In fact, Dajun and Lijuan lived in an alley, and their homes were opposite each other. The distance between his home and hers was only a few steps. Normally, the two families would go back and forth.

Very close, you come to my house and I go

No one in your family has ever been so arrogant or polite, but today it seems to be very different from usual, because this is a marriage ceremony, so it must be done in a decent manner, at least not in terms of etiquette.

Horses and horses are confused.

Liu Qiaoxian pulled the bellows and boiled several pots of water. As soon as Peach Blossom arranged the melon seeds and fruits, she heard someone talking at the gate. She quickly came out of the house, and Xiaobao had already jumped in.

When Taohua saw her in the yard, she bent down and asked Xiaobao: "Bao, where are your mother and grandma?"

Xiaobao pointed at the door with his little finger: "There, there."

Taohua straightened up and looked towards the door, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked in her heart, as if someone tripped on something while walking. The reason was that the first person to enter her house was Liqiang's wife, she thought:

Why was she so active for the first time? Ignore her, after all, everyone who comes is a guest. So, Taohua smiled and greeted her: "Hey, sister-in-law is here? Come to the house and invite her."

Li Qiang's wife chirped and said: "Hey, if something happens in this family, how can I be left out? Today Juan'er is getting married to the peach blossom girl. No matter how busy I am, I have to come over and ask for a wedding drink. Hehe, you think so, right?

Peach Blossom Girl? I don’t know if you’re welcome or not?”

"That's right, that's right, you just gave me face when you came here. I was really shocked. I'm giving a warm welcome to my sister-in-law, hehe..." Taohua politely chatted and laughed with Liqiang's wife, and saw Liu Qiaoxian coming out of the house.

, she said: "Mom, my aunt and sister Lijuan are behind." She meant that she couldn't leave and wanted her mother-in-law to say hello.

Liu Qiaoxian also exchanged greetings with Liqiang's wife, and then she went to the gate to greet Aunt Sun and the others.

When the mother-in-law and Taohua politely welcomed Lijuan's family into the house, Liu Dajun and Liu Haitao also came back. As soon as they entered, Liu Dajun was about to say something, but Liu Haitao pulled Dajun and stopped him from saying anything.

Coming out, Liu Haitao said softly: "It's a happy celebration today. Everyone is here. I think we should hold a recognition ceremony first?"

Liu Laocun sat on the head of the kang. He greeted Lijuan's father to get on the kang with a cheerful face. Old man Sun looked at Old Liu's legs and asked with great concern: "Brother, are these legs good?"

"There's no problem, I just can't take it hard yet."

The two old brothers sat together on the Kang in the middle of the table. Li Juan smiled and said to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu: "Uncle, Auntie, I don't understand anything about the matter of marriage. Please explain to us what's the point."

chant?"

Liu Qiaoxian curled his lips and said with a smile: "Why is this kid so polite? You have to ask your father about this. What doesn't my brother know about Lao Li?"

Old man Sun smiled shyly and said to Liu Laocun: "I know that even if they can't make sense, it's up to you, brother, to explain it to them."

Liu Laocun said: "That's right. Today is a new society. We don't believe in the superstitions of the past. Let's just chat and have a meal together as a family."

Liu Qiaoxian echoed, "Isn't that so? What's the point? Come on, his aunt, bring the little baby kang up and sit down. Juan'er, you guys should sit down too."

Aunt Sun agreed and greeted everyone: "Okay, okay, everyone, sit down and talk."

Liqiang's daughter-in-law sat down on the edge of the Kang and said to Dajun and Taohua who were standing aside: "Oh, although it is a new society now, there are still some things to pay attention to when recognizing relatives. All other matters are exempted. This editor

The 'lock' must always be braided. From now on every year, Taohua, the godmother, will wear a red thread through a copper coin and hang it

Wear one on Xiaobao's neck from the age of one to twelve. At that time, Xiaobao's godmother will "pad the lock" for him, and then Lijuan will use the lock to tie the twelve copper coins around his neck.

On the table leg, Xiaobao's godmother Peach Blossom opens it with a key. This is called "unlocking". From then on, your godson Xiaobao becomes an "adult".

Liu Dajun widened his eyes and asked, "Is it so long-winded to recognize someone?"

Liqiang's wife curled her lips and said, "What's the fuss about? It's much easier than the old society where we recognized a first cousin."

Liu Laocun said: "It is true that in the old society, it was much more complicated to recognize relatives than it is now. Since you want to "respect your relatives", you have to choose an auspicious day to hold the ceremony. At that time, in addition to preparing rich food, parents

In addition to the banquet, you should also prepare gifts for your children to honor their godfather and godmother. Among these gifts, the most important thing is to give them

The godfather’s hat and the shoes for the godmother, as well as clothing and other items. Of course, the godfather and godmother are not just in and out. The godfather and godmother give them to their godson and goddaughter.

The things you need must include a rice bowl, chopsticks and a longevity lock. In addition, you must also have a set of small clothes, shoes and socks, a hat, a bib and a tripod."

Old Man Sun went on to say: "During the New Year, we have to visit relatives and give each other gifts. During the New Year, the godson has to kowtow to his godfather and godmother to pay New Year greetings, and the godfather and godmother have to give his godson lucky money."

Dajun said: "Oh my God, I heard a lot of talk, it's too complicated, it gives me a headache."

Liqiang's wife said: "Have a headache? Hee hee, once you are married, you are a natural relative. Don't you just come and go during the New Year and festivals? It will be much more convenient to come and go in normal times, hee hee."

Aunt Sun heard the thorn in her daughter-in-law's words from the sidelines, and the old lady was always unhappy. She said to herself: This girl might say something unpleasant in a while. So Aunt Sun rushed to Aunt Liu.

Said: "Okay, okay, it's getting late. Her aunt, please bring out all the delicious food quickly and stop our mouths first."

Aunt Liu understood what Aunt Sun was saying. She pointed to the table with understanding and smiled and said: "No, all four dried and four fresh foods are on the table. In addition, I have long known that my grandson Xiaobao likes peach biscuits the most. I

Ask Taohua to go to the city to buy something for her son. Taohua, please bring it to my grandson."

"Slow down, slow down, let's do business first and then talk about food." Aunt Sun waved her hand and said: "Since we are here to recognize our relatives today, we must act according to the etiquette of recognizing our relatives, although we don't pay attention to it these days.

There are so many complicated etiquette and rules, but this simple etiquette is still necessary."

Aunt Liu said with a smile: "I have been a teacher and my words are nice, but my aunt's words are also very good and make sense."

Aunt Sun said to her daughter Lijuan: "Juan'er, take Xiaobao down from the kang quickly and kowtow to his grandparents and godfather and godmother. This will be considered a formal acknowledgment. Am I right, her aunt?"

"

"Okay, okay, my grandson is kowtowing to me. I must be waiting to pick him up." Aunt Liu happily said to her wife: "Come on, old man, sit down and watch your grandson kowtow to us."

Xiaobao was also very well-behaved. He listened to his mother Lijuan explain how to salute and kowtow. He knelt down with his two calves towards Liu Laocun and Liu Qiaoxian, and he kowtowed one by one with his little mouth that was still unclear.

He shouted: "Master... Grandma... Grandma, I kowtow to you..."

Liu Qiaoxian looked at Xiaobao's young and tender body kneeling on the ground. She felt happy and distressed for a moment, and said with tears in her eyes: "Oh, my dear baby has such a sharp heart, grandma recognizes me, grandma recognizes me."

This baby has a grandson...wuwuwu..."

When Taohua saw her mother-in-law like this, she quickly turned around and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Mom? Why are you crying?"

"That's right. What are you doing, you old guy? Why are you crying because you are so happy today?" Liu Laocun scolded.

Aunt Liu wiped her tears with her clothes and said, "I am so happy today. I look forward to having a grandson like Xiaobao."

Aunt Liu said casually, like an invisible steel needle that really hurt the hearts of two people, one was her son Liu Dajun, and the other was her daughter-in-law Taohua.

Especially her son Dajun. Ever since he learned that he had sterilization, several worries have often lingered in his heart. As the saying goes: There are three ways to be unfilial, and the worst is not having children. He is worried that he may not be able to change or make up for this in his life.

Flaw, sometimes, he saw people's big family full of children and grandchildren, sitting together during the holidays, talking and laughing, how envious he was, even envious

Mu De was a little jealous. He could no longer bring such joy to his parents; he was worried that his wife would leave him because of this. The important thing was that there was no "burden" of worries and career between them.

I'm afraid it won't happen again in the future; at the same time, he is also worried that one day his "consumption" will suddenly relapse, and he will suddenly leave this world and leave his parents, leaving his parents alone for the rest of his life.

And Taohua knows what her parents-in-law are thinking at this moment? They are looking forward to their grandson and are going crazy. Now that Xiaobao is kneeling in front of them, and the grandparents are shouting like this, why don't the two old people feel excited and excited?

Just hearing Aunt Liu's cry of joy, Da Jun and Tao Hua blushed. They looked at each other speechlessly and both lowered their heads.

Lijuan was still sharp-eyed. She could see the inner activities of Da Jun and Tao Hua with a glance. She quickly broke the awkward atmosphere and said to her son Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, come here and kowtow to your godfather and godmother."

.”

Despite what Sun Lijuan said, Xiaobao actually stood there motionless. No matter how hard Lijuan pulled, Xiaobao just kept his head down and his mouth was so pouted that it could tie up a small baying donkey.

When Lijuan saw it, she squatted down and asked Xiaobao: "Son, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine just now? Why don't you kowtow to your godfather and godmother? Huh?"

No matter how Lijuan asked, Xiaobao didn't speak or move. Now Lijuan felt so embarrassed, so she said angrily: "Why does this child look like a little stubborn donkey? Why did I tell you at home?"

?I’m so angry.”

"Sister Lijuan, don't worry, what do you know about children? Just rest for a while." Seeing that Lijuan was a little impatient, Taohua hurriedly leaned down and smiled at Xiaobao and persuaded: "Come on, let me

Come and ask Xiaobao what's going on? Who made my baby angry? Please explain it quickly."
