Chapter 306 The Day of Joy 7

1.

On the third day after the wedding, also known as "Chaosan", early in the morning, Lao Chun's family began to get busy.

According to the wedding customs in the Hushan area, today's Lao Chun's family wants to welcome Xu Dan's mother's family to come to the door to "see three", commonly known as "see three days". "Look at the three" is generally by the mother-in-law with the eldest brother-in-law, and if there is no mother-in-law or brother-in-law, the aunt, aunt or cousin, cousin can be replaced. The main purpose of the mother's family to "see the three" is to see if their daughters have been wronged and bullied in the in-laws' house, or if the bride has any bad performance or bad behavior in the mother-in-law's house, the mother's family will teach or guide the bride and groom in person when they "return to the fourth".

"Kansan", also known as "Huimen", is the marriage custom of the Han people. On the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th day or full moon after the marriage, the son-in-law should return to her mother's home with the bride with gifts to visit her parents and relatives. The gift of becoming a son-in-law since the beginning of the marriage is now completed. This custom originated in ancient times, and is generally known as "Guining", which means to go home to visit your parents after marriage.

However, for some reason, the Toyama area separates "Kansan" and "Huimen". "Look at the three" in the Hushan area is the door of the mother's family, but the "return door" is placed on the fourth day of the wedding, also known as the "return to the fourth", the content of its marriage customs remains the same, but it is just an additional procedure.

On the day of "watching three", it is very important for the groom's family, not only to hold a decent banquet, so as to show his economic strength and family power, but also to serve the bride's family well, so that he can not underestimate the groom's family. The groom's accompaniment is usually a respected elder in the family, and the amount of alcohol is good. According to the custom of Toyama, the "sake fighting" at the banquet of "Kansan" is a traditional program, and the mother's family and the groom's family will change the method of persuasion to drink each other until the other party is drunk. If the bridegroom's family drinks the groom's family down, the bride's face will be raised, and if the groom's family drinks the bridegroom's family down, the groom will not be disgraced.

At ten o'clock in the morning, in Xu Dan's anticipation, Xu Dan's mother came to the door with her cousin, and she was still sitting on the light and small cargo card of Xu Dan's second sister's factory.

This is the first time Zhang Xiuli has met her mother-in-law, and the two of them have held hands affectionately and have endless heartfelt words, Zhang Xiuli praised Xu Dan as "rare in the world and rare in the world", and said that it is the blessing of Lao Chun's family to find a good daughter-in-law like Xu Dan. Facing Zhang Xiuli's chattering praise for Xu Dan, Xu Dan's mother was naturally happy in her heart.

The two families chatted for a while, drank a few cups of hot tea, and then set up a banquet.

The banquet was divided into two tables, one table in the new room for female guests, and one table in the hall room for male guests. The female guests were accompanied by Chun's mother, Zhang Xiuli, and the second aunt, and Xu Dan and Chun's sister-in-law were on the side, while the male guests were accompanied by Chun Shuli, Chun Shuwu, and Chun Shujia, and Chun and his cousin were on the side. This is also the wedding custom in the Hushan area, when the bride's family comes to "see the three", the people who are waiting on the side can not drink and eat on the table, but can only stand aside to pour wine and tea, and this work is generally the responsibility of the bride and groom and the husband's peers.

Xu Dan's cousin is the first time to participate in the affairs of "seeing three", and it is also the first time to be respected and welcomed by so many elders, for a while the young man is a little fluttering, and after a while, he was poured into the enthusiasm of Lao Chun's family, and he has long left many of Xu Dan's father's instructions to him before going out. So, the Lao Chun family led by Chun Shuwu bombed Xu Dan's cousin in turn, and the final result was, of course, that the Lao Chun family who fought at home won a big victory, Rao is Xu Dan's cousin's large amount of alcohol, and he couldn't stand the wheel tactics of the Lao Chun family, and before the banquet was over, Xu Dan's cousin collapsed on the wine table on the spot. Facing his unconscious and drunken cousin, Xu Dan's pretty face was a little gloomy. Xu Dan's cousin came to Lao Chun's house to "see the three", which represented his mother's family, and what he lost was the face of the old Xu family in Hushan Town. Therefore, Xu Dan's anger is also reasonable.

The table of the female guests has always been carried out in a warm and smooth atmosphere, Xu Dan's mother is well-informed and knowledgeable, and the kindness and meekness and reasonableness of Zhang Xiuli, the mother of spring, complement each other, the wine is not drunk at all, but the two of them have said a lot.

At half past two in the afternoon, the banquet ended, because Xu Dan's cousin was already drunk, so Xu Dan's mother had to take him to evacuate Shimengouzi Village in a hurry.

Looking at the car going farther and farther, the reluctance on Xu Dan's face became stronger and stronger. The mood of spring became more and more worried, Xu Dan's cousin was defeated in Shimengouzi Village, which made the old Xu family lose face, and the spring was afraid that tomorrow's "return door" would be frenzied by the old Xu family's crazy revenge. Tomorrow, but the home of the old Xu family, it is false to say that spring is not worried.

After sending off Xu Dan's mother's family, Zhang Xiuli took Xu Dan's hand and went back to the bedroom, and the two got together to discuss the gifts and matters to be paid attention to the next day.
