Chapter 100: Wedding Live (Part II)
"Here, eat some noodles." Aunt Xue came in with a bowl of noodles, "I don't know how long I'll have to wait when I get there." ”
"Mom, I really can't eat it, wait until he comes over to eat it before." Sister Fangfang doesn't eat it, I guess the "he" in her mouth is my brother-in-law who I have never met.
"Okay then." Sister Fangfang didn't want to eat alone, she wanted to be hungry with her brother-in-law, Aunt Xue had no choice but to give up, she waved her hand at me, "Xuanzi, you help tidy up the things on this bed and table, Auntie is busy going out, you listen to your grandmother's command!" After she finished speaking, she went out again with the dishes and chopsticks.
There was a lot of food on the table, peanuts, longan, etc., all in a big bag, and the grandmother said, "Xuanzi, you grab some peanuts and stuff red dates into the quilt on the bed." ”
I saw that there were six quilts on the bed where Sister Fangfang was sitting, "Do you want to stuff them?" "The quilt that my mother's family wants to accompany is either four beds or six beds, and Sister Fangfang's house is six beds.
"Well, and pastries." The grandmother replied.
"Does that mean anything?" I grabbed a little bit of everything.
"Born early, rise step by step, in the past in our era, everyone in the family delivery team was hungry, so they ate it here, but it was interesting." The grandmother said.
I removed a bag, revealing a thin rope underneath, "Huh, what is this?" I asked, holding it.
Sister Fangfang said: "That's for noodles, your grandmother gave me noodles yesterday." ”
"Noodles?" It's interesting to listen to, and it seems to be fun.
The grandmother took out a spittoon from under the bed, that is, there was no toilet at home in the past, and it was used to relieve small utensils, which is still retained in some places in the countryside. The spittoon is new, what the grandmother said is really right, the things that my mother marries must be accompanied from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, I always felt that raising my daughter was a big loss, not only to give people a good girl, but also to accompany so many things to the past, so sad! I silently thought of my parents, they also have to take this road, oh no, it should be a little stronger, she raised me for so many years, and finally gave it away. Now that I think about it, my parents are so great, they can marry their daughters away in such a beautiful way, and there is one less person in the family, but they still think about their daughters and don't care about them.
The grandmother opened the lid of the spittoon, "In the past, noodle twisting was beauty, and the day before the bride got married, she had to ask the old man who knew how to wring noodle to wring off the hair on her face, and her face became smoother, which made her look even better." "Wow, it's so exquisite, people in the past were so smart, you can think of it, and ...... I looked at the rope in my hand, and this rope can get rid of the little hairs on my face, it's amazing! Later, I learned that the noodles can not only stir up the hair of the hair, but also make the hair grow longer and thinner, and even the pores will shrink, which can be used for long-term beauty, but there are fewer and fewer old people who have this skill, and it is about to be lost.
When I finished stuffing the six quilts, my grandmother shouted downstairs, "Where's the fragrant tea?" Don't send it up yet! "Really, I'm already too hungry, I'm almost embarrassed to shout so domineeringly.
After a while, Uncle Xue hummed and came up with a basin of fragrant tea, the eggs were all dyed red, send so much, I can't finish eating, Sister Fangfang doesn't eat, really, I stepped forward to prepare to pick up the eggs, but the uncle didn't seem to see me, a person with a deflated stomach, and gave it to the grandmother, it's okay, it's the same for the grandmother, the grandmother grabbed a few fragrant tea from the basin, I reached out to pick it up, but I didn't expect that I watched the grandmother put the fragrant tea into the new spittoon...... That's right! It's a spittoon! I'm petrified!
"Grandma, what are you doing?" My teeth are fighting.
"This is the descendant cabinet at the wedding, and putting eggs in the descendant cabinet is the same as giving birth to a noble son early!" After putting seven fragrant teas, the grandmother put the lid on, stood up and asked, "Sanwa, when will it be there?" How many pot rings are prepared? She saw that I was standing dumbfounded, and ordered me, "Pillow, pillow!" Stuff it with cake! "I hurried to the plug again.
"Auntie, the half hour of kissing is coming! The pot ring is not complete, do you have it at home? Uncle Xue said anxiously.
"Ouch, you young people just don't make people feel at ease, you should have been ready yesterday! My old house has been demolished, and Yin'er's house has no cauldron, go to the door and shout, everyone will send it! Just go! "Grandpa Xue is gone, even if the grandmother is his family, so he has to ask the grandmother for everything, the pot ring, which is used to smoke from the lid of the pot in the countryside, where the cauldron is placed on top of the cauldron and tied with grass against the lid of the pot, so the old pot rings are generally super black, what are they used for? Well, it's actually used to fix the person who picks up the other party, although it's a joke, but it's an essential thing.
After Uncle Xue hurriedly went downstairs, the grandmother said to Sister Fangfang again: "Several brothers and sisters of your Xue family are helping downstairs, after you get married, they will be left here to take care of your parents, don't care about the previous unpleasantness, relatives are relatives, and they will definitely help if there is something, they can help a lot today, you have to talk to them before leaving, your mother's family is your biggest home." "Uncle Xue's family and Uncle Xue's family have never been very close, they are all adult factors, I don't know, but on such a busy day, relatives will still think about their own family, what else can't be put down, the family is giving Sister Fangfang's last wishes, which is also the advice of the elders.
Sister Fangfang nodded again and again after hearing this, "Grandma, I know, I have long wanted to reconcile with my brothers and sisters, but I have not been able to go down the stairs, and today I took this opportunity to finally be busy together." She straightened up from the bed and said to me, "Xuanzi, come and help me lift the wedding dress, I'm going to the bathroom." ”
In the bathroom, I found that Sister Fangfang was wearing shorts, the grandmother is a full ancient, she thinks that these etiquette must be done in all aspects, I mean, now people don't pay attention to so much, the times have changed, who will abide by it in the future, the wedding is getting simpler and simpler, and the etiquette is becoming more and more Western-style, but the grandmother said that if she is not there, she will mess around with us, but as long as she is alive, she knows these ancestral things, she can't lose them, last night the grandmother said that the bride had better not wear short clothes, At that time, they got married in long clothes and long pants, not even underwear, and no short ones, so that the marriage would last a long time, so I committed obsessive-compulsive disorder and dragged Sister Fangfang out to change her pants, and the grandmother was furious, "I told your mother that I wanted to make pants specially!" What about trousers? Where to put it? ”
Aunt Xue's grandmother said a few words, and took out a pair of trousers from the cabinet, "Auntie, I really forgot, there are too many things, and these pants have already been made." She threw her pants at me, "Help your sister change them." ”
After the pants were put on, the sound of firecrackers crackled below, and someone below shouted: "It's time to the entrance of the village!" "Village? It's coming! I hurriedly stacked the contents of the basket, which was called a three-layer furnace when I got married, and there were three layers of boxes in it, and there were cecilia cilia, cotton seeds, peanuts, crucian carp and other things, all of which were said to have meanings.
At this time, a group of children rushed up downstairs, "Oh! Oh! Oh! Close the door, close the door! The children screamed happily, several children from the Xue family came up, and many were children from the village and children of relatives and friends.
What about the thick ink, I'm looking for it, it's going to be closed, why hasn't he come up yet? Xue Bin pressed the handle of the door to close it, and I said, "Wait a minute, the thick ink hasn't come yet, can you wait for a while?" ”
"Everyone over there is here, wait a little longer and grab the bride directly, it's okay to stay down there!" Xue Huai closed the door, and I stuck out my tongue to search, where is the thick ink? Thick Ink ...... Tall ...... Yes! I'm already at the bottom of the stairs, and I'm coming up! My hand was on the doorknob again, trying to twist it away.
"What are you doing? You're a spy, let people in! "Xue Bin pressed my hand on the doorknob, I wanted to ask my grandmother for help, but my grandmother was counting the dowry.
Xue Bin's hand not only pressed on my hand, but also rotated and pressed, this bear child, if it weren't for my soft bones, I would have been poked by the doorknob, I was angry, "People haven't reached the door yet, why can't you open the door!" I was about to open it, turning my hand vigorously and shouting to the outside: "Thick ink, hurry up!" ”
Just when the door opened a crack, Xue Bin's legs also pressed against the door, I was angry, my wrist turned, twisted a circle, because it was barearmed, it was easy to see, Xue Bin was startled, and the hand on my hand retracted like an electric shock, at that moment I opened the door, thick ink stretched out one hand to come in, after we closed the door, Xue Bin was still staring at my hand, but it had recovered, he looked delusional, I stuck out my tongue at him, not far from this house, A slender figure made me almost bite my tongue, slender figure? Who else is so tall except for thick ink?
At this time, the sound of firecrackers downstairs sounded again, I withdrew my tongue, and hurriedly ran to the window to look around with a group of children, downstairs parked 6 cars to pick up relatives, the front of the car stained with a lot of flowers, from inside a boy came down, he hung a flower on his chest, this is my brother-in-law!
The grandmother took out a bag of candy and gave it to us, "Sprinkle it downstairs!" ”
We took the sugar, sprinkled it downstairs, there were a lot of people gathered downstairs, even if people don't like to eat sugar, they have to grab, to put it bluntly, now people don't worry about food and clothing, children are excited, adults are making a fuss. After sprinkling a large bag of sugar, there was a knock on the door, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”
"Give the sugar! Give the red envelope! ”
"I want cigarettes!" A child yelled.
The grandmother touched his head with a smile and said, "You want to smoke at such a young age?" ”
With his head held high, he continued to shout outside the door: "A cigarette will let you in!" ”
"Red envelopes! There are nineteen children in this! One person and one red envelope to open the door! ”
"Hey candy! Hi Candy! Hi Candy! "Inside continues to be reserved.
Outside, he shouted, "I'll open the door for you!" How to give if you don't open the door? "I don't know, we might be deceived when we open the door.
Xue Huai leaned against the door and said, "Stuff it in from the bottom, there is a seam!" Plug it before opening the door! ”
I licked my lips, the people outside the door lined up from upstairs to downstairs, oh my God, didn't the door open the door and was squeezed out, after Xue Huai finished shouting, the people outside began to walk down the stairs, and a person came up with a string of things, and the string of things looked like ...... Firecracker! It's too treacherous!
"Everyone, retreat, don't squat by the door!" Want to smoke us! Who is this, so lacking in virtue, the bride is still there!
Sure enough, the crackling sound sounded at the door, and many children lying under the door were smoked away, how could it be reasonable, I was just about to step forward, and the thick ink grabbed me and shook my head, and the family was angry, "How do these children do things?" Just let people go? What about pot rings? ”
