Silly son-in-law birthday
Son-in-law, is the daughter's husband. Baishou, also called Zhu Shou, means to congratulate the birthday of the elderly. This story is about a silly son-in-law, who made a joke when he paid his father-in-law's birthday.
There was once a foolish son-in-law who wanted to pay his father-in-law's birthday. His father was afraid that he would not speak auspiciously, so as he was about to go out, he gave him repeated orders: "Today is the sixtieth birthday of your father-in-law; whatever you say before your father-in-law is to be marked with the word shou for auspiciously." Your father-in-law will be pleased to hear that. The foolish son-in-law nodded and said, "I know." Along the way, he was afraid to forget his father's teachings, so his mouth kept reading: "Today when talking to my father-in-law, I want to bring a 'shou' Yu, and when talking to my father-in-law, I want to bring a 'shou' word... ".
When he arrived at his father-in-law's house, the foolish son-in-law presented the gift with both hands respectfully and said to his father-in-law: "Today, the father in law is celebrating his birthday, and the young son-in-law sent him a little birthday gift." When the father-in-law heard this, he was very surprised and thought, "How come the son-in-law has suddenly become wise?" So he happily invited his son-in-law to sit down to drink and eat. At the dinner table, the silly son-in-law did not forget his father's teachings, saw the wine called "longevity wine", saw the noodles called "longevity noodles", saw the peach called "longevity peach", saw the cake called "longevity cake". His father-in-law listened to what he said with auspicious meaning, but also happy.
The dishes on the table were very rich and everyone enjoyed themselves very much. When the foolish son-in-law saw a fly landing on his father-in-law's head, he quickly slapped it and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't slap Shou head or hurt Shou brain." When the father-in-law heard him say this, he was shocked, and he could not hold the bowl in his hand, and poured out the noodles and soup on himself. The silly son-in-law quickly took out a handkerchief, and while wiping his father-in-law, he said: "A good new 'shroud', was stained by noodle soup, what a pity!" When my father-in-law heard him rambling again, he almost fainted with anger.
Because his foolish son-in-law said he was "Shou Shou", "Shou Shou brain", and said his new clothes were "Shou shou", he was so angry that he could not eat any more, sat down and wanted to drink tea to calm down. The silly son-in-law pointed to a mahogany box on the coffee table containing gifts and said: "This" "longevity" ", "" longevity" "can be really beautiful!" Father-in-law heard, on the spot, "Gu dong" a sound, fainted on the ground, most of the day unconscious.
