Chapter 63: My Uncle Gets Married
The 10th day of the 10th day of November made the Zhou brothers and sisters look forward to it for a long time, and this day was a good day for their uncle Zhao Gang to get married. Of course, this kind of big event has to be carried out by the whole family.
Dabao and Zhou Xiaoyun respectively asked the teacher for a day off, and Dabao was taken to his uncle's house by Zhao Yuzhen the night before to help his uncle press the bed.
The new bed in the new house has to find a child man to press the bed, this is a common practice in the countryside, and Zhao Gang immediately thought of his nephew Dabao. It seems that too big children press the bed, too young and afraid of bedwetting, like Dabao is about ten years old is the best choice.
Dabao knew that he was going to help his uncle press the bed and was excited at home for many days.
You must know that in the new house, delicious food is placed everywhere for joy, and the children who press the bed can rummage in their pockets unscrupulously that night, who doesn't like such a beauty.
Xiaobao saw that his mother and brother went one night earlier, and he was very envious, so he had to follow, and was reprimanded by Zhao Yuzhen. Xiao Bao's mouth was about to fall with tears in his eyes.
Dabao showed the demeanor of being an elder brother, and generously said that he would give half of the delicious food he found to Xiaobao, and Xiaobao was a little smiling.
Erya is usually used to sleeping with her mother, but when she saw Zhao Yuzhen leaving with Dabao, Zhao Yuzhen thought about it and took Erya with her. Otherwise, Zhou Guoqiang would not be able to take his three children the next day, so he simply took Dabao and Erya to his parents' house to sleep for one night.
On the morning of the tenth day of November, Zhou Xiaoyun got up early to feed the chickens and ducks, cleaned up for Xiaobao again, and combed two pigtails for himself. After Zhou Guoqiang finished feeding the pigs, the door of the house was locked, and he set off for his uncle's house.
Zhao Gang's marriage is the top priority of the Zhao family, and the daughters of the Zhao family have come back to help, and relatives inside and outside have crowded the yard. There are children running around in and out of the yard, and it is even more lively.
Dabao saw Xiaobao and Zhou Xiaoyun with sharp eyes, and greeted them from afar. Sure enough, he didn't break his promise and took out a lot of candy and pastries and stuffed them for Xiaobao to eat, Xiaobao smiled and took a bite of "brother" and made love.
Dabao also specially left some for his sister Zhou Xiaoyun, he didn't forget his sister's usual kindness to him.
Zhou Xiaoyun's pockets were filled with big treasures, and his heart was warm.
I had a delicious meal at noon, and the most anticipated thing in the afternoon was that the bride came. At that time, there was no car, and it was his uncle Zhao Gang who drove a brand-new walk-behind tractor to pick up the bride.
The walk-behind tractor is the woman's request to buy, not only to bring the bride to look better when getting married, but also to drive the tractor to drag bricks for others to earn money after marriage. Zhao Gang's family finally scraped together enough money to buy the car back.
The tractor was pasted with the word "Xi", and a bunch of furniture on the car was the woman's dowry. The villagers who were watching on the side commented that the woman's dowry was really a lot, and it was very glorious to hear people praise the grandmother's joyful face.
A bunch of children gathered around the car to see the bride, the bride was wearing red clothes, red shoes, makeup on her face, and red flowers on her head, full of joy, seeing the children surrounding her, the bride's face became redder than clothes.
Zhao Gang is in good spirits at happy events, and the feeling of being a groom official is different.
The not tall man raised his head at this time, and he actually had a little bit of a handful of candy for the children, and led the bride into the new house while the children were coaxing.
The new house was plastered with the word "Xi" in big red, and furniture such as wardrobes and cupboards and dressers in the car had already been carried into the room by relatives who came from the family. The new house looks very new, and a bunch of young men in their twenties are crammed into the new house to see the bride.
Zhou Xiaoyun was also crowded in the new house, she was not impressed by this aunt in her previous life, she only felt that her figure was relatively small and exquisite. Now it seems that her face is still beautiful, and her posture is even more beautiful against the backdrop of the red wedding dress.
Most of the young men who watched the excitement were still singles, and they couldn't take their eyes off the beautiful bride when they saw it, which made the groom Zhao Gang happy and proud.
After dinner, the real bride's show is officially staged. At that time, no one went to make trouble with the father and bridesmaids when they got married, they were all brides.
At this time, you can see the bride's personality. If you are shy, you will do it as required, although you are ashamed, but you will get through it before you send the room at twelve o'clock.
If the pungent ones ignore the demands of the troublemakers, it will make the interest of the troublemakers come up, and they have to miss the time to send the house after twelve o'clock, so that the main family is helpless.
So no matter how difficult the bride is, she has to get through this hurdle, one will be to light a cigarette for this and that, and the other will have to perform some intimate shows with the groom, and a bunch of people, old, young, men, and women are gathered in the new house to watch the excitement.
It wasn't until about half past eleven that it was ready to be sent to the house, when a handful of red chopsticks were thrown in through the crack in the window, the long whip was lit, and the two elders of the family lit a piece of red paper and said auspicious words: one sprinkled chestnut, two dates, and three sprinkled...... The other is responsible for saying "good", that is, saying "yes" to everything.
When everything is done, the newcomer enters the cave room, and the relatives all go home.
Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang each rushed home with two children overnight, and there were so many people in the family that they had no place to sleep and could only go home.
On the road, the youngest Erya, who had been running around all day, was already tired and sleepy, and had fallen asleep on the head of the car.
Zhou Guoqiang didn't dare to ride the car too fast because she arrived home so slowly, it was really the middle of the night.
