The long holiday of the Bon Festival is coming, and the streets are obviously deserted, so many people should have gone back to their hometowns.
Fuyumi lined up her younger siblings early in the morning, brought tools and flowers, and led them to the cemetery, which was between the commercial and residential areas, like a small park.
When he came back, he opened the shrine at home, set up an altar underneath, lit lamps, and placed flowers, water, and offerings, so that the deceased could have a place to stay and rest when they returned home.
The offerings are basically vegetarian, all made of spring vegetables, and the Fukuzawa family is also vegetarian these days, and there are no requirements for Kitahara Shuji and Yoko, of course, and they follow the local customs, and Kitahara Shuji doesn't plan to eat meat.
There are also cucumbers with four legs stuck in wooden chips on the altar, which are "ghost horses" for the deceased to ride to their homes quickly.
When the deceased returns to Huangquan, they should be replaced with four-legged eggplants, which are "ghost cows", for the deceased to bring more sacrifices back.
Then, in the evening, Fuyumi directed Yukiri to hang a Mon Lan Bon lantern at the entrance.
Generally, it should be burned to welcome the soul, but this commercial block does not allow it, so lanterns are used instead.
At this point, the deceased is considered to have come back to reunite with his living relatives, and he will go back after living together for three or four days, and Kitahara Shuji led Yoko to the side to watch, but he didn't feel the difference.
Presumably, this mourning ritual is essentially to comfort the living, or that forgetting is the real death, and as long as there are still people remembering, it is not a real death.
The Fukuzawa family didn't look sad, and took turns talking to their mother at the altar for a while, and Kitahara Shuji also took Yoko to say hello, which was considered to be grateful for the interruption here during this time.
After eating the somen noodles for dinner, Fuyumi took Yoko with her, and prepared to change into a yukata and go out to see the festival.
Everyone was very relieved about Kitahara Shuji's character, but no one told him anything, but he himself took the initiative to sit in the lobby to avoid suspicion and was in a daze with Akitaro.
It took a long time for Yoko to come down, and said with a smile: "Oni-san, wait a little longer, Sister Fuyumi is chasing the snow, Sister Haruna is persuading, and it may take a little time for Natsuri-chan and Natsusa-chan to watch the excitement." ” Kitahara Shuji was stunned for a moment before he smiled: "It's okay."
He didn't ask anything, and it was basically normal for Xueli to be beaten every day or on the way to find a beating.
However, Yoko looks pretty in a yukata Yoko wore a yukata with white flowers on a blue background, blue is dark blue, white is a large white flower with pink in the middle, and the waist is a beige front plate about 30 centimeters wide cloth belt, mainly to cover the rope tied around the waist, looking neat and good-looking, holding a gauze fan and a small blue cloth bag, wearing clogs and bare feet, and a long soft hair is tied in a bun, only two strands hang down from the ear, and the left ear also wears a small beige silk flower.
Ya Jing is delicate and delicate, which makes people shine.
Kitahara Shuji is not a person who knows nothing about yukata now, he has never learned it.
Yukata said that it should be counted as a Wu costume, after all, it is an imitation of the Wu costume style.
Or it's okay to say that it's not counted, after all, it's not a formal attire, or it should be said that it's a simple version of Wu costume.
This thing used to be worn after taking a bath, so it was called a yukata, and now Kitahara Shuji can distinguish between the two after research.
Because the Wufu is a formal wear, there will be a white "undergarment" inside, so at a glance it looks like the Wufu has a double collar, but there is no yukata inside, just a single layer.
At the same time, the Wufu will wear white socks, that is, "foot bags", and the yukata will be barefoot.
Then the most important thing is the material, Wu clothes mostly use silk, silk and yarn, yukata is only pure cotton cotton cloth price is also different, yukata is generally 5,000 to 10,000 yen, and Wu clothing is cheap around 30,000 yen, 100,000 yen is also common, and there are also million yen.
Of course, just in general, there must be cheap Wu clothes cheaper than high-end yukatas.
It's hard to say about clothes, and it's normal for the price difference between famous custom products and big road goods to be hundreds of times and thousands of times.
There may be exceptions to these three when taken out alone, but when the three are combined, you can distinguish them at a glance.
Yoko was a little embarrassed to look at Kitahara Shuji, and took a fan to half-cover her little face, but she still turned around in place, showed him the big bow behind her, and asked with some trepidation, "Is it good-looking, Onisan" It's also the first time she's wearing a yukata, and her mother didn't buy it for her before, but now this one was matched to her by Fuyumi.
Kitahara Shuji said sincerely: "It's beautiful" To tell the truth, if any kind of traditional clothing can survive the test of time, it must be unique.
Yoko was complimented and shook the small handbag in his hand, even more embarrassed, but his heart was happy.
And Kitahara Shuji thinks that Dongmei is really right.,Girls are Japanese girls who like to wear yukata are usually based on school uniforms.,You can run out to play in a yukata It's probably the summer festival.
、Menglan Bon Festival and the like.,And this kind of yukata with big flowers can only be worn when you're a girl.,I'm embarrassed to dress so brightly when I'm older.,Otherwise, it's easy to have bad associations when you run on the street.。
At the age of twenty or thirty, you still wear a girl's yukata, you are not engaged in some special profession, are you?
The little radish head makes sense, if you don't wear it during this time period, you will definitely regret it when you get older.
Yoko was shy, embarrassed to ask in detail what was good-looking, whether it was a good-looking person or a good-looking clothes, but she walked two steps in a small clog, touched the big flower on the yukata with her hand and asked with some curiosity: "Onisan, what kind of flower is this?"
Kitahara Shuji stared at it for a while, then clicked on the notes and studied it for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's peony and peony, and the print on the yukata represents a prayer for happiness in the future." ” The little radish head is quite careful, and the selection is good, and Kitahara Shuji gave Fuyumi a ninety-nine points in his heart.
Yoko felt that she had been really happy recently, but she felt a little envious on her little face: "This is Sister Dongmei's mother who made it herself, Sister Dongmei's mother is so amazing." ” "Is it" Kitahara Shuji was also a little surprised, looking at this stitch and thinking that it was bought, it was originally homemade.
However, he looked at the envious expression on Yoko's face, and couldn't tell whether she liked this yukata or Fuyumi's mother, and smiled: "Then Yoko also has to work hard, and she will be a person like Fukuzawa's mother in the future."
Yoko nodded her little head vigorously: "Come on" Anyway, when she grows up in the future, she will definitely not be a person like her mother.
They chatted here for a while, and the five sisters of the Fukuzawa family came down from upstairs, and Yukiri was full of grievances, and came to Kitahara Shuji and whispered that she had found out, as long as she complained by Kitahara Shuji's side, generally Fuyumi didn't dare to rush over and beat her.
Kitahara Shuji glanced at her, she was wearing a yukata with white flowers on a black background, not a mourning dress, and the tie around her waist was a dark red flower is calamus, a kind of dragon boat festival commonly used to ward off evil flowers, and at the same time, the pronunciation of calamus in Japanese is similar to victory or defeat, and it also represents martial arts and the meaning of a decisive victory.
The black and white monochrome is quite suitable for a simple character like Xueli, it looks like it makes her more pure, and this flower language is also quite good.
Kitahara Shuji asked with a low chuckle, "What's wrong, I don't like this dress" Xueli touched her chest and said aggrievedly: "My sister thinks I'm too sexy, so I wrapped my chest with a cloth belt, it's uncomfortable and hot, and they don't wrap it, only one of me." ” Kitahara Shuji took a closer look, only to find that the pair of big rabbits in the snow did not move, but he couldn't control this kind of thing and didn't dare to care, and he didn't even dare to look at it more, so he quickly moved to the side, not mixing with this pool of muddy water.
Fuyumi rummaged through a large pocket over there, and she was wearing a white yukata decorated with a dragonfly pattern, which was considered an insect that was trying to move towards her goal, nicknamed "Victory Bug", which was one of the auspicious signs.
Haruna wears a yellow yukata, but the flowers are wisteria flowers, which symbolize the prosperity of the family.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Xia Zhi Xia Sha is wearing the same, fancy to death, white on a red background, light red, light yellow flowers are connected, it is a rose, but this thing doesn't seem to have any metaphor, these two guys should just be stinky and beautiful.
But I have to admit that these two little guys are very bright when they put them on, and standing there has an overwhelming advantage over everyone around them, and they are very attractive to the two of them, and they are all bright colors, and everyone will look at them first.
These yukata pieces are all exquisite, and Kitahara Shuji couldn't help but turn his head sideways and whisper to Yukiri, "Yukiri, are these yukata made by your mother?"
Xueli touched her body with some love, and said seriously: "Yes, I have made a lot of it for us, and I can wear it until she is an adult, and she has been doing my mother very well after she is sick, she is the strongest among the people I know, Xiuji, you are not as good as her, my mother can make all kinds of clothes, cooking skills, and can play the piano and arrange flowers, and I have written novels, studied in college, and went to China to study what is behind that university Anyway, I learned a lot of practice, and the toilet at home was broken in the past, and my mother repaired it." ” Kitahara Shuji and Yukiri are already quite familiar, listening to her words are not very wasteful, I can't help but be secretly surprised how Fukuzawa Naokaka deceived such a good wife is not behind the back, looking at the photo Yukisa's mother is a big beauty, otherwise she wouldn't have given birth to such a bunch of beautiful daughters, and she is versatile and capable, why did she pick that guy Fukuzawa Naotaka Fukuzawa's Haruna looks most like Fukuzawa Naotaka, but she looks mediocre, which shows that Fukuzawa Naotaka is very average when he is young.
Graduated from college, has a history of fighting, and the family situation is average, it should have been more than enough than the top than the bottom, and the local tyrant is not counted, and he is injured and has no serious job.
I guess that's a flower stuck in something He was talking to Xueli, and Dongmei had already asked everyone to line up to send "Yubonyu", which is a traditional custom, and on this day the elders want to give pocket money to the juniors, but the Fukuzawa family is currently the largest in Dongmei, so she will change it to her.
A small bag for one person, Fuyumi starts from scratch, everyone has a share, even Yoko.
Yukiri, who was in front of Kitahara Shuji, took the small bag and opened it to look at it, and immediately became happy, and Kitahara Shuji also stretched out his hand, he felt that this was a local custom, and he would have it too.
Dongmei looked at him strangely: "What are you reaching out for, you are older than me, how can I send it to you" Kitahara Shuji was speechless, your uncle, why don't you send me to line up Actually, Dongmei didn't tell him to line up, but he was used to queuing on weekdays, and Xueli stood over, and he followed in a daze.
After dividing the pocket money, Fuyumi shouted and took the lead and walked out, driving directly to the small square in the business district, where there was the Mon Lan Bon Odora held in the town.
Originally a gesture of joy when a person in hell is delivered, this dance is not intense but has many hand movements, but has evolved into a traditional dance.
Generally speaking, you have to dance all night, but only in some rural areas, because of the fast pace of life in big cities, most of them mean it.
There were people carrying sedan chairs in the street in the procession, and there was laughter and laughter, and everyone toured all the way to the small square, and there were two huge fires burning in the small square, and the residents were not allowed to burn the soul-attracting fire in their own homes, but changed it to a collective fire, which was to illuminate the deceased, so that they would not get lost in the cucumber.
The field has already begun, and in the middle of the fire is a high platform, on which several women in yukata are singing in unison, and there are people beating taiko drums and playing shamisen accompaniment on the side, and many people in yukata are dancing around the high platform and the fire to the beat, and Yukiri and Natsuori Natsusa join in with a cheer.
Kitahara Shuji looked at it and smiled at Yoko: "Yoko, you go play too" Yoko hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I won't, Onisan I've only seen it before, but I've never skipped it." ” Fuyumi said next to her, "That's why I wore a yukata for this, Yoko, I'll teach you" After saying that, she dragged Yoko into the venue, and Haruna dragged Akitaro behind them.
In a blink of an eye, Kitahara Shuji was left alone.,It's better to wear traditional clothes to participate in this kind of activity.,Otherwise, it's a feeling of being out of place to squeeze in in casual clothes.,Besides, he's not interested in participating.,It's more that the men who come to sightseeing and play with Yoko are all wearing headscarves.,There's a seal box hanging on the waist.,There are a few people on the stage who only wear a crotch cloth.,Let him wear it like this.。
There is something to do without dancing, and there is a circle of open-air stalls around the square, providing all kinds of snacks and games, and Kitahara Shuji circles around, and I think it's quite interesting.
But after a while, Yukiri found him, and Kitahara Shuji smiled and asked, "Why don't you go playing" Xueli scratched her back depressedly, "I can't breathe, I really want to untie it, but my sister won't let me."
After a moment of depression, she quickly became happy, and pulled Kitahara Shuji and shouted, "Go, Xiuji, I'll take you to catch goldfish." ” She dragged Kitahara Shuji through the crowd, and there were indeed many people, and it felt like people in this business district were crowded here, but she stopped when she passed by a small stall and swallowed hard.
Kitahara Shuji took a look, it was a seller of apple candy, that is, he took a small stick and inserted the small apple, and then poured syrup on the outer layer and stuck some dried fruits or something, which was somewhat similar to a Chinese sugar gourd.
Yukiri just stood there and watched, Kitahara Shuji was a little strange, "You can buy it if you want to eat" This is not a valuable thing, it is just an ordinary small snack, and it doesn't cost a few dollars at all.
Yukiri bit her lower lip with her snow-white teeth, desperately resisting the temptation, "I want to eat, but I don't have any money." ” Kitahara Shuji looked at her in surprise, you are a liar I saw with my own eyes half an hour ago that you just sent pocket money "Where's the pocket money you just sent?"
"I have a lot of money, I can't spend it indiscriminately, let's make the best use of it, Xiuci, I can't watch it anymore, I feel sad after watching it for a long time."
Yukiri looked at it for a while and then pulled Kitahara Shuji and left, but he turned around three times in one step, and he seemed to be very hungry, and his face was full of confusion.
Kitahara Shuji couldn't stand it, so he went back and bought one for her, and Yukiri didn't be polite to him, so he took it happily and licked it, with a happy expression on his face, "Xiuji, you are so good to me, Enbi Haishen, I really didn't misunderstand you" You're so satisfied, an apple with a little sugar is gone.
Kitahara Shuji watched it very lovingly and kept licking, and he was reluctant to bite, so he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Yukiri, do you have a wallet?"
He was embarrassed to ask where Xueli's money went, but he had known Xueli for more than four months, and he had never seen her spend a single yen, and she obviously had pocket money, so it was really curious where the money had gone.
Xueli opened her mouth wide and took the apple candy in its entirety, took out the small handbag with both hands, and could still speak vaguely, "I have wow, here, what are you going to do":
