Zhou Peng went home and saw his uncle Zhou Shitong drinking tea with his father at home, and then chatted with his uncle.

After a while, Zhou Shitong said that he wanted to go to the oil mill to have a look and left.

There was only a family of three left in the family, and then Zhou Peng's mother told Zhou Peng that she had invited Zhou Peng's third brother-in-law, Zhang Anping, and Sun Jialin, a professional matchmaker in the village, to go to Luzhong tomorrow.

For these customs in the countryside, Zhou Peng likes them in his heart and thinks it is fun.

Let's just say that this is a marriage, the premise must be that the man and woman have talked about the same level, and then the parents of both parties are more satisfied, and then find two matchmakers who can stand it, and take the bride price prepared by the man to the woman's house to say that they are hired. As for the woman, find two men and one woman, and add her daughter to make up two men and two women, and come to the man's house to drink a wedding wine, and this marriage ceremony is completed.

After sending off his uncle and returning to the house, Zhou Peng's mother hurriedly asked her husband, "What did the eldest brother do just now?"

Zhou Peng saw a stack of money on the table, and then heard his father say: "The eldest brother sent 5,000 yuan, saying that it was for Pengzi's marriage." ”

When Zhou Peng heard this, he hurriedly said: "We have money now, so we don't need to borrow money." ”

Zhou Shihong said with a rare face: "I said the same too, but your uncle doesn't believe it, forget it, let's talk about it later." ”

In the evening, Zhang Anping and Sun Jialin, two matchmakers, were invited to Zhou Shihong's house and invited the matchmaker to dinner.

Zhou Peng wants to get married, which is earth-shattering news in Zhoujialing Village, a medium-sized village.

Everyone knows that Zhou Peng is the first college student in the entire Zhou family to be admitted, and now he is only in his freshman year, and then he has not graduated from college, so he is looking for a daughter-in-law.

There is something to be said in the village.

It is said that Zhou Peng's parents are stupid, and they actually let their children marry Zhou Peng, doesn't that delay Zhou Peng's studies.

It is also said that Zhou Peng was deceived, how old is this, isn't it a joke.

Some people also say that this incident is not true at all, and it is all rumored by others.

However, Aunt Fat, Aunt Mazi and Zhou Yuanli's wife all saw it, and Zhou Zhou Peng went home on Friday.

The ups and downs in the village, but Zhou Peng didn't care, everyone talked about anything, they talked about it if they wanted, as long as they didn't make themselves angry, everyone was happy.

Sun Jialin is a specialist in dispensing rat poison in the village, and he sells rat medicine in four episodes, and then works part-time, that is, a matchmaker.

In 2003, Sun Jialin worked part-time as a matchmaker, and after he succeeded, the fee was 200 yuan.

Zhou Peng's third brother-in-law, Zhang Anping, is an uncle of Zhou Peng's own family, which is not very far away, and he will be a matchmaker on his trip tomorrow.

A matchmaker, a matchmaker, this matter depends on their mouths.

Sun Jialin is a professional, and the village likes to talk to him as a matchmaker.

At dinner in the evening, Zhou Shihong called his eldest brother and another brother of his family named Zhou Shicai over and accompanied Sun Jialin and Zhang Anping to drink. At this banquet, Zhou Shihong also agreed with Sun Jialin, and what he talked about with the woman was 6,606. To be honest, this bride price Zhou Peng praised with both hands, auspicious.

Early in the morning of May 2, before dawn, Sun Jialin and Zhang Anping came to Zhou Peng's house, and then this time, almost all the men and women in the upper and lower courtyards of the Zhou family, as long as they were of the same generation as Zhou Shihong, came.

Zhou Peng is just going to college, so he is married, this is lively, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must come over to make up for it.

Early in the morning, the Zhou family and Zhou Shihong were close to each other, and those women who usually had a good relationship came over to help, chopping stuffing, making dumplings and so on.

At half past six in the morning, it was just dawn, and then Sun Jialin, Zhang Anping, Zhou Peng, and Qiu Liang, who drove a black-faced taxi in the village, all had dinner, and then Zhou Shihong handed over the two burdens he had prepared, as well as 6,660 yuan, to Sun Jialin, and then Zhou Peng and they took everyone on the road.

Because Sun Jialin and none of them had been to Meng Chaoyuan's house, they could only lead the way by Zhou Peng himself.

If Sun Jialin and the others knew where Meng Chaoyuan's family lived, then Zhou Peng didn't have to go this time.

When they arrived at Meng Chaoyuan's house, Qiu Liang was waiting in the car, while Zhou Peng chatted with Meng Chaoyuan, and Sun Jialin and Zhang Anping went to explain to Meng Chaoyuan's parents with two burdens.

At this time, Meng Chaoyuan's family, the accompanying guests of two men and one woman, and the car that went to Zhou Peng's house this time were also ready.

At this time in 2003, the number of private cars in the village was still very small, and then almost every village would have three or four black noodles that specialized in soliciting customers.

It is said that there is no way to do this situation, and the taxis in the city do not come to the countryside, and then there is a demand for taxis in the countryside, and under this demand, the black-faced ones have also appeared.

If it is detected, this kind of black-faced person will generally be fined seven or eight thousand yuan, and the car will be confiscated.

Of course, the black-faced ones are all for the villagers, and there is generally no deep hatred, and no one will complain. After all, the black face was seized, and it was inconvenient for the villagers.

Sun Jialin finished talking at Meng Chaoyuan's house, and then took everyone back.

At this time, Zhou Peng and Meng Chaoyuan couldn't sit in the same car, in that case, when they arrived at Zhou Peng's house, they would be laughed at by those aunts and sisters-in-law who had a lot of things.

There are many rules in the village, and of course, the customs vary greatly from place to place, which is understandable.

But some people say that these traditions are not right, it seems very strange, everyone has sat down for hundreds of thousands of years, and then some people say that it can't be like this, this is how the old feudalism is, and people like this don't tell others how to do it?

How, exactly?

Just do this, it's good, the old traditions of the original, very ceremonial, after the official business, he is lively.

Isn't that enough?

The person who came to hire was in a car, followed by Meng Chaoyuan and his family, and the two families couldn't talk along the way, and then came to Zhou Peng's house.

When they arrived at Zhou Peng's house, there were already many people coming and going in their house.

This time, Zhou Shihong and Zhou Shitong shouted, all six families in the upper courtyard came, and the other seven families in the lower courtyard in addition to the two of them also came.

What are you doing here?

I just want to see what the girlfriend Zhou Peng talks about looks like.

Then everyone looked at it, hey, if you want to be tall and tall, you want to have good looks, they all gave a thumbs up, and took Zhou Peng's mother's hand and praised her for being blessed.

And Meng Chaoyuan and they arrived at Zhou Peng's house, and then the banquet began, Meng Chaoyuan and one of her sisters who came with her sat on the women's seat, and one of her uncles and an older brother who came with her sat on the men's seat.

It is also a custom for men to have one seat, one for women, and two seats for marriage.

As for their Zhou family, the family stir-fried vegetables, made up big pots and bowls, and simply ate and drank.

Zhou Peng also couldn't get into the table, so he could only accompany his uncle and uncle to get along with them, today, the biggest one is Meng Chaoyuan.

Marriage is the biggest for the bride, and marriage is the biggest for the groom, which is also the custom in Luzhong.
