Chapter 85: A Niu's Wedding

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, the group came to the front of Aniu's compound with rhubarb and flowers, and saw that it was already crowded with people, and it was extremely lively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tian Ying, a violent woman, really has a great increase in physique, and the four of them have been walking for five miles of mountain roads all the time, until they have arrived at their destination now, this girl is only panting slightly, her little face is red, and she does not look unbearable.

"Humph......"

When the violent woman saw Wang Qiang looking towards her, there was a faint hint of admiration in her eyes, and she was suddenly like a proud little peacock, snorting at Wang Qiang proudly, and her heart was extremely comfortable!

"Well, Ying'er, you are really strong enough, you deserve to be a heroine......" Wang Qiang felt a little funny in his heart, but he was slapping his ass wildly in his mouth.

"Ah Qiang!"

At this time, a shout came, and a burly figure rushed towards Wang Qiang, it turned out that Ah Niu had just walked out of the courtyard gate, and when he saw Wang Qiang and the third daughter coming, he was overjoyed and ran straight to Wang Qiang.

"Ah Qiang, you came here in a good time, but this time has kept me busy. ”

Ah Niu patted Wang Qiang's shoulder hard, laughed at him and said, his words were full of joy from the heart.

"Cuong, you bring so many things, this ......?"

The honest Ah Niu saw that everyone was coming with so many things, and he touched his head with some embarrassment and said.

"Hehe, Ah Niu, you are my good brother who has played since I was a child, do you need to see the outside like this?"

Wang Qiang diverted the topic a little funny, and with Ah Niu's help, everyone quickly entered Ah Niu's house and placed the things separately.

It's just that to Wang Qiang's surprise, Ah Niu's wedding has been all arranged, and there is no place where Wang Qiang needs their help.

As soon as Wang Qiang asked, he found out that the whole village of this small mountain village had come to help a few days earlier, and even those trivial things had been properly arranged.

Although a small part of this is due to the fact that the Aniu family is not short of money because of Wang Qiang, most of the factors are caused by the folk customs here: the marriage of people of the same clan in the village is not only a matter of the Aniu family, but also a major event in the whole village.

There is no need to help, and because of the folk customs here, Wang Qiang and the others can't help much, and the four of them are also happy.

After two days of hearing and witnessing, Wang Qiang and the three girls enjoyed a unique and quite lively wedding:

Here in Daliang Mountain, whether it is weddings and funerals, or the ethnic customs of the New Year's festivals, as well as the unique clothing culture, etc., are all natural and interesting.

Generally speaking, young men and women of the Yi nationality can talk about marriage after the age of 17, but from engagement to marriage, there is a complicated and colorful process.

Before the wedding, the villagers will gather food, brew homemade wine, drink to their heart's content, sing and dance until the wedding day......

Before the democratic reform, the Yi people in Liangshan implemented strict customs and habits such as "hierarchical endogamy, family branch marriage, and parental arrangement".

Nowadays, with the progress of society and the change of marriage customs, most young men and women can openly and freely fall in love and marry freely.

On the day of the wedding, no matter how far or near the road is, the young and strong young man must take turns carrying the bride to the in-law's house, and the Yi people have such a saying: the bride who does not carry it is not precious.

And Liu Tingting's home is too far away from here, under everyone's discussion, a slight change in the details, the school where she works now as her maiden home, and started this big activity full of folk customs.

Before going to her mother-in-law's house from school, Liu Tingting was dressed up in a brand-new pleated skirt, tight-fitting embroidered clothes, and a chaerwa (a cloak-like clothing of the Yi people), with layers of handkerchiefs wrapped around her head and a bright red cloth covering her face.

During the period of carrying the bride, regardless of the length of time, the bride can only eat and drink a small amount to avoid inconvenience on the way.

When carrying the bride, the most taboo is that the bride is not allowed to lie on the bride's back with her legs crossed, so she can only fold her legs in one place and lie sideways on the young man.

On the way to Ah Niu's house with the bride on his back, many young men and bridesmaids stopped to drink from time to time, and talked a lot after drinking.

When the bride-bearers poured into the mother-in-law's house, the men, women and children who had been waiting here for a long time returned to the bride-bearers in a traditional way, and dozens of smiling girls filled the mountain spring with pots and held the dark pot of cigarettes in their hands.

As soon as the young man carrying the bride stepped into the threshold, the girls unceremoniously poured the basin spring into the crowd. The bridegroom and the other lads rushed into the house, but it was hard to resist the torrential downpour.

After a while, the man's body was already soaked, and the girls still did not give up, and a shocking "prank" began.

After a while, the boys looked like clowns on the stage, you looked at me, I looked at you, bursts of cheerful laughter, and the girls were even more triumphantly clasped on their hips, showing the posture of victors.

During the wedding, in the large courtyard of Ah Niu's house, a chic wrestling match was also held:

Representatives of the families of both men and women twisted together, indicating that the two families of the two sides have gone from not obeying anyone at the beginning to living in harmony and forming a good union for a hundred years. Many of the best wrestlers of the local folk have made a name for themselves through such competitions at weddings.

At night, when the lights are brilliant, Ah Niu's family slaughters pigs and sheep, prepares self-brewed and soaked water wine bought from other villagers, and serves steaming "pack meat" (boiled pork), and sets up a banquet to entertain everyone.

The guest and host hold the wine bowl and drink freely, and then there is a singing and dancing competition, to see whose mountain song is deep and meaningful, all the young men and women of the Yi nationality can sing and dance, and the beautiful singing voice surrounds the valley for a long time......

When the rooster crows in the early morning, the girls began to change Liu Tingting's clothes and makeup, combing her hair into a single braid to show her chastity.

The girls combed their hair and sang the traditional "Wedding Song" with tears in their eyes: "Poor girl, you have left the loving mother by the pot village, the brother and sister-in-law at the foot of the hillside, and walked barefoot on the crooked path and ...... away."

In the early morning of the official wedding, while the young men were still sleeping sweetly, the girls surrounded Liu Tingting in a place.

After Ah Niu woke up, there was no trace of the bride, and he searched everywhere, only to find that Liu Tingting was surrounded by many girls, and if she wanted to pass through this line of defense, there was often a "fierce battle":

After the tongue war, the brave Ah Niu rushed to the group of girls with a team of stick boys in the village, hoping to touch the red thread on Liu Tingting's earlobe and snatch the bride.

The girls began to chirp and make a fuss, and the boys tried to break through the wall formed by the girls.

After a while, I saw Ah Niu break through the encirclement, rush to the bride from the weak point of the crowd quickly, and quickly remove the red thread on Liu Tingting's earlobe with his hand, and bursts of cheerful laughter broke out in the crowd.

In the end, Liu Tingting's unmarried sister used aged lard to wipe Liu Tingting's head three times from top to bottom, and then combed it three times with a comb, dividing the single braid into double braids, in order to show that she would end her career as a girl and enter the life of a wife and mother.

This very lively wedding has just come to an end.
