Chapter 605: Marriage (1)
Although Hao Lanxin was awkward in her heart, she had the "baby kiss" first, and there was the magic weapon of space, so she followed the eldest daughter's wishes. Only in my heart I silently prayed for my eldest daughter and future son-in-law.
Du Jinxia was very happy: Isn't this Chongxi! Tian Qingqing is a god mother and mother, and she has aura on her body, and Chong Chong is happy that her son can get better. He happily informed his relatives and friends and prepared a banquet.
After the work (Note 1) was completed, a heavy snowfall suddenly fell on the 14th night of the lunar month, and the temperature plummeted the next day. Wen Xiaoxu didn't know if it was due to the wind chill or climate change, and his condition suddenly worsened. There was a violent cough and a lot of blood. Even frightened and pickled with urgency, his body was extremely weak. Don't talk about getting up, I don't even have the strength to speak.
This can make the two families anxious. Tomorrow is the day of great joy, relatives and friends are here, how to visit the church to get married?
"Let Xiaomei take the place!" Tian Qingqing built yƬ road.
Xiaomei is Wen Xiaoxu's eldest sister and is nineteen years old this year. I already have a partner, and I want to wait for my brother to get married before I get married.
The younger sister worships the church instead of the elder brother, which has existed since ancient times. All appeared at the wedding when the man was critically ill and carried out the "Chongxi".
"In this way, it's more like Chongxi." Hao Lanxin said gloomily.
"Why don't you just pay a respect, and it will be over in a while." Tian Qingqing disagreed.
In contrast, Wen Xiaoxu's life is much more important than this! Tian Qingqing has to work hard to achieve the goal of getting married.
Thinking about it, there is really no other way to go, and the adults on both sides can only adopt it.
The wedding date went ahead as scheduled.
Sixteen this day. The weather was surprisingly good. The sky after the snow, the air is exceptionally fresh and the sun is shining.
Relatives and friends all know that this is a special wedding, and no matter how busy or idle, they all come on the thick snow.
Wen Qingliang hired two cooks, borrowed a large tarpaulin from the unit, built a large mat shed on the idle house opposite the door, and set up more than 20 tables.
Wen Xiaoxu was still very weak, and he sweated profusely whenever he moved. Afraid of an accident, Du Jinxia didn't let him get up.
Wen Xiaomei wore a blue suit today (because of the ingredient of chongxi. Take the meaning of "stopping"). He wears a corsage with the words "Groom" written on his chest.
According to local customs, the Wen family's carriage came to pick up Tian Qingqing at nine o'clock in the morning. In order to realize Wen Xiaoxu's wish to see her wear a wedding dress, Tian Qingqing wore a white wedding dress today. The weather was too cold, and I wore a big red down jacket to protect myself from the cold.
There are very few people who make trouble on my mother's side. Because the two houses are separated by an alley. I've heard about everything. In the eyes of outsiders. Tian Qingqing is going to "rush to joy". There are more blessings and fewer blessings. Only a few stunned young people asked for a few boxes of cigarettes in the car, and Hao Lanxin took out the candy basket and divided the sugar one by one, so everyone was not embarrassed to kiss.
It's actually just a few steps. But the carriage could not go straight. After going around the village, he stopped at the mouth of the Wen family's alley. was intercepted along the way, and the kisses inevitably sent a cigarette, sprinkled a few handfuls of candy, and let them go.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, a few half-sized men rushed up to pick up Tian Qingqing's shoes. Because the stripped shoes are to be redeemed with money, ranging from ten to twenty yuan each. It is both festive and has a small income for those who pick up shoes.
Tian Qingqing was shrewd and put a pair of long socks on top of her cotton shoes. She didn't feel sorry for the money to redeem her shoes, and if the shoes were taken away, she would have to walk barefoot into the house. Two hundred meters away, if there are other pranks, your feet must be frozen.
I didn't think about it, but I was scolded by the bridesmaid who picked up the kiss: "I don't care whose shoes you pick, and no one can pick up the shoes of the new daughter-in-law today!" ā
"Why?" A half-young man asked.
"Go back and ask your mom!" The bridesmaid sneered and gave him a small shudder.
Several people dispersed in a hurry.
After a burst of firecrackers, Wen Xiaomei came to the front of the car.
Don't look at Tian Qingqing used to come eight times a day, today is the bride, you can't walk into the house, you must have a groom to carry into the house.
Local custom: The groom picks up the bride from the car and walks all the way to the new house, and does not let the bride's feet touch the ground in the middle, because the old people say that it is unlucky. Take the meaning of "feet do not touch the soil, the more you cross".
It's not enough to just hold and walk, but the groom needs to hug in various postures: some ask to take a step and recite a love poem, and some ask the bride and groom to walk a kiss once...... In short, be sure to come up with ways to stop the bride from moving forward.
In winter, this tossing can also make the newcomer sweat. Finally, after the groom arrived at the door of the house with the bride in his arms, he still needed to "call the door". At this time, it is often the groom's sister (cousin or cousin) who is inside against the door, no matter what the groom calls, pretending to be deaf and dumb and unable to hear, until the groom gives them a red envelope that satisfies them, and they will not let the groom in.
Wen Xiaomei is one year younger than Tian Qingqing, slightly shorter than Tian Qingqing, and her physique is not as strong as Tian Qingqing. Let her carry Tian Qingqing to the house from the mouth of the alley, two hundred meters away, it is really not easy to drop!
"I'll put my hand on your shoulder, and I'll make a show." Tian Qingqing said to Wen Xiaomei, who stretched out her hand.
"Okay." The bridesmaid who picked up the bride said, "Anyway, it's all about appearance, just follow the bride's." ā
Wen Xiaomei smiled and turned around.
So, Tian Qingqing put her hand on Wen Xiaomei's shoulder, covered her red head, and followed Wen Xiaomei into the north house. "Calling the door" is a matter that was originally a matter of one's own family, and it is exempted.
Because Wen Xiaoxu didn't get up, and he was afraid that the noise of the people who came to see the bride would disturb him and aggravate his condition, Tian Qingqing was arranged in the mother-in-law's house in Dongli.
When it was almost noon, Zhu Runqi and his parents and sisters came.
Zhu Runqi was accompanied by Tian Qingqing to see Wen Xiaoxu.
When Tian Qingqing introduced Zhu Runqi to Wen Xiaoxu, Wen Xiaoxu stretched out his pale hand, shook Zhu Runqi's hand, and said weakly: "Thank you, you have been an umbrella for Qingqing for more than a year!" ā
Zhu Runqi said emotionally: "I envy you for having such a loyal girlfriend!" Oh, it's time to talk about your wife today. I can see that she only has you in her heart. No matter what happens, you are the happiest one in the world. ā
Wen Xiaoxu nodded: "It's a pity that I can't give her happiness." As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Qingqing beside Zhu Runqi: "Qingqing, your eyesight is good, he is very handsome, and his face is loyal, which is worth ......."
Tian Qingqing hurriedly interjected and interrupted him: "My godmother and they are also here, and I will let them come over later." When you see it, you will know why I want to admit my godfather. (To be continued)
