Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982 Chapter 148

  Chapter 148 Ah Zheng Married

  The second day, the 28th day of the lunar calendar, is Ah Zheng's wedding day, and Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning to go to his house.

There are people bustling at his door, his mother is wearing a red flower on her hair, and there she happily mixes wedding candies, melon seeds, and peanuts in a big bag, and will divide them among the neighbors later. There are also children who come to ask for sweets.

   After looking around, I found Ah Zheng's man. He was unpacking cigarettes. As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately handed over a pack of cigarettes.

  Ye Yaodong took it cheerfully, "How does it feel to be the groom's official?"

"I don't know what other feelings I have. Anyway, the red envelopes are very enjoyable. It's good to have more sisters, hahaha~" He smiled and patted the two tunic pockets on his chest, which were full of red envelopes, bulging .

   "Indeed, why don't I have an older sister? It's a pity that my two younger sisters haven't married yet." A Guang looked at him from the sidelines and was a little greedy.

   The red envelope on Ah Zheng's chest is called a pocket red envelope. If there are sisters in the family and they are married, in addition to the normal wedding wine red envelope, they also need to pack this pocket red envelope, and the amount of this red envelope will not be small.

   "When will the sedan chair and horse be delivered?"

  Their wedding custom here is to walk if they are close, and ride a horse in a sedan chair if it is farther away. In recent years, many young people have chosen to use a tractor to welcome their relatives, but the woman's family still chooses to take a sedan chair.

   "Is it coming soon? It's okay, it's still early, you go in and eat two poached eggs."

   "All right, all right ~ let's eat poached eggs first."

  For their relatives and friends who came to help, the host will cook a pair of poached eggs in sugar water, with dried longan inside, which is very sweet.

  The dining table in the room was full of people, and they would stand outside with a bowl each, chatting by the way.

   It was almost seven o'clock before the sedan chair and horses were delivered.

   Ah Zheng's mother came up beaming and gave a red envelope to the master who led the horse and the four porters, and then gave a red envelope to each of them. This is a red envelope to help welcome the relatives.

   On the day of the wedding, a lot of red envelopes are given out, even the cook, kitchen helper, and Xi Niang, as long as they are helping people, they have to give red envelopes.

  Ah Zheng's house had already arranged everything in place yesterday, now it's just a matter of waiting for the time to pick up the bride.

  Ye Yaodong and the others carried a red bag of firecrackers, and waited for the time to start setting them off, and then the wedding procession set off.

  The bride's family lives in the nearby Ganxi Village, just a little past Dongqiao Village, not far away.

  Xi Niang walks next to the sedan chair, and the gongs and drums to welcome the relatives are beating as they walk. They set off firecrackers along the way, and when encountering relatives blocked on the road, each of them grabs a handful of melon seeds and wedding candies, and everyone just lets it go.

  But sometimes you will encounter things that are unclear.

   At this time, as soon as the team reached the entrance of the village, they encountered two gangsters who were not stingy and blocked the road. They refused to leave, insisted on cigarettes, and refused to leave without giving them.

  Ye Yaodong was the one who led the way to set off firecrackers today, and when he saw Xu Laifu again, he was already scolding his mother in his heart, but he still had to smile.

   "Brother, eat a handful of candies and sweet mouths, and the folks in the village will be happy. We still have to catch up in a hurry, so let's save face and give way?"

   "I will give you face, who will give me face? If you are in a hurry, give us cigarettes. If you take the cigarettes, we will get out of the way."

   "That is, give each person a pack of cigarettes, and we will get out of the way."

  What is more face-saving than a thing? Ye Yaodong slashed him several times with the knife.

  Xiao Xiao on the side said softly: "Give it, one pack of Friendship Cigarettes per person, just treat it as a beggar, don't waste the time."

   "The cigarettes are kept by the fat man."

   The fat man also stared at these two guys. They were the only ones who had a lot of things to do. He took out two packs of friendship cigarettes, and each of them threw a pack over, "Okay, get out of the way!"

Xu Laifu weighed the cigarettes in his hand, and wanted to leave happily, but was stopped by his friend, "Wait, you want to send us a pack of friendship cigarettes that cost four or five cents? No way, take a pack of cigarettes." Bao Chengfeng came, we will leave after we give Chengfeng."

  Xu Laifu's eyes lit up suddenly, "Yes, what you said is right, you have to ride the wind, give the wind...I...I...we're leaving..."

  Looking at their cannibalistic eyes on the other side, his words became softer and softer, more cowardly...

   "It's almost enough, don't leave it here to get in the way, otherwise..."

   "Otherwise, otherwise, don't go there, and don't get married if you can't afford it."

   Ye Yaodong hadn't finished speaking yet, the fox friend next to Xu Laifu took up the conversation nonchalantly, shaking his feet.

  Those who are on the grass, even on the day of rejoicing, can't swear at others.

   Ah Zheng sat on the horse and climbed down depressed, and went straight up and said: "It's almost enough, I'm getting married today, dare to come and make trouble for me, when I'm married, I want you to look good!"

   "We don't want to cause trouble for you either. Give us the cigarettes and leave naturally."

   "Isn't it already given?"

   "The grade of Friendship Cigarettes is so low, only four or five cents a pack, how can you afford it?"

  Grass mud horse... Looking at the look that deserves a beating, the brothers are a little itchy.

  Xu Laifu looked at their unfriendly eyes, and pulled his friend's sleeve a little cowardly, "Ah Qiang, let's forget it?"

   "What are you afraid of? On this day of great joy, they can still beat us? Settlement after autumn? It's just a pack of cigarettes, what about it?"

   "What you say is true. If each person is given a bag of Chengfeng, you will get out of the way."

   "Of course, of course."

   Ah Zheng impatiently found two packs of Chengfeng and threw them over. After the two of them took the cigarettes, they ran away happily.

  Xiao Xiao stared at their backs, "My hands are so itchy, I really want to grab them and beat them up!"

   Ah Guang also responded: "Me too, last time I hit it lightly."

  Ye Yaodong was also depressed, "I'll take you to hunt ghosts tonight!"

   "What the hell?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.

   "I'll talk about it later, let's go first, don't waste time."

   Ah Zheng climbed on the horse again, Ah Guang went to the middle of the team to set off firecrackers, Xiao Xiao went to the back of the team to set off firecrackers, and the team moved forward as usual. Fatty came over curiously and asked, "What did you just say to catch ghosts?"

   "During this period, I was stolen several times, and others were also stolen. I kind of guessed who stole the net. I plan to catch it at night. Do you want to go with me?"

   "Who? Go after drinking? Are you going to blow the cold wind outside the pier?"

   "It must be after drinking a long table of wine and going out to see if you can run into it. There is no absolute certainty about this."

   "Okay, follow me out and have a look."

Next, the wedding went smoothly, only when the bride was picked up, the bridesmaids blocked the door, made things a little difficult, everyone did a few push-ups, gave a red envelope to open the door, and then went in, and then went to find embroidered shoes Half a day's work.

  The entire process is familiar to everyone, even those who have never been married have seen it many times.

   After finally getting the bride into the sedan chair, everyone hurried back.

   On the road, I also encountered a few bums blocking the team, but compared to Xu Laifu and the other two, they were easy to pass away. One of them was given a handful of wedding candy and a pack of friendship cigarettes, and they left in a good manner.

  The local wedding wine is eaten at noon. As soon as the bride receives it, she has to do obeisance first, and the banquet starts immediately after the obeisance.

  At noon is the main meal. After the main meal is finished and all the guests have left, the long table of wine will be served at night. The long table of wine is for friends of the bride and groom to drink.

   During the period, the bride will light cigarettes for the groom's friends. As for how to make things difficult, it depends on whether the groomsmen have a conscience...

  Ye Yaodong was not interested in this, so he sat back and watched them shaking cigarettes for the bride to light, but they refused to let the bride light it, so happy to watch...

   But when it was his turn, he was very cooperative and asked the bride to light a cigarette, without making things difficult, and directly let her pass.

  Other friends yelled when they saw it: "Dongzi, why are you doing this? Let it go so easily, it seems that we are very bad. It's okay for the bride to scold us, and the bridesmaid must scold us in her heart."

   "Only in this way can I remember you and impress you! Aren't you still single?"

   "It seems to make sense."

   "Grass... Dongzi is obviously sympathetic!"

  Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Those who haven't studied for two days should also learn idioms. Don't talk nonsense. This is Ah Zheng's new wife, and I also have a family."

   "Then no wonder you are so fast, the iron rod is ground into a needle."

   "Hahahaha~"

  Everyone roared with laughter, Ye Yaodong kicked his friend who was talking angrily, "Go away."

   "Oh ~ so much energy!"

   "Let you talk nonsense."

   "Oh, don't talk about this, it's almost over, the rest of the people should speed up, there will be troubles in the bridal chamber later."

   "Then learn from Dongzi, and hurry up when it's time to be fast!"

  In their local bridal chamber, it is the bride and groom, not the bridesmaids, and everyone is very conservative at this time, and their bridal chamber is not too much.

  In the first round, they directly served a glass of wine.

   "Come, come, let's have a glass of wine first."

   "This drinking wine is red in color and sweet in taste. It feels good to drink it!"

  Everyone booed and laughed there.

  The bride was holding the wine glass, a little shy and at a loss, but Ah Zheng was thick-skinned, so she took her hand and drank it straight away, which made her friends not happy.

   "Ah... You have to drink the wine at the same time, why don't you drink it first? Come again, come again, come again! You must drink together!"

   "Yes, we must drink together."

   Now, the bride had no choice but to bite the bullet and drank the wine with a flushed face.

   "Okay~" Everyone in the room booed again.

   "It's the second round."

   Ah Guang took a needle and thread through a little bit of meat on the top of the jujube, and then hung the thread in mid-air.

   "Haha, I've eaten red dates, I wish you an early baby!"

   Now the bride was even more embarrassed, looking at the red dates between the two of them, she didn't dare to move.

   Friends are all there to make them hurry up...

Ah Zheng cheekily opened his mouth to bite, but Ah Guang was very hurt. When he was about to touch the red date, he lifted the thread up again, which made him laugh and scold, "You wait for me, wait until you get married, See if I don't kill you."

   "Hey, you have a baby early, please eat this red date first."

   "Yes, yes, who didn't come here like this? Ah Zheng, can you do it? You can't eat for a long time."

   "Of course."

Ah Zheng was so tormented that he almost vomited blood. In the end, his relatives and friends saw the opportunity and stabbed Ah Guang. He didn't know, so he turned his head, and then Ah Zheng quickly bit the red date and brought it to the bride. The bride was blushing. The face also took a bite.

   "Ah, who stabbed me?"

   As soon as Ah Zheng bit the red dates, he sat up immediately, trying to throw everyone out, "Okay, okay, it's over, it's over..."

   "Wait a minute... only two rounds, and a third round..."

  The relatives and friends watching the fun also helped him drive away, "It's almost, it's almost, the bride is shy..."

   "Everyone is from three rounds... Ah Zheng, you can't be special..."

   Everyone was being pushed out while talking, Ah Zheng hurriedly closed the door behind and tied it, and he was relieved.

  A bunch of people were still talking at the door, lingering and refusing to leave.

  Ye Yaodong saw that it was almost over, so he patted Xiaoxiao and Ah Guang on the shoulders of the fat man, signaling them to go out and talk.

   Except for Fatty, the two of them don't know yet.

  As soon as he went out, he mentioned to them what happened to Ah Wei's brother-in-law last night, and Ah Guang responded quickly and said, "He must have stolen the net!"

  Xiao Xiao also echoed, "Yes, in the middle of the night, sneaking around, if you go to the beach to catch the sea, why would you return halfway?"

   Ah Guang asked suspiciously again: "What are those people in Lin Ji going to do in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, just leave him alone. It's only before 8 o'clock. Let's go to Xu Laifu's house together? Let the fat man call the door to see if he's at home? Let's forget it if he's not at home. I went. I didn't go yesterday, so I think he will go again tonight.”

   Regardless of what they were doing in Linjishang, since there was no news in the village, he pretended that he didn't know anything. Anyway, he heard it from hearsay in his previous life.

Xiaoxiao said with itchy hands: "Go, I saw that guy in the morning, and I really wanted to beat him up, but I was worried that I would not get the chance. It is best not to be at home, we go to the pier and wait, or sail to the sea to catch the stolen goods. If you catch it, you will beat it openly."

  Ah Guang shrugged, "Okay, I have no objection, it's fine anyway."

  Although it's not his business, the friends' business is naturally his business.

   "Then go and have a look first."

  After the four agreed, they went straight out, regardless of the people at the door of the new house who were still booing, they were all kicked out, and there must be no chance to enter the house again.
