The happiness of the Chung Yeung Festival | Tell the story of you and the old people in the family

In the home of Lao Mu, the carpenter of Dongjiaqiao Village, Jishi Port Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, there is a baby artifact -a cradle of separation and tenon -and -mortise structure with bamboo elliptical baskets on it. This big basket is enough to lie down a child about three years old, with a very heavy wooden bottom below, and then connect to two feet on the board. When you step on your feet, the cradle can shake smoothly.

Today, the cradle is 14 years old, accompanied by three children growing up, and is still in service.

In fact, this is already the second cradle produced by Dai Laomu. Forty years ago, Dai Laomu had made a cradle for his children.

"At that time, my younger brother and I were sleeping on the cradle. I also knew that there was a jujube tree in the yard in the home at that time. The adult went out to plant the field. At the age of 38, she recalled, "My dad doesn't talk much, but it is particularly good for us. When we were young, my dad always made a lot of wooden toys for us. My brother also had a wooden tricycle. The children in the village were all I especially envy him. "

At the beginning of 2008, Dai Xueqing got married, and Dai Laomu found the cradle from the corner of the yard. Because of improper storage, the cradle of "1.0" is decaying and cannot be used. So he picked up the tool again, and the cradle of "2.0" was born.

On the base, Dai Laomu, who is good at calligraphy, also wrote eight characters on both sides of the cradle and eight characters "Ronghua and Wealth" and "Long Life and Hundreds of Level". This is his good blessing to the next generation of children.

Dai Laomu's granddaughter

Dai Xueqing told reporters that although her father was not good at speaking, she often did something interesting. Doing the cradle was the unique humor of her father. "At that time, when I was married, the cradle was delivered to the house. This was his birth."

Perhaps the blessing of the cradle. At the end of 2008, Dai Laomu's grandson was born, and the cradle accompanied him to 3 years old. In the past two years, Dai Lao Mu's family added two new children, and the cradle was put into use again. Although it has been left out for ten years, it is still easy to use. It is not only stable when shaking. Can fall asleep.

Dai Laomu's granddaughter

In recent years, Dai Laomu's life has also changed a lot. Dai Laomu moved into the commercial house from the built house in the village. The floor changed from stone floor to wooden floor. This cradle also changed. The original wooden bottom was covered with rubber sleeves that protected the floor.

"My dad often has backaches in the past few years, but he still often works in some carpenter. The furniture and floor of my brother's house are hand -made." Dai Xueqing said, "The Chung Yeung Festival is coming soon, and we also want to pass Ningbo through Ningbo. On the platform on the evening, thank you Dad, sincerely hope he can be healthy and happy! "

A cradle, a father, a grandfather, a grandfather, the expression of his father's love, but it is as heavy as a mountain;

Open the wardrobe, this sweater that grandma woven you, although it is not so bright, is still warm;

At the bottom of the toy cabinet, the wooden pistol made by Grandpa for you seems naive, but it makes you the most beautiful baby on the street;

..............

These age handicrafts, instead of memories, are more happy.

On the occasion of the Ninety -nine Chongyang Festival, we solicited these happy handicrafts with a happy taste to tell the story of you and the old people in your family. If your home also has such objects, there are stories that want to share.
