What should prospective grandma and future grandson prepare for the first meeting?
Time flies, as if in the blink of an eye, my daughter has grown up, married and become the daughter-in-law of my in-laws. At the wedding, when my father took his daughter's hand and reluctantly walked to his son-in-law, I entrusted my daughter's life happiness to her son-in-law. I let the tears of happiness flow all over my cheeks, and the sweet and sour pictures of parenting are quickly replayed at this moment. When my daughter had enough fun and told her mother excitedly that she was pregnant, I felt another kind of joy as a mother. Children get married and have children, which is the ardent expectation of China's parents and an unfinished concern. Parents spend their life's energy and savings for their children's growth, marriage and career, in order to see the reproduction and inheritance of the next generation and happiness. It won't be long before I am promoted to grandma. Of course, I'm very happy. When I first became a mother, my mother carefully prepared clothes, hats and diapers for my grandson, salted eggs, sour vinegar and dozens of hens for my daughter's confinement. The scene is vivid in my mind, and the feeling of care and happiness fills my heart. More than 20 years have passed, and my former daughter has become a grandmother. It's time for me to start thinking about and preparing gifts for my upcoming grandson. Of course, the times are developing, and the requirements of the post-80 s daughters are also high. What standard should I prepare according to? I really think too much. To be on the safe side, I turned to my mother for help again and decided to combine fashion with tradition, environmental protection with demand, so that my newborn grandson could feel grandma's deep love. Seeing this, you must want to know what my grandmother-to-be will prepare for her grandson. Then look at the list: first, a small coat made of old clothes. According to the custom in rural areas in the past, BB, who was just born and brought home from the hospital, must wear a small coat and hat made of old cotton-padded clothes worn by grandma or mother-in-law, as well as a square diaper (sterilized at high temperature and exposed to the sun, of course), which is soft and comfortable, without worrying about any harmful substances polluting BB's delicate skin or wrapping diapers. I think this way of waste utilization is not only in line with the spirit of thrift advocated by the central government at present, but also very environmentally friendly. The second is to raise dozens of hens for her daughter to recover from confinement. I don't know when it started. The main food for local new mothers is to eat hen stewed rice wine. Many families kill a chicken every day and rarely kill one every other day. It is convenient and nutritious, which is very beneficial for new mothers to recover their vitality and keep fit. The third is salted eggs. Salted duck eggs will be preserved about one month before the daughter gives birth, using the traditional method: the harvested bean stalks will be dried and burned into ashes, then the bean stalks will be made into thick paste with boiled strong brine, and these black masses will be wrapped with washed and dried duck eggs in advance, stacked together and preserved in a clay pot for 20 days. It is said that eating these salted duck eggs when eating porridge can tonify the kidney and strengthen the spleen and stomach, and BB also wets the bed less. The third is to prepare a cup of rice vinegar. Mainly used to cook pig's trotters. On the one hand, a new mother can get rid of blood stasis by eating vinegar properly. On the other hand, when neighbors, relatives and friends come to visit and congratulate her, the host family will scoop a bowl of pork knuckle vinegar full of cotton fragrance and sour taste for the guests to taste. Guests will certainly praise "good acid, good acid" (Sun). The homonym of acid and Sun in the vernacular is to give us a good start. Moreover, when BB holds wine to celebrate the full moon, pig's foot vinegar is also an indispensable delicacy. Speaking of BB full moon, grandma will give the baby clothes, hats, shoes, quilts, backpacks and other new supplies. On the day of the full moon, according to the old practice, grandma will wrap more than N zongzi to make a peach hairpin, and she will wrap a big zongzi almost one meter long. At present, when relatives and friends who come to congratulate the banquet leave, the host family will give each guest two zongzi and two birthday peaches as gifts. Legend has it that grandma's gift of zongzi to her daughter has a special meaning, that is, she hopes her daughter will have a son next time. This is a vivid and earnest wish, hehe. To tell the truth, is my prospective grandmother prepared according to the list listed above, and I must respect the opinions of my son-in-law and daughter. I think as long as my daughter recovers and my grandson grows up quickly, it doesn't matter what to prepare or how much to prepare.
