Oliver's arrival did not affect the progress of the preparations for the engagement, but provided some convenience, at least when you run to the county, you don't have to sit on three jumpers every time.

On the day of the twenty-fourth year of the lunar month, Chen Dahe arranged a task for her, sending the old man Tian to the county seat of Qianqian's house, Nacai, asking for names, and Najib, these three processes depend on the old man to run, and they can be completed in one day.

Sitting in the car to the school, the two bodyguards stayed in the car, Oliver followed Chen Dahe to the old principal's house, and the girl was still full of excitement.

"Your country's marriage is so formal, and there are so many ceremonies, it feels so grand. ”

"It's called a ceremony, and it's both a custom and a kind of respect," Chen Dahe explained with a smile, "and it gives people a sense of importance, just like you have to complete your wedding before God, which represents a commitment to trust with your life and soul." ”

Oliver followed, his eyes strange, not knowing what he was thinking.

Knocking on the door and entering the house, Old Man Tian was already dressed neatly and ready to set off at any time.

"Yo, I really can't see it, your old man is still radiant," Chen Dahe's eyes lit up, and his mouth was amazed, "This outfit can't be worn when worshipping heaven and earth, right?!"

Chen Dahe couldn't help but be surprised, the old principal was dressed very plainly on weekdays, although he was also clean and thoughtful, but the blue coarse cloth labor uniform had not changed for more than ten years, but it was different clothes inside and outside according to the season, but today it was a suit and leather shoes, the big cowhide shoes were shiny, and the outside was covered with a black woolen coat, and there was a blue twill tie inside, which looked very coquettish.

"Get out," the old man's face turned slightly red, "If it weren't for your kid, Lao Tzu would wear this to let Old Man Huang see the joke." ”

"What's the joke, can he have this dress, I think it's red-eyed," Grandma Guo held a gray woolen scarf in her hand, with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, she wrapped the scarf around her wife, took two steps back and looked carefully, "Well, it's good, this dress has been put on for more than 40 years, and it looks like new after being ironed." ”

Tsk, it's really the groom's official who wore it, Chen Dahe held back a smile, looking at the old man's embarrassment, forget it, it still doesn't stimulate him.

Turning around and pulling Oliver to the front, "Oliver, this is Grandpa Tian, this is Grandma Guo, they are all very close elders, well, just like my grandfather and grandmother." ”

Oliver's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed respectfully and greeted, "Hello grandpa, hello grandma!"

"Hello, hello," Grandma Guo saw this foreign girl just now, and smiled kindly, "Yo, you can still speak Chinese, what's your name?"

Oliver put his hands in front of his lower abdomen, smiled and replied, "Back to grandma, my name is Oliver Jones, I am a native of New York, USA, and I am a friend of Dahe. ”

Chen Dahe covered his eyes, feeling unable to watch, "Oh, I said that your Chinese will not be learned by watching TV dramas, right?"

Oliver turned his head blankly, "Is there a problem?"

"The little girl is very good, don't worry about this bastard boy," Old Man Tian stood up and shook his hand, "Let's go, let's leave now, go early and return early." ”

As he spoke, he walked out.

"Oh," Oliver was just about to follow, but found Chen Dahe sitting down, and couldn't help but be a little curious, "Aren't you going?"

"I won't go this time, and I won't go until tomorrow when the bride price will be given. ”

"Oh," Oliver blinked, strange custom, but didn't ask too much, and hurried to follow.

This time I just wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival here, but I didn't expect to be able to participate in the marriage, which is really interesting.

Go fast and come back quickly, the car will return to school at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Oliver will pull Chen Dahe to chirp non-stop as soon as he gets out of the car.

"I saw Sissi, she was so shy, she blushed when she spoke, and she smiled very happily, she wanted to keep me there to accompany her, but I didn't agree, I said that I would come with you tomorrow to give the bride price, from beginning to end, but I promised her, when you get married, she will be a bridesmaid, although grandpa said that there are no bridesmaids here, but it doesn't matter, I will have it, do you also use Chinese wedding when you get married? Is it the same as on television, wearing that long red dress and covering the bride's head with a red cloth? Where should the bridesmaids stand at that time?......

Oliver was suddenly distressed.

Chen Dahe accosted without saying a word, pulled the two old men home together, and finally checked the prepared bride price, and discussed tomorrow's process.

The next day, the whole family went out together, loaded all the bride price into the truck borrowed from the textile factory, and pulled the six big men of Dad's construction team, Chen Dahe and Dad also crowded into the truck compartment together, anyway, there was a carriage to block the wind, and they were not afraid of the cold.

Everyone else got into Oliver's car, and the two cars drove slowly to the county seat.

When they arrived at the compound of the county party committee, Chen Deshan gave an order, and each of the six people picked a pair of flat burdens, and the group walked to Xiqian's house.

And the Qian family has already been prepared, and set up a shed in the family yard for everyone to rest and eat, and his hut can't accommodate so many people.

Old man Tian is still dressed up yesterday, holding a red paper and singing the gift list, every time he sings, the person who carries the corresponding thing puts down the burden, which is considered a ceremony.

The old man Huang Yeqiu was also dressed in new clothes, singing and harmonizing loudly according to the rules of the elders, Qian Qian hid behind her parents with a red face, and glanced at Chen Dahe from time to time, the two looked at each other, and quickly retracted, like a little quail.

Other leaders and family members living in the family courtyard are also smiling and watching the excitement, if it was placed in January, there may still be some people gossiping, but now, the attitude has undergone some subtle changes, and there will be no opposition to this custom.

Well, it's not indescribable here, it's windy!

After the two old men finished performing, the families of the two sides began to greet each other, Zhang Yumei was also straightforward, she directly pulled her daughter and stuffed Qianqian's hand into Chen Dahe's hand, which was considered a handover.

Huang Yeqiu stared at him and couldn't look at it, this is the time for the recruitment, and it's not a personal welcome, what kind of person to hand over!

Old Man Tian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Aren't you just going to take a form, what are you really talking about, let's have a few drinks." ”

There are not many people in Sissi's family, counting the old man Huang, there are only four, and the neighbors next door or so help greet the guests, here Oliver and her two bodyguards have become the focus of attention, a group of people are chatting around her, the snacks and fruits in front of her are piled high, this girl is still happy to do this, and she uses half-baked Chinese to inquire about Sissi's gossip, not with wide eyes and exclaims.

The two families originally thought that they would go through a process, and then have a small meal and a small gathering, even if the ceremony was completed, but this time there were so many people, and the small gathering became a big gathering, Qian Weiguo simply moved out all the things prepared for the New Year, handed them over to the chef invited from the county party committee guest house, and organized five tables of hard dishes.

In the hustle and bustle, Qian Qian has been holding Chen Dahe's hand tightly, letting relatives and friends laugh and never separate, the little couple just watched the hustle and bustle disperse, leaving only a warmth and tranquility in their hearts.
