can have meat every meal. Now if you want to go to Kyoto, you can go to Kyoto, and if you want to go to Kawashima, you can go to Kawashima."
Grandma put the photo on the coffee table, slapped my mother, and scolded, "Why do you always like to bully my grandson? You used to be a clue, but now you have changed your face."
My mother let go of her hand and laughed, "I didn't dare to hold her when I was a child, so I have to enjoy it. Others said, 'Beating is a kiss, scolding is love, and I have to think it's not enough to kick it with my feet'. Now I feel that it's not enough to pull my ears, so it's more satisfying to rub my face."
Grandma smiled and cursed, looking at Long Jianhua and said, "Jianhua, what do you and Feifei think?"
He was very surprised, "When she graduated, she got married. What else can she think?"
He was actually urged to get married, and he felt strange.
Grandma shook her head, "She didn't mention getting engaged?"
He shook his head, "I never said that if you are free to have this kind of thing?"
Grandpa said next to him, "Your status is here, and the process you should have to go through. However, you can't ask about this matter, so why not call Xiulin and ask; if they agree, we won't find a matchmaker."
My mother laughed and said, "I was not engaged at that time... OK, I'll call and ask."
Grandma smiled and said, "There was no such custom at that time. Even families like Zhang Sheng were engaged, which means that this custom was back."
Grandpa said, "A engagement ceremony means getting engaged. After the engagement, even if Zhifei lives with you, no one will say anything."
Grandma smiled and said, "If her family followed the ancients, it would be quite complicated to do it in the way of the ancestors."
Grandpa said depressedly, "How many ways do you remember the ancestors now? I think Xiulin asked, what we should prepare. You have bought so many things and haven't moved them at home. Now it's time to take them out and use them."
Long Jianhua remembered that he still had a lot of things in the basement and smiled, "I didn't even remember that there were those things, so let's go and have a look."
My mother also said, "If you say it, do it. I will call Sister Huiyan. I am really going to become an in-laws, and I am still very excited. I have to think about it carefully, what should I say... Or, I will call Kyoto first to ask my mother?"
Grandma laughed and scolded, "Often two people can chat for half an hour, but they will panic when they encounter serious business."
My mother laughed and said, "You can't be anxious, you have to think it through before you talk about it. This is related to Jianhua's lifelong event."
Grandpa said lightly, "This is just a formality. What does it have to do with lifelong events? Zhifei likes Jianhua so much, and her family also likes him very much; getting engaged is to give people respect and show my sincerity."...
When he arrived at the basement, Long Jianhua felt the fragrance of wood in the air, the ground was clean, the walls and shelves were full of patterns.
Some coins are sealed in strings and hung on the walls by plastic film; some are sealed in columns and placed on wooden racks; some are sealed one by one and stuck to some corners of wooden racks.
The jade rough stones were all waxed and placed along the base of the wall; and the crystal rough stones were piled together to form a small table with a newspaper, a small notebook and a pen; around the "table", there were two that should be used for stools...
Looking at the neat and aesthetic arrangement, Long Jianhua smiled.
Back in the living room, he asked his grandfather, "How long did it take for you to get such a well-decorated place?"
Grandpa smiled and said, "If you don't go out if it's windy or rainy, you're idle, just sort it out. Your grandma has a lot of things and always has to do something fancy every time."
Long Jianhua laughed and said, "It's very beautiful. It took a lot of time to seal those coins and waxing those rough stones?"
Grandpa took a sip of tea, "More than one-third of the year it rains, and everything can be made. How about it? Those jade cabbage and chicken bloodstones still feel the same, right?"
"I think if you get engaged, you will have to find someone to use a bloodstone or crystal carving object. Good things will be in pairs."
"Although the crystal carvings you bought are good, I don't think they are very good. The one in the corner of the wall is the best; as for the bloodstone, I think there are a few of them that are very good, and it is best to take out any piece. But to produce good carvings, you still need to find a good sculptor."
Seeing that Long Jianhua didn't say anything, grandpa asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Long Jianhua wiped his face and said, "Grandpa, I can go find this sculptor, but I can't get it after half a year. Otherwise, we will send a piece of raw stone and ask her family to find someone to carve it themselves, and carve whatever they want."
Grandpa shook his head, "It is not serious to give out raw stones or products when you get engaged. We can't be so hasty. It's okay for normal times, but not at this time... Otherwise, you can find someone to carve it first. It's not necessary to get engaged, but it's necessary to get married."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "Grandpa, I have actually prepared a large diamond ring to give it to her on her next birthday..."
Grandpa interrupted him, "I don't understand those things. But I think jade products, bloodstone products, and crystal products are all things from our ancestors, and are the crystallization of art and more meaningful than those. Even those gold and silver jewelry, I think they are not as good as these."
My grandfather's words hit Long Jianhua's heart, and it made him feel a slight shock in his mind and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Yes, this is also inheritance, just like the corporate culture of Chongshi Group.
