    The wedding of Jin Wenhui and Wang Fengping was chosen on October 1st.

    The freshness of golden autumn has completely driven away the heat of midsummer, and the autumn wind even blows on the body with a little bit of coolness.

    Almost the entire Qingquan Town knew that Wang Fengping was married to the driver who drove for the director of the health bureau in the county.  For people who have lived in small towns all year round, it is a great thing to be able to get in touch with officials in the county.  Therefore, Jin Wenhui, the driver, was no different from the director himself in the eyes of Qingquan townspeople.

    Wang Fengping's mother was very grateful for the compliments from her neighbors.  Even though for this daughter, she almost wiped out her entire family and filled up the two cars used as dowry. She watched all this with a smile and felt that this was the most honorable moment in her life.

    People in small towns like to compare, what are they comparing when they get married?  Dowry, of course.  The dowry for the two cars, although not much, is also quite a lot.

    She watched the people who came to welcome the bride load the dowry one by one into the car, and the people who watched the excitement were discussing: "Hey, the patterns on this chest of drawers are so beautiful, are they carved on them? This set of furniture is laid down.  , I¡¯m afraid it will cost a lot of manual work.¡±

    Wang Fengping's mother was delighted when she heard that, but she ignored the group of people, pretending not to hear, and directed the dowry movers from the side: "Be careful, be careful with the glass of the cabinet, put it against the innermost part. Yes, yes, yes  , it¡¯s better to take something to cushion it.¡±

    A pair of Ruyi vases were taken out, with flowers made of velvet stuffed inside.  The vase was handed over to the car. The people in the car felt that the flowers in the vase were not easy to put, so they took out the flowers inside and put them in the basket.

    Wang Fengping's mother hurriedly shouted: "Oh, that flower can't be placed like this. It's made of flannelette, and it will deform if pressed for a long time."

    The spectators asked: "Why are the flowers now made of flannel instead of plastic?"

    Wang Fengping's mother thought she could give them a good lesson: "When did plastic flowers disappear? They are all made of cloth now. Just these two bottles of flowers cost more than 80 yuan? The cheapest one costs 5 yuan.  Money. Don¡¯t look at the odds and ends, it¡¯s the odds and ends that cost the most money.¡±

    "My god, is it so expensive?"

    Wang Fengping's mother said: "That's not true. The times have changed, and it is incomparable with us at that time."

    "You are just a daughter, she more or less belongs to her alone, not to mention my uncle is so capable, the days of happiness for you two are coming." The onlookers said politely.

    Wang Fengping's mother smiled until her eyes narrowed into two slits.

    Someone over there is urging the bride to get on the sedan chair. It's getting late. According to the rules of the small fishing village, the bride must enter the door of her husband's house before the sun sets, otherwise it will be unlucky.

    Of course sedan chairs are not used these days. If ordinary people rent a van and use it as the bride¡¯s sedan chair, and take the guests to the man¡¯s house to drink the wedding wine, the marriage will be considered a marriage.  But after all, Jin Wenhui was driving for the chief, and the chief's car drove over for him.  It was the first time in Qingquan Town that the bride took a car.  The black car, with a big red flower tied on the front of the car at this time, looks very mighty and imposing.

    To see the bride, the highlight is to see the bride.  The normally inconspicuous girl suddenly became the protagonist this day, and became the moon full of stars. Naturally, she had to put in a lot of effort to dress herself up well, so that this day would not be wasted.

    Everyone has heard that Wang Fengping's wedding dress was made by Yan Xi herself. It is said that a pair of dragons and phoenixes are embroidered with gold thread to show auspiciousness.  Few people have seen that dress, but the few people who have seen it sporadically are all amazed, and they can't find a suitable word to praise this dress in the vocabulary they don't know much.  They can only say: "It's so beautiful, I've never seen such beautiful clothes before."

    Everyone praised the dress amazingly, and some people expressed disdain: "It's the clothes that look like that, and you can make flowers? Besides, it's not like everyone doesn't know people like Wang Fengping.  I can't see where to go."

    Wang Fengping's mother heard that the bridegroom was discussing about the bride's sedan chair, so she ran into the house in three steps at a time.

    The onlookers, who knew the way the Wang family behaved, began to whisper: "Just wait and see, the show is about to begin."

    Wang Fengping's mother stepped into her daughter's room one step at a time, and saw two girls who had come to welcome her, one on the left and the other on the right, ready to help Wang Fengping, who was sitting on the bed, get up.  She held her daughter tightly: "What's the hurry?"

    Wang Fengping was stunned for a moment when her mother pressed her down like this, and looked up at her own mother with question marks on her face.

    Wang Fengping's mother said to the two girls: "Although we are from two towns, we are at least from one county. The customs should not be much different, right? The daughter I have worked so hard to raise is yours.Can it be picked up so easily?  "

    The two girls didn't know what to do, they looked at Wang Fengping's mother in a daze.

    Wang Fengping's mother said: "Go, tell my aunt, according to the custom of Qingquan Town, the bride has to pay for the sedan chair when she gets on the sedan chair."

    As soon as the two girls heard that they wanted money, they rushed to tell Jin Wenhui and other people who came to welcome the bride.

    When Jin Wenhui heard this, he felt unhappy when he was given such a show on the day of the wedding: "What is the money for the sedan chair?"

    How could the girl know this, she just shook her head: "Anyway, that's what her mother said."

    "How much?"

    "We didn't ask."

    Jin Wenhui said: "Whether she is marrying her daughter or selling her daughter, she asks me for money on the day of the wedding. What's the difference between this and asking for money on the ground? If she doesn't want to marry, don't marry her. I don't mind it!"

    The relatives next to him persuaded: "What nonsense are you talking about? The car has already driven to the door, and the wedding wine at the woman's house has been eaten. If you don't want to settle, you won't settle? Even if they want money, they raised their daughter so much.  , what's the matter with asking for some money?"

    Another relative said: "In the past, there was such a rule that when the bride got on and off the sedan chair, she had to give some wedding money. The amount should not be large, for the sake of auspiciousness. But now I don't pay so much attention to it. Since Fengping's mother pays attention to these things,  It¡¯s brought up again, so let¡¯s take out a piece of cake and pack it for 16 yuan. On a happy day, don¡¯t hurt your kindness because of such a small amount of money, and let outsiders see the joke.¡±

    Jin Wenhui also knew that at this point, the marriage was finalized.  He thought about it and decided to endure it.  I took out a long cake that symbolized backgammon from the car, wrapped it for 16 yuan, and gave it to my cousin, and asked them to send it over.

    But within two minutes, the two cousins ??ran back again, blushing and said, "She said it would cost at least one hundred and sixty-six yuan."

    Jin Wenhui immediately exploded: "She's crazy, why don't you just ask for 666? You go and tell her that I don't have that much money, and if she wants to despise me for being poor, tell her early that I won't delay her daughter from marrying a wealthy son-in-law!  "

    The two cousins ??stood there in embarrassment. They didn't expect such a thing to happen in the wedding ceremony, and they felt like crying.

    The relatives next to them also felt embarrassed, thinking that one hundred and sixty-six was indeed too much, and they thought that since the two families had agreed on the bride price, they were here today to help get the dowry and pick up the bride.  No one has so much money with them, even if they want to take it, they can't take it out.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
