"Shaoan, are you here like this?"

"Principal Xu, this is my mother-in-law Hu Sailei. We just received the certificate today."

Xu Damao: "Congratulations, congratulations, when are you planning to hold a happy event?"

Sun Shaoan: "The date is set for ten days. Principal Xu will definitely come for a wedding drink at that time."

"I will be there on time. Is there anything else you need at home? If you need my help, just talk."

"There is nothing missing at home, Principal Xu..."

Xu Damao: "It's about picking up the bride, it's absolutely no problem. I'll rush there early in the morning."

After seeing off Sun Shaoan and his wife, Xu Damao was thinking about the name Huselei. He was very familiar with it, but he couldn't think of anything.

But this does not affect him from sharing this matter with Tian Runye.

...

That afternoon, Xu Damao's two dogs were lying at the door of his office, blocking the door so tightly that no one was allowed to enter.

Tian Runye crawled on the desk without wanting to move at all, her cheeks were red and her eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.

If you ignore her disheveled appearance, she seems to have been shocked by the news of Sun Shaoan's marriage.

Xu Damao sat behind her and patted her twice.

"Sun Shaoan please go help him pick up the bride. Do you want to come along and join in the fun?"

Tian Runye: "Don't shoot me, I don't have any strength now."

"Why should I join in the fun when he gets married? If I tell you, don't go either."

Xu Damao: "Then if you didn't tell me earlier, I already promised you, so I can't break my promise and get fat."

Tian Runye: "What's the name of his aunt? How does Hou Sailei look like?"

"If you ask me, that Huselei can't even compare to one of your toes."

"He will coax me."

"What I said is true. This is the situation in my eyes."

Tian Runye: "Then you pull me, I really don't have any strength anymore."

"Ah..., I really can't do it today."

"I'm going to take inventory of the kitchen warehouse with Xiaodang, um..."

Ten days later, Xu Damao drove to Shuangshui Village early in the morning.

On the car were two brand new thermos bottles that he had just bought from the system store as his congratulatory gifts today.

When he arrived at Shuangshui Village, he was surrounded by Tian Futang and his group.

Tian Futang: "Principal Xu, Sun Shaoan really persuaded you to let you drive to help him get married."

Xu Damao: "Sun Shaoan asked me for help. I have to agree."

"Are you saying that I haven't seen your wedding here? Just come here today to have a look."

"This kid is so lucky to meet someone as easy to talk to as you."

At this time, Sun Shaoan's second father, Sun Yuting, came running over, and Tian Futang didn't say anything further.

"Principal Xu, you are warmly welcome to come over and inspect your work."

"Sun Yuting, are you busy with Hutu? It's some inspection work. Principal Xu is here to help with the wedding."

"Yes, yes, I'm used to talking. Principal Xu, please go home."

Xu Damao handed the two thermos bottles in the car to Sun Yuting and asked him to help pay the bills.

Arriving at Sun Shaoan's new home, Xu Damao found that everyone was busy.

After smoking two cigarettes with them, it was time to welcome the bride.

Since there is only one car, the number of people who can sit in it is limited, and the rest ride bicycles.

The local wedding team usually consists of seven people, among whom there is a woman (or aunt, or sister-in-law) who has both children, commonly known as the welcoming mother-in-law (the folk saying is "if the girl does not welcome, the aunt will not send off")

Sun Shaoan also brought meat, lotus roots, cigarettes, wine, and a pair of treasure bottles.

In the wedding team, there is a leader who is eloquent and understands etiquette.

Bring the bride's clothes, bedding, jewelry, steamed buns, pork, mother-in-law cake, clear oil, kuaizi, and white flour.

Everything was ready, three cannons were fired and the group set off, with drummers playing music in the prelude, welcoming the aunt in the middle, and the rest of the people and vehicles following behind.

If you encounter a temple or village, you must blow a trumpet and play music to pass by. When crossing a river, you must also blow a trombone (commonly known as "Zhanghao").

The girl’s family also prepared according to the agreement and entertained relatives and friends for dinner.

And organize a team to send off the bride, usually consisting of 8 people, including 2 women accompanying the bride, commonly known as ("giving off a bride's mother-in-law").

When the man welcomes the wedding leader, he places all the things he brings on the table and explains them to him, which is called a "show of courtesy".

The manager of the bride's family told the wedding leader about the dowry, the money in the suitcase, the money in the bag, oil, noodles, kuaizi, etc., and returned them doubled.

Everything is ready and ready to set off, and the welcoming team is led by my mother-in-law.

In the middle, the bride was protected by a well-off female elder holding a bamboo plaque or a black umbrella as she walked to the front of the car.

One is that the custom is that today the bride's head cannot see the sun, and the other means that she hopes to live a happy life like this female elder.

Before the bride gets into the car, a little boy carries a tea tray with a fan on it.

The bride picked up her fan and gave the little boy a red envelope.

After the bride gets in the car, she cannot say goodbye to her parents and family members.

At this time, the players took the lead, the sound of the suona was heard, and they were preparing to leave the village in a mighty manner.

As soon as the vehicle moved, the bride threw the fan out, which meant that she would not bring her bad temper to her husband's house.

This fan immediately caused a group of children to grab it.

If anyone grabs this fan, he can take it to the woman's house in exchange for money.

After the car had gone some distance, the woman's family started to light firecrackers.

If there is a noisy roadblock on the road, the escort team must stop moving forward.

The flute player will play one song on the spot, and the one who blocks the road will be asked to play three songs at most.

These players on the road did not play music until they entered the village.

After the family heard about it, they began to cover it with red paper and grind it, fearing that the blue dragon and white tiger would "make them happy".

When the new daughter-in-law arrived at the door of her husband's house, after the sound of firecrackers stopped, someone in charge called her.

"The Nine Palaces and Bagua are now arranged. A new man and a new horse are admitted to the hospital. One throws gold, two throws silver, and three throws wife enters the door."

At this time, the bride was helped out of the car by the leader of the woman's family, and she and the groom walked to the bridal chamber one after another, which is called the tent kiln.

Before that, the player has to go in and play a few tunes, which is commonly known as "charging the account".

Xu Damao saw all this with great vision, but it was a pity that he couldn't continue to see it later.
