Chapter 717 [Wedding Adventure: The Gift of Relatives]

Of course, the people who can come to Ram's house to attend the wedding are all relatives on Ram's side, and there are enough people, and all seven aunts and eight aunts are here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone has helped the Ram family to prepare all the things for the wedding, after all, Hinduism attaches great importance to the first marriage, and the first marriage is also the most solemn and sacred.

There is a strange rule in India, that is, when two young people get married, the woman will marry the man with a rich dowry to live. Although India's economy has developed well in recent years, the issue of dowry for daughters in remote rural areas is still the most worrying thing for parents, in these remote rural areas. What should we do if we can't afford a rich dowry? Human beings have the strongest sense of creation.

The parents couldn't prepare their daughter's dowry, so they began to mobilize their own relatives, which was equivalent to the same as when Huaxia got married. Those relatives have donated generously, with more cash if the conditions are good, and some gifts for the daughters of their relatives if the conditions are not good, and the dowry for the daughters of their relatives has been formed for thousands of years, and everyone will silently abide by them.

Even though the conditions of the Ram family are good, the relatives still abide by the traditions that have been held since ancient times, just like now. Ram took his eldest son and sat at the door of his house, with chairs and tables in front of the door, and a small notebook in his hand. It was like two doormen who sat at the gate from more than 6 o'clock in the morning.

Each of the relatives who came to the wedding came to Ram's house one after another, and then the male head of the family would come to Ram and his eldest son. Then he took out an envelope from his bosom, the size of the envelope was slightly larger than the Indian rupee, so that it could hold the cash, and the envelope full of cash was handed to Ram and his eldest son.

Then the father and son stood up together to say hello and hug each other and shake hands, and then something shocked Yang Yong appeared. Ram and his eldest son actually opened the envelope in front of the guests, and then began to check the money as if nothing had happened, after checking the amount of money of these people. Ram's son would keep a record in his little notebook of who gave the money, how much money it was, what kind of relatives had unmarried children in the family, and so on.

When the children of these relatives with cash get married, Ram will return to each other with the same gift money at noon, and the gifts will be exchanged. Helping each other to help the poor girls with their dowries can make their lives better in their husbands' houses, and the gifts for the men are cash, and the gifts for the women are much more wonderful. There are almost all kinds of everything, from clothing, food, drink, to kitchen supplies, pots and pans, almost all the life contents of a newlywed couple are almost all included.

For example, the sisters of Ram's wife, who gave their nieces all very graceful Indian saris. This is the favorite outfit of Indian girls, and it is also the most gorgeous outfit that can be worn on the body to reflect the graceful figure of the girls. The eldest aunt prepares a few sets, the second aunt prepares a few sets, and these Indian saris prepared by the sisters of the girl's mother alone are enough for the needs of the girl for a few years after she gets married.

Of course, gifts are also given because the conditions of the family vary from person to person, and some relatives who are a little worse will try their best not to embarrass themselves. So the gifts are also varied, such as your family difficulties, but you want not to lose face, so you have to send some practical tools. For example, it is very common in India to draw clay pots for water, and if the family is financially affordable, the gift is a jar made of red copper.

With the development of India's economy in recent years, the relatives have become wealthy one by one, so the gifts they give are also very advanced. For example, this machine sent a vacuum cleaner, that relative sent an electric fan, and Yang Yong even saw many people send seven or eight brand new gas canisters. Good guys, these gas canisters are almost in time bombs in the sun in the yard, and I don't know what these people think, I don't know if there is gas in these gas canisters.

Stacking all the gifts under the shed outside for all the guests to see is a two-purpose way to do this. The first is to see what kind of gifts the relatives have given? Let's compare with each other, how much do you give, how much do I give? Of course, the kind of face that is given away is welcomed by everyone, and this is a matter of face.

The second function is to play a reminder role, prompting the relatives who give the gift to see what the host has received when giving the gift. If you have a little condition at home, you will see that the things given by others are the same as your own, and then you will not go into the yard. Immediately return with your family to the market or shopping mall, buy some gifts that no one else has given, and then come back again.

In addition, the Ram family is a famous local family, and there are too many members of the whole family, so the gifts sent are almost piled up. Not to mention that a newlywed couple can't use up these things, even five newlywed couples, so why do relatives insist on sending these things. There is also an open secret here, that is, if the newlyweds have a mother-in-law or father-in-law above, then congratulations, the young couple does not have any right to speak at home, and it is impossible to call the shots.

If you are lucky enough that the man's family does not have parents and elders, then the life of the younger couple is a little better, but the economic conditions are not as good as those with parents who are still alive. But when you get married, you should start a family life, whether it is a relative of the man's family or a relative of the woman's family, they are all relatives of the younger couple.

There is no such thing as family planning in India, so there are many children in every family, large and small. The more children there are, the more cordial there will be, the more marriages, the younger couple has no economic foundation, and life is tight, but the cousins of the relatives get married. You older brothers and sisters are not good at coming empty-handed, so what should you do at this time? The usefulness of the gifts you received when you got married is highlighted.

Choose a few of these useless gifts that are more practical and give them as gifts to the children of those relatives who are married. In this way, the face will not be saved, the wisdom formed over thousands of years is not as simple as it seems, and there are many truths in it. An ancient civilization is an ancient civilization, and the traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years are not all dregs, but also the essence.

Yang Yong is an authentic Chinese-American, and this time he came to India to attend the most traditional Hindu wedding, which can be regarded as an eye-opener. Sitting under the pergola while drinking tea and smiling and observing some strange rules in India, I felt very novel. This feeling is like watching the animal world in the Discovery Channel, and the desire to learn occupies the entire Yang Yong's brain.

After a morning of disturbance, the process of these relatives giving gifts and money was completed, and then the kitchen of the Ram family formed a battlefield. The seven aunts and eight aunts would help the women of the Ram family make lunch, so that the guests would have enough to eat and drink so that they would have the strength to sing and dance.
