Chapter 372: Greetings
It is understandable that the two elders want to earn face, but if they really want to do this at this time, it will be self-inflicted, and the dark clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed.
Chen Dahe patted his head and said helplessly, "In this way, let's all listen to the old principal, okay?"
He didn't believe that Old Man Tian would support them.
Chen Deshan was a little hesitant, looking at his wife, Huang Yuzhi also frowned, and finally nodded, "Yes, the old principal has always considered things thoroughly, and it is right to listen to him." β
"Okay, that's it. β
Chen Dahe picked up the wine glass and touched one with his father, and the family was happy, discussing the etiquette of marriage, and the meal was not finished until late at night.
Early the next morning, Chen Dahe was still sleeping, so he asked Chen Deshan to pull the quilt.
"I don't look at what time it is, I'm still sleeping, hurry up. β
Chen Dahe got dressed tremblingly, and looked at the alarm clock on the table with a speechless face, "It's only eight o'clock, why are you getting up so early?"
"Go find the old principal," Chen Deshan's eyes widened, "I still want to get married, hurry up." β
Chen Dahe drooped his head and followed his parents out of the door amid the laughter of the second sister and the younger sister.
When he found the old principal in the second, when the old man Tian heard their intentions, he naturally didn't say anything, and immediately smiled with a red face, "This matter is simple, do you want to do it according to the new rite or the ancient rite?"
The new gift is simple, that is, the matchmaker takes the man's parents to the woman's house, negotiates the conditions to send the bride price, has a lively meal, and then finds the units of both parties to open a letter of introduction and takes it to register.
The ancient rites are more troublesome, there are six rites for marrying, Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, invitation, and welcome, every step can not be less, very cumbersome, if it is a few years ago, it is needless to say, it must be the choice of a new ceremony, because there is no choice, the ancient rite is the object of the attack as a feudal remnant.
But in the end, it is a traditional custom that has been passed down for thousands of years, and there is a very deep folk foundation, since the year before the release, qualified families have begun to do it according to the routine of ancient rites, although it may not be finished, but it is also a breakthrough, at least now no one will care.
After listening to Mr. Tian's explanation, Chen Deshan did not hesitate to make a decision, "Of course choose the ancient ceremony, when Yuzhi got married, it was a new ceremony, and there was not even a decent wedding, and now that the child is married, he can't embarrass the old Huang family anymore." β
"That's okay," Old Man Tian naturally doesn't care, he is an old scholar and prefers more ancient rites, of course, this is under the condition of conditions, the Chen family does not know Chen Dahe's net worth, but he has heard of it, and he heard that he has bought a big house in Beijin City, of course, there is no need to save money for him.
Nacai is the meaning of proposing, this is easy to say, the old Qian family has long been willing to go, just go to the door to take a form, ask the name is the same, the eight characters of the two of them as early as a few years ago let the old god stick Wang Yun have passed, approved the four words made in heaven, and then perform in front of the old yellow head, by the way, even Naji has been given together, the highlight is Na Zheng, that is, to send a dowry, wait to write a list to Chen Deshan, with the Chen family's family to prepare it is not a matter of effort, the last is the invitation period, it is estimated that this kid has already discussed a good life with the Qian family, and there is nothing difficult to decideγ
After thinking about it, Old Man Tian was a little speechless, thinking that he could be coquettish this time, but he didn't expect it to be just a mascot, which is really overkill.
Immediately found a pen and paper, brushed and wrote, Chen Dahe looked at the side and pouted, good guy, really exquisite, everything is in pairs, this pair of things is estimated to cost four or five thousand, and ordinary people really can't afford to spend it.
"Twenty knives of bacon, twenty pieces of preserved fish, twenty pieces of preserved chicken, twenty pieces of cloth, twenty jars of old wine, and twenty pieces of jewelry," Chen Deshan finished reading the list written by the old man, and said with a slight frown, "Uncle Tian, is this enough, don't you need forty-eight legs in four turns?"
The four turns refer to bicycles, sewing machines, watches and electric fans, a radio when it rings, and the forty-eight legs are large cabinets, dressers, high cabinets, low cabinets, single sofas, three-person sofas, double beds, writing desks, chairs, dining tables and other complete sets of furniture, which are now the standard for young men and women in the city to get married.
Before Old Man Tian could speak, Huang Yuzhi said angrily, "You are stupid, now you are a marriage and not a marriage, what are you doing with these things, besides, where can you buy so many large items for a while." β
The Chen family is not bad for money, but you have to have a ticket to buy things, you have to prepare these things, don't even think about looking for tickets for a year and a half.
Old Man Tian pointed at Huang Yuzhi and laughed, "Xiao Chen, you don't know how to do it yet, there is a small ceremony in the family ceremony, and there is a big gift in the family ceremony, and the total number of one hundred and twenty items on this list is the number of big gifts for the next appointment, and it is not bad, and it is not bad." β
"That's," Chen Deshan was not embarrassed, and folded the list with a smile, "Her father is a talented man, and my father is a barefoot farmer, how can it be compared." β
"By the way, Uncle Lao Tian," Chen Deshan said again, "I want to do this in a big way, please invite everyone in the village to come over and be lively, do you think it's appropriate?"
"It's not suitable," Old Man Tian didn't think about vetoing it, "Sissi's father is a state cadre, and he is smearing his face in a big way, and so are you, if you make a few bucks, you want to cause trouble for your son, right?"
"Then I won't do it," Chen Deshan quickly shook his head in fright, no matter how important face is, it is not as important as his son's safety, and it would be bad if it was passed to the school and his son was punished.
Huang Yuzhi also kept silent with a dark face, she thought the same as Chen Deshan, she thought that the Chen family was also a number one in Ping'an Town, and no one should care about the scenery behind closed doors, but after listening to the old man's warning, she quickly put out this thought.
Chen Dahe was drinking the fish porridge boiled by Grandma Guo on the side, and when he saw his parents' faces, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, asking you to keep a low profile and not listen, you have to let the old man be scared to be satisfied, now settle down.
After setting the charter, hurry up and prepare, the New Year will be in a few days, it is best to settle this matter before the New Year, Chen Deshan got up and said goodbye, went to buy the things on the list, Huang Yuzhi and Chen Dahe naturally followed.
Sending the three of them out of the door, Grandma Guo held on to the door frame and sighed, "What a good child, it's still in the hands of the girl Qianqian, Xiaoru is not blessed." β
"Hmph, Lao Tzu came to the door to explain in person, they can't look down on this country boy What can he do," Old Man Tian snorted lightly, "Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know if he is not in Beijin, except that Xiao Yi goes to see him every one or two months, his wife wishes that Dahe would not come to the door, for fear that people will know that she has lost face, Xiaoru can have a chance, it is strange, but it's okay, Sissi, this girl is down-to-earth, she is dead set on Dahe, and she is also knowledgeable, and she is a virtuous helper." β
"Well," Grandma Guo nodded, "Sissi is also very good, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let them go, but Xiao Yi sent a telegram to want to go back here for the New Year, you really don't want him to come?"
"Don't come," Old Man Tian turned back to the house with his hands behind his back, "Lao Tzu is not dead, what is there to see, it is only right to do a good job and contribute to the country." β
Grandma Guo looked at his back and took a sip gently, "Dead old man, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, the family has less than a dozen yuan and still doesn't let you call." β
Tian Hongyan pretended not to hear it and slammed the door shut.
