The Village Chief took out three small clothes and handed them to Ni Yang, "Yangyang, these were prepared by all of us for the children, they're 'Hundred Family Clothes' personally sewn by Aunt Wang from the village."
'Hundred Family Clothes' is an ancient child-rearing tradition.
It's made by gathering small pieces of fabric from neighbors and friends, sewn into one garment for the child to wear. This clothes embody blessings from a hundred families, warding off illnesses and calamities, helping the child grow up healthy.
Although 'Hundred Family Clothes' are not invaluable, the sentiment of the villagers is priceless.
Its profound meaning is already very good.
If the maker of the 'Hundred Family Clothes' is an elderly person with high seniority, the significance is even better.
Aunt Wang is the oldest elder in the village.
This year, she is already 99 years old.
By rank, Ni Yang should call Aunt Wang, Grandma Wang.
