436. Such a wedding (3)
The wedding was business as usual.
Ao Muyang was a little pitiful for Ao Wenchang.
Bao Yuteng he has seen, a girl with a very good appearance, but her personality is difficult to compliment, her family situation is very famous in the surrounding towns, marrying her is marrying a tigress.
As the so-called poor people must have something to hate, Ao Wenchang did not insist on being with Su Xiuxiu at the beginning, but obeyed the orders of his parents, then he has to bear everything today, and his family also has to bear it, who let them make such a choice?
The three villages have different winds and customs, and all parts of Hongyang have their own customs in red and white ceremonies.
Among them, the customs of Qiantan Town are more traditional, according to the rules of the fisherman's family, to pick up the bride on the wedding day, six cars form a wedding team, there is a video car in front, there is a security car in the back, a total of eight cars.
Six cars are the wedding cars for relatives, this number is better, and eight cars is the total number of the fleet, which is also a good number, so it is used by every household.
But when Ao Muyang went out in the morning, he saw ten cars lined up on the roads in the village, of which there were eight red BMWs.
He was very puzzled, and after coming to the door, he asked, "Hey, Uncle Qianyao, your pomp and circumstance are big enough, a total of ten cars?"
Ao Qianyao snorted and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing, just look good." ”
Ao Wenchang couldn't laugh, he said honestly: "The Bao family wants these cars, they say that ordinary people have six cars, and their family has at least eight cars to marry their daughter." ”
The people around immediately pouted, and Ao Qianyao hurriedly said: "This, this is nothing, I used to get married with eight sedan chairs, but now there are no eight sedan chairs, then eight cars, haha, good-looking." ”
In the custom, the groom is seated in the first car, and the second car is called Wangniangdan, which is a gift prepared by the man when he comes to the door.
In the traditional wedding in the past, marriage is indeed to carry a sedan chair to pick up the bride, this Wang Niang Dan is to have a strong man in the back to carry the burden, which generally has a knife meat, two big fish, two pig heads, as well as big steamed buns, five-color cakes, five kinds of fruits, tobacco and alcohol, candy, open noodles, open eggs and so on.
This time, it was Ao Mudong who was in charge of Wangniang, he was five big and three thick, and he was invited to help.
Discriminatory Nowadays, weddings are all about cars, and there is no need for anyone to carry the burden, and the reason why a strong man is still found to be in charge of this work is a kind of expectation, hoping that the groom can also be so strong.
Similarly, there is a hen in the gift of Wangniang, because the hen can lay eggs in a steady stream, which means that the woman can have a steady stream of children in the future.
Of course, because of the family planning policy, this has also changed, and now most families have only children, and it is just a habit to bring a hen.
Ao Mudong helped to move things, but it turned out that there were boxes of things, and it seemed that it was more than just a knife of meat, two fish, and two pig's heads.
Someone opened the box and saw that there was a foam box containing ice cubes, and there were several layers of large yellow croaker stacked inside, roughly looking like there must be ten!
In this way, the people in the village didn't understand, and asked Ao Qianyao: "You are too good-looking, right? We can't see the things in Wangniang's burden, they are all goods in the shadows, you need to prepare so much?"
Ao Qianyao smiled awkwardly and said the real reason: "The woman's family asked for it." ”
Ao Mudong suddenly became a little angry: "Then your family also agreed? Uncle Qianyao, you are usually a very shrewd person in the village, how can you marry a daughter-in-law for your son and negotiate the conditions like this?"
Ao Qianyao couldn't laugh out loud, and his expression was ugly.
Ao Muyang pushed Ao Mudong and said, "you, don't talk too much." ”
The videographer prepares the video shoot, and as the best man, he has to make some poses with the groom.
When there were only two people, Ao Wenchang suddenly said: "Actually, Wangniang took these things, which was prepared last night, and the Bao family called last night, saying that there was too little talk before, so let's prepare two more copies." ”
Ao Muyang felt very uncomfortable and said, "Your family agreed?"
Ao Wenchang sneered: "We're going to get married the next day, what do you say we can do if we don't agree?"
Ao Muyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't get angry, today is your good day after all, let's go." ”
The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the people in the village came to the door to join in the fun, and some people brought their children to distribute candy later.
The Bao family was in the town, and the convoy operated on the rugged mountain road, and finally entered the town.
Ao Muyang thought that the car would drive directly to the door of Bao's house, but the first car circled around the town.
This made him wonder, so he asked the driver, "Brother, what's going on, why are you still going around in circles outside?"
The driver also wondered: "I don't know, just now the captain said let's follow him, it seems that the woman's family asked for it, right?" He mentioned it, saying that the woman's family has a lot of affairs, and asked them to go around the town a few times, and they can't enter the door until the good day. ”
Ao Muyang frowned, it is understandable that he chose to enter the door at the auspicious time, but isn't this the time to discuss in advance?
The convoy circled around the town five or six times, attracting many families to come out and see.
In this way, Ao Muyang vaguely understood the meaning of the Bao family, they just wanted to save face, and wanted everyone in the town to know that their family was going to marry a daughter.
The convoy finally stopped at the door of Bao's house, the Bao family's family is good, there is a small building in the town, but the small building is not large, there are no five rooms on two floors, the space is very small, and it is not as comfortable as a large tile house.
However, living in a building in the town is definitely better in terms of face than living in a big tiled house in the village.
There are two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the small building, and the word "happiness" is pasted on the door, which looks very festive.
Ao Muyang got out of the car first to help Ao Wenchang open the door, Ao Wenchang's face was ugly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
This startled him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Ao Wenchang smiled reluctantly: "Brother Yang, this time it's really troublesome for you, if something happens later, you should be more responsible, my brother can't stand you." ”
Ao Muyang smiled: "Hey, don't worry, I'm very good-tempered, how the woman wants to toss, I will cooperate, but you have a good attitude and go." ”
Since he took Ao Wenchang on the boat and went to sea, Ao Wenchang has always called him the head of the dragon, and this time he suddenly called him Brother Yang, which made Ao Muyang feel that something was wrong.
After they got out of the car, the driver of the lead car also got out of the car, and then waved his hand to call a group of buddies together, and they began to mumble.
Enter the door to give a red envelope, this is called a red envelope knock, is also a fisherman's custom, there is a local saying called: sedan chair to the door, still owe a boat.
In the past, when a girl got married, she had a distant relationship with her mother's family, and her mother's family couldn't marry her eldest daughter in vain, so she had to ask for a bride price.
This 'boat day' is also part of the bride price, which means money, which can be understood as the money for buying a boat, and it is this part of the money that allows the woman to make a small fishing boat.
The knocking red envelope was agreed by both parties, and when Ao Wenchang arrived at the door, there were relatives of the Bao family blocking the door, saying: "Boy, bring the red envelope!"
