The sound of firecrackers going off from time to time in the Xianji Bridge Brigade heralds the approaching New Year.
Xiao Jinlin's family had a big happy event before the new year. But the haze of the black bear cast a shadow on this happy event. Because of the threat of the black bear, Xiao Jinlin's marriage almost fell through. If Wu Xiumei hadn't insisted on hanging Xiao Jinlin on this crooked tree.
On the tree, the Wu family has decided not to let Wu Xiumei jump into the fire pit of Xianji Bridge.
Now it's Xiao Jinlin's wedding day, and the bride naturally wants to welcome her back. But the black blind man who has never appeared has become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Xiao Jinlin's family.
Xiao Laosi set up several tables at home and invited Zhou Maolin, secretary of the brigade, and also called in the militiamen of the brigade militia company. Chang Xing was naturally invited over, and the rest were relatives and friends of the Xiao family.
"The main reasons for inviting everyone here are the following. Jin Lin's wedding is on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, so it's only a few days away. But I'm not sure when Heixiazi will come out. Who knows what day Jin Linying will get married?
Will he come out? I thought, if the black blind man can't come out, our life in Xianjiqiao will be better. Jinlin's marriage is welcome. But we have to be on guard against the black blind man, and we can't turn a happy event into a funeral. Please everyone
Do yourself a favor and prepare in advance, the route to welcome the bride is specially prepared." Xiao Laosi said.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. With Chang Xing watching, the black blind man dared to come out and cook it directly as a side dish. When your Jinlin family held a wedding banquet, they served a bear's paw directly. This banquet is very honorable.
?" Zhang Fangqing laughed.
Everyone also said some soothing words.
Zhou Maolin smiled and said: "This happy event must be done. We Xianjiqiao people will not be intimidated by a black blind man. But we have to make things more detailed. The militiamen even removed the thatch and other things on that road in advance these two days.
The ground has been swept clean, don't leave any hiding place for the blind black man. Otherwise, the wedding team will be attacked by the blind black man. Changxing is only one person, and he has no head or six arms. There will be many guests, and Changxing will not be able to protect him."
Xiao Yinshun immediately stood up and expressed his position: "In the past two days, I will take people to cut down all the thatch on both sides of the road. Try to sweep as wide as possible and clean up all the places where the black blind man may be hiding. In fact, there are only a few places in total. Call more.
It's not difficult to get people there, but I have to go and help. Don't let the black blind man attack our thatch cleaners."
"This is no problem. When you go over, call me. I will let the rhubarb be searched first. Then you can go over and chop it." Chang Xing said.
"That's no problem." Xiao Yinshun said.
"Chang Xing, it would be great if you had more dogs. If you let them out, even a blind man would be scared." Zhang Dalei said.
"It's easy for you to say. Is a dog like Rhubarb so easy to raise?" Chang Xing said angrily. Even if ordinary dogs are smart, they are far behind compared with a dog like Rhubarb that has just begun to develop intelligence.
A little bit of it. Such a dog is something you can only meet but cannot seek.
"That's true." Dalei nodded.
"On the wedding day, I will bring Lao Mao and Da Hei with me," Chang Xing said.
Lao Mao is more powerful than Da Huang, but Da Hei is much worse. Although Da Hei is smart, he has not yet reached the level of intelligence. He is only a little stronger than ordinary people.
"That's safer." Xiao Laosi showed a smile on his face.
A big happy event for Xiao Jinlin's family is also a big happy event for the Xianjiqiao brigade. When there is a happy event, the whole brigade will come to help. The day before the wedding, all the preparations for the wedding have been made.
There are red couplets pasted on the door, and red 囍 characters on the door and windows. Even the new house is beautifully decorated.
Xiao Yinshun finally cleared the road to welcome his bride.
"The road to the wedding mainly passed through two mountains, and there was no way to go around it. I swept all the areas with dense thatch. I had people move the cut thatch far away. The view on the road was very wide, and there was almost no hiding place.
In a place where there is a black man, I dare say that as long as the black man dares to come out, we will definitely find him in advance. Plus there is Chang Xing, so I will make sure that nothing will happen on the way to the wedding." Xiao Yinshun said.
Zhou Maolin nodded: "This time you, Xiao Yinshun, have done something real."
"Secretary Maolin, from what you said, I, Xiao Yinshun, have always been a real person." Xiao Yinshun scratched his head.
This time, the educated youth also helped to do a lot of things. They helped write the new couplets posted on the doors of every house, and they also wrote the happy couplets of Xiao Jinlin's family. Among the educated youth, they will
There are many people who are good at writing, and some have good writing skills, and there are also one or two who are well-spoken. Writing a few more fashionable couplets is naturally much more fashionable than an old couplet copied from a peasant calendar.
Liu Wanyi is very dexterous. She folded a piece of red paper in her hands a few times, and then twisted it with scissors a few times. Once she opened it, it was a very beautiful paper-cut.
There are many patterns on it.
"Wanyi, your paper-cutting is so beautiful. This magpie paper-cutting is more beautiful than the painting." Pan Xiaoling, who was standing by, was full of praise for the work that Wu Wanyi had just cut.
"Would you like to learn? I'll teach you." Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"Come on. I'm very clumsy. I can't learn." Pan Xiaoling didn't want to be fooled. She was originally a rough artist and couldn't do such a delicate job.
"Do you think that black bear will come out to cause trouble?" Wu Wanyi said worriedly.
"I hope I don't come out. But who can say clearly about this kind of thing? For a while, everyone was hiding in Xianji Bridge. They didn't give the black bear any chance. But when it was time to welcome the bride, the villagers had to go out of Xianji Bridge.
Bridge brigade. With such a good opportunity, the black bear may take advantage of it. It will be really hard to guard against it. I wonder how prepared the Xianji Bridge brigade is. Can it deal with that black bear?" Pan Xiaoling was a little worried. Now they are a group of people.
The educated youth gradually began to regard themselves as Xianjiqiao people.
"Zhao Jianguo and the others have often trained with the militia company recently. Don't just sit idly by this time. The people of the Xianjiqiao Brigade have helped us so much. This time we can reciprocate the favor and completely eliminate the previous barriers." Wu Wanyi said.
"You have to talk to Zhao Jianguo about this matter. Zhao Jianguo is quite capable, but he is not very thorough and generous in his work," Pan Xiaoling said.
"Xiao Ling, you seem to be quite fond of Zhao Jianguo." Wu Wanyi smiled.
"What's the point of me caring? The key is that people only have other people in their eyes." Pan Xiaoling said sourly.
"Who is that other person you are talking about?" Wu Wanyi asked curiously.
"Don't you know who it is? Zhao Jianguo always finds various excuses to get close to you. Is there anyone in his heart that you don't know clearly?" Pan Xiaoling said.
"Don't talk nonsense. I treat Zhao Jianguo like an ordinary comrade." Wu Wanyi said sternly.
"I know, but Comrade Zhao Jianguo does not regard you as an ordinary comrade. In fact, don't be nervous. I will not turn against your sisters because of this. I have also seen through Zhao Jianguo and found that you are right. There is something about this person.
He is a petty person. Although he seems to be trying to improve relations with Xianjiqiao now, he just wants to use the power of the people of Xianjiqiao to rebuild the farm. Once the farm is done, Zhao Jianguo is afraid that it will be the same as before," Pan Xiaoling said.
.
"Put this aside for now. It's a troubled time now. Some things are better not to be revealed." Wu Wanyi was afraid that Pan Xiaoling's thick line would cause something else to happen.
"Don't worry. I won't talk nonsense. I'm just telling you. By the way, I haven't seen your savior in the past two days. What has he been doing?" Pan Xiaoling asked.
"It's not just my savior. It seems that everyone on our farm is saved by him, including you. He seems to have gone to help clean the road to welcome the bride. He is the only one in Xianji Bridge who can deal with the black bear." Wu Wanyi
said.
"Okay, okay, our public savior, Wanyi, do you have so much confidence in him? Do you really believe that he will be able to deal with that black bear?" Pan Xiaoling asked.
Wu Wanyi nodded: "He will definitely be able to deal with that black bear."
In many cases, weddings are held in the evening. I rush to the new daughter-in-law’s house in the afternoon before rushing to the groom’s house in the middle of the night. In the past, it was okay to rush to the night. But recently, the black blind people in Xianji Bridge have been making a lot of noise. This time period is
Extremely dangerous.
But the original auspicious time for getting engaged was at night, and there was no way to change it at this time. Changing the auspicious time would be unlucky, just like getting married twice.
After going through various ceremonial procedures at her parents' home, the wedding team picked up the new daughter-in-law on the sedan chair, carried the new daughter-in-law and rushed to Xianji Bridge. The new daughter-in-law's family also had to go to a team to see off relatives and guests. Originally, it was the new daughter-in-law who was sending off the bride.
Family members, sisters, sisters-in-law, parents, etc. are not allowed to go. However, some aunts and uncles will send some representatives there. However, because Xianjiqiao is currently in trouble, many people who originally wanted to go did not make arrangements. Mainly because
Afraid of accidents.
The new daughter-in-law's family also sent a group of militiamen, otherwise they would be outshone by the groom's family.
In this way, the defense force is still very strong, especially since the militia team of the new daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's brigade also has a veteran who has returned from the battlefield. He has seen blood, and he still has a murderous aura. The road seems to be safe.
It is more secure.
"Has your brigade been trapped by a blind man for so long?" the veteran asked Xiao Yinshun, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"No. The main reason is that this black blind man is cunning and never shows up. Otherwise, he would have been beaten by our team long ago. The black blind man's meat we shot last time has not been eaten yet. I will invite all guests to you when the time comes.
Try it." Xiao Yinshun said with some pride.
"Aren't you so frightened by a blind black man that you haven't dared to come out for so long?" the veteran said disdainfully.
If a golden flower in the village is picked by someone from another village, no matter which village it is placed in, there will always be some dissatisfaction. It would be strange if they don’t show off to you during the wedding ceremony.
Just as Xiao Yinshun was about to have an attack, the veteran released his momentum, and Xiao Yinshun immediately withered like a deflated ball.
