53. Simple wedding
The wedding is not too cumbersome, in Tan Xiao's opinion, it is very simple, it can even be said to be sloppy, she didn't expect that the wedding that had been prepared for so many days in advance was in the small courtyard after the bride changed her voice to Ding's mother and called "Mom", one worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, the husband and wife worship each other and then sent into the cave room, no champagne, no cake, only a simple bouquet of flowers, and there is no lively stage outside the courtyard.
Today's Tan Xiao doesn't have yesterday's treatment, Ding's mother's face is almost smiling like a flower at this time, she only has her daughter-in-law in her eyes, and she can't take care of anything else. The newcomer entered the new house, and the onlookers "Hulala" also followed, Tan Xiao also wanted to see what other programs were below, not to mention going to the new house to see, even the door didn't go in, not that they were not allowed to enter, but that there were too many people to squeeze in. I only heard the commotion in the house, but I couldn't hear what anyone said.
"In addition to watching the excitement, the coaxing, that is, the management of the diners, are all women's, we only have a few respectable people to accompany the wine, you go to join in the excitement, if you want to see it, wait for a while and then go to see, the excitement of the night needs us to ......"
Ye Shu pulled Tan Xiao to the shed and sat down, this table was specially left by them, and the people present were still those from yesterday, but there were two more girls. Tan Xiao thought it was the girlfriend of those three people, but Ye Shuyi introduced it and found out that one of them was the sister of the fat man, and the other was Ding Feng's aunt's cousin, they were classmates in junior high school, studying in college outside, and now they happened to be at home during the summer vacation. They said that the other tables were too crowded, so they were called here by the fifth child, but Tan Xiao still saw from their eyes that they were deliberately called to accompany them.
Whatever the reason, everyone is kind, and it is more convenient for the girls to talk to each other, plus the two girls are very talkative and have a little understanding of new things, what the three of them said is also speculative.
There was chatting on the table, there was a lot of coaxing in the house, and the courtyard was very lively. At this time, the "knowing guest" took the microphone to the stage of the ceremony and began to speak at length, the voice was very loud, and it could be heard without a microphone, and now it was even more deafening, and the saliva was spraying everywhere, saying that it was nothing more than to open the table, so that the people sitting at the table were looking for a place to sit down, don't squeeze if you can't sit down for the first time, wait for a while to sit on the second leisure, and especially pointed out that the people in the village should pay attention to the quality, don't "hug the table", don't take out the plastic bag without serving, and let the mother's family look at the joke.
"Knowing the guests" ordered the banquet to open and then entered the house, took out a few cigarettes and distributed them one by one, the Ding family is also a person with a face in the village, and the cigarettes distributed are good, so they will be distributed only after the banquet is opened, no matter how many people at a table, it is a table with two boxes.
As soon as the cigarette was put down, before anyone present could remove it, a small hand had already picked up the cigarette, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child took out the cigarette that had been packed and handed it out to everyone, "Brother, smoke, smoke...... Beauty doesn't smoke. Regardless of whether everyone answered or not, they all asked, and then put the two unopened packets of cigarettes in their pockets and walked to the next table. The table was full of children, and the child directly took away the cigarettes, and even saved a polite sentence.
Tan Xiao thought at first that the kid was the person who helped the Ding family run errands, but when he saw him handing cigarettes and carrying cigarettes from table to table, he was confused by his actions, and now he knows why the person on the stage just now wanted to pay attention to the quality of the villagers. Tan Xiao didn't know what the "hug" was, but now he could at least guess that it was more uncivilized behavior.
"Who is that child?" Ye Shu pointed to the child and asked the fifth child.
Lao Wu threw the cigarette on the table to the ground, took out a pack from his pocket and lit one for each of the three brothers, before he said slowly: "Don't you know each other? Yes, you haven't seen anyone younger since you went to school, he is the old Geng family in the east, Geng Er's son, Xiao Lei." ”
Ye Shu took a puff of his cigarette and put it down, now he was a little uncomfortable smoking, deliberately under the influence of the snake venom.
"Geng Er'er?" Ye Shu thought for a while, as if there was such a person, and then asked: "Then what is this kid doing?
"Geng Er is a fart, he died the year before last, leaving an orphan and widow, this child is still a medicine jar...... This kid is waiting for someone else's family to deal with cigarettes and alcohol, if you don't believe it, you can ask the madman, his family has a few cases of beer after finishing his errands, and he is guaranteed to find it in Lao Geng's house. ”
"Still moving the whole box back?" Ye Shu grinned when he heard this, "Isn't Geng Er the three brothers?"
After Ye Shu finished asking, not only did the fifth elder laugh, but the fifth elder sister, his sister, the fat man, and the pillar all sneered.
"It's good that the brothers didn't divide their brother's house. ”
"Such an animal?" Ye Shu really didn't know much about the people in the east of the village, especially not a single age group, let alone any contact, and he didn't know who those brothers were.
The fifth child all smiled, which can be regarded as approving Ye Shu's evaluation.
As he was talking, there was a scolding sound not far away, and then I saw that Xiao Lei got up from the ground, and ran out of the yard with a rolling belt, and looked into the courtyard, a man in his thirties was still scolding there with anger on his face, obviously he kicked Xiao Lei down just now.
Lao Wu secretly pointed at the man, "Do you see it, that is Geng San'er, it is estimated that his nephew snatched his cigarette and robbed him of his eyes." ”
Looking at the person who was already flushed without drinking, Ye Shu shook his head, it was the first time he had seen the person who beat his nephew for a box of cigarettes, and he had nothing but contempt for this kind of person. Ye Shu's parents also suffered from the cold eyes of others when they were young, so they are particularly empathetic, fortunately, there are more people who are good to them than those who speak ill of them, and no one has ever treated them like this. And no matter how difficult it is for him, he has always maintained the bottom line of his own life, and he does not have the habit of taking advantage of others like the child who doesn't know where to learn, and even he has to deliberately improve his own quality, for fear of embarrassing his parents.
After this episode, the banquet officially opened, and the dishes were served like water, which was more sumptuous than yesterday's. At this time, Tan Xiao knew what "knowing the guest" meant by those words, and when the food came up, someone stood up, and put the food they liked in front of him, and some took out a plastic bag before they ate, and waited for a while to pack it away directly.
Seeing Tan Xiao's speech, Ye Shu smiled, "This time you see what is called 'hugging', right? This is much stronger than before, in the past, there were people who poured food into the bag, and there were people who grabbed it, but now it is much more civilized." It's okay, let's eat ours, no one dares to come to our table to pack it if we don't get off the table. ”
"Someone else is going to pack ours?" Tan Xiao was a little surprised and a little confused.
"You'll find out in a moment. Ye Shu smiled and touched the glass with those few and took a sip of wine.
The others also smiled, today is also a long experience for people from this big city, but unfortunately it is not very long.
After eating for a while, the groom Ding Feng and his bride Zhang Yanan came out, at this time the bride had already taken off her wedding dress and changed into a dress, followed by Ding Feng's cousin and best man, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, came out to toast relatives and friends, and there was a video of the whole filming. First toast in the courtyard, how many relatives of the groom sitting in the courtyard, there is nothing special, that is, each table picks a representative, the bride holds a cup, the groom pours wine, the guest takes the wine glass, sends a blessing, and after drinking, there is no wine.
The guests in the shed were not elders, and the two newlyweds did not toast, but just turned around and scattered a circle of cigarettes to fulfill the meaning of hospitality. In the end, they came to Ye Shu's table, this table is different from others, that can't be slack, wine must not only be respected, but also drunk, even if you drink less.
Ding Feng did not introduce him to these "fox friends and dog friends" first, but first introduced Tan Xiao to the bride, Tan Xiao's car gave him a lot of face, he drove the bride back is very popular, not only happy, the bride is also happy, after all, this kind of opportunity to show his face is only once, and the car is not something that can be rented casually, and the two are very grateful. After gratitude, it is inevitable to be hit by those "bad friends", everyone has to toast alone, and they also have to accompany the wine, one glass is not enough, at least three glasses per person. Everyone teased the newcomer for a while, because they had to send off the guests later, so they didn't make too much of it.
It was dark, and it was the time when the lights were first lit up in the city, and the village was already quiet, except for the Ding family, of course. The lights inside and outside the house were brilliant, and the family of four sat in the living room talking with their relatives who had not yet left, while Ye Shu's friends of the groom came uninvited when it was dark.
Tan Xiao thought that the "haunted cave house" in the countryside would be as dirty as it was said on the Internet, but when he saw it, he realized that it was not the case, there were local customs in various places, but some games were added, and whether the game was dirty or vulgar depended entirely on the quality of the participants.
Ye Shu and these little ones each mentioned a game for the newcomers to complete. The pillar allows the two newlyweds to play "licking chopsticks", inserting a chopstick into a bottle of beer, due to buoyancy, the chopsticks will be exposed a few centimeters, allowing the bride and groom to lick the chopsticks together, harmonious and not vulgar, just for entertainment.
The fat man asked them to play "toothpick", that is, eighteen toothpicks were inserted into an apple, and the apples full of toothpicks were hung around the groom's neck with a red rope, hanging on the groom's stomach, and the groom exposed his belly, so that the bride could use his mouth to pull out the toothpick, and the bride's mouth was not allowed to be pricked, and the groom's stomach would be pierced with improper force.
Ye Shu is worse than the two of them, let them play "push-ups", the bride lies flat on the kang, puts a balloon filled with water on the abdomen, and the groom does push-ups above the bride, asking for fifty, if you don't do it well, you will burst the balloon, and you will be punished if you can't finish it. If you let the fat man do this game, he is looking for guilt, but Ding Feng is different, he is used to doing farm work, he is full of tendon meat, and he sits down with fifty push-ups and his face does not change.
Among several people, the top five in terms of bad words, in order to coax, he deliberately brought props from home - pepper noodles, pepper noodles poured on the paper and put on the table, the bride and groom sat at the table, the mouth and nose were level with the paper, let them look at each other for a minute, and someone in the middle would spray the peppercorn noodles on each other's faces or someone would run first to lose, and they would be punished if they lost. As a result, the bride didn't hold back for twenty seconds before twisting her head to the side and sneezing several times in a row.
As for the punishment, it was a bit excessive, and the fifth child let the two of them get into the bed and throw out twenty pieces of clothing. This joke is a bit big, how can there be so many clothes in the summer, the elders and a few girls scolded the old five and said "shameless" and went out directly, only a few juniors were still coaxed, but there were always people at the door who glanced in.
Ding Feng pointed to the fifth child and shouted, "You kid wait for me, wait for you to get married, see how I toss you." ”
Intimidation is intimidation, and it has no other effect than to make his friends laugh even more. Ding Feng knew that he couldn't hide, so he covered himself and the bride with the big quilt, stretched out a hand from the quilt for a long time, and threw out a sock.
"A ......"
"Two ......"
"Three ......"
The inside of the quilt is checked, and the outside is also checked, but the sound outside is full of laughter, and the voice inside the bed is accompanied by shame and anger.
When the twelfth piece was thrown, it was already the groom's private belongings, and the people outside laughed and shouted in unison: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, you can do it and cherish it." ”
Everyone laughed and walked out of the new house, and closed the doors tightly. At the same time, tell everyone outside the door to rest early, and the inside is already resting. The people outside saw that they didn't make anything out of the ordinary, so they laughed and scolded and left.
The task was completed, everyone laughed and left, and the fat man and they found a place to sing and drink at night, and since the madman wanted a spring night, the rest of the people had to party all night. Several young people raised their hands in agreement, but Ye Shu didn't go, he found that his physique had become very poor now, and he couldn't stay up late. He went home under the pretext that he was going to "visit" his parents tomorrow, and he went back, and of course Tan Xiao went back with him.
