762. Customs

The road was rough and the car was driving slowly, and as they approached the entrance to the village, they heard a burst of lively music in their ears.

Then some people ran out of the village and stood on the side of the road, and out of the road came a black man wearing a black embroidered gold thread dress, a top hat, and black sunglasses, he wore white gloves in his hands, waved a baton in his hand, and danced rhythmically under his feet, and his body shook and shook, looking very festive.

Gradually, the music became louder and louder, and some people turned out of the intersection with the amplifier, and more and more people followed on both sides of the road, all waving their arms to the energetic music.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jinjie was stunned: "Damn, my father-in-law is so powerful, is this to welcome his son-in-law to come to the door and specially find a band to perform?"

Yang Shubao was also shocked: "This specification, I'm sour." ”

Agatha covered her forehead and said, "Oh, damn it!"

Zhang Jinjie hugged her and smiled: "Don't feel embarrassed because of this, I actually like this kind of fun, this is your custom - uh, damn it!"

Before he could finish his sentence, four more people came out of the intersection, dressed similar to the black man in charge of the command in front of him, all of them were black dresses and leather shoes, but there were no top hats, they had gold chains on their bodies, and they carried a golden coffin on their shoulders!

Seeing the coffin, Yang Shubao smiled: "This shouldn't be your father-in-law's welcome ceremony." ”

Agatha lamented, "We were so unlucky to run into the funeral procession. ”

The convoy reversed, and Yang Shubao got out of the car to watch.

According to Chinese tradition, it is very unlucky for a pregnant woman to encounter a funeral procession.

But there is no such thing in South Africa, especially the Zulu people, who tend to live a short life and have a very difficult life, so they are not very afraid of death, and when someone dies in the family, others often use it as an opportunity to get together.

Like at this time, the funeral procession is very festive, the music is roaring, the rhythm is full, and the coffin bearers are more like dancers, each with light and gorgeous steps, and only looking at the lower half of the body thought that they were dancing in the street.

Agatha also came to see the excitement, and in fact there were several pregnant women in the crowd.

The funeral procession passed by them, and the conductor saw that the foreign faces of the two men were so energetic that they paused in front of them and improvised a performance.

He waved his baton, and the four coffin bearers behind him pressed their shoulders against the coffin, and put their hands into their trouser pockets and began to tap dance.

Maison took out his mobile phone to record the video: "These guys' skills are really good, look at their steps, look at their physical stability, their upper body is motionless, only their legs are dancing, amazing!"

Yang Shubao and Zhang Jinjie knew that people deliberately performed to them, so they gave them a thumbs up.

Zhang Jinjie is in the tourism industry, and after thinking about it, he took out a banknote and stuffed it to the commander.

The conductor was even more energetic, he went up with enchanting steps and gave the baton to the black young man who carried the coffin in front, and he carried the front end of the coffin with the back of his neck, and the young men carrying the coffin on both sides withdrew and changed it to three people carrying the coffin.

The coffin bearer in the back stood still, and the commander in front stepped on small steps, his body trembled, and his arms shook back and forth, and the onlookers applauded and cheered.

In the rhythmic dance, the conductor pulled out the white handkerchief on his chest, he showed it to everyone, Yang Shubao thought there was something on it and probed forward, but the conductor shook the handkerchief, and a guinea pig jumped out of it!

Yang Shubao and Zhang Jinjie glanced at each other, stunned: Is this still a magic show?

After reacting, Zhang Jinjie said to him: "Don't say it, this technical content is not low." ”

Yang Shubao nodded approvingly: "This is to eat with real skills, but you say that if they shake like this, what if they wake up the people inside?"

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to add money. Maison said.

The conductor played two small magic tricks in a row, then stepped out of the way and handed the coffin to the four black youths.

It's a bit funny, but as Zhang Jinjie said, it's very technical.

As the team went on the road, someone shouted to Agatha: "Agatha, Agatha, are you back?"

A fat black woman ran at her with open arms, Agatha hugged her, and the two of them burst into tears.

Yang Shubao made a look: "I'm going to call my mother-in-law." ”

Agatha came back with the women and said, "This is my sister Elsa." ”

Yang Shubao was stunned: Judging from his face, the gap is quite big.

Agatha's parents are making coffee at home and waiting for their new son-in-law to come to the door, their house looks good from the outside, the houses on the whole street are painted with red paint, and the alleys before and after are painted with white paint, yellow paint, etc., the color is very strong, worthy of the rainbow country.

Zhang Jinjie was the first yellow son-in-law of their tribe, and many black children and women gathered at the door to watch the excitement.

This scene is quite familiar to Lao Yang, going back more than ten or twenty years, a new daughter-in-law came to their village, and the old people took the dolls to see it the same.

Agatha came back from buying a lot of sweets and snacks in the small town, she took out these things and handed them to Zhang Jinjie, and said in a low voice: "Go and distribute them to everyone and get to know them." ”

Zhang Jinjie was embarrassed, and Maison took over the job to help him share the pressure.

And then someone said, "Agatha's husband is white? It's good, it's good, it's a little older." ”

"Sugar daddy. Someone said.

And then more people drooled with envy.

Agatha's father's name is very technological, called Nano, and he entertained Zhang Jinjie for coffee and chatted with him.

Agatha's mother came to see the cow, Yang Shubao opened the car and released the cow, and when the van was opened, the king of cattle in the reserve appeared, and the group at the door exclaimed: "What a cow!"

Cattle are hard currency in the Zulu people's homes, they can plough the land, can transport, can make food, can sell for money, so every household in the countryside raises cattle, whoever has more cattle will be awesome.

The people here are experts in raising cattle, and when they saw the king of cattle with big shoulders and round waist and shiny coat, the admiration immediately rang out.

Someone rushed in in and shouted, "Nano, let your cow breed my cow, and I'll give you a hundred yuan." ”

Nano was happy when he saw the cow, but he couldn't say it at this time, so he gave the eldest daughter a look, and the eldest daughter walked to the door and stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred yuan, this cow has a high breeding cost." ”

As Agatha said, as soon as the five cows were pulled out, the marriage was completed.

In fact, for the Zulu people, marrying a daughter is a business, as long as the price is in place, it is easy to say anything else, they don't care about the difference in race and nationality.

They don't care if their daughter is doing well after she gets married.

A case like Agatha is already a good result for the Zulu people at the bottom, Zhang Jinjie is Chinese and has his own business, and his family background is good, they can be regarded as climbing the high branches.

The people in the tribe were so envious of this that many people with daughters in the family set their sights on Yang Shubao: Brother, do you want a daughter-in-law?

Yang Shubao: I'm sorry, I already have a daughter-in-law.

Immediately someone asked, "Do you want to have one more daughter-in-law?" or two or three?
