The custom of marriage here is generally to welcome relatives at noon and eat at night.

Greeting relatives at noon is probably to greet at twelve o'clock at noon, which does not mean departure, but refers to arriving there at twelve o'clock.

Getting married at night doesn't mean how late it is, it's just five o'clock.

Because if it's late, it's already dark and you can't see it, and there is no electric light or anything at this time.

Not to mention their village, the town has not yet had all the electric lights, and there is only electricity in some special places.

So you have to be early, otherwise it will be difficult to let the big guy eat in the dark?

It's not a big family that can light candles like daytime.

It was already eleven o'clock when Wang Xin came back, so the time was still quite tight.

After listening to his father Wang Daniu's words outside the door, Wang Xin immediately went back to his bedroom, ready to change his clothes first.

As for eating, don't be in a hurry first, and you won't starve to death if you don't eat a meal.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the bedroom, I could see a new set of clothes neatly folded on the bed in the bedroom.

It is a set of indigo clothes.

At this time, in fact, even the bride may not be able to wear red clothes.

To be precise, it is already good to have a new set of clothes when you get married, and many families marry daughters, so they can just pack up the shabby clothes and send them out.

What's more, the dowry or everything has to be deducted, and the half of the dowry is not allowed to be taken out.

When Wang Xin saw the clothes on the bed, he immediately closed the door, changed his clothes, and then hurried out to his father Wang Daniu.

There are some things he still has to ask, and he doesn't know about the marriage customs here, so he doesn't know what he's going to do with him.

It's not good to mess it up again, so it's better to move your mouth and ask first.

"Daddy, you let me follow, what am I going to do?"

Wang Xin walked to Wang Daniu, who was standing by the gate and waiting, and asked.

"You don't have to do anything, you just go with them, just let you come back and have a good time, there is nothing to do. ”

Wang Daniu thought about it, and really didn't have anything to ask Wang Xin for help, so he said directly.

What are the preparations for the wedding, they have already been prepared, and Wang Tiezhu has his own to worry about the wedding, and the matchmaker Wang who followed will also help to help.

All the two of them had to do was sit quietly at home and wait, waiting for the two of them to come and finish their parents' worship and take the oath.

Of course, Wang Xin has nothing to do.

Wang Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and waited quietly on the side, waiting for his eldest brother to come out when he arrived, and go with him.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wang Tiezhu wore a big red flower and rode a borrowed little donkey out.

His face was as happy as a peony flower.

I almost didn't put two bright red blushes on the left and right sides.

Wang Xin also hurriedly followed.

In addition to Wang Xin, there are many neighbors who are also ready to join in the fun at noon, after all, the distance is not far, and it won't take long to go back and forth.

Although there was no knocking along the way, it was better than a large number of people, but it was also very lively.

Wang Xin followed expressionlessly, followed his eldest brother out of the village, and walked into Zhangjia Village.

Then, he walked into the dilapidated thatched house where Zhang Zhaodi lived.

The greeting went quite smoothly, and no one made it difficult at all.

In fact, it should be a little difficult to greet relatives normally, and the troublemakers are generally the woman's brothers.

But so it is.

Zhang Zhaodi has no brother, no younger brother, not even a sister, and her eldest aunt and second aunt basically don't care about her, where can anyone come to help her make things difficult for Wang Tiezhu.

Therefore, Wang Tiezhu took the bride very smoothly and led the little donkey back to catch up.

There is no need to go into detail about many things after that, anyway, they are some relatively old wedding customs, what cross the brazier, one kneel to the sky, and the other to worship the ground.

The only thing that is special is that when they get married, they need to take an oath to the red book.

Declare your loyalty to each other.

Declare that we insist on upholding equality between men and women, and women can hold up half the sky.

This particular act is not available everywhere, but it is very popular.

It is especially popular among the working class, many of whom have even abandoned the custom of kneeling to their parents, but taking an oath to the red book is something they have always insisted on.

This trend did not gradually disappear until the late 70s.

Of course, the early sixties were not particularly popular now, but in a few places, and the real popularity had to wait until the late sixties.

After taking the oath, the wedding can be regarded as basically over, and there is no bad habit of making trouble in the cave room here, so it is very smoothly sent to the cave room.

Then the feast can begin.

There are no good things on the table, there is only one meat dish in total, and the meat is still very few, and it is estimated that it would be good for one person to share a piece.

The rest is fried with all kinds of vegetarian dishes, and even the rice is multigrain rice.

However, at this time, it is already good to have such treatment for wedding guests, and it is already generous.

Some families may even be able to invite others to drink porridge.

By the time we finished eating, it was already getting dark.

A few aunts and aunts who have a good relationship with their family helped clean up those dishes, chopsticks, stools and other things.

These things are to be washed and returned to other people's homes.

There are dozens of people in this treat, and few people can get so many bowls and chopsticks and stools at once.

Therefore, it is basically scraped together with the surrounding neighbors, and now that it is used up, of course, it must be washed and returned to others.

As for the leftovers, don't think so much, at this time, there will be any leftovers for you, they are all eaten cleanly.

This busy, busy until dark.

Wang Xin didn't participate in washing the dishes, he just helped fetch water on the side, and after fetching the water, he sent the benches to the neighbors' houses.

However, the bench still needs his mother to help him understand it first, and he himself can't tell which benches are which ones.

By the time everything was done and everything had been returned, the moon had already begun to rise.

Wang Xin secretly looked at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock.

This time is indeed not too late in the future, after all, there are many people who stay up late to cultivate immortals, but it is indeed very late at this time, and normally everyone goes to bed at seven or eight o'clock.

So after cleaning up, no one thought about chatting or anything, everyone washed up a little and went back to the house to sleep.

The next morning, before Wang Xin got up, he had already heard the sound in the kitchen.

When Ji Ming officially got up, he found that breakfast had been set on the table, and it didn't look like his mother Liu Mei made it.
