Qinwa's face was flushed, and she looked restrained everywhere. Because of the strict restrictions on contact between unmarried men and women in the countryside, to this day, the married parties have not even had the opportunity to look at each other, which makes the happy event of life, which is already mysterious, even more mysterious. Qinwa, who is usually silent and even seems to be stunned, seems to have become easy-going all of a sudden on the third day of the first lunar month, and even the eyes that always seem to hate someone also shine with a shy and soft light.

The elders patted his shaved head with their hands to congratulate him affectionately, and his brothers of the same generation joked with him and said sour and rude things, and he all smiled shyly and did not mind anything back.

His aunt told him to change into a top hat, a black muslin robe, which he gladly put on his head, which he wore all the year round and only wrapped in a veil in winter, and the black muslin robe did not fit, and the hem swept straight to his feet. No matter how the borrowed outfit is, Qinwa has become a groom after all.

According to the ancient wedding etiquette popular in the countryside, Qinwa's marriage went very smoothly.

Qinwa was completely dizzy, he was led by his uncle's cousin, followed by the sedan chair and the drummer, walked into Wuzhuang, and went to Wu San's house to greet his relatives. Wu San is still good, and he doesn't have the usual bargaining when he arrives at the door of the car. When Qinwa got up and walked out of Wu San's house with her cousin, the sedan chair flickering in the sound of suona and horns had already reached the entrance of the village. In the sedan chair, there was a daughter-in-law who was going to spend the sun and moon with him from now on.

When he returned to Kangjia Village, the woman and the doll hugged him and his new daughter-in-law with a covered face into the small house, and as soon as he removed the red cloth covering his daughter-in-law's face, he was squeezed out of the door by the boys.

The daughter-in-law was married, and now she is sitting in the small house, where from time to time there is the laughter of young men and women. All relatives and friends, after the lunch banquet, put on the box and cage to say goodbye to the road, everything went smoothly. It's just that when the bride was playing in the new house at night, there was a little unpleasant turmoil.

Qinwa and the bride were hugged in the courtyard, the young men gathered around them, the women crowded around the periphery, and the small courtyard was crowded. During the three days of the wedding, no matter how big or small, regardless of seniority, anyone with any strange ideas and tricks can put forward it and ask the bride and groom to perform in public. These constantly renovated tricks, almost with pranks, are uncivilized, even barbaric, but they have been passed down in the countryside since ancient times, and everyone is like this. The old people know that for two men and women who have never met, the new house has a layer of inconvenient meaning: to inspire and tease the lust between two strange men and women.

Qinwa is not a person of age who knows this truth. They asked him to pour wine on the bride, and he did, and they asked the bride to light a cigarette for him, and he accepted. People called him "paste roof", and he hesitated.

Qinwa knows that the so-called "paste roof" is to stick a piece of paper on the tip of the tongue and then stick it into the palate of the daughter-in-law's mouth. He had seen other people's brides play like this, and he panicked when it came to him.

Someone hit him on the top hat on the head. Whoever took off the top hat and was constantly beaten on his bald scalp. The noisy roar made the small courtyard so noisy that it was about to be raised. Someone brought paper, someone twisted his arm. He glued the paper to the tip of his tongue and only touched his daughter-in-law's lips...... It's finally the same thing.

A new trick has been proposed: "digging out the finch". Ask Qinwa to stuff a handkerchief from the bride's right cuff and pull it out from the left sleeve. He thinks it's much easier to do than "paste the roof". He made a move, and the bride's eyes flashed with resentment towards him. Qinwa was stunned and thought, what does this have to do with it? So someone grabbed the bride's two arms...... When Qinwa's two hands handed over the handkerchief on the bride's chest, he touched **, his face was hot, and at the same time, he saw the bride crying with shame. Qinwa was uncomfortable, and he realized at this moment that he was too stupid.

"Did you pick up the finches?"

"Big finches and small finches?"

Qinwa lowered her head, so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head, and the commotion seemed to be far away, and he couldn't hear it.

He jerked his head up, took down his handkerchief, and squeezed out of the pile......

Suddenly, the people dispersed with a "whoosh", crowded and walked towards the door, the young men scolded and whistled, and only the bride was left in the courtyard, standing there in a daze.

"Ah, Qinwa, you are so stupid!" his aunt complained to him, "making trouble in the new house and playing with a daughter-in-law, it's all like this! Why can't you afford to mess with everyone?"

"This doll is very stunned!" The father was also apprehensive, "How dare we offend so many township parties?

"Go, go, go, call the village party back, and apologize!" said the aunt, "bring the wine up, please!"

"Count the miles. The uncle said, "I can't boast for three days, but I can't laugh for three days." As long as you treat the township party well in the future, it's nothing! Tomorrow, Qinwa will bring up the wine, take a walk, visit the door, and make a loss. ”

……

Qinwa entered her new house, her father had rested peacefully on the kang in the small stove room, and her uncle and aunt also slept peacefully. The street gate and back door of the small courtyard have long been closed, and the small courtyard, which has been noisy for a day, seems to be extremely quiet at the moment.

The daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the kang, her eyebrows were lowered, her cheeks were flushed, her two locks of sideburns hung down from her ears, and a green hair pin was inserted into the newly pulled up bun, and her neck covered by hair when she was a girl was white and delicate. Qinwa has already expelled the unpleasant emotions caused by the trouble. He is not as worried about losing the friendship of the township party as his aunt and father, he wants to protect his daughter-in-law from embarrassment, can the friendship of the township party be more important than that of his daughter-in-law?

He sat down in his chair and said, he couldn't find a conversation with her, but he wanted to talk to her. After a long time, he asked, "Are you...... Cold?"

She didn't lift her head, just shook it.

"Are you hungry?"

She still shook her head.

He was out of words again. He wanted to go over and sit with her, put his arm around her shoulder, but he didn't have the courage.

"How do you ...... You were just irritable?"

She still didn't look up.

"I ...... I don't think they're too good!" he said, "I'm afraid you'll be uncomfortable." ”

"You...... Silly!" she looked up and gave him a caressing look, "You should be with them...... Grind. You stupid!"

He seemed to wake up all at once. He has also seen scenes of other people's new houses in the village, and many of them are soft and hard, and they do not follow other people's blind ideas, and slip over. He doesn't have the ability to parry the crowd's commotion...... "You stupid!" said the bride to him, but he felt strangely comfortable. How good are men and women? He jerked his daughter-in-law into his arms.

"Ahh

He let go of his hand, and his daughter-in-law's left arm was hanging motionless. Did he break her arm? God, was she made of mud, or did he have excellent arm strength from adobe? He was terrified.

"One pull and one send. The daughter-in-law handed him her arm, "I have a problem with this arm, it doesn't matter, just install it." Pull—"

The arm was put on again. He stood aside and didn't dare to move.

She poked a finger in the center of his eyebrows: "You...... Fool ......"
