Xiaoli opened the door and saw Fang Wei standing there, she said; "Isn't there something going on at home, why are you here, then come in, don't stand at the door."

Aunt Cui saw the young man who came in, neatly dressed and with a delicate face, looked at Xiaoli and asked; "Xiaoli, isn't this your object?"

Xiaoli took Fang Wei's hand, walked to him, and said; "Fang Wei, this Aunt Cui is my mother's old colleague, it turned out to be an office, and the relationship is very good."

Fang Wei said politely; "Hello, Aunt Cui."

Aunt Cui looked at him, looked up and down for a while, and said; "Such a handsome and sunny young man, no wonder Xiaoli can take a fancy to him, where do you live? I'm in your village, I have a lot of acquaintances, why haven't I seen you? ”

Fang Wei said; "Auntie, my family lives in Beibao, I have been working outside, and I rarely come back, and there are so many young people in the village, even if you have seen me, it is impossible to remember."

Xiaoli said; "Auntie, you can talk to my mother, let's go out for a while, and I won't disturb you."

The two of them walked out of the guest house, Fang Wei asked; "Xiaoli, as soon as you arrived today, an acquaintance came to the door, how did she know that your mother was here?"

Xiaoli said; "We were going to go out for a walk, just walked out of the guest house, I met her, don't forget, my parents are the advance team of the factory, they are serious old people, my parents have worked in the factory for many years, and there are naturally more acquaintances. Besides, how did the two of us meet? Have you forgotten all this? ”

Fang Wei said with a smile; "Xiaoli, don't say it, I really forgot, just kidding you, don't take it seriously, even if I forget myself, I won't forget you."

Xiaoli glanced at him and said; "Don't be poor, let's get serious, my mother and that Aunt Cui have already said that on the day of the wedding, you will go to her house to marry me, and tomorrow at noon, she will have a treat at home, let me go with my mother, there are many old colleagues of my mother, they will come to participate, it is estimated that it will be very lively."

Fang Wei said; "It's a good thing, old colleagues who haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and your mother will be very happy to be together again."

Xiaoli said; "That's natural, my mother can be happy, it's better than anything else."

Fang Wei said in a consultative tone; "Xiaoli, after our wedding, let your mother live in our house for a while, here she has not seen for many years, acquaintances and old colleagues, they are all retired now, idle all day long, mother can visit the door to chat, forget some troubles, this is a good thing."

Xiaoli said; "I had this idea for a long time, before I came, I was still a little worried, but today I saw her and Aunt Cui chatting so hotly, I was so happy. Don't say anything, I'll talk to her at night, see if she has this intention, if she wants to, live here alone, if you don't agree, I'll stay with her, you go back to Nanling first. ”

Fang Wei looked at Xiaoli and said; "If you don't go back, I don't want to go back to Nanling, besides, I don't want to let someone stay alone in the empty room, how boring it is."

Xiaoli's face turned red all of a sudden, pushed him, and said shyly; "You're starting to play poor again, the leaders of our unit won't embarrass me, it's a big deal that I can continue to take vacation, your side is a private enterprise, if you don't go back to work, there will be a lot of trouble, I can't afford this responsibility."

Fang Wei said; "Xiaoli, if you're okay over there, I'll say it better, I don't want that job, I have long wanted to go back to my hometown, do you remember the letter that the old director wrote to me?"

Xiaoli asked, "I still remember that letter, it's been a long time, why did you suddenly mention this matter again, haven't they already given up and bought a chemical plant, have they contacted you again recently." ”

Fang Wei thought for a moment and said; "I haven't been contacted recently, but when we passed by my house on a tour, I met him once, and we talked a lot, and they said they had given up, but in fact, they had been working hard secretly."

Xiaoli asked; "Let's come back for the wedding this time, did you notify them?"

Fang Wei said; "Before we came back, I wrote to him, so I thought it was a notice."

Xiaoli lowered her head and was silent, not talking, Fang Wei didn't know what she was thinking, so it was not easy to say more, the two walked silently.

Fang Wei's wedding was held quite grandly, and the band invited to do the wedding event had a very large lineup, nearly 20 people, with drums and trumpets, and colorful flags, just like a procession, blowing and blowing, passing through the village, and the whole village was sensational.

Xiaoli got up early, washed up, breakfast was already set, she was excited, only ate two bites, put down the chopsticks, the eldest sister saw it, walked to the side and said; Little sister, you eat too little, this is not good, you have to keep going until the evening, if you don't eat water and rice for a day, you can't hold it, and there will be low blood sugar.

Xiaoli looked at the eldest sister and said; "It's just one day, I don't eat or drink, it's not as serious as you say, right?"

The eldest sister said; "It's different from usual, there are so many people at the wedding, you don't have time to rest, either sitting or standing, I've heard that someone used to faint at a wedding because of too long fasting."

Xiaoli said; "Eldest sister, what you said is weird and scary, I just listen to you, I will eat a few more bites, fill my stomach to a full, and I will definitely be able to deal with it."

Aunt Cui came over and said; "Xiaoli, are you ready, can you start putting on makeup, the photographer is here, the bridesmaids are also here, they are all waiting for you."

Xiaoli said; "Aunt Cui, you arranged things so well, I thank you."

Xiaoli is here, preparing to put on makeup, makeup, and taking pictures, Fang Wei is even busier on his side, on the gate of his house, red lanterns are hung as soon as the sky is dawn, and the festive red paper is written with festive words, which are pasted all over the sides of the road to welcome relatives, which is particularly eye-catching.

Relatives and friends left and right neighbors, in groups, came early to congratulate, there were a lot of people attending the wedding, almost standing in the courtyard, people helping and watching the excitement, came one after another.

In Fang Wei's courtyard, there are eight tables, each table can seat eight people, which is an auspicious number. The chef was busy stir-frying, and just after ten o'clock, the principal announced the opening of the table, and the people serving the dishes walked between the tables, guessing whether the fist was lively or not.

Fang Wei's parents looked at the guests at the table, they were all drinking happily, talking and laughing, the old couple was so happy that they were happy, they were happy, and they forgot about toasting the guests.

The principal came over and said; "Old brother, my sister-in-law, you are happy to patronize, there are so many guests, don't neglect relatives and friends, they are still waiting, the main family is going to toast,"

Fang Wei's parents woke up from their excitement and said; "You see, we are too disagreeable, we have forgotten the business, we will go to toast immediately, and we will toast a few more glasses to ensure that the guests are satisfied."

Fang Wei's parents toasted from table to table, and the old couple also had to accompany the guests to drink, and when the toast was about to end, the principal came over and said, "Old brother, you and your sister-in-law should drink less, just deal with it, don't get drunk, and you will have to accept it later, the son and daughter-in-law will bow down." ”

Fang Wei's father said; "Today is my son's wedding celebration, relatives and friends are here to cheer, if I don't accompany the guests, if I drink two glasses, people will think that I have neglected them."

The principal said; "One more thing, I want to tell you, I didn't expect that there were so many people here today, and the original preparation, fifty tables of ingredients, I'm afraid it won't be enough, so I have to send someone to buy it quickly."

After Zhang Wei's father toasted, he grabbed the principal, walked to the side, and said; "You are the principal, you have the final say, if you need to add a few more tables, just add a few more tables, and send someone to buy it quickly."

The principal said; "It's hard to say how many tables to add specifically, it's better to prepare more, you can have more leftovers, your own family can still eat, it's not easy to do if there are fewer things, and then you're in a hurry, the chef can't cook, they will have opinions."

Fang Wei's father said; "Today, everything is entrusted to you, you don't need to discuss with me, go to the account office to pay some money, and send someone to buy it quickly, oh, by the way, you have to buy more cigarettes and alcohol."

At the same time as the banquet for relatives and friends, Fang Wei and Xiaoli, riding a high-headed horse in jujube, were passing through the village and walking towards their homes with the procession of welcoming relatives.

Two newcomers, riding side by side, Xiaoli was happy and uneasy in her heart, the red hijab on her head was slightly lifted by a gust of wind, if it wasn't for her hand, it was almost blown away.

When the team of greeting relatives was about to arrive at the door of the house, with the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers also sounded, and the horn of the greeting band blew more vigorously, and they also twisted Yangge, gongs and drums sounded in unison, which was deafening.

Several older women, shouting at the bride's feet, can't fall to the ground, asking the groom to take the bride off the horse, Fang Wei had to do so, he held Xiaoli, to pass through the lively crowd, was stopped by a few children, dragged the bride's clothes, shouted loudly, asked for candy, Fang Wei quickly took out a handful of candy from his pocket, and threw it to the side, the children scattered in a hurry, scrambling to grab it.

Several women, opening the way in front, shouted loudly for the crowd to give way, and under the guidance of the band, they gathered around the bride to get rid of the entanglement of the people watching the excitement.

The celebrant of the wedding announced; "The auspicious time has come, the wedding begins, the bride and groom are seated, the guests, relatives and friends, and those who have come from afar, the woman's family is seated, the woman's relatives are seated on the left hand side, and the man's relatives are seated on the right hand side."

The lively people in the village crowded the courtyard, and they had never seen Fang Wei's new daughter-in-law, and they were all looking forward to the moment they lifted their hijabs to see what the bride looked like.

Some people can't wait, a young daughter-in-law, walked up to the bride, ripped off, the red hijab on her head, revealing the bride's beautiful face.

All the people in the courtyard let out exclamations, and the young girls, in private, began to talk in private, and one of them was bold and said loudly; "Xiaowei's daughter-in-law is so beautiful, just like a fairy, this is the blessing of that life, to marry such a good girl."

The young man, in particular, stared at the bride with wide eyes, and kept saying; "Xiaowei, this kid, is really blessed, he can marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, just like Dong Yong in the opera, his life is worth living, why don't we have such good luck."

Everyone was talking about it, and there was a noise in the courtyard, and the host felt that it was not okay to go on like this, so he said; "Everyone, be quiet, don't talk loudly, can you be quiet, you guys are so messy, how can I officiate at the wedding?"

Watching the lively people, hearing the host's words, they immediately quieted down, and the host politely introduced Xiaoli's family and said; "The man's relatives, I will also make an introduction."

After introducing the relatives of both sides one by one, the host said; "Please ask the woman's uncle to come to the stage to speak, and everyone applauds and welcomes."

After Uncle Xiaoli spoke, the host led the couple to the hall, where Fang Wei's parents sat on both sides, with the portrait of the ancestor hanging in the middle, and the tribute on the table.

The host asked the two newcomers to kneel, kowtow to the two old people, Wang Wei's parents sat on the chair, happy and didn't know what to do, quickly took out the red envelope and held it in his hand, this is the daughter-in-law's change of mouth fee, Xiaoli walked in front of the two old people and shouted; "Dad, Mom, and daughter-in-law have saluted the second elder."

Xiaoli then bent down, respectfully, bowed to the two old men, the old couple quickly helped up their daughter-in-law, the red envelope they were holding, stuffed it into her hand, and the mother took her daughter-in-law's hand and said; "Good girl, this is a meeting gift for you and your father, don't be too little, hurry up and accept it."

Xiaoli said with a smile; "Mom, we are all a family, and we are so polite, how can I accept you and Dad's money, and I can't break the rules, just accept the red envelope for the time being, and return it to you after today."

The mother-in-law said with a smile; "Girl, according to the rules handed down by the elders, the change fee is very particular, you pass the door today, you will officially become a family, the money given by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, how can there be a reason not to charge, there is a famous hall here, now I won't talk about it, I will take time another day, and I will give you a good talk about the intention of changing the mouth."

In the cheers of everyone at the wedding, the lively end, Fang Wei's family, sent away relatives and friends, left those who helped, and held a thank-you banquet, Fang Wei accompanied them and drank until midnight.

The marriage room was already full of people, most of them were young men, and some ignorant children, as well as a few young daughters-in-law, all of whom were waiting for the cave room.

Northerners have a lot of bad habits, sometimes quite barbaric, even unsightly, some backward places, still retained, this kind of bad rules, the cave house does not pay attention to seniority, regardless of men, women and children, hands and feet, is a common thing, what's more, but also to pull out the lights, a group of people surrounded, on the bride's body, everywhere, what kind of plot, can not be described in words.

Fang Wei knew very well in his heart that he told Xiaoli the truth about the old rules of the cave room, so as not to let her be humiliated in public, and let her hide in the name of sending off guests.
