Volume 1 Native Thoughts Chapter 4 Take It Away

Wang Dashi is still ignorant, and always feels that marrying a daughter-in-law with a few more people in the family is considered a big family. However, he was afraid of leprosy, and he was afraid that after getting married, his daughter-in-law would fall ill and scare him to die by rushing to the wall, so he asked the brothers Dafuyou and Dafuzuo in the neighborhood.

Daifuku right and Daifuku left try to enjoy themselves, but they are also old and unmarried, and they depend on each other with the same disease. However, Daifuku Zuo is a serious person, does not hide this matter, does not understand this way, and does not follow his words. And Daifuku's right mouth can support the river to cross the boat and run the carriage, saying that a woman with a leprosy disease can kill a man by digging out her chest and scratching her back at night. When Wang Dashi heard this, he was even more frightened.

Wang Dashi asked Dafu right to help figure out a way.

Dafu asked Wang Dashi to provide him with food for three days, which could help him defend himself.

Wang Dashi ate this meal by himself, touched a pheasant and gave it to Dafu's right mouth, and Dafu's right taught him the art of self-defense.

Daifuku instigated him to make a chest pocket, a back pocket and a hanging bell, and especially told him to make an iron appearance. Wang Dashi hesitated at first, then felt that it made sense, and thought about finding an iron shop.

The blacksmith master was more than eighty years old, and when he heard that he had to make iron chest pockets, iron back pockets and hanging bells, he grinned.

Wang Dashi saw him smiling, and he didn't know why, so he was stunned and looked at him with slanted eyes.

The blacksmith was smiling heartily, when a rusty iron tooth flap the size of a soybean fell into the furnace and exploded, and then a fishy stench spread, provoking the black-skinned wildcat to find him. The black-skinned wildcat clung to the stove, did not hesitate to roast three whiskers, stretched out its paws, and put the broken teeth on its tongue, so hot that it grunted and moved its ears and cheeks.

The blacksmith master felt bad, stopped laughing, and replied to Wang Dashi: "You are really a bad thing, you have caused my shit teeth to fall out, and caused the wild cat to suffer!

Wang Dashi was long-winded, and the blacksmith master shook his hand and didn't do it.

Wang Dashi sighed and found the second iron shop. When the blacksmith asked him why he did this, Wang Dashi said, "Woman, woman...... Oh, daughter-in-law...... My daughter-in-law is sick with numbness, and if she grabs my chest at night, she will be guarded by a chest sticker, if she pulls my back, she will be guarded by an iron bag, and if she pulls my skin, the hanging bell will ring to remind me, and I can use my hands to protect me!"

The blacksmith thought for a long time, and didn't know how to start with these three-piece sets, in order to avoid suspicion of poor craftsmanship, he said: "You go back and find cowhide, pigskin, dog skin, sheepskin, and find a set of needlework female red from a big family, soft and easy to use!"

Wang Dashi had no identity to find a big family to find a female celebrity, so he felt and sewed a sheepskin chest pocket and back pocket, tied a bell, and didn't care about marrying a wife.

Appointment, according to local customs, must be adherent, greeting, economic cooperation, invitation and welcome gifts. Nayi, that is, through the matchmaker, matchmaking, matching men and women to meet, the two parties adapt, and putting forward the intention of marriage. Asking the year is to know the birthdate, name, family affairs and relatives of both men and women, such as: family siblings and relatives, the relationship between relatives, whether there are officials, whether there are diseases, family business and family status, etc. The economic combination is to push the eight characters of the birth date of both men and women through Mr. Yin and Yang. The invitation period, that is, the so-called sending day, Mr. Yin and Yang push the birth of the eight characters, the conjunction of the zodiac auspicious day, another taboo reminder, such as: the day of the wedding when to go out, when to enter, sit on the bed to face, when to enter the cave room, etc., the man will inform the woman in detail, and the woman to discuss; from the date of the invitation to the day of the wedding, every New Year's festival to celebrate, give a bride price. Welcome, that is, the day before the wedding, the collegial man marries the woman, and the red tape is trivial, and the etiquette is obedient one by one.

Because of the woman's remarriage (remarriage), the man does not understand the family and the world, many do not follow the ordinary rules, acceptance, asking the year, and the three rites of economic cooperation, even if it is completed, the current period should be after the invitation period, to celebrate and give a bride price.

Roosters, carp, pork plates, fruit fillings and new clothes are given according to local customs. For the auspicious and festive purposes, the items sent should be in an even number, implying pairs. Pork plate meat to choose lean meat, folk singing: one catty, two catties pad the bridge of the nose, three catties, four catties to support the cheeks...... The so-called poor sour door, send less, not enough flat cheeks to pad the bridge of the nose, so it is said to send six catties, eight catties to go up.

Wang Dashi lacked education, was gossip, judged and ridiculed and despised, tossed and scared, tossed stupid, he had a lot of anger in his heart, wanted to do something decent and big, he didn't explain to anyone, hidden from Wang Lichang, and ran to the woman's house to "get married".

The daughter's marriage is like spilling out of the water, don't expect the old to be happy, all you can think of in front of you is that the future son-in-law understands etiquette and taste, lives a good life, and does not let the daughter suffer. But at the moment, the woman's parents saw Wang Dashi's bare hands and came swaggeringly, and they didn't understand the etiquette, but they thought that he was a selected baby, without his mother's control, it was not easy to live with his adoptive father, and it was inconvenient to care, so they just hoped that the two of them could live a good life after marriage. However, Wang Dashi's performance that day was unsatisfactory. In the afternoon, the woman's family prepared a table of good dishes, because Wang Dashi's family was poor, and he couldn't eat wine and meat on weekdays.

After lunch, he was considered to have been married, and changed his name to the second old mother-in-law and father-in-law, but Wang Dashi was drunk after eating, and called him "crooked father" and "crooked mother".

The second elder listened to it unpleasantly, and felt sorry for himself, but there was nothing he could do.

Wang Dashi is happy. On the way home, the villagers asked him what gifts he had given to his future daughter-in-law and father-in-law? Wang Dashi was blindsided for a while, he didn't think that there was such a thing as "preparing gifts", and he thought about it in his heart, and he was afraid that the lack of etiquette would make the woman unhappy, so he went to Dafuyou and Dafuzuo brothers to ask about things. Dafuku sent him back to get his adoptive father, Wang Lichang, to apologize to his father-in-law's house, while Daifuku sent him to touch two fish, catch two roosters, and send the gift over to make up for it.

Wang Dashi felt that he had grown up and didn't want to disturb Wang Lichang anymore, so he believed Dafuyou's words.

However, Wang Dashi's fate was really bad, he did not touch any fish in the river, but caught two turtles, and did not catch a rooster in the chicken coop, but picked eggs in the pile of broken grass. Wang Dashi put the eggs in the basket, found two pieces of red paper to wrap the two turtles, looked at the two old turtles and a basket of eggs, and smiled. Convinced that he would complete this beautiful deed on his own, he prepared the turtle and eggs early the next morning. The woman's parents were cooking home-cooked food and selling good wine. Wang Dashi ate and drank well, his mouth became sticky, first called "crooked father, crooked mother", and then knocked on the table and smashed the board to complain about grievances, but he called his father-in-law a brother and brother. The woman's parents were speechless, and scolded him in their hearts for being poor in wine and uneducated.

Full of wine and food, Wang Dashi made up for the generous gift. The woman's parents looked at the two gifts and really had nothing to say, the father was so angry that his face turned pale, and he picked up the shovel and chased after Wang Dashi: "You dog mongrel, call us two 'crooked father' and 'crooked mother', let's not talk about it; you are neither big nor small, 'call brother and brother', we can bear it; we tolerate you everywhere, you have no conscience like this, you dog mongrel, do you deliberately insult, or do you straight-brained and don't turn, quickly take away your bastard and eggs!"
