After coming down from the ancient city, Jiang Shiyue and his group of four first had a donkey meat banquet, and then packed up roast chicken, fruit wine and fruit to take back to the commune.
Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian are a pair of bickering lovers, quarreling all the way.
Yangyang picked out a few books in the county bookstore. After returning, he sat on his bed and started his isolation mode as usual.
Jiang Shiyue was bored, so she asked Lu Zheng and Li Chuntian to play cards and Landlord.
The loser will be given a note or hit on the head.
The one who lost the most was Li Chuntian.
Lu Zheng appears to be a gentle gentleman, modest and unassuming, but behind his background lies a man with a deep scheming mind and a knack for calculating cards.
Jiang Shiyue is even more cunning, and Lu Zheng can't get the upper hand at her hands.
Only Li Chuntian is a simple girl except that she is devoted to medical skills. She is clean, pure and simple.
"You won big." Jiang Shiyue said meaningfully.
Lu Zheng was slightly startled, and subconsciously followed Jiang Shiyue's gaze to look at Li Chuntian, curling his lips in disgust, "Big loss!"
As a bystander, Jiang Shiyue knew very well what Lu Zheng's eyes meant when he looked at Li Chuntian, and she smiled faintly without saying anything.
Words can be deceiving, but eyes often cannot.
Jiang Shiyue thought she would not be able to sleep because she was getting married tomorrow.
As a result, after taking a shower, he lay down on the bed and lost consciousness soon after.
The last thought is what is Chen Shanhe doing?
**
Chen Shanhe was not as lucky as Jiang Shiyue. He really couldn't sleep all night and had no chance to sleep even if he wanted to.
Not to mention the constant comings and goings of relatives and helpers who were in and out in the middle of the night, just the childhood friends who came to "congratulate" him were enough to give him a headache.
If it weren't for the fact that he was getting married tomorrow, his childhood playmates would have tortured him to death.
A table of people ate, drank, chatted and played cards, and it was already past three in the morning when they left.
Chen Shanhe wiped his face, went back to the bridal chamber, changed into his wedding clothes, and waited to be picked up by the bride.
Around four o'clock, the house began to become lively again.
Before the roosters crow or the dogs bark, the sound of suona begins.
Each of Wu Xiu'e and the others had a small red silk flower pinned on their front to indicate their identity, and they had joyful smiles on their faces.
Relatives from nearby also began to visit one after another.
At around five o'clock, Chen Shanhe followed the manager to the commune to welcome the bride.
The horses and carts all belonged to the production team. There was also an extra white horse with a large red silk flower on its head next to the lead cart.
Originally, the team leader meant that Chen Shanhe's friend had saved so many children in the village, and as a token of gratitude, the production team paid for the gas so that he could use a tractor to pick up the bride.
There are only a few tractors in the entire commune, and using them to pick up the bride is a great way to show off.
Chen Shanhe rejected the captain's kindness. Jiang Shiyue would definitely not like the pomp brought by a tractor. He felt that Jiang Shiyue would prefer to return to nature.
So he said that according to the old custom of the production team, we could use the ox-drawn cart. If possible, he would like to borrow the white horse of the production team.
Of course the captain would not object.
There are also some requirements for the vehicles used to pick up the bride. The number of vehicles should be an even number like six or eight, and it should be an even number that is relatively auspicious.
Most families have six cars, but the team leader specially gave Chen Shanhe two more cars.
There were two leading vehicles, a mule cart and a horse cart.
An arched shed was built on the car with bamboo mats, and the two ends were covered with red curtains.
According to the rules, Chen Shanhe had to take the first mule-drawn cart, and when she came back to pick up Jiang Shiyue, she would take the second horse-drawn carriage.
The other six were all ox carts, and each ox also had a big red silk flower tied on its head.
The cart was just an ordinary flatbed cart, usually used to transport crops, but now it was covered with bedding for people to sit on.
Under normal circumstances, an empty car will be driven to the woman's house to pick up her uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law.
There were exactly four pairs of people and four ox carts.
Jiang Shiyue's home was far away, and the six empty ox carts following behind were just a formality.
Chen Shanhe looked at the tall white horse, then at his new clothes that were too tight for him. After hesitating for a moment, he went back to his room and changed back into his military uniform. He hung all the medals and honors he had won over the years on the front of his uniform, put a red flower on his chest, and jumped onto the white horse.
The seventh uncle grabbed the reins and refused to let Chen Shanhe go, scolding him: "Why are you trying to be cool when it's such a big deal to get married? I asked you to ride in a carriage for safety. The most important thing on your wedding day is that everything goes smoothly and safely."
How dangerous is horse riding?!
The relatives, friends and neighbors who were watching also echoed it.
"Shanhe, marriage is only once in a lifetime, don't mess around!"
"Our horses are not meant for people to ride. They're not that docile! Shanhe, get down quickly."
"You're riding a horse with eight chariots, so that's nine, right? Nine is an odd number and unlucky."
Chen Shanhe accurately locked onto the person who said this and said with a smile, "Uncle San, isn't nine auspicious? Long, long ...
The Seventh Uncle refused to let go. "Don't tell me that! The way we travel, the time we pick up the bride, and the time we start the banquet are all based on the auspicious times calculated from your horoscopes. How can you change them just like that?"
"Then how about this, Uncle Seventh, let's each take a step back. Can you give me another horse so that we can have a perfect match?" Chen Shanhe suggested.
Seventh uncle wanted to say no.
Chen Dingguo advised from the side: "Seventh Uncle, please agree to him. This kid is very stubborn! Don't let him turn around and run away on his own, it will cause more trouble."
My seventh uncle had no choice but to send someone to the barn to bring back a brown horse, put a saddle on it, and tie it to the second carriage to go along.
The wedding procession then marched towards the commune in a grand manner.
It is about three kilometers from Houan Production Team to the hotel, which usually takes about half an hour, but this time it probably took an hour.
They stopped and walked along the way, and at every crossroads they would beat drums and gongs, set off firecrackers, and throw some money to pray for good luck.
It means to bribe the evil spirits that are blocking the road, so that the bride and groom can have a smooth journey.
