"Upper teeth." An'an spoke, revealing a small gap in her tooth!
"Open your mouth, let Mom see."
An'an opened her mouth, and one of her front teeth had fallen out, leaving only a black hole.
"Rinse your mouth with water and give your teeth to Mom."
Yu Yin carefully held the front tooth that had finally fallen out after so long.
"Mom, where should I put the tooth?"
"The upper tooth should be thrown onto the roof, right, Zheng Yue?" Yu Yin couldn't quite remember.
The upper teeth are thrown onto the roof, the lower teeth are buried under the threshold, or something like that.
"The upper tooth, shouldn't it be thrown under the threshold?" Zheng Yue couldn't remember either.
The two also reminisced about where they threw away their lost teeth when they were kids, but unfortunately, they had no recollection of it.
"Great-Grandma, I've lost a tooth!"
An'an excitedly told her great-grandmother the news.
"Really? That's great! Upper teeth or lower teeth?"
Grandma Lu knew that Yu Yin and the others were worried about their child not losing teeth, but now it's all right, they don't need to worry anymore.
"Great-Grandma, look at my front tooth." An'an showed her teeth to her great-grandmother; her front tooth had fallen out.
"Those are upper teeth. Throw them under the bed; they'll grow faster."
Grandma Lu told them some things to keep in mind when a child loses a tooth:
If you throw your upper teeth down and your lower teeth up, then you should throw the replaced lower teeth higher up, such as towards the roof.
Throw the replaced upper teeth down low, such as into a ditch or under the bed.
A popular folk saying goes, "If the upper teeth are thrown downwards, the child's new teeth will grow downwards quickly because they miss the old teeth; conversely, if the lower teeth are thrown upwards, they will eagerly grow upwards, resulting in faster and straighter teeth."
Yu Yin and the others listened with great interest; the customs and traditions were quite interesting and worth paying attention to.
Pingping was a little envious, thinking to himself, "Why don't my teeth fall out?"
"Little sister, how did you lose your tooth?"
"Ah, I just ate a piece of beef jerky, took a bite. The beef jerky didn't fall out, but my tooth did, haha..."
An An couldn't help but laugh just thinking about it; this jerky is amazing!
"Here, brother, have a piece too. You might just break a tooth!" An'an handed a piece of beef jerky to Pingping, letting him try it too.
Unfortunately, Pingping's teeth were quite strong, and what fell out was beef jerky.
On the way to school, Yu Yin told a story about losing teeth, and Zheng Yue laughed so hard she almost fell off the back of the bicycle. Raising children is quite interesting!
