The bride and groom are my good friends. The bride, Sister Dandan, is from Heilongjiang, and the groom, Brother Dacheng, is from Zhuanghe. They're all fine. All belong to the kind of people who come to big cities from small rural suburbs to work hard. It is the kind of effort to bring them together that really makes people convinced. The feelings of two people are also enviable. Brother Dacheng is doing barbecue business at his brother's door. Although it is a small business, we often patronize it because of its outstanding craftsmanship, excellent taste and good business. Sister Dandan, the bride, is a manicurist. It's really cheap for a braggart like me. Coincidentally, her shop is not far from our company. I often go there during my lunch break and ask her to take the necessary materials home at night to look good. She is in no hurry and doesn't spend money. After a while, she became my personal manicurist for free. After a long time of contact, my brother and sister and I became good friends with them. Now, two people can finally work together to run the future family. Of course, we have to witness this wonderful moment in person! Because the old man's family still lives in his hometown Zhuanghe village, according to the custom, the wedding will also be held there. You must also invite all the villagers who are familiar with the whole village to attend. Just like this, weddings in rural areas are particularly lively. Before going to the wedding, my parents described how lively and spectacular the weddings and funerals in the countryside were. This makes me, who is good at joining in the fun, more eager to participate in such "big activities". Early in the morning, before dawn, we got up and prepared to go to Zhuanghe with them. Zhuanghe is a suburb of Dalian, which takes about two and a half hours by car. It was getting brighter and brighter all the way, and when I got off the highway, I got on the highway, and the whole car fell asleep several times. Finally entered zhuanghe city. It's still half an hour's journey from the city to the countryside. All the way down, everyone is very tired, looking forward to arriving soon. I can only see the car galloping in the endless countryside, passing through village after village, passing through many farmhouses, turning a fork and entering an alley ~ ~ Finally ~ ~ Finally, we see hope. From the entrance of Dachengjia village to his door, the distance is several hundred meters, and every telephone pole and corner is covered with red paper. Just like when we get married in our city, we always use red paper to seal the horse gourd cover, just for luck. This hundreds of meters long red paper, like a road sign, led us all the way to the door. Before I stepped into the gate, I saw two big speakers on the ground. "Good Days and Good Luck" sang a happy song, which was no worse than "Wedding March". The rented west gate at the gate is not inferior to the atmospheric archway with the names of the bride and groom printed in front of the hotel in the city. There is already a table in the yard. At first glance, there are dozens of tables. From the gate of the yard to the door, there is a long red carpet, which smells like the Avenue of Stars. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who has never seen this formation. This is not the most exaggerated. Like traveling, I stepped in to see something new before the bride and groom came in. There is a desk in the middle of the yard that looks like a primary school student's desk. There is a man sitting at a desk, writing something in the red book in front of him. There is also a plate of cigarettes scattered in front of the little red book. When I was wondering about this man's identity, my brother came over and patted me on the shoulder: "What's up? Never seen it, have you? This is equivalent to a rural intellectual, the secretary of the brigade, and the person who came here to register for the ceremony. " Oh ~ it turns out that every villager didn't come for nothing. They have to pay the clerk more or less before they can have cigarettes. This kind of thing has really only been seen in TV series, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. It's an honor ~ ~ so the caterer will know whose family came to congratulate him, so that he can return the gift later. Although it is a rural area, people's attention to "reciprocity" is not sloppy at all. Walking into the yard again, in front of the stove, I was shocked by the "chefs" who made the "wedding banquet". I only heard Dacheng's brother say that the spatula is also big, but I didn't expect to know that it could be so hard after seeing it with my own eyes. Just watch a few men in aprons roll vegetables in a big pot with a spatula like a big shovel. I don't know. I thought it was a boiler. Several middle-aged women over there are also busy making a fire. Mixing cold dishes with a "bowl" about the size of my bathtub, they smiled kindly at me when they saw me taking pictures of them with a camera, revealing the simplicity that city people don't have. Turning around, I saw something that surprised me even more. The cooked dishes are neatly placed on the long table next to the stove. At least 20 dishes are equally divided, which looks like a big lotus, but it is beautiful. But dozens of dishes are put together, and everything is put into a lotus. The scene is hard to describe. I put all the photos I took at the back of the article. Don't be afraid if you haven't seen this scene. It's time for the bride and groom to enter the door. The beautiful and gentle sister Dandan walked on the red carpet, holding a taller and more handsome Dacheng brother beside her. Walk slowly into the yard under the gaze of all the villagers and elders. The villagers are all very excited. Unlike cities, you will often see happy events here. The wedding motorcade is more luxurious than one, and the hotel is higher than one star. Seeing more people makes you numb. After all, life in the countryside is still relatively simple, and it is rare to catch up with anyone who has a happy event. Of course, everyone should regard it as a big event. There are many rules about wedding ceremonies in rural areas, all of which are old traditions. What rules are new to me, such as children rolling on the kang, the bride taking a bite of rice with scallion and then spitting on the kang, and the newlyweds sitting in the southeast for luck? ! It's like I'm from the countryside and I'm from the city. Finally, after all the ceremonies, the wedding banquet was officially opened. According to rural customs, attention should also be paid to wedding banquets. You have to take a plate and remove it, and then bring the next dish to the table. We city people, who are regarded as "VIPs" by Dacheng's mother, are all arranged in the house, so don't be so particular. That's the best treatment. I don't have enough eyes for that scene and I'm not in the mood to eat it. I just miss those folks who are having a good time in the yard. Standing at the window, everyone eats one by one, so generous ~ ~ I don't care who is whose family and what relationship, I just try my best to enjoy this rare wedding reception. A "fleeting meal", when I "took time" to eat a few mouthfuls of rice, I looked outside. God, the banquet in the yard only lasted less than 20 minutes, leaving only empty plates and stools. At this time, the villagers made the next rule after dinner. (Anyway, in the countryside, everything has to be kept "rules" hehe ~) After the wedding reception, every family should bring their own bags and take away every dish. Every family is the same. I think it means happiness. At this time, the "back cabinet" became lively again. The villagers stuffed their pockets full one by one, no less than when preparing the banquet. The wedding banquet ended with great excitement under the arrangement of the villagers. Only then did I know that so many dishes, tables and chairs were rented. Before these people in our room had dinner, the car over there came and took the rented things away. Now is a new era, and farmers all know to talk about "efficiency". The whole wedding was marked by a series of rules and regulations, which was very grand and grand. It's completely different from the city. The bride didn't change one dress after another, and she didn't change clothes again and again. During the dinner, no one made fun of the couple and deliberately made things difficult for them. You don't have to toast one person at a time. The wedding customs in some cities have been simplified by the simple folks here. By the same token, many families in the city no longer pay attention to folk customs and gradually misappropriate western wedding forms. The whole idea is to pursue romance and splendor. It's really comfortable to go back to such a traditional wedding in China once in a while and breathe the fresh air in the countryside. The wedding is over, and the happy life of another couple begins. As the wedding vows say, "No matter rich or poor, no matter sickness or life, we are willing to join hands with them and never give up." I think this is the true meaning of marriage? Marriage is so sacred, which means that there are more responsibilities and concerns in their lives. I also look forward to having this sacred responsibility as soon as possible, and through the joint efforts of two people, I will fulfill it to the end. I sincerely wish the two of them can be together forever and grow old together hand in hand! As there was only one cameraman on the wedding day, I temporarily acted as a cameraman at the request of Brother Dacheng and Sister Dandan to help the young couple record all the wonderful moments of this big day. Send some photos of my day now!
