However, her grandmother said, "Isn't that right? Because there was a cluster of hibiscus flowers blooming beside the courtyard dam, and after he caught a glimpse of it, he gave her a 'Hibiscus hibiscus'."
Or your grandpa thought that the name was too casual, so he asked our teacher from Wantou to look up the dictionary and change it, and this is the current ‘Jin’.”
It turns out that's what happened. No wonder she said that the radicals in her and Xiang Nan's names are different. For families with two or more children, the radicals in their names are the same, but her and Xiang Nan's names have different radicals.
It has always been a thousand miles apart.
It turns out that her name was "Xiang Jin" in the first place?
Haha, it’s really sarcastic, and it doesn’t take you seriously at all!
Then I heard Xiang Nan yelling angrily from the side, "Then I don't want my name, I want to change it!"
Her sister's name was chosen casually, and her name must have been chosen casually as well. She didn't want to keep asking her family for the name they gave her.
Yang Juyun said, "You kid, you've been called by that name for so many years, why do you want to change it? Who among the people in Wantou and your classmates doesn't know that your name is Xiang Nan? Your sister's name is from childhood.
I changed it before I was even a month old."
The little girl said, "No, I have to change it. My sister's current name sounds so nice and has such a good meaning. I also want to change it to a name that sounds as nice 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 pouted little mouth with a look of displeasure and annoyance, Xiang Jin teased her, "Then what name do you want? Is it the same pronunciation but different characters, or do you want to just change the name?"
It would still be a bit troublesome to replace it directly. After all, you have been called by this name for so many years, so you will inevitably have to explain it to others. "
The little girl frowned, looking troubled. After a while, she said, "Well, what should I do? I don't like this word anyway."
"I just don't like this word? That's easy, just change it to another word!" Xiang Jin said.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly raised her head, looking at her hopefully, and asked, "Then, what word should I change it to?"
"There are many. There are nasal sounds and side sounds. For example, if they are both nasal sounds, they have 'nan' from the south, and 'male' for boys; and for side sounds, there are 'blue' from blue sky, and
'Lan' means hill, there is also 'Lan' which means magnificent waves, and there is also 'Lan' which means colorful, etc., there are so many!"
The little girl immediately said, "I want the word 'lan' with the side sound, not the nasal sound."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then just choose one of the words I just told you. Anyway, they will all sound the same and you don't need to explain too much to others. I guess
At that time, only your teacher and a few classmates will know."
Xiang Nan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked, "To see if it's better to go find a fortune teller and take a test to see which of the five elements is missing in her horoscope, then it won't be too late to pick it up?"
Xiang Jin, her second uncle and her grandfather also agreed, "Well, this needs to be tested."
Xiang Nan quit, "Isn't it? Then I haven't taken the test before. I just put a name on it, and I have been living well for so many years? Why do I need to take the test now? I have already chosen it, and I want to
That magnificent wave has the meaning of majesty and majesty."
The family couldn't help laughing, but they still didn't listen to her. Xiang Jin's grandparents still asked Xiang Jin to list a few words that represented the attributes of metal, wood, water, and earth.
Xiang Nan was very unhappy, so Xiang Jin comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I've found a good one for you."
The little girl was still a little unhappy, but she didn't refute.
After the second uncle cut all the bamboos, he asked Xiang Jin where they cut the bamboos. He said that he would go and cut some more.
Xiang Jin told him that she would take him there, and Aunt Liao said, "Hey, why don't you have to travel so far? Just go to my bamboo forest and cut it. My family hasn't used bamboo to weave anything in the past few years. The bamboo has grown so bad."
A lot."
In this era, even bamboos were planted by every household. There was a large area of bamboo behind Lao Xiang's house. However, after they had a problem with Lao Xiang's family, they naturally would not go to his house to cut bamboo.
So Xiang Jin always went directly to the slope of the back mountain collective to cut it.
Xiang Jin and the others were not polite, but she didn't know where Aunt Liao's bamboos were grown, so she didn't mention taking her second uncle there again, but her mother said she would go with him.
Xiang Jin hurriedly said, "Then I'll go too, I'll help you fight the bamboo." In fact, she wanted to go find the place, and if there was any need next time, she could go by herself.
Yang Juyun thought that it wasn't very far away and wouldn't get much sunlight, so she didn't stop him.
While walking on the road, Xiang Jin asked, "Second uncle, didn't I chop enough bamboo this morning?"
Her second uncle said, "Enough is enough, but I want to make you some chairs out of bamboo, and also make a bamboo table and a bamboo bed. Then I will put them in the shed instead of taking them from home.
Your aunt’s house doesn’t have any extra tables, chairs or benches for us to get.”
"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. The dustpans, bamboo mats, and mats he made are all very exquisite. Here,
The ones in Shilibawan are all very famous."
Oh, I turned out to be 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 cut some bamboo tomorrow. Aunt Liao's bamboo will be cut again when I need more."
Her mother and her second uncle didn't object. After all, this is someone else's house. Although others say they don't use it, you can't just chop it all up without restraint. To put it bluntly, it's a favor for others to allow you to see it.
I won't let you cut it, that's my duty.
How can you use up all your favors in one fell swoop?
So her second uncle said, "Okay, you can chop it when the time comes. Once it's done, my second uncle will move it."
"good!"
They only cut two bamboos in the bamboo forest at Aunt Liao's house. Her second uncle planned to make two bamboo chairs today, so it was useless for Xiang Jin to follow them.
Her second uncle was holding on to two bamboo sticks, while her mother dragged the chopped bamboo tips home, while she could only hold on to the machete and go back.
After returning home, her second uncle quickly sawed the bamboo into sections, drilled holes, and chipped it... Soon, a symmetrical chair frame was assembled.
Immediately afterwards, her second uncle thinned the connection between the sawed chair legs and the chair belly. Then he took an armful of straw to an open space next to the courtyard dam, lit it, and then placed the thinned bamboo segments on the rice fire.
Bake it up and down.
When the originally hard bamboo section was softened by heating, he skillfully bent it into a ninety-degree arc, and then the chair legs were formed. Then he connected the chair surface and laid out the seat board.
, embedded with sharpened bamboo nails, and finally an exquisite bamboo chair appeared.
Xiang Jin stared at him with eyes wide open, "Wow, second uncle, you are so amazing. In such a short period of time, you can make a chair. Don't lose your skills."
, you have to maintain it well."
You have to know that in the future, traditional craftsmen like them will be very popular, and many people will make a fortune from this. I think she spent a lot of money on a very ordinary, palm-sized bamboo rice cooker online.
