Chapter 192: Propaganda Corridor
In the afternoon, Ye Caiping's mother and the matchmaker's mother-in-law and sister-in-law also came, according to the rules, it was Chu Jiaqiang and others who went over to discuss marriage, but Ye Caiping's mother Shen Qian didn't care much about this, so she looked forward to Chu Jiaqiang and the two getting married as soon as possible, and then giving birth to two children.
The second uncle and the second aunt immediately put down everything at hand and pulled Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping to stay at home. Chu Jiaqiang has no parents, and there are only two of them. The marriage of the nephew, they naturally will not be careless.
"Let's start with the birthdays of the two of them!" Sister-in-law Ma said that she was very happy in her heart, this single parent thing was done, and she could retire with honor.
Chu Shengmin also found the old man in the village who was the best at watching the day, and gave Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping the best time. Ye Caiping's mother and second uncle hurriedly took out the birthdays of the two juniors and showed them to the "masters".
Usually, when choosing an auspicious day for marriage, especially in rural areas, the auspicious date of marriage is generally calculated according to the birth date of both men and women. The so-called men and women are divided into eight types of marriages according to the cooperation of the house and the stars, namely prolonging life, anger, heavenly doctor, subdued position, six evils, five ghosts, scourge, and death.
Of course, Chu Jiaqiang didn't understand these things, and Ye Caiping even treated the old man as a god. It's just that parents on both sides believe this, and no one can do anything, so they just want to feel at ease. This thing is often believed and believed, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it! It depends on how you treat it, you can say that superstition is okay, and it is indeed superstition.
I saw that the old man took out an old book, and Chu Jiaqiang saw that it was a copy of "The Auspicious Day of the Zodiac", which was really impressive.
Ye Caiping is better, as a woman, she pays less attention to aspects. Chu Jiaqiang can't do it, the old man not only asked about his parents' birthdays and death dates, but even had to dig out the information of his grandparents and take a few looks, which really made Chu Jiaqiang depressed.
Everyone quietly waited for the verdict of the old man, not daring to disturb. The old man flipped for more than ten minutes. I looked at the details such as whether the zodiac signs of the two were in conflict, and finally said: "Both of them have very good birthdays, and there are two good days today, one is in mid-October and the other is in late November, you choose one first." Wait a minute, I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to on the day you chosen, and that's pretty much it. ”
Ye Caiping's mother and Chu Jiaqiang's second uncle and aunt didn't think about it, so they immediately chose the former. And Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping chose the latter. This is the difference between the thinking of young people and their elders. The elders all hope that the younger generations will get married as soon as possible, while the young people choose more time to prepare and handle their marriages properly.
"Let's take November! I can't rush this matter, I haven't bought a car yet, etc. It takes a little time to prepare. Chu Jiaqiang said.
Parents on both sides heard this, and this does make some sense, after all, life events should be well prepared.
"Well, November is November! In-laws, what do you think? Chu Shengmin asked Shen Qian. Shen Qian had no choice but to nod, she only had one daughter, and she felt a little sorry for her daughter after she got married hastily.
The old man understood everyone's meaning, and then said all the issues that needed to be paid attention to on the wedding day. The gods need to be announced, and so on.
At the end, Chu Shengmin hurriedly gave the old man who watched the day and the matchmaker's wife a big red envelope each. This time, he made a lot of money, and each red envelope was 600 yuan, which was a great kindness to 66 Shun. He is not stingy with his nephew's marriage. And Ye Caiping's mother is the same. It is a tradition to give each of you a red envelope.
For these heavyweight red envelopes, the old man and sister-in-law Ma who chose the day were naturally quite satisfied. Chu Jiaqiang's second aunt went out to pick vegetables and the like, and everyone had a meal later.
Ye Caiping's mother wanted to go to Chu Jiaqiang's house to have a look, and Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping naturally had to accompany her. Sister-in-law, they didn't go. Chu Shengmin stayed as a companion.
On the way, Chu Jiaqiang found that the propaganda pavilion that began construction yesterday had been built. Now the old village chief, Ding Jianhui and others are busy putting up some posters. Profile information, etc.
These kiosks are dedicated to the protection of animals and plants, and all the wildlife protected creatures found in them will be posted on them, and pictures, including the current status of the creatures, their habits, their rarity, etc., are listed. It is not only for the villagers of Chujiazhai to publicize, but also for the tourists who come here to travel.
The propaganda pavilion stands on the side of the road, hundreds of meters long, and has become a landmark building in Chujiazhai. It is like a cultural corridor, with a lot of knowledge pasted on it, attracting the attention of many villagers and tourists. According to the old village chief and Chu Jiaqiang, the cost of this propaganda kiosk is more than 100,000.
"Village Chief, Dean Ding, Professor Wen, you are very busy! Would you like to help? Chu Jiaqiang asked.
The old village chief seemed to know that the Chu family had chosen the wedding date today, and waved his hand and said, "No need, there are so many people in the village, we need to call them at any time." Have you chosen your wedding date? When the time comes, I will officiate your wedding and let the second child cook for you. ”
"Huh! It turns out that Xiao Chu chose the wedding date today! What are the days? Let's see if we get a chance to have a few drinks. Ding Jianhui said with a smile.
Although he is engaged in science, Ding Jianhui is not good at talking about people's feudal superstitions and the like when it comes to marriage in the countryside, but he feels that it is very traditional. Unlike in the city, they almost forget about their own domestic weddings, and blindly pursue Western "auditoriums, wedding dresses, priests" and so on.
Ye Caiping hurriedly thanked her mother and announced the wedding date, and she also had great respect for the old village chief and these scientists.
"Thank you, village chief! This propaganda corridor is so long, is there so much to post? Chu Jiaqiang felt a little thunderous and imagined the feeling of engineering, and thought that there was no need to be so extravagant and wasteful, right? So far, there are so many kinds of protected things, do you need to find a propaganda kiosk for such a long time?
Ding Jianhui said with a smile: "This propaganda corridor is still temporary, Yunkai Mountain is so big, and no one can tell the rare creatures in it." As far as I know from the elders in your village, there are no less than 50 species of protected animals, and the plants are not clear yet. Coupled with a top-notch protected animal like the South China tiger, this corridor is not an exaggeration. I have a hunch that it may be longer in a few days. ”
His speculation was not unreasonable, and the person who entered the mountain had just sent back some wireless information. They're still on the very edge, and they're still able to communicate wirelessly. According to the information sent back by the expedition team, the number of rare creatures has increased to more than 100, including more than 30 species of the second level and five species of the first grade.
