Chapter 802 Customs and Blessings
The crowing of a rooster marks the beginning of a new day and a new year.
Su Hanyan lifted the thick door curtain and saw small snowflakes floating in the sky. A faint fragrance came from the yard. It turned out that without knowing what time it was, the red plum blossom had quietly begun to bloom.
Su Jingrui changed into new clothes, picked up a string of firecrackers and set them off, waking up everyone in the yard.
People put on their coats and went to Su Hanyan's house without even making breakfast.
"Oh, my dear aunt, you are about to get married, why are you standing at the door watching the snowflakes without any hurry? Hurry up and dress yourself up!"
"I got it." Su Hanyan smiled and turned around to change into a new set of clothes.
She had prepared several new sets of clothes, but Old Mrs. Jin helped her choose the one she was wearing: a beige sweater dress with a bright red wool coat over it, and a pair of black leather boots on her feet.
"She's beautiful, really beautiful, like a fairy from heaven."
"Oh, our Yanyan is like a fairy who has descended to earth. Whoever marries Yanyan will get a great deal."
A group of people praised her like a flower. No matter how thick-skinned Su Hanyan was, she couldn't stand such praise and her face turned red.
All the neighbors came to help. The men in the Su family were all in the kitchen. Wu Jiaojiao got up in the middle of the night and boiled red eggs, made tofu pudding, and steamed a few trays of big buns for the villagers who came to her house to help and congratulate.
We can’t let the neighbors work in vain! After a flurry of work, Su Hanyan ate breakfast and put on makeup. It was already past eight o’clock, and the auspicious time was approaching. Aunt Lin and Aunt Wang were going to “open her face” and comb her hair.
"It will hurt a little, but don't be afraid. I've done this many times, so I'm sure it will be quick." Aunt Lin twisted two red threads into a figure-eight loop, pulled the thread with one hand, bit the other end with her mouth, and twisted it quickly on her face to remove excess hair and make her face look smoother.
After the face is done, it’s time to comb the hair.
The room was crowded with people, all watching Aunt Wang take out the delicate wooden comb from the tray and comb Su Hanyan's long hair from top to bottom:
If you comb your hair thoroughly, you will have many children and live a long life.
After combing twice, the white hair was back to the level of eyebrows.
There is a beginning and an end, and you will be rich and prosperous in this life.
After combing her hair, Aunt Wang put the comb on the tray, smiled kindly and said to Su Hanyan: "Yanyan, Auntie has finished combing your hair. I wish you and the groom will live in harmony and happiness until old age.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers and car engines came from outside the yard, and someone shouted, "The groom is here to pick up the bride!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers and bursts of noise in the yard.
"What's happening outside?" Su Hanyan was very curious and wanted to go to the window to take a look.
Several old men in the courtyard pressed her into the house and said, "Just sit there and wait obediently. If you look out like this, the groom will think you can't wait to go with him! It will be so embarrassing if others see you!"
Su Hanyan stuck out her tongue and thought: I have been his for a long time...
"Wow! He's such a rich man..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Look at all the cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. They're really a portion for each person. They're just giving it away like it's free!"
"This guy is great! I've always said that Yanyan is lucky and has a unique eye for people. She will definitely marry a good man. Look, what did I say?"
Su Hanyan clicked her tongue: "You guys are having fun watching me even though I'm not allowed to watch!"
