Clean luggage
In our countryside, a person needs to burn a bundle all his life. To put it simply, when a person reaches a certain age, his family and relatives will invite witches from neighboring villages to their homes, buy some burning paper, fold some gold and silver ingots and gold and silver bricks with gold and silver paper, write some information on some burning paper, then set the table and kowtow to God, and burn all the burning paper and gold and silver ingots.
I've seen it many times since I was a child. Before, all my relatives burned their bags, and this time my mother called and said that she had set a date with the witch. The date set by the witch can't be changed. She must let me go home. I obviously feel that this is a big event and a good thing for my parents. When I was not careful, they showed great importance, and finally asked the leader for a few days off and went back to their hometown.
? Get up in the morning, boil water to watch your mobile phone, wash your face and brush your teeth, take out some celery left over from a few days, pick up the leaves, cut them clean, put them in a basin for later use, take out the pork fried dry a few days ago, boil, roast the water in the dry pot, pour in the oily pork, simply stir fry, add a little onion and ginger, stir fry, add a little soy sauce and stew for a while. Then stir-fry evenly for a while, then you can put it out of the pot and put it on the plate, and the celery fried meat is ready. The steamed bread I bought yesterday was hot and I had a simple breakfast.
Pack your luggage, go out and take the bus, then transfer to the bus, then transfer to the bus, and dad will take it home by bike.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that my mother was busy. She began to plan to burn my luggage for me tomorrow. My mother is washing and cutting lotus roots, and has prepared stuffing of pork and celery. I want to fry lotus root boxes. As far as I can remember, the lotus root box will only be fired once during the Chinese New Year. Dad pulled some wood from the outside and processed it with an iron saw and an axe for cooking. Dad was busy for a long time and told his mother that he would go to the orchard to feed the dog. I fell and went home, not idle. I immediately began to tidy up the house, clean up, sweep the floor and tidy up the furniture, which is something that only Chinese New Year can do.
My mother killed the chicken early the next morning (my father can't kill chickens, but my mother can). I got up because my mother was going to pick up my grandmother by car and let me get up to roast chicken. I contacted a friend who bought a car in the same village yesterday. It happened that he got off work this day and asked him to drive my mother to Shenpo's house to meet Shenpo. My friend drove to the door, asked me if I was caring and attentive today, and then took my mother away.
In a short time, the second grandma came home to help, and the second aunt also came from home, mainly for fear that she would be too busy. I am still stewing chicken. The firewood that my father handled yesterday was very good, neither too big nor too small, and it was just put in the stove.
Witches are very busy in our countryside. Every time she meets an auspicious day, she doesn't just go to a shop for business, nor does she just do one thing. She is very busy. My mother and her friends arrived at her house, only to find that she was not at home. After the phone call, she realized that she had gone to another home for business in the morning, and then she came to our home. They drove home to look for her, and finally found it and received it from our home.
After coming, all aspects are engaged in complex and busy work, which seems to be a very sacred thing. In my opinion, it is an unclear thing.
The witch has set some things to use in advance, and asked my parents to prepare them in advance, such as fire paper, gold and silver ingots, gold and silver bricks, jujube sticks, sesame stalks and yellow straw, and seven different lines to go to other people's homes. Surnames are different, and some surnames are not allowed.
When the witch came, she asked for these things. Some can be used directly, and some need to be treated. Jujube branches should be wrapped in red paper and burned with copper coins. On some burning papers, the witch also wrote down my name and information, my father's name and information, and my grandfather's name and information. The last one is wrapped in red cloth, which is a burden.
Then I was arranged. My mother borrowed a red cotton-padded jacket from the old people in the village yesterday afternoon, saying that the older the old people, the better. According to my mother, the old man is lying in bed, unable to speak, and depends on others to serve him. Let me put on my cotton-padded jacket, with a jujube stick wrapped in red paper in my left hand and a dollar wrapped in red paper in my right hand (like a basket). I asked my mother for 100 yuan and put it in my pocket. The witch put a square circle made of straw on my body, put colorful threads around my neck and locked them together with two locks. Wrap my head in red cloth and show my face.
Everything is ready. There is a basin full of water on the ground called water basin, the basin burning sesame yellow straw is called brazier, and the kitchen knife burning paper is called Daoshan. Let me take some coins in my hand, listen to the witch's command, let me pass through which one, and then leave the coins. Let me sit on a stool prepared in advance after crossing. The stool is covered with red paper, so I have to step on it. When I sat down, they put cushions around my back, leaving only cushions in front of me. At this time, the witch will say the things in her mouth with the key, say one after another, and finally pick up the scissors and say it again. I gave one key to my mother and the other to my second grandmother, asking them to unlock the lock for me. After winding, she cut the straw and colored thread around my neck with scissors. Then she said, Feed me. My second grandma made me eat two bowls of jiaozi, one for each bowl. After eating, she poured the rest into my basket. My second aunt brought two bowls of noodles, took a bite from one bowl and poured it into my basket. Mother brought two steamed buns and a tofu, squeezed them together, and let me bite two steamed buns at the same time, take a bite of tofu and pour them into my basket. After all, let me sit in my bedroom, and then I'm not sure what happened to them. I should go out and burn my bag. When I came out, it was almost over. The witch held three pieces of red cloth in her hand and lit them separately. She said that all three pieces were flowers, not words. What exactly did she mean? The secret can't be revealed. I gave my mother two pieces of red cloth, saying that one piece was put under my pillow when I slept at night and the other piece was put in my pocket for three days when I left.
Then I began to entertain relatives and families who were busy this morning, cooking and eating. .
Generally speaking, I think it means adult ceremony, but the family has mythologized it, holding a stick in one hand and a basket in the other, which means that you walk through society and cross mountains and rivers, and don't forget a hot meal at home. There may be no delicious food outside, but this is the first time you have eaten the closest meal in this world.
It is still a very meaningful thing, and then I will travel alone. Some people say that I can find someone to marry if I burn my baggage. I wonder if it's true!
