Chapter 6: Tying the Knot

In love, due to excessive passion, he was criticized and slandered by some good deeds and long-mouthed women. Behind the back, point and gossip. The woman's parents are face-loving, etiquette-minded elders, and under the influence of social pressure, they forced their daughter to get married as soon as possible, in case of criticism, but they were worried. In the countryside, feudal ideology imprisoned people's freedom, and spitting stars drowned people. Her family was originally a family of etiquette and righteousness, her grandfather went to a private school, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and was an old man in his seventies, with dignified manners, holding a civilized cane, and an elegant posture of politeness. His parents were loyal, hardworking and kind, and were nurtured by his grandfather's courtesy and righteousness, and his family education was very strict.

His daughter, although she is over 20 years old and has no higher education, is also an aspiring young man in the new era, and has never been fettered by feudal thoughts.

At that time, the countryside was influenced by the era of "breaking the four old and establishing the four new", which advocated late marriage and late childbearing, and our marriage also became a ridiculous and nonsensical laughing stock, which is still fresh in my memory and vivid.

In the early 80s, my parents chose an auspicious day for us, and instead of a sedan chair, a luxury convoy and a gorgeous wedding dress, we drove three oxen to pull a big iron plate car, all the way to the woman's house. Accompanied and guided by others, he bowed three times to his parents-in-law, and the wedding was held at his mother's house. The bride rode all the way in the iron cart and followed me home.

Wedding is a big joy, and a new thing is done. After worshipping the two elders, neighbors, relatives and friends, they hurriedly had a light meal and went home.

The two newcomers were exhausted after a busy day, and dinner was also spent in the hustle and bustle of children and peers in the same village. I didn't have to sleep until midnight.

The next day, according to local customs, the bride was invited to lunch and sent home.

For three days, we and my husband and wife must go back to their parents' homes together, which we call "returning to the door." ”

After breakfast, the husband and wife, with gifts, walked back to their parents' house with laughter all the way. Accompanied by my mother's family, I had lunch. Back to his own home. Since then, the curtain has opened the curtain of a lifetime of love between husband and wife.
