The nephew came to kowtow to his uncle
The second nephew of the first year of the year went to the uncle's house to pay respects to the festival, and the third son-in-law of the first year prostrated to the old man. Until the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the day of worship and the festival of worship, which is to put it bluntly, the day of prostration. The Festival of Worship should probably originate in the first year after the new marriage, and after the daughter-in-law and son-in-law worship the festival, the son of the husband's family will come back and forth to worship. Kowtowing to the parents of the son-in-law's family is called the Festival of Worship. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was still very fashionable, and the new year's eve festival that had to come and go became a reserved repertoire of exchanges between relatives.
The production team has to go to work as soon as it passes the third year of junior high school, and the worship festival has become a burden. There are seven or eight sisters, plus aunts and aunts. So many homes need you to go back to worship, and there are still fifteen times that you haven't finished worshiping.
At the time of the Festival, the close relatives went to the far away at noon to get up early and got up early, and when they went to the relatives' homes, they did not even dare to eat, and they rushed back in a hurry for fear of missing the morning work. It is said that after dinner, it is not time, but there is an old habit that relatives cannot go after noon, saying that this is unlucky for relatives.
It is much better to have children at home, and students have been on holiday until about the tenth year of junior high school. Let the children go to worship slowly one by one day.
I went with my uncle and brother for several years, going to my aunt's house on the first day. The aunt and her mother-in-law went somewhere to kowtow to her. The next day, I went to my sister-in-law's house, and she still had my in-laws at home, and we told grandpa and grandma to kowtow twice.
At noon at my sister-in-law's house, I ate a bowl of dumplings by myself. After dinner, we played with our cousins, and Grandma came and pulled us to her house for dinner. We couldn't refuse that enthusiasm, so we had to go with her. When we got there, we were given two, and one of us fished out a bowl of dumplings. I was a teenager at the time, knew I couldn't finish eating, and found an empty bowl and poured half of it out. My brother was only four or five years old, and he wouldn't let him pour some out.
To be honest, it may also be a matter of being full. I think those dumplings are very unpalatable, the dumpling filling has no meat at all, and the radish shreds are not fragrant and tasteless. I barely ate a few, thinking how many my brother could eat? None of him finished eating, and put down the bowl. Grandparents told him to eat a few more, shook his head and refused to eat any more.
In fact, such a New Year's Festival, within a few years, is no longer fashionable, mainly because people at that time did not have time. At first, my aunt and uncle came to kowtow to my grandmother, took advantage of the situation to kowtow to them, and told them not to go to the Hui festival again. Later, my grandmother died, and my aunt and uncle did not come to pay homage to the festival. Cousins, cousins, still have to come and kowtow to their uncle. Supposedly, we should also go, kowtowing to our aunts and uncles.
There is also the sister and brother-in-law who come to visit the festival, these should go. On the other hand, these relatives are the closest relatives, and it seems that they can't be bothered if they don't go to the Hui festival. Just tell them that they also have to prepare meals and hospitality, and they also save the soles of their shoes, and they do not delay the work in the team to earn work.
Instead, there are some relatives who can't beat the eight rods, such as friends who worship, dry fathers, and dry wives. The more such relatives you have to go year after year, otherwise this relative will slowly fade with the passage of time until there is no contact.
Some lazy habits form, it is difficult to recover. This seems to be a trend, most people are like this, and they are at ease. It is natural for the nephew to come and kowtow to the uncle, and the nephew to kowtow to the aunt and uncle. This habit continues until now.
