Laba Festival Story 1

Once upon a time, there was a family with three people: father, mother and son. Dad is a diligent person. He is over 60 years old and still crows every day and goes to the fields at dawn. He often said: "Everyone has a cash cow, which is his own two hands." My mother is very frugal. She scrimped and saved three meals a day. She always said, "The cornucopia is not good, and frugality is priceless." Their grain depot is sharp, the yard is densely covered with melons and sheds, and there are fruits and vegetables all year round.

The old couple are so diligent, but their son is lazy. He sleeps after eating all day. Neighbors call him a "sleepy". The old couple are getting older and older. Dad often says to his son, "If you want to eat, you have to sweat. Don't just sleep, but also learn to grow crops. " Mom also said: "parents can only raise you young, not old, you have to learn to live!" " "

"sleepy" hum twice, one ear listens, the other ear risks, and nothing goes in. Soon, the sleepy man became a family. Daughter-in-law is as lazy as he is: she sleeps before the sun sets and can't get up at sunrise. She kicked down the oil bottle and didn't help. Everyone called her "a pot without a bottom."

A few years later, the old couple became seriously ill. They called the young couple to bed and told them, "If you want to be rich, chickens will crow out of bed, men Qin Ying will work hard and women will knit more ..." Soon, the old couple died.

"Sleepy" looked at the old couple's accumulated food and said to his daughter-in-law, "If you don't worry about eating and drinking, why do you have to farm in the sun?" Looking at the box full of clothes and quilts left by the old couple, the "bottomless pot" said to her husband, "There is cotton in winter and light clothes in summer. Why does the textile go west?" Neither of them took the old man's words to heart, but only ate them every day.

Year after year, the land left by the old couple turned into a grassland garden, and all the rice, oil and salt in the house were used up. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the north roared and the mountains were closed by heavy snow. The young couple shivered in the shabby house without food and clothes. At this time, they regret it. Finally, they searched the bottom, seam, wall and mouse hole of the tank, and finally swept out some yellow rice, corn, beans and peanuts, and mixed them together to make porridge. Who knows that I just wanted to drink when I picked up the bowl, and a strong wind blew down the house, killing both of them.

Later, every year in Laba, adults would cook such a pot of porridge for children to drink, so that they could remember the lessons of lazy people and form a good habit of thrift from an early age.
