Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

The Xu family kept half of it, and put the rest in a red enamel basin with the pattern of double happiness and mandarin ducks playing in water, and brought them back.

The small dowries were carried by the Xu family, and the large ones were put directly on the light truck at the back, which was later called a half-truck.

A few boys jumped onto the car and supported the box to prevent the road from being too bumpy and knocking things off.

The number of people from the Han family to welcome relatives is not too many, but there are quite a few people from the Xu family to send relatives off.

It is agreed that the two families will treat guests together, but it is not good to divide them into two groups.

The natal relatives who sent off their relatives in the front took a jeep, and the neighbors who came to catch up with the gifts came later.

If you can squeeze into the driver's building, you can squeeze in; if you can't squeeze in, you can only stand in the back of the car.

Guo Shouye and Chen Jianzhang both came by car, and several people could fit in their car, anyway, the last squeeze was almost enough.

The car in front honked its horn, and the cars in the back honked one by one to respond. When the last car reached the horn, it gave a long press to indicate that the rear had been arranged.

So the driver in front started the car and drove south, and the cars behind followed one after another.

When the girl is out of the house, her parents can't see her off.

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan stood at the gate of their house, watching the convoy slowly leave.

At this moment, Zhou Guilan couldn't bear it anymore, tears kept falling down.

"Hey, look at you, it's a good thing for a daughter to marry, why are you still crying?"

When Xu Chenghou saw his old wife like this, he felt uncomfortable.

But he is a big man, how can he shed tears?Instead of crying, Zhou Guilan had to be persuaded.

"Liwei is not bad, do you see the ostentation today? I feel that he should have made meritorious service this time, and the credit may not be small.

If he said that, he wouldn't be able to change jobs and come back, and he would definitely stay in the army, and he might be able to rise up.

I remember that he was at the deputy battalion level before, but I don't know how many levels he can get promoted this time?Doesn't the lowest minimum have to be the regular camp? "

Men, after all, are more rational. Xu Chenghou is most concerned about his daughter's life after her marriage.

"If it's a regular business, even if you change jobs and come back, you're still at the same level as Secretary Chen, right?

Whoops, that's pretty cool, sure to get a good job.

How dare we think about it a few years ago when we were still in a big house?

Who would have thought that our daughter would be cured of her illness and find such a good uncle as Li Wei. "

Xu Chenghou was also feeling empty and uncomfortable. He said this to comfort Zhou Guilan, but why not comfort himself?

The old couple stood outside and watched until the convoy was far away and the shadows were no longer visible, then they turned and went back to the house.

When the Han family came to pick up their relatives, they took the east-west road behind Xu's house.

When you pick up the newcomer and go back, you will go south, turn east when you reach the village head of Donggang Village below, and turn north when you reach the village head of Dongshen Village.

This is not to show off on purpose, the main reason is to be particular about welcoming relatives, and not to turn back, but in every village and town, you have to make a detour.

Most of these cars are tied with big red flowers in the front, so it looks like they are for weddings.

This ran on the road, no matter who saw it, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh my god, whose family is getting married? Are they all cars?"

"Look at the back, oops, how many things do you have to marry? My God, what's in the cardboard box above?"

Many people happened to meet when they were going out, and they all stopped to watch.

I don't know who it is, the wedding is so grand?I don't know which girl from that family brought so much dowry when she got married.

"You don't know yet? The old Xu's family in front of the martyr's tomb, his daughter is going out today, and she married someone who attended."

Those who know the details will explain it to those around them.

"Oh, old Xu's family, when you talk about his family, who doesn't know? Their family is now very powerful and rich.

The third son of the old Xu family is capable, so it doesn't count that he went to work in the field by himself. He made both sisters-in-law into workers in the field, and even found a partner in the field.

Didn't expect the girl from the old Xu's family to marry to participate?Oops, this can really work.

Otherwise, there don't need to be many promising children, one can bring the whole family together.

Don't you think that's the way old Xu's family is?Their family is all rich with the third son. "

Those who saw the convoy along the road had to talk about it, but as for the people in the car, they didn't care at all.

Others can say whatever they like, and they just need to live their own lives.

Cars are much faster than horse-drawn carriages and bicycles. After making a half-circle, they headed east and headed straight to Han's house at the eastern end of the venue.

The Han family's side is also very lively.

Han Wenzhong is an old man participating in the field. Both father and son of the Han family work in the field, and they are very generous.

Most of the workers in the field have contacts with the Han family, so of course they have to come to help and follow the ceremony at this time.

The Han family is in the tight east end of the venue, which is the outermost area, and the space here is spacious.

The winter before last Han Liwei got engaged to Xu Shiqin and got the marriage certificate. Last summer, the Han family took over three more houses on the east side.

At that time, I thought about it, Han Liwei had been in the organization for several years, and if things went wrong, he would have to change jobs and return to the local area after getting married, so he must return to the field.

There are six houses in the family, and there is no place for Han Liwei to get married when he comes back, so he took another three and reserved them for Han Liwei's wedding.

Last autumn and winter, the house was tidied up, and all the necessary furniture was done, and we were just waiting for the wedding in the spring of this year.

Who would have imagined, Han Liwei was suddenly transferred to the southwest border, and the marriage was not consummated.

Now that he finally came back whole and got married quickly, the family felt relieved.

The next house, regardless of those old reasons, happens to be a new house for newcomers.

The house here is neatly tidied up, with white-ash walls, concrete floors, cement window sills, and double-glazed windows inside, clean and bright.

All kinds of furniture in the house are also very complete, and there is nothing missing.

On the windows, on the door, and on the wall of the kang head in the east room, there are large-scale happy characters, and around the happy characters are cut out patterns of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness.

Even the roof of the shed is pasted with bright red flowers that represent happiness, making the whole room even more festive with such a decoration.

The motorcade stopped outside the main gate of Han's house. Before the bride got out of the car, the firecrackers at the gate were lit first.

There was a burst of crackling firecrackers, red confetti flying all over the sky, and the smell of gunpowder in the air, adding a bit of festiveness and excitement to today's wedding.

There were people inside and outside the courtyard, everyone had smiles on their faces, and everyone looked at the first car.

"The bride is out, the bride is out, look, it's so beautiful."

Chapter 4 and One

Dressed in a red woolen dress, with red flowers on her head and chest, she is a dignified and beautiful bride with exquisite eyebrows.

Wearing a grass-green uniform, the tall, straight, handsome and upright groom carefully helped him out of the car.

On the side of the Han family, Li Yuexiu came down to the gate surrounded by everyone, and took the enamel basin wrapped in a red bundle from his daughter-in-law with a smile on his face.

This pot is exquisite, called cornucopia.

The past two years are not the same, many old rules have begun to rise again, and weddings have begun to pay attention to various things.

Li Yuexiu took the basin, and Xu Shiqin took out a red flower from the basin, put it directly on her mother-in-law's temple, and called mother with a smile.

"Hey." Li Yuexiu was so happy that she didn't know why, she hurriedly took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into her daughter-in-law's hand.

Then Han Liwei protected Xu Shiqin, and was surrounded by everyone and walked into the yard.

The courtyard of the Han family was full of people, and many young lads were holding whole grains in their hands, and kept throwing them on the newcomers.

This item, evolved later, became a smash on the newcomer.

If it's just corn and beans, it won't hurt too much if you hit it.

The point is that some people are too bad, they mix it with stones, and just throw it at the newcomers, who can bear it?

Fortunately, at the moment, it wasn't too much, so Han Liwei and Xu Shiqin walked through the door smoothly.

All the cars were lined up in front of the gate of the Han family, and those who received and sent off all got out of the cars.

In the car at the back, the young man carried down the big dowry, while the older girl and daughter-in-law in the front carried bedding, luggage and other things, talking and laughing as they walked into the house.

The first couple of newcomers entered the room, and Xu Shiqin stepped on the bricks wrapped in red paper placed in front of the kang and got on the kang.

Sit on the quilt with peanuts, chestnuts, dates and other nuts underneath.

Under the quilt, there is an ax wrapped in red paper, which is called sitting blessing.

The longer the newcomer sits in the blessing, the richer the blessing will be.

The youngest son of Han Lixin's family was carried up and rolled all over the kang, which is called rolling kang.

While the child was rolling, there were still people muttering, anyway, they were all auspicious words.

Waiting for the child to get out of the kang, I have to give a red envelope to mean it.

The newlyweds went to the kang to sit on the blessing, while Su Anhua and the older girls hurriedly arranged the dowry. The curtains, door curtains, and all kinds of curtains had to be hung up, so that people could see Xu Shiqin's craftsmanship.

This item will gradually disappear with the passage of time.

Later, more and more girls stopped learning needlework, and no one embroidered any curtains or door curtains.

Not to mention the curtains, you can go directly to the fabric shop, you can find everything, and you don’t need to embroider it yourself.

Su Anying and other sister-in-laws put the dowry bedding, blankets, etc. into the kangqin on the top of the kang.

The locals also call it bege, anyway, it’s all the same thing.

The quilt prepared by the Han family is two layers, as tall as one person, with quilts on top.

There are four doors at the bottom, where you can put clothes, and there are two drawers below, where you can put some needles and thread.

The ash used for the front of the quilt, on the outside of the finished furniture, first paint a layer of light red paint, and then apply two layers of clear oil, instead of painting directly.

In this way, the texture of the wood is clearly visible, and the color is slightly reddish. It looks a bit like the mahogany furniture in the south. It is the most fashionable way of making furniture in recent years.

Whether it is a quilt, a cabinet, a desk, or a box, most of them are handled in this way.

After another two years, such furniture will be eliminated.

People began to like pure white or off-white furniture, and various patterns were branded on the cabinet doors with soldering irons and the like.

Then in a few years, it will be the kind of modular furniture with decorative panels, and most of them are Shanghai brands.

Others unpacked the dowry color TV, washing machine, tape recorder and other large items, and put them in a suitable place.

The Han family thought of these things when they were making furniture. A set of cabinets on the ground were empty above the tops, where TVs and tape recorders could be placed.

There is a place in the corner of the Westinghouse where a washing machine can be placed.

The Xu family didn't accompany the refrigerator, mainly because they thought it was useless.

Besides, I still don't know where Han Liwei will be next, and it will be troublesome to accompany him with too many things, so it's better to buy them slowly later.

Anyway, as long as you have money, it is not difficult to buy anything.

The bride and groom were sitting on the kang, and the young men in attendance had to come up with some bad ideas to tease the couple.

Xu Shiqin was thin-skinned and blushed from being teased by these people.

It is said that there is no big or small for three days of newlyweds, anyone can make trouble, and they cannot turn their faces.

Fortunately, people are pretty good at this time, just some harmless little jokes, just to amuse the big guys.

When the house was full of laughter and joy, suddenly there was a sound of beating gongs and drums outside.

The voice was quite loud, and it was obviously at the door of Han's house.

Everyone inside and outside the house was stunned, not understanding what was going on, and immediately the fast-legged young man ran out to check, and then ran back.

"Outside, there are several cars coming outside, not only jeeps, but also the ones lying on both ends.

There was a big car following behind, and someone in the car was beating gongs and drums, and they didn't know what they were doing. "

Attending secretary Lin Qiyue and deputy director Li Bingzhuo are both at Han's house.

After hearing those people's descriptions, Lin Qiyue immediately felt that the cars lying on both ends seemed to be cars.

"Secretary Chen, Chief Li, Shi Yan, let's go, go out and have a look, where is the leader here?"
