Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

In fact, Zhang Xingming was originally going to make a video. Although few people take pictures these days, getting a video camera is not a big deal for him. The TV station can just borrow it. I took a photo, anyway, it's just a souvenir.

The convoy returned the same way. At this time, the sky was already bright, the snow had stopped, and the sun was shining in the sky. The road felt a lot easier.

Driving in winter is the best thing, it’s not as bumpy as in summer, the road is completely covered by snow, and it’s flattened, otherwise the journey into the mountains would be quite tolerable.

At around [-]:[-], the convoy turned around a bend in the mountain, and saw a group of people gathered outside a yard from a distance. Some people were running along the snowy road, waving their hands and shouting something while running.

There are not many residents here, the houses are not built next to each other, and they are scattered. There is a large space between the houses, which is just used at the moment, and the tarpaulin tents are all set up, with red happy characters and red letters on them. Couplets, the canopy on the kitchen side is emitting white smoke, and the young guy has a white towel on his arm, running around from time to time.

Looking from a distance, there are rolling mountains all around, and the big and round mountain buns covered by heavy snow are like white steamed buns just out of the cage.

There are not many trees on the mountain, only one trunk is left, standing sparsely in the heavy snow.

Surrounded by mountains, on a piece of silver-white land, more than a dozen families of red brick and red tile houses are dotted there.

As the car approached, firecrackers rang out over there, and a large group of young people who were not alive at this time gathered around the road and watched the convoy approaching.

The leading car stopped ten meters away from the yard, and the cars behind stopped one by one. The photographer got off the last bus and ran forward like crazy.

In the yard here, Li Chunbo's parents have already come out wearing new clothes, facing the convoy.

Li Chunbo's youngest brother ran quickly to the head car with a pair of red shoes wrapped in red cloth. Li Chunbo got out of the car and took the new shoes from his brother. Li brother bowed to sister Lan and said loudly: "Hi sister-in-law."

Sister Lan agreed loudly and handed over a red envelope.

Li Di took the red envelope and was about to open it, but Li Chunbo slapped him on the head. Li Di held the red envelope and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother hit me." Sister Lan took off the shoes she had worn and said "It's okay, I'll cut him for you in the evening." Brother Li glanced at his brother and said, "Okay."

The photographer smiled and captured this scene on the sidelines.

Li Chunbo helped Sister Lan change her shoes, helped her out of the car, and the firecrackers rang out again, and confetti, candy, steel pops, and sprinkled the couple and the surroundings like money.

"Marry a new wife~" All the assistants shouted loudly, and the crowd became lively.

In the matter of changing shoes, in some places, the mother-in-law brings out new shoes and puts them on for the bride when she picks up the basin, but the basic principle is the same.

At this time, Li Chunbo's parents were about to come here, and Li Chunbo helped Sister Lan to welcome them up.

The two parties met and stopped. Sister Lan held the newcomer basin and bowed to the two elders, calling loudly: "Dad, Mom."

The two elders agreed loudly with a smile. The old lady took the newcomer pot in Sister Lan's hand, which was called accepting newcomers to enter the door. The old man handed over a thick red envelope, which was the money for change.

Then Sister Lan took out two corsages from the newcomer's basin, and helped Father Li and Mother Li put them on her chest, and the four of them walked towards the courtyard gate together.

In some places, the bride's corsage is also put on by the mother-in-law at this time, which is the same as taking over the basin, expressing welcome to the newcomer.

There is a red basin at the gate of the yard, with charcoal fire burning in it. Sister Lan wants to step over the basin, implying that the old mold will be eliminated, and the days to come will be prosperous.

Sister Lan stepped over the brazier without any bumps or hesitation, and all the spectators shouted together, and the atmosphere became extremely hot all of a sudden.

Chapter 341 Still a Wedding (1)

When Sister Lan and the others entered the gate, the people in the car started to get off. Everyone laughed and talked to each other, and walked into the yard together. The mother's family will go to the new house to check how the in-law's preparations are going. , Do you really treat your wife well?

To be honest, don’t take this seriously, because some people are dissatisfied with the new house and quarrel with the bride and go back. There are even two families who fight directly. Of course, that was in the past, and now the living conditions are getting better and better. It's a ceremony.

From entering the new house, the young boys from the natal family have another task, stealing things. From entering the new house to leaving after eating, they can steal anything. They cannot be seen by the in-laws. A man like a thief, ready to catch the thief and take the stolen goods.

Entering the house, a woman with a harmonious family and two children came out from the mother-in-law's family to make the quilt.

Bring in the things brought by the mother's family, scatter the things prepared by the mother-in-law's house in the house, and then stack them again, sprinkle steel pops and candies with chestnuts, peanuts and red dates while stacking.

The most interesting thing at this time is that people have to calculate the quilts on both sides, so that the quilt on one side should be folded to the top, which means that this side will have the final say at home in the future.

The kang also needs to be covered with new quilts, so how many beds are made, how many beds are made, and whoever makes the bed is to see who is quick-witted. The two of them had already figured out why they were making a fuss.

Half of this is the speed of folding the quilts, especially the last few beds, whether to fold quickly or slow down is also included in the calculation, but there is a saying here, the hands cannot stop, the comparison is the mind and reaction.

The two women were laughing and talking and stacking the quilt. Someone beside them sprinkled things into the quilt, and those who watched around him booed to distract the two of them.

It turns out that the woman from Sunniang’s family is very powerful. When laying the kang, she had quick hands and quick eyes. She didn’t know how to do it, so she made an extra bed of the other’s quilt. The number of quilts on both sides was the same, and it was necessary to make a pair. That's right, at the end of the stack, she got an extra bed, triumphantly pressed on the top, won the cheers of her mother's family, and took a big red envelope.

After the quilt is folded, the bride will go to the kang and sit on the newly laid quilt. From then on, she can't get off the kang, and she can't move until the wedding begins.

Sister Lan got on the kang and sat down. This is Comrade Zhang Xingbing’s job. Hang the door curtain and set the clock. Together with the little girl of Li’s family, they hung the door curtain, and then put the deliberately crooked clock right. Two big red envelopes, and then the two of them had to go to the kang and sit with Sister Lan, and they couldn't get off the kang.

After all the work in the new house was over, the callers began to make arrangements for the bride's family to come out to the table.

Those who send their relatives enter the dining area under the guidance of the in-laws' helpers, and sit according to the seniors, with one empty seat at each table, which is for the in-laws to accompany the guests.

At this time, the seniority at the table should not be messed up, because the in-law’s family also arranges the accompanying guests according to their seniority. If the younger generation sits at the elder’s table, it will be regarded as an insult to the in-law’s family and there will be a fight.

Of course, it doesn't count if you hug a nursing baby or a three- or five-year-old baby.

Everyone arranged the seats and sat down, and the accompanying guests from the in-law's family also came to serve the table. The bride made an introduction to the natal family and accompanying guests at each table, and the table was arranged here.

With a loud shout, the young men with white towels brought up the dishes from the kitchen like flowing water. Those with side dishes stood by the table, and the dishes were arranged table by table. The cold dishes first, and then the main dishes. Dishes, followed by stir-fried vegetables. Once the stir-fried vegetables are served, the accompanying guests raise their wine glasses to toast, and this is the start of eating.

After the wedding is over, when the guests from the in-law's house have a feast, they don't have to be so particular about it. They eat as soon as they come up, but the natal family can't do it. This is the rule, which means that the natal family is well-bred.

This is also the best time for a thief to strike. There are many people with miscellaneous hands, and there are too many small things like spoons and cups. No one pays attention to the one in their pockets. The thief stands not far away and stares carefully. But to be honest, I can't keep an eye on it at all, there are too many people and too many things.

It is a process that everyone is familiar with while toasting with the guests and telling the situation of the mother-in-law’s family. Of course, this is the table of the elders. What are the younger ones talking about? The wine must be fast and clean. When a glass is poured, it must be turned over to control the bottom of the glass. One drop is considered embarrassing.

At this time, there are no plastic cups or anything, they are all glass cups in twos, which are called mouth cups in the Northeast, and one cup for one mouthful.

After 10 minutes of eating, the young people are in full swing. There is a table of wine companions who pissed, and they poured down after drinking four people. The husband’s family needs to change people urgently. There are more than ten or twenty such wine companions, according to the amount of alcohol. Row one by one, put one on top of the other immediately, just do it, you can't be cowardly.

Take a round first, everyone has wine in their stomachs, and then sit down and drink slowly. At this time, the table companions on the table for young people basically change for a round. After two drinks, you have to kneel even if it is 38 degrees, not to mention that basically all of them are above 52 degrees this year.

Zhang Xingming sits at a table with Dasheng brother, second brother, and his elder brother. Although there are no elders at this table, it is also very quiet, talking, eating and drinking slowly. , assigned to this table.

The husband's family had learned about the situation of the new daughter-in-law's family beforehand. Li Chunbo went home and said that a few sister-in-laws and sister-in-laws would give hundreds of thousands of gifts. At that time, the whole Li family was stupid for more than half an hour. Open your eyes, the eldest son found such a daughter-in-law so stupidly, this is the smoke from the Li family ancestor's grave.

On the day of the wedding, Zhang Xingming and the Li family had really chosen and chosen, and picked and picked, the hostesses at this table, for fear that they would be unhappy on the big day. I am happy to meet such in-laws, but I need to be worried. There are really many more places.

Fortunately, everyone here is sympathetic and courteous, one by one is really happy, and the Li family members who were watching from the side let out a long breath.

There is also a fun thing here, when the natal family is having a banquet, the natal family should try to eat as slowly as possible to save time, while the in-laws should try to let the natal family eat as fast as possible to save time, it depends on the skills of the bartenders, To accompany the wine well, try not to procrastinate, so that the family members can finish eating quickly and get out, but it can't be obvious.

This is the question of how long the bride can sit on the new kang in the new house. It is said that the shorter the bride sits, the more diligent her hands and feet are.

Some natal families are powerful. The bride who is suppressed sits on the new kang for four or five hours. , which means that from then on, he and his mother's family are two-way people, and expresses his dedication to his in-law's family.

Chapter 342 Always a Wedding (2)

After eating and drinking for a while, Xinlang will come out to toast and light cigarettes to her natal family, and at the same time introduce these people to her family. After all, it is generally impossible to recognize all relatives before marriage.

Xinlang holds cigarettes and alcohol, and Xinlang's parents follow behind. They introduce table by table, toast, and light cigarettes. Of course, it's Xinlang's job. Thank you, say a few words about food and drink.
