Kapitel 9: Buying Decoration: Pineapple
"Shall we buy some?"
"Really? I thought you will be the one who will oppose this." My mom reacted to me when I had stated so.
Well... Let me be a culture teacher for once. Usually, in the few days before Chinese New Year, we will need to clean up stuff in house. Let's say, cleaning up the doors, ceilings like how I did before, furniture or even the best? The place you would ended to have a lot of dirt in your face or maybe... The decomposed remains.
But of course it's all worth it and fun. Why? Cause you would not experience that everyday. But, there is a meaning behind that.
It's called as "sweeping away the dust", which also a prayer from me for everyone that we should let go the past, look at the future and for waaaay brighter future ahead. You won't be regret that!
And you know, after we have the sweeping away being done. Then we will start to placing the Chinese New Year decoration. You know, those decoration have their own meanings.
Let's say... It's like what I was about to buy with my mom as I told her,
"Let's start from pineapple first, mom?"
"Meh, boring. We are having that every year!" She answered me in a snarky tone that I can understand of. Yes, my dad loves to use pineapple decoration every year. But, I am agreed with my father for that. Well... Everyone knows that pineapple means "Luck and Wealth."
So... I decided to persuade my mom by saying,
"Don't think that much, mom. Let's buy some. I can assembling that for you." While pointing the pineapple shaped decoration that stood elegantly in front of them as the staffs of the seller were busy dealing with the other customers.
Speaking in which about the customers. As we all guessed, it's all Chinese. But what does made this thing interesting? Yes. The hype, the hype of Chinese New Year is undying. Not even a pandemic could stop them.
But I remember that we have to respect the ancestors with the cultures as what bibles had said. So... Of course that Includes myself for that aspect which led me to say,
"Do you want it? Want it? I can assemble and pay it if you want!"
"Meh! Your dad will be the one who assembles that instead. But, never mind. He will pick that if he is you. Cause... Yeah, you are right. It means wealth and luck. Everyone were putting those as a sign that they had prayed for themselves for the wealth and luck, may prosperity comes to us, everyone and becomes the successful and a kind hearted person."
Yay! She was willing to buy it! At last. So, I decided to call the staff to buy the medium sized pineapple decoration. And she took it for us which it was a pack of an unassembled stuff with it. Which contains a pair of them.
"15000 Rupiahs, not bad." I reacted as I'm seeing the quote while humming on myself.
