Chapter 43 woman's hand

If nothing else, generally speaking, women's hands are smaller, slender, soft and delicate than men's.Don't people often use "slender hands" and "ten fingers pointed like thin bamboo shoots" to describe women's hands? The hands of women in the old days really came in handy.Weaving, sewing, starch washing, pulling the slender hemp rope to cover the soles of shoes, cleaning pots and stoves, carrying the urinal for in-laws, packing for men who go out to work, washing diapers, etc., are really numerous.Of course, there are also the hands of ladies who indulge in embroidery, playing the piano and singing, and catching butterflies with fans, but that is not the fate of most women's hands, so it is omitted.

Although women's hands have been toiled, it is strange that they always maintain the true colors of women's hands, which are dexterous and full of luster.Looking at many pictures of ladies in ancient times, the most beautiful thing is not the eyes and mouth, but the hands that hang peacefully on the chest.They are smooth and beautiful, shining like jade.Hundreds of years later, when I look at the woman in the painting again, I feel that the hand is about to move again full of spirituality, as if I want to pick up the oil lamp again, and I want to open the bamboo curtain to take a look at the man in her room. It's like going to the river to wash rice.

A woman's hands are timeless. Today's women don't have to work so hard.But as usual, they have to go to the kitchen and take care of the children.They still have to do laundry, wash rice, chop vegetables, and stand in front of the gas stove and scatter chopped green onions into boiling oil.If they are in a good mood, they also knit sweaters, cut them, decorate their rooms, and so on.They use their hands to keep the house spotless, even the leaves of the flowers on the window sills are also spotless, and the air in the house is really transparent.When women are busy with these things, they lose some time. Their foreheads and corners of their eyes will be wrinkled quietly, and the luster of their hair is not the same as before, but their hands are still different from men. .

So I thought, why don't women's hands age easily?I think one of the main reasons is due to their constant contact with vegetables, fruits, flowers and water.When the women were chopping vegetables, the scarlet juice of persimmons flowed out, the thick green juice of celery flowed out, the fragrant juice of cucumbers overflowed, and the milky juice of potatoes also flowed between the knives. out.Without exception, they flowed to women's hands, nourishing them with rich nutrients, making them fresh and bright.Flowers and evergreens must be touched by a woman's hands with their fragrance and aura, which a man cannot acquire.Most women love water, and every soak in rice milk and laundry water gives their hands an excellent moisturizer.

I say this, not to encourage women to go to the kitchen.But do women who don't go to the kitchen have a taste? Another reason why women's hands don't age easily, I guess, is because of the nourishment of tears.Women love to cry, and few people will let the tears flow down their necks and skirts without caring about them, and few people will wipe their tears with a handkerchief like women in classical novels. Most women cry with "snot and tears", The hands came just in time, wiping the cheeks one by one.Tears are the quintessence of a man, and they come out only when one is extremely sad and happy, and they must nourish a woman's hands in a special way.Tears slowly permeate the inside of the hands through the capillary pores on the skin of the hands. At this time, the sorrow will be resolved, and the power of youth and hope will gradually recover. After the baptism of tears, women's hands will become more energetic. .

The above two points I have speculated on should not be seen by medical experts, otherwise it will be inevitable to investigate the common sense mistakes I made. I don’t want to go to court with red lips and white teeth.What's more, I always have deep fear and doubts about some common sense knowledge that will not change for thousands of years. Let's not talk about it. I forgot which year I read in a book that women like to stretch out their hands more than men before they die, and they always want to grab something.They had already lost the ability to call out at that time, and they stretched out their hands when they expressed their last wishes. Perhaps because hands are the language they use the most in their lives, they left their last passion to express with their hands.

I am such a woman now. I use my hands to write, and I also use them to do laundry, make beds, cut vegetables and fruits, make dumplings, pickle side dishes, and clean toilets.If I love someone, I put my hands in his hair and stroke the strands.If I am old and unfortunately reach out my hand like most women on my deathbed, I hope my old hand can tremblingly grasp the hand of my beloved.
