Prohibition of marriage agreement (novel) Zhang Baotong 2017.1.17

I shouldn't have brought Lingling back to my house last summer, let alone let her be a bridesmaid for my cousin. The experience of attending my cousin's wedding at our house www.biquge.info made her extremely afraid of getting married. Therefore, when I proposed to take her home for the wedding, she showed me the "No Marriage Agreement", which proposed six major items with a total of 12 sub-agreements, such as not allowing the opposite sex to physically collide with the bride and bridesmaids, not allowing the bride and bridesmaids to do degrading things, and not allowing the bride and bridesmaids to drink alcohol. My family is in a remote rural area in western Hunan Province, where there is a custom of marriage for three days, where there is no distinction between men and women, and there is no distinction between old and young. If the content requirements of the "Prohibition of Marriage Agreement" put forward by Lingling are followed, almost every one of them will be challenged to a lesser or lesser degree.

My earliest impression of a wedding was when I was six years old, and I was washing vegetables in the pond in front of my house, when about twenty young men from a neighboring village came in turn, and they took turns holding a bride in a wedding dress, not only talking and laughing, but also kissing her from time to time. When they came to the grass by the pond, they lifted the bride up and threw it on the grass, and then they rushed up and put their hands into the bride's trousers and touched the bride's breasts and lower body, and asked the bride what this is, what is that. Instead of being angry, the bride laughed playfully. Later, when I got older, I participated in some weddings, and I saw some scenes of troubled marriages, and I realized that there are many tricks in marriages, some old-fashioned, some new, all kinds of things, endless.

The old-fashioned method involves the bride lying on her back, with the groom holding his hands on either side of the bride's head and doing push-ups facing each other to do a kiss. There is also a banana hanging under the groom's belt buckle for the bride to eat, and asking her if it tastes good while eating. Or put a raw egg in the bride's left sleeve, and then have the groom push it through the garment, around the chest, through the right sleeve, then into the right trouser leg, and then through the left trouser leg. If you want to say something new, there are a lot, such as letting the groom and the bride sit face to face on the spittoon, each holding a marriage certificate, and reciting aloud the slogan of the iron man Wang Jinxi: big work, fast up, diligent wells, and more oil. There is also a place where the bride and groom sit opposite each other, and let the bride exercise her buttocks and roll out the plasticine of the groom's part with a can. Or let the bride take something in her left hand and put it through the groom's left trouser tube and her right hand into the right trouser leg and ask her to give her what she has in her left hand to her right hand.

In fact, these are relatively civilized, and they are called "pure and vegetarian programs", if they come to meat, it will be a little unbearable. A few years ago, I attended a relative's wedding, and as soon as the bride got out of the wedding car, she was thrown into the air by several groomsmen who greeted her in the frolic, but when she fell, she was stunned and didn't catch it, and the bride hit the back of her head on the spot and fell unconscious. Another time, I went to attend a classmate's ceremony, and the groom was forced to play a marriage spoof in reverse and wearing women's underwear. I also saw in a marriage trouble that the bride had to take off her clothes, and when she took off her clothes, she forced the bride to take off the bra and panties that were left. The bride was forced to be helpless, so she covered herself with a quilt and took herself naked. However, someone lifted the quilt that the bride had put on her body, leaving the bride naked and exposed to the public.

Of course, what made me most angry was taking Lingling to my cousin's wedding last year. Lingling served as a bridesmaid for her cousin. She was a little apprehensive when she heard about our wedding customs, but I told her it was okay and they wouldn't offend the bridesmaids. And she was relieved to see that there were four or five other girls accompanying the bride. However, seven or eight groomsmen came at the time of the kiss. They went into the house and came looking for Himejo. After looking for a while and not finding it, a young man went directly to lift Lingling's skirt and said to Lingling if he hid the spirit in your pants. Lingling shouted, stepped back and sat down on the bed. But the young man didn't give up, so he went to touch Lingling's lower body with his hand, and said to the other boys, you all go and touch the bridesmaids' bodies, they must have hidden their shoes in their skirts. Eventually, it was I who got angry right away, and they began to relent.

Originally, the noisy marriage, also known as the haunting room, was to create a joyful atmosphere for the wedding through lively and happy celebrations, so as to promote the momentum of the family and show the prosperity of the family. However, in many places, the haunted room has evolved into a "haunting marriage" that simply teases and insults the newlyweds, and in the minds of everyone, no matter how excessive the "haunted room" is, the bride and groom must not turn their faces, otherwise they will offend many guests and turn the happy event into an annoying drama. In some places, because of the excessive trouble, it will bring great unhappiness to the newlyweds and their relatives and friends, and even cause tragedy.

No, we haven't had a wedding yet, and we're in trouble. Although I was born in the countryside of Xiangxi, I have been living in the city for nearly 10 years since I came to Xi'an to go to university and now teach at the university. It has almost completely adapted to life in the city. I have told my parents more than once that we want to travel and get married in Xi'an, but my parents firmly refuse, because I am the only university student in our village and am regarded as a golden phoenix. And my parents only have one son, me, so I have long said that I will have a big event when we get married, strengthen the family, and show the style. My parents raised me and raised me to be a college student, and I don't know how many layers of skin I have shed in my life, and I still have a body of illness, so I can't bear to go against their wishes.

So, I called them about the "Agreement on the Prohibition of Marriage" that Lingling proposed to me, and said that if she refused to agree to this agreement, Lingling would not agree to go home and get married. As soon as my parents heard that Lingling had proposed this agreement, they immediately became furious, saying that everyone else had come over like this, so why couldn't she be like this? I told my parents that I didn't mean that, but Lingling still loved me very much. However, the parents said, "Why don't you obey you?" If she looks down on our family, why should she fall in love with our son? also said that such a girl is arrogant, but I am afraid that I will not be able to control her after marriage, but I will let her be the housekeeper. In fact, I think it doesn't matter who is in charge of the family after marriage? As long as the two of them really love each other, everything is OK. However, no matter how I explained it, my parents still refused to accept the "No Marriage Agreement".

I had no choice but to call Lingling to discuss again. Lingling is a graduate student in Foreign Literature in the Faculty of Liberal Arts at our school. Not only are they beautiful and temperamental, but their parents are also cadres in the city. The conditions are very good in all aspects. Last year, I brought her back to my hometown, and my family and friends were all envious and praised. The parents were also so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, but the fly in the ointment was that her mother thought she was too squeamish, too particular and too self-righteous. He also said that if such a woman is not strictly disciplined after marriage, she will not be able to control the ground after she is allowed to do so. Because we have a saying here, if a man can't control a woman, a woman will let the man be a turtle with a shrunken head. However, I just listened to my mother's words, laughed it off, and didn't take it to heart. Because we don't live here after we get married.

Lingling came to my dorm room after school, and I just made her favorite fried shrimp with bitter gourd and braised eggplant. As we ate, we talked about our parents. When I said that my parents still wanted us to go back to our hometown and get married, and the family was ready for the wedding. Hearing this, Lingling immediately asked my parents what their attitude was to the "Marriage Prohibition Agreement". I said that my parents had said that they were not very happy with the agreement because it would upset relatives, friends, and villagers. But Lingling said that they were afraid that the villagers would be unhappy, so they didn't care if I was happy or not? I patiently said, is it possible for both sides to make some compromises and concessions, and I said hello in advance on our side, saying that you are from the city and are not suitable for the marriage customs of the countryside, and you should also let my parents have a ladder to step down. Lingling shook her head and said, "What do you say hello?" You don't know that those people in your hometown are like wolves and tigers, and when they see other people's brides and bridesmaids, they will die, and they can't wait to pounce on you and bite you. Do you think they're going to listen to you? Anyway, I have a word in advance, and if you don't sign this agreement, I won't marry you. So saying, he ate half of his meal, and then got up and left.

I immediately became a little irritable, thinking, who are you scared if you don't get married? I'm afraid I'm scared. So, I called my parents and said that I would not get married. Parents ask why. I told Lingling that we didn't agree with her agreement, and that she didn't marry me. The parents sighed and said that they had greeted their relatives and friends here, and almost all of them knew that you were getting married, so why did she say that if you didn't get married, she wouldn't get married. I'm afraid this thing is just a joke. After a short discussion, my parents said to me, or else, they told Lingling that we agreed, and what should we do when we get married. By the time she knows what happened, we'll have finished the marriage. At that time, the raw rice was made into cooked rice, and she just had no need to use it if she had any opinions.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately reprimanded them, saying that you are just taking this matter as a child's play, and you have to sign it if you don't know how to agree, and if you sign it, you have to abide by it, and if you violate it, you will be held legally responsible. Moreover, if Lingling knew that we were deliberately cheating on her, she was afraid that she would divorce me, and if she did, then I might as well not get married. My parents listened to me and were at a loss for a long time, but kept asking me what to do. I said, there is no good way, otherwise, let us travel to get married, we go out for a trip, and then go back to our hometown to have a banquet, so that the wedding can be saved, and there will be no such thing as a hole room.

However, my parents immediately became irritable and said no, how simple and sloppy the marriage event was, so that others thought that our family could not afford a wedding, and let others underestimate our family. I also got irritable, saying that you are unwilling to compromise here, and Lingling is unwilling to give in over there, do you want to force me to death?

For several days, I didn't call Lingling, and I didn't call her when the unit organized an outing. Moreover, when she called me, I deliberately did not answer. I think Lingling is good at everything, but she is a little arrogant, a little bit of the self-righteous superiority of a city girl. However, although I was born in the countryside, I am no worse than her. She's a graduate student, and I'm a PhD student. She's a student at school, and I'm still a teacher at school. What kind of is she.
