Sleep before bed folktale: the origin of Aunt Chicken
chick
I have a daughter-in-law who is very honest. Her mother-in-law had a gold bracelet that she had lost, and she couldn't find it, and she couldn't find it. The old woman said to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, "Who of you took my gold bracelet?" Give it back to me!" Both had numbers in their hearts, and neither of them took them out. When the daughter-in-law was asked, she said to her sister-in-law, "If you want to take your mother's gold bracelet, give it back to her quickly, don't blame me, I didn't take it." The sister-in-law didn't admit it and said, "I didn't take it." The daughter-in-law said, "This bracelet cannot be taken by outsiders except for us, and you have to say that you will make an oath here without taking us." The sister-in-law said, "Stand, you say!" The daughter-in-law said, "If I take this bracelet, I will become a small thing." The sister-in-law said, "I'm going to take this bracelet, and I'm going to become that thing." As soon as the two of them made an oath, the sister-in-law fell ill and was in pain. She got smaller and smaller, rolled smaller and smaller, rolled around, and finally rolled into an egg.
Aunt Chicken
When the old woman saw that her daughter had become an egg, she wondered in her heart: This bracelet still let my girlfriend take it, or why did she become such a thing? I am this one girl, not yet, she is reluctant to throw away this egg, so she wrapped it in cotton and put it on the kang. Pick it up and touch it every day. Thus, after three days and twenty-one days, there was a cry in the egg. When I opened it, it turned out to be a chicken. The old woman was watching the chickens, and the little grandson ran over and asked, "Grandma, what are you looking at?" The old woman said, "I see your aunt!" Your aunt became an egg, I was reluctant to throw and touch twenty-one days, she became a chicken again, this is your aunt wow, quickly call aunt. As soon as the little grandson heard it, he cried out "aunt" and "aunt". Since then, people have called chickens "aunts" as soon as they call them.
