Chapter 8: Rite of Success
July 18 is a good day, today is the wedding day of Ye Zi and Han Xiao.
Since yesterday, the Ye family has been busy. The old lady spent 20 yuan to invite the chef from the next village to hold a banquet, and the banquet made the best eight bowls plus a few serious cold dishes and stir-fried vegetables. Because she wanted to make this banquet sufficient, Mrs. Ye specially allowed to kill the largest pig to do it, and took out all the potatoes and eggs saved, the old lady has made a lot of money, the reason why she is so willing to be the first this time is that Ye Zi's family conditions are good, not only will the village chief come to attend the wedding tomorrow, but also I heard that the town mayor will come; Second, this eldest grandson should be admitted to college and celebrate, this is a seat for dual use, but it is still a gift, if you receive two gifts, others will laugh at it.
Early that morning, Ye Zi was woken up by Cuifen very early to get up and put on makeup. Cuifen invited Aunt Wang, who has the best craftsmanship in the village, to come over, first opened her face, Aunt Wang first smeared a little special fine lime powder on Ye Zi's face, and then took out a cotton thread, biting it with her mouth in the middle, holding the two ends with two gloves, forming a crossed triangle, and then twisting around Ye Zi's face, there were many people in the house, Ye Zi didn't dare to scream in pain, after a while, the hair was plucked, the eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and the face was smooth and whiter than the original. Ye Zi raised his hand and touched his face, smooth and delicate, but now his face was a little hot and painful, he looked in the mirror, his pink and red face was pouting, festive! Aunt Wang gave a smooth bun again, and a fake red flower on the side, with the big red dragon and phoenix cheongsam brought by the Han family, Ye Zi's already developing body was barely concave and convex in the cheongsam, and he almost couldn't recognize himself when he sat in front of the mirror.
Cuihua talked to her for a long time last night, and it was all Cuihua talking, and she sometimes listened to that sentence, but she couldn't understand many of them anyway. She also thought about it a lot, she was killed before she got married in her previous life, this is the first time she got married, she was not nervous at all, but she was a little worried about going to a new environment, so she didn't fall asleep, fortunately she got up early in the morning, and after an hour or two, her eyes didn't look swollen.
She thought that there should be a piece of clothing on the outside of the cheongsam, but when Cuihua told her that she was gone, she panicked. She has never exposed her arms outside, and these calves are all exposed, and her thighs can be seen when she walks around, what kind of clothes is this, it is even more revealing than the girl in Yihong Courtyard, isn't this Han family a rich family, how can she get such a small fabric, how can she wear it?
"Silly." Cuihua looked at Ye Zi lovingly, "This is the most fashionable style for marriage in the city, others can't buy it if they want to wear it, this is all made by the Han family at a great price." ”
"Mom, what do you mean when these arms and legs are exposed, how can you tell me to wear them?" Ye Zi was still a little uncomfortable, her two palms were neatly attached to her thighs, and at this moment her mother Cuihua brought another pair of red shoes, the back was higher than the front, she couldn't walk in her clothes, she could only barely stand firmly.
"Mom, look at me like this, I must make a joke today, or I should wear my cloth shoes, right?" Ye Zi took two steps on the ground, and it was really laborious to walk, so he prayed like a green flower.
"Hehe, while there is still time, you can practice by yourself, you haven't watched TV, isn't Feng Chengcheng in "Shanghai Tang" played some time ago dressed like this? Look how beautiful they are! If you wear cloth shoes with a cheongsam, you must not be laughed at by the villagers, stupid, besides, you don't wear the shoes given by the Han family, you go to wear your cloth shoes, what do you call the Han family to think, isn't it sweeping people's faces? There are many little daughters-in-law in the village who envy you. Cuihua laughed no matter what she said, and she was really happy today.
"Mom, where's my hijab?" Ye Zi asked a topic where the emerald flowers were going to laugh.
"You've watched too much TV, right?" Cuihua said, and then laughed, "Aunt Wang, you see that this child still thinks it's the past, and he's still looking for a hijab." ”
"Mom, here, here." Ye Qiu shouted as he ran, "The married car is here, there are six in total, each with a big red flower made of red satin, and my brother-in-law is sitting in the front." ”
"Ah, they're all here." Cuihua immediately changed her face, she suddenly couldn't bear it, this daughter who has been raised for more than ten years is someone else's daughter-in-law today. In the future, this daughter of hers will learn to serve her in-laws, husband and children, just like her. Today's daughter is a real adult, and when she is not by her side in the future, she has to make up her own mind about everything, and she can't help her anymore. She's married so far away that she's going to have to take a few hours to get a glimpse of it.
Looking at Cuihua looking like she was about to cry, Ye Zi suddenly thought of her mother, she would never see the day she got married again, if she could see it, she would probably cry, right? It's going to be very reluctant, right? Thinking about it, his eyes were foggy, and he couldn't see the green flowers in front of him clearly.
"Look at me, what are you crying on this day of great joy?" Cuihua hurriedly wiped the tears that were about to fall, "Ye Zi, you must not cry today, if you cry, you will not be happy in this life." ”
When Ye Zi heard this, he quickly blinked his eyes, blinked his tears in a few times, and then looked at Cuihua and smiled.
"Oh, Mom, my brother-in-law is here, have you dressed up your eldest sister, and your eldest sister's corsage hasn't been worn yet." Ye Qiu hurriedly urged, "Mom, my sister hasn't brought a corsage yet." ”
"Yo, look at my memory." Cuihua immediately opened the cabinet and took out the red flowers, and asked Aunt Wang to put them on.
Crackling, crackling, firecrackers, the wedding car arrived, it was the groom's motorcade arrived. This is still the pomp and circumstance that only rich families have, like their rural marriage here is the easiest, the nearest one is used to go, and if it is really far away, charter a bus to pick up the bride.
The old lady and her two sons hurriedly went out to greet them, and the car parked outside surrounded the children. In the past eight or nine years, tractors have been seen the most in rural areas. Han Xiao was dressed in a straight military uniform and entered the gate of the Ye family surrounded by several buddies.
When the village chief saw Han Xiao and the town mayor coming in, he quickly stood up and went to greet the Ye family. At this time, the relatives and daughters of the family also pushed Ye Zi out, she pulled the door frame alive and did not let go, it was simply unethical to dress like this, and she had to die of shame when she wanted to go out! Where can a person pull a group of people, she was pushed out without much resistance, and she was exposed to everyone at once. All of a sudden, there was silence in the courtyard, and then cheers rang out, and Ye Zi's face was as red as an autumn apple.
Han Xiao was also amazed, looking at Ye Zi who was wearing cheongsam and high heels, this fairy-like woman will be his Han Xiao's wife in the future, is this considered a golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest? He was hit by Po.
"Han Xiao, your baby head has found a treasure." Han Xiao's buddies were also amazed, and joked, and then a few people pushed him forward, and the groom stepped forward, so they could follow and see the bride clearly.
The daughter of the Ye family didn't know what to do when she saw where Ye Zi was standing, so she pushed it again, Ye Zi pounced forward, Han Xiao stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, and there was another burst of laughter and jokes. Ye Zi felt that he couldn't see anyone anymore, and struggled to get out of Han Xiao's arms, but this person's arms and body were like pieces of iron, and he couldn't break free at all. She really couldn't step on it, and Han Xiao let go of her after being in pain.
"It's auspicious, it's time to worship." At this time, I don't know who shouted, this procedure should have been completed at the man's house, but because Ye Zi was not old enough to be swaggering, the man would not hold a banquet. It's just that after visiting the church today, I went to the man's side and pulled the marriage certificate.
Han Xiao stepped forward and took the shy Ye Zi's hand, entered the hall, and in the laughter of everyone, under the witness of the matchmaker and marriage witness of the mayor, he worshiped the parents of heaven and earth in the blessing of everyone, and became the closest person in the future.
After worshipping the church, the table was opened, and several of Han Xiao's buddies could be regarded as a great help, all of them were masters of drinking, and Han Xiao was spared from getting drunk. Thirty tables were set up, divided into two rounds. Han Xiao took Ye Zi's hand and toasted the relatives one by one, Ye Zi's parents whispered next to him who it was and who it was, until Ye Zi was dizzy in the end, and then in Cuihua's reluctant eyes, in the envious eyes of relatives and friends, Han Xiao hugged Ye Zi and entered the car.
Sitting in the car, Ye Zi looked at the scenery outside the window and felt that he was simply dreaming, this thing called a car was much more stable than a carriage, and it ran fast. Han Xiao next to him kept holding Ye Zi's hand, a little drunk, he was drunk. Ye Zi felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, and he pulled his hand, but he couldn't pull it out, he was so anxious that his palms were sweating, Han Xiao felt her nervousness, and deliberately picked her palms with his fingers, and she didn't dare to move all of a sudden. Han Xiao hooked the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and pretended to rest.
A few hours later, when they arrived in the city, the convoy stopped on the side of the road and dismantled the big red flower and left with the married, and finally only the one Ye Zi was sitting in was left. Han Xiao found a hotel and asked Ye Zi to change into regular clothes and wash his face, before continuing to go home, and entered the military compound half an hour later.
Han Xiao took Ye Zi's hand and entered the door, and entered the house to kowtow to his grandfather, grandmother, and parents, and this marriage was really over. Fortunately, she didn't want to have too many people, and she was afraid of seeing too many people without understanding, and the Han family didn't say it to people outside in order to keep a low profile, so both parties were not disappointed.
"What? It's not too late to start nervous. Looking at Ye Zi, who was sitting on the bed trembling a little, Han Xiao deliberately leaned in.
