118 Married

Lin Fen was wearing a red cotton padded jacket bought by her mother. There was a circle of fake fur on the neckline of the cotton padded jacket, which was very pretty.Below is a pair of trousers that open in the front like Liping's. This kind of trousers has been popular in the city for several years, but it is the first time for Lin Fen to wear them.She sat in the room, shaking her head slightly.Her mother was standing behind her, combing her hair one by one.Liping's good sisters and Ah Feng were also in the room, accompanying her while eating wedding candy.Today is the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in Bingyin Year, the most important day in Lin Fen's life, after today she will be a wife, she can't stop being happy.Early this morning, Ah Feng came to help her draw her eyebrows, put on powder, and put on lipstick.Lin Fen was already very beautiful, but after Ah Feng's meticulous treatment, she is even more radiant. Today, she is the most beautiful woman in Muwa Village.Ah Feng is the only person in the village who has a complete set of cosmetics. Usually, when a girl in the village gets married, she is always invited to help with makeup. Lin Fen naturally invites her to come when she is married.Because Ah Feng also had a wonderful story with Lin Hua, she was very attentive to Lin Fen. She brought a bottle of hairspray that she seldom used, and planned to spray Lin Fen on her hair after combing her hair.

When a daughter gets married, the mother always combs her hair for the last time. There is a lot of care in combing her hair. She combs her hair three times, and it must be combed to the end.The first comb represents that everything goes well after the daughter goes to her husband's house; the second comb teaches her daughter to be filial to her in-laws, love her husband and wife, and be kind to her neighbors after she arrives at her husband's house;

After combing her hair, Ah Feng sprayed Lin Fen with hairspray, and then it was time for Lin Fen to weep and marry.Although crying to marry is just a formality now, Lin Fen really started crying when she thought of her parents who had worked so hard to raise her for more than [-] years, but now they are going to live in another house.

It was already bustling outside, Haishan was in a neat suit, his face was red and smiling.Holding a pack of "Hongmei" cigarettes worth [-] yuan, he would send them out whenever he saw anyone, and he came to welcome his relatives.He came to Lin Hua's father, brought him two packs of "Red Plum", and called him "Dad". This was the first time he called someone other than his own father. sincere.

Lin Hua's father is a typical simple and honest old man in the mountains. After receiving the cigarette, he asked Haishan to pick up the bride.If other tricky people would take the opportunity to attack the groom, the groom would have to say good things and give red envelopes to pass this level.

Haishan arrived at the door of Lin Fen's room, knocked on the door and went in, then said to Lin Hua's mother flatteringly: "Mom, I'm here to pick Lin Fen back."

Lin Hua's mother hugged Lin Fen's arm, weeping silently.Haishan and his best man distributed the wedding cakes they brought to the sisters who came to accompany Lin Fen. Liping and the sisters happily pushed them out after taking the wedding cakes.This is a custom in the countryside in this area, which means that if a family raises such a big daughter, how could it be so easy for you to pick it up.This was repeated several times, and finally Haishan invited Lin Hua's father, and he and Lin Hua's father entered the room, so the sisters stopped making trouble.

Lin Fen reluctantly said goodbye to her sisters, and followed Haishan out of the house crying.The outside of the gate is full of mountain people looking at the beautiful bride. In every wedding, seeing the bride is the most lively scene. People not only look at the beautiful bride, but also look at how many dowries the bride's family has.

Xuemei was sent by the Haishan family to pick up the bride, and she wanted to carry Lin Fen out of the door of the main room. Originally, this was done by sister-in-law Xiulan. Xiulan's fingers were not yet sharp, so she let Xuemei come.After Lin Fen went out, the bridesmaid held an umbrella for Lin Fen. Lin Fen's bridesmaid was Liping. In this happy atmosphere, Liping did not get out of sadness.She and Lin Fen were of the same age, now that Lin Fen is married, she is the oldest girl in the village, and she couldn't help feeling a little more sad.

Lin Fen walked a few steps, looked back at the home he had lived in for more than 20 years, and his parents who were standing at the door with gray hair, and couldn't help crying.

Among the crowd watching the excitement on both sides of the road, those aunts and aunts whispered to each other, saying in a low voice that this girl will definitely not forget her love in the future.The basis for their prediction that Lin Fen will not forget their love is that Lin Fen looks back when he goes out. Rural people like to talk about some groundless things. They say that after looking back, they love to go back to their natal home. Forget mother.

As Lin Hua's brother-in-law, he and a young and strong relative helped carry the sewing machine.Behind them were those who helped push the new bicycle, those who carried the load, those who carried the chicken coop, and so on, a large group of dowry pickers.Except for a few large pieces of dowry, the rest are traditional necessities, such as a new quilt, a pair of hens that have not hatched eggs, a load of glutinous rice cakes, a pair of grapefruits...These things have to be affixed with red paper, even the shoulder poles and the baskets containing glutinous rice cakes. Rural people like to make auspicious signs.

There are also some customs that no one has figured out until now, that is, Xuemei will spread a new towel on every intersection or bridge, and let Lin Fen step on it.What exactly is this supposed to mean?Or something to avoid?The elders in the village couldn't understand either.Just like Liping wanted to hold an umbrella for Lin Fen all the way, this has been passed down from generation to generation, and the younger generations only know to follow suit.I don’t know how long these interesting customs can be passed on in Muwa Village, and maybe one day they will disappear just like people today don’t know the meaning of these customs.

When we came to Haishan's house, happy couplets were pasted on the gates of Haishan's house, and we were all beaming.As soon as Lin Fen arrived, someone lit firecrackers to welcome the newcomer.Haishan led Lin Fen into the door, and Lin Fen stepped on the threshold happily into this new home that already belonged to him.Haishan's mother looked at her face a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything. She was busy entertaining the people from the Lin family, and gave them red envelopes one by one. My uncle and her uncle kept calling.

The people from the Lin family smoked good cigarettes and drank hot tea. After sitting down to rest for a while, Haikun and Hailun pulled them into the banquet. These people from the Lin family are big guests, so they must not be offended. Treat them well with good wine and good food.The people of the Lin family ate a meal and went home contented.Next is the main event on Haishan's side. The red candles are shining brightly in the main room, and the incense is already burning.The highly respected Uncle Nine in the village and the elders of Haishan's family sat on both sides of the hall, and Haishan's father brought Haishan and Lin Fen to worship their ancestors.Then Uncle Nine stood up and solemnly shouted: "First worship to heaven and earth... Second worship to clan... Three hundred parents... Husband and wife pay respects to each other... Tea to the elders." The voice dragged on for a long time.Haishan and Lin Fen followed suit one by one, and finally Xuemei led Lin Fen. Haishan served tea and introduced the elders to Lin Fen one by one. Lin Fen and Haishan offered tea one by one. Red envelopes and say some blessings.

After worshiping, tea was served, and dinner began again.Relatives and friends sat together and started to eat again. The rural people were very affordable. The chickens flew in the sky, walked on the ground, and swam in the water. They made up ten bowls. Everyone ate and drank, and they were very happy.
