No.286 Holding a doll and falling in love
Not far from the food stall, there is a large bazaar, there are many people rushing to the market on the small street, and the people are bustling and very lively.
Just next to the open-air coal pile next to a factory where Sanqi was baked, two pairs of young men and women of the Miao nationality wearing colorful national costumes pulled each other for some reason.
Among the Miao people, there are green seedlings and flower seedlings.
This is distinguished by what they wear.
Comparatively speaking, it is just that the patterns often used are different, and the clothing patterns of the seedlings are not as bright as those of the seedlings.
And the clothes of these two Miao girls, with the people next to them as a reference, are obviously more gorgeous, so Wang Mingyuan can also tell that this is a flower seedling.
Among the four, two young men desperately pulled the young women down the street, while the young women struggled desperately.
The two sides were rolling around in the coal pile, their bodies covered in pitch-black soot, and their mouths kept speaking Miao language, which they didn't understand at all.
Seeing this situation, many people quickly gathered around, but no one stepped forward to stop them, but kept shouting on the side, and there was a feeling that the matter was not big enough, and some talked and laughed.
"What's going on?"
Han Xiaoling's eyes did not leave the two young women, and she asked very curiously.
Wang Mingyuan shook his head: "I don't know either."
"When something like this happened, with so many people watching, why didn't anyone come forward and forcibly stop them from doing so, just talking to the sidelines and letting them pull together?"
Han Xiaoling's brows became tighter and tighter: "Look at those two girls, they were dressed in fancy clothes just now, and they all became black in a blink of an eye, and they were dragged so far...... Why don't you help them?"
She was clearly sympathetic to the plight of the two young women.
Wang Mingyuan still frowned: "In such a place, when encountering such a thing, I think it's better for us to take care of it, after all, I don't know their customs and habits, what if they are doing business?" If it's really unreasonable, there must be so many people next to you, there must be a shot, the key is, we can't understand what they are saying!"
"Those who do the right thing like this are simply bullying people!"
Han Xiaoling said anxiously, "Aren't you quite capable?"
Dared?
Wang Mingyuan also felt that things were very inappropriate, and this operation was indeed too much to say that it was a pull or a scuffle.
"You wait for me to find someone to ask you clearly."
Wang Mingyuan immediately looked towards the crowd and gently patted a young man dressed as a Han Chinese: "Comrade, may I ask, what's going on?"
"Those two men are from the daughter-in-law!" The young man said simply, then looked back at the four people who were pulling together, "I've seen it before, but it's not as exaggerated this time, it's too much. But it's hard to meddle in this kind of thing."
At this moment, an old man hurriedly ran from the side street, squeezed in from the crowd, and yelled angrily at the two tough Miao young men in Miao language.
But even so, the two young men still refused to let go of the two young women, but turned around and yelled at the old man in a more fierce tone.
The old man became more and more angry, and stepped forward and grabbed one of the young men, and slapped him.
At this moment, the young man suddenly became angry, pushed the old man to the ground, and then kicked him, his eyes were blood-red, and he scolded with a whimper, not taking the old man seriously.
Seeing this scene, the people around immediately pointed at the two young men and shouted.
"What did the old man say?" Wang Mingyuan asked the young man next to him again.
"The old man scolded the two of them for being dead-skinned, the way was too much, let them let them go, the old man was from the village of these two girls, but the two young men were quite unreasonable, let the old man better not interfere, otherwise he would be killed!" The young man explained.
"That's too much! Help them!"
Wang Mingyuan turned around and saw Han Xiaoling next to him looking forward to it, and the meaning in his little eyes was as if
It was like she had been robbed.
"Okay, follow me in the car!"
Wang Mingyuan pulled Han Xiaoling, turned around and returned to the car, and after getting in, he started the car and drove towards the crowd, honking his horn wildly at the same time.
Hearing the horn, the onlookers hurriedly stepped aside, and he drove directly to the two speeding over, and when he hit someone, he suddenly stepped on the brakes.
Disturbed by this, the four of them were taken aback, and when they found this opportunity, the two young women finally broke free.
Han Xiaoling beckoned to the two young women: "Get in the car!"
Seeing this, the two seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and without thinking too much, they quickly got into the car.
The two young men quit, slapped the front cover of the car, and yelled at Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan managed so much, started the car again, let the two of them curse and fear, and pressed the horn to speed forward without hesitation.
The two of them also had no tricks, picked up the coal and threw it at the car, smashing the roof of the car.
Wang Mingyuan didn't care about them chasing after them, and after a while, the two of them were gone, and then he found a remote place to stop.
"Finally got rid of it!" Wang Mingyuan let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the two girls got out of the car: "Thank you!"
Speaks very standard Mandarin.
Seeing that he could communicate well, Wang Mingyuan poked his head out with interest and asked with a smile, "You Miao people still bring this kind of robbery, this is too domineering."
"I wasn't going to do this!"
One of the Miao girls said shyly: "According to our custom, if a young boy sees a girl he likes, he can boldly take the other person's hand, and if the girl thinks that the other party is good and worthy of love, he will make some willing expressions, which is almost half pushed.
If the woman is unwilling, the man can't, and is not allowed to force the woman, generally speaking, the man will be very interested in avoiding it, and it is rare to be as dead as today, making it almost like robbing people, even the old man with great prestige in our village came forward, he couldn't shout, it was crazy, it was really scared to death."
Wang Mingyuan smiled: "Probably because you two are too beautiful to control yourself, so you are so crazy."
In fact, Wang Mingyuan has only heard of such a situation occasionally, but he really encountered it today, and it feels very similar to the Dai family's custom of robbing relatives, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "You really met the boy you like, and was shot at the man's house, what will happen next?"
"Then live in the man's house for a while, and of course, the man's family will ask the parents or other members of the family to go to the woman's house and tell the woman's parents that their daughter is in their house and ask them to rest assured." Another girl wiped the sweaty soot from her face with a handkerchief, and instead painted her face black everywhere.
"How long is this going to live?" Han Xiaoling was also very curious.
Faced with this problem, the Miao girl became shy and dragged the girl next to her: "You come ......
"What are you afraid of, they are our benefactors, besides, there are many people who know about this matter, what is there to say." The girl who spoke first was more cheerful and lively: "I usually live for several months, and when I think that life is good and I have a child, I will notify my family and prepare for marriage. Generally speaking, when a child is born, a wedding banquet is held to officially get married. If you are unable to have children...... Most of the things can't be done!"
This...... It's really unusual.
Not only Han Xiaoling, but even Wang Mingyuan felt a little strange.
But the girl continued, "This is a bad habit, and when I graduate and become a teacher, I must tell my students to change this custom. It's so unfair to girls."
"You became a teacher after graduation?" Wang Mingyuan was a little strange: "Where are you studying?"
Here, the general reading atmosphere is not very high.
"Both of us are students sent to Mingcheng Normal College by the state libao, and today we were supposed to end our vacation and prepare to take a bus to Mingcheng, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." The girl said helplessly
"Dressed up and going out, it ended up being a mess."
"Go to Mingcheng, just drop by, let's get on them a little!"
Han Xiaoling said enthusiastically, "It just so happens that there is also a talking companion on the road."
Wang Mingyuan nodded and settled the matter, but he still asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Then if the woman has a partner or in-law, how will they know? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if it did?"
Such a custom is difficult to see in later generations, the wedding habits of the Miao family are almost the same as those of the Han people, and the matter of robbing relatives on the street has almost become a rumor, changing customs and civilization.
"It won't be wrong, whether the girls of our Miao family are married or not, and whether there is a partner, there will be different marks on the clothing, generally speaking, outsiders don't know, only people from their own clan know." The girl laughed.
Wang Mingyuan was about to ask about the difference in the marks on the clothes, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared back by Han Xiaoling with a roll of eyes: "Ask so clearly, do you also want to grab a girl from the Miao family as a daughter-in-law?"
Wang Mingyuan laughed and could only give up.
This little black girl, this shows the posture of the little tigress.
However, he finally understood the meaning of falling in love with a doll, one of the eighteen monsters in Yun Province, probably because of these strange marriage customs that have gone away!
