I have thought that wearing earrings is only for beauty when I was a child, and when I grew up, I learned the knowledge of wearing earrings. In fact, when I was a child, my grandmother told me that another meaning of girls wearing earrings was that my grandmother said, When a girl her ears and eyes, someone will hurt. "When they were young, every girl had to prick her ears and eyes! So she also suggested more than once that I prick my ears and eyes, but I never did it because I was afraid of pain.
Grandma said that when they were young, they usually pierced their ears and eyes in the deep winter, because at this time, there was thick ice, which could make the ears unconscious, numb the nerves, and then use a large needle to prick down, and then do not feel pain. In order to prevent the ears and eyes from staying for a long time, it is also necessary to wear a twine thread on a large needle and pull over the ears and eyes, and it feels cruel to think about! Even if it didn't hurt under the action of ice at that time, didn't it still hurt when the ears warmed up? So I have not dared to prick my ears and eyes.
I found that people like my mother's age, every woman has ears and eyes, most of them wear silver jewelry, and the silver in the past is very pure, which can be seen from the few silver rings that my mother gave me, when they were married, the young women who were married at that time were holding hairpins, putting silver shining jewelry on their heads, and wearing various earrings on their earlobes, walking up and dangling, very beautiful! According to the neighbor's second wife, on the day of her mother's marriage, she came on a donkey, and her mother's head was full of silver jewelry, which sparkled in the sun, and as soon as the donkey left, her mother's earrings shook, which was very beautiful! The second eldest lady sighed at me several times and said, "Unfortunately, there was no camera at that time, otherwise it would be nice to take a picture of your mother!" Later, the conditions were good, my father replaced my mother with gold earrings, of course, my mother who had gone through vicissitudes was no longer young at this time, but the smile on her face could still see her love for earrings!
And when I got married, gold jewelry had begun to be popular, and my husband also bought me a pair of fine earrings, but I didn't have ears and eyes, so I fulfilled the old adage, "Now I'm on the car and now I have pierced my ears and eyes!" "Of course, at that time, piercing the ears and eyes was already relatively simple, and it would no longer be carried out in the rough way of my grandmother's days, I went to the beauty shop and hit it with a gun, and with the sound of a gunshot, the beautician had already hit my earrings on my earlobes, and only a small amount of blood was shed. After a while, I put on the gold earrings that my husband bought for me.
I quite like to wear earrings, not only because the earrings themselves bring beauty to people, but also because the ear nerve and the optic nerve are interrelated, the earrings fall on the earlobe, it will affect the nerve activity, for myopic eyes, it is of great benefit! So my dresser is always changing all kinds of earrings.
