Chapter 125 Happy Events and Mourning 2
The yard of Cao's uncle's house was already filled with people. Even the word "囍" was posted on the trees. The wardrobe, sewing machine, motorcycle, large color TV, dressing table, bed, Simmons mattress, eight single benches, four benches, etc. were already placed on the roadside, waiting to be loaded. There were also quilt covers, clothes and other fragments had not been taken out. It can be seen that Uncle Xiao loved his daughter so much! He actually gave so many dowry.
This is rare in rural areas. Generally, the man takes a lot of bride gifts, the woman adds a little, and then gets a dowry back. If the family conditions are worse, the parents are more selfish and leave the dowry money and don’t give it. Of course, there are also generous parents. They are afraid that their daughter will endure hardships after marrying, and often dowry a lot of things. Some also secretly use the dowry money and their own feelings to their daughter as "private money".
In rural wedding banquets, single days are the women's main seats, and two days are the men's main seats. Generally, the eighty-eighth and twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar is a good day, and the corresponding woman is the seventh-eighth day. There is a special point in this. For example, the woman's family helps the sixth-eighth day and the seventh-eighth day; the man's family helps the seventh-eighth day, and the eighth-eighth day. Then the woman "returns to the door" in three days. From the seventh-eighth day, the ninth-eighth day is exactly three days. The ninth-eighth day is called "returning to the parents' home", and the bride's family has become "parents" and "in-law's family" has become "home". A new family has gained social status. The groom is respected by the mother-in-law's family. The "son-in-law" has a very high "status". Enjoy "politeness" and "preferential treatment" in the mother-in-law's family.
When going back, it is important to "go early and go back early". Go as soon as dawn and rush back before dark. This is called "go nine to nine, wealth and prosperity last for a long time." The most taboo is to "go ten to ten, there is no food in the groove".
After returning home, the bride had to confine herself to her husband's house for 3927 days. In fact, it was equivalent to not being able to go out for a month, let alone visiting neighbors. It was said that it was "harsh" and that anyone would go to the house, who would be in trouble. As for the authenticity, it was impossible to verify. However, people have been passing on words from ancient times to the present, sticking to the rules. After a month, they could freely communicate with neighbors and become real "members of the village".
The relatives and friends who helped, and the neighbors were more. The chef in charge had already shouted that the dishes had been prepared, and after a call, they were fried "small stir-fry". The women in the cooking field also shouted that the rice had been cooked. Other helpers also started to lift the table and set up benches...
The bride Xiao Yingying in the room was still crying. The tears had already washed away her bride's makeup. Uncle Cao "invited" everyone else, leaving only herself to accompany Xiao Yingying.
"Yingying, mom knows you are very wronged, but mom is also doing your own good." It's okay for uncle Cao to stop talking. After she said that, Xiao Yingying cried even harder.
"Mom. I don't want to marry Chen Gang, I have someone in my heart."
Aunt Cao sat down beside the bed, holding Xiao Yingying's hand with one hand, and gently stroked Xiao Yingying's back with the other. "Yingying. Mom knows you have someone, but where is that person? She patted her butt and left. But your belly is getting bigger day by day. What should I do if I don't marry someone!"
As he said that, Aunt Cao also started crying. "It's all my fault for being confused. If I had stopped you from interacting with that person, I wouldn't have come to this day. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Xiao Yingying: "Mom, I don't want to marry. Just let me go out to work. I will give birth to him in a place where no one is. I will give birth to him and I will raise him. I don't blame him. He also has his own difficulties. Just think that I owe him in my previous life. Woo woo woo woo..."
"Silly child. You don't know the suffering of this world! This person is hard to wear."
"Mom, mom. If you really feel sorry for your daughter, you should quit this marriage. OK? Please. I will kowtow to you." After that, Xiao Yingying knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Uncle Cao, and also kowtowed her bride's hair.
"Silly kid. Look at the outside, all the relatives, friends, and neighbors are here. There are people on the table! You said you don't marry, so you don't marry. Is it okay? Do you still let your father live with me? Where can we put our old faces?"
"Dongdongdongdong...Dongdongdongdong", an urgent knock sounded outside the door.
Uncle Cao quickly wiped away the tears on his face and asked, "Who is it?"
Grandma Wang: "Sister Cao, it's me."
Uncle Cao: "Oh. Sister Wang. What's the matter?"
Grandma Wang: "I was urging me to invite the guest teacher, saying that the time is coming soon."
Uncle Cao: "Oh, okay, okay. We'll come out soon."
Grandma Wang: "Okay, I'll go to the main hall to wait for you. Don't delay the time for a lifetime."
Grandma Wang walked away. Uncle Cao hugged Xiao Yingying and cried for a while.
"Good daughter. Mom can't bear to leave you, but you always have to find a family member. Let's marry you obediently today. In the future, you will live with others well. You owe them first. In the future, you must be more kind to others and be obedient."
After saying that, I found a wooden comb and recombed Xiao Yingying's hair. However, it might be because I used hair spray when I was doing the bride's hairstyle. After this, I couldn't comb well. Time was tight, so I could only leave the boudoir.
Although it was pear blossoms and rain, Xiao Yingying still amazed all the guests, the wedding party, and even more shocked Chen Gang. The boy looked at Xiao Yingying without knowing how to speak. He was like a person who was possessed by evil spirits, and he was standing there with saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The guest teacher had already lit the incense candle and put it on the incense table. When he looked back at Chen Gang's appearance, he quickly pulled him. He quickly called the bride and groom to kneel down to the ancestors of the Xiao family, and to Xiao's father and mother...
Suddenly, Xiao Yingying stood up and ran out the door. She fainted before she could run two steps. Seeing this, everyone was panicked for a moment.
Only Grandma Wang squatted down and hugged Xiao Yingying's head in her arms with one hand and pinched her with the other. Finally, Xiao Yingying took a breath and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, the guest teacher quickly winked and the wedding team immediately lit firecrackers.
With the crackling sound of firecrackers, two women in the bride-sending team held Xiao Yingying's hand and put it on their shoulders, half-held and half-held, and sent Xiao Yingying to the wedding car prepared at home.
In this way, the wedding team and the bride-seeking team gradually left the Xiao family amid the crackling sound of firecrackers. Only the relatives, friends and neighbors of the Xiao family continued to have a banquet.
