翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: I’m going to eat a little more at lunch today, otherwise, I might not be full in the evening.
Huahua: Why? Why wouldn’t you be full?
Qingqing: Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, which is “Renri.” Traditionally, married daughters are supposed to go back home to deliver longevity noodles to their parents, and it’s best if the noodles are vegetarian. My sister will come back and only eat vegetarian noodles, so I’ll probably be hungry soon.
Huahua: This is the first time I’ve heard of “Renri”! How did it come about?
Qingqing: The elders say that Nuwa created humans on the seventh day, so today is like the “birthday” of each one of us. Happy birthday!
Huahua: Happy birthday to you, too. Hey, what did Nuwa do on the first six days?
Qingqing: According to the sequence, she created the chicken, dog, pig, sheep, ox and horse. They all arrived in this world before us, which is also why it’s best to eat vegetarian food today.
Huahua: That’s really interesting. I’m going to buy a cake after work to celebrate humanity’s birthday, haha.
