Chapter 186: Will You Choose to Stay or Return to the Future?
The day before the wedding, for the groom, the wedding process begins.
On this day, relatives and friends of the Chen family will come to the Chen family to pay gifts.
The neighbors who came to help the production team helped to paste the characters, pull the flowers, and wrap the bedding.
The Chen family was even more overjoyed, standing at the gate of the courtyard and busily ushering in the send-off.
Zhao Caifeng came out of the police station and was sent directly to study, and he couldn't come back for ten days and a half months.
Chen Shanlin breathed a sigh of relief, even if he knew that Zhao Caifeng's study should be Chen Shanhe's handiwork.
Chen Shanhe, as a groom, is the most relaxed, just follow the steward.
There will be a person similar to the "general manager" for the whole wedding, arranging what you should do, what should he do, what time the process should be like, and what people will say.
This steward is often a very prestigious elder in the production brigade. Generally, everyone will invite him if there is a red thing.
The chief manager of Chen Shanhe's wedding, he wants to call the seventh uncle.
The seventh uncle was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and the arrangements for everyone were clear.
Who is the accountant and who is the cashier, who is responsible for purchasing, who is responsible for boiling water, who is at which table, etc., are all decided by the seventh uncle.
After lunch, it was Chen Shanhe's turn to be busy, and he first had to go to the graves of the ancestors and ancestors of the Chen family.
Our country is very large, and the customs are different from place to place.
In many places, there will be family ancestral halls, which enshrine ancestral tablets, and it is easier to worship.
On the side of the Hou'an Production Brigade, they all go directly to the grave to kowtow.
The ancestral grave of the Chen family is in a wasteland to the east of the production brigade, and it takes 20 minutes to walk from the Chen family.
The Chen family is not a big family, and there are more than ten graves of all sizes for several generations, and there are no tombstones.
When he arrived at the grave, the seventh uncle would stretch his voice and shout a sentence like a chant.
It probably means that whoever is your grandson, Chen Shanhe, wants to marry a daughter-in-law to give you good news.
However, there are not many graves that require Chen Shanhe to kowtow, but he needs to add new yellow paper to each grave.
Then light a fire to burn paper money and tribute.
Finally, put a string of earth whips and it is over.
After the ancestor comes back, it is the door that rings.
The ringing of the door is similar to the meaning of ancestor worship, except that one is to tell the dead and the other is to inform the living.
The seventh uncle was holding a piece of red paper in his hand, and the red paper was ranked according to the blood relationship from near to far.
The ringing door is that Chen Shanhe needs to follow the seventh uncle one by one to kowtow to the elders of the same village whose names are on the red paper.
The suona team opened the way in front, followed by the seventh uncle and Chen Shanhe, and behind Chen Shanhe was a group of old and weak women and children watching the excitement.
The first stop is Chen Shanhe's uncle's house.
The suona team waited for Chen Shanhe and the seventh uncle to arrive at the gate of the courtyard, and then stopped playing music.
The seventh uncle still sang the lyrics with a long voice.
The meaning is similar to that of the grave.
Chen Jianguo, your nephew is here to give you good news when he gets married.
Everyone understands this process, Chen Jianguo and his wife waited at home early, and when they heard the shout, they came out of the house.
Uncle Seven's hand shook and put the red square cotton mat he had been carrying in front of Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe knelt down upright and kowtowed to Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and the eldest aunt took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Shanhe's pocket.
Then the suona team played music and went to the next house.
The relationship is from near to far, and whether to kowtow or not is also determined according to the relationship, generally shouting for Chen Shanhe to kowtow, but some people who are slightly far away, or relatively young, will stop it in advance and not let Chen Shanhe's knees fall to the ground.
Of course, the size of the red envelope is also determined by the relationship.
After a circle, Chen Shanhe knocked over most of the production team.
Behind you, the crowd gathered into a long line.
When I came out of the last house, it was already dark, and every house was lit by candlelight or oil lamps.
Chen Shanhe patted the soil on his knees and looked up at the starry sky.
I don't know how Jiang Shiyue is doing today?
**
Jiang Shiyue was more comfortable than Chen Shanhe.
After the four of them slept until they woke up, at the suggestion of Jiang Shiyue, a group of four people took a bus to the county seat to go shopping.
There is really nothing to buy, mainly to eat local snacks.
The county where the Hou'an Production Brigade is located is called Nanting County.
Nanting County is a very old city, and some of the urban areas are really antique, and it is said that there were many celebrities in the past.
The specialties of Nanting County are roast chicken and donkey meat.
Jiang Shiyue and the others went to the local attractions to walk around in order to pass the time.
There is no travel in these years, even if someone wants to go to the scenic spots to play, they can't talk about tourism openly, and they generally say that they are distracted.
The most famous thing in Nanting is a courtyard house.
It is said that this courtyard house has a history of thousands of years, and it is integrated with attack and defense. The large courtyard sets the small courtyard.
It was the residence of a nobleman in ancient times.
The outer city wall is used for attack and defense, and the inner wall is divided into a subordinate room, a private school, a tool room, and a stage.
To Jiang Shiyue's surprise, Yangyang seemed to be more interested in this ancient city, so he touched it here and there.
Just when Jiang Shiyue wondered if Yang Yang was an ancient traverser, Yang Yang suddenly looked up at Jiang Shiyue, "What will it look like in forty years?" ”
Jiang Shiyue didn't react for a moment, "What? ”
"What do you say you will be like forty years later, forty years later?"
Jiang Shiyue: "......"
Jiang Shiyue was frightened, and her apricot eyes widened. Looking left and right, seeing that Li Chun and Lu Zheng were still in the distance, he was relieved because of the heated debate on the use of the square hole on the wall, and subconsciously wanted to ask Yangyang: "When did I say that I came from forty years later?" ”
Before the words came out, I remembered that when I first crossed over, I was very confused and complained about Yangyang, who couldn't speak, as a tree hole.
Jiang Shiyue touched the tip of her nose and snorted, "I just said it casually to tease you." ”
Yang Yang looked at Jiang Shiyue and said nothing.
After a while, Jiang Shiyue sighed lightly, "Children who are too smart are sometimes not cute!" "It's hard to fool.
She sat on the city wall and faced Yang Yang, and stretched out the tail finger of her right hand, "Let's pull the hook, you have to keep what I say to you secret!" ”
Yang Yang nodded, and his little hand stretched out to pull the hook with Jiang Shiyue.
"Forty years later, our country has progressed in all respects and has quickly become very strong. Airplanes are readily available, trains are traveling at hundreds of speeds per hour, and the streets and alleys are full of cars. People live in high-rise buildings, and there are mobile phones and Internet ...... that are not available now," Jiang Shiyue said, raising her head and looking into the distance, her eyes a little nostalgic.
It's been half a year since the soul pierced here, and the experience of the previous life has begun to blur.
Yang Yang listened quietly throughout the whole process, and his eyes fell on Jiang Shiyue's face from time to time, thoughtfully.
Jiang Shiyue noticed Yang Yang's expression and asked him, "Yang Yang, why are you so young and old?" Are you from thousands of years ago? ”
Yang Yang shook his head, "I am your son." ”
He looked at Jiang Shiyue's eyes and hesitated to speak: "You...... Will you go back? ”
Jiang Shiyue shook her head and spread her hands, "I don't know, it's not something I can decide." ”
"If you had to choose now, would you choose to stay or go back to the future?" Yang Yang changed the question.
