On the morning of the third day, as Su Lan said, almost everyone in the village went to Gulagit to attend the temple fair, but on the way, Shakru suddenly found a very interesting place, that is, there were two roads in a village on the way, which made him feel very strange, because the construction of rural roads in India is basically paid by the local landlords themselves, but because the amount of funds required to build the roads is too large, so the rural roads are very broken, and even off-road vehicles can only barely drive. The landlords are not willing to pay for this road, why are there two roads of similar quality here? If you have the money, don't you have to fix one?

After asking, I learned that there was a untouchable female painter in this village, she was adopted by an Englishman since she was a child, and when she was older, she returned to the village to teach the locals. Make some traditional handicrafts and sell them for money. Ask the local landlords to let them use the cattle road leading to the county seat (the official translation is certainly not called that, the general meaning is that only the sacred cow and the high castes can walk, and the lower castes can walk with permission, but the untouchables are absolutely not allowed to use it). The local landlord did not agree, but asked them to build another cattle road about 5 kilometers for them to use, so it was very strange that there were two roads here.

Talking and laughing soon arrived at the destination, today's Gulagit is as lively as a festival, and colorful flags are fluttering everywhere on the streets. Orange, green, and white are the three colors that make up the national flag. There are a few round bamboo baskets in the market, in which live chickens, males, females, whites, and flowers are tied, which is not easy to see in ordinary times. The chicken dealer quickly pulls one out of the coop and throws it at the other. Before the toss, there was a swift twist, and the poor chicken was dead before the last flight.

Today, all the women put on bright saris and go to the temple to worship the gods and pray for blessings. The women in pairs and threes held hands, looking intimate. Some have to go to the dye shop in front of the temple to redress, the shop is full of dazzling colors, bright purple, fluorescent red, pink yellow, women find their favorite color on their foreheads. There were so many people that they had to queue up to get in. Everyone only had a few seconds of contact with the gods, but when they came out, they were all radiant, as if they had spent 10,000 years with the gods.

By noon, the two rows of tables in front of the temple had been laid out. The top is served with leaves. There are curry potatoes, fritters, and sweet corn, all of which are distributed free of charge. A makeshift table was erected next to the table, on which an elderly monk in glasses was talking, and because his accent was so thick that none of the Shakru understood what he was saying, but the locals didn't seem to be listening. People are more concerned about whether the corn is sweet enough and whether the bread is enough.

In the evening, the men's main event has just begun, first of all, the monks in the temple will hold a grand ceremony for the goddesses who participate in the auction today, although the ceremony is very solemn and dignified, but in Shakru's view, this is to give all the goddesses a chance to show themselves, but also to give all the buyers who want to participate in the auction a chance to select the goods up close, and when the ceremony is over, the auction will officially start in the back room. (It's over, I've been warned, and the plot about the auction of the goddess is not allowed to be written in detail, and all this chapter is a temporary reversal.) ）

NOT LONG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE TEMPLE, THERE WERE TWO DISTINGUISHED GUESTS IN SANYI'S HOUSE, IN FACT, IT SHOULD NOT BE SAID THAT THEY WERE GUESTS, THE FIANCÉE OF SANYI'S SON AKASHEE AND HER PARENTS, MR. JOHAR AND MRS. JOHAR, ACCORDING TO THE CHINESE SAYING, THIS IS THE QIN (QING) FAMILY, THE IN-LAWS VISIT, NATURALLY THEY SHOULD BE WELL ENTERTAINED, OF COURSE, WHEN SHAKRU CAME YESTERDAY, THE RECEPTION WAS ALSO VERY GRAND, ROAST SHEEP IS NOT SOMETHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO WHEN THEY COME.

Akashee is not very old this year, only fourteen years old, and he is still in school, so although he is engaged now, he will definitely not get married in a short time, and the reason why he is engaged so early is similar to the original Shakru, because high-caste boys are scarce resources, and there are many people who are targeted, and the Brahmins and Kshatriya families with daughters in the nearby villages are all eyeing little Akashe, and the atmosphere in the countryside is more traditional and anxious than in the city, so Mrs. Sanyi began to look for a fiancée for him since Akashei was ten years old.

On the other hand, Johar is not fully prepared for this huge amount of dowry now, and needs to accumulate for another two or three years, so the two have not officially married, probably when they reach the legal age, everything will be almost ready, which shows the richness of this dowry, and Mrs. Sangyi's proudest thing is that she gave birth to three sons in a row, which is three China Merchants Banks, and it is foreseeable that in the future, the dowry of these three daughters-in-law will be enough to maintain the needs of the family.

Since the status and identity of the Johar family are similar to those of the Sang Yi family, the two families are not far away and can watch and help each other, and the amount of dowry given is also the most generous, so they are very satisfied with this in-law Mr. Sang Yi and Mrs. Sang Yi, so they are very well prepared for their visit.

Because of the presence of Shakru, an outsider, Sang Yi first introduced the two sides, and then everyone sat down to eat and chat, but the content and direction of the conversation between men and women were completely different.

It seems that everywhere in the world, the main topic of concern is clothes and jewelry, so as soon as Mrs. Johar sat down, she fell in love with Mrs. Sanyi's silk sally and exclaimed, "Pasta, you silk sally is so beautiful, where did you buy it?" ”

Pasta said proudly, "These silks were a gift from Mr. Pandit, and I thought they were very good and made them into Sally, but they are so thin that they are a bit cold to wear now." ”

Shakru on the side complained in his heart, can that not be cold? Although the four seasons are almost like spring here in India, it is winter after all, and the things you wear silk are not cold. However, Mrs. Johar obviously did not pay attention to this, and still said enviously while stroking Sally: "This Chinese silk is different, beautiful and smooth, soft and smooth, it is really a good thing." ”
