Since going abroad, the phone time with my mother's ** has gradually become longer, from 10 minutes to 30 minutes, and recently gradually extended to an hour. **The main content is, look at my sister, tell each other about missing each other, and then discuss with me her latest collection of parents. As a mature woman, I don't go against her anymore, and probably to make amends, I try to pick and choose what she likes to say.
Last time, I was excited to share my Year of the Dragon horoscope with my mom. She belongs to the rabbit, according to the master, this year's financial luck is good, and there is an auspicious star Mo Yue, indicating that the career luck is good. Put it on my mother's head, playing mahjong this year is basically a kill pattern. There is another auspicious star Heavenly Doctor, which is better, indicating that it is healthy, even if it is a minor illness, it will be cured soon.
I was talking lotus, but she was not overjoyed, and she was extraordinarily reserved.
My mom is even more curious, why are you just listening to this?
Speaking of which, it is still an invitation from a friend. In China, the largest banquets are invited to economists to talk about the future development of today's world economic trends, and in Singapore, the master is invited to talk about the zodiac fortune. Mr. Feng Shui talked eloquently on the stage: Friends who belong to horses are more suitable for investing in real estate this year, and friends who belong to dogs should be a little more patient in their careers, and it is easy to become impatient this year.
This is the first time I have attended a Feng Shui lecture, and I am more serious than before, for fear of missing the point. What is the direction of positive wealth in the southwest position, sign an important contract, preferably in the southwest position. Partial wealth is located in the southeast, after buying lottery tickets, remember to put the southeast direction of the home.
The master also emphasized that if you want to make a fortune, you must not put a shoe cabinet at the gate of your house. This is no different from the country, the shoes are the same evil, and there are too many shoes at the door, which scares away the God of Wealth.
My friend shared with me that I wanted to worship the God of Wealth, and remember to go to Sembawang, which is very prosperous. If you ask for anything else, it's best to go to the Guanyin Temple, everything is very accurate.
When I came to Singapore, I learned that the Chinese Singaporeans believe in feng shui. It is said that the Merlion Park is a huge array of wealth-sucking feng shui, so it's no wonder everyone runs to pretend to drink a drink of the water that the Merlion spits out.
It is also true that there are gods and Buddhas everywhere here. Once I made an appointment with a friend to drink sweet soup, and after drinking, I walked to the first floor and found several fox fairy halls. In an instant, I seemed to have traveled to the scene in the TVB TV series, where a certain wife was indignant because her husband was hooked by a fox spirit, and she was indignant and asked the fox fairy to discuss how to drive the villain. Or in that kind of costume drama, the foxy woman giggles in the fox fairy hall, with a slender waist and ......a swaying skirt
When I passed by, I looked desperately a few times, and found that the overall tone of these fox fairy halls was pink, but each one didn't look like business was doing well, and the entrance hall looked cold. Maybe there are fewer and fewer women who ask for peach blossoms, or avoid peach blossoms.
The more I talked, the more I started to share with my mom what I had learned about Feng Shui in Singapore, and I warned her about many precautions. For example, you can't cut down the tree at home, this tree is particular. also reminded her not to take those unwanted things at home, hoarding too much will affect luck, and throw it away.
When the country was in high spirits, my mother said: "You didn't learn anything else when you went to Singapore, so you learned a little feudal superstition." “
Although she is the first feudal superstition in my opinion. There is no one more superstitious than her.
In the past, every time I came back from a trip, I just arrived at the door with my child in my arms, and my mother insisted on one thing, the first step when I went home, first took the child to the kitchen for a turn. Every time I forget, or don't remember something, and then the child cries at night, she must give a resentful look, "What did I say, you didn't go to the stove room (Songjiang dialect, kitchen), so the child is going to make trouble." ”
I have never sorted out the relationship between them, and sometimes I want to ask, what is the truth, I have to go to the kitchen as soon as possible? My mother also said: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, tell you how to do it, you just do it.
She also has a lot of inexplicable taboos, one year I planted a wooden hydrangea in the yard, and my mother was not satisfied with it because the flowers were white and unlucky. I took her around the neighborhood and looked, this one has white flowers, and that one has it, what else do you have to say? She shook her head and said: People don't understand, and you don't understand? How else can I hurt you?
On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, my mother would go to Xilin Temple to burn incense, and she firmly believed that all my personal achievements were the result of her efforts to seek the Buddha. When I moved, she had to inform the Bodhisattva that her daughter's house had changed its address, and that she would like to go to this address to continue to bless her in the future.
You said that she believed it like this, and dared to accuse me of feudal superstition?
Not only that, but my mother very much disliked me going into the temple outside. She always said that you can't worship the temple outside, and you will be unhappy if you worship the Bodhisattva at home.
One day I talked to her about the fact that I had found a master, and I did some calculations, and it seemed to be quite accurate. She sneered: Hmph, that's not the blind cat running into a dead mouse, just right.
The most accurate master in her heart is a Mr. Bazi she hired for two dollars in the 80s, and the Mr. Bazi said that my arm can be a wall in the future, which means that I want to protect my family from the wind and rain. Every once in a while, my mother would talk about it to verify that the blind fortune teller was a real master.
In short, she worships the true Buddha, because she has a sincere heart and sincerity to open the golden stone. She's the supreme mystical power, and mine is just a small carving insect skill, which is insignificant.
She advised me, you better get less of this, you're still young.
I was ashamed to tell her that the two newly bought lottery tickets had been pressed due north of my home.
What if you get hit?
