After seeing off the family guests, the wedding banquet continued. All the men, women, and children in the village came to attend, including some acquaintances of Liu Jinyou and his wife from nearby villages.You would definitely not be able to make a toast when sitting across the table. Liu Jinyou, his wife, and their young couple stood on the stage and toasted together.

Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin didn't have anything to do next. The parents were mainly responsible for the reception. According to custom, the groom's parents had to be given "makeup" at this time, so some aunts and ladies didn't know where they got it. The ashes on the bottom of the pot covered Liu Jinyou and Zhao Cuiping's faces, and they had to dress up to make smiles while entertaining everyone to eat and drink.

There is another little episode at this time. Every time in rural areas when a wife marries a daughter-in-law and builds a house, there will be a group of professional people who come to the house to congratulate her. I don’t know why these people are so well-informed. They basically know about every happy event. , and then form a group to come, sing a few happy songs that remain unchanged all year round, and ask for red envelopes and happy money.

The red envelopes given by Liu Xiaochuan were naturally more generous than others, but there were still some people who were not satisfied. Seeing that the wine served at the banquet was Maotai, they also wanted to take away a few bottles.You can't get used to people who bite your nose and face. Liu Xiaochuan's wedding banquet had a dedicated person to maintain order, namely Zhang Manjun's comrades.Lao Ge didn't look at anyone who was singing a happy song, so he just grabbed his neck and took him away by the collar. He looked fierce, and these people were really afraid of him.

After eating at the flowing water table for a long time, and opening hundreds of bottles of Maotai wine, Liu Xiaochuan didn't feel sorry for him. The neighbors all felt sorry for him. Some people began to calculate in their minds how much the old Liu family would have to pay for hosting this wedding banquet. .

By the time it was the turn of the family and the helping group of relatives and friends to have dinner, it was already afternoon, and Zhao Xiufen, Xu Zhibin and Li Yan were all so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.Cousin Zhao Lijun and cousin sister-in-law Wang Jing were okay, they could always have something to eat while working in the kitchen.

Only their own family members were left. Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin filled everyone's glasses with wine, expressed their sincere gratitude and said thank you for your hard work.

Zhang Weibing was excited as he picked up the wine that his cousin and sister-in-law poured for him. Finally, his help was not in vain on this day, and he and his cousin had restored their relationship.Looking at the mother and uncles at another table, they were also chatting happily while eating. It was hard to see that there was any estrangement, at least on the surface.

After the meal, the relatives left one after another, leaving only two sisters and brother-in-law who were not in a hurry to leave, and then the relatives who lived far away.

"Sister Li Yan, why don't you leave? You have worked hard today. Go back to the county hotel and have a good rest!"

"You chase us away, Liu Xiaochuan!"

"No, didn't I think you were too tired? I asked you to go back and have a good rest!"

"I'm not tired, and I don't even say I'm tired when I'm tired. I heard that there is a program in the evening, so I have to stay here and wait. I see that there are so many houses in your house, let alone there is no place for the two of us to live. What if It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one, we can go and live at Mr. Yu’s house, isn’t her husband’s family also from your village?”

Li Yan had already found out clearly that there was a custom of making wedding arrangements at night here, so how could she not join in the fun?It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, not to mention she is a woman. When she and Xu Zhibin got married, Liu Xiaochuan put on a lot of programs for them. She has been waiting for revenge for almost ten years and wants to drive her away. Let’s go, there’s absolutely no way!

It's not just Li Yan who wants revenge on Liu Xiaochuan. When he was a child, he, Xiao Long and Zhang Chao were a famous trio that caused trouble in the wedding room. Many sisters-in-law and aunts were troubled by them.

The custom here in Xinping County is that the wedding lasts for three days, and it is traditional for the young man to have a wedding ceremony, but it is not excessive. It is just a show for the bride and groom. If the show is not satisfactory, the bride will be squatted.The so-called squatting bride means that someone raises her head and someone raises her feet to knock the bride's butt against the edge of the kang. However, it is just a meaning and no one will be cruel.

Whether it is a custom or a bad habit, it is reasonable to exist. In short, in the countryside in the 90s and [-]s, there were people getting married in the village. For the children, it was like a festival. They could eat some wedding candies and smoke wedding cigarettes. Children in rural areas who smoke secretly will be beaten if their parents find out. Only happy cigarettes are exempted.

In addition to eating wedding candies and smoking wedding cigarettes, the finale is the wedding ceremony. In an era when entertainment is scarce, people need such programs.As time goes by, these programs gradually disappear. In the new century, the rural population has lost a lot, and there are even fewer children. But now it is summer vacation, and most of the young people are at home for the holidays, and Liu Xiaochuan still caught up. .

Lu Linlin was very worried when she heard that someone would come to the wedding night. She had never experienced such a thing before, and even went to her mother-in-law Zhao Cuiping for protection.

Zhao Cuiping could no longer protect her daughter-in-law, "Linlin, don't blame mom for not protecting you. The customs are like this, and it's hard for me to show up. If you want to blame me, blame my son for doing too many evil things when he was a child. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end." ah!"

"Don't be afraid, Linlin, I will definitely protect you, and let them all come to me when the time comes!" Liu Xiaochuan promised, patting his chest.

Lu Linlin still didn't believe him, but luckily her two bridesmaids and best friends Qi Fanying and Guo Fang hadn't left yet, so they could protect her a little at night.

In the evening, many people came to Liu Xiaochuan's house one after another. They were all sisters-in-law in their 40s and [-]s, bringing their eight or nine-year-old children to prepare for their uncle Xiaochuan's bridal chamber. There were also some teenagers and half-year-olds. There are children of different generations, including those of the same generation as Liu Xiaochuan, those of the younger generation, and even those of his grandchildren.

For ordinary weddings, each family in the village would send a representative to accompany the ceremony. Liu Xiaochuan was naturally different. He invited all the men, women, and children in the village to come and eat on the running-water banquet. Some of them were sick at home and could not come, and they also asked their family members to bring food back. The tobacco and candy are even more important.

Youdao is a short-tongued person. After having a meal during the day, he couldn't let go of the wedding ceremony at night, especially since there were outsiders in Liu Xiaochuan's family. In addition to Lu Linlin's two classmates, there were also Li Yan, Xu Zhibin and others.Rural people are naturally narrow-minded and can't let go when strangers are around, so when we first arrived, we just chatted while watching TV, eating sweets and drinking tea. Occasionally, some brave sister-in-law would show off to Liu Xiaochuan. Liu Xiaochuan followed all the programs, and the main focus was cooperation.

But Li Yan couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to liven up the atmosphere and took the initiative to make Liu Xiaochuan's program more difficult. They were all classic songs, such as tying candies with thin strings for the bride and groom to eat together, and Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back. some type of.

At first, the people in the village thought that Li Yan came specifically to protect Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin, but then they realized that they were friendly forces!So he gradually let go, and cooperated with Li Yan and the others quite tacitly, which was too much for Liu Xiaochuan.

Until the end, two ignorant juniors actually wanted to become the new wife, and Liu Xiaochuan couldn't cooperate. "Little cubs, are your skin itchy?"

Liu Xiaochuan held one hand down and called Lu Linlin: "Daughter-in-law, take out the medicine needle from your bag and give each of these two nephews an injection in the buttocks. Let me see who of them cries first!"

Lu Linlin pretended to look for a needle, but the two young men immediately gave up. "Uncle Xiaochuan, we've taken it. Tell my aunt to stop looking for the needle! We didn't think anything of it. They are both my third aunt's children." Instigated.”
