226. Antique wedding
As soon as Chen Jun told his mother about the news of his return home and marriage, his mother was so happy that she never closed her mouth. It's just a dream with a smile. Chen Jun's mother is not only very happy, but also even more idle.
Not only did she not be idle, but she also mobilized Chen Jun and their seven aunts and eight aunts to help clean up. Although Chen Jun doesn't plan to live at home, after all, it's also a big deal to get married? You have to clean up anyway.
What's more, she is still a girl from the city, and she is very particular about everything. No matter what, they can't let people down, right? What's more, rural people pay more attention to getting married to Xu Su. Things are also more complicated. Not like the city people.
As long as there is money, a phone call. Someone will do everything for you. But the countryside is different. Even if you have money, no one will do it for you, even if someone does it for you. It doesn't necessarily match your intentions.
Therefore, in addition to mobilizing relatives to help clean up, Chen Jun's mother was also very busy. After three days of busy work, Chen Jun's mother finally led everyone to get the result.
A clean and tidy courtyard and two newly furnished wedding rooms. Spotlessly clean furniture. The bright red lanterns and delicate happy characters completely bring out the festive atmosphere. Now it can really be said that everything is in place, only Chen Jun and Yao Jiaxin are back.
For this reason, Chen Jun's mother either called or stood at the entrance of the village and waited. If it weren't for Daoyuan, she would have wanted to go to the station in the town and wait. While Chen Jun's mother was anxiously waiting, Chen Jun's cousin drove Chen Jun and Yao Jiaxin back.
Mother Chen suddenly held Yao Jiaxin's hand with tears in her eyes, and she didn't know what to say. Chen Jun was puzzled and asked, "Mom." What's wrong with you? You're all right, are you? ”
"Hey, stupid boy. What else can I do but be happy? Chen Jun's mother still held Yao Jiaxin's hand and said with disgust.
"No, I'm glad you wiped some tears?" Chen Jun still asked in confusion.
"Mom, I'm so happy and excited. Mom, slow down. Yao Jiaxin persuaded Chen Jun and said while supporting Chen's mother.
"Hey, okay. Do you hear that? It's still the heart of the girl's mother. This stupid boy doesn't understand anything. I won't tell you. I told my daughter. Mother Chen said coquettishly as she took Yao Jiaxin's hand and walked back.
"It's a good feeling! Catch up with Ming'er and ask Jiaxin to give you a few more daughters. Chen Jun smiled helplessly and muttered quietly.
"Y-What are you talking nonsense? In front of so many people. Yao Jiaxin glared at Chen Jun fiercely, and said shyly.
"Yes. It's not up to you to give birth to a girl, boy. The stupid boy was stunned with joy. Let's go home. Sensei took care of him. Chen Jun's mother took Yao Jiaxin's hand and walked home.
In the midst of cheers and bursts of suona and firecrackers, the wedding of Chen Jun and Yao Jiaxin was held as scheduled in accordance with the strong customs and traditions of western Henan. According to the meaning of Chen Jun's mother and Yao Jiaxin's parents. Just be thrifty and festive.
For this. Chen Jun and Yao Jiaxin took a lot of effort. Finally, with the consent of both parents, they adopted the traditional way of sitting in a sedan chair and riding a horse to get married. Early in the morning, Yao Jiaxin was dressed up by the people of the wedding company as a person wearing a red wedding robe.
The princess of the Tang Dynasty with a towering bun on her head, a golden hairpin and earrings with classical characteristics. Chen Jun has also become a head-to-toe Yanran, a Tang Dynasty horse-style dress. When Chen Jun rode a tall horse and wore a big red flower in front of him.
Yao Jiaxin was sitting in a big red sedan chair. The sedan chair drivers of the wedding company shook one step at a time, three steps and flashed. It's more choppy than a roller coaster. Yao Jiaxin in the sedan chair had to grit her teeth and endure it.
After all, this is the custom of this way of getting married. According to this custom, it is auspicious. Even if it's a bit superstitious. But no one can say much on the big day.
Finally arrived at Chen Jun's door. Yao Jiaxin breathed a sigh of relief. But some of the customs after getting off the sedan chair were enough for her. What crossed the bench, jumped into the sea of fire, and so on.
But. There is a slight benefit. It's not her alone. It was when Chen Jun took her out of the sedan chair and hugged her to leave. In front of them, there is a long bench that is constantly shaking. Let Chen Jun carry her and step over.
It's okay if the bench is stationary. But the bench was shaking up and down, left and right. If they want to pass such a bench safely, they have to work together to cross it together. It's a test for them.
Fortunately. The villagers in Chen Jun's family all considered that they were from the city. It wasn't too hard for them, it was just pointed. Jumping into the sea of fire is relatively simpler than that. It's just a symbolic lighting of a fire.
Chen Jun originally thought that Yao Jiaxin would be annoyed by these strange customs, and even irritated. But what he didn't expect was that Yao Jiaxin was full of curiosity about these. Chen Jun was relieved to carry her and walked home.
The most important thing about the wedding here is not to worship heaven and earth, but to worship ancestors. That is, before worshipping heaven and earth, you have to burn incense and worship your ancestors in front of the ancestral tablet in the main house. And when worshipping ancestors, everyone is very serious and solemn.
There is no festive atmosphere just now. It's as if everyone is doing something sacred. However, ancestor worship is inherently sacred. After this process is over, it is time to worship heaven and earth. In this link.
People are back in a festive mood. Even the children who had just been taken away were allowed to come back and frolic. After worshipping heaven and earth and toasting, there is only the night of the haunted room. This custom was originally a favorite part of the young people.
But when it comes to Chen Jun and them, it can only mean to the point. On the one hand, Chen Jun is not familiar with the young people in their village. The other is that Yao Jiaxin is from the city. Can't get used to this custom.
Therefore, they can't go too far. But there must still be a necessary link. For example, eating raw dumplings, sprinkling peanuts, etc. These customs, if you know how to do them, will suffer less. If you meet someone like Yao Jiaxin who doesn't know anything.
That's miserable. For example, eating raw dumplings. Those who know the rules shout even if they eat cooked dumplings. In this way, everyone will not give them raw dumplings anymore. But Yao Jiaxin doesn't understand? She had just taken a bite of the dumplings.
The people in the cave room asked, "To give birth or not?" ”
"Not raw?" Yao Jiaxin immediately replied. Now she was miserable, and asked her family to change a bowl of raw dumplings. It's really miserable for her. Fortunately, everyone is up to the point. As long as she shouts life.
Just change the project of the next haunted house. When everyone left in the laughter of hip-hop and laughter. Yao Jiaxin pouted with tears and laughter. Chen Jun hurried to coax. Yao Jiaxin asked in disgust:
"What kind of strange customs are these? The dumplings are so raw. It also made people eat ??????."
"Shhhhhhh You'll be upset! Okay baby, it's all over. It's all wrong. In fact, everyone just wants to be auspicious and look forward to a happy and festive life. However, these are all cultural roots??????"
"Huh? No, isn't it? There are cultural roots in this?????"
"Not really. It's like going into a cave room. In the land of China, isn't it like this everywhere? It's just that these are just customs on our side. For example, those who cross the bench and jump into the fire at noon.
It is to warn us that marriage is not easy to come by! Don't just cherish it! It is also necessary to share the weal and the woe. Those who ate raw dumplings just now mean that they were born early and their families are prosperous. It's all been passed down for thousands of years. ”
"Really? Then it's all antique. Yao Jiaxin said with a somewhat mocking smile.
"According to you, I married an antique-level wife?"
"You, you????? Not as careful as you! Yao Jiaxin was embarrassed and embarrassed, and Chen Jun, who was also making fun of her.
"Hahaha????? I mean, you're my baby. Come on, baby. Chen Jun was happy as he hugged Yao Jiaxin in his arms. (To be continued......)
