What's the saying about the old man's birthday?

In this place of Hebei, it is popular to celebrate the whole life of the elders, just like the birthday of 79 years old and 8 years old. As long as people over the age of 5 can live a long life, especially the whole life is very important. There are many details and arguments about celebrating the old man's birthday.

My grandmother celebrated her eightieth birthday the year before last, not only by inviting relatives, friends, neighbors and villagers to hold a big banquet, but also by inviting a master of ceremonies to preside over it if it is held in a hotel outside, and by inviting people to watch a grand opera and play suona if it is held at home. Grandma is doing it at home in the countryside. There is a couplet on the door to celebrate her birthday. The entrance is the layout of Shoutang. The picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and the word of longevity written in big gold letters on red paper on the front face, grandma is sitting in the middle of the sofa wearing a brand-new dark red padded jacket, and there are bright red big birthday peaches and cakes and fruits on the sofa in front.

In the morning, relatives and friends came one after another. First, the younger generation sent their own gifts, and then bowed or kowtowed to grandma. At this time, grandma gave the food on the table to the younger generation, and the younger generation couldn't refuse. A few bites meant chewing on the old people and avoiding the disaster. A married daughter should buy a few catties of meat and peaches for her elders, which is a reward for her parents' parenting. When the whole family eats, longevity noodles must be available, and they must be unbroken, which means longevity. The younger generation should clip one of the noodles in their bowls to the elderly, which means adding longevity to the elderly. There must be a carp in the dish, which means carp yue longmen. Old people can live a long life.

In fact, it means that the whole family is happy to celebrate the birthday of the elderly. The elderly are healthy and live a long life. If they have money, they will do big things, and if they have no money, they will do small things. Seeing their children and grandchildren around them, the elderly will be very happy.
