本人的回憶錄，宗教文化
這天，老張公帶著武大郎來到張夫人父母的聚居地。一下車，武大郎就開始抱怨：“這個地方所有的店鋪都是那個女人（媽祖）家的，我們到這裏來幹什麽？”
老張公領著武大郎走進了一家店鋪，裏麵的掌櫃的向他打招呼，是故人重逢。接著，他們倆依次走進了每一家店鋪。裏麵的老板都向老張公打招呼。
武大郎問：“爺爺！為什麽你認識這裏的每一位老板？”
老張公回答：“這些店鋪以前都是我的，是我送給他們張家的！”
武大郎問：“你為什麽送給他們家這麽多的店鋪？”
One day, Publican Zhang took Martial Big Wolf to the place where Mrs. Zhang's parents lived. As soon as he got off the car, Martial Big Wolf started complaining: "All the shops in this place belong to that woman (Mazu), why are we here?"
Old Zhang Publican led Martial Big Wolf into a store, and the shopkeeper inside greeted him as an old friend reunited. Then the two of them went into each store in turn. The bosses inside all greeted Old Zhang Publican. Martial Big Wolf asked, “Grandpa! Why do you know every boss here?”
Old Zhang Publican replied, “All these stores used to be mine, I gave them to the Zhang family!”
Martial Big Wolf asked, “Why did you give so many stores to their family?”
老張公回答：“我們鄧人喜歡娶大個子女人做媳婦。在你爸爸向她求婚的三年前，我買下了她們家周圍的所有店鋪，並且立了一個特別的規矩，“顧客每次買東西，可以問一個商業方麵的問題。你媽媽喜歡做生意。她的生意經就是從每次買東西問一個問題學來的。當你爸爸向她求婚時，我買通了所有她認識的人替你爸爸說好話！”
武大郎問：“那她不感覺這事奇怪嗎？”
Old Zhang Publican replied, “We Deng people like to marry big women as daughters-in-law. Three years before your father proposed to her, I bought all the stores around their house and made a special rule, 'Customers can ask one question about business every time they buy something.' Your mom loved business. She learned her business lessons from asking one question per purchase. When your dad asked her to marry him, I bribed everyone she knew to put in a good word for your dad!”
Martial Big Wolf asked, “Doesn't she think it's strange?”
老張公回答：“她問這個問題啦！我的店鋪老板回答，‘我們張公做生意是以服務社會為宗旨的。他在全世界有三千多家店鋪，第一目的都是為顧客提供方便，利益顧客，而不是以尋求經濟利益為第一目的的。為此，國王賜予了他 ‘公’的爵位。”（注，“公”在公爵高低排位上相當於“王”，是最高的爵位）。
Old Zhang Publican replied, “She asked this question! My store owner replied, 'Our Zhang Publican does business to serve the society. He has more than 3,000 stores all over the world, all with the first purpose of providing convenience and benefit to his customers, rather than seeking financial gain as his first purpose. For this reason, the king bestowed upon him the title of 'Publican'.” (Note that “Publican” is equivalent to “King” in the hierarchy of dukes and is the highest nobility rank in Chinese Culture.)
1.1.2-2
在一個十字路口，老張公又說：“我知道關於你媽媽的每一件事，例如，她扣衣服紐扣的順序和你爸爸不一樣！”說著他麵對武大郎站著，解開了上衣的扣子，然後按照張夫人係扣的順序又把衣服扣上了。老張公又說，“這種係紐扣的順序，你有必要記下來。”說著，他讓武大郎把他自己的衣服扣子解開，按照她媽係扣的順序把衣服扣好。張公還蹲下來為武大郎糾正錯誤的係扣姿勢和順序。
武大郎問：“那我爸爸是怎麽係扣的？”
At a crossroads, Old Zhang Publican said, “I know every single thing about your mother, for example, she buttons her clothes in a different order than your father!” Saying this he stood facing Martial Big Wolf, unbuttoned his blouse, and then buttoned his clothes again in the order in which Mrs. Zhang had buttoned them. Old Zhang Publican added, “This order of button fastening is necessary for you to memorize.” Saying this, he asked Martial Big Wolf to unbutton his own clothes and button them up in the order in which her mother had buttoned them up. Zhang Publican also squatted down to correct Martial Big Wolf's wrong button fastening posture and order.
Martial Big Wolf asked, “Then how did my father fasten the buttons?”
老張公又站到了武大郎的麵前，解開了衣服扣子，說：“你爸爸係扣的方式簡單！他就從上向下，一順地扣下來了！”說著，他開始模仿禮敬公的係扣動作。
武大郎問：“為什麽她這麽係扣子？”
老張公回答：“我從她小的時候就開始研究她。她很小的時候就這樣係紐扣，直到現在。自從她們家的傭人告訴我她這個與眾不同的係扣方式，我就開始研究，到現在我也沒琢磨明白她為什麽那樣係扣子！”
Old Zhang Publican stood in front of Martial Big Wolf again, unbuttoned his shirt, and said, “Your father has a simple way of fastening buttons! He just buttoned it from the top down, in one smooth motion!” Saying this, he began to imitate the button fastening action of Publican Etiquette Salutation.
Martial Big Wolf asked, “Why does she fasten her buttons like that?”
Old Zhang Gong replied, “I have been studying her since she was small. She tied her buttons like this when she was very young until now. Ever since their maid told me about this unusual way of fastening her buttons, I started to study her, and to this day I haven't been able to figure out why she fastens her buttons that way!”
1.1.2-3
張夫人發現自從武大郎從他爺爺家回來，總找借口，進入她和禮敬的臥室看她和禮敬穿衣服。一天，外出之前，她故意等他來偷看時，匆忙地穿上外套兒，一邊向外走，一邊匆忙地係紐扣。她發現武大郎在直瞪瞪地看著她係紐扣，百思不得其解。
一天，張夫人在幫武大郎整理房間的時候，翻出了一件他的舊校服。她發現領口已經被撕爛了，就扔到了地上，準備隨後扔掉。武大郎急忙過去撿了起來，說，“這件衣服是我巫毒學院的校服，我想留著作紀念。”
張夫人再次查看衣服，說：“既然你要留作紀念，那我幫你把它修好。”
Mrs. Zhang noticed that since Martial Big Wolf had returned from his grandfather's house, he always found excuses to enter her and Etiquette Salutation's bedroom to watch her and Etiquette Salutation dress. One day, before going out, she deliberately waited for him to peek in, hurriedly put on her coat, and hurriedly fastened her buttons as she walked out the door. She realized that Martial Big Wolf was staring straight at her as she fastened her buttons and was puzzled.
One day, while helping Martial Big Wolf organize his room, Mrs. Zhang rummaged through one of his old school uniforms. Noticing that the collar had been torn, she threw it to the floor, ready to throw it away later. Martial Big Wolf hurried over and picked it up, saying, “This is my voodoo uniform. I want to keep it as a souvenir.”
Mrs. Zhang looked at the uniform again and said, “Since you want to keep it as a souvenir, I'll help you fix it.”
武大郎指著領口處已經嚴重損茬的布料說：“補不了了，這兒都已經損茬到接縫了，布料不夠用了。”
張夫人說：“補這件衣服，得先把這布料織出來，然後再補。”
武大郎奇怪地叨咕：“衣服上的布，怎麽織？”
張夫人說：“能織！你跟我去裁縫鋪看看，就明白了。我得先讓他們幫我畫個樣兒，他們畫得又快又好。”
Martial Big Wolf pointed to the badly stubbled fabric at the neckline and said, “It can't be mended, it's all stubbled to the seams here, and there's not enough fabric to go around.”
Mrs. Zhang said, “To mend this uniform, we must first weave this fabric and then mend it.”
Martial Big Wolf strangely chattered, “How do you weave the cloth on the clothes?”
Mrs. Zhang said, “It can be woven! You'll understand if you come with me to the tailor's store. I must ask them to draw a pattern for me first, and they do it fast and well.”
到了裁縫鋪後，張夫人先說武大郎要看 “織補”，請裁縫店的人示範給他看。然後她就和一位裁縫開始研究如何修補武大郎的巫毒學院校服。
當裁縫鋪把他的校服送了回來，武大郎驚奇地發現他的校服的領口處被織多了好多布，迷惑不解，但沒問。武大郎常去看他的校服，在焦急地等待著張夫人去補他的校服。
Upon arriving at the tailor store, Mrs. Zhang first said that Martial Big Wolf wanted to see “weaving mending” and asked the tailor store to demonstrate it to him. And then she and one of the tailors began to work on how to mend Martial Big Wolf's Voodoo Academy uniform.
When the tailor's store returned his uniform, Martial Big Wolf was surprised to find so much extra cloth woven into the neckline of his uniform, confused, but didn't ask. Martial Big Wolf often visited his school uniform and waited anxiously for Mrs. Zhang to mend it.
這天，張夫人修補完了校服後，就出去了。她回來後，發現武大郎已經把校服穿在了身上，正在捉摸著係紐扣。這件修補後的校服的領口和以前的有些不同。武大郎琢磨著，還是把紐扣係上了。張夫人在一邊看著，沒出聲。隨後，她拿出了一個金元寶讓武二郎給裁縫鋪送過去，把剩下的錢拿回來。
武二郎發現拿回來的剩下來的金子很少，要查賬，是什麽東西花費了那麽多的金子。裁縫給他解釋，那件校服所用的線是重慶那地方產的蟬絲線，很貴。而張夫人要用含絲量更高的金絲線來修補，金絲線更貴，所以才花費了一個金元寶。
On this day, Mrs. Zhang went out after mending the school uniform. When she came back, she found that Martial Big Wolf had already put the school uniform on and was catching at fastening the buttons. The buttons on this mended uniform were a bit different from the previous ones. Martial Big Wolf fumbled with it and still fastened the buttons. Mrs. Zhang watched from the side without making a sound. She then took out a gold dumpling and asked Martial Second Wolf to send it to the tailor store and get the rest of the money back.
Martial Second Wolf realizes that there is very little gold left in the take back and wants to check the account as to what cost so much gold. The tailor explained to him that the thread used for that school uniform was the cicada silk thread produced in Chong’qing, which was very expensive. And Mrs. Zhang wanted to use gold silk thread with higher silk content to repair it, which was even more expensive, that's why it cost a gold dumpling.
1.1.2-4
張夫人聽見武二郎和武大郎又在屋裏打起來了，跑了過來，看見武二郎正在撕扯武大郎的衣服領子。她過去就打了武二郎兩巴掌。武二郎哭著跑了。武大郎一邊哭一邊係扣子，還叨咕，“又被他給扯壞了”。張夫人蹲了下來，一邊說“沒壞，是你係得順序不對，”一邊解開他係上的扣子。武大郎推開了張夫人的手，一邊叨咕著“這怎麽沒壞呢！？” 一邊琢磨著自己係扣子，但他怎麽也扣不上。張夫人又蹲下了，說： “這是咱們家祖傳的‘將軍扣兒’是雙層扣兒。我來教你怎麽係！ 你得先係上裏麵層的一半，然後以這個順序係外麵層扣子，然後在底下一拉！”校服果然沒壞，被張夫人給係上了。
武大郎要解開扣子，自己練習一下係將軍扣兒，可他怎麽也解不開，就說：“媽你幫我解開，我再練習一下係將軍扣！”
Mrs. Zhang heard Martial Second Wolf and Martial Big Wolf fighting again in the house and ran over to see Martial Second Wolf tearing the collar of Martial Second Wolf’s collar. He went over and slapped Martial Second Wolf twice. Martial Second Wolf cried and ran away. As he cried, Martial Big Wolf tied his buttons and muttered, “He tore it again.” Mrs. Zhang squatted down and said, “It's not broken, it's just that you tied the buttons in the wrong order,” while undoing the buttons he had fastened. Martial Big Wolf pushed away Mrs. Zhang's hands, while muttering “How come it's not broken! He fumbled with his own buttons, but he couldn't fasten them. Mrs. Zhang squatted down again and said, “This is our family's ancestral ‘General's Button’ which is a double layer button. I'll teach you how to fasten it! You must fasten half of the inner layer first, then fasten the outer layer buttons in this order, and then pull at the bottom!” The school uniform really wasn't broken and was tied by Mrs. Zhang.
Martial Big Wolf wanted to undo the buttons and practice tying the general's buttons himself, but he couldn't get it undone, so he said, “Mom, you help me undo it, and I'll practice tying the general's buttons again!”
張夫人（媽祖）聽後，一邊流淚一邊說：“要解開將軍扣兒，你得先在上麵拉一下，然後再解扣子！”這時，她聽見在一邊偷看的武二郎跑了，就追了出來。
武二郎哭著說：“那個孫猴子叫你一聲媽，你就高興地哭了！我總叫你媽，也沒見你笑過！”
張夫人帶他來到了金庫，指著儲備區的架子說，‘你還記得這裏以前是什麽樣吧！我們家的儲備資金是三年的收入，全花沒了。剛才那個金元寶是我在流動資金架子上拿的。你若再打你大哥，咱家就要破產了！那咱們都得像那家姓孫的馬戲團的人似地，住在大街上了。”
武二郎害怕了，說：“媽！以後我再也不打大哥了！”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang (Mazu) shed tears and said, “To undo the general's buttons, you must pull up them a little before you undo them!” At that moment, she heard Martial Second Wolf, who was peeping from the side, run away and chased after him.
Martial Second Wolf cried, “That Sun Monkey called you mom, and you cried with joy! I always call you mom, and I've never seen you smile!”
Mrs. Zhang took him to the vault and pointed to the shelves in the reserve area, saying, 'You remember what this place used to be like! Our family's reserve fund was three years' worth of income, and it was all spent. That gold dumpling just now was taken by me from the liquidity shelf. If you hit your big brother again, our family will go bankrupt! Then we'll all have to live on the street like that circus people surnamed Sun.”
Martial Second Wolf got scared and said, “Mom! I'll never hit my big brother again!”
