Chapter 102, Wedding Customs, Wedding Cars
The people who came to find Chen Shu were none other than Chen Shu's classmates who went to elementary school together, and only four of their primary school classmates had completed college, of course, there were five including Chen Shu. I don't know what happened to these people when they came, the most is the wine field, basically every time I go home for the New Year, I have to drink with this group of people a few times.
When a few people entered the house, they saw Chen Shu and Luo Chenyu who was eating, and when they saw a few people coming in, Luo Chenyu couldn't continue to eat, so he quickly stood up.
"Chen Shu, when did you come back? Who is this beauty? Sister-in-law!" It was Zhao Ming from a village who came in, one year younger than Chen Shu, and there were four or five people behind him.
"Sister-in-law is good, sister-in-law is so ......" A few people behind began to shout, and Luo Chenyu, who was screaming, blushed a little.
"Li Hailong, what are you doing blindly, you are one year older than Chen Shudu, and you are still shouting!" As soon as the group finished shouting, someone started talking, causing everyone to laugh.
"Don't make a fool of yourself, let's go to that house!" After speaking, Chen Shu invited the group out and went to the room where Chen Shu lived, where there were all kinds of tables and chairs, but the books that had been used were all on the shelves. This is where Chen Shu has always lived, and it can even be said that he has lived here most of his time.
After being admitted to high school, he began to live in the school, and from that moment on, Chen Shu left this room, and now he still feels very affectionate when he walks into this room again.
"You guys came over fast enough, why are you so complete this time, will it be fine?" asked Chen Shu.
"Liu Hailong is going to get married, that is, the day after tomorrow, aren't you coming back, the car is not enough, you guy drove back at this time, ready to requisition to attend the wedding, are you free?" Li Hailong said.
"The day after tomorrow, it's almost the New Year, why did you choose such a date?" asked Chen Shu.
"People say that a good day is a good day, so let's not worry about it. Do you have time to go? It just happens to be crowded. ”
"Go, why don't you go. But I just have to take my relatives, I don't have anyone else at home, my girlfriend is not good at home alone, and a girl who is not married can't follow this kind of thing. Chen Shu said.
"Yes, you can go over before you leave, and I'll call you an hour or two in advance. What's your car called? No one in the village has bought such a big one, it's an off-road vehicle, right?" Yang Longbin said.
"Hyundai Terraka, it's an off-road vehicle, it burns diesel! When I came back, my buddy lent it to me, I didn't buy it. He bought a Porsche Cayenne and lent it to me to drive for the Chinese New Year. When the time comes, what position I occupy and what I need to prepare, let me know in advance, and prepare when the time comes. Chen Shu said.
"Then it's decided, I'll talk to Liu Hailong when I go back, this kid is worried. Isn't it almost the New Year? Many people have something to do, and the car can't be dismantled at all, if you don't come back, our brothers will still think about it everywhere. Let's go, look back and remember the past, that is, we will leave in the middle of the night tomorrow night. Li Hailong said, and several people left lively.
Waiting for the group of people to leave, Luo Chenyu came over and asked Chen Shu: "They are all your classmates, what are they looking for you?"
"There is a married man, so far the car has not been enough, heard that I drove back, hurriedly ran over to occupy the number, for fear that I will lend the car out again. I'm afraid that if they break it, they won't be able to explain it, and I'll have to go when the time comes. But I told them that I would come back after picking up my relatives and not stay there!" Chen Shu said.
"Well, when the time comes, drive slower, and safety comes first. Are you getting married here?" Luo Chenyu asked.
"On the first day of marriage, I have to cook a lot of meals to entertain my family, and our classmates usually go over to help at this time, responsible for setting up tables and chairs, and at the same time responsible for booking wedding vehicles or something. That night, it was basically the world of these young people, and when they sent their family to dinner, these guys began to play cards and gamble for money. ”
"I've participated a few times, and there are a lot of sayings here, and I know a lot after participating a few times, and even some women who haven't kissed are not as much as we young people know. Chen Shu said.
"Can you tell me, I want to hear it, it's okay now anyway!" Luo Chenyu held Chen Shu's arm and shook it back and forth, for fear that Chen Shu wouldn't tell him.
"When the son-in-law goes to pick up the daughter-in-law, it is basically difficult to knock on the bride's door without a red envelope, and the bride usually sits in the innermost part of her mother's bed. When you go to pick up the bride, you need to carry the bride off the bed, and you must not kneel on the bed, but sit on the bed and rub it over. ”
When I arrived at the woman's house, the woman's relatives often made all kinds of jokes, some would wipe the son-in-law's face with ashes, and some would give the son-in-law a gift bag. This gift bag is not ordinary, it is often filled with eggs, and it will pretend to be raw when you play hard, and it will be deliberately crushed for you when it is in your pocket!"
"Our hometown is called 'pretending to be an egg', which means pretending to be crazy and stupid, and it is also a test of whether the son-in-law is smart enough. When the wedding car is taken back to the man's house, it usually stops at the man's house. If the woman is instructed to do so at her mother's house, she will never get off the bus nearby, but will get off from the outside, go around the car and enter the man's house. Chen Shu said.
"What is this saying?" Luo Chenyu asked as if he was curious, staring at Chen Shu.
"The inner ring gets off the car and is angry with the mother-in-law, and you can't talk at home! The convoy to welcome the relatives is in front, and the convoy to send the relatives is behind, and all the dowry will be pulled over. After arriving at the man's house, a banquet will be held to entertain the team to send off relatives. When the send-off team finishes eating, the man will send the other party away. ”
"The next is the grand wedding banquet, the man begins to prepare the banquet, about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the man sends a car to the woman's house to take the woman's relatives over for the wedding banquet. This side is all served with flowing water, and there are basically more than 20 dishes. ”
"The average family has pork knuckle, fish and chicken, but of course there are not all of them. By the time the banquet was over, it was basically four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and I ate and drank almost in the afternoon. Chen Shu said.
"Now it's much better than before, now only the relatives of the other party are invited, and the villagers in the village are also invited to feast, when there are less than 20 tables, when there are more than 50 or 60 tables, and those with poor conditions can't afford to eat, so it was banned by the village, and now there are more than ten tables. ”
"By the way, on the first night of the wedding, the man will send something to the woman's house, I don't remember what it is called, there is also a saying. It seems that there are nine kinds of food, and each box cannot be repeated. Chen Shu said.
"You guys do have enough things to do here, we can just make do with it, especially on our mountain, there are not so many things at all. Luo Chenyu said, but thinking about so many things, it's enough to toss.
After deciding on this, there are not so many things to think about, and the two of them turned on the TV and started watching TV. There is no Internet at home, there is no convenience in Tangshan, and you can watch Korean dramas or movies on the computer if you have nothing to do. Inevitably, neighbors came to visit the door at night, and both of them got up to greet them, and when they left, they had to send each other out.
