Chapter 232 Three Questions
Liu Yihua turned around and smiled bitterly, "How do I know what to do? I can't mix it with garlic. I don't think your mother would have to sweep me out, right? After all, I'm a new son-in-law."
Liu Yifei is very nervous now. Although she and Liu Yihua have already had the fact that they are married, it is a major marriage event. The Chinese nation still pays great attention to tradition and family. No matter how unique Liu Yifei is, he must listen to his parents' opinions on marriage events.
After arriving at the living room and sitting down, Liu Yifei's mother said, "Yihua, you have the first time you have been to my aunt's house. My aunt has nothing to entertain you. Do you drink tea or coffee? Or drink?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Thank you aunt, I can do whatever I want."
Wang Zhenghua next to him said, "Let me drink when I say it! Yihua, why don't we two drink?"
Liu Yifei's mother said strangely: "What wine do you drink? Yihua is a civilized person. Who is like you, a big and rude?"
Uh! Wang Zhenghua was very depressed, tilted his head and looked at TV.
Liu's mother gave Wang Zhenghua a blank look and said with a smile: "Yihua, Auntie doesn't have 'care' here, so just have tea! By the way, Yihua, you can know the meaning of your name. It seems that you have a better understanding of some traditional Chinese culture?" Liu's mother asked casually while fiddling with the tea set.
Liu Yifei looked at Liu Yihua nervously, and the meaning was: "Be careful, the exam is about to begin."
Liu Yihua looked at Liu Yifei helplessly, then smiled bitterly: "Auntie, I am a little ignorant and have no research. Maybe I can't even know a little about it."
Liu's mother smiled and said, "Okay, young people know how to be modest, it's great! But you can't be too modest, then you will become pride." It seems that Liu Yifei's mother did not intend to let Liu Yihua go.
Liu Yihua smirked and choked Liu's mother and couldn't speak. She thought I was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. You can take the exam later. You can have extra meals when the roast is cooked.
At this time, the water from the electric kettle on the tea table boiled. Liu's mother took a beautiful tea bucket and said, "Yihua, this tea is said to be produced in the Taoist holy land. It is said to be very good. Please help me open it, and my aunt will make you tea."
Liu Yihua quickly opened the packaging and said, "I'll do it, auntie, don't be busy."
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he picked up the tea leaves and put them in a small teapot, then filled it with boiling water, and then poured out the first tea water to wash the tea cup.
Wang Zhenghua saw it next to him and said with a heartache: "This is the tea given by my friend in my hometown. It would be a pity to pour it out like this..."
Liu's mother glared and said, "What do you know, a rude man? You use tea to wash cups for the first time in the south. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Yihua held the teacup and smiled awkwardly, giving Liu Yifei a wink.
My cup washing action just now made Wang Zhenghua beat Liu's mother and said that Liu Yifei needs to come out to adjust the atmosphere. Otherwise, my new son-in-law might have to be both sides.
Liu Yifei understood it and quickly laughed: "Dad, do you know where Yihua's hometown is?"
Wang Zhenghua was stunned and said embarrassedly: "This... I really didn't pay attention to it. But I know the other aspects of Yihua." Wang Zhenghua was very afraid that his daughter Liu Yifei would say that he didn't care about Liu Yihua. His daughter has been a maverick since she was a child. If she gave her a name, she would be more Wang Yifei, but she insisted on following her mother's surname and got a Liu Yifei. Wang Zhenghua could only helplessly.
Liu Yifei curled her lips and said, "Hmph, if you don't know, you don't know. You have to find so many reasons? Dad, let me tell you - Yihua's hometown is also Qilu Province!"
Wang Zhenghua was told several times by his wife today, and was depressed. After hearing this, he was overjoyed and got up to pat Liu Yihua and laughed: "Is it true? Haha, it turns out that he is still a fellow villager. I am from the Yimeng Mountains in my hometown! Good! I don't worry about Yifei being with you! Hello fellow villager!"
Liu Yihua almost threw away the teacup in his hand, and only grinned and silly. Liu Yifei's father was really generous enough.
Liu's mother glared again and said, "What are you saying? Don't worry? This matter has not been finalized yet. Is it Yihua? Anyway, you are young, so you can spend a while to cultivate your feelings!"
Liu Yihua nodded helplessly and smiled. What else can you say?
Seeing that Liu Yihua was still very calm at this time, Liu's mother praised her secretly, then picked up the outer packaging of the tea and said, "Hey? Yihua, look at what Tao Yi and Tao Er are written on this tea, what does it mean? This tea is produced from your hometown in Qilu Province. Do you know?"
Uh! Liu Yihua almost vomited blood! I have to know everything about our hometown? Then Confucius is from our Qilu. Do I also need to know all his knowledge?"
When Liu's mother saw Liu Yihua sweating profusely, she wondered if she was too embarrassed by this child? How could the new generation of them know about this ancient culture? Alas, forget it, or he would make do with it? It seems that it would be difficult for her to find a perfect partner for her daughter.
When Liu's mother thought of this, she joked: "Haha, I brought a few boxes of such tea to my colleagues. A guy explained it like this: "In the Tao Te Ching, Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things"... This means: God created Tai Chi of the same unity of opposition, and this "one" means Jesus and Satan. Jesus and Satan gave birth to angels... Then, Jesus, Satan and Angel created all things in the universe. Haha, it's so funny. It turns out that when Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, he communicated with Jesus?"
Liu Yihua was making tea while sweating hard. Now he tried to delay as much as possible, talk less, and make a fortune in silence.
Wang Zhenghua, beside him, angrily said, "What's the bullshit explanation? Why is the culture of our Chinese nation connected with foreign gods? Playing the piano randomly! It's better to bring up the Tathagata Buddha, the Jade Emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nanhai Guanyin, and Sun Wukong!"
Liu's mother also smiled and said, "I think I'm playing the piano randomly! But now the young people in our country have forgotten the things of their ancestors. It's not a good sign to worship foreigners and fascinate foreigners. Yihua, if you understand this sentence, just say it casually! Don't worry, aunt won't take the exam for you, you are already qualified to be Yifei's boyfriend."
Liu Yihua was excited and put three cups of tea in a small tray, and smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, Yifei...you drink tea."
Wang Zhenghua took the tea and took a sip and said, "It smells so good! Haha, Yihua is still a master of tea ceremony!"
After Liu's mother drank a cup of tea, Liu Yihua quickly took over the empty cup.
Liu's mother nodded and said, "Okay, don't be so attentive. You will be my child in the future. From now on, the aunt will serve you when you come to your house. Look, Yifei is too lazy to do anything at home!"
Liu Yifei's mother could have long seen that relationship between Liu Yihua and Liu Yifei. So, what can she do with her 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 softly: "Mom, how can you say that in front of Yihua? Who said I will not do anything? I will do everything at Yihua's house."
Liu Yifei's mother smiled and said, "Oh, yes, if you are still so lazy in front of your mother-in-law, you will really not be able to get married. I will take time to visit Yihua's mother these days. By the way, Yihua, you have to know what that means, just say it. Anyway, my aunt thinks you have passed the test."
Liu Yihua smiled humbly and said, "Okay, auntie, I'm just talking nonsense. If you don't say it well, don't laugh! I think 'Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things'... This must be related to Taoism. My original meaning might be:
Dao Shengyi: Our universe is originally chaotic, like a big ball, without distinction between heaven and earth. This may be Dao Shengyi?
One Life Two: Later, the chaotic universe finally separated and split into two poles, two halves. "Two" can be called: Yin and Yang; it can also be called Heaven and Earth. Is this a life Two?
Second, generation three: Later, there were two substances: yin and yang, and heaven and earth, then the third factor was born - human!
All things in three lives: With heaven, earth, and man, then everything in the world can be created!”
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, she saw Liu's mother holding a cup of tea in a daze, and she didn't even know that the tea was flowing out.
Liu Yifei whispered from the side: "Mom, Yihua is talking nonsense. Don't be angry if you don't say it right. Look at your tea spilled."
Liu's mother came to her senses, stared at Liu Yihua hard, then drank the tea in her hand, put the teacup strongly on the tea table, and a "bang" sounded.
Liu Yihua was shocked and thought to himself that his mother-in-law was angry? She threw the cup? She wouldn't wait to throw the cup into the gang of swordsmen outside, right?
Liu's mother put down the cup and was excited for a while. She pulled Liu Yifei and said, "Daughter, mom is not angry but happy. It's really happy that you can find a boyfriend like Yihua. In the future, you will feel relieved to follow Yihua's mother! Haha, my mother is so happy today. My daughter has grown up and has a boyfriend. It won't take long to get married."
After Liu's mother finished speaking, she picked up a tissue on the table and wiped her tears. Who would have been willing to marry her daughter she had worked hard to raise? But it was not easy for Liu Yifei to find such a boyfriend, Liu's mother.
Dizzy! Liu Yihua was a little stupid. Things changed too quickly, and Liu Yifei and Liu Yihua were not sure what happened. Why was Liu Yifei's mother so happy all of a sudden?
After a while, Liu Yifei asked carefully: "Mom, what do you mean? Are you so angry, aren't you? Why are you crying?"
Liu's mother wiped away her tears and smiled, "Silly child, how could I get angry? I am happy, and crying! Yihua's answer was so good just now! I think it's better than your grandpa's explanation!"
After pausing, Liu Yifei's mother continued, "I heard your grandfather explain this, and she was a little confused at that time. Today, my mother suddenly felt enlightened after hearing Yihua's explanation! It turned out that this sentence means this? Yihua's explanation is really easy to understand! Where can I find such a perfect son-in-law and mother? I didn't expect that I found such a person for me today!"
Liu Yihua and Liu Yifei both breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other in a sympathetic manner, and smiled at each other.
Liu Yifei's mother was happy for a while and said, "Yihua, it seems that you are really very knowledgeable about those ancient things. So, let's study it today. Even if we discuss it with each other, Yifei's grandfather likes to study these things. At that time, I didn't study hard, and many things were only a little bit understood. Later, I went into politics again, and those feudal superstitions could not be done. But many of the things left by our ancestors were not necessarily feudal superstitions, right? I always think there are some very reasonable things. There are also some more profound things. For example, Qigong, Bazi, Yijing Bagua, Feng Shui... Many people say these things are feudal superstitions. Yihua, what do you think?"
Since we are now discussing openly, Liu Yihua spoke freely. He said: "Auntie, I think what exists in this world is reasonable. What you just said has been passed down for thousands of years in our Chinese nation. 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 cannot be explained by modern medicine and science, so they have put a superstition mark on us. This is my personal opinion."
Liu Yihua really has research on these things. Maybe Liu Yifei said it to his mother, right? Otherwise, how could Liu Yifei's mother suddenly communicate with Liu Yihua about these issues? You should know that most young people today have never heard of these things, let alone know a little about them.
Liu Yifei said angrily: "Mom, how could Yihua know these things so profound? I know that Yihua seems to be a name... I think it's so mysterious and mysterious. In short, I don't think these things are worth scientific research. There is no need for our young people in the new era to study these, right?"
Liu Yifei's mother smiled bitterly and said, "Yifei, how do you say you? If the new generation of young people in our country abandoned those ancient traditions and cultures as easily as you, then how does our country's 5,000-year civilization be reflected? We have abandoned the civilization of the previous 5,000 years. In terms of modern civilization and technology, we are not as good as Western developed countries. So, what else can we have? What culture and civilization can our country produce?"
Liu Yifei's mother's words were a bit deafening. If Liu Yifei was a little stunned, even Liu Yihua was very shocked. Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei's mother actually had a deep look at her and cared about the thoughts and cultural education of young people at this time.
Thinking of this, Liu Yihua couldn't help but say, "Auntie, right! I just think that the young people in our country are not doing well in this regard. You see, after our country turned traditional Chinese into simplified Chinese characters, we began to eliminate the so-called feudal and superstition on a large scale. Yes, feudal and superstition must be eliminated, but we cannot kill many excellent traditions and cultures of the Chinese nation with one stick, right? You see, Hong Kong and Taiwan do a very good job in this regard. And what about our country? It's almost the Spring Festival now. Kowtow to elders during the New Year. This 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 about these traditions?
In more than ten years, twenty years, I don’t think there is more than ten years to say, cities, even rural people, especially young people, will not kowtow to their elders during the Chinese New Year. When they abandon these traditions openly and uprightly, wouldn’t they know that they have already lost some of the things that the descendants of Yan and Huang should have? If they continue to develop according to this trajectory, the young people in our country will continue to abandon the ancient culture and traditions of the Chinese nation and learn from the so-called advanced civilizations of advanced Western countries, even the Kazakhstan, and the Kazakhstan... One day, our new generation of young people will still pat their chests and say that I am the descendants of Yan and Huang? Do you dare to say it? What are the descendants of Yan and Huang? What kind of knowledge and qualities should the descendants of Yan and Huang have? I am afraid that no one will know, and no one will want to know. On that day, we will deeply understand a sentence in the national anthem: The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment!"
After Liu Yihua said that, he felt a little dry and then grabbed the teacup and took a big sip of tea. Anyway, this is his own opinion, and he said it himself, no matter whether it is right or wrong. And the things he said will happen. For a long time in the future, our country's youth will be proud of forgetting the ancient traditions of the Chinese nation, Hakka and South Korea, as a fashion! Don't you know that South Korea and Japan regard the traditional culture of our Chinese nation as treasures! Liu Yihua thinks this is simply a great irony!
"Okay! Well said! Yihua, the worries I just mentioned are all the concerns that some old scholars are worried about. I didn't expect that you are so young and have such a long-term sense of crisis. It's really rare. It seems that I want to give some advice to the relevant departments and vigorously grasp the political and ideological education of young people in our country. Increase the education of traditional Chinese culture. Only by preventing problems before they happen can you avoid the tragedy you just mentioned! If one day our descendants are not worthy of calling them descendants of Yan and Huang... that is definitely the most dangerous 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 was incredible! Liu Yihua's emphasis on and affection for the ancient culture and traditions of the Chinese nation also shocked Liu Yifei's mother very much! You should know that Liu Yihua is a standard young man in the new era. Moreover, Liu Yihua has lived in the countryside since childhood. How could he know so many ancient cultures when he lived in the countryside? Liu Yifei's mother thinks Liu Yihua is simply a very magical young man.
Liu Yifei was a little stunned and listened to the big theories of her mother and Liu Yihua, and then she said carefully: "You... criticize me together? But I didn't say that I completely abandon the traditional culture of the Chinese nation? I didn't blindly pursue the so-called advanced civilization of developed Western countries. In this way, I should be a qualified new generation, right?"
