Liu Yihua turned back and smiled wryly: "! How do I know what to do? But I don't think your mother will kick me out of the house with garlic? After all, this is my new son-in-law."
Liu Yifei is very nervous now. Although she and Liu Yihua are already married, after all, this is a major marriage event. The Chinese nation still pays great attention to tradition and family. No matter how independent Liu Yifei is, she must listen to her parents' opinions on marriage matters. ah.
After arriving at the living room and taking a seat, Liu Yifei's mother said, "Yihua, it's the first time you've come to Auntie's house, and Auntie doesn't have anything to entertain you. Do you drink tea or coffee? Or drinks?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I can do whatever I want."
Wang Zhenghua next to him said, "Let me just drink! Yihua, why don't you and I drink?"
Liu Yifei's mother asked strangely, "What kind of wine are you drinking? Yi Hua is a civilized person, who is as rude as you?"
Well! Wang Zhenghua was depressed, tilted his head, and started watching TV.
Mother Liu gave Wang Zhenghua a white look, and smiled again: "Yihua, there is no 'casual' here, auntie, so let's drink tea! By the way, Yihua, you can know the meaning of your name. It seems that you are very familiar with some traditional Chinese culture. Do you understand better?" Mother Liu asked seemingly casually while fiddling with the tea set.
Liu Yifei glanced nervously at Liu Yihua, which meant: "Be careful, the exam is about to begin."
Liu Yihua looked at Liu Yifei helplessly, and then smiled wryly: "Auntie, I'm not very talented, I really don't have research, maybe I don't even know a thing or two."
Liu's mother smiled and said, "Okay, young people know how to be humble, that's good! But don't be too modest, it will become proud." It seems that Liu Yifei's mother has no intention of letting Liu Yihua go.
Liu Yihua sneered, but was choked by Liu's mother and couldn't speak. I thought to myself that I would be a dead pig, not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, so you can take the test later. It can also be added to the meal when it is cooked.
At this time, the water in the electric kettle on the coffee table was boiling, and Liu's mother took a beautiful tea bucket and said, "Yihua, this tea is said to be produced in a holy place of Taoism. It is said to be very good, please open it for me, auntie." Make you some tea."
Liu Yihua quickly opened the package and said, "I'll come, Auntie, don't worry about it."
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he picked up the tea leaves and put them in a small teapot, then filled them with boiling water, and then poured out the first tea to wash the teacups.
When Wang Zhenghua saw it, he said distressedly: "This is tea from a friend from my hometown, what a pity to throw it away like this..."
Mother Liu glared and said, "What do you know, you bastard? The first tea in the south is used to wash cups, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Liu Yihua smiled awkwardly while holding the teacup, and gave Liu Yifei a wink.
His act of washing the cup just now caused Wang Zhenghua to beat Liu's mother and said that now Liu Yifei needs to come out to adjust the atmosphere. Otherwise, my new son-in-law might have trouble at both ends.
Liu Yifei understood, and quickly smiled and said, "Father, do you know where Yihua's hometown is?"
Wang Zhenghua was stunned for a moment and then said embarrassedly: "This... I really didn't pay attention. But I know the other aspects of Yihua's situation very well." Wang Zhenghua was very afraid that his daughter Liu Yifei would say that he didn't care about Liu Yihua. My daughter has been a maverick since she was a child, so Wang Yifei is the only name I can give her, but she insisted on following her mother's surname, so she made a Liu Yifei herself. Wang Zhenghua had no choice but to do nothing.
Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said, "Hmph, if you don't know, just say you don't know, and you have to find out so many reasons? Dad, let me tell you—Yihua's hometown is also in Qilu Province!"
Wang Zhenghua was told several times by his wife today, and he was depressed. After hearing the words, he was overjoyed. He got up, patted Liu Yihua and laughed loudly: "Is it true? Haha, so I am still a fellow. My hometown is Yimeng Mountain! Good! Yifei I'm relieved to be with you! Hello fellow!"
Liu Yihua almost threw away the teacup in his hand, only grinning silly. Liu Yifei's father is really generous.
Mother Liu glared again and said, "What are you talking about? Don't worry about it? This matter hasn't been finalized yet, is it Yihua? Anyway, you are young, so spend more time together to cultivate your relationship!"
Liu Yihua nodded helplessly and smiled, what else can you say
Seeing that Liu Yihua was still calm at this time, Liu's mother secretly praised Liu Yihua, then picked up the outer packaging of the tea and said, "Huh? Yihua, do you see what is written on the tea leaves? Dao 1, Dao 2... What do you mean? This tea is from your hometown in Qilu Province. Do you know that?"
Well! Liu Yihua almost vomited blood! I want to know everything from our hometown? Then Confucius belongs to our Qilu, do I also want to know all his knowledge? "
Mother Liu saw Liu Yihua sweating profusely, and wondered if she was embarrassing the child too much? How could the new generation know about this ancient culture? Hey, forget it, or can he just make do? It seems that it is very difficult for me to find a perfect partner for my daughter.
Thinking of this, Liu's mother joked: "Hehe, I brought a few boxes of this kind of tea to my colleagues. One guy explained it this way: "In Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Dao produces one, one produces two, and two produces three." , Sanshengwuwu'... This means: God created Tai Chi, the unity of opposites, and this 'one' is Jesus and Satan. Jesus and Satan gave birth to angels... Then, Jesus, Satan, and angels created the universe All things. Hehe, how funny, when Lao Tzu wrote the "Tao Te Ching", he also communicated with Jesus?"
Liu Yihua was sweating profusely while making tea. Now he procrastinates as much as he can, talks less, and makes a fortune in silence.
Wang Zhenghua said angrily, "What nonsense explanation? Why is the culture of our Chinese nation on the sidelines with foreign gods? Playing the piano "indiscriminately"! It's better to talk about Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nanhai Guanyin, and Sun Wukong!"
Mother Liu also laughed and said, "I also think it's 'disorderly' playing the piano! But now young people in our country have forgotten about their ancestors, and blindly adoring foreigners is not a good sign. Yihua, you have to understand this sentence , just talk casually! Don’t worry, Auntie won’t test you anymore, you are already qualified to be Yifei’s boyfriend.”
Liu Yihua was excited for a while, put 3 cups of tea on a small tray, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Auntie, Yifei...you have tea."
Wang Zhenghua took the tea, took a sip and said, "It smells so good! Hehe, Yihua is still a master of tea ceremony!"
After Mother Liu drank a cup of tea, Liu Yihua quickly took the empty cup.
Mother Liu nodded and said: "Okay, don't be so courteous, you will be my child from now on, and Auntie will take care of you when you come home, you see Yi Fei is too lazy to do anything at home!"
Liu Yifei's mother has long seen the relationship between Liu Yihua and Liu Yifei. So, what can she do as a mother in this situation? Unless Liu Yihua is seriously unqualified, Liu Yifei's mother will turn a blind eye.
Liu Yifei is very happy now, she said tenderly: "Mom, how can you say that in front of Yihua? Who said I don't do anything? I just do everything at Yihua's house."
Liu Yifei's mother smiled and said: "Hey, it should be, if you are still so lazy in front of your mother-in-law, you really won't be able to get married. I will find time to visit Yihua's mother these days. By the way, Yihua, If you want to know what that means, just talk about it, anyway, now Auntie thinks you have passed the test."
Liu Yihua smiled modestly and said: "Okay, then Auntie, I will just talk nonsense. Don't laugh at it if it is not good! I think 'Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things'... this The words must have something to do with Taoism. What Lao Tzu originally meant might be:
Dao Shengyi: Our universe was originally chaotic, like a big ball, without distinction between heaven and earth. Maybe this is Dao Shengyi
One Life Two: Later, the chaotic universe was finally separated and split into two poles and two halves. The "two" can be called: Yin and Yang; they can also be called heaven and earth. This is life two, right
Two begets three: Later, there are two kinds of substances, yin and yang, and heaven and earth, then the third factor—human being is born!
Three Lives and All Things: With heaven, earth, and people, everything in the world can be created! "
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, she saw that Liu's mother was holding a cup of tea in a daze, and she didn't even know that the tea was flowing out.
Liu Yifei whispered at the side: "Mom, Yihua is talking nonsense, don't be angry if you are wrong, you see that your tea has been spilled."
Mother Liu came back to her senses, stared at Liu Yihua vigorously, then drank the tea in her hand, put the teacup vigorously on the tea table, and made a "pop" sound.
Liu Yihua was agitated, thinking that the mother-in-law is angry? Throw a glass? You won't wait to throw a cup as a sign and rush into a group of knife and axemen, will you
Mother Liu put down her glass and was excited for a while. She pulled Liu Yifei and said, "Daughter, mother is not angry but happy. You are really happy to find a boyfriend like Yihua. From now on, you can rest assured that you will follow Yihua's mother." Yes! Hehe, mom is so happy today, her daughter has grown up and has a boyfriend, and she will get married soon."
After Liu's mother finished speaking, she picked up a tissue on the table and wiped away her tears. Who would be willing to marry off the daughter he raised so hard? It's just that it's not easy for Liu Yifei to find such a boyfriend, Mother Liu.
faint! Liu Yihua was a little silly. Things changed so quickly that Liu Yifei and Liu Yihua were not sure what happened. Why is Liu Yifei's mother so happy all of a sudden
After a while, Liu Yifei carefully asked: "Mom, what do you mean by...? Are you confused? Why are you still crying?"
Mother Liu wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Silly boy, why would I be angry? I am happy, and I am also happy when I cry! Just now Yihua's answer is so good! I think it is better than your grandfather's explanation!"
After a pause, Liu Yifei's mother continued: "I heard your grandfather explain this, and I was still a little confused at the time. Today, my mother suddenly understood after listening to Yi Hua's explanation! So what does this sentence mean? Yi Hua The explanation is really easy to understand! Where can I find such a perfect son-in-law and mother? I didn't expect to find such a one for me today!"
Both Liu Yihua and Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and smiled at each other.
Liu Yifei's mother was happy for a while and then said: "Yihua, it seems that you really have a lot of research on those ancient things. So, let's study it today, okay? Even if we discuss each other. Yifei's grandpa I prefer to study these things. At that time, I didn’t study seriously, and I didn’t know much about many things. Later, I entered politics again, and those feudal superstitions can no longer be practiced. However, many things left by our ancestors are not necessarily feudal. Superstition, right? I always feel that there are some very reasonable things in it. There are also some more esoteric things. For example, Qigong, Bazi, I Ching Bagua, Feng Shui... Many people say these things are feudal superstitions. Yi Hua, What do you think?"
Since the discussion is open now, Liu Yihua can speak freely. He said: "Auntie, I think the things that exist in this world are reasonable. What you just said has been passed down in our Chinese nation for thousands of years. If these things have no value, how can they be passed down from generation to generation? The ancients were not completely fools, right? These things may be very profound, and there is no way to explain them with modern medicine and science, so they branded us as "superstitions". This is my personal opinion."
Liu Yihua really has research on these. Maybe Liu Yifei told her mother? Otherwise, why would Liu Yifei's mother suddenly communicate these issues with Liu Yihua? You must know that most young people today have never heard of these things, let alone know a thing or two.
Liu Yifei said angrily: "Mom, how could Yihua know these things so profoundly? I know what kind of name Yihua seems to be...I find it funny to be so mysterious. In short, I don't think these things are necessarily scientific. The value of research, young people in our new era don’t need to study these, right?”
Liu Yifei's mother smiled wryly and said, "Yifei, you, what can I say about you? If the new generation of young people in our country abandon those ancient traditions and culture as easily as you do, how can our country's 5,000-year civilization be reflected? We After losing the civilization of the previous 5,000 years, we are not as good as Western developed countries in terms of modern civilization and technology. So, what else do we have? What culture and civilization can our country produce?"
What Liu Yifei's mother said was a bit deafening. Ruo Liu Yifei was a little stunned. Even Liu Yihua was shocked. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei's mother is so far-sighted that she cares about the thoughts and cultural education of young people at this time.
Thinking of this, Liu Yihua couldn't help but said: "Auntie is well said! I just think that the teenagers in our country are not doing well in this aspect. You see, after our country changed traditional Chinese characters into simplified Chinese characters, it began to eliminate those so-called Feudalism and "superstition" beliefs. Yes, feudalism and "superstition" beliefs must be eliminated, but you can't kill many excellent traditions and cultures of the Chinese nation with one stick, right? You can see that Hong Kong and Taiwan have done a very good job in this regard. Okay. But what about our country? Now it’s almost the Spring Festival. Kowtow to the elders is an ancient tradition in our country, right? But now? How many people in the city kowtow to their elders during the New Year? How many young people care these traditions
In ten or twenty years, I don't think people in the cities, especially the rural people, will kowtow to their elders during Chinese New Year, let alone the cities. When they abandoned these traditions openly in their hearts, they didn't know that they had lost some things that the descendants of Yan and Huang should have. The descendants of Yan and Huang... If we continue to develop on this track, the young people in our country will continue to abandon the ancient culture and traditions of the Chinese nation, and learn the so-called advanced civilizations of advanced Western countries, even Kazakhstan, Japan, Kazakhstan... One day, our new generation Can young people still pat their chests and say that I am a descendant of Yanhuang? Dare you say it? What are descendants of the Yellow Emperor? What kind of knowledge and qualities should the descendants of Yan and Huang possess? I'm afraid everyone will not know by then, and everyone doesn't want to know. On that day, we will deeply understand the sentence in the national anthem: The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment! "
Liu Yihua felt a little dry mouth after speaking, and then grabbed the teacup and took a big sip of tea. Anyway, this is my own opinion, whether right or wrong, I said it myself. And all these things that I said will happen. For a long period of time in the future, young people in our country will be proud of forgetting the ancient traditions of the Chinese nation, Japan, Japan and South Korea as a fashion! Don't you know that South Korea and Japan regard the traditional culture of our Chinese nation as a treasure! Liu Yihua felt that this was simply a great irony!
"Okay! Well said! Yihua, the worries I just mentioned are those of some old scholars. I didn't expect you to have such a long-term sense of urgency at such a young age. It is really rare. It seems that I will report to the relevant departments Make a good suggestion, vigorously grasp the political and ideological education of our country's youth. Increase the education of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Only by taking precautions can we avoid the tragedy you just mentioned! If one day our descendants are not worthy Call it the descendants of the Yellow Emperor... that is definitely the most critical moment for the Chinese nation!"
Liu Yifei's mother looked very excited. She had to be excited. Because she found that Liu Yihua's long-term vision is unbelievable! Liu Yihua's emphasis on and love for the ancient culture and traditions of the Chinese nation also shocked Liu Yifei's mother! You must know that Liu Yihua is a standard young man in the new era. Moreover, Liu Yihua lived in the countryside since he was a child. How could he know so much ancient culture living in the countryside? Liu Yifei's mother thinks that Liu Yihua is simply a very magical young man.
Liu Yifei was a little dumbfounded listening to her mother and Liu Yihua's set of big theories, and then she said cautiously: "You... all criticize me together? But I didn't say to completely abandon the traditional culture of the Chinese nation? I also didn't blindly pursue the West. The so-called advanced civilization of developed countries, so I should be a qualified new generation, right?"
Liu Yifei's mother curled her lips and said, "Are you qualified? You haven't abandoned the traditional culture of the Chinese nation? Then let me ask you: How long is an hour? According to the lunar calendar, when does a day change? Is it the second after the Spring Festival?" The zodiac sign of the year?"
