The day before getting the marriage license, Jinbao's eldest uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle and fifth uncle all came.
They came on the tractor of the production team. Su Xiaomeng said that there was no need for tractors in the village due to the slack farming season. Everyone wanted to come to Jinbao’s wedding, so they decided to come together on the back of the truck. They also brought a lot of corn and oranges grown in the village.
.
The originally spacious living room quickly filled up with people, and everyone marveled at how beautiful this five-star hotel was.
It didn't take long for Su Yize to get involved with relatives he had never met before.
Su Jianmin and Bai Lu were busy greeting people. They had not seen such a lively scene for a long time, especially with several children gathered together. After all, four generations lived under the same roof.
Lu Feng came with Su Wenian. He walked into Jinbao's room and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow! Jinbao, all the people in the living room outside are your relatives? There are about twenty people, old and young, in total."
"Yes, there are my uncles and cousins. If the tractor can't fit, my aunts will also come." Jinbao took out the embroidered shoes made by his second aunt, "Aren't they beautiful? My second uncle's mother hand-embroidered them.
So lovely."
Lu Feng took the embroidered shoes and looked at them for a while, "What a coincidence, these shoes match the skirt I designed."
Jinbao looked at the bag in Lu Feng's hand curiously and said with a smile: "I thought you designed a Western-style wedding dress, and I thought it would definitely not be able to wear it. We are going to hold a wedding at Grandpa Yao Hua's place. It must be a Chinese-style wedding dress."
Yeah, I don’t know how to wear white clothes..."
"The skirt I designed is not a traditional Chinese dress, but it has classical elements in it. You can take a look first."
Lu Feng said as he took out the dress, which was a combination of top and bottom. The collar was designed with the button collar of the cheongsam, the sleeves were the wide sleeves and narrow openings of the Hanfu made in the Ming Dynasty, and the skirt was in the style of a horse-faced skirt, a bright red skirt.
The face is printed with lilies, and the cuffs are trimmed with black lace, echoing the lace embroidery on the neckline, adding a bit of elegance, agility, elegance and dignity.
It has to be said that this dress not only combines the oriental beauty of cheongsam and classical Hanfu, but also incorporates Western fashion elements. It can be said to have both traditional ethnic charm and European retro sophistication.
"It's very beautiful," Jin Bao praised, "I can see you put a lot of thought into it."
"If you are willing to wear it, then all the thought I put into this dress will be in vain."
After Lu Feng finished speaking, he took out the accessories that matched the clothes, including necklaces that matched the cheongsam, and many beautiful headdresses.
Jinbao didn't know how to thank him, "If you are short of money, I can still spend money to buy it with you, but you are not short of money, so I can't just say thank you and then accept your offer casually."
Good intentions, right?"
"Of course thank you is not enough," Lu Feng took out the camera in his hand and said with a smile, "I have become obsessed with photography recently, but few people make me want to take pictures. Jinbao, wait for you to change clothes, but
You want me to take a good picture of you."
"Ah?" Jin Bao was stunned for a moment, "Not so fast. The wedding reception was at 8:08 pm, and it's not even 5 o'clock yet..."
"It doesn't matter, you take your time, I'll wait outside, but be sure to call me when you're combing your hair. I have to take a photo of that scene." After saying that, Lu Feng seemed to have thought of something, and laughed again, "Yes, I'll do it first.
Go take pictures of your relatives."
Before Jin Bao could answer, he had already turned around, opened the door and walked out.
In Grandpa Yao Hua's house, Yang Xuelan arranged the furniture she had bought before, spread the wedding quilt on the bed, and then placed large and small happy words in every corner of the room. In addition, she also asked her husband to help hang the happy quilt on the wall.
I specially found craftsmen to make latte art, fan-shaped paper flowers, lanterns, paper fans, red hydrangeas, and red umbrellas.
"Doesn't it look festive?" After doing all this, she asked happily with a smile.
Yao Hua's grandparents were very satisfied, "Ji Qing, this room is for Hua Hua and Jin Bao."
This room is the main bedroom. It was originally lived by Yao Hua's grandparents. Later, when they got older and had inconvenient legs and feet, they moved to a room closer to the door for easier access. The main room facing the courtyard has been left unused.
No one lives there.
The house was left by Grandpa Yao Hua's great-grandfather. It used to be full of people. Seven years ago, the two aunts who helped with cooking and cleaning left one after another. Now only two old people, Grandpa Yao Hua and grandma, are left living in this big house.
inside.
Grandpa Yao selfishly hopes that Hua Hua and Jin Bao can live with him. He always says: "What kind of good house can we get in the work unit? It's like a pigeon's nest, with a slightly larger bed."
No less.”
When his daughter-in-law said that she wanted to move the wedding furniture she bought for Hua Hua to his own home, Grandpa Yao was extremely happy, "This courtyard has no other advantages, it's just that it's big, and it can fit everything in it."
.”
In addition to decorating the wedding room, they also hung red lanterns everywhere and specially trimmed the courtyard.
"Have you invited the chef?" Grandpa Yao kept asking his son early in the morning, "After receiving the wedding, I want to treat the in-laws to a meal. Go and ask Jinbao's relatives how many people will come in the evening. I'm fine.
Prepare the table, a lot of space needs to be set up.”
Yao Heming thought that his in-laws only had five brothers, Lao Su and his wife, Jin Bao, and one table was enough.
When Yao Hua came back from Jinbao's place at noon, they learned that Jinbao's grandparents, uncles, and cousins had all come from the countryside. They hurriedly added two more tables, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then helped the chef to catch up.
Prepare the dishes in the evening.
"Hua Hua, you have to change clothes," Yang Xuelan said. "We are leaving at half past seven to pick up the bride. We can't be late."
He had previously asked a tailor to make a Chinese-style Tang suit for Hua Hua. Except for the cuffs, collar and buttons, which were embroidered in red, the rest of the suit was black. It looked calm and majestic, with a certain elegance in the classical charm.
Because the Yao family has few relatives, Grandpa Yao specially invited a team to welcome the bride. They all wore Chinese tunic suits. Some held gongs in their hands, some held drums on their chests, and there were also flute and suona players. It was so lively and lively.
Many other neighbors came to watch, and Grandpa Yao gave them the cigarettes and candies he had prepared in advance. "Today is the day when my grandson Hua Hua gets married. There may be some noise at night. Please forgive me."
Other people's wedding cigarettes are issued one by one, but Grandpa Yao's is issued in packs. They are also the best Chinese cigarettes. A pack of Big China cigarettes is 70.2 cents, and a pack of Little China cigarettes is 6 cents and 2 cents. They are better than other famous Peony cigarettes and
Shanghai cigarettes are even more expensive by two cents.
The neighbors who got the cigarettes and candies were beaming with joy. They kept congratulating Grandpa Yao and said with a smile: "Getting married is a happy event. Let's get the blessing together. It's not too late to be happy. How can we be too noisy?"
At half past seven, the wedding team set off on time.
Yao Hua walked at the front of the team holding a brand new bicycle, thinking that today he would take Jinbao home to hold the wedding, and tomorrow they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate, and then they would be a legal couple...
