The skit was being prepared in full swing and the wedding was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Because Dahua was the only daughter in her family and the man was also alone, they finally decided to hold a big banquet in the village.
Invite the whole village to drink together at the wedding.
The day before the wedding, the whole village was filled with the aroma of fried food.
Four large pots were lit at the same time in the threshing ground, and the scene was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
The children gathered around and cheered greedily, as if just smelling the fragrance meant they would eat the food!
Most of the women in the village went to help, washing and cutting vegetables, and washing and cutting meat.
The pots, pans, and tables were all borrowed by each family after dinner.
Spreading out from the threshing ground to the surrounding areas, the road is lined with rows of tables, which is spectacular.
Tomorrow, more than a dozen large pots will be fired at the same time. The scene shocked Song Jinxiu.
What happened to the hardship and frugality of the 1950s? Few people in later generations have achieved that level of success!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Dahua to get married so soon. I thought Honglian would stay for a few more years." The aunts chatted while working.
"How can children's affairs be handled according to adults' wishes?" another aunt said while washing vegetables.
"That's true. But seeing how Honglian was looking for a son-in-law, I thought she would marry into the city. I didn't expect her to be snatched away by the wolf cub from our village! Hahaha!"
After the aunt finished speaking, the other aunts beside her also burst into laughter.
"That's right, the men in the village are so outstanding! They can farm, hunt, and love their wives!"
"The most important thing is that I know her background and feel at ease when she marries me!"
"But I never thought it would be the little mouse who got the girl! I thought..."
"Why do you think so?" asked another aunt.
"Nothing, nothing! It was just a surprise. The little mouse has such a small body. Hahaha, it's just quite amusing to think about!"
"Hahaha, speaking of this, I heard that the beds in their house are all custom-made and reinforced!" Aunt said quietly.
"A normal bed wouldn't be able to accommodate a large flower! Hahaha."
"You shameless old man, why are you asking about the couple's bed? Are you planning to eavesdrop?"
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
"Go, go, go, go away. What nonsense are you talking about? Who do you think I am? I just overheard it."
"Who is the gossipy one saying this?"
“…”
A group of aunts were chatting happily. The children in the village also had a task, which was to hang red lanterns on the trees along the road.
The whole village became joyous in an instant, and the New Year atmosphere arrived early!
Early the next morning, there was a deafening sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.
The groom, accompanied by his four brothers and followed by a group of people beating drums and gongs, walked around the village and then went to the bride's house.
He also scattered several handfuls of candy during the process, causing the little kids to follow behind him and scream.
When they arrived at the bride's house, the groom scattered some candies again, which caused cheers from the children.
Song Jinxiu just watched from afar. After all, she had to wait until after the New Year to celebrate the third year, so it was better not to disrupt other people's weddings.
She also gave a gift of one thousand yuan, but could only let Liu Ankang attend the banquet as a representative.
Liu Ankang told her not to cook and said he would bring her some delicious food.
The whole village is having a banquet today, so it would be a bit strange for her to cook alone.
Song Jinxiu was a little bored and stayed at home counting ants.
"Xiao Song, Xiao Song!" Aunt Cuihua's voice came.
"I'm here, what's the matter, aunt?" Song Jinxiu quickly got up and walked out.
"I knew you were at home. Come on, let's go to the banquet!" Aunt Cuihua pulled her away.
"No, no, no, auntie, I'm still in mourning and can't go!" Song Jinxiu quickly stopped and said.
"I know, I know. It was Honglian who asked me to come. Oh, it's the bride's mother.
She said that today was a great day, and any demons or monsters that came could be suppressed by her." Aunt Cuihua said as she pulled Song Jinxiu out.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Song Jinxiu was helpless because she was small and weak, and no matter how she struggled, she was dragged away.
"In the past, when a family member passed away, let alone all these niceties, it was good to have a place to bury them." Aunt Cuihua said as she walked.
"We shouldn't forget filial piety, but I didn't ask you to get close to the newlyweds! Just having a meal is no big deal.
Didn't someone say that before? Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart.
"You know whether you are filial or not. Besides, this is a happy event for the whole village, so why would you be left out?"
The Honglian couple are the least concerned with these etiquettes. They believe in enjoying life while it lasts.
It is often said that if they pass away one day, don't make a big fuss for them, just burn them to death, so that they won't have to be dug up in the future.
We are used to seeing life and death, and there have been many coffin lids blown off during air raids in the past, so everyone has become indifferent to it.
"Okay, okay, I'll just sit here. I won't go any further." Song Jinxiu sat down on the chair at the back and didn't move.
"Okay, then don't run around! I still have to continue helping, you can eat here later." Aunt Cuihua didn't stay long, she was very busy today.
"No, no, now that we are here, we must eat before we leave!" Song Jinxiu smiled widely.
If the host doesn't care, what else do I have to worry about? Besides, I'm already here and sitting down, so what else can I do?
There was no one at Song Jinxiu's table; she was the only one sitting there alone.
Everyone either watches the fun in the front or sits in the front. Generally, those who come later sit further back.
As for the front, after a short rest, the groom took his team to perform tricks in front of the yard, livening up the atmosphere.
The various tests from her family included reciting poems, singing, dancing, and even somersaults!
Anyway, just perform to your heart’s content before the auspicious time arrives.
The groom was conserving his energy as he would soon carry the bride from the room to the ox cart!
Two big red flowers are tied to the front of the necks of the two oxen, and they are pulling a cart behind them. This is a specially designed double-ox cart.
After one performance after another, the wall of people in front of the bride's door finally dispersed.
The groom happily threw out two handfuls of candy, then walked into the bride's room with his head held high.
The bride sat on the bed in a bright red dress, with a big red flower on her head and the most popular bridal makeup on her face.
White background with red plateau and then red lips.
When you walk out, you will be the most beautiful person on this street. If you are not a newlywed, you cannot do this exclusive makeup.
Taking a deep breath, the groom carried the bride on his back, and the two said goodbye to their parents and went to their new home.
