    There are too many things to prepare before the wedding, let's talk about Guo Xu's house first.

    Guo Xu¡¯s family is married to a daughter, so there must be a dowry to accompany her. In the past, the three major items that accompanied her were sewing machines, bicycles and watches, but now they have become electrical appliances, washing machines, TVs, refrigerators, motorcycles, and air conditioners if possible.  There are also computers; these are a few big ones, and there are more small ones, like quilts. When a girl gets married, her natal family will usually send four new cotton quilts, as well as matching brand-new quilt covers, and treats.  .

    The quilts are all sewed by the neighbors or close relatives. The fabrics and linings are freshly torn, and the cotton is basically new cotton that was laid in the year.  For three days, the back is basically made of satin and velvet, all of which are bright red, some are rich and noble peonies, some are dragons and phoenixes, in short, they are all beautiful clusters of flowers.

    Generally, within three days before the wedding, there will be a banquet in the evening, please invite friends and friends to drink, the main purpose is to tell people the date of the wedding, remember to attend when the time comes, that is, a notice.

    On December 9th, Guo Xu¡¯s house began to treat guests, that is, at night when the neighbors came to the house to have a banquet. At this time, everyone would usually present a gift. The gift money depends on the relationship, and usually ranges from a few yuan to several hundred.  Those who will come will come, and the general gift money for classmates is one hundred.

    The family has someone specially hired to record how much gift money has been paid by the family, and finally staple it into a book. On the one hand, it is to count the amount so that young people can have a score in their hearts in the future. On the other hand, it is to return the gift.  The number of young people who get married just needs to be counted.

    Basically the same thing happened in Xi's house.

    However, apart from food and drinks, the Xi family needs to prepare furniture, including beds, sofas, coffee tables, TV cabinets, combined wardrobes, flat cabinets, etc., and of course quilts, but there are only six beds, which is also a rule.

    However, it is a little different from the Guo family. The Guo family slaughtered a pig by themselves, and the Xi family bought a pig by themselves. In addition, there are many more people at the banquet of the Xi family than the Guo family. After all, marrying a daughter and  Marrying a wife is two different things.

    The big-ticket things that the two families are going to buy are for the two couples to use after they get married. Of course, the two young people will only buy them if they see them for themselves, so the two of them are almost exhausted.  If you like it, you need to have a moderate price. At this time, whatever you spend is your own money. For Guo Xu, it is your future husband¡¯s money.  It's something to regret, anyway, things have come to this point, let's just accept our fate.

    I can't buy all the things in one day, so from the 4th to the 11th, the two of them ran to the county every day for a week, which can be regarded as completely eliminating the strangeness of leaving their hometown for several years in a few days.  I can no longer be familiar with it. Where furniture is sold, where electrical appliances are sold, where bicycles are sold, where motorcycles are sold, where there are many places to eat, how are the prices?

    Jewelry is the most important thing to buy. Guo Xu is not greedy. He only bought a pair of platinum earrings and a platinum necklace. He didn't even buy a bracelet. The total cost was only more than 800 yuan.

    Some small things to be used in marriage, such as couplets, red happy characters, ribbons, lanterns, and combs and mirrors when marrying a bride.  That is to say, spring (beginning of spring) is after the lunar calendar year, so there is also a pair of flashlights, which means not to touch the dark.

    On the 11th, about 20 relatives of Guo Xu's family came to the man's house. This is called sending furniture. This time, it is mainly to send gift money, which is called adding boxes, which is to return gifts.

    The gift from Guo Xu's family was 8,888 yuan. On this point, the Guo family had a dispute. Guo Jun, Guo Xu's brother, insisted on dialing the card and sending a one-line card, but Li Jinghua thought it was impossible, only one  Ka is too embarrassing, and always feels that such a daughter will lose her status when she marries, so Li Jinghua insisted on using 8,888 yuan in cash when adding boxes.  In fact, Guo Jun has another consideration. If he uses a card, even if he knows that there is 8888 yuan in cash, he will not feel anything, but cash is different. Stacks of cash can easily arouse people's greed, but my mother  It also makes sense, cash is more persuasive to people, and it also indirectly tells the second elder of the Xi family that my daughter also has a background and is not so easy to be bullied.

    There is also an interesting little trick in the middle. The female members of the woman's relatives will put some dates, peanuts, millet, etc. in the quilt made by the man's house, implying an early birth, and will hide some in the closet, such as walnuts, dates, peanuts, etc.  Yes, it means to send a hundred sons, to have many sons and grandchildren, no?Now the family planning management is very strict, which means that even the second child can only be born with a girl, which also shows that the national policy is still patriarchal.

    Things have come to this point and there is basically no room for maneuver. Although Xi Zehua said he was happy, he was not completely happy. Guo Xu is beautiful, but his education is too low, and he only graduated from junior high school. It seems that he is at a disadvantage.  No one knows how well Xi Zehua has learned in college except himself, but the kind of arrogance that doesn't know where it came from has been cultivated.  In fact, there are so many college students nowadays, as long as you want to go to school and afford it, you can get a college diploma. What is there to be proud of?

    But Xi Zehua also understands his flaws. The most fatal thing about him is his height. According to the current saying, he is considered third-class disabled. This is also an important reason why he didn't get a girlfriend when he was in school. Girls nowadays not only depend on your character  Family property depends on your talents. Xi Zehua feels good about himself, but unfortunately his size is a big flaw. In addition, he is not so enthusiastic and introverted. If he is good at communicating with people, he might not be single.  Complete four years of college life.

    Generally speaking, Xi Zehua is still satisfied with Guo Xu, and the small shortcoming of too low education is nothing. After all, education and experience can offset it, so it seems that Guo Xu still has a little time to go to Beijing for a while.  of light.

    Guo Xu is the same, regrets are always regrets, no matter how regretful it is now, it is useless, the matter has come to this point and it is completely out of her choice, it is also a kind of helplessness in life, just entrusting herself to someone who has never seen  The man who hadn't gotten to know him well in the two meetings always felt uneasy.  But my ancestors have come here for generations, and I have never seen anyone who really can't live on. In this way, I can actually be regarded as abiding by the tradition.

    But I still envy that guy Linlin, that guy is free now, doing what he wants, going wherever he wants, and her family doesn¡¯t object, Linlin¡¯s personality is like a boy, she¡¯s already pretty  What would she do if she was in her own position?  If she didn't want to, things wouldn't have come to this point at all!  well!

    Is this life?  But I'm still not reconciled, but what if I'm not reconciled now?  Is it time to disagree?  Where can I put my parents' face?  My brother is going to get married next year, what should I do?  There are also neighbors in the neighborhood, how should they say that their parents say about themselves?

    On the night before the ceremony, both of them were full of thoughts and emotions.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
