On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, it was the big day for Kong Xingjiang and Li Guoying to get married.

The marriage between the two of them, which is different from their previous life, has an extraordinary meaning to Yu Mingyue. And speaking of which, Yu Mingyue is the matchmaker of the two, and she really wants to witness the wedding with her own eyes.

On that day, it was only December 20 in the new calendar, and the school had not yet been on holiday, but Yu Mingyue deliberately asked for leave on this day.

This is the first time Yu Mingyue has asked for leave since she was in junior high school, and when the head teacher Shi Lihua heard the reason, she nodded directly and agreed, and after pulling Yu Mingyue to talk a lot of gossip, she also said that she would go to the wedding banquet at noon, and asked Yu Mingyue if she was welcome.

For this head teacher who has been so powerful in both lives, Yu Mingyue doesn't hate it, but she really doesn't like it, but if Shi Lihua wants to come uninvited, what can Yu Mingyue do, she has to say welcome with a smile.

Early in the morning of the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yu Zhiqing went to Kong Mingfu's house to help before dawn, and Kong Xiaoyu went to Yu Zhifen's house as a guest with Yu Tianxiang on the first day and did not come back.

It's a little strange, but it's easy to understand, because although the groom is Kong Xiaoyu's second brother, the bride is Yu Zhiqing's niece.

After seven o'clock, Yu Mingyue even trained and coaxed, and after rushing her two younger brothers who also wanted to skip class to pick up their relatives to school, she followed Kong Mingying and Yu Tianzhou, who were also dressed very ceremoniously, talking and laughing all the way, and came to Kong Mingfu's house with joy.

Seeing that my grandfather's house was already full of people, and there were already fifty or sixty people just to help, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but I was a little happy.

It is sad that more than six years ago. When her uncle got married, there was no such grand occasion at all. I am happy, but because of the grand occasion in front of me, it once again reflects the improvement and development of the social and economic status of several of their families.

Luo Zhengfen is also happy today, after all, over the years, Li Guoying, who is delicate, dignified, diligent and gentle, is very good at Luo Zhengfen's eyes, and Luo Zhengfen is naturally very satisfied with finding a second daughter-in-law like Li Guoying.

Although it is time to open up the wasteland, everyone is very busy. Kong Xingjiang is not idle in the vegetable business every day. But Luo Zhengfen attaches great importance to this marriage, and Luo Zhengfen basically gave Zhang Luo before and after this happy event.

In the countryside, marrying a daughter-in-law to hold a banquet is different from holding a wedding banquet in the city. Rather, it will take three days.

It starts on the first day of the main day. Relatives and neighbors came to help. Help borrow pots and pans, tables and benches to be used at the banquet (after all, no one has dozens of tables and hundreds of tableware), build a wedding shed in the yard, kill pigs and sheep, and so on.

And the main family, on the same day, will treat these people with good wine and food.

On the same day, not to mention the noon and afternoon banquets. Even if you are stingy, you have to put out at least nine kinds of meat dishes on the table, which is commonly known as nine big bowls in the countryside.

After the feast of the day, the host family will warmly leave those relatives and friends who have come from afar to stay at home for one night.

The next day, we will get more than a dozen tables with good wine and food to entertain these relatives and friends who are left behind, relatives and friends who are very close to each other and neighbors who will come to the banquet and neighbors who help.

After the distant relatives and friends have a hearty breakfast, they will refuse the warm stay of the host family and leave one by one.

And these people who came to help will help the main family clean up at this time, and then return all the borrowed tables and benches one by one, and have an afternoon meal, and this happy event will be completed.

It can be seen from this that this scene is spectacular, how many large and small locks must be before and after, and how busy it must be.

When Yu Mingyue and the three of them entered the door, Luo Zhengfen was in the courtyard, directing the people who had just cut back the cone chestnut branches and pine branches from the mountain to build a wedding shed.

"Grandma." Yu Mingyue had a big smile on her face. Yu Mingyue likes this grandmother, who has slowly become more and more amiable and respectable over the years.

Luo Zhengfen turned his head and saw Yu Mingyue's ancestors and grandchildren entering the door, and the smile on his face did not decrease, but increased a few points.

"Hmm." Luo Zhengfen responded, showing a more kind smile. I didn't think it before, but now she likes this granddaughter who is becoming more and more sensible.

Then he greeted with a smile: "Hehe, eldest sister, you go to the hall and sit and watch TV, today I will work hard for my eldest brother-in-law to be a general manager and help greet the guests by the way." ”

The title of the in-laws is obviously not as close as the cousin. So over the years, not only Kong Mingfu and Luo Zhengfen have called Kong Mingying like this, but even juniors like Kong Xinggang have called Kong Mingying aunt and Yu Tianzhou aunt.

The so-called general manager is actually to help arrange the people who help to take their places, help the host to receive guests, arrange the time for sending relatives, and the time for opening the banquet. When preparing for the wedding, Yu Tianzhou had already agreed to Kong Mingfu and would be the manager today, so he nodded politely at this time.

Kong Mingying also smiled and said: "Hehe, I'll go to the stove room to find something to do, it's all my own family, this happy day is also a busy time, fourth brother and sister, don't be polite to me." ”

Kong Mingying: This is not a kind word. Since Luo Zhengfen changed sex, Kong Mingying has also changed her original disdainful attitude, and she will also talk to Luo Zhengfen about family affairs in her spare time, and the relationship has improved a lot. When several elderly people partner up to open a supermarket, they have more contact and a closer relationship.

Now, the relationship between the two old ladies who didn't treat each other in the early years is a little better than that of ordinary concubines or in-laws.

"It's enough to help these dozens of people today, eldest sister, you will help to pick up your relatives for a while, there is oil and water in the stove, you don't go, you don't have to stain your good clothes."

After speaking, without waiting for Kong Mingying to say anything, he pulled Kong Mingying very enthusiastically and walked to the hall, and pulled Yu Mingyue all the way, making Yu Mingyue so happy that her mouth was almost grinning. Although Luo Zhengfen has changed a lot, he really rarely pulls or hugs Yu Mingyue.

Yu Mingyue watched her grandmother and grandmother walk all the way, laughing all the way, and felt relieved in her heart. Harmony with her family has always been her wish, and now it has finally been achieved.

Because Li Guoying's family is far away and lives in the mountains, a team of more than 30 people went out on time at half past eight.

The wedding car was lent by Sheng Fuming on his own initiative. The township government had just bought a Santara with less than one family, and the driver who drove it was an old acquaintance Zhang Xuedong.

The relatives and friends who picked up the relatives and the older elders all took two vans driven by Kong Xingming and Boss Huang. There were nearly twenty people left, except for Kong Xiaohan and Yu Mingyue who sat in the passenger seat of the big car that Yu Zhiqing drove to pull the dowry, the rest of the people could only stand in the trunk.

Kong Xinggang and Yu Zhizong both drove their own cars today, busy transporting vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, fresh meat and other goods that must be delivered to the supermarket every day.

By cars, vans, cars. A total of four vehicles made up of a pick-up procession. But he could only stop on a dirt road seven or eight miles away from Li Guoying's house. The remaining seven or eight miles were all small mountain roads that climbed up and down the river, and there were no bicycles.

That's why it's a kiss. It's time to come to the young family of nearly twenty people. Because these people are actually here to help carry the dowry.

Although Yu Zhifen's family will not tell Kong Mingfu's family what kind of marriage they have prepared for Li Guoying. But half a month ago, when Yu Zhifen's family went to Xingyueyan to buy the most expensive Nissan refrigerator, a 52-inch Changhong color TV, a four-door wardrobe, a one-meter-eight wide bed and several sets of bedding and other things, Kong Xinggang, who basically stayed in the supermarket every day, was clear.

That day. When Yu Mingyue received the message from Kong Xinggang, she couldn't laugh or cry. Xin said that it would be more troublesome to move these things from the city back to the mountains, and from the mountains to her grandfather's house.

However, in all fairness, even if she knew about it earlier, Yu Mingyue would not dissuade her, because this is the local custom.

Here, not to mention the city, but the custom in the countryside is that before the wedding wine, the man has to give the heroine's family a bride price, and the more money is given, the more it shows that the man attaches importance to the woman.

The woman's family will use this money to purchase miscellaneous things such as electrical appliances, marriage beds, bedding and so on, anyway, the more things, the more valuable, the more face, and the more it can show the woman's attention to the man, and the parents' love for their daughter.

Although it can't be compared to the ten miles of red makeup said in ancient times, the meaning is the same.

After leaving a young man to watch the car on the side of the road, more than 30 people entered the mountain and walked for more than half an hour before they arrived outside the gate of Yu Zhifen's house, which lived in the deep mountains.

In this place, there is no custom of stopping the groom outside the door to embarrass him, and after the team of kisses set off a long string of firecrackers outside the door, the chief manager invited by Yu Zhifen's family shouted loudly: "The man's guests please come in and sit down, and the juniors who help will serve cigarettes and tea." ”

As soon as the manager finished shouting, Li Guoying's elders enthusiastically stepped forward to greet the team and took their seats, and the two young people, one with a cup of brown sugar water on a foreign porcelain plate, and the other with the same ocean porcelain plate, was disassembled and placed in the plate cigarette sticks handed to the male guests.

These are all local customs that have been passed down for many years, so this tea is not actually real tea. In the impression of Yu Mingyue and his wife, the countryside has always used brown sugar water instead of the so-called tea in the mouth of the main pipe, and if you think about it, you will find that this way should be because sugar water can recover the physical strength of guests who come from afar faster than tea.

After Yu Mingyue followed everyone into the door, she symbolically sat on the boards arranged in two rows in the courtyard for a while, then ran to the side with a smile and grabbed Kong Xiaoyu, and went to see the bride Li Guoying who was still hiding in the house.

Li Guoying was hiding in the window and peeking out, when she heard the sound of the door being recommended, she was startled, and hurriedly closed the curtains, but was caught by Yu Mingyue, who rushed in.

Yu Mingyue smiled evilly and quipped: "Hehe, second cousin, you don't have to be so anxious, my second uncle is outside, and you can still run out of your hands, hehe." ”

"Who's in a hurry? I just wanted to close the curtains. Li Guoying said it well, but a slightly dark face was about to drip blood, which was comparable to her red bridal outfit.

Seeing that the second cousin was shy, Yu Mingyue didn't want to let it go, and there was a burst of teasing, Li Guoying was anxious and shy, and she was tickling Yu Mingyue for a while.

Kong Xiaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, and shouted: "Okay, you two, the people outside have heard the joke." After speaking, his finger poked the head of Yu Mingyue, who was out of breath with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "You girl, why are you still called second cousin today, you should be called second aunt." ”

"Oh. Oh, yes. Yu Mingyue's face suddenly realized, and she raised her eyebrows at Li Guoying and smiled evilly: "Hehe, second aunt, you will feel more sorry for my little niece in the future, if you bully me like this again, then I will bully my cousin or ah in the future." ”

Before she finished speaking, she was twisted by Li Guoying on her waist, and Yu Mingyue shouted while hiding: "Haha, the second aunt spares her life, and the niece doesn't dare anymore haha." Mom. Hurry up and let your two siblings let your good daughter go."

"Xiaoyue, if you say that I will ignore you again, little aunt, you should take care of this bad girl." Li Guoying was ashamed and anxious, and wanted to grab this cousin and clean it up. But they couldn't catch anyone at all. I was so angry that I wanted to jump to my feet.

Watching the two laugh. Kong Xiaoyu also couldn't cry or laugh, but when it came to the issue of future titles, Kong Xiaoyu was actually in trouble. Families are busy. Therefore, when discussing marriage, I did not think about deciding on this future name.

Kong Xingjiang is her younger brother, and it is said that Li Guoying will be her younger brother and sister in the future. But Li Guoying is Yu Zhiqing's niece, and she has been called her aunt since she was a child.

After Kong Xiaoyu persuaded the two laughing people, he thought for a while and said: "Actually, we really have to think about this title, according to me, it is right for Xiaoyue to call Guoying your second aunt, you and Xingjiang have children in the future, it is also appropriate to call Xiaoyuesheng cousin and my aunt." As for me and your brother-in-law, Guo Han and Guo Li don't need to change, but Guo Ying, you have to change your name to the eldest sister and brother-in-law in the future, after all"

"Little aunt." After Li Guoying interrupted Kong Xiaoyu's words with a red face, he said embarrassedly: "Actually, a few days ago, my father and my mother also talked about this matter, and they thought that it was better for me and Xingjiang to call each other. ”

After speaking, she talked about the results of her family's discussion. According to Yu Zhifen's two sons, Li Guoying must call Yu Zhiqing his brother-in-law and Kong Xiaoyu his aunt; And Kong Xingjiang also called Kong Xiaoyu and Yu Zhiqing by his eldest sister and brother-in-law.

Yu Mingyue and Dalong Xiaolong naturally call Li Guoying his aunt, but the names of Li Guohan and Li Guoli do not need to change. In the future, Kong Xingjiang and Li Guoying have children, and they will call Yu Mingyue's three sisters and brothers by cousins and cousins.

Although in this way, it will look weird. For example, when Kong Xiaoyu and Yu Zhiqing met Kong Xingjiang and Li Guoying, Kong Xingjiang called Kong Xiaoyu the eldest sister, but Kong Xingjiang's wife called Kong Xiaoyu her aunt.

But I have to say that this idea is good, at least Yu Mingyue thinks it's good. Because in this way, it seems more intimate.

When the three of them had almost told the story of this, the chief steward had already called relatives and friends to dinner in the courtyard. Yu Mingyue and Kong Xiaoyu left the house at this time, because Li Guoying couldn't go out to eat today.

After a sumptuous feast, when the bride said goodbye to her parents, Li Guoying, dressed in a red dress, red pants, red leather shoes, wearing a red flower on her head, and a round mirror on her chest, was accompanied by her two cousins from the house.

Subsequently, followed by Kong Xingjiang, who was dressed in a black suit, black leather shoes, and a red flower pinned to his left chest, they gave tea to Yu Zhifen, who was sitting directly above the wedding shed, and kowtowed.

When these rituals were carried out here, the things that accompanied the marriage had been packed with boxes and tied up ropes with the help of relatives and friends of the Li family, and after a burst of firecrackers, the relatives and the relatives were sent together, a total of more than 50 people, and then they moved and carried them, and they went out of the door to rush out of the mountain.

Yu Tianxiang and Kong Xiaoyu are both in this team, but the two of them are guests who belong to the Li family today.

Although it was all downhill to the mountain, it took only half an hour to come with so many things, but it took nearly two hours to go down the mountain. When the dowry was loaded into the big car that Yu Zhiqing drove, it was already past twelve o'clock at noon.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and when it was over, I rushed back to Caiyun Village. But the four cars could only be parked on the side of the road in front of Yu Mingyue's house, because the cattle road leading to Kong Mingfu's house was only more than one meter wide, and it was full of potholes, and at most motorcycles could be used.

Watching twenty or thirty young people carrying these dowries, walking around and resting, it took nearly half an hour, and before they could move the things to the gate of her grandfather's house, Yu Mingyue, who was walking in the line empty-handed, felt tired and panicked.

Looks like this road has to be repaired. On the one hand, it is easy for my grandfather and uncle to enter and exit. On the other hand, when the barren mountains are excavated to plant fruit trees, it is also convenient to transport saplings and fertilizer. Otherwise, you won't be tired to death by manpower alone.

When she thought so, Yu Mingyue tried hard to recall the expenses spent in her previous life when the village paid for the construction of this road.

But when she faintly remembered the astronomical numbers in her previous life, Yu Mingyue looked discouraged. If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, it probably cost more than one million yuan to build this cattle road from the side of the road to the landlord's grave, which was only two or three kilometers away.

Although in the previous life, when this road was built, it was already in 2000, when the government called for the village to open the road. According to today's price ratio, if you want to build a bullet stone road more than three meters wide like in the previous life, you will have to spend at least hundreds of thousands.

Yu Mingyue knows very well in her heart, don't look at her family now being a well-known rich family in the whole district, but her family really doesn't have so much spare money, and she doesn't have it. Instead, she still owes the bank a loan of 200,000 yuan.

When Yu Mingyue was really upset, she heard a commotion in front of her, and when she raised her head to look, she found that she had followed the team to the door of her grandfather's house. There must have been at least a hundred people standing outside the door at this time, and this voice was the sound of these people talking when they saw the team approaching.

And what attracted these people's talk was undoubtedly the dowry carried by more than 20 young people. After all, in these years, no family has ever given such a dowry to their daughter. For ordinary people, it's great to have a TV in the dowry.

When I got closer, I heard many people talking about how Yu Zhifen's family made a fortune, how generous, marrying a daughter was so generous, and how Kong Xingjiang's family was lucky, Yu Mingyue smiled.

Most people in this world are accustomed to only looking at the surface, and everyone is the same. Not to mention how her second uncle and second cousin really love each other, and how close her grandfather's family and her eldest aunt's family have been over the years, this time, her grandfather's family also gave her eldest aunt's family 28,888 yuan in bride price.

This amount of money, in this year, is enough to build a small two-story building. Moreover, her eldest aunt's family used this money to buy these family makeup, and the rest of the money was directly given to her second cousin, and the expenses for the banquet were all paid by the eldest aunt's family, and she didn't use a penny of this bride price.

Slandering in her heart, seeing the big dragon and the little dragon waiting for her at the gate, the corners of Yu Mingyue's mouth curled, and a big smile was raised.

After a burst of firecrackers, Yu Mingyue's two younger brothers, who were holding hands by her side and chattering, were startled by the black pressure in the courtyard and a large group of people who came to see the hot spot.

It is a little inappropriate to describe it as a group, because at this time, in the long yard of Kong Mingfu's family, which covers an area of more than two acres, there are at least five or six hundred people standing.

After living for two lifetimes, Yu Mingyue really hasn't seen so many guests come to anyone's wedding party.

However, when she thought of the morning, when she heard her grandmother talk about preparing 100 tables of meals with a full plan, Yu Mingyue was also relieved.

There are more than 100 people outside the door, plus the five or six hundred people in the courtyard, which is about 800 people, and there should not be an embarrassing scene where there is no table to serve the guests.

In fact, not only Yu Mingyue was taken aback today, but even Kong Mingfu was also frightened.

Compared with a few years ago, Kong Mingfu knows very well that his family's social circle is much wider and his popularity is wider. Therefore, when preparing for this banquet, Kong Mingfu deliberately planned a full 100 tables with the idea of Ning Duo, otherwise it would be really embarrassing today.

Because today, there are more than 400 families in several production teams in the village, and at least more than half of them have come. Moreover, among these people, except for those who received invitations and were close to them or were originally relatives, the rest of the uninvited villagers' homes only had one or two representatives from each family.

At least dozens of friends who are close to each other when doing business are more particular, and it can also be said that they are not very able to spare time, so basically only one person from each family comes.

"Satsuki."

When Yu Mingyue was about to count the heads, she suddenly heard a familiar voice and called herself again. Just listening to the voice, Yu Mingyue knew that this person was Wang Yang.

Although she still remembered that Wang Yang had helped her in her previous life, she really didn't want to have too much contact with Wang Yang, let alone get too close.

Yu Mingyue couldn't help frowning, and then turned around with a smile, but when she saw the black strong young man who was following Wang Yang, she was instantly petrified, and the smile that had just been raised froze on her face. (To be continued......)
