"Xiaoying, don't cry, marrying someone is originally a happy thing, just shed a few tears to symbolize it!" On the way, the driver Lao Hao saw that Mao Xiaoying was still crying and couldn't help but persuade a few words. Lao Hao and Mao Xiaoying are both from the same unit and are very familiar with each other.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I'll be at my house in a minute, my brother and many other people are waiting for you to arrive home?" Are you not willing to come to my house? Liu Jielian stared at a pair of big eyes and asked her sister-in-law silly.
"No, I'm happy!" Seeing that xiao uncle and old Hao were talking about themselves, Mao Xiaoying barely stopped the tears.
Yang Guizhi listened to the little uncle saying stupid things again, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but because of the bumps in the vehicle, the taste of motion sickness came up again, so he had to hold back.
"Little friend, let me tell you a couplet story to see if you know what's going on, which is also related to today's thing." The upper link is 'there is face, no face', and the lower link is 'no face, there is face'! "The driver Lao Hao is well-informed, and in order to adjust the atmosphere, he constantly takes the initiative to find words.
"There is face, there is no face; there is no face, there is face!" Oh, interesting, I don't understand, sister-in-law do you understand? Liu Jielian also heard such a couplet for the first time, and he was confused at once, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Since there is face, why does it have no face? Since there is no face, how can there be face?
Yang Guizhi and the bride Mao Xiaoying also looked at each other, smiled, and said almost in unison: "I don't know! ”
"Oh, or let me tell you, in fact, there is a story here, related to what we pulled this time, guess what it is?" Lao Hao deliberately sold a guanzi.
"There's nothing, today's main thing is to pick up the sister-in-law, I see, oh, I know, it's related to coal, right?" Look at the driver master to test himself, Liu Jielian look left, right look, left to think, right to think, it is estimated that it is related to the coal pulled in the morning, otherwise there is nothing else.
Hearing Liu Jielian talk about coal, Mao Xiaoying immediately said, "I know!" ”
"Oh, yes, the couplet is the story of buying coal. You see, now this coal mine also relies on relationships, if you have 'face', there is humanity, then the coal sold to you is a lump of coal, there is no 'coal face', if you have no face, no human feelings, then the ones sold to you must be those 'coal faces', oh, accident human feelings, upside down completely different. ”
"Haha, that's funny!" Hearing this, Liu Jielian jumped up if he wasn't in the car.
At this time, Yang Guizhi and Mao Xiaoying also laughed, because they had more life experience than Liu Jielian, and there were not many similar things they encountered.
The atmosphere returned to joy, time also passed quickly, the car unconsciously had driven to the door of Liu Zhongxin's house in the three provinces village, the car had not stopped, the firecrackers had already shook the world, Liu Jielian took a look at the car, good guy, the two sides of the courtyard door have been pasted with big red happy characters, father, mother; the second uncle Liu Zhongjiang, the second mother, the great uncle Liu Zhonghe, the groom official Liu Jieyuan brother and sister four, Liu Zhonghe's four sons and a daughter: Liu Jieren, Liu Jiezhi, Liu Jieli, Liu Jiexin, Liu Jieyi, There were also Su Xiaoyun and many cadres of the next generation gathered at the door, all of whom greeted the arrival of the happy car, and everyone's equally happy faces and smiling faces.
The car finally stopped, Liu Jieyun immediately moved the stool prepared earlier and placed it at the door of the car, letting Mao Xiaoying step on the car, and then Yang Guizhi and Liu Jielian also came down.
"Big brother, I'll get my sister-in-law back for you!" Seeing the eldest brother Liu Jieyuan in front of the crowd, Liu Jielian got out of the car and ran to the eldest brother to ask for credit.
"Boy, it's not bad, I didn't lead your sister-in-law the wrong way, your level of whistle pulling is OK!" Seeing Liu Jielian's appearance, Su Xiaoyun wanted to tease this little uncle.
"How could that be? Fourth sister-in-law, when you got married, I also gave you a whistle, oh no, fourth sister-in-law, you are already married! Liu Jielian knew that he was wrong, stuck out his tongue, and made a grimace.
"Oh, you haven't pulled enough, when you get married, you can lead yourself!" Su Xiaoyun was amused by Liu Jielian first.
Liu Jielian also realized that the fourth sister-in-law was teasing herself, and turned her head to go up to the house. When Liu Jielian and Su Xiaoyun were talking, they all started to work together, and they had already removed all the dowry on the car and moved it to the house to prepare dinner.
After a night of liveliness and busyness, at eleven o'clock in the evening, Liu Jielian was led to the new room by Li Yuxiu and let him sleep in the kangtou of the new room, "You press the kangtou (1) for your brother and sister-in-law!" ”。 Liu Jielian was really sleepy, and she didn't know what was going on with the kangtou, so she fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, I was woken up by my mother in a confused sleep, "Mom, you are either given me the task of pressing the kang head on the new house of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, how do you call me up?" ”
"It's 4 o'clock in the morning now, it's time to eat dumplings, so you can eat two while it's hot!" Li Yuxiu held the bowl and waited for the child to get up.
"Mom, why is this dumpling so small?" Liu Jielian listened to her mother's words, quickly climbed up, and looked up, the two dumplings in her mother's bowl were also two large peanuts and rice.
"This is the dumpling of the descendants (2), and it has eaten many children and many blessings! Wait a minute, your brother and your sister-in-law will visit the church, don't sleep! Li Yuxiu fed the dumplings in the child's mouth and dressed the child.
"Chapel? That's great! Liu Jielian obediently put on her clothes and went down to the kang, and when she looked out of the house, her brother and sister-in-law were all dressed neatly, her sister-in-law's red skirt was particularly dazzling, and her eldest brother was also particularly spirited in a Zhongshan suit.
Liu Jielian at this time after a night, the stomach of the urine has been full, through the crowd, quickly run to the toilet behind the house, after the urine is spilled, feel much more refreshing, by the outside of the wind blowing, but also a lot of spirit, outside the well to get some water to wipe off the face, and then re-enter the house to see the chapel.
At this time, in addition to the new house, the two houses outside were full of people, and everyone was looking at it with their feet, and the chapel had begun!
Liu Jielian was short, squeezed in by the seam, saw the eldest brother and sister-in-law were saluting their father and mother, after the ceremony, the father and mother each handed the sister-in-law a thing wrapped in red paper. The eldest sister Liu Jieyun came to the kind of dumplings she had just eaten, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law ate one each other, and then the two saluted each other.
Liu Jielian can't understand, but think it is particularly interesting, after a while the eldest brother and sister-in-law are on the kang, sitting side by side with each other, that position is exactly where they press the kang head, and then the second sister, the eldest sister constantly sprinkles colorful flowers on the head of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Yang Guizhi's third sister-in-law also brought a plate of jujubes, peeled off one for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat each, as if the mouth was still saying "eat dates, eat dates, get the son early", it is very strange that the fourth sister-in-law Su Xiaoyun, who usually does not love to appear together, also comes in with a plate of peanuts. It was also peeled off one for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to eat, and the mouth said "peanuts, peanuts, boys and girls are born!" ”
Watching the eldest brother and sister-in-law eat the dates and peanuts, all the people in the room laughed, Liu Jielian also laughed, thinking it was very interesting, he did not know, what more interesting programs will be there below? He had heard his mother say that he would "teach wine" at night (3), so why should he be taught by others to drink?
