Chapter 146 Sister's Marriage 4
"No, I just don't know how I can deserve such love from my sister. Sister, no matter whether you recognize your relatives in the future or not, you are still my sister." Han Guihua said with red eyes.
"It turns out that my sister didn't treat me as her real sister before." Yi Ke said jokingly.
"Of course I don't. I have always treated you as my own sister." Han Guihua explained anxiously.
The aunt interrupted, "Guihua, Yike, your uncle and I are very pleased to see that you two sisters have such a good relationship. I didn't expect that Yike, who had suffered for more than ten years, would marry a good man. Good people are finally rewarded."
"Aunt, don't worry, we sisters will live a happy life in the future." Sisters Yike and Han Guihua said in unison.
"Oh, you two are twins, you have such a tacit understanding. Your cousin Xin'er will be sad when she comes to visit you in the future. She is your twin, but you two are even more tacitly connected than twins." Liu Baoer joked.
Zhong Tongxin said with a smile: "Of course not. As soon as she heard that she had a twin sister, she kept clamoring to come and see her sister."
"Now that we've seen the dowry, would you like to try on the bridal dress for us? And put on that set of jewelry so we can feast our eyes on it first." Yi Ke urged.
Han Guihua said in a low voice, embarrassed, "Let's just forget it, shall we?"
"No, how can we give up? Put it on, let us feast our eyes on it first." Liu Baoer happily pushed Han Guihua to change into the wedding dress.
Zhong Tongxin also said, "Yes, try it on and see if it doesn't fit. You can alter it if there's anything that doesn't fit. It won't be easy to alter it tomorrow."
The aunt-in-law also smiled as she watched everyone let Han Guihua wear her wedding dress.
The wedding dress is made of fabric that one can choose personally, and the pattern is drawn by a tailor. The upper body is a golden red Dacron long-sleeved top with a pleated petal-shaped collar, which is practical and beautiful. The cuffs are also pleated petal-shaped, and the cuffs echo the collar, making the clothes more beautiful. The waist of the clothes is slightly narrowed, which can show off the slim waist, and it reveals calm elegance and confidence when worn. The pants are black straight-leg pants and on the feet are a pair of red leather shoes.
When Han Guihua came out in her wedding dress, everyone's breath was held in their chest. She was completely different from before.
“It’s so beautiful!”
“It’s so beautiful!”
"It's like a different person. It's so beautiful."
"Sister, put on the jewelry and see."
"Yes, put it on quickly."
"No, just put it away and don't wear it."
"That's right. It's not appropriate to wear those things now. It's best to hide them and not put them in your dowry tomorrow. It would be bad if someone accidentally found them."
"Then sister, please keep it for me first and give it to me later."
"Okay. But I'm still beautiful like this. I promise the groom won't be able to take his eyes off me tomorrow. Hahahaha!"
"The bride is so beautiful, does the groom have a wedding suit? Don't let the difference be too big and it won't look good."
"Don't worry, the wedding dresses are made by the same master, so they won't be any different."
In the evening, according to the old custom, a singing party is held in the main hall, mainly for relatives and friends to come and sing farewell to the bride, and also to distribute wedding candies. The bride also has to sing a song to bid farewell to her parents, commonly known as "crying for marriage". Since she was not getting married in Hanjiagou Village and was unfamiliar with the place, the "crying wedding" process was skipped.
…
Today is the bride's wedding day. Early in the morning, the groom brought a group of people to the courtyard. The men who came to help carry the dowry had breakfast at the groom's house before coming. When they came, the woman's dowry had been placed in the courtyard. No matter whether it was a box, a cabinet, or a shoulder pole, all the items were tied with red ropes.
The groom was wearing a brand new wedding suit today, a burgundy suit (quite similar to a Zhongshan suit), a pair of black leather shoes, and his hair was shiny enough to be seen from a distance.
There was no such thing as giving out red envelopes in that era. When the time came, the bride bid farewell to her parents in the main hall, and her uncle and aunt accepted the farewell ceremony on behalf of Han Guihua's parents. Both my uncle and aunt had tears in their eyes, but they tried hard to hold them back.
After bidding farewell to their parents, the introducer led the way, and Ziyi and Yike accompanied them to the gate. The boy who escorts the bride carries the new shoes that the bride is going to wear and places them at the door of the main hall, and then her brother and sister-in-law help her change her shoes.
The rule for changing shoes is that one foot stands inside the threshold, and after taking off the old shoe on the other foot, the bride's escort boy helps the bride put on the shoe, and tells her not to touch the threshold when stepping out, otherwise it will be unlucky. Once the two old shoes are taken off, they cannot be taken out of the house, which means that the wealth and fortune of the mother's family are left to her.
Han Guihua's brother is still undergoing labor reform and cannot come to help her change her shoes, so today Yike and Ziyi will represent the bride's brother and sister-in-law.
Yike supported his sister Han Guihua, and Han Guihua put on new red leather shoes with the help of her cousin. The groom had been waiting at the gate. When he saw the bride, who was as beautiful as a fairy and wearing the same red wedding dress as him, he was so happy that he almost lost his mind. It was only after a group of brothers reminded me that I came back to my senses.
As soon as the bride changed her shoe on one foot, he hurriedly reached out to support her. When the bride changed her shoes and walked out of the door, the groom took the bride's hand and walked towards the bicycle.
There were many people watching the fun outside the gate. The neighbors had never known that this family was going to marry off their daughter until today when they saw so many people coming and the dowry being carried out of the door. Then they suddenly realized: No wonder this family had been busy these days; it turned out that they were marrying off their daughter.
"Look at the bride. The dress is so beautiful. Why haven't I seen it in a department store?"
"The groom's suit is also very nice. It would definitely look good on my man. But where did you buy it?"
"It's a lot of dowry. Look at the clothes in the winnowing basket on the basket. My God, I have never seen so many clothes in a dowry."
"Don't you see, there are only two quilts."
"Yes, it's really a lot of dowry. The girl's family can't be stupid. Look at those two cabinets. It would be great if they were kept at home to store food. But they were used as dowry. What a waste."
"This woman's family may not have a son, so she will have to live with her son-in-law in her old age. In order to please her son-in-law, she may have emptied out all her savings."
…
The people watching the fun were talking about it in a flurry, and the villagers who were brought by the groom to carry the dowry were also shocked by the large amount of dowry. It was Tang Jianguo, Wang Feng and other brothers who took the lead in moving the dowry. Only then did the villagers who came to help come to their senses and quickly help lift the large dowry onto the ox cart.
Ma Youcai not only rode a bicycle to pick up the bride today, but also borrowed the village's ox cart. Although the cow was his own, the wooden cart was made by the villagers, so he still gave the production team leader a heads-up.
