Happy Events II 6
The young man was the first to pant and rushed to the Tao family, and at the gate of the Tao family, a group of people were gathering eagerly. The fence wall made of branches and wooden poles, the wooden stakes on both sides of the gate nailed by wooden boards, the word double happiness in big red are pasted, a firecracker is provoked on a wooden pole, and several double rings are waiting on both sides. In the cleaned yard, there is an apricot tree with two pots of thick and thin branches, the branches are luxuriant, and the attractive red apricots have not long passed the time when the branches are trembling, and there are still a few stranded on the branches of the trees in the high places. The benches under the trees were also full of people, men and women, young and old, and on the tables were placed cigarettes, teapots, cups, sweets, and melon seeds. The three stone and mud stacked houses appear to be very simple, with no tiles on the houses, and are smoothed with loess mixed with thatch. In fact, in the whole village, except for the three families of Wu, Lin and Yang, there is no single house built of bricks and tiles, which is considered good. There is also a striking red character "囍" on the window of the west room, adding to the festive atmosphere.
"I'm back, the bride is here!"
"The new daughter-in-law is here, take a look!"
"Go out and meet you!"
This good news is enough to make anxious people feel relieved.
In the crowd, Tao Qisheng glanced at his wife Qiu Lanzhi beside him, and said with emotion: "Thank God!" Finally, the journey was safe, and there was no delay. Quick, quick, give these kids candy! ”
He was tall and thin, with a pair of glasses on his nose, probably a little short-sighted, and he looked a little urbane and bookish, and his appearance was still handsome, and he must have been a dashing figure when he was young. There is a very inconspicuous scar on the face, which is said to have been left when he was a child (but the scar left a little-known story, which is an incurable scar for him), he and his wife Qiu Lanzhi are in harmony, his wife's height is only as high as he reaches the armpit, some small and delicate appearance, but the person is also delicate, although the person is middle-aged, it can also be seen that he was a beautiful embryo when he was young.
And Qiu Lanzhi was already in tears at this time, and said: "Seventy or eighty miles, it's really not easy to rush back, if you want to get up early and be greedy for darkness, you really have to thank those four young men!" Children, come here, I'll give you candy to eat! ”
As soon as she heard that there was candy to eat, several children rushed forward to surround Qiu Lanzhi, and she took out the candy from her pocket and distributed it evenly among the children one by one.
Finally, a stone fell to the ground!
The person who helped to get to know the guests was Tao Qisheng's distant cousin Tao Qiyue. In addition, in the past two days, the neighbors of the East and West Courtyards, Ruan Qingfang and Meng Wanpeng, have also helped out, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Among them is also a handsome widow, who is sincerely busy with all the trivial chores, brushing the pot and stove, stir-frying and cooking.
The people who received the relatives and the people who sent the relatives entered the village, and the people came forward to greet them, and for a time there was laughter and laughter.
Then, firecrackers rang out in unison, and gongs and drums were noisy. The joyful atmosphere of blowing and blowing makes the long-quiet mountain village a little lively.
The bridegroom, who was covered with a red hijab, lifted her up by the waist, stepped over the sprinkling of grains on the ground and a burning brazier, and entered the cave under the stars and the moon. So, began to worship the flower hall, this experience does not need to be detailed, it is nothing more than a worship of heaven and earth; Two worship high halls; Three husbands and wives worship each other, and four are sent to the cave house (in fact, those who lack a house and a few houses are in the cave house). The person who presided over the ceremony was Cheng Fengdong, and the guest was Tao Qiyue.
The Tao family killed pigs and sheep in advance, smoked wine, tea, sugar, chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables and other items were sold by Wu Long and Wu Feng from the county town in a carriage, and a few tables of sumptuous banquets were prepared, and the people who came to congratulate the village were entertained. In fact, the Tao family is just trying to be lively, and I don't want to make much money from it. Only Wu Jinfu wrote a Wu Shiyuan on behalf of a big family, and in terms of the status and wealth of the Wu family, it is not public. The person who wrote the gift account was Meng Guoan, and there were few people in the village who could read and write, and some of them could not write calligraphy. On the table of the ceremonial account, there are four treasures of the study, as well as tobacco, tea, sugar and melon seeds, which makes Meng Guoan's body exude a little elegance. He was sitting on a chair, holding a cigarette roll in his fingers, slowly sending melon seeds to his mouth, looking at the bustling people, with a little pride in his heart. He is in his thirties, and he looks decent. There is also a middle-aged man sitting at the table, one of the Tao family's aunts who came together at noon today, and Tao Zhenkun's second uncle Miao Keyan, he was arranged by Tao Qiyue to collect money here, and these two people sometimes chat a few words.
Happy events, for those who add glory and joy, you can't care about it. Harmony makes money, a classic saying since ancient times.
For Tao Qisheng and his wife, it is finally a matter of heart for their only son Zhang Luo to become a family. Their husband and wife and son, over the years, have been saving money for more than ten years, and have a little money, so they are looking forward to today, and they have a little bottom in their hearts, but they still borrowed some from their son, so that they finally have the capital to marry the daughter of the Liu family. He became a relative to his son, and he couldn't talk about it with little savings left, and he owed a famine that was not small for a small family. This marriage also invited four hunters in the village to be bodyguards, Xin Dongfang, Cheng Maoran, Yuan Yongtao, and Xie Tianwu, all of whom are young men with great physique, among which Cheng Maoran and Yuan Yongtao are the two sons-in-law of Wu Jinfu and Wu Jinlu, who have not yet married, that is, the fiancés of Niva and Nijuan, the two uncles and sisters. The Tao family and the red envelope to each person to pick up the yuan as a reward, in the honest Tao Qisheng couple thought that as long as the new daughter-in-law Liu Xingmei can be brought into the house safely, then everything will be fine. At that time, the villagers had a lot of money in their eyes, and the four-legged beast on the road was not terrible for such an excellent hunter as his son, but the two-legged bandits and Japanese devils were terrible! During the Manchukuo period, prices basically stabilized, and the increase and depreciation of the currency did not fluctuate much, and Wu Yuan could buy a bag of rice and noodles. But none of the four of them answered, and asking for money is equivalent to weakening the friendship, and it is all related to the love of the father's life. Although Tao Zhenkun has a withdrawn personality and is somewhat out of place with his peers, open-minded people do not care about this shortcoming. The old cat sleeps in the room, and one generation stays for the next. The woman followed only Tao Qiyue's wife Luo Fang. Marrying a wife and having children is a natural legal duty for human beings to follow the rules, and it is also a natural law that must be obeyed.
Tao Qisheng is a famous carpenter within a radius of 100 miles, with a clever mind and a good ability to paint and carve. People with craftsmanship are naturally very popular, and the east invites the west family to call them all year round, build a house, build a house, and make a coffin with furniture, which is inseparable from people. In addition, he is cheerful and enthusiastic, not arrogant or impetuous, modest and easy-going but low-key and simple, and is a well-known good man and peacemaker in the village. If there is a quarrel or a brawl between two people, he can resolve the conflict with a mouth that can speak well, and a dark cloud will disperse in the sky, and some people have joked that he can jump out of the coffin and shake hands with him. His wife, Qiu Lanzhi, is a good wife and mother, and a well-known chef in the village. The husband and wife are also popular, and there are red and white happy events in the village, and the family does not fall, and they respond to their needs. This very loving couple is a model of envy in people's minds, but there are few couples who can truly love. It's just that in this war years, Tao Qisheng's opportunity to go out and make money was greatly restricted. Besides, he is a good craftman, but people outside almost don't know where he is, because when Wu Yuanzu and his father were alive, he ordered him not to tell the outside world about the location of the Peace Village, for fear of causing trouble.
In addition, Tao Qisheng's parents are no longer there, his mother was killed by thunder, his father's whereabouts are still unknown, and others know this, but only he knows the hidden secrets, which is a heart disease that he can't cure in his life!
In any case, as a "father", he always wants to pass on his craft to his "son". But Tao Zhenkun is stupid, no matter what he does, there will be a trend of "going in the opposite direction", painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, even if he paints a scoop according to a gourd. After several ear-to-ear teachings, there is no progress, it seems that it is difficult to inherit this art of eating, and it can be regarded as a dead heart!
The Tao family is not prosperous, several generations of single transmission, they look forward to being able to hold their grandchildren earlier in their lifetimes, the Tao family has someone to pass on the ancestry, and there are successors, this is a coveted wish.
