Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

The three brothers-in-law who were blocking the door withdrew, and everyone who was welcoming the bride passed the first hurdle and entered the courtyard directly.

However, the door of the house was still closed at this time. Li Xue, Wang Lin, Liu Hongxia and other female educated youths from the forest farm were guarding the second door, unwilling to easily let Sheng Xiping and others enter the house to welcome the bride.

"Everyone, please show your respect." Sheng Xiping looked at the situation and smiled helplessly, and could only hold his hands towards a few female educated youths.

There is a saying that there is no big or small event in the first three days of a wedding. As for weddings, the big day should be lively.

This kind of blocking the door to ask for red envelopes, asking questions to embarrass the groom, etc. is already very civilized. Anyway, the people blocking the door are female educated youths who are thin-skinned and will not make too much trouble.

Anyway, just follow the other party's direction. No matter how much trouble you make, you will be let in in the end. You can't make too much trouble and delay the time of welcoming the bride.

"Groom, please tell me first, who will be in charge after the wedding?"

Several female educated youths asked Sheng Xiping with smiles, deliberately asking questions.

"My daughter-in-law is in charge." Sheng Xiping said directly without even thinking about it.

In the Northeast, it is normal for the daughter-in-law to be the head of the household after marriage.

Of course, the so-called headship only refers to matters at home. If it really comes to big things outside, it must be a man who has the final say.

"Then who's in charge of the money?" Everyone refused to give up and continued to ask.

"My wife is in charge of the money." Sheng Xiping still shouted without even thinking about it.

Men are money rake, women are money boxes.

In the Northeast, it is natural for women to manage money. As soon as Sheng Liancheng's salary was paid, he would give it all to Zhang Shuzhen when he returned home.

Most of the workers in the forestry are like this too. No one will think there is a problem, let alone feel embarrassed or anything like that.

When Li Xue and others heard this, they all pursed their lips in joy, "The last item, you stand here and shout loudly into the room. My wife, I'm here to pick you up. You have to shout three times in a row."

Blocking the door is just a symbolic gesture. How can there be any reason to embarrass the groom?That's about right.

What is this little request?Sheng Xiping stood in the yard and shouted into the house, "Daughter-in-law, I'm here to pick you up." He shouted three times in a row.

Then, Wang Jianshe lost no time in sending red envelopes and candies. When the female educated youths saw it, they dispersed laughing and let Sheng Xiping in.

In the old landlord's house, Zhou Qinglan was dressed in red, wearing a red flower on her head, her cheeks were flushed, and she was sitting on the kang with a happy face.

As soon as Sheng Xiping entered the door, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Qinglan and he couldn't move away.

"Xiping, hurry up and speak. You were shouting so vigorously just now. Why are you silent when you see the bride now?"

When Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo saw him next to him, they quickly stabbed Sheng Xiping twice.

Sheng Xiping came back to his senses, grinned, and said loudly, "Daughter-in-law, I'm here to pick you up, are you willing to come with me?"

It's a pity that it's not the time to receive flowers in person at this time, not to mention flowers, not even plastic flowers.Sheng Xiping could only pick up his wife empty-handed.

Zhou Qinglan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, smiling happily. "willing."

This answer was so crisp and clear that everyone inside and outside the room burst into laughter.

Zhou Minghua's daughter-in-law asked Sheng Xiping to take off his shoes and get on the kang. Over there, Li Yuqin also greeted everyone who was welcoming the bride to sit at the table. There were dumplings and vegetables on the table.

You cannot have an empty stomach when welcoming a bride. No matter whether the family is rich or poor, the woman must prepare a table of food to entertain the bride.

Sheng Xiping got on the Kang, and the little girls from the Tang family, Tang Fengzhi and Sheng Yunfang, stepped forward and put red flowers on the chests of Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan respectively.

Then Wang Chunxiu and Wang Zhongjing's daughter-in-law took out a six-foot-long red cloth, tore it from the middle, wrapped a few dollars in it, and handed it to the bride and groom to tie around their waists.

This red belt cannot be taken off until entering the bridal chamber at night. The money is kept and the red cloth is put away. If you have a child in the future, you can also use it as a diaper or make clothes for the child.

The two of them exchanged and tied the belt on each other. The belt should not be knotted, just circle it twice and tuck up the head.

After fastening their belts, the two of them sat down, and someone brought them over the pasta. They took a symbolic bite of the poached egg on it, and then ate the noodles.

After finishing the noodles, Sheng Xitai took the shoes he had prepared and put them on for Zhou Qinglan.

Then Sheng Xi'an came forward and gave Zhou Qinglan a symbolic tug, which was called a brother-in-law dragging his sister-in-law off the kang.

According to the old rules, the bride has no ties to her natal family and needs to be carried by her natal brother to get married.

But Zhou Qingyang is in the army, and there are no older boys in the Tang family.

So the procedure was changed. Sheng Xiping picked up Zhou Qinglan, walked out of the house, and climbed into the carriage.

The Zhou family's bridegrooms quickly took away the dowry box, the dowry box with two bunks and two covers, as well as the mirror, soap box, cream, comb, green onions, Mingzi and other things inside, and the washbasin wrapped in red furoshiki. , got them into the car together.

Sheng Xiping drove the carriage, and Sheng Xitai and Tang Fengzhi followed Zhou Qinglan and sat in the carriage. Others who were picking up and seeing off relatives followed the carriage behind.

There is no going back when picking up a bride, so when going back, Sheng Xiping drove the carriage around the forest farm for most of the time before returning to the Sheng family's new house.

On the Sheng family side, there were also firecrackers hanging outside the gate. As soon as the wedding team arrived, someone at the other end immediately lit the firecrackers.

Along with the crackling sound and the strong smell of gunpowder, red firecracker debris flew all over the sky.

The carriage stopped in front of the Sheng family gate. Sheng Xiping helped Zhou Qinglan get out of the car. People gathered around Zhang Shuzhen and came out of the house to greet her.

The washbasin with the red bag attached was still in Zhou Qinglan's arms. At this time, Zhou Qinglan handed the washbasin to Zhang Shuzhen, then pinned a red flower on Zhang Shuzhen's head and called her "Mom" affectionately.

Zhang Shuzhen was so beautiful that she couldn't close her mouth and quickly agreed. "Hey." Then he quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and gave it to his daughter-in-law.

Surrounded by everyone, the bridegroom, bride and old woman entered Sheng's house together.

As the young couple's new house, the West House of the Sheng family has long been tidy and tidy. The windows, walls, and ceilings are all covered with big red words of joy cut out by a girl with skillful hands, making it particularly festive.

In front of the Kang, there were two bricks wrapped in red paper. Under Zhang Shuzhen's guidance, Zhou Qinglan stepped on the bricks to get on the Kang.

On the other side, someone spread the bedding that the Zhou family brought as dowry onto the kang.

There were two quilts on the kang, and an ax wrapped in red paper was stuffed under the quilt. There were also a lot of dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other nuts scattered in the middle of the quilt.

The newlyweds sit on top of the axe, which is called sitting on the axe.

Then under the guidance of others, Zhang Shuzhen grabbed peanuts, jujubes, chestnuts and other things and sprinkled them on the newlyweds. While doing so, she muttered some auspicious words such as "getting pregnant early" and so on.

A bowl of dumplings was cooked in the kitchen and brought over. Sheng Xiping picked one up and fed it to Zhou Qinglan.

As a result, Zhou Qinglan bit into it and found that the dumpling was not cooked at all. "Why is it raw?"

When the people around heard this, they laughed loudly and said, "Did you hear that? The bride said she was pregnant."
