In rural areas, almost every household has a swallow's nest, but in some families, swallows will not go. How do they judge? There is such a saying!

There used to be a rich man named Zhang in our village. Grandma said: Swallows never enter his house, and finally the teacher in the village reveals the mystery to everyone. In rural areas:; In a word, the swallow will bring good luck, so why doesn't the swallow enter the door of Zhang's rich man's house?

Grandmother told this story to Grandma, and Grandma told it to our grandchildren. When I was a child, I grew up in the countryside and I knew swallows all too well. Unexpectedly, there is such a magical saying.

at that time, there was a rich man named Zhang in our village, who was a local tyrant at that time. The fertile land at home is ten thousand mu, which can be described as a rich side. But there is a very strange thing: whoever the swallow enters, he will never enter the door of the rich man's house. For this reason, the rich man Zhang specially consulted the village teacher, Mr. Wang, who not only explained the answer, but also promoted the economy of the whole village.

At Grandma's time, the whole countryside was basically poor. Except for those rich families, most of them lived an out-and-out peasant life. Even many people eat the last meal without the next.

one year, the grain harvest in the village was poor. Many young people think that this is unfair in heaven, and everyone should starve to death. One spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred. As a result, a large number of laborers began to go slow and unwilling to work. Everyone thinks that the result is the same whether they do it or not.

The economy of the village itself is depressed and lifeless. After this incident, it has lost its vitality. At that time, there was an old teacher in our village, surnamed Wang. It should be said that our village was the most knowledgeable at that time. He saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

He has been thinking about how to solve this problem for everyone. If this continues, the village will be abandoned sooner or later, which he doesn't want to see.

Just at this time, the village rich man Zhang came to Mr. Wang's house. Mr. Wang thought he had come to be kind, and asked Mr. Wang to come forward and donate some food for everyone to tide over the difficulties.

But when the rich man Zhang started talking, Mr. Zhang's mood was worse than half. When everyone was fighting for a full meal, the rich man Zhang actually asked Mr.: Why have no swallows ever come to my house? My kid has asked me many times.

Mr. Wang had no intention of thinking about his question, but he was not in a hurry to refuse. At this time, Mr. Wang tentatively said: You know the scene in the village now. I wonder if you would like to give some food to everyone?

I didn't expect the rich man Zhang to say without thinking: There's no problem. As long as Mr. Wang helps me solve this problem, I'll put a hundred burdens on the grain and let everyone tide over the difficulties.

hearing this, Mr. Wang saw hope. But there was no answer in his heart at this time, so he said: Come back this time tomorrow, and I'll tell you the reason.

in the evening, Mr. Wang thought hard all night. He needed the food so badly. Finally, God has eyes, and Mr. Wang has come up with a satisfactory solution, which can not only make the rich man Zhang take out food, but also restore confidence and see hope.

The next day, the rich man Zhang arrived as promised, smiling and waiting for Mr. Zhang to dispel his doubts. Mr. Wang is in no hurry. Let him sit down first and then say: Do you know why the swallows won't come to your house?

the rich man Zhang said: My talent is dull, please give me your advice. Mr. Wang said: This is good luck, because the Zhang family is prosperous and will have more and more wealth.

The rich man Zhang was very happy when he heard this, but he said curiously: What does this have to do with swallows? At this time, Mr. Wang said with a smile: Do you think the swallows are all from poor families in our village?

the rich man Zhang nodded his approval. Mr. Wang quickly said: It is precisely because the unique home of wealth in this village belongs to the Zhang family. This is an auspicious sign and a good thing.

Zhang, who was already very happy, was even more overjoyed at this time. When he got home, he said to his children: Swallows don't come to our house because our family is rich, popular and good. And the next day announced the opening of the warehouse to release grain.

And Mr. Wang was appointed to deliver the grain in person to show his respect and recognition. When the grain was released, almost the whole village went. Grandmother was also in the crowd, when Mr. Wang gathered everyone together in no hurry and said: Before releasing the grain, I would like to tell you a big thing, which is related to whether our future life is good or not.

now that you have said this, everyone has listened more carefully. Mr. Wang said: The people who came here today, those who have swallow nests at home, raised their hands to show the old lady, and almost all of them raised their hands.

Then Mr. Wang said: Do you know why Mr. Zhang's family has fish and meat and why the swallows don't go? Everyone is also puzzled by this. Mr. Wang said: This is a good sign. When the swallow comes, the god of wealth will come. The swallow chose our common people's homes, which shows that our good days are coming.

At that time, the teacher's words were very convincing. What the teacher said was somewhat reasonable in itself. Plus, everyone cheered because of their status. They thought that Swallow had chosen their home, which meant their family would be lucky.

As a result, at this time, Mr. Wang said: Let's not be too happy yet. There are conditions to get this good luck. Swallow is an auspicious thing, it has the ability to distinguish, and it is a very diligent bird. So if you want to get its good luck, you must work harder to show our welcome to it.

Since then, the young laborers in the village have become particularly diligent, because everyone believes that their luck is coming. Sure enough, after a few years, every family ate rice, and everyone believed the teacher's words more and more. Therefore, we often hear later that there will be happy events when swallows come.

But do swallows really judge people when they choose their nests? Or do swallows really have this ability to recognize the poor and the rich? When I grew up, I found that the real reason was not so, but Mr. Wang used a clever plan to solve the famine in the village and stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.

the real reason, I will give you a further analysis. If you know swallows, you can see if my analysis makes sense. If you have seen few swallows since childhood, you can also take a look at this amazing species together. Let's tell you first why the swallow doesn't go to the rich man's house.

Decryption of the real reason

In fact, the main reason why swallows didn't go to the rich man's house was that the rich man's house was not the best environment for swallows to survive. There are three main reasons. Please look carefully.

the first point: the rich man's family has no favorite food for swallows.

Swallows eat mosquitoes and flies, but because the rich man's family has money, incense and sachets can be seen everywhere to repel mosquitoes, and mosquitoes themselves come less. Secondly, there are often servants holding fans to drive away flies and mosquitoes.

driving away the delicious food that swallows like, swallows are of course more willing to choose poor families with more food. Speaking of this, some people will be curious, why don't swallows catch bugs in trees? This is related to the swallow's habit. It is not good at picking food, but what it is best at is catching mosquitoes and flies in the air. So swallows are classified as beneficial birds and are our good friends.

the second point: the rich man's home is in a treasure-house, and the swallow likes the farmyard by the river.

This is not to say that the swallow doesn't like the feeling of resplendence, but because the swallow likes to find huts with mountains and water, so that he can go back and forth efficiently when building a nest.

Generally, it takes a swallow about half a month to make a nest. It needs to wet the tip of its mouth with river water and mix some mud, so it often goes to the river to do this. Then with the help of this mud, add some leaves, roots, branches and other things to form your own nest.

third point: this should be the most important point. There are many children in the rich man's house, so it is their pleasure to tear down the swallow nest.

Not to mention going to their house to make a nest, even the swallow nest in other people's house is estimated to have been destroyed by those children. How can swallows trap themselves?

As the old man said, it's best not to tear it down easily when swallows come to make nests, because some swallows will come back after a long time. But if it's not true, I don't know.

finally, I want to say that although there is no specific basis for the saying that the swallow comes and the god of wealth arrives. But everyone who knows the swallow knows that it is indeed a very diligent bird. When swallows make nests, they usually match males and females, so they are not tired from work.

A simple swallow's nest actually contains their diligence and wisdom. We look like a lump of mud, but in fact, the swallow's nest is divided into structures.

the outermost layer, that is, the layer connecting the wall, is the hardest layer, just like our cement now. Those are all carefully carved by swallows and mud.

further inside, swallows usually put some dry straw to keep warm and drain water. Sometimes the rain accidentally enters, and the water will slowly pass through the straw and enter under the mud. The function of straw is to slow down the speed of soaking mud and prevent mud from becoming soft and the nest from collapsing.

On the side closest to the swallows, sometimes swallows will pick up some feathers of the same kind, just like laying a natural blanket. I have to say that swallows will enjoy it.

next time you meet swallows making nests in your house, if you don't have to, stay. After all, it's their hard work, and maybe it will bring good luck to your home, just like Mr. Wang said!
