Chapter 55. The origin of the name
But her grandmother said, "Isn't it? Just because there was a cluster of hibiscus flowers blooming on the edge of the courtyard dam, after he caught a glimpse of it, he gave her a 'Xiang Hibiscus'.

It was because your grandfather felt that the name was taken too casually, so he asked our teacher in Wantou to look through the dictionary and change it. This is the current 'Jin'. "

It turned out to be the case, no wonder she said that the radicals in her name are different from Xiang Nan's. Like a family with two or more children, the radicals of the name are the same, but she and Xiang Nan There has always been a difference of one hundred and eight thousand miles.

So her first name was "Xiang Jin"?

Hehe, it's really ironic, and I don't care about it at all!
Then I heard Xiang Nan shouting angrily, "Then I don't want my name, I want to change it!"

Her sister's name was chosen randomly, and her name must be chosen very casually, so she doesn't want to keep asking her family to give her this name.

Yang Juyun said, "You child, your name has been called for so many years, why should you change it? The people in Wantou, and the classmates in your class, who don't know that your name is Xiang Nan? Your sister is from It was changed before the first month of life was born."

The little girl said, "No, I want to change it. My sister's current name is so beautiful and has such a good meaning. I also want to change to a name that is as beautiful as hers and has a good meaning. I don't want this 'Nan' Well, I hate flowers, plants and trees the most!"

Looking at her pouting mouth, with displeasure and resentment on her face, Xiang Jin teased her, "Then what name do you want? Is it the same name with different pronunciation, or do you just want to change the name?

If you just replace it, it will be a bit troublesome. After all, your name has been called for so many years, and it is inevitable that you will have to explain it to others. "

The little girl frowned, looking troubled and distressed. After a while, she said, "Well, what should I do? Anyway, I don't like this word."

"It's just that you don't like this word? That's easy, just change it to another word!" Xiang Jin said.

As soon as the little girl's eyes lit up, she raised her head suddenly, looked at her with hope and asked, "Then, what's the word for that?"

"There are so many, there are nasal and lateral consonants. For example, both nasal consonants have southern 'nan', and boys' 'nan', etc.; and lateral consonants have blue sky's 'blue', and 'Lan', which means a hill, also has a majestic 'Lan', and a colorful 'Lan', etc., etc., there are so many!"

The little girl immediately said, "I want the 'lan' in the side phonetic characters, not the nasal ones."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then you can choose one of the words I told you just now, anyway, it will sound the same at that time, and you don't need to explain too much to others, probably At that time, only your teacher and a few students will know."

Xiang Nan nodded in agreement, "Yeah!"

Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Is it not too late to find a fortune-teller and character tester to find out which of the five elements is missing in her horoscope?"

Xiang Jin's second uncle and grandfather also agreed, "Well, this has to be tested."

Xiang Nan quit, "Isn't it? Then I didn't take the test before. I just gave it a name. After so many years, isn't it living well? Why do I have to take the test again now? I have chosen it, and I will The majestic 'Lan' has the meaning of grandeur and majesty."

The whole family couldn't help laughing, but they still didn't obey her. Xiang Jin's grandpa and grandma still asked Xiang Jin to list a few words representing the respective attributes of gold, wood, water and earth.

Xiang Nan was very unhappy, so Xiang Jin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my sister has found something good for you."

The little girl was still a little displeased with moaning, but she didn't refute.

After the second uncle finished cutting all the bamboos, he asked Xiang Jin where they cut bamboos, and he said that he would go and chop some more.

Xiang Jin told him that she would take him there, and Aunt Liao said, "Hey, what's the point of running so far, I just go to my bamboo forest to chop. My family hasn't used bamboo to weave things in recent years. A lot."

In this era, even the bamboo was planted by every household. There was a large area of ​​bamboo behind Lao Xiang's house, but after they had a fight with Lao Xiang's house, they naturally would not go to his house to chop bamboo. So Xiang Jin went directly to the sloping field of the back mountain group to chop.

Xiang Jin and the others were not polite, but she didn't know where the bamboo in Aunt Liao's house was planted, so she didn't mention taking his second uncle there again, but her mother said to go with him.

Xiang Jin hurriedly said, "Then I'll go too, and I'll help you fight the bamboo." In fact, she wanted to go to find the ground, and if she needed anything else next time, she could go by herself.

Yang Juyun thought that it was not too far away, and she would not get much sunlight, so she did not stop her.

Walking on the road, Xiang Jin asked, "Second Uncle, isn't the bamboo I cut this morning not enough?"

Her second uncle said, "Enough is enough, but I want to use bamboo to weave a few chairs for you, and then get a bamboo table and a bamboo bed. When the time comes, I will put them in the shed, so I won't take them from home. Your aunt's house doesn't have extra tables, chairs and benches for us to take."

"Oh, I understand," Xiang Jin nodded, and then said, "Second Uncle, you are really amazing!"

Her second uncle smiled slightly, and then her mother said, "Your second uncle is a bamboo craftsman, and the dustpans, bamboo mats, and mats he weaves are all very delicate. Here Those who live in ten miles and eight bays are very famous.”

Oh, so I was also a craftsman, but there are so many craftsmen in this era, from all walks of life!

Xiang Jin said, "Then I'll go to the mountain to chop some bamboos tomorrow. Aunt Liao's bamboos will be chopped when I need them."

Her mother and her second uncle didn't object, after all, it belonged to someone else's house. Although others don't need it, you can't chop it up without restraint. It is my duty not to let you chop.

How can you use up all of your favors all at once?
So her second uncle said, "Okay, then you can chop it up when the time comes, and the second uncle will move it after chopping it up."

"it is good!"

They only cut two bamboos in the bamboo grove of Aunt Liao's house, and her second uncle planned to make two bamboo chairs today, so it would be useless for Xiang Jin to follow her.

Her second uncle was holding two bamboos, and her mother dragged the chopped bamboo tips back home, but she could only hold back the machete.

After returning home, her second uncle quickly sawed, punched holes, and chipped the bamboo with a knife in his hand... Soon, a symmetrical chair frame was assembled.

Immediately afterwards, her second uncle thinned the joint between the sawed chair legs and the chair belly, and then he took a handful of straw to an open space beside the courtyard dam to light it, and then put the thinned bamboo sections on the rice fire. Bake it back and forth.

When the originally hard bamboo segment was softened by heating, he skillfully bent it into a ninety-degree arc, and then the chair legs were formed, and then he connected the chair surface and laid the seat board , embedded with sharpened bamboo nails, and finally a delicate bamboo chair appeared.

Xiang Jin stared at the side with straight eyes, "Wow, Second Uncle, you are simply amazing, you can make a chair in such a short period of time, you can't lose your skills , you have to keep it up."

You must know that in the future, traditional craftsmen like them will be very popular, and many people will make a fortune by relying on this. I think she bought a very ordinary bamboo shauke online, which cost her a palm. It's 25 yuan.
