Many old sayings about swallows in rural areas are good, but few are bad. People in our village also say that if there are swallows making nests at home, it means that this family is good and blessed. According to my grandfather, my family used to be poor, and they all lived in mud houses in tile houses. Swallows fly into the house to nest in spring, some nest on the beams, and some nest at the highest part of the hall wall. There will be a lot of swallow droppings directly under the bird's nest, and the family will put paper under the bird's nest. It will be full in a few days, and it looks uncomfortable.

At that time, grandpa said he was too young to understand. He saw the swallows coming into the house and making the house so dirty, so he stabbed the swallows' nest with a bamboo pole. After several times, the swallow never came again. Grandpa said with emotion that he regretted stabbing the swallow nest. It is estimated that he stabbed the swallow's nest, leaving him alone at home, and several brothers left early. However, I think it is purely a personal psychological effect.

1. Swallows come to nest, and the home becomes lively.

Swallows come to nest mostly to give birth. Every morning, Mother Swallow will fly out of the yard for food, and when she finds bugs, she will fly back to feed the hungry chicks. Chickens scramble to eat the worms in their mouths, making the family very lively, just like being more popular at home, as if there were any happy events at home.

Birds sing like a cheerful song of life. People are always happier when they see something alive than something dead. Therefore, they are inexplicably influenced by this nest of swallows, and their hearts are clear and their mood is upward. When you are in a good mood, you feel happy when you see anything. It seems that there are many happy events.

2. Swallows are born, and the family adds Ding.

When a swallow gives birth, we associate it with the idea that there will be more new members in the family. This idea has a long history. Every time the old man sees the swallow giving birth, he is always in a happy mood. People in the village often say that where swallows are born, the population will multiply and the family incense will continue. It's a great event for Gardin to get rich.

I remember going to other people's houses to play when I was a child. The chicken accidentally fell from its nest and couldn't fly. Others will put on gloves with ladders and send swallows to their nests, saying that they should be carefully cared for and feel like their own children.

This is also a hint in my heart! People in the village say that swallows give birth to babies, and their families give birth to babies. Everyone is somewhat convinced, because the village is relatively backward, and everyone is holding the mentality of "believing in it, not believing in it". Anyway, everyone says so, and they don't believe it all.

Grandpa is still guarding the old house, and I have lived with him since I was a child. I haven't seen swallows nesting at home since I can remember, and I haven't seen them until now. The days are still the same. I can only say that there are no happy events in life, but there are joys and sorrows.
