The peach blossoms bloomed quietly, little by little at first, just like the blush on the cheeks of a reserved oriental girl; then, they turned into patches of red, and the quiet orchard suddenly became intoxicated by this pink color. in fairy tales.
Peach blossom is a very gentle flower. Just like its color, it is not a warm and unrestrained rose red, nor a graceful and luxurious peony red, but a clear and light pink, like the light ink lightly dyed on rice paper. It penetrates into people's hearts little by little, without being pretentious or ostentatious.
Peach blossom is the most simple flower. In spring, her figure can be found everywhere. In the fields, on embankments or in hills, she silently releases her beauty in these most ordinary places, without asking for anything. In return, for those flowers that stay pampered in the greenhouse all day long, peach blossoms really have a beautiful temperament that makes "the sixth palace pink and white colorless".
A few peach branches were folded, and the buds were covered with buds. Put it in a vase and put it on the bedside, and the room will be filled with fragrance.
After admiring the peach blossoms, Sun Gang strolled on the nearby hillside, and the wilderness was warm and bright.
The sun appeared and disappeared half of the face, which was very dazzling. Even though I had taken off my winter coat, I still felt very warm. There was also a thin layer of oily sweat on his forehead.
The gentle breeze blew towards my face. It brushed across the face and ears, making waves of nagging roars. But it is not the sharpness of spring cold, but the soft warmth of a lover. It makes people convinced that this is the real spring breeze.
Under the field ridges covered with withered grass, the leaves of wormwood have already pulled out their tender stems.
In the fields where rice stubble still exists, thin and oily grass half an inch long has grown.
There are also extremely small field grasses that are crawling on the ground, with inconspicuous leaves and canes. and other unknown grasses. Although sparse and sterile, it has also spread out into a thin brocade.
?????????????????????????????????????????????] I walked over and searched carefully, and found another unknown small yellow flower. Before long, this place will be a lively scene of green grass, bright flowers, and the buzzing of butterflies and bees.
The mountains not far away are covered with green pines and firs, and the green smoke is light and hazy. Along the stone steps, you climb up and hide in a dense and slender pine and cypress bush.

After the bride and groom went through the lively welcoming ceremony, paid homage to their ancestors and parents-in-law, and spent the bridal night with flowers and candles, the ancient wedding etiquette is coming to an end.
But it¡¯s not over yet. We both have to go back to our father-in-law and mother-in-law¡¯s house to get married, which is commonly known as ¡°returning to the home¡±. There are "San Chao Hui Men" who return home three days after marriage, and "Nine Nine Tens" people who return home nine days after marriage.
Now I basically come home after three dynasties.
Therefore, according to wedding customs, three days after the wedding, Zhao Han will return to her parents' home with Sun Gang.
According to previous customs, the bride should wear red clothes and red trousers (or red skirt) on this day, and, accompanied by her husband, return to her natal home under a red umbrella.
Nowadays, many brides no longer want to show off in red clothes and red umbrellas, but the custom of being accompanied by their husbands back to their parents' homes has not changed.
A married girl who does not return home for three days is considered unfilial to her parents.
No matter what the reason is, strong winds, dark snow, knife paths, and nail rolling boards, we have to go back.
The return home is when the new son-in-law returns to his parents' home with his new daughter-in-law once after marriage, which should be regarded as the last chapter of marriage etiquette. This is an essential etiquette.
From the son-in-law¡¯s point of view, this custom has the meaning of thanking his father-in-law and mother-in-law for their kindness, visiting and getting to know the woman¡¯s relatives and friends; from the daughter¡¯s point of view, it expresses the feeling of not forgetting the kindness of her parents in raising her after getting married and starting a family.
When a new son-in-law comes to visit, he will naturally be warmly entertained by his mother-in-law¡¯s family. A son-in-law is better than a son-in-law, so it¡¯s no wonder that he is not well received!
However, it is not an easy thing for the groom to return home after leaving home and leaving his parents for the first time.
In some places, the custom of returning home is to embarrass the new son-in-law when returning home, so that when the new son-in-law tastes the sweetness of being a son-in-law, he also has to experience the ups and downs.
Not to mention that the new son-in-law will be judged in front of the bride¡¯s relatives and friends. The bride¡¯s sisters alone will not be able to resist it.
¡°These wanton girls would do anything to smear their brother-in-law¡¯s face with cigarette ashes and black paint, and make him eat dumplings filled with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.
The new son-in-law cannot get angry when being teased. Even if he is at a loss and extremely embarrassed, he still has to smile and let it go.
Sun Gang has always been glad that he does not have a sister-in-law, nor a naughty cousin-in-law.
The bride¡¯s family attaches great importance to returning home in three days.Therefore, the groom must be prepared in advance, both mentally and in terms of gifts, in order to leave a pleasant and good impression on his parents-in-law.
Sun Gang prepared all the gifts in advance and bought some gifts that Zhao¡¯s parents liked.
Then the two of them carefully groomed and dressed up to maintain a beautiful and handsome image.
In the morning, Zhao Han¡¯s cousin came to Sun Gang¡¯s house and invited them to ¡°come back.¡±
Three days after the wedding, the brother-in-law (brother of the bride, if there is no brother, a boy from the same clan will take the place) goes to the groom's house to pick up the brother-in-law and sister back to their parents' home, saying "please come back".
The daughter-in-law's family will hold a banquet to receive the son-in-law, which is called "returning home wine". If they come and go on the same day, it is simpler and is called "please come back." Gate banquet".
As soon as Xiaoliang entered the courtyard, he saw his cousin-in-law Sun Gang standing in the courtyard with a cigarette in his mouth. He puffed out a puff of blue smoke and asked Xiaoliang with a smile: "Xiaoliang, is it just you?"
Xiaodian nodded: "My uncle asked me to pick up my sister!"
Suddenly, Xiao Liang saw a red face flash behind the windowpane of the west room and then disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, cousin Zhao Han came out of the house with a smile and waved to him: "Xiao Liang, come to the house quickly, we will set off later."
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Sun Gang, Zhao Han, and cousin Xiaoliang set off with a cart full of gifts.
When Zhao Han returned to her parents' home, the two of them greeted the old man first. Sun Gang and Zhao Han called them "Dad, Mom." It seemed very natural and cordial.
Zhao¡¯s father and mother Zhao¡¯s faces were full of joy, and their son-in-law called Sun Gang sweetly. Zhao¡¯s mother was also busy organizing a banquet with good wine and food for them.
Sun Gang should also be cordial, enthusiastic, and courteous when treating Zhao Han's relatives, friends, and neighbors. When meeting people, regardless of whether he knows them or not, he should say hello first and treat each other with courtesy.
During lunch, Zhao Han accompanied Sun Gang and toasted to his parents and relatives one by one, thanking everyone for their blessings on their wedding.
After the meal, the two of them were not in a hurry to go home. They chatted with Zhao's parents for a while and listened to their teachings before finally saying goodbye and going home. And you should take the initiative to invite the two elderly people and relatives to your home.
When I got home, I chatted with my parents for a while, mainly because they wanted to know if Sun Gang had been rude at his in-laws' house.
