After watching Xiao Guizhou learn to walk, Brother Jiu carried a bucket and sang mountain songs all the way to rushing down to carry water.

The sister-in-law went to feed the pig, touched the pig's back and said, "Little Guizhou can walk, little Guizhou can walk." ”

The younger sister Jin Hui hummed a mountain song while washing the dishes.

The third sister, Jin Chun, also followed the younger sister.

The fourth brother, Jin Guo, went back to rub the cow rope.

The fifth brother, Jin Han, picks stones to play.

The third uncle walked to the thrush cage hanging on the pepper tree on the side of the dam in the front yard: "Chirp, chirp, chirp" teasing thrush.

Mom fed the Mimi on the left of Xiao Guizhou, and then hugged Xiao Guizhou and turned over to eat the Mimi on the right.

While breastfeeding, he said to himself: "People say that people who walk early are miserable all their lives, son, you can walk in seven months, how will the days to come?" ”

At this time, my mother thought of the dead eldest son, the third son, the seventh son, the eldest daughter, and the dead eldest grandson and granddaughter, and tears flowed down her face.

From time to time, he wiped his eyes with his left hand, looked at the child and said, "Don't be afraid of being bitter or tired, as long as you are well-behaved, the old lady will feed you more Mimi." ”

On the third day of the ninth month, my mother said to the third uncle early in the morning: "October is coming, no matter how busy you are, you have to ask the carpenter uncle and the carpenter uncle to give Jin Hui a dowry." No matter how late it is, the paint can't be painted. ”

The third uncle said, "I'll go and invite you." ”

After that, he picked up the cigarette stick and walked out of the house.

Before he sat down at Uncle Carpenter's house, Uncle Carpenter handed two leaves to Uncle San and opened his mouth first: "Third Master, I can guess if you don't say it, you are here to ask me to give Jin Hui a dowry, aren't you?" ”

The third uncle said: "Exactly, Jin Hui's wedding date is coming in October, and I will ask my uncle and uncle to make her dowry, so as not to be busy." ”

Uncle carpenter said, "You sit, today's day is not good, tomorrow is an auspicious day, auspicious." In the morning, I called my uncle to come together, my own family, don't ask one by one. ”

The third uncle said, "I'd better go to my uncle's house in person!" ”

Uncle carpenter said, "I told you what you think, don't go, tomorrow morning, we will come, but you have to get a few more pounds of climbing wine!" ”

And he said, "The one who is energetic has drunk and is vigorous." ”

"Uncle, when did we get the climbing wine of our Lao clan! All the wicked from outside will be drowned. ”

Uncle Carpenter and Uncle Third both looked at each other and smiled.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, it was a sunny day, in the morning, before the sun appeared, the carpenter uncle held a saw, and the carpenter uncle carried a basket containing tools, and came to the door of the house one after another, and the big black dog did not bark, but wagged his tail and stretched out his tongue to lick the carpenter's pants.

Uncle carpenter said: "Your dog is sensible, can recognize people, good dog, good dog." ”

The third uncle said: "Uncle, I originally went to invite you in person, but the uncle told me not to go, and he invited you on my behalf." ”

As he spoke, he put down the basket for the carpenter's uncle.

Uncle carpenter said: "The eldest brother has said that my own family wants you to run more." ”

As soon as the third uncle put down the basket, the fifth Zhou Jinhan took the leaf cigarette in his left hand and the cigarette stick in his right hand, handed the two leaf cigarettes to the carpenter uncle and said, "Uncle, please fill the cigarette." ”

With his left hand, he handed the cigarette stick to Uncle Carpenter.

Zhou Jinhan walked to the other side and said to the carpenter's uncle, "Uncle, please fill the cigarette." ”

Uncle carpenter said: "This baby is sensible! ”

Before the two of them had wrapped their cigarettes, Jin Hui brought a bowl of sweet wine, held it in both hands and handed it to the carpenter's uncle, saying, "It's too early, uncle!" ”

Turned back to the kitchen and brought a bowl, held it in both hands and handed it to the carpenter's uncle, saying, "Please uncle, too early!" ”

Uncle Yi took the sweet wine cake and handed it to the third uncle and said, "Third brother, you eat first!" ”

The third uncle said: "Brother, these days rely on you and the uncle to show their strength, you eat first, and Jin Hui will bring it immediately." ”

Before he finished speaking, Jin Hui brought another bowl, held it in both hands and handed it to the third uncle, saying, "Third uncle, you can eat it too." ”

After eating the sweet wine, the carpenter uncle said, "Third master, you wipe the big table clean, bring nine pillars of incense and money paper, and I will pay tribute to the Bodhisattva." ”

The third uncle dried the table, and the carpenter uncle placed three high benches on the three sides of the large table.

The third uncle brought three wines and a pot of climbing wine.

The carpenter's uncle put the saw on the big table, took out the axe, the planer, the small saw, the zhuozi, the ink fountain, and the ruler from the basket and laid them on the big table, tore the stuff of the wine jug, poured three glasses of wine, and lit the incense; Bow three times to the shrine and insert incense.

While burning the paper, he read: "Master Luban is on top, and my niece Jin Hui is married, today we will give her a dowry, and I hope the master will be thoughtful." The Bodhisattva is above, the niece is married and the dowry, I hope the Bodhisattva will bless the peace! ”

After the recitation, pour the wine on the ground to the right of the large table in turn, and after pouring the wine, bow to the shrine three times.

The carpenter uncle said to the third uncle standing by the door: "Third master, what kind of dowry do you want to make?" ”

The third uncle said: "Bed, big table, small table, bench, cabinet. ”

The carpenter uncle said to the carpenter's uncle: "Master, you make a small material, I make a big material, these few jobs, my two brothers have finished it in half a month." ”

Half a month, the carpenter's uncle and the carpenter's uncle finished their wedding year, and they used soil paint to filter the paint.

The third uncle's family only waited for the Guo family to come to pick up Jin Hui on the eighth day of October.

On the seventh day of October, the weather was fine, and the Zhou family invited their brothers and neighbors to help Jin Hui make a wedding wine.

The third uncle said to Wang Ximing: "Second brother Wang, you and Zhou Xing have a fever and boil the water to kill the pigs." ”

"Brother Jiang, please be in charge, and you will arrange more than 20 brothers to help."

Not long after, Wang Ximing and Zhou Xing had a fever and caught fire, boiling most of the iron pot water.

Zhu Haozi, a pig killer, stood by the door of the pigsty and shouted to Brother Jiang: "Brother Jiang, send four or five brothers to catch pigs and kill them." ”

Brother Jiang ordered five young men to walk to the edge of the circle and wait, and walked into the pigsty.

Two fat pigs heard the sound of talking outside the circle, pricked up their ears and stood in the middle of the circle, not daring to go out of the circle door, the mother approached the side of the big fat pig, touched the pig's back with her right hand, patted the fat pig's buttocks, and the fat pig slowly walked to the pigsty.

It was too late, it was too fast, Zhu Haozi stepped across the pigsty door with an arrow, lifted the pig's left front foot with his right hand, and the fat pig yelled.

One of the young men grabbed the pig's left ear, one grabbed the pig's right ear, one lifted the right front foot, and the other lifted the left foot, and six people carried the pig to the killing bench, and one person replaced the red hemp.

Zhu Haozi picked up the pig-killing knife from the basket, pressed the pig's mouth with his left hand, and aimed the killing knife at the pig's throat into the throat.

The cry grew louder and weaker, the blood ran out, and the crying stopped.

The forty-nine pieces of money paper that the third uncle brought were wrapped in pig's blood at the killing place, and the money paper was placed under the ancestral tablet on the altar offering board.

Wang Ximing carried the stairs in the hall and placed them on the side of the killing stool, and several young people carried the fat pig on the stairs.

Wang Ximing was in front and Zhou Xingfa was behind, and the two young men in front carried the stairs on Wang Ximing's shoulders, and the two young people in the back lifted the stairs on Zhou Xingfa's shoulders.
