Remember, August 20
Laodizi Main Store, Hotel & Chinese and Western Restaurant, Zhou Lile Street, Jiang'an Dacheng? Junxin Cunhua, first visit to Professor Baili
The northwest wall of the restaurant was at the window.
2 white porcelain plates, Western cuisine, 2 white porcelain bowls, Chinese cooking, 2 blue and white porcelain bowls, rice, knife and fork removed, leaving only chopsticks and spoons. The waiter came over to ask. My husband was very polite and didn't use soup first, and he would talk about it after eating. Please don't bother you.
Everyone respects the waiter, and his wife nods silently
I'll like you to be like this... I'll respect you
Just that middle-aged couple, now the private room on the second floor of the teahouse
Weishui Lao Hang, Fu Kunyuan. The 25th day of the eighth lunar month, October 6th, 1920
Middle-aged man's plain long gown and trousers, inverted V-mouth dark cloth shoelaces raised
My wife has 30 years old, and she has several strands of hair wrapped in a large bun, which looks like a fishing net. 21st century vision, flower bud head. Foqing cotton half-sleeved cheongsam, plain-colored satin embroidered shoes (reflected Chinese classical cloth shoes, small squares on the toe. Foqing dark blue)
A deskmate, and a young man
Handsome appearance, bright eyes, low-key treatment, respectful words must be used when speaking. Short hair is quite neat, for example, in the 1990s, commonly known as "sloping strapon"
Plain coarse cloth double-breasted shirt, grey cloth sleeveless double-breasted shirt
It is obvious that it is specially ironed. Black coarse cloth trousers, rope tied with trousers. Black cloth shoes are basically covered with insteps, and the middle of the shoe gall part is sewn. Look at a vertical line. The old style is a thousand-layer sole. Who is it? Yuandiquan (the shoe gall covers the insteps. This style is also available in the 21st century, such as monk's shoes)
Usually, shirts, trousers, leather shoes
My wife was almost kidnapped and realized that she was calm on the surface and had a hidden crisis. She deliberately changed her skills and short-term beating, and the crowd was not conspicuous. She went out to inquire and did things more conveniently. Yuan Diquan
Introduction to the friend of a middle-aged couple from Jiangan Dacheng in the past
I met Yuan Diquan and was quite angry. I thought my brothers were treated as my brothers. Unexpectedly, I met by chance in Fu Kunyuan, and both sides were overjoyed. I knew how old I was, and I kept talking, "Brother, Sister-in-law" and decided to invite a teahouse to talk.
Friends' introduction? Who is it
Do you remember that in late June, 1920, when Jiucunhua was not married yet? My father's relatives were really in trouble and wanted to ask for some help. I helped the whole family of Guanhua back then, of course I remember. Count 25 silver dollars and full of rice. Aunt Jiu left even more for dinner, so I would like to say goodbye. Just that relative, who introduced the middle-aged couple to Yuan Diquan (the father who saved the flowers in his father's family)
The wife of a middle-aged man, near Fu Kunyuan, her mother's home
In 1920, the town-level unit was under the jurisdiction of a certain county. At that time, folk spoken language did not require deliberate accuracy, nor did it be a map. It is usually understood that the Dafu Kunyuan area and a certain town are. For example, when visiting relatives and friends from other places, where are you from? Answer to Fu Kunyuan. Of course, I know that the famous ancient city for thousands of years, the important place of ports, and the prosperous place
The elderly in my mother's family were uncomfortable, and the couple rushed back together
Just meet a close friend, have a happy life
Respect middle-aged men
I know that I have studied, worked diligently and lived frugally. I heard about the elderly and would inevitably involve expenses. I had a small-sized coarse cloth pocket with a silver dollar worth of one yuan. I would definitely ask my brother and sister-in-law to accept it. Yuandiquan
Where can I be so embarrassed, I'll make a lot of talk
The brothers are very sincere and show their feelings, and will not take them back. Their speeches are reasonable and seem to be unrefuted. The couple thanked each other repeatedly
My wife was filled with emotion and chattering
Household trivial matters, shake your head and sigh
Speaking of this, I have an old saying
My wife’s sister, what school to study in Yonglianyan? I recognize a Gentile youth. I can talk a few words at the beginning, but the more I go back, the more incredible it is (my sister’s middle-aged man, sister-in-law)
A Gentile youth, know some Chinese
He has always been well-dressed and has a young man in aristocratic family. His words are very superior, so-called throwing bricks and jade. What is his ancestors, his fathers, and his elders. Especially when facing those who do not understand the language of the Gentiles, such as ordinary Chinese people, they have always been quick to speak Gentiles, ups and downs, as if they recite poems. Then, they put on a thought that they are facing aliens, why are they so simple? You can't understand
Sister-in-law, self-esteem and self-reliance
Look at things and understand in-depth analysis. Chat in the school, be polite and honest, neither humble nor arrogant.
Yes, but please respect Chinese traditions, respect Chinese emotions, and give each other face. Just say it directly, tell the Gentiles to a young man
This feeling is very uncomfortable for a Gentile Master
To put it bluntly, his superiority is discounted
Once, I invited me to a restaurant
At the dinner table, we talked about Gentile literature. For example, what works are adapted from opera. As we talked, we began to off-topic and exaggerate the sense of superiority. We made things out of nothing, picked the bones in the eggs, and derogated from all aspects of China.
Just a few words, my sister-in-law immediately answered
It's very straightforward to eat out, it's pleasant, right? Just speak, don't be insincere. China's classical culture for thousands of years is very excellent, isn't it good?
A table next to it, Gentile mother and daughter have dinner
The content of the main meal is different, either with salad, soup, biscuits and bread. Or just wait for a while and have a meal directly, one plate. You can ask for a full set and add some money.
My daughter ordered with salad
My mother ordered it and wait for the main meal. The Chinese waiter brought a salad to tell my wife about your stuff and will come soon
A Gentile mother dressed well and spoke softly
Seeing my daughter eating salad with big mouthfuls, she was a little greedy. She stretched over fork and wanted to divide it.
A Gentile daughter, dressed decently
The tableware in the right hand was uncovered, and I pulled open my mother's fork. I chewed my mouth, and my words were ambiguous. It was very straightforward. Mom, don't touch my salad
Sister-in-law, scan your eyes coldly
A Gentile mother understood that she felt very embarrassed. She hurriedly put on her fork, stroked her hair, looked up and down, and tried her best to restore her dignity.
Indeed, why are the biological mother and daughter?
In the eyes of the bystander, it was quite uncomfortable
A Gentile Prince, I noticed it
Explain Gentile culture and value personal needs. For example, I have learned since childhood that it is my toy, don’t touch it. It is my candy, don’t eat it. ‘That’s mine, don’t touch it.’ The overall environment has fostered self-awareness, and I don’t agree with it.
Even for example, how many years ago
The Gentiles celebrates the festival and their relatives have dinner together. The iron sticks are skewers and barbecue, seven or eight. Grandfather likes some kind of barbecue. He was less prepared that day, and his grandfather wanted to divide a few skewers and showed him a sign. A Gentile young man refused, forget it. The culture is different, normal
My sister-in-law listened silently, not talking
I remembered that I once saw a Gentile mother and son having dinner. The child had a lot of fried potatoes. The mother's one was about to finish eating. The child burped and asked if you want some, my fried potatoes?
At that time, I didn't understand why I wanted to say "my fried potatoes" to my mother? Can't I push it over, smile and invite my mother to eat it with one force.
For example, if my sister-in-law and mother go to a restaurant
I will definitely say that my mother, I need more things, eat them all... This, this, good taste... And that, eat... One, two, three, eat full, go shopping (similar to this feeling, family dinners in China are too common, it doesn’t matter which province)
After listening to the young master's analysis, I suddenly realized
Gentiles have been used to it since childhood, 'That's mine, don't touch it'. I'm really tired of eating it, so be polite. I'm here, don't want it, it's not my fault, there's no need to be polite anymore
Speaking of friends having dinner
A Gentile prince told him that he would pay his bills and eat his own food, and so on
After meals, small metal plates with bills on the table
A Gentile Prince continued to discuss Gentile classical literature, which was quite insightful. My sister-in-law sneered in her heart, took her wallet and paid for two people's meals.
A Chinese student is sick, everyone talks about visiting him
A Gentile young man wanted to go with him, but he didn't want to refute his face and agreed. When it comes to spreading money equally and buying gifts, all Chinese students agreed. The students were not very rich, so they did what they could.
A Gentile Prince, talks happily
Who can visit someone in his hometown? Just greet him with words. For example, the wild flowers and plants are very beautiful. Just pull out some and make a bouquet to bring them with you.
I haven't been to a Gentile Kingdom, my classmates are not stupid
Even in Yonglianyan, there are flower shops from Gentiles who have opened beautiful bouquets. Even if you pull flowers and plants in the wild, buy some pastries and fruits, and show your heart, your classmates and family members will be more heartwarming.
A Gentile Prince, answered seriously
Natural flowers and plants are fragrant, fresher
.I don’t know what the specific taste of the sick classmate? First ask his family, where is the doctor diagnosed it? In the past, I consulted a doctor, could I buy food to visit? The safest way is to buy nothing to ensure his health
All Chinese students expressed unanimously
We can spread the money for flower shop gifts. If you want to follow, please feel free to
Going to the sick classmate's house, the other party's whole family was moved
The other party's elderly elders came here in person, bowed and greeted each other. The Chinese tradition attaches great importance to seniority. Everyone is busy replying the gift but dare not take it or dare not take it. You are too polite.
When you arrive at the Gentiles, you will be arrogant
Put your hands in your pants pockets, don't bow, don't say anything politely, think your boss is inspecting her facial expression. Just harden your neck, count as if you nodded.
Classmates' parents and elders, decades old
I didn't care and I still smiled and greeted each other. But other Chinese classmates were very unhappy
If others communicate with him, if it doesn't fit his way of thinking
