Oh oh oh!

The rooster stood on the chicken stand, stretched out his neck and crowed.

Liu Qingshan got up early and had already filled two large water tanks in the yard, and his head was steaming.

"Put happy words on it!"

The fourth child followed the second sister and watched her paste the red words "Double Happiness" on the window.

This "happy" character was cut by the handy eldest sister herself.

Seeing Liu Jinfeng holding a red couplet and pasting it on the door, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but muttered: "Sister, what time of the day is it? If you don't hurry up and get dressed up, the big sedan will be here soon!"

Liu Jinfeng held a couplet in each hand. He couldn't spare any hands, so he could only give his brother a blank look. Liu Qingshan was so happy that he quickly went to help.

The red wedding couplet was written by my grandfather. The font is silver hooked and iron painted. It is strong and powerful, with the momentum of an iron horse.

The first couplet is: The sound of the golden phoenix crows.

The second line is: The road to literature is getting higher and higher step by step.

The horizontal comment is of course: a happy marriage for a hundred years.

The names of Liu Jinfeng and Gao Wenxue are embedded in the upper and lower couplets respectively. It is obvious that the old man put his heart into it.

After a while, villagers came for a stroll one after another. The old girls and young wives gathered around the edge of the kang, helping Liu Jinfeng to dress.

Several envious exclamations came out from his mouth from time to time: The satin quilt cover is so beautiful, and the Shanghai watch looks so fashionable...

Finally, the captain's aunt made a concluding speech: "Jinfeng is so lucky. She married an educated youth in the city. This dowry is the first in our Jiapigou."

After saying that, he pointed to the unmarried girls with a smile: "You girls, please remember that if your future betrothal gifts do not meet this standard, you will never get married!"

The girls all had smiles on their faces, but they murmured in their hearts: If that happens, I'm afraid they won't be able to get married.

Outside the house, it is the world of men and children. The little ones are all dressed up today, just like celebrating the New Year. There is absolutely no bare bottom.

Those half-grown men, like Big Tou Er Biaozi and the others, also tidied up neatly, with a brand new towel draped over their shoulders, ready to wipe the table and serve the dishes.

The young guys, with grains in their pockets, began to look for targets, preferably girls who were not yet engaged.

The men, on the other hand, were responsible for their respective responsibilities. They were already busy cooking, washing vegetables, and chopping.

The elderly people gathered around Liu Shikui, smoking and chatting.

All the respected old people in Jiapigou are present today: Zhang Wanfa, the old party secretary; Zhang Wanfu, the oldest of their generation, Grandpa Zhang Er; and Grandpa Guaizi.

Grandpa Guaizi’s left leg is disabled, hence his name.

But this name has no derogatory meaning at all. Instead, it symbolizes glory.

Because Grandpa Guaizi’s leg was injured by an artillery shell during the War of Liberation.

During the holidays, leaders from the county and communes come to express their condolences.

"Dakui, your eyes are getting better too. You old Liu family are getting worse and worse these days!"

Looking at the lively and busy people, the second grandfather also felt something.

Liu Shikui also smiled very happily today: "It's all three of my family's children who are promising."

Grandpa Guaizi nodded: "Sanfeng'er is a good boy. He is the best in their lifetime. If he is placed in the army, he will definitely be a good piece of steel."

The old party secretary was not used to smoking cigarettes, so he still smoked his small cigarette bag. He squinted his eyes and looked happily at Liu Qingshan who was handing cigarettes to the guests, his eyes full of appreciation:

"Qingshan has already been in the provincial newspaper. If this kid hadn't studied well and was going to go to college in the future, I would have wanted to abdicate in favor of someone more talented."

Liu Qingshan happened to hear these words, so he came over and said hello to these old men one by one, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa, Party Secretary, I don't dare to snatch your top chair, you should just sit still."

"

Provoking several old people to laugh a few times, Liu Qingshan continued: "But, I do have some plans, they are all about doing side jobs. After I finish my sister's marriage, I will go to the party secretary's grandpa's house to chat.

You must always be at the helm."

"This guy is so glib. He must have eaten too much of the good stuff." The old party secretary laughed and scolded twice, and agreed.

The atmosphere in the yard is full of joy, and the most popular thing is of course the dual-card tape recorder.

Teresa Teng's sweet voice came from inside: "Tianmi, you smile so sweetly, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..."

"Come on, come on, Uncle Glasses is here to pick up the bride!"

The kids shouted, and they saw Gao Wenxue leading the group on his bicycle, followed by several bicycles in a row, coming over happily.

There are only two bicycles in the village, and the rest are borrowed from relatives and friends in the commune.

At this time, most people use large carriages to pick up brides, and they also form a bicycle team, which can be regarded as a luxurious lineup.

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

When we arrived at the door, the car bells were ringing, making it very lively.

With a click, Liu Qingshan locked the door directly with quick hands and eyes. This is also the local custom. The groom must call the door.

Gao Wenxu also packed himself up very energetically today. His hair was shiny, obviously he had no shortage of oil on his hair.

Wearing white tacky half-sleeves on the upper body, blue uniform pants on the lower body, and a pair of three-jointed leather shoes on the feet.

There is a big red flower as big as the mouth of a bowl tied on the chest, which symbolizes gentleness and talent.

He was also unambiguous. He was so angry that he yelled: "Mom, open the door!"

Ai!

In the yard, a large group of old women agreed in unison and followed suit, so that Lin Zhi's voice was silenced.

"Brother-in-law, why did you come to my house?"

The little old man was at the door and asked abruptly, "You said you were asking questions like this, weren't you asking questions knowingly?"

The young men outside the door who came to pick up the bride also shouted: "We are here to get married!"

Now the little fourth was stumped: I am just a big sister, what should I do?

It was Gao Wenhui who was responsible for this, and he happily stuffed a red envelope through the crack of the door. Liu Caifeng happily took it and put it in her shoulder bag: "Brother-in-law, I will open the door for you!"

Children are so fooled that they can be bribed with just a red envelope.

The courtyard door opened, as well as the outhouse door. This time the gatekeepers were replaced by a group of young girls. They were not as easy to coax as the little old boys.

After a basketful of good words and a stack of red envelopes were handed over, the second level of testing was considered to be passed.

Fortunately, the red envelope only contains a symbolic dime.

In the end, there was only one female general guarding the third level of the house: Liu Yinfeng.

My sister-in-law, I don't dare to neglect her. If she gets into trouble, what if I don't ask my sister to get married?

Liu Yinfeng didn't want the red envelope. Her test was both simple and difficult. She had to write a poem on the spot with a high level of literature.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been stumped. Don't you see, when Su Xiaomei got married, talented people like Qin Shaoyou would have suffered.

Fortunately, Gao Wenxu was engaged in literature, so he recited Shu Ting's "To the Oak" with great emotion on the spot.

The equal and independent view of love expressed in this new poem was exactly what Liu Yinfeng appreciated. Therefore, Gao Wenxue successfully passed the three hurdles and finally met his bride.

Liu Jinfeng is definitely the most beautiful and happiest woman today.

At this time, the custom of red hijab had not yet revived, so she lowered her head and sat on the kang a little shyly.

In the past, the big braid hanging down to the waist has been tied up on the head, with a bright red flower stuck in it.

There were two blushes on her elegant face, whether it was from shame or a light rouge.

Seeing the high level of literature, I just giggled.

Liu Qingshan behind him pushed his eldest brother-in-law, and Gao Wenxue came to his senses, stepped forward and took Liu Jinfeng's hand, and said excitedly: "Jinfeng, I'm here to pick you up. From now on, we will hold hands and walk together for the rest of our lives."

!”

In one sentence, Liu Jinfeng's eye circles turned a little red.

She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and today, it finally echoed in her ears.

Holding hands means a lifetime. This is the promise of the thin man in front of me.

"Literature, my golden phoenix, I leave it to you now. From now on, you two must live in harmony."

Lin Zhi also wiped the corners of her eyes. When a daughter gets married, of course the mother will suffer the most. The daughter is the flesh that has fallen off the mother's body.

Eh!

Gao Wenxue nodded heavily.

Liu Jinfeng's tears also fell down, and the tears of a divorced mother, who wouldn't shed the tears of a married daughter?

The cheerful atmosphere was temporarily replaced by the sadness of parting.

At this time, the little fourth boy poked his little head out of the crowd, looked at the eldest sister and Gao Wenxue, and the braid on his head swayed accordingly:

"Sister, don't cry. In a moment, my brother-in-law will carry you around and you have to go back to our house, hehe!"

The kid spoke the truth. Originally, the wedding took place at Liu Qingshan’s house, so there was nothing wrong with what he said.
