When I was only in my teens, our family had nieces and nieces. They all called me uncle, and I agreed happily. Do you know why this is? It’s really funny. When we are in our hometown, we call our aunts by ranking them. The eldest is called the eldest, the second is called the second, and the youngest is called the youngest! [Cover your face] In my hometown, I really don’t think anything is wrong. Everyone calls me that, and I don’t think there is anything strange! But when I went to the normal school, one day, I received a letter from my nephew in my hometown. He wrote on the envelope: "XXX (Uncle accepted)". The boy in our class saw it and looked at it with surprise, and even started to make a fuss, "You are a little girl, why do you call you an uncle?" Do you want to be a man? At this time, my face turned red, and then I felt that the title of a girl and the old man really didn’t match. This time I was so embarrassed! In the place where I was in my hometown, except for calling my mother "Mum", the other names are all messy. The mistake is not a little bit wrong, and it is even a bit outrageous! For example, we call it grandparents, and we call it dad and grandma in one color, and grandma is called Gaga Dad and grandma. Not only does it not understand outside, but it even causes ambiguity. For example, if we call grandma dad, those who don’t know will think it’s called dad! My son was born in another place. In order not to make him confused in his symmetry, after his son returned to his hometown, I asked him to call his husband and his father as his grandfather, haha! But you don’t know that when you called him grandpa the first time, grandpa was extremely reluctant. For the sake of this precious grandson, he barely hugged in his nostrils! Grandpa realized that he had reduced his seniority, and was afraid that the people in the village would laugh at him, so that only the people of the father's seniority in our hometown were called grandpa! My dear grandfather had no choice but to recognize him, but when those grandfathers from the same clan saw that my son wanted to call them grandfather, they simply waved their hands and didn't call me! hehe! I really feel happy when I think about it! I took my son back to my parents' home. I asked my son to call me my parents and grandma. The shouting and agreeing were very natural. My parents were very open and didn't think there was anything wrong with it! From my son on, my sisters' children will naturally call me parents, grandparents! Let me talk about my father again. No one in our age group called him Dad, but the one who called him more was uncle, which is a metaphor for my five sisters who called him uncle for a lifetime! Some people call my father Dada, and that's how my husband calls his father. Some call him Father directly. One word is simple and clear. Some call him Grandpa, some call him Uncle, and my uncle's children call my uncle uncle... I don't know why the various names of elders are called by the old people. Maybe it was the reason for that era! However, with the reform and opening up, population mobility, family planning and other reasons, the names of elders by their families have gradually become clear, and more and more call them grandparents and grandparents. All parents call them mom and dad, and the aunt is the aunt, and they will never call their little girls the old man like before! However, I am still called by many people. I have been called by a girl from a young age to an old woman for decades. I am used to it. It is a local accent, local love, family and blood relationship, which I enjoy!
The cement road in front of my mother-in-law’s house is full of muddy roads in my memory!
Rapeseed flowers bloom!
When I got home, there were no parents at home, only the villagers came to talk to each other.
The person who is called the old man!
sycamore tree in front of my house! Now it only exists in memory
two uncles! The one on the left has been forever!
The path in front of my old house!
Father and uncle, behind him is the person who calls me uncle!
