The hometown of the long years, the unforgettable hometown of the red eggs. Red, round, fragrant. When a child is born, he eats happy noodles and sends red eggs before leaving, five for girls and ten for boys. The customs of my hometown are unforgettable!
One by one inscription
At the foot of Mount Tai is my home, Confucius's hometown Confucian culture. Red things are done lively; white things are solemn and elegant. Having a child also has a special and saying.
I remember when I was a child, I went to my aunt's house with my aunt to eat happy noodles, because my aunt gave birth to a little doll.
Mom picked up a hundred eggs, two scoops of millet, two scoops of white noodles, and two scoops of sorghum, and put them in two baskets, covered with a red cloth, and let me carry them with flat shoulders.
When I came to my aunt's house and put down the giftSpring, someone gave me two red eggs, red and hot. When I peeled the skin, the eggs turned red.
I asked my mother, "How is this egg red?" My mother told me, "We have been here for many years, and as long as we have children, whether they are men or women, they have to eat red eggs." The picture is red and auspicious! ″
You have to eat the noodles and return the eggs. After eating the feast, I want to go home, and when I leave, I can always see some red eggs sent back by the host's family.
If a boy is born, return ten red eggs and give birth to a girl and send five red eggs. It has become an unchangeable rule for the people of the hometown.
The red egg symbolizes the red fire and auspiciousness!
In the 1980s, my daughter-in-law also gave birth to a boy for me. Before the child was born, the mother boiled a pot of eggs and dyed them red one by one with red paper. When the son screamed, the mother picked up the red eggs and delivered them to the midwife's hands, and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you!" Eat the red eggs! "
Decades have passed. Nowadays, when children are born in their hometown, they only spend money, do not send rice, do not send noodles, and can no longer eat red eggs. After giving birth to a child, you get five yuan and ten yuan in return money.
But I still like the red egg dyed with red paper. Red, round. With nostalgia, with a strong hometown culture.
Unforgettable hometown red eggs!
