I grew up in the north, but when I grew up, I lived in the south.
Some folk traditions and customs are completely different from the north and the south.
For example, my husband starts at the age of 30 and must pass every ten. Usually parents and siblings each give a pig's hind leg, and then we treat them to dinner, and everyone has a good time.
Both men and women have been, if there are many brothers and sisters, the big pork leg is collected, a basket, I now understand the origin of Jinhua ham......
Our northern region generally pays more attention to the natal year, which is the natal year every lunar calendar every twelve years from birth, for example, the zodiac tiger is the year of the tiger is its own natal year.
And the natal year is generally not very smooth.
When we were young, every year of our birth, my mother would buy us red socks, belts, or red underwear to avoid trouble.
Today I will tell you a few short stories based on real events that happened in the natal year.
The first is a younger brother of my clan, who was born with a developmental delay as a child.
At the age of six or seven, his speech was still not very clear, and he walked on tiptoe, bumpy and bumpy. If according to the current medical term, it is cerebral vestibular dysplasia.
At that time, medicine was backward, and it was a remote village, so there was no way to treat my younger brother.
My aunt gave birth to such a child, and her hair turned half gray at a young age.
Later, a storyteller came to the village, who could not only tell stories but also tell fortunes.
When the sister-in-law brought his brother to him, he looked at him and said to him, "It's okay, the child has not yet taken root in this world, and it will be fine after the birth year." After saying that, he picked up a small handful of soil from the ground and put it in his brother's shoes.
It's strange to say that my younger brother is really past the age of twelve, and he is really normal after his first natal year.
The second story takes place in our county.
I remember that year was when "The Legend of the New White Lady" was in full swing.
It is said that there are two brothers-in-law, and the brother-in-law and brother-in-law are exactly twelve years apart, and they are both monkeys, and that year happens to be the year of the natal life.
My brother-in-law's father usually studies metaphysics such as Zhou Yi gossip. He told his son to avoid contact with wooden objects as much as possible this year. He deliberately drew a talisman with cinnabar, and then sewed a small triangular bag with red cloth and put it around his neck to ward off disasters.
But it still did not stop the calamity.
When the family knew that the two brothers had an accident, they had missed the rescue time. The older brother-in-law was driving the delivery in the timber mill, according to the later workers, it was almost off work that day, and there was a rush to send a car of goods to the pastoral area, and the herdsmen were often not very good at bargaining compared to the Han people, so the profits were relatively rich, so the factory director asked him to find an assistant to go with him, according to the commission of twenty, which was not a small amount of money at that time, the brother-in-law found a brother-in-law to help deliver the goods, but he did not expect to have a car accident in the place where the village was not in front of the village and the store was not in the store. By the time the people found out, the person was already gone, and it was all caused by excessive blood loss.
The weirdest thing is that the charm worn by my brother-in-law around his neck is placed in front of the car where the water cup is placed, and it is wet.
The brother-in-law probably took off the talisman because he was sweating when loading the car.
Due to the small size of the county, and the fact that both of them are in the year of their birth, rumors have been spread for a long time, and finally even the flag TV station came out to refute the rumors, and the rumors were gradually stopped.
The final story was my friend's father. He works in the county cultural center, and his occupation is related to the Bahrain stone (our unique bloodstone).
Maybe it's because I've been with Qishi for a long time, but my friend's father is very quiet.
In the year of his sixty-first (imaginary year), a spiritual friend told him that there were disasters in the natal year, and that it was not too small, so it was best to be prepared ......
My friend's father was usually quiet, and he didn't change much. He only asked my friend to get him a copy of "King Kong Gold" to copy, because he felt that "Diamond Sutra" talks about emptiness, life is empty, and copying the scriptures can make him become peaceful to face life and death.
He usually copied scriptures, studied and studied strange stones, and the day passed ...... very quickly
Nothing happened in the natal year.
He has been copying the "Diamond Sutra" for more than ten years, and the last time I went to see him, he was seventy-three years old, and he also joked with our juniors: People say seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades does not call himself to go, you look at my bones, it is estimated that it is no problem to live to eighty-four...
We all laughed and said, "You can live to be a hundred years old....＂
The story is finished, I hope you enjoy it.
If you have a similar true story, you can tell it and share it...
