On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, both Chen Baoguo and He Damei were dressed neatly.
He Damei was in Tian Wenjun's room and she didn't even go into the new house.
She got up in the morning and put on the red skirt that Chen Baoguo bought for her. Tian Wenjun's eyes lit up when she saw her.
"Damei, you look so beautiful in a skirt?"
A hint of shyness flashed across He Damei's eyes: "Sister-in-law, is it really beautiful?
I have never worn a skirt since I was a child. This is my first skirt in my 23 years.
This is still my favorite gift from someone. After today, I will definitely keep it well. "
Tian Wenjun was amused.
"Wear it while you are still young, because later you won't be able to wear it if you want to."
He Damei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, when you help me put on makeup today, can you help me look as beautiful as last time?"
"I promise you'll look better today than last time."
Tian Wenjun was cleaning up here, and Chen Baoguo had also cleaned up.
He had already started helping to greet the guests in the yard. The host of their wedding was an older person in the village who was well-known and had a good reputation.
The person in charge at the wedding here just makes speeches, says some words of blessing, and bows in the hall.
The yard became more and more lively, and many children in the village stood at the door to watch the bride.
Boys can still come into the room to see the bride, but girls cannot.
There is a saying here that little girls cannot enter the room where the bride stays at a wedding, especially the bridal chamber, otherwise the bride will be more likely to give birth to a girl as her first child.
Zhang Meilan was also guarding He Damei.
Zhang Meilan was afraid that some young man in the village who had a good relationship with Chen Baoguo would come in and make trouble for the bride.
These guys were so bad that they either stabbed the bride with needles or pinched her, so Zhang Meilan had to keep watch.
For some reason, He Damei always felt that Chen Baoguo's wedding was more lively than theirs.
When she held a wedding banquet in her hometown, there were not so many children watching.
He Damei would give each of the children who came into the room a handful of candy and melon seeds. The little girls were so curious that they could only lie on the window and watch.
He Damei asked, "Grandma, why don't you let the girl in?"
Zhang Meilan said: "The older generation said that when getting married, girls cannot enter the room where the bride is, otherwise the bride will give birth to a girl as her first child."
What?
What kind of bullshit is this?
He Damei was surprised. It was the first time she heard such a statement.
When encountering these things, He Damei just turned rebellious and she didn't believe these things.
Since when did a woman's ability to bear a son or a daughter become determined by a little girl who had nothing to do with her?
He Damei leaned on the window and said to the little girls lying outside the window: "Little girls, come in quickly. Sister will give you wedding candy."
Zhang Meilan laughed and said, "You are just like my Zhaodi. My Zhaodi is stubborn and you are the same."
Soon a few little girls came in, and Zhang Meilan did not try to stop them.
He Damei grabbed a few more candies for each of them. As soon as the little girls went out, a few more little girls came in quickly.
All the candies and melon seeds on the plate were given to the children.
Zhang Cuihua was in the kitchen looking for something for the cook when someone said, "Cuihua, go check on your second daughter-in-law. She's in the room with the girls and they can't go in. Several girls went in just now. Go and talk to her, otherwise your Damei will definitely give birth to a girl as her first child."
Zhang Cuihua didn't mind at all and said, "It's fine if they want a girl, as long as they like it."
Today is a good day. We can't go in and kick all those little girls out just for such a small matter, can we?
It’s not a big deal. Whether it’s a son or a daughter, aren’t they all your own flesh and blood?
The woman smiled and said, "Come on, come on, you two old people should just be good people."
Zhang Cuihua smiled and continued to work.
Above the village, the sound of opera lingered from a loud speaker. Looking down from above, there were ten dining tables in the square loess courtyard.
There were red double happiness characters on the windows and walls in the yard.
Zhang Qiang and Chen Dazhuang were also helping today. Each of them had a white towel hanging around their necks and were carrying plates to the table as their supervisor called.
There are rules for sitting down at the table here, which are divided into east, south, west and north. For example, the first table on the north side is for the mother-in-law's family, and the first table on the east side is for the new bride.
It’s just that He Damei came to the wedding alone, so the banquet table here was empty.
As long as the people from Zhang Cuihua's maternal uncle's family are present, the newlyweds can get married.
The supervisor shouted from above: "Uncle, please take your seat. The newlyweds are ready to get married."
He Damei felt nervous. We still have to get married?
She had never seen what a wedding ceremony looked like.
Soon Chen Baoguo came in with a red veil.
He couldn't see He Damei early in the morning, so He Damei didn't leave the room.
Chen Baoguo looked at He Damei at this moment, his eyes shining.
His wife is so beautiful and pretty.
Zhang Qiang and Chen Dazhuang came in, saw the two people looking at each other in affectionate eyes, and then looked at the shoes lying on the kang.
Chen Dazhuang chuckled, and when Chen Baoguo put the veil on He Damei's head, he bent down, picked up He Damei's shoes and ran away.
By the time Tian Wenjun saw it, it was too late.
Tian Wenjun shouted: "Baoguo, Damei's shoes were taken away by Dazhuang."
Chen Dazhuang stood outside the window and said with a smile: "Their new daughter-in-law came from another place, but you carried her around the village on your back. This also means that you brought her back.
Your wife hasn't even left the house, how can you come in?"
Chen Baoguo gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Dazhuang, just wait for me. When you get married, you will see how I will deal with you."
Chen Baoguo was about to go out to grab shoes for He Damei, but Chen Dazhuang said with a smile, "I'm still a year away from getting married, let's talk about it when I get married."
He Damei gritted her teeth when she heard this. They were about to get married, and she would not allow Chen Dazhuang to ruin her good fortune.
He Damei jumped off the kang and was out before anyone could react.
He Damei held down her veil with one hand and opened the door curtain with the other.
Chen Dazhuang was standing at the window and was about to run away when he saw a person in a red dress in front of him and stopped.
Is this Baoguo’s wife?
She looks really good dressed like this.
Just as Chen Dazhuang thought of this, He Damei stepped forward and snatched back her shoes. She then kicked Chen Dazhuang on the calf.
The people nearby laughed when they saw this scene.
By the time Chen Baoguo reacted and walked towards the door, He Damei had already come back into the room carrying her shoes.
Chen Baoguo couldn't help but smile. Tian Wenjun quickly took a new towel and handed it to Chen Baoguo, saying, "Hurry up and let her wipe her feet."
Chen Dazhuang didn't dare to come in. He wanted to bully the two men but failed.
When Chen Baoguo squatted down to put on his shoes for He Damei, He Damei stopped him.
He Damei said: "I can do it myself."
There is a saying in her hometown that if the groom takes the initiative to put on the bride's shoes on the wedding day, it means that the groom will be stepped on by the bride for the rest of his life.
He Damei didn't want this to happen. She didn't want to step on him. She just wanted to praise him and treat him well.
