Chapter 6 Chapel
"Crackle, crackle!"
The sound of firecrackers rang out again, and the cold air on the mountain was filled with the smell of low-quality gunpowder and the smell of fresh pork fresh out of the pot.
The villagers all sat down, chatting about homely things in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"The new daughter-in-law is out!"
With a voice in the house, the door was opened, and Yan Ruohua walked out of it surrounded by her aunts.
The villagers craned their necks and looked at them curiously. Some of the people sitting outside the courtyard were holding on to the door, and some tall young men simply jumped up and leaned against the earthen wall to look in.
This daughter-in-law married from other places is also common in the village, but a bookish and pure city girl like Yan Ruohua is rarely seen on the mountain.
This morning, Yan Ruohua was locked in the house, listening to the women in the house chattering and talking about common words that they didn't understand, and listening to the gradually lively movement in the courtyard outside the door.
Finally, when I could come out, I opened the door, but I didn't expect everyone outside to stare at me, it felt like I was a new object that I had never seen before. In addition, Yan Ruohua has been growing up in the city, and he has never seen so many simple-looking villagers, so he suddenly choked, like a frightened rabbit, and subconsciously wanted to retract.
At this time, a man with a big red flower pinned to his chest stepped forward and grabbed Yan Ruohua's hand steadily, and held it in his arms, it was Zhang Xiaodong.
"This is my daughter-in-law! I'm marrying a daughter-in-law! Zhang Xiaodong shouted excitedly.
"Hahahaha!" The villagers burst into laughter, and their attention was once again focused on Zhang Xiaodong. After all, no matter how rare the daughter-in-law in this city is, she can't work, so it won't be of much use in the hearts of this group of villagers, or this fool can add a little fun to life, so that every villager can get a sense of happiness from their hard days.
Poof! Seeing Zhang Xiaodong pretending to be crazy and stupid, Yan Ruohua didn't know why, she felt that her heart suddenly relaxed, looking at so many people in the village who she had never seen, she was not so frightened just now.
Oh no! I can't laugh, he told me before that I could replace it with fear! Yes, I'm scared!
"Ahem, everyone be quiet! Be quiet! Wang Shan, the village chief, stood up from the main table on crutches and walked to the front.
When the village chief spoke, everyone immediately stopped laughing and quieted down.
"Today, Brother Chunlei invited me to be the wedding officiant. To tell you the truth, although we didn't do this errand when we were young, we have been leaving it for more than ten years. So, I didn't want to come down, after all, the children of the old Sun family and the old Li family got married last year, and I didn't promise it.
However, Xiaodong's child is different, his marriage is a big day in our village. You all say Xiaodong is stupid, and you all think he's stupid. But now people have married such a good daughter-in-law. What does this mean, it means that the days of our village are getting more and more prosperous, and it means that our village is no longer the poor mountain village that no one wants to come to the famous ten miles and eight townships, so at this moment, I must witness it in person! β
"Good!" The villagers clapped their hands and gave the village chief a hand. I just don't know if I really listened to it, or if I wanted the village chief to finish the process quickly and eat the hot pork.
"Ahem." The village chief cleared his throat again.
"The sky is high and the earth is wide, and the sea of people is vast. The two newcomers Luan Feng are auspicious, which is the will of God and a good fate from God. To this end, the bridegroom and bride are first invited to face the heaven and earthββ! β
Zhang Xiaodong and Yan Ruohua are two fools and outsiders. Zhang Chunlei was afraid that they would not understand the instructions of the village chief, so he asked Xiaohuzi and Xiaohuzi's daughter-in-law to guide them to stand on one side.
"Worship heaven and earth to thank you for marriage, kneel down ββ!"
Before Yan Ruohua could react, she saw Zhang Xiaodong kneeling down beside him, so she subconsciously knelt down.
"Thank you for the auspiciousness, a kowtow to ββ!"
"May the earth last forever, and then kowtow to ββ!"
"Looking forward to happiness and well-being, three prostrationsββ! Get upββ! β
Xiao Nizi has barely kowtowed in the past eighteen years, and today she was knocked down, and she couldn't help but be a little confused, but she thought about it, and it seemed that she had to kowtow later, and her mentality was relieved.
"The family is prosperous and the children are prosperous, and they kneel and respect their parents, and they worship the high hall and raise their grace, and kneel down ββ!"
When he landed, Aunt Meng, the wife of the fourth uncle Zhang Chunlei, took a photo frame out of the house and put it on her chest, and sat in front of the two with Zhang Chunlei.
The black-and-white photo in the frame shows a neatly dressed and heroic girl and a restrained spiritual guy, two people sitting side by side, slightly close to each other.
Yan Ruohua looked at the photo, and after a turn of thought, she understood that the uncle sitting in front of her and the aunt who had put on makeup for herself in the house before were not Zhang Xiaodong's parents, but the ones in the photo. She secretly turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaodong, only to find that his eyes were already red.
"Thank you for the nurturing grace of your parents, and ββ! a kowtow"
"Honor your parents and raise your parents, and then kowtow to ββ!"
"Bless your parents with good health and prostrate three timesββ! Get upββ! β
Zhang Xiaodong did not want to salute because the person sitting in front of him was Zhang Chunlei. Instead, he fell to the ground for a long time before he got up. For him, these heads are what he should kowtow for his parents.
The parents in the photo are the wedding photos they took when they went to the county civil affairs bureau to register their marriage, and they only have this group photo in their lives.
Although being reborn back to the wedding night can give him a chance to repay and save Yan Ruohua. But if he has a choice, he prefers to go back to the moment when his parents left home to go out to work, and then tell them fluently that he is not stupid, that he can count, and that he can memorize ancient poems, so that they don't go to such a dangerous place to work in order to make money.
But there is no if, since he has come to this moment, then he can only look forward.
Seeing the subtle knowledge, Wang Shan's presiding words are all immutable words, and they have not been modified to more appropriate expressions because Zhang Xiaodong's biological parents have passed away, but refer to Zhang Chunlei and Aunt Meng as parents.
Well-being? Retirement? All these beautiful words mean the same thing at the moment, and that is perfunctory and disdainful of a fool like him.
"A hundred years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of repair can be slept together. The bride and groom face each other, and the husband and wife kneel in front of the flower hallββ! β
Zhang Xiaodong and Yan Ruohua turned to face each other, Zhang Xiaodong looked at her, and Yan Ruohua looked at her toes.
"Dad, mother. Today, you testify that the woman in front of you is the one who redeemed her son in her previous life, and she is also the most important woman to her son, without her, her son would not have had his later life. In this life, her son must make her happy! β
While thinking, Zhang Xiaodong and Yan Ruohua knelt down face to face.
Although he still decided to send Yan Ruohua out of the mountains, although the marriage between the two was essentially uncountable. But in Zhang Xiaodong's heart, it is true at this moment. The woman on the other side was his wife.
And in Yan Ruohua's heart at this moment, it is difficult to calm down at this moment. She kept looking at the ground, not daring to look up into the man's eyes.
Obviously, they have only known each other for one night, and Yan Ruohua will not have any thoughts about this man. But whether it was the bowl of noodles last night, or the red eyes that had just seen him, it made Yan Ruohua feel a strange emotion in his heart, very awkward.
He is my benefactor, Yan Ruohua told herself in her heart. He is willing to find a way to send me down the mountain, and when I come to my father's in the future, I will definitely find a way to repay him.
Interrupting the complicated thoughts of the two people, the voice of the village chief Wang Shan continued to sound:
"Qiankun to worship Qin Se and Ming, kowtow to ββ!"
"Mandarin ducks and husbands and wives are concentric, and then kowtow to ββ!"
"The husband sings and the wife gets a noble son as soon as possible, and the three kowtows ββ!"
"Rite into ββ!"
