Chapter 408: Marrying three times, three lives and three worlds.

From the town to the village, there was a constant stream of people on the way to the bride's reception.

Besides the fact that she liked to join in the fun, it was probably because such a Chinese wedding was very rare.

How could it not be rare? Other people only paid five or six hundred yuan for a dowry to marry a daughter-in-law, but Lin Wanxia's wedding dress cost five or six hundred yuan.

And Xingxing and Xiaoqi threw candies along the way.

Lin Wanxia, ​​who was getting married for the third time, realized for the first time that a wedding could be so complicated.

In view of the fact that Lin Wanxia's family members were not coming, their wedding process simplified at least half of the etiquette, but there were still these.

After lifting the sedan chair to the door, they had to choose a parking position.

After choosing an auspicious time to get off the sedan chair, Lin Wanxia had to sit on the newly moved armchair. An unfamiliar woman took a comb and a mirror and gestured on her crown, calling it "combing her hair. "

She chanted as she combed her hair.

"Comb it once to the end, and the couple will love each other without worries."

"Comb it twice to the end, and the white hair and eyebrows will be together hand in hand." "

Comb it three times to the end, and the couple will be free of illness and worry."

"..."

"Comb it ten times to the end, and you will live together until you are old in this life and the next."

After combing her hair, firecrackers rang at the gate. Jiang Sinian came over and took Lin Wanxia's hand and walked inside.

Someone also tied a new shoelace around each of their necks.

It must be another custom.

After entering the house, there are customs such as changing shoes and eating dumplings.

In the evening, there is also a wedding night.

However, the wedding night requires unmarried young people, and it is not easy for Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia to find unmarried young people in the village at their age. It is

a bit difficult to make a scene with a younger person, and Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian's wedding room is not here, so it was just a simple scene and then it was dispersed.

The family of four went home.

Lin Wanxia was so tired that she barely cleaned up and fell asleep.

In a daze, she was wrapped in warmth.

Lin Wanxia changed to a more comfortable position and muttered, "Are the children asleep?"

"Well, they must be tired after getting up so early."

Lin Wanxia held Jiang Sinian's restless hand, "I'm too sleepy, let's go to bed first, okay?"

"No, today is our wedding night!"

Lin Wanxia sobered up a little and retorted, "There is only one wedding night! You've been married for the third time."

Even if the first time was fake, the second time was real.

Jiang Sinian kissed Lin Wanxia's lips and whispered in her ear, "Three marriages, three lives and three worlds. How can one wedding night be enough?"

Lin Wanxia: "..."

Because of this sentence that sounded like a love word and a vow, she compromised without any prospects. The days before

the *** New

Year were getting busier and busier.

She had to write couplets, steam buns, fry New Year's goods, etc.

Among all these, the only thing Lin Wanxia could do was write, although she was not very good at it.

The couplets were written in calligraphy, which she was not very good at.

But there were too few people in the village who could write, and most of them had to queue up.

Surprisingly, Jiang Sinian had a good handwriting.

"My eldest sister-in-law taught me." Jiang Sinian said.

Jiang's father happened to pass by, and when he heard Jiang Sinian's words, he looked up and looked in the northwest direction for a long time.

In the end, he said nothing.

On New Year's Eve, the third brother-in-law came to pick up the third sister.

Jiang's mother scolded her again.

The general meaning was that the third brother-in-law's family was worthless, and they would not send New Year's goods before the divorce.

According to the local customs, gifts should be sent to the in-laws' family during festivals.

But the third brother-in-law came empty-handed this time.

After scolding the third brother-in-law, Jiang's mother scolded the second brother-in-law, saying that he was a poor ghost.

The fourth sister-in-law quietly explained to Lin Wanxia: "The conditions at the third sister's home are better than those at the second sister's. The things sent by the second brother-in-law's family are the best they have, but Jiang's mother doesn't like them. She often treats the two sons-in-law differently.

But the second brother-in-law is a reliable person. The second sister had a serious illness once, and it cost thousands of yuan just for the treatment. The family was starving, and life was so difficult.

In the meantime, it was Xiaowu who secretly subsidized them for more than a year. Later, Jiang's mother found out and went to the second sister's home to ask for the money back. After Xiaowu knew about it, he stopped sending it. Every time he came back to visit relatives, he would secretly give the second brother-in-law some money."

Lin Wanxia nodded, and finally understood why Jiang Sinian was so poor even though his allowance was not small.

In order to entertain the children, Lin Wanxia bought a TV and placed it in Jiang's house.

What they bought was a 14-inch black-and-white TV.

Even this was a rare thing in the village.

Since they bought it, every evening when cartoons were shown, a bunch of children would come to their house, and sometimes many adults would come as well.

On New Year's Eve, the house was crowded with people of all ages, all watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Wanxia didn't want to squeeze in with the crowd, so she took her two children home first.

There was also one at home.

They didn't buy a color TV because there was no one in the county town, and they were about to leave here.

The New Year's atmosphere of the 1986 Spring Festival was extremely strong, and the sound of firecrackers continued throughout the entire New Year's Eve.

It reached its peak at midnight.

1986 was the year that truly arrived in the eyes of the Chinese people.

Even though that day was already February 8th.

Spring Festival is a time for eating, drinking and visiting relatives.

But Lin Wanxia is like a lucky cat.

It is popular here to give red envelopes to the bride in the first year of marriage.

Lin Wanxia went around and collected red envelopes.

It lasted until the sixth day of the first lunar month.

In fact, in rural areas, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the New Year.

But after the third day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival is basically over.

The Zuo family waited for another three days before coming to talk about the divorce.

This time, the Zuo family also invited their own elders to come and discuss the matter.

The meaning was very clear, the marriage must be divorced.

The third sister cried and made a fuss at the beginning because she was reluctant to divorce, but now she can't wait to divorce.

The fourth sister-in-law said that it was because Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia had such a grand wedding that made the third sister feel amorous again, and she also wanted to have a grand wedding.

Lin Wanxia: "..."

It's hard to imagine that the third sister, who is almost forty years old, can still be so naive!

The Jiang family actually had a plan. They had done all the struggles they could, and after trying to retain her once without success, they agreed to the divorce.

The third sister returned to the Jiang family with the few "family properties", and she didn't want either of the two daughters.

Lin Wanxia didn't want to get involved in these things, nor did she want her third sister to have the opportunity to do bad things under her name, so the family of four prepared to leave.

Of course, before leaving, Lin Wanxia had to first settle the schooling of Xiaoliu and the fourth sister-in-law's children.

Jiang's father made the final decision on this matter, so Lin Wanxia could only talk to Jiang's father first.

Jiang's father was unwilling: "Girls will get married sooner or later, what's the point of studying? It's better to go down and do some work early."

"Like Xiaoqi, who took the tuition you gave but dropped out of school and did odd jobs early?"

"What?" Jiang's father was shocked, "When did Xiaoqi drop out of school? How come I didn't know." "

Maybe no one dared to tell you?!" Lin Wanxia didn't want to expose Xiaoqi. If

she exposed Xiaoqi, she would definitely be beaten.

And Jiang Sinian had already beaten him.

However, hiding this kind of thing for him would not help him but harm him.

So when Lin Wanxia complained, she didn't feel too much psychological burden.
