Southern Song During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, there was a Hu Laoqi who specialized in selling tofu, known as "Tofu Qi". Hu Laoqi's wife is called Epiphyllum. She is pregnant. She looks at her 10-month-old baby, and the Epiphyllum girl gave birth to a baby boy. Hu Laoqi named him Hu Xier.
And this Hu Xier has been crying every day since the day she was born, and she must hold it in her hands and rush around all day.
The child's restlessness has made the Hu couple suffer. The couple was uneasy by this baby and they didn't even have the energy to sell tofu.
The child was so noisy that he thought to himself: "Is it because the child is sick?" So she carried Hu Xier to Liuyetang Town and found Doctor Sun. Doctor Sun carefully looked at the child's whole body and asked about the baby's breastfeeding condition, but did not find any difference between the child and other babies. Looking at this baby who was just over the month old, even though Doctor Sun was knowledgeable, he was helpless. He just told the Epiphylla couple to show more patience and pay attention to the movements of the children.
The famous doctor had no choice but to face Hu Xier's crying. Hu Qier and the Epiphyllum had no choice but to take turns to take care of Hu Xier.
Seeing that Hu Xier had been three months old after 100 days, Hu Qier thought to herself that his crying should have stopped. Because he heard from the older generation that some newborn babies love to cry, but after a hundred days, they will get better. However, Hu Xier's crying showed no sign of stopping, but her voice became louder and louder.
Hu Xier cried endlessly, and Hu Qier was completely happy as a father. He was extremely irritable and depressed by his son. Sometimes when he met Hu Xier crying and making trouble, and he couldn't coax him well for a while, he would lose his temper at Hu Xier. He is too tired.
Faced with Hu Xier's situation, the kind neighbors kept offering suggestions for Hu Qier. Some were coaxing the child for Hu Qier, and some were asking whether the child had fallen into something evil, and advised Hu Qier to pray to God and Buddha...
In order to make the child stop crying as soon as possible, Hu Qier and the Epiphyllum girl tried all kinds of ways and tried various suggestions from their neighbors, but it was useless in the end, and Hu Xier was still crying endlessly.
And this Hu Xier is crying and harsh, but she looks good, white and fat, especially her eyes are sunny and shiny, which is adorable. Sometimes Hu Qier and the Epiphyllum girl were furious and angry at him by his crying. He would lick his lips at the Hu couple. The Hu couple was angry, but when they saw Hu Xier's cute appearance, the anger disappeared in an instant. The Hu couple loves and hates this son.
When Hu Xier was eight months old, his crying still remained unchanged, but he looked more and more cute, but the Hu couple suffered a lot.
One day, Hu Laoqi carried a load of tofu to Liuyetang Town to sell it as usual. While selling tofu, he met an elderly woman. During the conversation with the woman, Hu Laoqi learned that the old lady's daughter-in-law also gave birth to a child not long ago. Hu Laoqi asked the old lady for her experience in educating her children, and told her about the fact that her eight-month-old child had been crying since her birth.
After hearing this, the old lady asked Hu Laoqi what methods had he tried? Hu Laoqi informed him one by one.
The old lady said, "You might as well recognize a godmother for the child."
Hu Laoqi asked, "Why?"
The old lady said, "Some children don't match their biological parents' horoscopes, so they are born to cry. If you recognize him as a horoscope, he will not cry."
Hu Laoqi also heard from the older generation about this rumor, but he also heard from the older generation that generally families with children will not accept the recognition of their "godson", because recognizing their "godson" will hinder his own children.
Hu Laoqi said: "Who would be willing to accept the godson?"
The old lady said: "Often people will not want to do so. You can send your son's name to the temple, or those without children."
Hu Laoqi said: "Where can I find such a family?"
The old lady said: "It's hard to find and it costs money, but there is a simple way, that is, you can choose a life to let your son recognize the evergreen ancient tree as his godmother, or you can take a vegetarian to the bridge on the seventh day of the seventh month every year to let your son recognize the Seven Fairies as his godmother."
Hu Laoqi said: "This is very mysterious, is it useful?"
The old lady said, "It's so legendary for the older generation. Is it useful? It's better to try it than not."
After listening to the old lady's words, Hu Laoqi felt it was reasonable. After returning home, Hu Laoqi told Cereal to Cereal to recognize Hu Xier as a godmother, and repeated the old lady's words to Cereal.
Two young people had no experience in parenting. After listening to the old lady's words, they saw that it didn't cost much and did not hinder the children. So early in the morning of the seventh day of the seventh month, Epiphyllum hugged Hu Xier, and Hu Laoqi brought zhaiba and candy to the wooden bridge by the stream by the village, asking Hu Xier to recognize the seven fairies as his godmother.
It’s strange that since Hu Xier accepted her godmother, she has neither cried nor made a fuss, and has been quiet every day. Legends of the older generation, do you think it is magical or not? Of course, this is just a folk legend and cannot be true.
