Chapter 303: The Day of Joy 4

1.

At eleven o'clock at noon, three tables of wedding banquets were set up at the spring house. A table in the wedding room is mainly to entertain the best man and bridesmaid and a cousin and a cousin from Xu Dan's mother's family to send off their relatives, accompanied by Spring and Xu Dan; The remaining table is a female guest, placed on the earthen kang in Chun Shuli's bedroom, entertaining those seven aunts and eight aunts who came from afar in spring, accompanied by Spring's mother Zhang Xiuli and two aunts.

Ten minutes after the banquet began, Spring led Xu Dan to the two tables outside to toast one by one, one was to show his respect for the elders, and the other was to let Xu Dan know these relatives and friends of Lao Chun's family. The toasting process is also very simple, holding the wine bottle in the spring, Xu Dan holding the wine glass, every time a person is introduced in the spring, Xu Dan will toast a glass of wine, and Xu Dan will give Xu Dan another cigarette when he meets a male guest who smokes. During the whole process, Chun and Xu Dan don't need to drink a drop of wine, as long as they express their politeness and respect. Xu Dan has been in the society for many years, has seen a lot of things, and is not afraid of this kind of occasion, he toasts generously, lights cigarettes, and speaks decent polite words in his mouth, which has been unanimously praised by the elders of the Lao Chun family.

This circle turned down, and more than half an hour had to pass. After the toast, Spring and Xu Dan returned to the new house and drank with Wu Xiao and Xu Dan's cousin with peace of mind. Xu Dan's cousin drank a lot of alcohol, and he also changed the law to force spring drinking, because he was the first time to come to the door, representing the old Xu family in Hushan Village, so he had to smile and accept Xu Dan's cousin's toast in the spring.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended, except for a few relatives who were far away and those who needed to stay overnight waiting for a "small meal", the others went home one after another, and Spring and Xu Dan had to go to the yard again and again to see each other. This is also another wedding custom in the Hushan area, the bride can not step out of the door of the husband's courtyard within three days of marriage, as for the reason and reason, no one can say why, anyway, it has been handed down like this for many years. Therefore, Spring and Xu Dan could only send off the guests in front of the hall.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the photographer who had finished making the wedding tape also left with the photographer and the driver, and the wedding tape was left in the spring, and the photos would not be delivered until two days later. Chun Shuli took out the happy money and rewarded the cameraman, cameraman and driver, and sent them away with great gratitude.

The rest are Xu Dan's little cousin and cousin, as well as the driver who drove a light truck to deliver the dowry, the light truck is from Xu Dan's second sister's factory, and the driver is also a distant relative of Xu Dan's family.

Spring and Wu Xiao had to hurriedly unpack and assemble the 25-inch Changhong color TV that Xu Dan's mother accompanied, and then connected it to Hitachi's VT-FX6500A video camera that he bought in the county seat in spring, so that the wedding tape just recorded by the photographer could be watched. Doing this work is familiar in the spring, and it can be done in ten minutes.

All the equipment was done, and in the spring, the family was gathered over to enjoy the recorded wedding video. Not to mention, the level of the photographer Xu Dan is really good, and the level of editing is also very high, the entire video tape from the opening subtitles, special effects, music, to the shooting effect, are all done just right, the whole video lasts an hour and a half, it looks like a natural little movie. It was the first time that these old people of the Lao Chun family saw their figures appear on TV, pointing at each other curiously and commenting on each other, and bursts of cheerful laughter rang out from time to time in the new house.

After watching the wedding tape, Xu Dan's cousin and little cousin said goodbye with satisfaction. Wu Xiao and Wang Li didn't want to leave, they still wanted to wait here for a new house and a lively house at night, so they had to leave it to them in the spring.

In the evening, as soon as it was dark, the young people in the village who were making a new house came one by one.

Although these young people who came said that they were all from Shimengouzi Village, they were not familiar with the spring, but they knew each other and knew that they were from the same village. Although it is said that there is a saying in the Hushan area that "there is no size for the three days of the wedding" and "the more noisy the more happy, the more happy", these villagers who come here are just using the excuse of "making a new house" to come here in spring to see the strangeness.

The "strange" they want to see is the spring wedding video and the spring family's big color TV, as well as the multi-functional video camera, these things are rare in Shimengouzi Village. Of the more than 100 households in Shimengouzi Village, 80 percent of them have televisions, but most of them are 10-inch black-and-white televisions, such as the original 17-inch "Panda" brand black-and-white televisions in the spring. In the past few years, although a few newlywed young people in the village have bought color TVs, they are all small and pitiful 14 or 17-inch color TVs, like the 25-inch big color TV of the spring family, which is definitely the first in the village. There is also a wedding video, and no one in Shimengouzi Village has ever taken it before, and at most it is just to find someone to take a few photos when they get married, and everyone in the village understands that even if they spend two or three hundred yuan to get married and hire someone to take a wedding video, how many families can afford to buy an expensive video camera? Since they can't afford to buy a video recorder, isn't it a disturbing ornament to put the videotape at home?

Under the warm greeting of Spring and Xu Dan, these young people sat on the sofa and marriage bed in the new house in Spring nervously, eating melon seeds and candy, while staring intently at the wedding video of Spring and Xu Dan broadcast on TV, their eyes were full of envy and longing.

After watching the wedding video, the karaoke tape was put on again in the spring, and the melodious melody immediately echoed and hovered in the room. Spring handed the microphone in his hand to the young people in the village, but none of these people would stand up and sing a song. It was Wang Li who relieved Spring, took the microphone in Spring's hand, and generously sang an excerpt from "Husband and Wife Return Home" in Huangmei Opera "Tianxian Pei" with Wu Xiao. Those young people in the village watched Wang Lihao and Wu Xiao's performances without blinking, and from their focused eyes, they could see the irrepressible youthful desire and turmoil in the hearts of these young people.

At the instigation of Wang Li, Spring also chose to sing a song by the most popular Taiwanese singer Huang An "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream". When Spring's rich baritone voice swirled around the room, Spring didn't notice it, but a trace of doubt had quietly hung on Xu Dan's brow.

“··· Draw the knife to cut off the water and the water is more flowing, raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, and the breeze of the Ming Dynasty is drifting. Only the newcomer laughs, who hears the old man crying, the word love, it's so hard..."

On this beautiful wedding night, is spring going to express something through this song?

This is the confusion in the heart of Xu Dan, as the bride, and it is also the confusion of Wang Li and Wu Xiao, who know a little bit of the inside story.
