On April twenty-five, the Zhao and Wu families began to arrange the marriage for their two children. Zhao Yunlong was dressed up cleanly, neatly, and married a daughter-in-law.

Before the happy event, there is another important link - the box.

It is an old custom of marriage in the rural areas of Northeast China, and it is a superstitious practice.

The parties to the marriage write a wedding sticker and put it in a wooden box. The man took the wooden box home and held it for three days. Three

Within a few days, if the man's family is smooth and there are no accidents, then it will be passed. If the man's home is present

A little accident, then this family is yellow.

In the event of marriage, it is ridiculous to use the box to divinate good fortune and evil, but people at that time believed this. Only bet

If there is no problem with the box, you can get married.

Zhao Yunwu and Wu Zhanshan bumped their heads, and Zhao Yunwu wrote the wedding post. It reads: Zhao Yunlong and Wu Chunxiu have been together for a hundred years, heaven

Forever.

Zhao Yunwu took home the wooden box containing the wedding sticker. In the past three days, a wooden box has touched the hearts of both men and women.

Wu Chunxiu muttered in his heart: "Box, box, you bless me and Zhao Yunlong to get married smoothly!" ”

As for the Zhao family, the family is extra careful in what they say and do, for fear that there will be some accidents and they will not be able to get married smoothly.

The three days of the box are very demanding, and if someone falls on a heel or has two words, it is considered unlucky.

So the family is careful.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the level of the detention box was finally passed, and the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief.

On April twenty-eight, the Zhao family officially married Wu Chunxiu. The Zhao family hired a sedan chair, which was carried by four people and went to Wujiatun to pick up the bride.

"The bride is out!" In a loud shout, Wu Zhanshan helped Wu Chunxiu out of the door.

Wu Chunxiu was dressed in fiery red clothes, with a red hijab on her head, and her steps were light.

"The bride is on the sedan chair!"

Wu Chunxiu stepped into the sedan chair.

Zhao Yunlong rode on a tall horse, wearing a big red flower on his chest, leading the way in front, and four big men carried a sedan chair towards Zhao

Jiagou walked. Wu Zhanshan also rode a horse and pressed the formation behind.

As soon as I entered Zhaojiagou Tunzi, there was a sound of blowing, blowing, and beating, trumpets, and drums at the door of Zhao's house, which was very cheerful and joyful.

Zhao Yunwu went to greet him and laughed with Wu Zhanshan. Firecrackers rang out outside the door, Wu Chunxiu got off the sedan chair, stepped over the brazier, and entered the gate of the Zhao family.

Some of the guests sat in the courtyard, some leaned on the wall, and some stood on the gate stone, watching the bustle.

The old tyrant and Cao Shangfei couldn't hold back their addiction to alcohol for a long time, so they pinched the wine jug and drank it. You have a cup, I have a drink, and I drink that one

Leisurely. Last time Zhao Yunwu got married, he didn't drink the wedding wine, and these two have to make up for it today.

Li Yuting leaned against the jujube tree, smoking a cigarette, and looked at Zhao Yunwu with a smile.

Zhang Cuihua sat in the corner, holding a little stupid dog in her arms, and secretly looked at Li Yuting with a happy expression on her face.

Li Yuting didn't look at Zhang Cuihua at all, but Zhang Cuihua still looked at him happily.

Ya'er was busy greeting the guests, walked up to Zhang Cuihua, stabbed her, and said, "What's the use of just looking stupid?" Why don't you dare with him

What about talking? ”

"Hehe, I'm willing to look at him from a distance like this," Zhang Cuihua said quietly.

"Silly girl, I've never seen you so stupid."

Zhang Cuihua has had a crush on Li Yuting for so many years and has hardly spoken a few words to him, no wonder Ya'er said he was stupid!

Li Yuting didn't know how much his words back then had a big impact on Zhang Cuihua's heart! He has always been pretentious, and he has long forgotten everything he said.

In fact, he had already found out that Zhang Cuihua had been staring at him blankly, and the more this was the case, the more he ignored her.

Zhao Yunwu heard Ya'er say that he knew that Zhang Cuihua had a deep love for Li Yuting, so he especially wanted to be an adult. walked up to Li Yuting and said in a low voice: "Yuting, you are not too young, and you should become a family!" ”

"I haven't had enough yet!"

"We don't like these girls, don't you like them?"

"I didn't think about it."

"Yuting, you have a snack, there is one that is good for you right now, don't you feel it at all?"

"Who? Why don't I know? ”

"Look over there!" Zhao Yunwu glanced at Zhang Cuihua.

Li Yuting glanced at Zhang Cuihua, just glanced at it, and hurriedly avoided Zhang Cuihua's hot gaze. In fact, Li Yuting has long known that Zhang Cuihua is interesting to him. I don't know why, the more Zhang Cuihua likes him, the more powerful he pretends to be. This may have something to do with his personality, he is a bit arrogant, because he has good conditions, and he doesn't care much about women.

"See? That look in his eyes, at a glance, he understood what was going on. Zhao Yunwu deliberately cleared his throat.

Zhang Cuihua knew that Zhao Yunwu and Li Yuting seemed to be talking about herself, so she quickly looked away and stroked the puppy in her arms.

"Big brother, I heard that the heart of a woman with a dog is empty."

"If Cuihua hadn't waited for you, they would have been married a long time ago. Are you really interested in other people? ”

"Didn't think about it."

"Think about it"

"Hehe, big brother, why did you become a mother-in-law?"

"I'm doing justice for Zhang Cuihua, do you think you're a love saint? Be merciful everywhere. ”

"Big brother, you have wronged me, when did I tease her?"

"Don't think that others don't know about what you're doing behind your back. Okay, I'm going to get busy. Think about it! Zhao Yunwu raised his voice and beckoned the guests to go.

Li Yuting glanced at Zhang Cuihua, and vaguely remembered what he said back then: Cuihua, if I say I love you, do you believe it?

Li Yuting fought a cold war: "Damn"

When was this phrase said, five years ago? Seven years ago? He couldn't remember.

Li Yuting stepped on the cigarette butt.

………

Minghuai and Huo Lianfeng also came to drink the wedding wine.

Since Huo Lianfeng was shot away by Zhao Yunwu that day, he rarely entered Zhaojiagou Tunzi. Today he was hard-pulled by Minghuai!

Ming Huai said: "It's been so long, you don't need to be so stiff with Zhao Yunwu!" Just have a number in mind. ”

Huo Lianfeng didn't have any bottom in his heart, afraid that Zhao Yunwu would ignore him and make a big white face.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Yunwu saw him, he was very enthusiastic and said heartily: "Lianfeng, you are here!" Find a place to sit first,

I don't have time for you right now. ”

"Brother Yunwu, you're busy, don't worry about me" Huo Lianfeng almost cried with excitement. In the past, the three of them had been together for so long, and it was fake to say that there was no relationship at all, so Huo Lianfeng was excited.

Huo Lianfeng held back his tears and smiled stupidly at Zhao Yunwu.

This silly smile was definitely from the heart, and the little bit that Zhao Yunwu had in his heart disappeared with this smile, put one hand on Huo Lianfeng's shoulder, and said, "Brother, drink more in a while." Haha, I know you're a good drinker! When you arrive at the eldest brother's house, you're welcome! ”

Huo Lianfeng didn't expect Zhao Yunwu to be so righteous, wiped his eyes and said, "Yunwu, don't say anything, brother was sorry for you before......"

"Okay, you guys eat and drink well!" Zhao Yunwu said a few polite words and went to entertain the guests.

"San'er, look at you so good that you can get this bear out!" Li Yuting approached Huo Lianfeng with a smile, "What's the matter?" Seeing Brother Yunwu, excited? ”

"No" Huo Lianfeng turned his face away and secretly wiped his eyes.

"Look at your whole bear?" Li Yuting said again.

"Whoever is out of the bear, you don't make fun of me."

"Yo Yo, this one is very difficult to practice! Haha" Li Yuting smiled.

After Zhao Yunlong and Xiu'er finished worshipping heaven and earth, the guests opened a table to eat, and the courtyard was very lively.

Zhao Yunwu sat between Li Yuting and Huo Lianfeng, and the three kowtow brothers hadn't gotten together for a long time.

"Yuting, what have you been busy with lately?" Zhao Yunwu saluted Li Yuting with a glass of wine and asked casually.

"Nothing busy!"

"Have you ever heard that the sea often comes to your house to smoke big cigarettes?"

"Ah, a few times."

"I told you before, don't crow. Why don't you listen to me? ”

"Brother Yunwu, look at you, teach me a lesson as soon as we meet" Li Yuting was a little embarrassed.

"If you don't follow me now, then you can't follow me across the sea? Don't you know who crosses the sea? ”

“……”

At this time, Huo Lianfeng yawned, and he looked like a big smoker. Zhao Yunwu didn't expect that the two kowtow brothers who had followed him before were stained with big smoke, so he sighed: "What I told you before, it's all in vain." If you don't listen to me, just mix it up! I can't control you right now anyway. ”

"Brother Yunwu, what's wrong? I heard that you are getting mixed up quite miserably now, and you went to the coal kiln to work as a coolie? Li Yuting said.

"What's wrong with the coal kiln? I eat with all my strength."

"Big brother, are you really promising?"

"It's better to go down to the coal kiln than to be idle, right?"

"We are idle, but we eat fragrant and drink spicy, and that's how it is in this life!"

"Hehe, everyone has their own ambitions, don't talk about it"

"Brother Yunwu, you have changed so much, you don't have any sharpness at all"

"Don't nag about these useless things, today my friends get together to eat and drink, I'll make a look first" Minghuai raised his neck, and a glass of wine went down.

"You drink yours, I still have to work at night, I can't drink more!" Zhao Yunwu didn't want to drink with Minghuai.

"Brother Yunwu doesn't drink it, let's drink it!" Huo Lianfeng hurriedly gave Ming Huai a round and made a toast.

Li Yuting knew that Minghuai and Huo Lianfeng had the best relationship now, and said with a smile: "You guys drink!" I'm casual. ”

"No, why are you arbitrary?" Huo Lianfeng was in a hurry.

"San'er, don't give you face, you don't have a face, I definitely won't drink this wine today, do you understand why?" Li Yuting was a little hot.

Li Yuting's words were said to Ming Huai, which means: Our brothers are kowtow brothers, and if we want to drink, we will drink together, how old are you?

Minghuai understood in his heart: Why? Aren't you just because I'm in the middle? Am I so unwelcome? said quietly: "Everyone is free, drink more if you can, and drink less if you can't." Today is a good day for Brother Yunwu, everyone is happy. ”

Li Yuting really wanted to scold Ming Huai: "I respect you, do you call you Brother Huai?" I thought about it, but I didn't scold.

Minghuai and Huo Lianfeng drank to each other, bragging while drinking, Wu Wu chattered, which was very annoying. Drinking and drinking, the two of them actually guessed their fists: "Six six, eight horses, five leaders......"

Wu Zhanshan drank with Minghuai for the first time.

"Isn't he a monk? Why do you drink wine and eat meat? Wu Zhanshan said sarcastically.

"Hehe, drink wine, eat meat, people still have wives!" Li Yuting said.

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in his heart!" Minghuai replied.

If it weren't for his younger brother's marriage today, Zhao Yunwu would have to kick Minghuai out.

Zhao Yunwu suppressed his temper and began to chat with Wu Zhanshan.

Wu Zhanshan revealed one thing to Zhao Yunwu, and Boss Du of the coal kiln suspected that someone was stealing coal and had secretly launched an investigation.

Wu Zhanshan whispered to Zhao Yunwu: "Yesterday, Boss Du came to me and asked our brothers to help him look at the field for a few nights. ”

"Did you promise him?"

"Yes, I'll go to the coal yard tonight to see who is so bold as to steal coal?"
