Chapter Twenty-Nine: In order to eat the feast, the price of gift money has increased
The morning fog dissipated, and Xu Shulong came out wearing a coat with a sleepy face.
Longshi is like this, although it is the middle of summer, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is too large, the sun is scorching during the day, the sun hurts the scalp, but sometimes you need to cover the blanket when you sleep at night, as for the air conditioner, don't be funny, this thing is not needed at all, so many people come to Longshi every year to escape the heat.
Not to mention that it's still rural.
The morning glow is dazzling on the horizon, the distant mountains are lying horizontally, there are birds gliding by, but the courtyard is still quiet, but there are firecrackers in the distance.
After a brief wash, the rest of the staff got up one after another.
"Didn't the people who worked here?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, I said last night that there was a happy event in the village, and I won't be here today!"
After all, they are outsiders, and there are still some things in this yard that need to be cleaned up and made, so they also asked a few local villagers to help.
"Happy event?"
No wonder there was the sound of firecrackers, a few people simply ate a little, and then walked along the path through the ridge pond to the official road, just in time to see the black wedding cars speeding by.
"So many people?"
Although it is a little far away, you can still see that there are a lot of people at the door of the official road, and the popularity of this family in the village is quite high.
"Director Xu, why don't we also go over and follow a molecule?"
Qin Lu, the assistant next to him, suddenly said.
Xu Shulong thought about it and agreed, they will stay in this village for almost three months, so naturally they can't avoid dealing with the villagers, and showing their faces in the past today can be regarded as meeting in the real sense.
"Then you come with me!"
There are a lot of staff, and they can't all go over, just two people as a representative.
When it was close to twelve o'clock, Xu Shulong saw that the wedding car was back, and it happened to stop on the official road not far from him.
"What is this for?"
"The boy doesn't understand?"
"Oh, you're those strangers!"
The people who watched the excitement also came over, turned their heads to look at Xu Shulong and the others, and Aunt Wang smiled and said, "This is called pulling a car!" ”
After a brief explanation of the cart, Xu Shulong and others suddenly realized.
"I didn't expect this custom to exist!"
is talking, Niu Erma's mother has already started to pull the car, of course, this is also a look, children and many people are shouting loudly next to them.
Xu Shulong and the others were really infected, and then followed the car and walked down.
After tossing for about ten minutes, the car finally arrived at the door of Niu Er's house.
"And this custom, I haven't seen it before, but we have a lot of customs in Pengcheng!"
At this time, at the door, Zhou You also took Liu Qingyao to watch the excitement, no, it should be said that Liu Qingyao took Zhou You to watch the excitement, she had to see it.
After all, it's the first time I've seen it, and my face is full of excitement and novelty.
Zhou You leaned against the door, watching Niu Er knock on the door with interest, at this time, the music was mixed with the sound of firecrackers, as well as the sound of coaxing, deafening, no one knew what the groom was doing.
But......
Someone frowned.
"What's the situation?"
"Why haven't you gotten out of the car yet?"
"Hurry up and carry it in!"
At this time, Niu Er was going to carry his new daughter-in-law into the door, and then go to the new house to change clothes and make up for makeup, and the wedding would be held at that time, but Niu Er had already opened the car door and stood for a while.
Soon, everyone knew what had happened.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, something went wrong, what kind of fee did they say they wanted for 8888, otherwise they wouldn't get out of the car!"
Zhou Hao ran over in a hurry, obviously inquiring about the news.
Zhou You was stunned, 8888?
Obediently, although it is true that some people will ask for money when they open the door when they get married here, but it is generally a few hundred yuan, this one is good, directly 8888.
Where to get so much money at this time!
"What's going on?"
"I don't know!"
"It seems to be a gift!"
Xu Shulong also noticed it, and originally wanted to see the bride, but the bride never came out!
But they are foreigners, and they think it is a local custom.
But at this time, on the side of the wedding car, Niu Er was already sweating profusely, fortunately, his second uncle came over and began to chat with the elders on the bride's side, but obviously, it was still not solved for a while.
Seeing this, the old village chief came over and chatted with the woman's elders!
In the end, I don't know if an agreement was reached, Niu Er finally carried the bride in, but some people noticed that Niu Er, his second uncle and his mother were not very good-looking.
"How can this be, I heard that the bride price has been given a lot, do you still need 8888 to enter the door?"
Zhou Hao was obviously a little unhappy, maybe he thought of himself, after all, he was going to get married in two years, and he would have to empty his home when the time came!
"Okay, if you want to share the burden for your family, just follow me to learn more, as long as you learn from me one or two percent, let alone get married, it's no problem to buy a house in the city!"
Zhou You knocked Zhou Hao's head, turned around and walked inside.
What 8888, even 188888, has nothing to do with him!
"It's Xiao Fang's house!"
"This house, it feels like ten or twenty years!"
"Hey, the child suffered, but fortunately he asked for more!"
"But...... Why are there so many people in his family! ”
"Fortunately, it seems that now it seems that at least his family's interpersonal relationships in the village are handled well!"
A few relatives and friends of the woman who sent off relatives began to dislike the old house as soon as they entered the door, but when they saw the big scene, they didn't dare to say anything, after all, it was a happy event, and if someone really made a fuss, it would be the enemy of the two families.
However, when a few people came in, they suddenly noticed the gift list posted on the wall and were shocked.
"This ...... 1000、800、500…… It's all hundreds! ”
"How much money is this going on!"
"I have to tell Xiaofang, she has to collect some money!"
Longshi, especially in the countryside, has this custom for marriage, that is, the gift money is on the wall, such as so-and-so, and the number is written behind!
Although the bride and Niu Er are not from the same village, they are also from the same township, so they can naturally understand it at a glance.
At this time, Xu Shulong also took Qin Lu to find a place to give gifts, which was actually very eye-catching, because a table was usually arranged at the door, and those who wrote well or were older in the same village received gifts.
"You guys?"
The old gentleman who received the gift helped his glasses, took the two hundred yuan casually, and looked up at the two of them.
Unfamiliar faces?
Xu Shulong knew that the other party asked for his name, and said, "Just write about traveling!" ”
They just came to mix up familiar faces, and they didn't think about returning the gift in the future, so they subconsciously used the name of Zhou You.
The old teacher was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Oh, you are Xiao Zhou's friends, then you don't need this money, if you want to sit at the table, just go in!" ”
Before Xu Shulong could react, the two hundred yuan was stuffed back.
What's the situation?
Traveling around with such a big face?
But before he could speak, he was already squeezed back a few steps.
At the same time, I heard someone whispering, "Why is this gift so high?" ”
Xu Shulong They are from the city, so they naturally don't know that the rural rites are generally fifty hundred, but Niu Er and his third aunt know!
So when she was about to give a gift with two hundred yuan, and saw that several villagers from the same village on the gift list were also two hundred, she could only grit her teeth and take out a few more from her wallet!
The middle-aged man next to him was also a little surprised: "Hey, are the people in Lingqu Village crazy?" Is the etiquette so high? ”
Niu Er's aunt and uncle were stunned!
How did they know, because the whole village wanted to eat a luxurious banquet of 20 dishes, the gift money naturally rose!
