Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

After all the people making trouble in the wedding room left, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping looked at each other in unison.

At this time, the lights in the room were dim. When the two looked at each other, although they couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, the atmosphere still became ambiguous unknowingly.

Deng Yuntai slowly approached her until he could see her expression clearly, then swallowed his saliva and said, "Xiuping, it's getting late, let's take a rest!"

Knowing what she was about to face, Zhang Xiuping's face was as red as rouge, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She didn't dare to look at the fiery eyes of the other party, but looked at the small flames of the kerosene lamp that jumped from time to time, and spoke lightly on her lips. He said a soft "hmm".

The voice was very low. If Deng Yuntai wasn't very close to her, he might not have been able to hear her response.

After receiving the other party's response, Deng Yuntai couldn't bear it any longer, and directly stretched out his hand to give her a princess hug. While she screamed in surprise, he carried her quickly towards the beautiful canopy bed engraved with the word "Happiness".

This night, only the husband and wife knew what it was like, not outsiders!

……

The next day.

Although Zhang Xiuping had to go to bed in the middle of the night and was a little uncomfortable as a first-time wife, as a newlywed daughter-in-law, it was naturally impossible for her to stay in bed, so after dawn, she still struggled to get up from the bed.

Except for the headboard, the beds of later generations had no protection on the other three sides, making it extremely convenient to get out of bed.

But in this era of beds, only one side was unprotected, and the other three sides were blocked by shelves.

And according to the current rules, men sleep outside and women sleep inside.

So when Zhang Xiuping got up, she had to step over Deng Yuntai before she could get out of bed. This accidentally alarmed Deng Yuntai.

Everyone who has experienced this 20-year-old young man knows how energetic he is. Even if he struggled two or three times last night, his energy will be restored after a good sleep. Through the bright light of the morning, he can see his beautiful wife. Stepping over him, how could he hold back, and he immediately reached out and hugged her.

Zhang Xiuping said "Ah", then covered her mouth with her hands, and said with a flushed face: "Brother Tai, stop making trouble, get up quickly, it's dawn!"

After Deng Yuntai got over his addiction, he let her go and said, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhang Xiuping said: "It's getting late, I have to get up quickly, otherwise I will be laughed at!"

Deng Yuntai stretched and said, "Okay, then I'll get up too!"

……

After a few minutes.

The couple opened the door and walked out together.

Deng Yunzhu got up early today and kept staring at the door of her eldest brother and sister-in-law's room. When she saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law getting up, she quickly brought over a basin of wash water that she had prepared and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, wash your face!"

Zhang Xiuping thanked her, then started to wash up, and then threw two coins into the washbasin.

These are all rules. During the first three days when the bride enters the house, whether she washes her face in the morning or takes a bath in the evening, her sister-in-law will help carry water. If there is no sister-in-law, other female relatives will help. After the bride washes her face or takes a bath, You have to throw two coins into the basin or bucket.

The coin belongs to the person who carries the water.

As for the amount of the coins, it is arbitrary. Generally, two two-cent or two five-cent coins are thrown in. A stingy bride will throw two one-cent coins, while a generous bride will throw two dimes or even five-cent coins. .

What Zhang Xiuping lost was two five-cent coins.

Deng Yunzhu held the two coins happily, and she still had a good impression of this generous sister-in-law.

"Good morning, Dad!" After washing up, Zhang Xiuping came over to say hello to her father-in-law who was smoking.

Deng Shirong hummed, put the chimney aside, and said with a smile: "Azhen is already heating up the food. You can eat soon."

Zhang Xiuping said quickly: "Then I will go in and help."

Deng Shirong had no objection to this. He was old enough in his previous life and had experienced many things, so he naturally understood what his newlywed daughter-in-law wanted to express.

After Zhang Xiuping came into the kitchen to help, Deng Shirong said to his eldest son: "Yuntai, you don't have to go to the tile factory to work these days. You can stay at home and spend time with your wife. I will leave the bicycle for you. You can take her with you after dinner." Go to Hutou Reservoir to see the scenery and other things."

Deng Yuntai heard this and said with surprise on his face: "Okay, thank you dad!"

……

Hutou Reservoir is the only large reservoir in Bobai County. It is located at the junction of Naxin Brigade and Bangjie Brigade. It can be reached by bicycle from Naye Village in about half an hour.

Therefore, at around [-] a.m., Deng Yuntai took his wife to Hutou Reservoir.

At this time, the Hutou Reservoir actually had no scenery to speak of. Everything around the reservoir was bare and there was no greening. This was mainly due to the massive destruction of the mountains and forests in the reservoir area during the "Big Steel Smelting" period in the 50s and before the land contracting. caused by deforestation of the area.

Until November 2007, Hutou Reservoir was identified as a Category III dam by the Dam Safety Management Center of the Ministry of Water Resources.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers, ensure the safe operation of the reservoir, maximize project efficiency, and benefit the people, in 2009, the Hutou Reservoir Relief and Reinforcement Project was listed by the state as one of the projects to expand domestic demand and started construction. The total investment in the project was 1.144 million yuan.

It was also from that time that Hutou Reservoir became more and more beautiful, and eventually became a famous scenic spot far and wide.

However, even though the Hutou Reservoir is now bare and empty, Zhang Xiuping is still in a good mood.

The couple sat on the grass next to each other, leaning against each other and talking privately, occasionally moving their hands and feet.

Looking at the calm water surface, Zhang Xiuping truly felt what happiness is.

……

In the next two days, Deng Shirong completed one thing, and that was to ask someone to plant a thorn plant (a plant covered with thorns all over its body) at the foot of Litchi Mountain in his home. This plant has strong vitality and can survive as long as it is planted. , don’t pay attention to it at all, it will grow quickly.

It took two days to finish all the leftovers.

In Shuangwang realm, the bride’s family will come to see her on the third, fifth or seventh day after her marriage. This behavior is called “la (first tone) chao (zhāo)” , usually it is the third dynasty, but it also depends on the day. If the third dynasty is not suitable, it will become the fifth dynasty or the seventh dynasty.

When the bride's natal family comes to visit the bride, the bride usually goes back to visit her relatives. This behavior is called "returning to the home".

Moreover, in this era, there is a very strange rule in the Shuangwang realm, that is, when the bride and groom are getting married and serving wine, whatever dishes are served at the banquet that day will be the same when the bride’s family comes to pay homage. When entertaining others, you can’t miss any of them.
