At nine o'clock in the morning, the wedding procession arrived at the old house and parked. Amid the sound of firecrackers, Dongqing carried his third sister out of the house and placed her in the car.
There is a local custom where the older brother usually carries the younger sister onto the bridal sedan chair or car. If there is no older brother in the family, the younger brother can carry her.
Sun Hao's family was poor to begin with, and Dong Qing didn't ask him for a single penny, so he essentially got a beautiful wife for free.
Dongqing put his sister in the car and had just closed the door when Li Yuzhu brought over a basin of water and splashed it in front of the car door. Six cars started up amidst the sound of firecrackers.

She can visit her two older sisters, but not her younger brother. Of course, Dongqing and his wife can't visit her either, because Dongqing's house is her maternal home.
On the morning of the 29th of the year, Dongqing went to his third sister's house to pick her up for her return visit, a day also known as the return visit to her parents' home.
After lunch, Dongqing took his third sister back home. The wedding was now complete. After today, Dong Sanmei could go back to her parents' home whenever she wanted, even if she stayed there for an extended period. That was the custom in their hometown.
