After she left, others talked about it for a while, mainly because they were curious about the bicycle. They felt that she was doing things very openly. Not only did she clean it up, but she also tied it with a big red flower.

"Yongxi, you are so lucky. You will ride this car to pick up your new wife tomorrow morning. Your face will look so bright..."

"It's quite respectable. When the time comes, the Hu family will also take a high look at our Yongxi."

Zhao Zhenhua warned with a serious look on his face, "Yongxi, you have to be careful with your ride. If you break it, I won't be able to explain it to my cousin. It would be bad if it causes a quarrel."

Cui Yongxi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother, am I the one who is careless? I must treat it like a pearl. Whatever it is now, it will still be the same when I send it back!"

Zhao Zhenhua nodded. In fact, he was very upset. If it weren't for the sake of his elder brother, he wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in this nosy matter. He has the ability to carry big bowls, but he doesn't have that ability, but he still pays attention to the pomp. This is not okay. Are you looking for trouble? It will cause trouble to everyone around you.

Not long after Song Hongguo came home, the two brothers came back holding hands. Their faces were flushed and they looked very excited about playing. Ling Zhi was still reserved. Ling Yuan hugged her legs and chattered about what they had just played. What did they see? It was so lively and festive. They even entered the new house and distributed some red dates, peanuts, and dried chestnuts.

Song Hongguo listened with a smile and asked questions from time to time.

While eating, Ling Zhi asked curiously, "Mom, what do you mean four seats?"

This word was quite old, and Song Hongguo couldn't help but be stunned, "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Ling Zhi said, "I was at Jianshe's house just now, and I heard the adults chatting, saying that the current year is not good, so we have to deal with it when hosting banquets. Otherwise, we should have four or four banquets. That is to say, everyone is having a hard time now, so there is no such thing. Be careful, otherwise the woman’s family will have a falling out if guests come over, so are four or four seats important?”

Song Hongguo explained, "It can't be said to be very important. It is a traditional food custom in our local area. Especially in the past, it was a dish regulation for entertaining guests. It is also a manifestation of cultural characteristics in food, and can best highlight the host's family. Hospitality is also a very high courtesy to guests, so people love this form..."

The brothers listened carefully.

"The so-called four-four tables are classified according to the number of dishes. Four flat plates, four large pieces, four rows of pieces and four rice dishes can be used for eight people at a table. A total of sixteen dishes. Important banquets, such as wedding banquets, are served after formal drinking. Before, there were four dried fruits, four snacks, four fresh fruits and matching drinks. In short, it was very particular and cumbersome, but neither the host nor the guests would find it difficult, because the more rules, the more it can reflect the mutual feelings of both parties. Pay attention to."

Seeing that the two of them were still a little confused, Song Hongguo explained in detail, "For example, if you serve four dried fruits with tea, four snacks with almond tea, and four fresh fruits with red wine, not only can the order not be messed up, but also what combinations should be served. In this case, we must not make any mistakes, otherwise we will make people laugh at us for not knowing the rules..."

"Also, the new ones are put away and the old ones are put away. Only the four dried fruits and the four flat plates that will be officially served later are always kept. The rest have to be carried away regardless of whether they are eaten or not. Therefore, there must be special helpers at the wedding banquet. There are people responsible for doing this, and they go there once in a while, and they have to make sure that nothing happens, so they all need to be experienced..."

"The twelve items I mentioned just now are only for guests to cushion their stomachs before drinking, to prevent discomfort from drinking on an empty stomach. After the table is cleared and the liquor is filled, the big items will be served..."

After Song Hongguo finished speaking, he took a sip of mung bean soup and finally said, "When I have a chance, I will take you to eat once, and you will all understand."

Just listening to it won’t give you a deep understanding.

Hearing this, Ling Yuan was very yearning for it.

Ling Zhi said calmly, "Now that food and materials are so scarce, no one would be willing to host four or four tables. Even those with a rich family would not dare to show off like this, right?"

Song Hongguo smiled helplessly. Don't tell me, it's true. Unless you are the kind of person who is both confident and very strict about rules, getting married once in a lifetime must be arranged in order not to leave any regrets.

This night, mother and son all went to bed early, because they would probably be woken up early tomorrow.

really.

It was still dark, but there was faint movement in the village.

Dumpling whined a few times outside the door.

Song Hongguo opened her eyes and heard the system say, "It's not even three o'clock in the morning. Keep sleeping. Later, the team from the Cui family to welcome the bride will not leave from here. It won't bother you..." This is what he said Said, but after she was confused for a while, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, crackling, it didn't last long, but the sound was very loud.

There was no concept of noise pollution at this time, so the firecrackers were very powerful, much louder than those in later generations. When they were close, their ears could be buzzed.

She couldn't help but remember that when she was a child, there were firecrackers that sounded like cannons and would shake the window glass.

Now, I couldn't sleep at all.

The two brothers were also woken up, "Mom, are you going to pick up your new wife?"

"Well, I'll let you go again later when I pick up my new wife."

"The sound is so loud..."

The eyes of the two brothers were not worried about being woken up, but instead showed excitement and anticipation. Song Hongguo couldn't help laughing when he saw this. That's right, there is no entertainment now. Marrying a wife is a big event in the village. Children like to watch it most, and Why would you think that the sound of firecrackers is a disturbing noise?
In future generations, whoever dares to do this will be scolded behind his back even if he understands the necessity of marrying a wife.

"Do you two want to go see it?"

"think……"

"Then get up, wash up, and shout to Man Yuan. I guess he can't stay at home anymore."

"Uh-huh……"

After getting up and tidying up, it was getting brighter. Ling Zhi fed the pigs and chickens, and then took his younger brother out to watch the fun. The system followed him excitedly and started a live broadcast.

Song Hongguo waited for a while, then locked the door and went to the entrance of the village.

She arrived just in time to catch up with the wedding party. A large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village to watch, chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The team was not long, and the leader was Cui Yongxi. He was wearing army green pants and a white shirt, both of which were brand new. He was pushing a bicycle and his face was beaming with joy.

In the back seat of the car, there was a new wife, wearing a red floral top and blue trousers. She had two big braids, her head was lowered shyly, and she couldn't see clearly what she looked like.

Others followed, both men and women, all on foot. They were either carrying baggage or baskets. There was also a man pushing a cart with two boxes on it, as well as wooden basins, The buckets are all labeled with the red word "Happy", and you can tell at a glance that they are the woman's dowry.

The people from the village who followed to welcome the bride were responsible for beating gongs and cymbals. The sound was loud and festive, and the suona was blown again, making the atmosphere even higher.

The procession slowly passed through the village. A group of children surrounded the groom and his wife at the front, clapping their hands and singing local nursery rhymes, "Little bench pulls up the windlass, open the door to see the wife, who is here?" My uncle, what are you carrying? Little Mahu, do you bite? No, ah wu..."

"Bangbang sells tofu all the way to the back of the mountain. In the first two valleys behind the mountain, two turtledoves are crying there. Turtledove, why are you crying? I'm crying because I haven't found a wife..."

"Chicha man, he has a long tail. When he married a wife, he forgot his mother. He carried his wife to the Nangou and carried his wife on the kang. He baked pancakes and made noodle soup. Add chopped green onions to make the aromatic. Wife, you taste it first. It's delicious. Let’s scoop it up again…”

Song Hongguo, "..."

The cadence is quite pleasant, but will you really not get beaten if you sing these nursery rhymes? (End of chapter)
