Chen Min's target is from the next county. According to local customs, she must get married at home.
The family asked the fortune teller to find the right time to ask Chen Min and the others to come to pick up the bride at five o'clock that morning.
Although the journey is not long, this time is really difficult to arrange.
With the betrothal gift, plus the bridesmaid and the best man, you need at least two cars to go back and forth.
With the time on the road, we have to set off at 1:00 in the evening.
The weather is very cold, especially after the early morning.
Cheng Tianyuan was reluctant to stay up late and asked her to take good care of Xiao Ranran at home. He accompanied Chen Min and Ah Hu to pick up the bride.
That night, Xue Ling drove to help, prepare snacks, candies, and prepare some late-night snacks for everyone.
"You have to drive, so you can't drink. Everyone eat some sweet soup to warm up and then set off."
Chen Min is very grateful, and his honest face cannot hide his smile.
"Sister-in-law, thank you! You and Ayuan ran in and out to help these days. Thank you so much for your hard work! You will definitely come to have a wedding banquet tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Xue Ling nodded and said, "I want to bring Xiao Ranran here!"
Ahu's mother said excitedly: "Remember to let Cuiliu hug Xiao Ranran so that our family can hug her grandson sooner!"
Everyone laughed.
Chen Min was a little shy and buried his head and blinked his eyes.
Ahu laughed and said, "My car is beautiful. The bride and bridesmaids will have to ride in my car later. I have to be very energetic. I heard that the bridesmaids over there are very good at making things difficult for the best man."
Xue Ling asked curiously: "How to make things difficult? Is this a custom?"
"That's true!" Ahu explained: "I heard that there were few girls in this area in the past, and their families were reluctant to let the girl marry, so they would always try their best to stumbling the groom. Don't let him marry the bride too easily, so that he can
I sincerely cherish the bride and treat her well for the rest of my life. After this statement, everyone tried their best to catch the groom and best man.”
Xue Ling asked with a smile: "Why are you trying to catch me? Tell me quickly!"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "Generally, let the best man light a cigarette for them and serve them tea and sweet soup. Some people ride bicycles to pick up the bride, the bridesmaid may break the bicycle on the road or something."
"Wow!" Xue Ling smiled and shook her head: "You must be careful not to get pierced, otherwise you may not be able to drive back. There is still snow on the road, so it would be bad if you get off and push the cart!"
"Yes, yes!" Ahu smiled and said, "Amin, after you see your sister-in-law later, you have to secretly tell her, tell her sisters not to be too bad, and each of us will give you an extra red envelope. If the car can't do anything like this, it's a ghost weather.
If you drive, you can only get out of the cart when you are frozen!"
Chen Min nodded after being taught, "I will tell Cuiliu immediately when I go there."
Ah Hu's mother pulled her son and whispered: "Don't speak unrestrained all day! What nonsense is it on a great day!"
Ah Hu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he said wrongly.
However, I say you are wrong, you are wrong. If you refute too much, you will definitely be scolded again after a while.
"Yes, yes! Listen to you! I will pay attention."
Ahu's mother and Chen Lan went to prepare four auspicious items that the bride would eat when entering the door.
Chen Min explained: "The banquet has been ordered, and Ayuan has seen all the things, and said it is not bad. The house is too narrow, so I will go to the small restaurant to eat at that time."
"Yes!" Ahu's mother said: "Alan and I can stay here with the bride, and you all go to the banquet."
According to local customs, after the bride enters the house, she cannot leave the house again on that day, otherwise she will be regarded as unlucky.
When Ah Hu got married last year, he didn't believe in evil, saying that the bride would also go to a restaurant to eat together so that she could toast guests with wine, and did not always follow some old customs.
Unexpectedly, something happened less than two months after getting married, and eventually they lost both their lives and wealth.
So from the beginning, Ah Hu's mother secretly warned Chen Min that he would follow the traditional wedding customs and he could not have any special idea of breaking the four old ones.
Chen Min has been an honest and well-behaved since childhood. He heard his aunt's warnings and agreed immediately.
Chen Lan explained with a smile: "My aunt and I plan to make a lot of delicious food, and we will accompany our sister-in-law to eat together."
"Okay." Ahu said: "Then let's go eat, drink and get drunk!"
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the time and found that it was already ten o'clock.
"Wife, Xiao Ranran should be sleepy. Go back and rest quickly! Come here earlier tomorrow."
Xue Ling couldn't help asking: "You all have to stay up late at night, don't you rest and sleep for a while?"
"I can't sleep!" Ah Hu smiled and said, "There are so many people who are talking in a mess. How can I sleep? I will only sleep in the middle of the night!"
Xue Ling thought about it and took out a large bag of coffee from the diagonal bag.
"Or I'll make a drink for everyone! This is very awake, and people who haven't drunk it will definitely not be sleepy tonight."
They have to drive in the middle of the night, and if they drive and take a nap, it is very dangerous.
Especially the snow outside has not melted yet, the car is very easy to slip, and people should be more energetic.
Ah Hu glanced at him and muttered: "Why are they all in English? Did they come from abroad?"
"Yes." Xue Ling explained: "This is sent to me by my friend Xiao Jiaxue from the imperial capital. She went abroad last month and bought some foreign products. This is coffee, which tastes very fragrant and has a refreshing effect.
very good."
"Yo! Coffee! That's something that's only available on TV!"
"I heard it was something foreigners drank! It tastes very fragrant!"
"Really?! Sister-in-law, how do you drink it? One pack at a time!"
Xue Ling asked with a smile: "Is there any boiling water? I'll soak some original flavor for you first, and then soak some with milk and sugar."
Chen Lan, who was beside her, hurriedly brought up the kettle.
Seeing that everyone was full of excitement, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but feel funny: "I'll remind everyone first, don't look forward to it too much. I've drunk this thing in the imperial capital, it's like a bitter medicine! I have to try it several times before I found out that there was a little bit.
fragrance."
"No way?" Ah Hu smiled and said, "I have seen people drink in the provincial capital, which is a coffee shop. I see them enjoying it very much, and it seems to be quite delicious!"
"You have to add sugar and milk, otherwise you won't be able to drink it." Cheng Tianyuan said confidently.
Everyone was eager to try, but they didn't hear his words at all.
Until Xue Ling soaked half a cup of coffee, then divided it into several small cups and handed it to everyone.
When Ahu's mother saw that everyone had it, the old man loved to taste it, so she also took a small cup.
Ah Hu was most anxious. After a few blows, he took a big sip.
"Wow! I almost spit it out! Mom! What's it?! This is coffee! It's bitter and smelly! It's so smothering!"
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and schadenfed, "Who made you not believe me?! Ah? I deserve it! I always believe it now?"
Chen Min was filled with sorrow when he drank, as if he had drunk a lot of bitter medicine.
"Oh my God! What a thing! It's so bad!"
Instead, Chen Lan took a sip slowly and tasted it carefully and felt that the taste was very special.
"It smells very strong, and after drinking it, there is a strong fragrance on your tongue."
Xue Ling praised: "Also, there is finally someone who knows the goods!"
She soaked sugar and milk powder and gave each other a half cup.
Cheng Tianyuan took half a cup and drank it slowly.
Ahu was as evasive as a snake and scorpion. At first, he refused to accept it again. Seeing that his cousin and Ayuan were drinking happily, he took it and took it.
"Ah... it feels pretty good!"
Ahu's mother nodded quickly: "It's very rich! It's very fragrant! It's delicious after adding it!"
So, Xue Ling's half bag of coffee was brewed for everyone to drink, making everyone feel refreshed, and she left with confidence.
