Chapter 226: A Wedding That Combines Old and New Customs
At nine o'clock in the morning of the third day of junior high school, the eldest aunt led Zhou Shengying to Guijin's house, accompanied by Uncle Aijun. Gui Jin's family lives in the south of the village, and no one in the village knows about it, and no one goes to see it. Unlike before, if someone has something going on, half the village will go to watch.
When Zhou Shengying came, he brought four gifts, malt cream, rock sugar, wine and snacks, which are valuable gifts in the countryside. From this, it can also be seen that his family attaches great importance to this family matter, although he is an orphan, the family does not treat him as an outsider.
Zhou Shengying is worthy of being the mother's family of her aunt, with a dignified appearance and a strong body, and when she wears a military uniform, she looks even taller and burly. Standing with Guijin, it looks like a match.
Zhou Shengying is tall and big, but her personality is very gentle. When he entered the door, Han De came out to greet him, so he stepped forward to take the wheelchair and pushed him into the house.
The relationship between the two went very smoothly, and at noon that day, Zhou Shengying stayed at Gui Jin's house for lunch, and the second master's family also went.
In the afternoon, the aunt's father and mother came to the door in person, and the family affairs were set, and the wedding date was set on the sixth day of the first month, which was staggeringly fast. The villagers also knew that Gui Jin's house was surrounded by villagers who were watching the excitement.
On the fourth day of junior high school, Gui Jin followed Zhou Shengying to the county seat, and the two went to buy things for marriage. When they went, they rode a bicycle, and when they returned, they each had one and brought back a sewing machine.
It turned out that when Zhou Shengying returned from the army, he had a bicycle and a sewing ticket ready. There were fewer watches and radios than his original target's requirements, and he felt that these two things were of little use in the countryside, so he didn't bother to make a difference.
In addition to these two things, they also bought quilts, fabrics, and other things, and there were many things on the back rack of the bike. After all, Gui Jin's family is herself, and her father and mother have saved her cloth tickets for several years, and she is also rich in money.
Zhou Shengying is in the army, and there are more tickets than in the countryside, and they are military tickets that are used throughout the country. Guijin was a few years younger than him, and the conditions were good, so he wanted to make up for it materially, so he bought more things.
On the fifth day of the first month, the two of them went to Zhangji Commune to get a marriage certificate, and their uncle also followed, and by the way, they did them a favor.
Seeing the two of them riding in and out of the pair, Han Decai and his family couldn't close their mouths happily. The daughter found a satisfactory home, and the two of them solved a big problem.
In the courtyard of Han Decai's house, I found a lot of help, covering quilts, making clothes, and preparing wedding supplies. Due to the tight schedule, it was too late to hit the furniture.
However, Gui Jin was not ready to live in Zhou Lou permanently, and she still lived in her mother's house after getting married, which was said when she was married. Zhou Shengying has no opinion, anyway, there is no one else in his family, so it is convenient to live there.
Han Decai's wife pulled her aunt and asked her to help make a padded jacket for Gui Jin. People in the village don't know that the padded jacket worn by my aunt is called Tang costume, but in fact, it is not accurate to call it Tang costume, which is just the customary name of people in later generations.
Gui Jin bought a piece of red brocade in the city yesterday, and he didn't think he could wear it when he got married, saying that he would do it later when he had time. Her mother saw that her daughter liked it, so she begged her aunt.
The eldest aunt is actually the same as Zhou Shengying's aunt, and of course the requirements of the future nephew and daughter-in-law must be met as much as possible. So she brought her second aunt over, and the two of them did it together, and they really did it.
When the women of the village saw it, they all gathered around to learn the technique and prepared to make one of their own. If you can't make brocade, you can make cotton cloth and look good. Wisdom and the cotton jacket that they wear leisurely, they all like it.
Guijin came back and saw the finished padded jacket and was overjoyed. I quickly put it on and tried it on, causing everyone to exclaim.
"It's so beautiful, Aunt Guijin wears this dress, just like the fairy in the painting. β
Originally, Gui Jin was going to get married in a military uniform, but when she saw the finished padded jacket, she changed her mind, and then begged her aunt to help her make pure wool pants, and she bought the fabric yesterday.
Everyone joked with her: "Aunt Guijin, if you call her aunt, she will do it for you." β
Then someone coaxed: "That's it, you have to change your words, you have to call your aunt." β
Someone else shouted: "Zhiyuan Niang, have you prepared a red envelope for your nephew and daughter-in-law, quickly take it out and let Guijin change his words." In a word, Gui Jin was ashamed to go back to the house.
In the evening, Gui Jinniang and the second grandmother came to find grandma, and they wanted Youyou to follow her tomorrow to see off her relatives. The custom here is that the woman must follow the two children of the man and the woman, and carry the curtain and the burden respectively.
It is a good thing to go to see off relatives, and the man must wrap a red envelope for each child, at least two yuan, and more than five yuan. There are many children in the family, and in order to follow them to see off their relatives, there are many people who are angry and troublesome.
Gui Jin's family has two families, the second mother and the "little old mother", and there is only one child left in the family, but in fact, the dog is not counted as their child.
There is still a girl missing, and the second grandmother wants to let Yoyo go, just with the dog. Both of them are not surnamed Han, and they also blocked the mouths of the people in the village. According to Aunt Yoyo, no matter how many turns there are, Yoyo and her family are also related.
Now the state is calling for a change of customs, a new celebration of happy events, and a revolutionary wedding. However, weddings in the countryside still retain many local customs. So, in the 70s, people combined the old and new customs with the wedding in the countryside, which was simple and lively.
Due to the proximity of the two villages, just eight o'clock in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, the people from Zhoulou Village arrived to greet their relatives, and they slipped six bicycles, and the handlebars were tied with big red flowers.
In the sound of festive firecrackers, Zhou Shengying was wearing a brand-new military uniform, Han Guijin was wearing a red brocade dress, and the handsome men and women were pretty, and everyone who watched them praised them.
"These two are really right, I have never seen such a beautiful newcomer. β
They bowed to their parents, and they were hugged by their marrymen and walked out. The second master took Baojing, Han Daowei and others, and went to see off relatives, Guixiang and Erpan were bridesmaids, and they took Gou Yu and Youyou.
Not only did the two uncles go to the Youyou family, but the two of them also went, and they went to congratulate the man.
When the car arrived at the door of the man's house, the red firecrackers were lit, and in the crackling firecrackers, the two women held the wooden bucket wrapped in red paper in their arms, grabbed the sugar fire and peanuts and red dates, and sprinkled them in the distance of the gate.
The eldest aunt's father and mother are Zhou Shengying's elders, and the red envelopes handed to the two children are six yuan. The red envelope given to Guijin is 60 yuan, which is the money given by the mother-in-law to get off the car, Er Pan opened it and looked at it, and shouted loudly: "Sixty or six Shun, the newcomer gets off the sedan chair." "That's the rule, too.
The money to get off the bus has to be six, six yuan, sixteen yuan, and only those who pay special attention to their daughter-in-law will give sixty, and Guijin's money for getting off the bus is the highest.
