Using local materials to remedy a slip of the tongue

When you say something wrong or do something wrong in a specific environment, and there is no other way to make up for it, you may as well follow the established topic and use local materials to see if there is anything you can borrow from your own words at that time, and try to explain your mistakes to the beautiful, good and auspicious side. For example:

There is a custom in the countryside of Hubei province that a distinguished guest comes to the family and respects eggs. An old man came to visit his sister. My niece, who happened to be studying abroad, was also at home. She took the initiative to cook eggs for her uncle. But when it was put on the table, her uncle held chopsticks and refused to eat. When her mother saw it, no, there were six eggs in uncle's bowl. This is the most taboo of local people, its homonym is "lutuan". The mother blamed her daughter and said:

"How can you give uncle six eggs? Do you know what it sounds like? "

After all, my daughter is a smart man. She understood the meaning at once. What shall I do? She turned her head and said calmly:

"Why do you think that? In my opinion, an egg is an ellipsoid, full of red heart and white meat. Six eggs symbolize that my uncle has been stable and has spent more than 60 years. This is happiness. All in all, happiness and wealth. I'll give my uncle another egg. "

Then he took an egg from his bowl and gave it to his uncle

"I wish my uncle a healthy age of 70. When my uncle's 70th birthday comes, I'll offer him eggs again to wish him a long and healthy life. " The words made my uncle smile and mother's embarrassment disappear.
