    219. Ceremony

    When celebrating children¡¯s weddings in rural areas, it is necessary to entertain relatives, friends and neighbors. This is a custom that has been fixed for many years.

    It is at this time that the great celebrations and arrangements for red happy events will be fully demonstrated.

    Only at this time can we see farmers who have become a character and thrift has become a habit, showing rare generosity and boldness.

    Killing chickens and ducks, knowing how to buy fish and meat, adding dishes and bowls, preparing tobacco and wine, and being polite, the purpose is to make every guest come happily, drink happily, and stumble away.

    Only in this way can they show their grandness, enthusiasm, generosity and hospitality, and only in this way can they end this grand and lively wedding with peace of mind amidst people's praises.

    The guests were drinking sugar tea, chatting and discussing in small groups

    The mosquito nets, quilt covers, wardrobes, coffee tables, writing desks, home appliances, etc. in the new house are all labeled with the red character "‡Ö" and sprinkled with peanuts and red dates, hoping that the bride will have children early and have many children and grandchildren.

    The neatly folded new quilts on the bed are all bright red, and the sheets and pillows are all bright red, which is very festive.

    I heard people say that the more quilts you make, the more generous, grand, wealthy and generous you will appear.

    Sun¡¯s mother bought 12 new quilts for her son and daughter-in-law, which are relatively many in rural areas.  The 12 new quilts are colorful and eye-catching.

    Most of the new quilts nowadays use quilt covers without needlework.  But there are some sheets of silk that still need to be sewn with needle and thread.

    Sun Gang¡¯s home is not far from the county seat. It¡¯s all on a highway. Soon we reached a fork in the road where the highway turns toward the village.

    Zhang Gensheng, who had been waiting there for a long time, raised the big bamboo pole, and a man next to him lit the firecrackers with cigarette butts. The "cracking" firecrackers reminded the villagers: the groom had brought the bride back.

    At this time, the speed of the car was even slower, with several children from the village following on both sides of the car.

    No matter how slow the speed is, the wedding car has its end. The car is parked under the arch of the gate. A red carpet extends from the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the hall. A stage has been set up under the eaves and everything has been placed. That is where the ceremony will be held.

    Sun Gang got out of the car first, and then got out of the car with Zhao Han in his arms.

    Colorful silk arches, flower pathways, sound of firecrackers, bursts of musicall these made Sun Gang's wedding scene extremely festive and lively.

    At this time, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and frolics could be heard, and it was very lively.  Everyone is watching the bride and groom.

    Sun Gang carried his bride across the red carpet, was baptized by colorful strips and hand-held salutes, and walked to the prepared stage.

    Sun¡¯s father and mother were also dressed in festive clothes, sitting on both sides of the table, with the emcee of the wedding company standing beside them.

    Amid the shouts from the neighbors, the new daughter-in-law was carried back to the yard by Sun Gang.

    At this time, the master of ceremonies had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. How could he easily let the two newcomers go? He pulled Sun Gang and "made things difficult" for a while.

    At this time, people watching the excitement outside also gathered around, and the real show was about to take place.

    The wedding officially started under the auspices of the MC.  The first item is to fire cannons and play music.  Suddenly, the festive roaring of firecrackers and the drumming of the invited drum band quickly entered the streets and alleys of the village. The relatives, friends and neighbors who were watching the excitement were suddenly full of people and applause.

    The second item is for the bride and groom to express their gratitude to the relatives and friends who came to congratulate them.  Sun Gang bowed to the guests one by one. The elders of his relatives, such as grandparents, uncles and uncles, also knelt down and kowtowed. A mat had been spread out on the ground.

    In the third item, Sun Gang and Zhao Han saluted their parents. Zhao Han changed their names and shouted loudly and loudly. The red envelope was dazzled in front of them. It contained 1,001 yuan, indicating that it was one of a thousand.

    The faces of Sun¡¯s father and mother were full of smiles. The youngest son also got married, which was considered as a fulfillment of his wish.

    The fourth item is when husband and wife bow to each other, "head to head", they will love each other until the end of their lives; "cheek to cheek", they will love each other forever; "mouth to mouth", they will love each other forever; "hand in hand", after drinking a cup of wine, the cup will  A cup of fine wine moistens the heart, and everyone becomes intoxicated even if the wine is not intoxicating. From now on, the two of them will always be together!  If two people eat big red dates, they will have a big, fat baby next year; if they eat two bites of an apple, their family will be safe forever.

    In the fifth item, Sun Gang carried Zhao Han around on the ground three times and shouted: "I have a wife! I have a wife!" and then carried him into the bridal chamber.  Accompanied by Sun Gang's cousins, aunts, aunts and others, they chatted in the new house.

    After the bride and groom entered the bridal chamber, Sun Gang's uncle, the person who knew the guests, began to arrange for relatives and neighbors to sit at the table to have a banquet.

    First, the wine, cigarettes, and melon seeds and candies are served, and then the meal is servedServe again.  Everyone gathered around the table, smoking cigarettes, eating melon seeds, and chatting. The children gathered around the table and put candies in their pockets.

    Treating guests in rural areas pays great attention to the ranking of relatives. The main relatives should arrange seats one, two, three and four in order.

    Table No. 1 was assigned to the bride and groom, as well as the women who were welcoming and seeing off their brides.  There are ten people in total, which means "perfect and perfect".

    On the second day, arrangements were made for the man who sent the bride off and Sun Gang¡¯s uncles and uncles.

    If the arrangement is wrong, you will be resented at least, scolded at worst, and you will even make a fuss when you meet a picky person.

    Sun Gang¡¯s uncle is an old Zhike, and many people invite him to hold weddings, so he is very experienced and will not have this kind of situation.

    After the main guest is seated, other guests can take their seats.

    Planning the banquet actually starts from the first day, because some dishes are not prepared in time that day.  For example, braised pork, steamed meat, whole chicken, whole fish, etc.

    Firecrackers must be set off before the banquet. At 12 noon, a burst of firecrackers will sound, which proves that the banquet is ready.

    At this time, a group of half-grown young men carried trays and began to distribute chopsticks, plates, spoons, etc. to each table.

    Firecrackers went off, and Sun¡¯s father took the microphone to salute the relatives and friends attending the wedding. After the master of ceremonies gave an order, he could start eating.

    On table No. 1, every time a dish is served, the bride must first pick up the food and pour the wine.  After the second round of food was served, the kitchen stopped serving food. The waiter smiled and said that the pot was frozen and he needed a red envelope for good luck.

    Sun Gang took out a few red envelopes from his pocket and put them on the tray. They would continue to serve the dishes later.

    After finishing the sixth bowl of food, the food stopped again. At this time, Sun Gang and Zhao Han stood up and toasted from across the table, which means "six or six good luck".

    When the food was served, Sun Gang's father and uncle began to toast to the male guests who came to attend the wedding, and said kindly: "Everyone eat well and drink well!"

    Sun¡¯s mother and several aunts led Zhao Han to distribute towels to the female guests and introduced the identities of the people who came to the wedding to Zhao Han.
