The old chief's marriage testimony won a round of applause from the people. Nowadays, when people in rural areas get married, there is no such thing as a witness. It can be said that Zhiming and Dongmei have opened a new chapter in rural weddings.

Since then, weddings have been held in rural areas, and the witnesses are all virtuous and respectable people. The main testimony is that the marriage of a couple is justified and legitimate.

After the marriage, the next thing is to worship heaven and earth. Since liberation, the content of the procedure of marriage and worship of heaven and earth has changed.

"Bow to the great leader!" a couple of newcomers bowed respectfully to the great man.

"Second worship Gaotang!" Han Zhiming's grandmother and parents came to the stage and sat on the pre-arranged high-backed chairs, and the two newlyweds knelt down and kowtowed to the elders for tea.

"Three salutes to relatives, friends and guests!" this time I didn't need to kneel, just bowed to everyone and thanked him.

After the worship of heaven and earth, the marriage ceremony is completed.

The second master finally made a concluding speech: "As the officiant, I sincerely hope that you will respect and love each other, learn from each other and give each other in the future journey of life, create a better life together, and achieve a double harvest for your career and family." At the same time, I hope that you will carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, be filial to and respect the elderly and elders on both sides.

Finally, I wish the two newlyweds a happy marriage, an early birth of a noble son, and a happy life. I wish you all good health, smooth work, family happiness and all the best!"

After the wedding, Dongmei entered the new house accompanied by her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law. As soon as she arrived at the door of the new house, Zhiming's sister and her cousin handed her a red envelope, a bag of salt and a bag of wheat bran, wishing the couple a fate and blessing in their future lives. Dongmei took it and put it in her pocket, and she had to carry it for the first three days.

Entering the new house, the married woman directly led Dongmei into the bedroom on the first floor and let Dongmei sit on the new bed.

The new bedding on the new bed was prepared by the in-laws. There are two bunks and four covers for a total of six bedding, which is the largest in the countryside now.

In fact, Han Zhiming's mother prepared more new bedding for them than on the new bed.

Their new house is a villa assigned to Zhiming's name in the village, with more bedrooms, and a total of four beds upstairs and downstairs. Except for the futon on the new bed, the other beds are also two new bedding with two beds.

The bedding of the new house is sprinkled with red dates, chestnuts, longan, lotus seeds and peanuts. When these things are added together, it means that the morning (jujube) standing (chestnut) is expensive (longan) and the flower (peanut) of men and women.

As soon as the tea was poured, Zhiming's sister-in-law brought in a bowl of noodles, and handed it to Dongmei when she came in, followed by a group of women and children watching the excitement.

"Brother and sister, if you're hungry, let's eat a noodle mat first. ”

Dongmei picked it with chopsticks, and the noodles stuck together and couldn't be eaten at all.

Zhiming's sister-in-law smiled and asked, "Raw?"

Dongmei blushed and replied in a low voice, "Sheng!"

The woman who watched the excitement laughed loudly and said, "The new daughter-in-law said, give birth!"

The children found it amusing and repeated aloud: "Raw!"

Dongmei listened to these people's words, her face turned even redder, and she was ashamed and didn't dare to raise her head.

The men cried out, and threw themselves on the new bed and grabbed the stuff on it, and the child grabbed it and stuffed it in his mouth. The women snatched them in their pockets and took them back to the old man and the child, and it was said that they had eaten the fruits of the new bed and were in good health.

The things on the new bed were almost snatched, and the married woman bombarded them outside: "Let's all go out first, it's time for the mother's family to come to settle the dowry." ”

After Dongmei entered the new house, the dowry placed in the courtyard was opened, and the link of brightening the dowry began.

The dowry sent by the mother's family was on the gift list, and the uncle of the mother's family read the same thing with the dowry list. At each thought, the bride's uncle took the key and opened the lock, so that everyone could watch it one by one.

After the list of gifts was read and the dowry was lit up, the exclamations of the people around did not stop. The mother's family handed over the dowry list to the in-law's family, which can be regarded as a clear road.

According to the rules here, no matter how urgent and difficult the life of the in-laws' family is, they can't touch the daughter-in-law's dowry. Of course, the daughter-in-law took the initiative to take it out, and no one stopped her.

After the dowry is bright, the mother's family begins to settle the dowry.

After watching the lively people in the new house leave, the married woman took the opportunity to ask: "Dongmei, do you go to the bathroom?"

"Good!"

Dongmei has spent most of her time in Hantun in the past few years, the first two years in the sales outlet of Youyoujia, and the two years in the factory in the village. She was familiar with the people in the village, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. There is a bathroom in the villa, and it is easy for her to enter generously.

The bride in other villages, but there is no such condition, the toilet is in the yard, on the morning of the wedding, the yard is full of people, the bride goes to the toilet is inconvenient, only take the opportunity of the dowry, can go to the toilet.

Therefore, many brides, in order to avoid the embarrassment of going to the toilet, on the day of their wedding, they did not dare to drink porridge in the morning, but simply padd a few mouthfuls of dry food, and did not even dare to drink more water.

said that it was the dowry of the mother's family, but in fact, all the people who did it were people from Hantun Village. The uncle and uncle who were given by the mother's family followed along and pointed out the dowry.

Dongmei's dowry is many, and Dongmei's cousin came here before marriage, and how to place the dowry has long been discussed.

Dongmei's dowry is not only furniture, but also color TV and air conditioning, fortunately, the village has its own professional and technical team, and several technicians work together, so that the air conditioning is installed.

Air conditioning is not only in rural areas, but also in county seats. These technicians also greeted in advance and went to the county seat to study.

So many dowries were placed for more than an hour before they were properly placed. It's half past eleven, and it's time to start the table.

Dongmei got married, and her mother's Zhou Lou just gave the dowry, and nearly fifty people came, plus the accompanying guests, and sat at six tables. Dongmei's dowry is too much, others give a dowry to her mother's family, and Dongmei sends four sets of furniture to her mother's family.

Three-storey villas, each floor has a large living room, sofa and coffee table. Han Daowei's family bought four beds, and these four bedrooms had to have tables and wardrobes.

So much dowry, although it was delivered by tractor, could be loaded into a car and employed. In order to issue the dowry in time, Dongmei's mother's family still arranges two people for each large piece of furniture according to the custom here, so that a set of four groups of combination cabinets has to use eight people.

In Hantun Village now, no matter who has good or bad things, the whole village follows the seats, except for the children and students who go to school outside, and their own village also has 20 seats.

The party secretaries and directors of all the villages in Zhangji Town came, that is, the staff of the town, as Han Zhiming's colleagues, a few people on duty were left, and everyone else also came.

In the reform of county and township institutions in 84 years, Zhangji Town had 10 more people than other townships because it was a town. All the staff combined, thirty-two people. The town and the village combined, there are more than 100 people.
