Chapter Ninety-Eight: My Sister Gets Married
My sister's wedding was scheduled for May 1, and everything was done by my aunt, who said that it was a good day, and the people of the whole country were on holiday. Relatives who haven't seen each other for many years can come, and everyone gets together to celebrate, and the picture is how lively one person is. My sister has been with her arrogant aunt since she was a child, she envies the life of people in the city, and she regards her aunt as her own mother. Now that he has a formal job in the city, he is proud of his beauty and married to a city person, and he is unwilling to return to the village where the soil is scumbag to do a happy event. She wants to marry herself off in style with her eldest aunt. Maybe she's used to being in the city and doesn't want to go home for a day. People don't think their mothers are ugly, and dogs don't think they are poor. There are parents alive at home, and she is afraid of leaving a handle in front of people, although she is happy to think about it, she does not dare to make a mistake.
However, when the wedding date was approaching, she changed her mind. The reason is that the eldest aunt feels that she has no children or daughters in her life, and what she is looking for is a second marriage, which is not complete. The marriage of a child is a lifelong event, and you can't be sloppy at all, and your aunt thinks that no matter how good her conditions are, she can't replace the nurturing grace of her biological parents. In order to be auspicious, she asked her sister to go back to her rural hometown alone to stay with her parents the day before the wedding, and then be honored by her in-laws. This will be good for both companies in the future.
My sister's wedding was very grand, but Sun Xiaohong did not attend. She felt that she was shabby, she couldn't dress up, it was difficult for her to get into the hall of elegance, and she couldn't support her sister's face for her mother's family, so it was better not to block her parents. Wu Yanli came to the house to give gifts, she filled the vacancy, she got married early, younger than her sister, she has experienced more, she is very good at observing words and improvisation, she went to send her sister off, her mother is a hundred rest assured, together with the girl, there is a sister who came back from vacation, and Liyang of her cousin's house. These girls, one more beautiful than the other, walked in the crowd, which was particularly eye-catching.
My sister's wedding day is an auspicious day for the zodiac. The sky is clear, the breeze is blowing, and the red luck is on the head, so it is rare to see such good weather. The people who came to say hello in the alley said that my sister was blessed and enjoyed endless glory and wealth. When my sister heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and her smile was full of wishes.
On my sister's wedding day, there were a lot of guests at home. These men and women filled the east and west courtyards. The first 30 years look at the father and respect the son, and the last 30 years look at the son and respect the father. Living at home, no one is holding a book to speak, how can there be so much humanity at all. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Magpies and eagles like to run to the branches, everyone loves to climb high and noble, when they look up and walk, their eyes can fly to the sky to soar through the clouds, but this is a fact that can never be changed.
Sun Guodong set up more than a dozen tables of banquets at home to entertain them. The seven aunts and eight aunts who came to cheer, after writing their share of money on the bill made on red paper, each sat down, pushed each other's cups and exchanged lamps, and humbled each other. In the staggered between the staggering, there is also a hypocritical rhetoric, and after the wine and food are full, they all return with a smile. Sun Guodong and Xiaohong's mother accompanied the smiling faces and toasted from table to table, for fear of snubbing others.
The pomp and circumstance of my brother-in-law's house is much bigger than that of my family. My sister didn't stretch out her hand to ask her brother-in-law for the bride price, she felt that it was too cheesy, similar to buying and selling marriages, and she didn't want her in-laws to look down on her, so she didn't ask her brother-in-law for anything excessive.
Some things are not necessarily bad. Anyone who is going through the days of life can afford to buy a horse and be worthy of a saddle. Of course, the brother-in-law's family will not be on an errand. The parents-in-law saw that the sister was very reasonable, they not only prepared a decent wedding for the sister, but also prepared three wedding rooms for the sister, and the sister had her own house to live in as soon as she entered the door, like entering heaven, and her heart was beautiful, which was also the biggest wish in her life.
On the morning of her sister's wedding, Sun Xiaohong never showed up, she hid in her cabin, and watched through the curtains as a group of gorgeously dressed women swarmed in. As soon as they entered, they surrounded their sister in the middle, and then everyone had a share in grooming and dressing their sister. They filled the room, and the stars were holding the moon, chattering endlessly.
There were two buses parked in the alley, and more than 20 Santana lined up in a long line, especially swaggering to block the alley, and passers-by were caught in it, looking at the gap like walking through the maze, looking back and forth, they were not only envious, but also envious, and sighed to themselves. The daughter is her father's little padded jacket, they marry well, and the brothers and sisters in the family are also stained.
My brother-in-law also specially invited a beautician to carefully trim my sister's hair. The sister who has put on makeup, has bright eyes and bright teeth, and then wears a decent wedding dress, she is as beautiful as a star. The brother-in-law stood in the room, watching quietly, his eyes were full of his sister's shadow.
My sister was picked up by the car with a smile. She didn't give up, she hated this home, so she didn't cry, or she didn't want to cry. Because I heard the old people in the village say that the tears of the daughter when she got married were made of golden beans. When you get married, you should leave half of your mother's house, and the other half will take away your mother-in-law's family. My sister cherishes her tears very much, she wants to send herself, even half of them are not left. Some people also say that she is a prosperous husband, she wants to bring all the golden beans back to her home, and then pave the ground with gold bricks, and then add icing on the cake.
My sister was picked up by a luxury car full of flowers. The moment she collapsed out of the house, she didn't look back. The bright sunshine, bewitchingly sprinkled in the courtyard, spread a golden carpet for her. Surrounded by everyone, she walked over with light steps, leaving no regrets in her heart. When the door opened, she sat down. The wheels moved forward slowly, and the group of floats welcoming relatives soon left behind the alleys, houses, fields, and the eyes of father and mother, and gradually disappeared. The road ahead, getting wider and wider, stretches to the place of dreams, which is the life my sister wants, and once she chooses, it will be the same as always.
The float that my sister didn't pick up was taken away, and the relatives and friends who came to congratulate also dispersed. The courtyard was a mess, with tables, chairs, unwashed pots and pans everywhere. Swarms of flies, buzzing from afar, landed on the leftovers and devoured the scraps so hard that the yard soon smelled disgusting. They flew away and flew again, like a group of laipi, and they couldn't coax them away.
After Sun Guodong saw off the last wave of guests, he held a pot of old wine alone and poured himself a drink against the bright sun in the sky, and finally he drank himself so drunk that he fell headlong under the table, a few flies landed on his face, and his hands scratched and beat in the air. On a hot day, Sun Guodong drank a stomach of spirits, he couldn't stand it, so he began to toss, and finally, he couldn't move anymore, so he rolled alone under the pergola in the yard and fell asleep. Drunk, his clothes and pants were covered in mud, and his body exuded the smell of smoky alcohol, and he didn't wake up at all. Occasionally I opened my eyes, looked around, and snored like thunder. He is a man who loves to drink alcohol, and when there is a slight discomfort in his heart, he uses wine to kill his sorrows. It's very sad to watch.
Xiaohong's mother is busy here, busy there. Together with her five sons, after sending away the tables, chairs and benches, she cleaned the dirty dishes and rice bowls, which were all rented, and after she washed them, she immediately found someone to carry them away.
She demolished the pergola in the yard, tied down the wooden poles, and looked at the work in the yard without help, she was angry and tired, and when she finished all these jobs one by one, the maiden guests who went to see off their relatives were about to come back, Sun Guodong who was lying in the yard had not yet sobered up, Xiaohong's mother shouted that it was not, and it was not dragging it, and she was suddenly disheartened and completely collapsed.
After she returned to the house, she sat on the edge of the kang, and the more she thought about it, the more she had no way out, so she simply lay on the kang and howled. When the sun set, the third aunt in the backyard was picking cucumbers in the garden, she suddenly heard Xiaohong's mother's cry, she didn't know what happened to Xiaohong's family, she was very puzzled, she put the basin in her hand on the wall, and hurried over.
After entering the door, she saw Xiaohong's mother lying on the kang, crying with snot and tears, so she sat in front of her eyes, patted her back and said, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong with you." Today is the child's big day, you should be happy, why are you still crying? You're all so old, is there anything you can't say well? Usually I don't even have a pimple in my eyes, but today I cry like a tearful person, are you singing that play? You see you crying like this, if the children know about it, they won't laugh off their big teeth! Hurry up and wash your face, and when your mother's guests come back, let them know that you are okay at home, and you will lose your face! ”
Hearing the third aunt say this, Xiaohong's mother stopped crying. She got up from the kang head, pointed at Sun Guodong outside with her finger, and sighed and said, "Her third aunt, you see my heart is, when is it a head!" It's a good thing that the child gets married, it's not me who makes it up, and now you can see it, right? Your second brother drank from morning to noon, and from noon to the end of the feast, and he became drunk like this. I'm busy working alone outside the house, and you say you don't work, so don't make a mess! He can pour it well, seeing that the wine is dead, there is so much wine at home, you said that you have to drink enough in a day if you don't drink well, and finally seized the opportunity, you can't drink it anymore, I don't listen to it! I can't live this day! As she spoke, tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks in pairs.
"The second brother is honest, he usually likes to drink, today's day is special, he is happy to drink a little more, it's not a big deal, you see you crying like this, is it uncomfortable to watch the girl get married?" The third aunt's words really hit the key point of Xiaohong's mother. For this daughter, she is not only sad and sad. Xiaohong's sister has been hanging around her aunt since she was a child, and her temperament is the same as that of her aunt. Now he is separated from himself. What's even more sad is that when my sister was about to go out, she left without even calling her mother. No wonder Xiaohong's mother cried so sadly, such a daughter, she was raised for nothing. But there are sad children in this world, but there are no sad parents, and she is a mother who can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, since she doesn't recognize this mother, there is no need to go back to this home.
