Wednesday's home is already a festive place. The big red lanterns are hung on both sides of the courtyard gate, and on the big red spheres of the lanterns, there are four golden characters each: newlywed Yan'er, a hundred years of good togetherness.

A couplet on the courtyard door, on the book: Pengmen and Xilai beads, the companion from now to the white head. When I got closer, I could smell the rich scent of ink.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, the dirt floor of the past has been replaced by a flat concrete floor. Under the two osmanthus trees, buried obliquely in the ground with bricks, the triangle was naked, and the city was besieged.

There are more than a dozen flowers and plants against the wall of the courtyard, leaving only a small circle of watering positions. Several of them are in full bloom, showing a delicate posture, as if welcoming the arrival of a new person.

The entire courtyard is cleaned cleanly, leaving no dead corners, and the tables and chairs that are being placed are also neatly arranged.

On the main door of the house, there is also a new post of Xilian: Yan's father is happy to watch the phoenix dance, and Hui'er is learning plum makeup; The door is horizontal: joyful. On the glass of the four three-open windows facing the inner courtyard, on the middle of the glass, there is a big red "Xi" character of paper cutout.

On the two glasses on both sides of the word "Xi", there are mandarin ducks playing in the water and lotus patterns, which are also paper-cut, and the true colors of mandarin ducks and lotus flowers are depicted with colors, which are really lifelike.

The open three halls, the middle hall is a landscape map of the motherland, and there is also a couplet on both sides: the silk Luo mountains and rivers are solid, and the piano is tuned to the heavens and the earth. Directly below the painting in the central hall, there is a long bookcase, the most conspicuous is a pair of red candles on the table, waiting for the arrival of the auspicious time.

Busy people coming in and out, some are setting up tables and chairs, and preparing everything to welcome the newlyweds.

According to local custom, the man will send someone to the woman tonight. The woman has a sedan chair meal in the evening, which is used to entertain the man who stands in front of the station and relatives and friends who come to congratulate in advance.

The number of people who play the front station must be an even number, and generally six people are the best. Among them, there are two people who act as matchmakers on behalf of both sides, one person who sets firecrackers, one person who carries burdens, and two people who carry wedding furniture.

The most important roles among these six people are, of course, the two matchmakers, but today there is only Aunt Xiaohui who is suitable for the title of matchmaker, she represents Xiaoqing's side of the red matchmaker, and the other person is a distant cousin on Wednesday, which naturally represents the man.

Just as the six of them were about to set off, Xiao Yao and the others, with congratulatory smiles on their faces, walked in together. The brothers and sisters who were busy on Wednesday were overjoyed when they saw Xiao Yao coming.

"Brother Xiao, I'm really worried that you will come over tomorrow and won't be able to catch the auspicious gift. ”

"How can I be? Brother Zhou's wedding, how dare I delay it? If I hadn't been involuntarily, I would have come a few days earlier. ”

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and Jing'er came to her mother's side early, talking affectionately endlessly. After Zhou Min saw Xiao Yao, he just greeted him shyly, and then went to arrange things again.

Xiao Yao was very depressed in his heart, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and he didn't know why Zhou Min's heart had changed so much?

Xiao Yao looked around the six people standing in front of him with great interest, and saw that among the six boxes of gifts he brought, there were cigarettes, wine, sugar, even knife meat, two tubes of dried noodles, and the indispensable foot-making rice.

Each of these gifts has its own exquisiteness and meaning. Since ancient times: the daughter is the father's soju altar and the mother's hanging noodle basket, even if it is popular at this time, those necessary etiquette are still indispensable.

"Brother Xiao, I don't have time to talk to you now, and you can't help. It's been a long journey, you go to rest first, come over for dinner in the evening, and you want to press the bed for me tonight, hahaha. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yao was looking at it so curiously, Wednesday was not polite, and directly picked out the words.

"I don't understand anything, I can't do it, you're busy with you, I'll leave, I can only promise not to make trouble for you. ”

As soon as Xiao Yao finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and for a while, all the noise was covered. Aunt Xiaohui and five other people set off together, and the wedding officially kicked off at this time and entered the countdown.

Jing'er originally wanted to go with her mother, but Aunt Xiaohui refused. After her mother left, she said to Xiao Yao:

"Brother Xiao, Mom won't take me there, can we do it ourselves? I miss Grandpa. ”

This clever Jing'er was afraid that Xiao Yao would also stop her by saying that she was not in accordance with the rules like her mother, so she simply said that she missed her grandfather. As soon as she said this, the few of them went forward, and it had nothing to do with the six people who fought in front of the station.

"Xiao Yao, I also want to go to Xiaoqing's house to have a look, but I don't know if it's suitable or not. ”

Fan Fangfei came this time to see the wedding customs in the countryside, but when she saw that Aunt Xiaohui refused to take Jing'er, she was at a loss.

Xiao Yao doesn't understand these folk customs, and he also understands Jing'er's thoughts, but when he goes to see his grandfather, he has to go to Xiaoqing's house to have a look. So, he found Zhou Min and asked if they could go.

"It's okay if you really want to go, but the number must be even, and if you come with five people, at least one of you will have to bring one with you. ”

"This is easy to do, I went to the factory to call Sister He, we are also six people. ”

When Xiao Yao learned of such a simple request, he immediately had to leave.

"Xiao Yao, you wait, the third brother said that he wants you to press the bed at night, and early tomorrow morning, I want you to accompany him to greet his relatives, what should you do if you leave?"

"What kind of bed? I won't. ”

"What's going to happen is that you're going to take three boys to sleep in his new bed tonight. ”

Zhou Min glanced at Xiao Yao with resentment, and his face once again showed a shy redness.

"Then forget it, you let the third brother find someone else, let's go, I'll wait for him at Xiaoqing's house tomorrow." ”

For Xiao Yao, these are not things, Jing'er wants to go back to see her grandfather, that is the most important thing. Zhou Min opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw that Xiao Yao was in a hurry, she didn't say more, and only muttered silently in her heart, you have to be able to find a talent.

Xiao Yao came to the factory. The whole factory was deserted. Except for Boss Zhao on duty, there was not a single worker. After inquiry, Xiao Yao learned that Zhou Min worked overtime a few days ago for the marriage of her third brother, and the factory was on holiday for three days from the 29th to the 1st.

Zhou Min did this, which was somewhat of a fake public and private taste, but it was unanimously recognized by everyone, and others couldn't care about it. At this time, most of the female workers in the factory went to Xiaoqing's house, and even He Bixiang and Tian Qian were invited to be bridesmaids.

Xiao Yao was dumbfounded, there was no one in the factory, there were not enough people on his side, and he had the intention to call Boss Zhao, but there could be no one on duty in the factory.

"Brother Xiao Yao, let's go to Jing'er's house, don't we care about how many people, right? When we go to Xiaoqing's house, let's call Grandpa Jing'er together, isn't this in line with the rules?"

Xiao Ai saw that Xiao Yao was in trouble because he couldn't find anyone, so he hurriedly came up with an idea. When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xiao Yao expectantly. You can't find someone to join, and they can't make it. Boss Zhao's expectant heart fell into the ice cave at once.

"Okay, let's hurry up, get to grandpa, and ask grandpa again, we don't understand, grandpa understands, it's really not good, it's a big deal to stay at Jing'er's house and not go to her house." ”

Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and made a decision, Boss Zhao, who really wanted Xiao Yao to take him with him, looked at the back of Xiao Yao and the others leaving in disappointment, and sighed deeply.

A few people were not in a hurry, enjoying the pastoral scenery all the way, talking and laughing all the way, and walking on the dirt road in the countryside without hurrying.

How did they know that in this village, due to the marriage of the captain's daughter, the workers from the factory, as well as the relatives and friends of Xiaoqing's family, had already placed this village full of people.

No one would have thought that there were five of them at once, and there was no food to eat, and there was no place to sleep.

Xiao Yao and everyone had not yet entered the village, He Bixiang and Tian Qian and a group of people, under the leadership of Aunt Xiaohui, had already greeted them.

"Xiao Yao, you are coming, why don't you tell me in the town? I heard others say that there are five people coming, I guess it's you, if Xiaoqing can't go out, she is anxious to pick you up." You ....... ”

Aunt Xiaohui knew that Xiao Yao and the others were not in the right number, so why didn't she have doubts?

"Auntie, we didn't go to Xiaoqing's house, Jing'er wanted to come back to see grandpa, we just accompanied Jing'er to see grandpa. ”

Xiao Yao didn't want to be told that he and others didn't understand the rules, so he hurriedly denied his aunt's idea. But no matter what, they have already come, and it is almost dark, so they can't be prevented from entering the village, right? At this time, no matter what Xiao Yao is here for, they can only go to their grandfather's house first.

Tian Qian and He Bixiang stood aside, smiling and looking at Xiao Yao talking nonsense with a serious face. More than a dozen people gathered together and came to Jing'er's house on Xiaogangtou together.

As soon as Grandpa Qian and his son saw Xiao Yao coming back with Jing'er, they were not to mention their joy. His old man can't take care of other people's affairs, and when his granddaughter comes back, the old man is very happy, and he was going to go to the town tomorrow to see his granddaughter.

"Jing'er, you stay at home with your grandfather and father, and I'll take your brother to Xiaoqing's sister's house first. ”

After a period of greetings, Aunt Xiaohui asked Jing'er to stay, ready to take Xiao Yao to Xiaoqing's house to report first. It is very rude for people not to visit the newlyweds who are about to get married.

"Mom, I also want to go see Sister Xiaoqing. ”

Seeing her grandfather, Jing'er had no excuses. With a pleading tone, she looked at Aunt Xiaohui pitifully.

"Xiaohui, I'll accompany Jing'er with you, you leave Jing'er, it's not like they go to the four of them. I'm going to make up an auspicious number. Six is smooth, representing smooth sailing. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what we think in the factory. ”

Xiao Ai couldn't bear to leave Jing'er behind, but with a single sentence, she exposed the lies woven by Xiao Yao.

He Bixiang and Tian Qian looked at each other, and the two looked at Xiao Yao, who was extremely embarrassed.

"What do you see? Don't blame you both? Don't you know we're coming? Leave one to wait for us, and we won't be like this. ”

was first exposed by Xiao Ai, and Xiao Yao's face couldn't hold it anymore. Now seeing that they looked down with contempt in their eyes, Xiao Yao was a little annoyed and angry, and only sprinkled his resentment on these two women who were closest to him.
