After entering the village, the man sitting in the truck compartment got off the car with a bamboo basket full of flower buns and melon seeds and candy. Everyone followed the wedding car and drove towards the courtyard of Village Chief Zhao's house. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the village chief Zhao's family added boxes (jewelry, clothes, bed sheets, quilt covers, cash, etc. given to the woman by people in the village who were close to the woman) (the woman's close relatives, who were going to go to the man's house with the woman to send off relatives and be guests for dinner) had already gathered in the courtyard.

Grandma Yingqin got out of the car and sang a Xizhou ballad, to the effect that the two newlyweds got married, and the two families became relatives, blessing the newlyweds and so on. After the ceremony, the woman invited the people who came to marry and the gifts they brought into the courtyard, and each person gave out a pack of cigarettes and a bowl of milk tea as a reception for the guests.

After the simple reception was completed, the new furniture made by Yang Liufang was carried onto the carriages of the two cars. At this time, a familiar person appeared, Wang Yanhua, a salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative, as today's "gift-bearer", and also the bridesmaid invited by the woman. I saw her holding two rice bowls with red paper sticking to the woman's marriage (the woman married and married a pair of bowls, which means that the clothes are constantly after going to her mother-in-law's house) and a red leather bag, and walked out with the person who sent her relatives, and sat in the carriages of the two cars that came to marry with the people who came to greet her.

Immediately afterwards, the bride Zhao Yinhua wore a red wedding dress and red shoes, crying loudly, and was carried out by a brother of the same clan. Zhao Yinhua, who was crying loudly, cried so much that it caused some older people to send their relatives to have red eyes, and they all praised this girl for not raising her in vain and being filial.

After going out, she was sent to the passenger seat at the front of the car, and before her grandmother got into the car, Zhao Yinhua quickly threw down a pair of chopsticks, which said that she would not take away her mother's money. After throwing it away, the grandmother got into the car and closed the door. Qin Jiajun received an order from the grandmother of the group to start the truck.

Just as he was about to leave, the tractor master who followed him ran over and said that the crank (a tool used by the tractor to start) was missing. The grandmother had to open the door and get out of the car, taking Wang Shan, who had not yet gotten into the car, holding a red envelope and sending it to the person standing at the door to send her relatives. The two cars restarted, and then they set off with peace of mind.

Although Yang Liufang is a friend of the man's Wang Shan, this time because of the hard work of making furniture, he was sat on the tractor behind him as the woman's boxer and Wang Shan, and when he saw Wang Yanhua sitting opposite him, he greeted: "When did you come back?" ”

"Last night." After Yanhua answered with a red face, she lowered her head. Because he was stared at by Wang Shan and Yang Liufang, there was no such nature in the supply and marketing cooperative.

On the way, Yang Liufang asked Wang Shan again: "Shouldn't my sister-in-law be happy to get married today?" Why are you crying so sadly? ”

"Fake! Crying means reluctance, and if you don't cry, you will be scolded for having no conscience. Wang Shan whispered to Yang Liufang.

"Oh, I see."

As soon as the two cars entered the village, the people who gathered at the entrance of the village to get married set off firecrackers, and then walked towards Wang Shan's house with the happy car in a mighty and joyful hug. The loudspeakers in the village also began to play festive singing, resounding throughout Wangshawan.

The vehicle arrived at the door of Wang Shan's house, and the relatives and relatives carried the furniture on the car into the cave, and the guests of the first courtyard were shocked to see the colorful and exquisite antique furniture, and gave Yang Liufang a free advertisement.

Suddenly, firecrackers rang out, followed by a few gongs, the car door opened, and Wang Shan stood under the car door, holding a piece of red silk in his hand, and handed it to his grandmother. The grandmother took one end and handed it to Zhao Yinhua, Wang Shan pulled the other end, and the bride Yinhua got out of the car. The deacons standing behind the king's mountain, holding a bucket, took out colored paper flowers with salt and grains and scattered them on them to ward off evil spirits. Then in everyone's blessing and commotion, the bride Yinhua was taken into the new house. With her, there is also Wang Yanhua who is holding a rice bowl and a red handbag.

When the two entered, the door was locked by the grandmother, and the noisy people clamored to see the bride. At this time, according to custom, the silver flower pierced the red window paper. The curious Yang Liufang and everyone saw the silver flowers and Yanhua sitting on the kang together in the cave through the hole in the window paper, and the kang head was sprinkled with walnuts and red dates, which symbolized reunion and early birth of a noble son in the customs.

By noon, the wedding ceremony was officially held, and the male and female guests had already sat down at the table, but before the food was served, there was another burst of firecrackers, and the deacon shouted: "Please worship heaven and earth." ”

I saw my grandmother and Wang Yanhua walking out of the new house with Zhao Yinhua on her head on her head on her left and right. Wang Shan was already standing in front of the table at the entrance of the cave, and a red cloth like a carpet was spread out in the open space between him and the table. The bride was guided to the right side of the mountain, and the two stood still, while the guests stood up and watched.

"Worship heaven and earth." The deacon shouted.

The two newcomers bowed, knelt down and kowtowed, and got up.

"Two worship the high hall."

At this time, Wang Shan's parents came forward with the tablet of their ancestors, and the two newcomers continued to kowtow. Wang Shan's parents held the ancestral tablet, beamed with joy, and accepted the bow of a couple. Wang Yanhua, the salute bearer, stepped forward and took out the shoes and red socks prepared for Wang Shan's parents from her purse and presented them. Wang Shan's parents took it with satisfaction and gave Wang Yanhua a red envelope to show their gratitude.

"Husband and wife worship each other!"

At this time, the two newcomers stood separately on the red cloth, and everyone began to coax, some let kowtow, some let kiss, and shouted wildly. Some people began to move their hands and feet on the bride and groom, some pressed their heads, some pushed their waists. Yang Liufang and Qin Jiajun stood relatively high and were also involved. Yang Liufang didn't pay attention and was pushed to Wang Shan, while Qin Jiajun was pushed to Wang Yanhua at once, and everyone continued to make noise. The Qin family, who was born in the military, was powerful, and protected Wang Yanhua with open arms, and one accidentally kissed Wang Yanhua on the head, and Wang Yanhua, who was holding a leather bag, was crowded by people and couldn't dodge, so he had to blush and scold loudly: "Shameless!" But it was quickly drowned out by everyone's commotion.

The excitement lasted for half an hour before it stopped. The deacon shouted many times: "Invite the guests to their seats, and the meal is ready!" ...... "Everyone just dispersed and sat down.

Then it's time to bless the couple and thank the guests. At this time, the two newcomers had been tossed and weakened, and even Qin Jiajun was troubled by this, and accidentally kissed the bridesmaids, and he sat on the table of the man's guests with a red face and panted without speaking.

But at this moment, the wedding is not over, and the people who greet and send off the relatives all go around to the door, allowing the newlyweds to enter the cave room first. According to tradition, whoever enters the cave house first means that whoever will be in charge of the house in the future. Yinhua's red hijab had already fallen off, and with the help of her relatives, Yanhua was the first to enter the cave room. Wang Shan married the woman he liked, so he didn't rob it at all, but ran to the Qin family army and paid it first.

"Brother Qin, don't mind, this is the custom here in Emeng (our)."

"You know, I've been involved in a comrade-in-arms' wedding, but it's not as big as you guys here."

"Brother Qin, the banquet will be held in a while, and the village chiefs of Shili and Eight Villages are here, and I want to ask you for a favor. Excuse me, as the elder brother of the Ejia family, to support the Ejia family. Follow the table to toast. ”

"Oh, there's nothing to say, I'm here to help!" Qin Jiajun readily agreed.

"Then thank you, Brother Qin, you will eat a few bites first when the food is served."

"Okay, you go get busy."

Immediately after the feast, the noodle dishes are the eight traditional bowls of Xizhou: stewed mutton, braised beef, braised chicken nuggets, steamed fragrant hairtail fish, hot and sour soup, beef balls roasted cabbage, braised tofu with smoked bamboo shoots, Yipin Eight Treasures Rice, and two bottles of Xifeng wine. The women were busy eating, and the men were drinking in a variety of ways.

The guests ate for a while, and the deacon came out with the newlyweds to thank the guests. Qin Jiajun was invited to follow the man to hold the wine, and the woman was Wang Yanhua who held the wine. They first saluted from the matchmaker, and then the village leaders who came to attend the wedding, and everyone happily accepted the toast of the newlyweds, and some even quipped: "Which of the four of you will salute the newlyweds first?" ”

provoked everyone to follow suit, Yanhua was so ashamed that she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word. When they learned that Qin Jiajun was a platoon commander in the army, the village leaders even paid tribute to Qin Jiajun.

Yang Liufang and Shi Village Chief sat together for a banquet, took the newcomer's toast, and after wishing them a hundred years of good together, he also joked with Qin Jiajun: "Brother Qin, you and Sister Yanhua are talented and beautiful, so you can marry her." ”

"Go, don't talk nonsense!" Everyone followed with another round of coaxing. Qin Jiajun also blushed when he heard it, and he didn't know if he was drinking or really shy.
