In a short while, the dowry was ready, including the three-turn and one-ring that Ah Niu brought when he got engaged.
When Zhou Bin saw that everything had been done, he immediately asked everyone to get in the car, then started the car and drove towards Aniu's house.
After a short distance, the car arrived at the entrance of the village.
At this time, Wang Quanwa and Wang Haichao were already waiting at the entrance of the village. As soon as they saw the wedding procession coming, they immediately lit the firecrackers hanging on the trees.
There was a crackling sound as the car slowly drove into the village.
When the car was about to arrive at Aniu's house, the people waiting at the door immediately set off firecrackers and bursts of blue smoke rose up.
Someone lit the fire that had been prepared at the door, and the flames immediately burned fiercely.
Zhou Bin parked the car at the door and got out first.
Others also came down one after another, and everyone stood aside and watched.
All the villagers came, and everyone looked at the car with joy on their faces, waiting for the bride to get off.
Aniu got out of the car, tidied his clothes, turned around and hurriedly carried Xiujuan on his back, then tried to cross the fire in front of him.
During this process, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground.
An old lady who was specially invited to the wedding said auspicious words and blessed the newlyweds.
The band also played cheerful music at this time, and everyone applauded and laughed.
Aniu carried Xiujuan on his back to the bridal chamber amid everyone's blessings and let Xiujuan sit on the kang to rest.
He got up and left the room to start preparing for the wedding.
At this time, Aniu's family had already prepared everything. After Zhou Defu discussed with Aniu, the morning banquet officially began.
Zhou Bin's family was the first to be invited to the banquet, and men, women, young and old from the village came to congratulate them.
Zhou Bin gave Aniu a hundred yuan as a wedding gift.
The villagers also gave gifts of two or five yuan to express their congratulations.
Soon, all the villagers were seated, and Zhou Defu gave an order, and the morning banquet officially began.
The breakfast at their wedding is usually spicy noodle soup with side dishes, so the first dish is a dish of cold lotus root, followed by a dish of cold shredded vegetables, a dish of boiled meat, a bowl of meatball stew, and a dish of dry candies.
These dishes are called drinking dishes. Everyone first holds the wine cup and drinks the wine before eating the noodles.
If you can’t drink, just eat the food.
After three rounds of drinking, the waiters would bring a large wooden plate with ten bowls of red spicy noodle soup on it.
Then the dedicated deacon standing beside the table brought the food to everyone. The older people started eating first, and then everyone else started slurping down the noodles.
Generally, the noodles served at weddings taste very good, and today’s noodles were even better.
Therefore, Zhou Bin couldn't help but eat ten bowls in a row before he stopped.
The others also ate eight or nine bowls before they were full.
Everyone touched their bellies and walked out of the tent contentedly.
Someone was standing outside handing out cigarettes to everyone. Some people took the cigarettes and lit them up directly, while others simply put them between their ears.
Then we waited for the wedding ceremony to officially begin. It was almost eleven o'clock when the wedding ceremony officially began.
A stage had already been set up at the door of Aniu's house, and everyone gathered underneath, waiting for the wedding to begin.
After a while, Zhou Defu was the first to stand on the stage.
He was the host of the wedding. There was no microphone, so he just shouted with his throat.
He said with a happy face: "Liu Aniu, Wang Xiujuan's wedding is now officially starting! Now please invite the family members of both parties to the stage!"
As he spoke, Wang Lixing, his wife, and Liu Junyi walked onto the stage happily and sat on the stools that had been prepared.
Then Zhou Defu shouted loudly: "Now please welcome a couple, Liu Aniu and Wang Xiujuan to the stage."
Everyone in the audience applauded enthusiastically, and the two walked onto the stage with smiles on their faces.
Zhou Defu announced the official start of the wedding. First, he presented the marriage certificate to the two newlyweds as the witness, and then he gave a speech to congratulate the newlyweds.
After finishing their speeches, the two of them bowed to their elders, changed their words, bowed to each other, and finally, with everyone's blessings, they became husband and wife.
After the wedding ceremony, the lunch banquet officially began.
The banquet was naturally prepared by Chef Liu Renhou, who used all his skills to help his old friend prepare a grand banquet.
Once everyone was at the table, the banquet officially began.
As the dishes were served, everyone's eyes widened.
Today’s banquet was so wonderful that it could be compared to the banquet held by Thirteen Flowers.
There was fish, meat, chicken, duck, shrimp and crab on the banquet. It was a dazzling array of dishes.
Zhou Bin specially provided Liu Junyi with thirty plum blossom fish as the finale of the banquet.
After the cold dishes were served, the deacon at the table hurriedly picked up the wine jug and poured a cup of wine to toast Zhou Defu. After all, he was of a high generation and was the village chief, so he should be the first to drink.
Then he poured a second cup of wine and toasted it to Zhou Dexing.
And so on, everyone drinks according to their seniority. If someone doesn't want to drink, they can decline, and the deacon won't force them.
After everyone finished drinking, Zhou Defu was the first to pick up his chopsticks, and then the others started to pick up their dishes.
During this period, everyone can toast each other or pour themselves a drink.
Zhou Bin's alcohol tolerance was average, so he toasted his two grandfathers and father, then drank a cup himself and stopped drinking, concentrating on eating the food.
After everyone had a taste of the dish, they all gave a thumbs up and praised the taste of the dish.
Zhou Bin, Li Nan, Xiao Hua and his father were all very satisfied with the meal and kept praising Liu Renhou's cooking skills.
