Chapter 2 "Three Dynasties"

On the third day of birth, my father went to pick up my grandmother early in the morning.

The three-dynasty send-off in the rural custom means that after the birth of a child, the son-in-law will bring chickens, eggs, and rice wine (some bring dozens of catties) to the Yue’s house to announce the good news, and the grandmother’s house will treat guests, and all relatives and friends will come to participate. Congratulations.Grandpa and grandma will give chicken and rice dumplings in return.

Three days after the birth of a child, there will be "three dynasties".Give the child a bath first, and invite the midwife to eat.Grandma will send big cocks, eggs, noodles, glutinous rice flour and so on.Make "Three Dynasty Wine" and entertain grandma and in-laws.In some places, zongzi is also given to relatives and friends. Relatives and friends will return chicken, eggs, noodles, etc. before the full moon.

I was woken up when I was still in a dream. My uncle and aunt who were married seven years ago also came with two cousins, plus my aunt who was not yet married and my uncle who was in junior high school. They all went into the delivery room to see my mother and me.Of course, it is not easy for the elder uncle and the younger uncle to enter the room, so they were dragged by their father to chat with grandpa in the living room.Grandma and grandma are preparing water for bathing, which contains mugwort leaves, peach branches, grapefruit leaves, and sword grass. It is said that this can wash away the dirt from the baby's "previous life" to ensure the safety of this life.The bath basin must use a copper basin.

I was held in the arms of my aunt, who was still the simple and thin rural woman in my previous life impression. It may be because she gave birth to two cousins ​​in a row, and she couldn't put it down for this girl.

My aunt has a tall figure, so I can't see her tall and strong appearance in her previous life. She seems to have married when I was four years old. She married a muddy man, two years younger than her.Her uncle was nice to her, but her in-laws were very mean to her, and they separated from her as soon as they entered the house. Later, when she was pregnant with her little cousin, because she returned to her mother's house too late for the Chinese New Year and there was no salt at home, she let her four-year-old elder brother The cousin went to ask the in-laws for a spoonful of salt.Her parents-in-law not only refused to give it, but also pushed and scolded her four-year-old eldest cousin.The aunt couldn't help replying, but her father-in-law dragged her down from the attic, completely ignoring her big belly.

As for the two cousins ​​who have always been good to me in the previous life, they looked at me in my aunt’s arms curiously. The eldest cousin was more lively. He kept poking my face with his fingers while the adults were not paying attention. He was only six years old. I couldn't control the strength well, which made me roll my eyes impatiently.On the contrary, the introverted and shy four-year-old cousin silently reached out to block him, and looked at the little cousin with a stubborn face.

Now I'm getting impatient, and I stare at the two of them with relish as they look like cute little Zhengtai.They were at odds in the previous life, the older cousin was called the little cousin Gou Biliang, and the little cousin was called the big cousin Da Pao Dong, but they were quite consistent in their treatment of me.It's just that both of them dropped out of junior high school, and the eldest cousin became a father at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Because he was uneducated and couldn't find any good jobs, he drove a truck in the countryside after getting married and having children. Firewood, silt, stones and the like to earn a little money for life.Although the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt opened a fast food restaurant in Dongcheng, they did well and built a three-story villa for him and the little cousin.But he was also unwilling to do business with him. He heard from his cousin that he didn't want to rely on his parents to help him raise his wife and son.

And my little cousin got married at the age of 26. Before he got married, he saw almost all the girls in the whole city, and finally talked with a girl from another town for two years. The girl was one year younger than me, tall He is only about 1.5 meters five, with thick limbs and a face covered with flesh. He is a kindergarten teacher.I don't know what my little cousin likes about that girl. My grandparents and my mother's four siblings don't like her. It's okay to be ugly, but she's an unpleasant person.Just in love, I ask my little cousin how much money I want for her family. Every time I come to my uncle’s house, I still act like a young lady. I don’t help to pour tea and water, and I don’t say hello to the elders. .During the summer and winter vacations, my little cousin wanted to ask her to go to Dongcheng to help the fast food restaurant do business together, but she refused.

Originally, my little cousin planned to marry her at the age of 22, but her parents helped her find a way for her to pass the primary school teacher's qualification. Of course, she looked down on my little cousin when she was high-spirited.If it wasn't for my uncle's business getting bigger and bigger and returning to the city to open a hotel, she would have dragged my little cousin for a few years for the sake of money.As soon as she knew that she could be a primary school teacher, she immediately found someone to come and refund the deposit to my uncle and aunt.Trying to find a better one.

Later, my mother introduced my classmate's younger sister to my little cousin, a very beautiful, sensible, and well-behaved little girl. After talking for half a year, she went to register for marriage.But the woman saw that my eldest uncle actually opened a hotel, and my younger uncle had a leather goods wholesale chain across the country, so she approached my little cousin again and said that she had always loved him so much that she would die for him.In addition, I found a woman married to my cousin's village to spread rumors about my cousin's promiscuous sex and prostitution.The little cousin is also a person who has no opinion of his own. He believed it as soon as it was passed on, and even ran to the roof of his hotel and said that he was going to jump off the building to die, blaming my mother for introducing him to a lousy woman.And the little cousin is weak, she just keeps crying.Make a fuss.

Let’s talk about the little uncle, he will be admitted to university three years later. I remember that he was admitted to the National University of Science and Technology, but because it is too far from our city to the capital, my grandma asked my dad to send him to the capital.But my dad was very worried because my mother was pregnant with my second brother and had to take me with me, so he bought a train ticket for my little uncle and sent him on the train and then went home.I don't know why my little uncle didn't report to school, so he could only work in a factory.My grandma has been taunting my dad because of this incident.I always feel that my father delayed my uncle's future.

I very much hope that this world can change something for them, at least not to suffer any more twists and turns because of being uneducated.However, what ability do I have to stop the arrangement of fate?I'm not a genius, just an ordinary person.Recalling the bits and pieces of my relatives in the previous life, and thinking of my own ordinaryness, I can't help but feel powerless.God has reborn me, but I have no power to change everything.
