Chapter 69: Marrying a Daughter
According to the local customs of Heguang, a married daughter can not hold a banquet, and a daughter-in-law depends on the conditions of her own family, and Tu Jiarong's parents decided to wait for their son to get married before holding a banquet.
Zhao Zhihuan's parents must have a drink, they have a son, and they are old children, which is even more different.
Zhao Zhihuan is happy all day long, and his parents handle all the matters of marriage, so he just waits to be the groom.
Zhao Zhihuan's parents invited the cook of the restaurant on the street to cook at home, and set up a table in the courtyard outside the house, which was not enough for the neighbor to move the place to set them up for wine.
Tu Jiarong invited Cai Yihua and Zheng Ruqiang, Jin Changxi, and Li Wanglan and Li Xianglan sisters to attend her wedding, and asked them to send their relatives to her in-law's house, mainly because they were educated youths from Fuyang and gave her a long face.
Cai Yihua mentioned yƬ, and the five of them got together to buy a radio and send it to Tu Jiarong.
Tu Jiarong specially sent Xitang to Teacher Su, Teacher Su was surprised to learn that she was married to Zhao Zhihuan, remembering that when they were in school, Tu Jiarong dared to do it against Zhao Zhihuan.
On the wedding day, Master Gong went to the door early, dressed up for Tu Jiarong, braided a small braid on the top of his head and pinned it with a hairpin, and then braided it into two braids that just hung down to his shoulders, and tied pink silk flowers at the tips of his hair.
Cai Yihua, Zheng Ruqiang, and Jin Changxi rushed to Tu Jiarong's house early to help.
Tu Jiarong put on new clothes, Cai Yihua also dressed up, and accompanied Tu Jiarong to stay in the boudoir, and the elders and parents of relatives at home prepared a qiÄ and waited for the team to greet her.
Parents can't send their daughters to their mother-in-law's house, and the protagonist who sent Tu Jiarong today is his younger brother Tu Jiabao, who is the groom's brother-in-law, and according to custom, he has to support the scene on behalf of his mother's family.
Tu Jiabao listened to his parents explain this and that a few days ago, looking for someone to train him, he was very shy, not good at words, very angry with books, usually don't go out, just stay at home and read books when he has nothing to do, his sister got married to such a big scene beyond his ability to bear, and he was panicked.
Tu Jiarong's parents asked Zheng Ruqiang and Jin Changxi, who took the initiative to help, to help their son Tu Jiabao cope when they went to Zhao's house.
The sound of gongs and drums came, and the relatives of Tu Jiarong's family crowded to the door to greet them, Tu Jiabao stood at the front, holding cigarettes and matches in his hands, uncomfortable, Zheng Ruqiang and Jin Changxi stood on both sides of him.
At the moment before the arrival of the welcoming team, the Li Wanglan sisters came in a hurry, the two sisters kicked and shhh
Li Wanglan smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, where is Jiarong?"
Li Xianglan met Jin Changxi's gaze, greeted with a generous smile, and took the initiative to eliminate the embarrassment, and suddenly inadvertently saw a delicate face, white and clean, with a thin body, and it looked even smaller between Zheng Ruqiang and Jin Changxi, it was Tu Jiabao, he was also looking at her, looking at each other, just for a moment, neither side thought much about it.
The sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, and the welcoming procession arrived, Li Wanglan squeezed into the house to see Tu Jiarong, Li Xianglan probably liked to watch the excitement and crowded in the crowd.
The matchmaker walked in front and shouted, Zhao Zhihuan was dressed in a new dress, sprinkled with joy, and the spring breeze was proud.
Zheng Ruqiang and Jin Changxi reminded that Tu Jiabao turned on the cigarette and greeted the guests one by one, several of them were Zhao Zhihuan's brothers, he was clumsy, Li Xianglan's eyes were always on him, listening to the laughter of others, and learned that he was Tu Jiarong's younger brother.
The welcoming team invited into the house, everyone followed up to see the strangeness, Tu Jiabao, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xianglan looked at him, and the soles of his feet were nailed in front of him like nails.
Tu Jiabao smiled politely at Li Xianglan, and Li Xianglan blurted out: "Your dimples are so beautiful." ā
Yan Jiabao restrained his smile, his face turned red to the root of his ears, and said, "I don't like it, people laugh at me like a girl." ā
Li Xianglan: "My parents gave it, I can't help it if I don't like it, and I don't like the way I look." ā
Tu Jiabao, who has always been restrained, was amused by Li Xianglan, and the tension disappeared all of a sudden, and said, "It's good that you're like this." ā
"Yes. Li Xianglan's confidence increased greatly, and she asked with concern: "According to your rules, I will work hard for you today." ā
Tu Jiabao said helplessly: "Yes, I have to toast when I get there." ā
Li Xianglan: "Do you know how to drink?"
Tu Jiabao shook his head and suddenly asked, "Will you go over?"
"Yes, my sister and I are good friends with your sister. ā
"Shall I call you sister too?"
"I-18"
"I-19"
"I call you brother, but you look like a brother, and I look like a sister. ā
"Call me by name, my name is Tu Jiabao. ā
"My name is Li Xianglan. ā
The two spoke freely, exchanging a knowing smile from time to time.
The welcoming team entered the house, and under the guidance of the matchmaker, Zhao Zhihuan saluted Tu Jiarong's parents and met relatives.
With the permission of her parents-in-law, the bride Tu Jiarong, accompanied by Cai Yihua and Li Wanglan, came out to bid farewell to her parents and salute.
When Zhao Zhihuan saw Tu Jiarong, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After the ceremony, the gongs and drums sounded to lead the way, the person who greeted the relatives carried the dowry, and Zhao Zhihuan helped Tu Jiarong out and prepared to return.
Tu Jiabao followed her sister to escort her according to her parents' instructions, and Li Xianglan followed her sister and Cai Yihua to Zhao Zhihuan's house.
Because Zhao Zhihuan's house was very close to Tu Jiarong's house, the team that picked up relatives could not go the same way, so they came from one end of the street when they came, and picked up them from the other end when they returned.
Tu Jiabao looked back from time to time, Li Xianglan's eyes were full of concern and encouragement, and somehow, he felt a lot more steady
