Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

As the Laba Festival gets closer and closer, the wedding of Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong is also close at hand.

Since everyone in the Zhou family is relatively close to Fan Debiao, Liu Yunlong, Wu Rina, and the old Li family in the county, and the homes of the two groom officials are far away, there is no way for parents and relatives to find out in the first place. Came here to help prepare for the wedding.

Therefore, the preparations for the wedding fell to Li Youwei and Zhou Yang's uncles and sister-in-laws.

Therefore, in the next few days, the lives of almost everyone in the Zhou family were busy around this collective wedding.

Whether rich or poor, marriage is always the most important thing in the family.

Although getting married these days is not as cumbersome as later generations, it is not a matter of casually bringing people into one's own home. A decent wedding is the minimum respect for a woman.

What's more, whether it's Wu Rina or Li Qian, their natal family is a family with status, so they can't be casual.

Therefore, for this wedding, both Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong themselves, as well as Zhou Yang's family, have made a lot of preparations.

As the red couplets were pasted up at Zhou's old house and the veterinary station, and the village helped slaughter pigs and sheep, the smell of the banquet at the elementary school spread throughout the village, and the atmosphere of the wedding suddenly Intensified.

January 1, at three o'clock in the afternoon!

Fan Debiao's father and elder brother rushed over from Gannan, followed by Liu Yunlong's parents from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At five o'clock, under the amazed eyes of everyone, a send-off team consisting of three jeeps arrived at Babaoliang Village.

These are Uzhina's relatives, including Fan Debiao's father-in-law Bilig, mother-in-law Wuzhiqige, and of course Zhou Yang's sister-in-law Tana and so on.

Sending off relatives is an extremely important part of Mongolian weddings. Under normal circumstances, most of the family's relatives and friends will come to send relatives to the bride.

There were dozens of people, hundreds of people, all riding on horses, singing songs, the scene was extremely grand!

If the wedding is held on the prairie, there will be a hat-grabbing game on the way to send off the bride, also known as hat-grabbing.

The couple who get married and those who send off their relatives gallop on horses and chase each other, trying to get home first and become the winner.

Usually, the sender tries to snatch the hat of the married person, pick it on the whip, or throw it on the ground, forcing the groom to get off the horse to pick it up, so as to affect his speed.

And those who get married protect each other, and don't let those who send relatives snatch their hats.

Along the way, you chased each other and played with each other, with a strong flavor of grassland life.

However, considering that the wedding was held in a remote village, and the man was not Mongolian, the woman decided to keep things simple and only brought a dozen or so relatives. They planned to go back to their hometown and hold a real wedding. Mongolian wedding.

Even so, the scale of this send-off group was an eye-opener for Zhou Yang and others.

........

January 1, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, is suitable for marriage!

Early in the morning, the "Er Tijiao" in the village rang non-stop, and occasionally firecrackers sounded, and the festive atmosphere came up all at once!

At the same time, the Zhou family is extremely lively!

Dozens of people in various costumes squeezed together to wash, line up to go to the toilet, drink milk tea and eat breakfast together. The scene was particularly spectacular.

There are not so many places to live in the village, so after Wu Rina's natal family arrived in Babaoliang Village, they were all arranged to live in Zhou Yang's house.

Anyway, there are five main rooms and three side rooms on his side, and most of the rooms have a big kang.

Anyone who has seen the big kang in the north knows that it is like the big bunk in the school, where seven or eight people can easily sleep on a kang.

If it is the big kang in the main room, it is no problem to sleep more than ten people.

After breakfast, Uzhina's mother, Tana and the others were busy dressing up Uzhina.

That's right, Uzhina is going to get married in Zhou Yang's new house, which is the result of discussions between Fan Debiao and Uzhina.

In fact, Uzhina can also choose the school dormitory, but they think Zhou Yang's home is more memorable.

On the one hand, it was because the two of them knew each other and they had a relationship with Zhou Yang, on the other hand, their wedding room was also Zhou Yang's old house.

From Zhou Yang's new house to marry the bride to his old house, it's quite interesting to think about it.

Zhou Yang naturally would not object to this.

He has been with Lao Fan for more than a year, and they have experienced a lot together. Naturally, he fully supports this kind of thing.

While the woman was grooming at Zhou Yang's house, the two groom officials at the research institute were not idle either.

Since they were married, both Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong put on brand new military uniforms!

Soldiers these days basically wear military uniforms when they get married, which is powerful and domineering, and saves money on new clothes. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

And this may also be the origin of the tradition of soldiers marrying and wearing military uniforms in later generations, after all, this is how their predecessors came here.

At this time, in the parking lot inside the research institute, many soldiers were decorating the two jeeps.

Are you married? It's just for celebration, so the words "big red happy" have to be pasted, and big red flowers have to be hung up.

Soon, the two military vehicles were dressed up as "booming"!

It's eight o'clock in the morning!

With the sound of crackling firecrackers here, the two bridegroom officials came out of their respective dormitories!

Then, surrounded by a group of comrades-in-arms and colleagues, they boarded the jeep that had been waiting for a long time and went to their respective destinations.

The others formed a team and hiked to their new house and elementary school to help!

After Fan Debiao got married, the car drove south all the way from the research institute, and drove directly to Zhou Yang's new house.

And Liu Yunlong's car was interesting, after leaving the gate of the research institute, it didn't drive directly south to the county town, but directly drove north along the sandy road.

It's not that the driver doesn't know the way, but because there is a local tradition of not taking the old road when getting married, that is, the road to greet relatives is not the same road as when returning (this tradition is still preserved).

Therefore, they need to detour the county town from the back road, and then take the flat road when they come back.

Zhou's side!

Under Li Hu's organization, the children closed the big iron gate early and guarded here.

As Fan Debiao's car arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, the children became excited.

After Fan Debiao got out of the car, he looked at the closed gate and the big iron lock on it, and was stunned!

Although Zhou Yang had told him before, although the local culture of playing tricks on son-in-law and daughter-in-law is not too strong, there is a habit of blocking doors.

Especially the man, if he wants to bring his wife home smoothly, he must not only take care of the woman's seven aunts and eight aunts, but also make the furry children on the woman's side happy, otherwise you will not even be able to enter the gate.

I thought what Zhou Yang said was a bit exaggerated, but looking at it now, it is clear that what he said was simple.

After all, in addition to the child soldiers at the gate, there is also a group of adults watching the excitement at the gate, and these people are all "blockers" on his way to marrying a wife...
