Chapter 186: A Great Event
The wedding day was coming, and seeing that it was already September 29, Liu hurriedly went to the street to buy supplies for the wedding banquet.
Although he didn't know much, Lao Guo had been holding banquets for so many years, so he naturally knew the doorway clearly, and wrote him a list with a brush.
Pork beef is the big head, which costs the most money. The beef was bought directly from Lao Guo, and he also patted his chest to ensure that he would get the best cooked beef. The ham was ordered a few days ago, and fortunately he explained everything early, otherwise he would have to break his leg when the matter came.
The rest is to buy sugar, tobacco, alcohol and some seasonal vegetables, as for the chickens and fish that you have at home, you don't need to buy this.
He and Zhang Qian were busy all morning to prepare all the things, and finally took two numb cars to rush back to Liujiagou.
On the morning of the thirtieth day, he was busy, and Lao Guo pulled his set of pots and pans over early.
Everyone set up an earthen stove in the courtyard, and then put the big pot on the rack, and then used it to steam hot vegetables. To be honest, people who see the cauldron for the first time find it a little scary.
According to the rules of Liujiagou, there are red and white ceremonies in the village, and basically every family has to come out to help. Therefore, not long after breakfast, many representatives of the family came, washing vegetables and washing dishes, and the yard was very lively for a while.
The group of bear children in the village also came over after school to join in the fun, but these guys only stared at the candy melon seeds that Liu Junhao put in the yard, and their pockets were full of them.
Just to be lively, it's not good if the courtyard is deserted, so Liu Junhao is quite welcoming their arrival. However, these children still took into account that Zhang Qian didn't dare to make trouble.
Guo has been busy since he entered the courtyard. Cut pork, croquettes, fried fritters, and more. After all, the women in the village are good at cooking. A few people gave him a hand. It's time to get busy.
The banquets held in rural areas of Dashan are generally 38, 884 or 8 bowls and 4. The so-called ground 38 field. It is eight cold dishes, eight buckle bowls, and eight soups. Eighty-four is to reduce soup or cold dishes. As for the eight bowls and four, it is considered the thinnest banquet. Eight hot dishes. Cold dishes over this is a banquet in the 80s. I haven't heard of that family entertains guests with eight bowls and four now.
Liu Junhao's wedding place has a sufficient budget. The banquet will naturally go according to the three or eight sessions.
At noon, please help the construction site after eating. The afternoon continued to be busy until the evening. The banquet was completely busy.
Zhang Qian's family arrived in the afternoon, and her mother and Aunt Zhang Qian rolled up their sleeves to help as soon as they arrived. was dragged into the house by the sixth aunt to drink tea.
In the evening, four tables were set up at home. It is mainly to entertain Zhang Qian's family and help the construction site.
After the guests were arranged, Liu Junhao went back to the house and lay down. Getting married is really a physical job, although he is very strong, but he is tired and has a sore back at the end of the day.
Tomorrow night, he will have the days of his wife and children hot kang, and he is really a little excited and can't sleep. However, in order to have a good spirit tomorrow, Liu Junhao also forced himself not to think nonsense.
When I slept until six o'clock in the morning and haze, the horn sounded at the door of my house.
He quickly got up and opened the door to let the driver into the house to drink water, the two wedding cars were rented from the town, and there were two big red double happiness words on the glass in front of the car, and there were many bright ribbons tied on the body.
"Brother Liu, I really admire you, you don't panic at this point, it's time to have breakfast in a while." Zhao Guangming joked with a grin.
"Hehe, we're close here, so we don't have to get up so early." Liu Junhao invited them to tea before getting back into the car.
In the past, the rural transportation was not available, and when I got married, I had to leave at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and when I came back, it was time for lunch to eat.
Liu Junhao is wearing a suit and leather shoes today, wearing a tie, and his leather shoes are shiny. Not to mention that the more handsome you look in this outfit.
When everyone had arrived, they got into the car and went out up the embankment. Don't look at Liu Junhao's house, the distance from the sixth aunt's house is only 200 meters. But in fact, it is not like this, but it is necessary to go a long way.
The rule of Daqingshan is to turn three corners and turn three times. That is to say, on the way back and forth, you have to take at least three turns on the road to take the bride home, and you have to put a firecracker at every intersection to open the way.
When they arrived at the sixth aunt's house, Xiao Zeyu and Jianhui were already standing at the door. Liu Junhao obediently took out the red envelope, and they let them go, and then called his uncle vigorously.
As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Qian's parents and sisters-in-law were all around there, and Zhang Qian was sitting upright on the chair in the middle with a smile, only to see her daughter-in-law combing her head on her head, wearing a bright Tang costume that was very proud.
There are also rules for the bride's type, before getting married, the sister-in-law is required to comb her sister's hair, which is generally combed into a bun, which is called the daughter-in-law's head, which means that the younger sister is about to become someone else's daughter-in-law. There is also a way to comb long braids, and when you arrive at your mother-in-law's house, your sister-in-law or elders will comb your daughter-in-law's hair. When combing your hair, you have to sing "Seven in the front, eight in the back, and the in-laws and outsiders together." The in-law's house is two and a half acres, and the foreign family is two and a half acres, and it is halfway through
Marry ......"
After having breakfast at the sixth aunt's house, Liu Junhao picked Zhang Qian into the car again. This is also the old rule, the bride is not allowed to go down to the ground until she enters the house.
Zeyu and Jianhui naturally followed and sat in the car, they called it a car, and they had to roll the bed after entering the house.
As soon as he arrived at Liu Junhao's house, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out. After entering the house, it is to worship heaven and earth, worship each other, and now the countryside does not pay much attention to this old rule, and it is also a rough walk, lively on the line.
As soon as he finished worshipping heaven and earth, the hairy child shouted loudly: "Uncle Xiaohao, you and Teacher Zhang are about to enter the cave room, and I will wait for the washing water." A bunch of adults laughed when they heard this, and their mothers blushed and pulled this troublemaker out.
There is a red nai in the face wash, so these bear children are all positive.
Sometimes there are even seven or eight washbasins in the bedroom, and then the brides all have to give red envelopes.
By the time these ceremonies were completed, it was almost past ten o'clock, and relatives had rushed to Liujiagou. Today is eleven, and there is a play in the afternoon, not only Liu Junhao's house is lively, but even the entire Liujiagou is also very lively. Those regular customers who originally went to Liujiagou to play heard that Liu Junhao was getting married today and came to congratulate them.
Liu Junhao's side is enough melon seeds and sugar, and watermelon and jujube can be taken casually. It's not yet time to start, so everyone sits at the table and chats while munching melon seeds. Of course, there is a special person at each table to greet the bride's family.
By half-past eleven, almost everyone had arrived. Liu Guangju began to sing, and before singing, a long firecracker was to be set off.
It is to hand red envelopes to the bride and groom, and the custom of Liujiagou is that if there is a household, it must come forward to give a gift. And it's not like in the city to pick up with red paper, but to hand the money directly and let the steward count it.
For more than a year, the people of Liujiagou have really become rich, and they are also generous when they give gifts, and there are no tickets under fifty at all, and the bright red yuan quickly becomes thicker.
What Liu Junhao didn't expect was that many regular guests who came to Liujiagou to play also followed everyone to salute, fortunately, there was a surplus of the banquet prepared at the beginning, otherwise this face would be lost.
As a firecracker rang off again, the guests took their seats, and the helpers carried trays to deliver food.
Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao sat at the banquet of Zhang Qian's family to accompany the guests, and naturally asked Professor Zhao and Zhang Dayan before the banquet. Professor Zhao said something like thanking Zhang Qian's parents for marrying their daughter. And Dad Zhang said simply: "Xiaohao, Xiaoqian will be handed over to you, and you will treat her well in the future." ”
"Dad, don't worry" Liu Junhao also nodded heavily in agreement.
Eight cold dishes were served at the beginning of the banquet, and everyone was full of praise after eating, some said that Lao Guo's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and some said that the main thing is that the seasoning is good, in a word, there is no dissatisfaction after eating this banquet.
Halfway through the banquet, Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian went to the banquet one by one with wine bottles to toast. Although Liu Junhao drank a good amount of alcohol, he couldn't stand the crowd, and he was already a little dizzy after half a circle.
"Uncle Xiaohao, wine!" At this time, the hairy boy came on the field, and he squeezed his eyes at Liu Junhao with a wine bottle.
This kid didn't hurt in vain, and I remember the words I explained last night quite clearly.
Last night, Liu Junhao was coerced and lured by a radish and a stick, and the bear child finally nodded and agreed to help him cheat at the wine table.
As soon as he made a gesture, he immediately handed the bottle up. Liu Junhao toasted another glass of wine, and sure enough, it was cold water. The bear boy remembered clearly that he had not filled the bottle with water, otherwise it would have been exposed.
As soon as he arrived at Zhao Guangming's table, this kid stood up with a wine glass, and he had to toast with him three times in a row. Seeing Liu Junhao's drinking, he put his nose in front of the wine glass and sniffed it in disbelief, until he smelled the smell of wine.
"Congratulations, congratulations" Pang Xu didn't pour him very much, but just toasted a toast.
Although the bottle of wine was mixed with a lot of water in the end, his face was still red after a circle. Fortunately, my brain is clear, and my hands and feet are still sharp.
In the afternoon, people were worried about going to the village to watch the play, so after they were full, they left one after another, and the last thing left was some helpers and Zhang Qian's family.
After sending all the guests away, Liu Junhao relaxed and sat in the courtyard to catch his breath.
Zhang Qian looked like he was drunk, and hurriedly ran to him to help him into the house to rest.
"It's okay, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little up" Liu Junhao smiled and waved his hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do" During the banquet, Liu Junhao helped Liu Junhao to toast the bride, and Zhang Qian didn't drink at all.
After the lively scene, it was warm and bland, and at night he closed his cage door, and the two of them were left in the house.
Three happy events in life: meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, when the gold list is titled, and the night of candles in the cave room.
The sultry ...... of the night Tonight is the great joy of their lives!! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.) More chapters,! )
