Chapter 155: My cousin gets married
In the countryside, every family will experience such happy events as marriage, it is a big event, and it is also a painstaking task. Not to mention other families in the village, Feng Yiping has participated in it several times, although it has not been his turn yet, he already knows the hard work.
So later, after watching some TV series, the parents of both men and women in the city met and said, "I think next Tuesday is a good day, so I will set it on that day, and then the wedding will be held in a few days. He was stupid and envious at that time, thinking that people in the city are really worry-free to do things!
Of course, when he became a city man himself, he realized that, well, many plots on TV are exaggerated based on the jokes, and they are just to fool the mountain people who don’t know anything. It is not easy for a city man to get married, so he has to start making various preparations at least half a year in advance.
And it is not like in rural areas. Men and women in rural areas prepare their own banquets. When the city people prepare for marriage, many things are done by the two families, and the two families hold the banquets together. There are more conflicts and conflicts. He has encountered them. Because of the conflicts arising during the wedding preparations, the two people who are about to get married almost broke up.
Feng Yiping and his father rushed back to Wu on the afternoon of the first day when Sister Yuhua got married. When they arrived at the second uncle's house, it was already very lively outside.
A big fat pig that I specially left was just out in the morning. At this time, one side was still hanging on the ladder against the wall, and the other side was on the large chopping board. The two chefs invited were splitting.
Several cousin-in-law were already busy on another chopping board, chopping a piece of fish into pieces, preparing to make fish balls, and two were cutting vegetables.
Those who help tomorrow will have to have dinner at the second uncle's house in the evening and arrange some things. Feng Yiping counted the people who came in and out. It is estimated that the three tables could not be beaten tonight. That's right. Not to mention these chefs, there are many people who help carry the dowry tomorrow.
Two large stoves were already set up on the ground next to them, and two large sea pots were pressed on it. A row of small stoves had been laid under the eaves of the uncle's house. In front of the house were piled with many miscellaneous items that the second uncle's house could not put down, and there were many miscellaneous items to be used tomorrow.
As soon as I entered the main hall of Erwang’s house, I smelled a heavy smell of paint. The main hall was filled with dowry and all covered with red paint. Each piece was covered with "Xi" written on red paper. Of course, it was the one that connected with two "Xi".
He couldn't get into Sister Yuhua's room, and it was filled with girls' laughter. There were big girls and young wives in the bay, chattering and very happy, but I couldn't hear what I was saying.
There was a circle of people sitting around the kitchen. Of course, the three brothers of the Feng family were all there. The fourth uncle, the private teacher, was responsible for the wedding. Seeing his third brother and Feng Yiping come in, they decided to make the task of father and son without saying a few words. Feng Zhenchang will still be responsible for accounting tomorrow, and Feng Yiping will become a glorious little jogging hall.
There is no way, there are too many young people working inside and outside, and there is not enough staff.
Seeing Feng Yiping showing a difficult look on his face, Brother Dongming knew what he was thinking and immediately added, "The tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks and trays are all ready for you. You will only be responsible for the two tables placed in the uncle's house tomorrow, so it is close to you!"
Oh, that's good. You know that running a hall is not an easy job. If he is far away and takes charge of three or four tables, his little arms and legs will not be able to stand it.
Next, there was nothing he had to do. What the adults discussed was tomorrow's reception arrangements, mainly to receive those who are well-known, such as Sister Yuhua and Brother Dongming's uncles, cousins from the four brothers and grandmothers of the Feng family, representatives from the man's wedding, and some guests to invite.
When doing such a thing, the most feared thing is to make mistakes in a busy manner, which makes people neglect or are not well-professional. As the saying goes, some people with bad tempers will have an attack no matter what occasion it is, or even take advantage of the problem, but the owner will still have to smile.
Feng Yiping didn't serve the table and went home by himself after he was full in the kitchen. So, when he was busy, he was the most likely to make mistakes. Usually, no one cared about him, the big treasure of the Feng family, today!
He slept in a daze before he heard his father come back. When he saw that it was already past ten o'clock.
The next day, Feng Yiping stayed in bed until after 7 o'clock, and was woken up by Wenhua and Wenhui. When he went out, he saw that the weather was beautiful and the sun had already come out. In winter, it was a rare and good weather.
The yard of Er Bo’s house is already very lively. The dishes for the lunch banquet are already started. There are all kinds of chops on the chopping board. Everyone is talking, but if you whisper, others can’t hear clearly.
Feng Yiping took his two nephews and ate a big bowl of noodles, and walked towards the hill behind the wall. He went to see the wind. When the landline phone was far from popular, he didn't know when the man's wedding was to arrive, so he could only use such a stupid method.
At the beginning, only the Wenhua brothers were followed. When they arrived on the hills, they were covered with small radish heads. There was no way. In the countryside, whenever there was such a happy event in the village, it was like a festival. It was normal for those little guys who went to elementary school in the village to skip school for a day.
This time, the handful of hard candies that the second aunt stuffed into his pocket finally came in handy, and the little guys snatched it away in a while.
These little guys are too idle to stay. They always run around the kitchen and Shangang. There is food in the kitchen. You can get a meatball or a piece of fried fish once. On the Shangang, you can know when the wedding receptionist will arrive. When you surround yourself, a large handful of candy is indispensable. Maybe you will get a few tickets.
At around 8 o'clock, people came one after another on several roads, all of whom came to give gifts. At around 9 o'clock, grandpa brought his uncle and third uncle to come.
For such a thing, ordinary relatives can just ask someone to bring a letter, but a relative like grandpa was asked to invite a cousin three days ago.
When he came, he was immediately invited to the main hall of his uncle's house, and he was specially arranged to accompany him.
At around 9:30, I finally saw a person coming on the way, with several drummers playing Feng Yiping's song that he couldn't understand, but was very happy. The man's wedding receptionist arrived.
Brother Dongming and his brothers, who received the news, followed the fourth uncle and Feng Zhenchang, and a few elders in the block, stood on the side of the road, with long firecrackers hanging on a bamboo pole next to them.
When you can see each other's face clearly, the firecrackers are lit. Amid the "crackling" sound, the people on both sides are like meeting each other, taking a few steps forward, shaking hands and greetings enthusiastically.
The hill next to it was surrounded by people, most of them were in the fog, and some were guests who came to give gifts. Many people, especially those big girls and wives, were eating melon seeds while pointing at the groom wearing a blue Zhongshan suit and a big red flower tied with red silk on his chest.
The groom is the kind that is attractive. At first glance, it’s really not a good thing. If you look at it a few more times, you will be happy. You are a little older than Sister Yuhua. It is probably the first time that you have been watched by so many people. Your face is even redder than the red flowers on your chest.
After Feng Zhenchang and the others finished speaking, they stepped aside. The children next to them immediately rushed around and reached out to the person next to the groom. They were prepared there, and took out handfuls of wedding candies from the basket with the big red wedding letters, and even broke the cigarettes apart, throwing them into packs of crowds around them. Everyone jumped up and grabbed them. In short, it was very happy!
