Chapter 2: Marrying
In Li Feng's deep sleep, the voice of the woman who heard the noise seemed to be talking about something with Li Feng's mother at home, occasionally mixed with his father's consent, and the woman's somewhat hoarse voice, as if it sounded like they were happy with each other, and the mother's laughter seemed to have a festive meaning, and Li Feng had no intention of sleeping.
When I came out of the back room, I saw an old man, dressed in plain clothes and with some patches on his body. It looked like a middle-aged lady of forty years old was talking to her mother, and occasionally laughed. The hardships of the countryside have made the sideburns of the forty-year-old lady a little wrinkled.
Li Feng, who was watching, walked out of the back room and smiled slightly: "The longer the second baby, the better this child is, the better he looks, he looks like you."
Li Feng followed his mother for a long time, with a delicate and a somewhat thin body, slightly thin eyebrows, clean cloth clothes, with some slightly long tied up hair, and a shy personality, to the point that he was a little bookish, and he was a little different from some dusty children in the countryside who were covered in dust all day.
Li Feng's mother looked at Li Feng lovingly, pulled Li Feng to her and said, "Feng'er, this is Aunt Wang who lives in the next village."
Li Feng called out shyly: "Hello aunt"
The middle-aged lady then smiled and said: "Auntie, then you quickly pack up, since it is decided, then we will do it for the two children as soon as possible, just tomorrow, I also asked the old people in the village, saying that tomorrow's day is good, it is an auspicious day of the zodiac, I will go back to the two children Zhang Luo Zhang Luo first" Saying that, he got up and left, Li Feng's mother and father got up and sent them out.
The people in the village were poor, so they didn't pay any rules, and they gave gift money earlier, and they could marry on an auspicious day of the zodiac. And this aunt of the Wang family can also get some subsidies, which is also some small gifts given by the matchmaker in the countryside who said that he was an adult.
After coming back, Li Feng's mother looked at her father happily: "Daddy, go and prepare, go to Zhangluo"
Seeing the doubts, Li Feng said: "Feng'er, the aunt in the next village told your eldest brother a daughter-in-law, this time your eldest brother and your father came back, so they did it, the other party is a girl from the next village, and our family is the same surname, and it can be regarded as fate, seeing that your eldest brother is married, my mother is also a lot more relieved."
When you are long, my mother will also tell you a beautiful daughter-in-law, and my mother can rest assured even if she dies" Li Feng's mother looked at her little son, and her face was full of happiness.
The little Li Feng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he was telling himself a child daughter-in-law, after all, although his family's family was not very wealthy, this village could be regarded as the kind of life that could be regarded as passable.
But he was still a little shy and said: "I won't marry, I want to accompany my mother for the rest of my life" smiled and hugged his mother and played with his mother. Li Feng's mother scolded with a smile: "Just your sweet mouth" Li Feng scratched his head with a shy smile.
The next morning, Li Feng's mother and Li Feng's father got up early to be busy, organizing Li Feng's eldest brother's wedding, only to see the small red lanterns hanging high on the shelves built by the village name, row by row, very good-looking. The big red "譆" word sticker, at a glance is the masterpiece of the aunts nearby, pasted all over the corners of the small courtyard, the festive window flower paper-cut has a few village aunts to help cut it, cut one by one, so busy, the red quilt in the house is stacked high, from the inside to the outside a red, jubilant.
Hearing the sound of the horn knocking outside, Li Feng ran out happily, he knew that the eldest brother had picked up the sister-in-law, and only looked at the big horse of Li Feng's family in front of him, Li Qiang, who was on horseback, was walking to the door of the house, Li Qiang got off the horse, and saw Li Feng and said: "Second brother" Li Feng was sincerely happy for the eldest brother.
Then Li Qiang went behind with the red color head, and the aunt in the next village behind greeted the bride in the sedan chair.
"Worship Heaven and Earth"
The custom in the Zilan country is to worship heaven and earth before entering the house, and the wedding belongs to the second baptism, born in heaven and earth, and returned to heaven and earth, after entering the house, it is another family that will give birth to the next generation of life.
Li Qiang and his sister-in-law got up and entered the door after kneeling in the world, and at this time, they knelt down to their parents, who gave birth to and raised themselves, and saw Li Feng's father and mother sitting neatly in the lobby, and today's parents were particularly solemn.
It's in front of the door outside the house. Parents are guarding outside the door, parents are also backers, and parents are also gods who protect their children.
"Second worship in the high hall" Li Qiang and his sister-in-law knelt in front of their parents in a regular manner and kowtowed three times.
"Husband and wife worship each other"
This is the pious hope of every couple, and what goes down is to be grateful, and what is up is to protect. From then on, loyalty and hand in hand to old age are witnesses and prophecies.
With the last sound: "Rite is completed, sent to the cave house" The wedding ended, and the wedding in the village was simple, but not rude, solemn and not strict.
The sound of joy is endless, all of them are uncles, uncles and aunts from a village. Everyone thrives in a village, and they are basically a little bit related to each other. Although they are far apart, they can always climb relatives.
"Congratulations"
Li Feng's parents also thanked their uncles, uncles, and aunts politely
"Thank you, thank you for coming, everyone eat and drink well" Li Feng's father responded happily, with the noise of uncles and aunts, the round table banquet below, the sound of eating and drinking, everywhere, there are the sounds of uncles and uncles punching, there are also talking about all kinds of interesting things, as well as talking about it, and drinking and bragging, it seems that everyone has great ability and ability, and all kinds of laughter are endless.
The aunts are talking about Zhang's family, the Li family is short, what happened to the son of whom, what happened to the grandson, what happened to the grandson, the prowess, the ability, the rich, and it is said that he is an official in the city, which is amazing. All kinds of gossip circulated in my ears, and it seemed as if it was true.
Whether it's true or fake, in short, happy laughter permeates the entire courtyard, and today is a happy day, no boredom, no worries.
Looking at the happy appearance of his father and mother, and looking at the innocent smile of his eldest brother, Li Feng is very happy, this is home.
