Chapter 490 Pick up the bride
The bride here is waiting shyly in the room. The aunt, aunt, sister-in-law, and sisters next to her are sorting out her clothes for a while, and showing her whether her makeup is on or not.
"Xiao Qing, you have really found a good partner. You can go there and enjoy yourself from now on."
"This Nizi coat your partner bought is really beautiful. The style and fabric are really good."
"Isn't it? There are also these flower-scented soaps, creams, and hairpins on your hair. Oh my god, you can't even buy these in the county."
Many sisters who are not married are extremely envious, thinking how great it would be to find such a good partner.
At this time, I saw Zhao Qing's cousin bringing face wash to Zhao Qing to wash her face. After washing her face symbolically, Zhao Qing's cousin here brought the face wash to the door again. Under the guidance of Grandma Xi,
After breaking out, there is still a certain amount of care in which direction the water should be poured.
As the saying goes, "a married girl throws away water", maybe this is how it came about.
"Open the door, I've given you all the 'wedding money' and 'wedding candies', so you can open the door." The person picking up the bride shouted loudly.
The woman looked at the "wedding money" and "wedding candies" in her hand, which were quite a lot. The main reason was that these were good things. A white rabbit toffee was quite expensive, so she opened the door happily.
"What are you doing standing still? Come in quickly? You're a piece of shit, why are you so nervous?" Liu Chen pushed Liu Jiangang and said with a smile.
Liu Jiangang lowered his head and pushed the door open sheepishly.
The matchmaker and Xi Niang quickly followed in.
When people in the room saw Liu Jiangang and the others, they were shocked at first. Even Zhao Qing stared at Liu Jiangang. Although Liu Jiangang's new daughter-in-law, Zhao Qing, had seen it in advance, her partner still felt so handsome after wearing it today.
.
Zhao Qing looked at Liu Jiangang shyly and said with a smile: "You look really good today."
"You are so beautiful too."
"Oh oh oh..."
The people present made a fuss.
The matchmaker looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. He asked Liu Jiangang to kneel down on one knee and put on new shoes for the bride.
In this day and age, it’s pretty good for a man to bring out worn-out shoes with the edges dyed red, but Liu Jiangang actually brought out a pair of red leather shoes.
"Oh my god, these are leather shoes. They are so beautiful. What's that shiny thing on them?"
"That one looks like a gem. It's so pretty."
The girls and wives present all stared at the new leather shoes Liu Jiangang took out.
In fact, these shoes are the kind of red leather shoes from later generations, with some rhinestones on them. There is nothing special about them.
"Here, put on your shoes."
Liu Jiangang smiled and put on Zhao Qing's shoes and asked Zhao Qing to stand up. Not to mention, the shoes were quite suitable and looked good.
"Oh my God, these shoes are so pretty, aren't they?"
"Yes, it would be great if I could have a pair of shoes like this when I get married."
The unmarried eldest daughter and the younger daughter-in-law even murmured in a low voice.
Zhao Qing had a happy smile on her face, and she was extremely happy in her heart. She looked at Liu Jiangang with a smile and said, "It looks good, I like it very much."
Liu Jiangang couldn't help but feel so happy after hearing his wife's words. He couldn't help but look at Liu Chen, his eyes full of gratitude.
"The auspicious time has come, please get on the sedan chair."
After the matchmaker finished speaking, she saw firecrackers going off at Zhao Qing's house.
Zhao Qing's mother had already cried so much that she was still crying while cutting a small piece of pork, which is called "liang's meat". Zhao Qing's father, Zhao Kuiwu, wiped his tears behind his back.
Zhao Qing was already in tears.
I saw that Liu Jiangang turned around, ran to Zhao Qing's parents' face paint, knelt down with a plop, raised his head, and said firmly: "Mom and dad, don't worry, I will definitely go to Xiao Qing. Okay, please
Don’t worry.”
Zhao Qing's parents quickly pulled their son-in-law up, nodded and said, "Okay, we believe you."
Everyone present praised Liu Jiangang, saying that this son-in-law is great, he is really good at getting things done, and his tutor is really good. Some people also said that Zhao Qing would be blessed if he married him.
This was all taught to Liu Jiangang by Liu Chen when he came here. Not to mention, it really gave Liu Jiangang extra points.
Liu Jiangang didn't dare to tell the truth. Zhao Qing has three brothers and two sisters. Facing three brothers-in-law, Liu Jiangang would still be more honest. Is it okay if he doesn't behave better?
Here, Zhao Qing's parents arranged a few words for their daughter, which were nothing more than words about how diligent her mother-in-law should be, how filial to her parents-in-law, virtuous and virtuous, and how to be a good daughter-in-law and a good wife.
The auspicious time has come, no matter how reluctant you are to leave home, you still have to leave home. As the saying goes, "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married. She can't help it."
I saw Zhao Qing's eldest brother walking outside with Zhao Qing on his back, and the other two brothers followed behind.
In this era, the bride has to have her elder brother or younger brother support her when getting married. This is called "backer", which means that the woman will have the support of her brothers and will not be bullied by her mother-in-law.
At this time, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground when she walks out. It is unlucky if her feet touch the ground.
Zhao Qing's brother here carried Zhao Qing on his back to the motorcycle. Liu Jiangang took out a big ticket and gave it to Zhao Qing. This was the money to get on the sedan.
Many people saw that it was really a big unity picture, and they all stared at it. The "money for getting on the sedan chair" was too much. It was actually ten yuan, which was really a lot.
There will be "getting off the sedan chair" later, which is also ten yuan.
In this era, it is a big deal that the "money for boarding the sedan chair" and the "money for getting off the sedan chair" can be as little as one or two yuan. For a well-off family, just three to five yuan is a lot. Zhao Qing's partner actually gave him ten yuan.
Money, my God, this is twenty yuan, this is really a lot of money.
Zhao Qing's parents who were standing by saw it, and they were very happy. They were also a little puzzled. Didn't we agree that it was five yuan before? The total cost was only ten yuan. How come it was ten yuan for one step?
If you have enough money, then it will cost you another ten yuan at a time. Oh my God, this is too much, right?
They were naturally happy that their son-in-law gave them so much money. After all, this money was for the young couple to live. They had money in their hands, so their lives would not be too tight.
Everyone present was envious. This must be too arrogant. This is the girl in Xiaoli Village who has the most "money to get on the sedan chair" and "money to get off the sedan chair" in marriage.
This price is only 20 yuan, and many people don't earn that much a year. How can we not be envious?
The woman's relatives and friends here are carrying the woman's dowry onto the tractor one after another. Not to mention, Zhao Qing's dowry is quite large for ordinary people.
After the dowry was filled, all the people giving weddings got on the tractor.
They don't have to walk any more, which makes them so happy.
They smiled happily and said, "This tractor is great. We don't have to walk such a long way. This is the first time."
"This tractor is better. It can really load things."
So much dowry and so many old people can be loaded on a tractor. This is the only one.
This tractor-trailer has a relatively large bucket. At first, there were no wedding arrangements, and people here were clamoring to go. They all wanted to ride on the tractor and experience it.
At first, Zhao Kuiwu was a little embarrassed. After all, this person went a lot, and the man had to arrange meals. If the meal arrangements were not enough, it would be bad.
At this time, Liu Jiangang looked at Zhao Kuiwu with a smile and said, "Dad, it would be great to see more people. There are so many people."
After hearing Liu Jiangang's words, they got on the tractor without any scruples.
The firecrackers sounded again, the trumpet and the suona sounded again, and everyone started to set off.
Now Liu Jiangang was riding a motorcycle carrying the bride, Zhang Xiaodong sat on the side of Liu Chen's tractor, and the others were still riding bicycles.
Along the way, there was another lively scene of people watching. The members of the club were much more excited than when they came here. The people on the tractor seeing off their relatives were also addicted to the tractor.
Liu Jiangang started learning to ride a motorcycle from Liu Chen some time ago. Although he did not ride very fast and the mountain road was not easy to walk after all, he still rode decently and was relatively stable.
Zhao Qing hugged Liu Jiangang tightly, not to mention how happy she was.
Liu Jiangang was so beautiful in his heart that when he was riding so fast, he actually sang "Little sister is sending her lover..."
When this person was singing excitedly, Zhao Qing also started singing along.
Liu Chen heard it from behind, and many people on the tractors who were sending relatives shook their heads and said with a smile: "When girls get married, they cry all the way. This Xiaoqing is actually singing."
Zhao Qing doesn't care about that much. She is very happy now. How can she cry? She has found such a good partner. In the future, she will be popular and drink hot food. A beautiful life is waving to her. What is there to cry about?
After a while, we arrived at the entrance of Liutang Village.
The children saw it and shouted, "Here comes the bride, here comes the bride."
The people here to welcome the bride are also coming here.
Firecrackers went off. This was a big firecracker with 10,000 rings that Liu Chen got.
"Crackling" kept ringing.
Soon, the motorcycle arrived at the door of Liu Jiangang's house.
Everyone gathered around. Liu Jiangang parked the car, picked up the bride, and carried her directly to his yard.
The firecrackers are still crackling here, and the people here to pick up the bride are also coming over.
The first part of the dowry is the descendant bucket, which is taken by the bride's eldest brother. This is an indispensable item in this era. The next step is the "Ruyi bowl and chopsticks". The bowl is filled with rice, longan, red dates, and peanuts, which means happiness and contentment.
At this time, the elders give sincere blessings to the newlyweds, as well as a pair of bamboo poles tied with red silk, which means that the newlyweds are moving towards a new life and will be promoted steadily in the days to come.
There were also other dowries, all of which were carried to the new house one after another.
As the matchmaker said, "The auspicious time has come, let's start worshiping."
Here, the newlyweds are being helped to start worshiping.
The "worship hall" here is for parents, heaven and earth, and the two immortals of harmony.
