Sister Feng hopes that Grandma Liu will give her daughter who has not been named for a long time a good name. Firstly, it can extend Grandma Liu’s life. Secondly, because Old Liu is a poor person, people in the old society believe that naming poor people is beneficial to their children. healthy growth.
As the saying goes: "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds." Although Sister Feng is fierce and vicious, she still loves her only daughter very much. The more capable parents are, the more reluctant they are to let their children suffer and be wronged. On the contrary, children raised by incompetent parents mature more quickly and are more independent and capable. Therefore, the characteristics of being capable and incompetent are always inherited across generations. Sister Feng must have been very doting and pampering when raising Sister Qiao. This deeply troubled and mentally exhausted strong woman may only have true tenderness from the heart when facing her daughter. Her daughter was the softest and warmest place in her heart that was as cold and tough as stone.
However, Sister Qiao is not a child that makes people worry. Most of the time Qiaojie appears in the book, she is in a sick state, either suffering from chicken pox or a cold, and her body is very delicate. Sister Feng was very worried about her. After all, this was her only child. If she didn't live long, she would really have no hope at all. Not only is she worried about her daughter's health, she is also worried about her future. Qiaojie was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Chinese people think "seven" is not a good number. The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the "Qiqiao Festival", which is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. Folks believe that this day is very cloudy because all the magpies have gone to the sky to build bridges, so there is no joy in the world. Most children born on this day will grow up to have more worries and less happiness. So Sister Feng is also worried about her daughter.
When Grandma Liu finished visiting the Grand View Garden, Sister Feng held her sick daughter in her arms and began to discuss her daughter's fate with her. Sister Feng hoped that Grandma Liu would give a good name to her daughter who had not been named for a long time. Firstly, she could extend Grandma Liu's life, and secondly, because Old Liu was a poor person, people in the old society believed that naming poor people would be beneficial to the healthy growth of their children. Although Grandma Liu was just a peasant woman, she was born with some knowledge. Sometimes he behaves like a "three-eight", and sometimes he has a "half-immortal" demeanor. He is an expert who has no talent and is as wise as a fool. After she found out the child's birthday, she decided to name her Sister Qiao, saying that this was a way to fight fire with fire and fire with fire. Grandma Liu also assured Sister Feng that this name would turn misfortune into good luck and turn disaster into good fortune when the child grows up, all of which come from the word "qiao".
