Chapter 155: My Cousin's Marriage (I)
In the countryside, every family will experience such a happy event as marriage, which is a major event and a tiring thing. Not to mention the other families in the building, just his uncle's family, Feng Yiping has participated several times, although it is not his turn yet, he already knows the hardships.
So much so that for a while, after watching some TV dramas, the parents of both men and women in the city met and said, I see that next Tuesday is a good day, so let's set it on that day, and then the wedding will be held in a few days.
Of course, when he himself became a city person, he realized that, well, many plots on TV are exaggerated on the basis of jokes, that is, he is specially fooling the mountain people who don't know anything, and it is not easy for city people to get married, at least half a year in advance.
And it's not like the countryside, where the men and women in the countryside prepare their own banquets, and the people in the city prepare for marriage, many things are done together by the two families, and the banquets are also placed by the two families, and there are more contradictions and conflicts.
Feng Yiping and his father rushed back to the mound on the afternoon of the first day of Sister Yuhua's wedding, and when they arrived at the second uncle's house, it was already very lively outside.
A big fat pig had just come out in the morning, and at this time, one side was still hanging on the ladder against the wall, and the other side was on the large board, and the two chefs who had been invited were dividing it.
A few cousins-in-law were already busy on another board, chopping fish one by one to make fish balls, and two were chopping vegetables.
The people who will help tomorrow will have dinner at the second uncle's house in the evening, and arrange some things by the way, Feng Yiping counted the people who came in and out, and it is estimated that the three tables will not be able to hold tonight, too, not to mention these kitchen chores, there are many people who will help carry the dowry tomorrow.
On the ground next to it, two large stoves have been set up, two large pots are buckled on them, and under the eaves of the uncle's house next to it, a small stove has been placed, and there are also piles of sundries that the second uncle's house can't put in front of the house, and there are a lot of sundries that will be used tomorrow.
As soon as I entered the hall of the second uncle's house, I smelled a heavy smell of paint, and the hall was full of dowries, all of which were painted red, and each piece was pasted with red paper written "Xi", of course, it was the joy of two "Xi" connected together.
He couldn't get into Sister Yuhua's room, it was full of girls' laughter, there were big girls and little daughters-in-law, chattering, very happy, but I couldn't hear what she was saying.
In the kitchen, there was a circle of people sitting around, of course the three brothers of the Feng family were there, and the fourth uncle of the private teacher was in charge of the wedding, and when he saw his third brother and Feng Yiping coming in, he didn't say a few words, and set the task of their father and son, Feng Zhenchang will still be in charge of the accounts tomorrow, and Feng Yiping will become a glorious trotter.
There is no way, there are too many young people working outside the village, and there are not enough people.
Seeing Feng Yi's face embarrassed, Brother Dong Ming knew what he was thinking, and immediately added, "The tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks and trays are all prepared for you, you will only be responsible for the two tables placed in the uncle's house tomorrow, which are close!"
Oh, that's good, you must know that running the hall is not an easy job, if you are far away, in charge of three or four tables, his little arms and legs can't stand it.
Next, there is nothing for him to do, what the adults are discussing is tomorrow's reception arrangement, mainly to receive those who have important identities, such as Sister Yuhua and Brother Dongming's uncles, the old cousins of the grandmother's family of the four brothers of the Feng family, as well as the representatives of the man's side to welcome relatives, and some guests to be invited.
To do such a thing, the most afraid is to make mistakes in the busy, let people be neglected or the etiquette is not thorough, or that sentence, some people with a bad temper, but no matter what the occasion is, the attack will occur, or even use the topic to play, but the owner has to pay for the smile.
Feng Yiping didn't eat at the table, and went home by himself when he was full in the kitchen, so when he was busy, he was the most likely to make mistakes, usually he, the big baby of the Feng family, no one would take care of him today!
He slept in a daze, only to hear his father come back, and when he looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock.
The next day, Feng Yiping lay in bed until more than seven o'clock, and then was woken up by the two brothers Wenhua and Wenhui.
In the courtyard of the second uncle's house, it is already lively, the dishes of the noon banquet have already begun to be made, and there are all kinds of chops on the board, everyone is shouting, and others can't hear it clearly if you whisper.
Feng Yiping took his two nephews, ate a big bowl of noodles, and walked towards the hill behind him, he went to watch the wind, when the landline phone was far from popular, and he didn't know when the man would greet him, only with such a stupid method.
At the beginning, only the Wenhua brothers followed, and when they arrived on the hill, they were decorated with a small radish head behind them, no way, in the countryside, whenever there is such a happy event in the village, it is like a festival, and those little ones who go to elementary school in the village are normal for skipping school for a day.
At this moment, the large handful of hard candy that the second aunt stuffed into his pocket finally came in handy, and after a while, the little ones snatched it up.
These little guys can't be idle, always running in the kitchen and on both sides of the hill, there is food in the kitchen, and you can mix a ball or a piece of fried fish at a time.
At eight o'clock, people came one after another on several roads around the front and back, all of them came to give gifts, and at nine o'clock, my grandfather came with my eldest uncle and third uncle.
For such a thing, ordinary relatives can just ask someone to bring a letter, but a respected relative like my grandfather made a special trip to ask a cousin to come to the door three days ago.
When he came, he was immediately invited to the uncle's hall, and the uncle made a special trip to accompany him.
At about half past nine, I finally saw people coming on the road, and there were a few drummers playing a song that Feng Yiping didn't understand, but it was very cheerful, and the man had arrived.
Brother Dongming and a group of brothers, followed by the fourth uncle and Feng Zhenchang, as well as a few elders in the courtyard, stood on the side of the road, with long firecrackers hanging on a bamboo pole next to them.
When they could see each other's faces clearly, the firecrackers were lit, and in the sound of "crackling", people on both sides were like teachers, taking a few steps forward and shaking hands warmly.
On the hill next to it, it was full of people, most of them were in the mound, and some were guests who came to give gifts, and many people, especially those big girls and little daughters-in-law, were snorting melon seeds while pointing at the groom who was wearing a blue tunics and a big red flower tied with red silk on his chest.
The groom official is the kind of attractive type, at first glance, it's really not good, look at it a few more times, and it will be pleasing to the eye, slightly older than Sister Yuhua, it is estimated that it is the first time to be watched by so many people, and his face is redder than the red flower on his chest.
Feng Zhenchang After they finished speaking, they stepped aside, and the children next to them immediately swarmed around, stretching out their hands towards the people next to the groom, and they were also prepared, and took out a handful of joy candy from the basket with the big red word "happiness", and also broke up the cigarettes one by one, and threw the bags to the places where there were many people around, and everyone also jumped up and grabbed it fun, in short, it was very happy!
