- The wedding day was just around the corner, and it was already September 29th. Liu hurriedly went to the streets to buy supplies for the wedding banquet.
Although he didn¡¯t know much about it, Lao Guo had been hosting banquets for so many years, so he knew all about it, so he quickly wrote a list for him.
Pork and beef are the big ones, which cost the most money. I buy the beef directly from Lao Guo, and he pats his chest and promises to get the best cooked beef. The ham had been ordered a few days ago. Fortunately, he had handed over everything early, otherwise he would have had to break his leg if things got worse.
The rest is to buy sugar, tobacco, wine and some seasonal vegetables. As for chickens and fish, I have them at home, so there is no need to buy these.
He and Zhang Qian worked hard all morning to get everything ready, and finally took two Numbos and rushed back to Liujiagou.
On the morning of the 30th, things started to get busy again. Lao Guo brought over his set of pots and pans early.
Everyone scrambled to set up an earthen stove in the yard, and then set up a large pot to steam hot dishes later. To be honest, people who see a cauldron for the first time find it a bit scary.
According to the rules of Liujiagou, basically every family has to help out when there are weddings and funerals in the village. Therefore, not long after breakfast, representatives from many families came. Those who washed vegetables and those who washed dishes made the yard lively.
The naughty kids in the village also came over after school to join in the fun, but these guys only focused on the candy melon seeds Liu Junhao put in the yard, and each one filled their pockets.
It¡¯s just for fun, but it¡¯s not good if the courtyard is deserted, so Liu Junhao welcomes their arrival. But after all, these children still took Zhang Qian into consideration and didn't dare to go out of her way.
Guo has been busy since he entered the yard. Carve pork, croquettes, fried dough sticks and more. After all, the women in the village are good at cooking. Several people helped him. That's pretty busy.
Banquets held in rural areas of Dashan are usually three-eight, eight-eight or four-bowl banquets. The so-called thirty-eight games. There are eight cold dishes, eight bowls and eight soups each. 884 is to reduce soup or cold dishes. As for eight bowls and four, it is the thinnest banquet. Eight hot dishes. Cold dishes. This is a banquet in the 1980s. I haven¡¯t heard of that family serving eight bowls of four to guests.
Liu Junhao¡¯s wedding venue has sufficient budget. The banquet will naturally be divided into three or eight.
Please help the construction site after lunch at noon. The afternoon continued to be busy until the evening. The banquet was just finished.
Zhang Qian¡¯s family arrived in the afternoon. As soon as their mother and aunt Zhang Qian arrived, they rolled up their sleeves and asked to help. But he was pulled into the house by Aunt Six to drink tea.
In the evening, four tables of banquets were set up at home. Mainly to entertain Zhang Qian¡¯s family and help at the construction site.
After all the guests were arranged, Liu Junhao went back to his room and lay down. Getting married is really laborious work. Although he is very strong, he is so tired that his back aches at the end of the day.
Tomorrow night, he would have to spend time with his wife and children on the hot bed. He was really excited and couldn't sleep. But in order to have a good spirit tomorrow, Liu Junhao forced himself not to think randomly.
I slept until about six o'clock in the hazy dawn, when the horn sounded at the door of my house.
He quickly got up and opened the door to let the driver in for a drink of water. The two wedding cars were rented from the town. There were two bright red Double Happiness characters on the glass at the front and back of the car, and there were many bright ribbons tied on the car.
"Brother Liu, I really admire you for not panicking at this point. It will be time for breakfast in a while." Zhao Guangming joked with a smile.
"Haha, we are close here, so we don't have to get up so early." Liu Junhao invited them to have tea before getting back into the car.
In the past, transportation in rural areas was underdeveloped. When getting married, we had to leave at one or two in the middle of the night. By the time we got back, it was already time for a banquet at noon.
Liu Junhao was wearing a suit and tie today, and his leather shoes were shiny. Not to mention that he looks even more energetic and handsome in this suit of clothes.
When everyone arrived, everyone got in the car and set off towards the river embankment. Don't look at it, the distance between Liu Junhao's house and Sixth Aunt Zi's house is only 200 meters. But that¡¯s not how you actually walk. Instead, you have to walk a long way.
The rule in Daqingshan is to make three turns, then three turns. That is to say, on the way back and forth from the wedding ceremony, you have to make at least three turns on the road to take the bride home, and at every intersection, a firecracker must be set off to clear the way.
When we arrived at Aunt Six¡¯s house, brothers Xiao Zeyu and Jianhui were already standing at the door guarding the door. Liu Junhao obediently took out the red envelope before they let him go, and then he kept calling his uncle.
As soon as she entered the room, Zhang Qian's parents and sister-in-law were all gathered around, and Zhang Qian was sitting on a chair in the middle with a smile on her face. She had a daughter-in-law's hair on her head and was very proud in a bright Tang suit.
There are also rules for the bride¡¯s hairstyle. Before the wedding, the sister-in-law is required to comb her sister¡¯s hair. Generally,The hair is combed into a bun, which is called daughter-in-law's hair, which means that the younger sister is about to become someone else's daughter-in-law. Another method is to wear long braids, and then the sister-in-law or elders of the mother-in-law's family will comb it into the daughter-in-law's hair after arriving at the mother-in-law's family. When combing your hair, you have to sing "Seven in the front, eight in the back, and the in-laws and the mother-in-law's hair are all together. The mother-in-law's hair is two and a half, and the mother's hair is two and eight, and when we walk halfway,
"Marry"
After having breakfast at Aunt Six¡¯s house, Liu Junhao carried Zhang Qian into the car again. This is also an old rule. The bride cannot go to the ground before entering the house.
Zeyu and Jianhui naturally followed them to the car. They were called escorts, and they would roll out of bed after entering the house.
As soon as we arrived at Liu Junhao¡¯s house, the crackling firecrackers started ringing. After entering the house, people worship heaven and earth in high halls and worship each other. Nowadays, rural areas don't pay much attention to this old custom. It's just a formality, as long as it's lively.
As soon as he finished praying to heaven and earth, Maozi shouted loudly: "Uncle Hao, you and Teacher Zhang go into the bridal chamber quickly, I'm waiting to bring you the water to wash your face." A group of adults laughed after hearing this, and his mother blushed and said this Pull out the troublemaker.
There is a red bottle of wash water, so these naughty children are all active.
Sometimes there are even seven or eight people carrying washbasins heading into the bedroom, and then everyone has to give red envelopes to the bride.
By the time these ceremonies were completed, it was almost past ten o'clock, and relatives rushed to Liujiagou one after another. Today is the 11th, and there is a play in the afternoon. Not only Liu Junhao's house is lively, but the entire Liujiagou is also very lively. Regular customers who originally visited Liujiagou came to congratulate Liu Junhao when they heard that Liu Junhao was getting married today.
Liu Junhao has enough melon seeds and candies here, and he can take whatever watermelons and jujubes he wants. It wasn't time to start the meal yet, so everyone sat at the table, eating melon seeds and chatting. Of course, there is a dedicated person greeting each table, whose purpose is to accompany the bride and her family.
By half past eleven, almost everyone was here. Liu Guang gathered together and started to sing the ceremony. Before singing the ceremony, a long firecracker was set off.
~ It is to hand red envelopes to the bride and groom. The custom in Liujiagou is that every household must come forward to give gifts. And it is not like holding up the money with red paper like in the city. You just hand over the money directly and let the person in charge count it.
In the past year or so, people in Liujiagou have really become rich, and they are generous when giving gifts. There are no bills under fifty, and the bright red RMB quickly becomes thicker.
What Liu Junhao didn¡¯t expect was that many of the regular guests who came to visit Liujiagou also followed the crowd and paid tribute. Fortunately, there was still some leftovers from the banquet prepared at the beginning, otherwise it would have been a big loss.
As a firecracker went off again, the guests took their seats one after another, while the helpers came and went with trays.
Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao were sitting at Zhang Qian¡¯s family¡¯s banquet to accompany their guests. Before the banquet started, Professor Zhao and Zhang¡¯s father naturally wanted to speak. Professor Zhao said something like thanking Zhang Qian¡¯s parents for marrying their daughter. And Father Zhang simply said: "Xiaohao, Xiaoqian will be left to you. You must treat her well in the future."
"Dad, don't worry." Liu Junhao also nodded heavily in agreement.
Eight cold dishes were served at the beginning of the banquet. Everyone was full of praise after eating. Some said that Lao Guo's cooking is getting better and better, and some said that it was mainly because of the good seasoning. In short, no one was dissatisfied after eating this banquet. .
Halfway through the banquet, Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian carried wine bottles to the banquet one by one to propose a toast. Although Liu Junhao had a good drinking capacity, he couldn't stand the crowd. After half a circle, he was already a little dizzy.
"Uncle Xiao Hao, wine!" At this time, the stupid kid came on stage, and he winked directly at Liu Junhao with the wine bottle.
This child¡¯s pain is not in vain. He remembers what he said last night quite clearly.
Last night, Liu Junhao used carrots and sticks to coerce and induce, and this naughty kid finally nodded and agreed to help him cheat at the wine table.
As soon as he made a gesture, he immediately handed over the bottle. Liu Junhao drank another glass of wine, and it turned out to be cold water. This naughty boy remembered clearly and did not fill the wine bottle with water, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
¡° As soon as we arrived at Zhao Guangming¡¯s table, this guy stood up with a wine glass in hand and insisted on having three drinks with him. Seeing Liu Junhao drinking so neatly, he put his nose to the wine glass in disbelief and smelled it. He didn't feel relieved until he smelled the smell of wine.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Pang Xu didn't compliment him very much, he just gave him a toast in a meaningful way.
Although the last bottle of wine was mixed with a lot of water, his face was still red after one lap. Fortunately, my mind is clear and my hands and feet are still agile.
In the afternoon, people were all thinking about going to the village to watch a show, so after they had eaten, they left one after another. The last ones left were some helpers and Zhang Qian¡¯s family.
After sending all the guests away, Liu Junhao relaxed and sat in the yard to take a breath.
Zhang Qian looked at him as ifHe looked drunk and hurriedly ran to him to help him into the house to rest.
"It's okay, I'm not drunk, I'm just a little drunk." Liu Junhao smiled and waved his hand and asked, "Are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Liu Junhao was the one who toasted the bride during the banquet, and Zhang Qian didn't drink at all.
After the lively scene, there was a warm calm. When they closed their cage doors at night, they were the only two people left in the room.
The three great joys in life: meeting an old friend in a foreign country, being named on the gold medal list, and the wedding night.
The night is extremely sultry Tonight is the great event of their lives! !
