Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 738
Chapter 730 IX Confirmation

When Li Junge rushed back to the village committee in a hurry, A Yin was anxious to wait: "Didn't you come out after appeasing Ali Mu? Why is it taking so long?"

Li Junge quickly threw the blame away: "Fourth Grandpa's teaching method is simply a drug of perspiration! People are fascinated by it without knowing it!"

The first half of the wedding ceremony is the six ceremonies, accepting the color, asking for the name, Naji, accepting the sign, asking for a date, and welcoming.

This part of etiquette remains in Lijiagou.

Nacai is to find a matchmaker to come to the door to give gifts to propose marriage; to ask for a name is to send a Luan letter to receive a letter from the phoenix and ask for the eight characters of the name; The date Jane receives the date Jane and returns to the knowledge Jane; a personal welcome is a marriage, and one by one is in accordance with the etiquette.

Simplification is simplification, but it is the same.

However, preparations for Li Junge's marriage were in a hurry, and there were only two steps to proceed at the same time. The wedding ceremony was one visit and one visit, and the rest was settled today.

Li Junge knew Ayin's birthday a long time ago, so he didn't need to ask for it. When the time came, he would show it to Grandpa Yu and take it back, and the questioning would be considered complete;

The matchmaker has settled down with Granny Wang long ago, but Nacai’s gift-giving and marriage proposal don’t need to bother her old man. A Yin and Li Junge have long been in love with each other. Before that, they pulled ropes to collect rice and fish, built Tianxing Pavilion, remodeled the homestay, and repaired the plank road , to attract tourists.This gift of accepting lottery has been given a long time ago, which is called a full ten;

Picking up Jane and returning to Jane is actually a process of discussing the date of marriage. The gift of Najib, together with the date of application, has already been arranged by the old man Shi He.

The old man Shihe has fallen in love with chatting on WeChat since he used a smartphone, and he often posts Taoist chicken soup in the internal group of Lijiagou villagers.

Then a group of villagers even praised him to the sky, but sometimes their replies made people dumbfounded.

Therefore, the old man Shihe didn't have to go down the mountain. After receiving a WeChat request from his mother, he arranged the horoscopes of A Yin and Li Junge, and set the date on the sixth day of September.

In fact, the mother of the two of them has found someone to get together several times in private. Uncle Medicine Master and Fourth Grandpa have both been arranged.

Now the old man Shihe has also given the correct words. The official is partial to wealth, ten gods are prosperous and weak, the main branch is punished, and he is harmed. The gold and soil are prosperous, and the wood is made of wood, which is called a match made in heaven.

I was so happy that my mother couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

So there is the current scene where Li Junge is carrying a suitcase of wild geese and pork up the mountain.

Along the way, Li Junge was inquiring about the wedding customs in the village with A Yin.

Ayin said: "Actually, you already know a little bit. For example, in the villages where you had a good relationship in the past, young people wandered around and told their parents that they had found a sweetheart, and then went through the formalities. This method is called 'promised marriage'."

Li Junge asked: "What if the parents don't allow it?"

A Yin said: "The Miao family values ​​affection. As long as the young people agree with each other, they will basically agree. If they disagree, they can elope."

Li Junge slapped his forehead: "Then Uncle Orion is stupid, the whistle sound in the middle of the night, isn't this clearing the level for nothing?"

A Yin said: "I'm not stupid, Uncle Erhu was expressing his sincerity. If he didn't succeed, my aunt would definitely elope with him."

Li Junge said: "It's true, your Miao Village has successfully shaped Uncle Orion's outlook on life, and that's just one word, '恨'!"

A Yin said with a smile: "Don't make trouble! Uncle Erhu has changed a lot now! Are you still listening?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Go on."

Ayin said: "Elopement and marriage promises are both particular. Usually, the man and a few friends wait outside the village with glutinous rice. Girls bring their clothes, prepared wine and meals, and The most important thing is the umbrella. I steal out of the stockade with my good sisters, worship ancestors in the forest, drink the wine of marriage, and then take out wine and food to entertain friends and sing wedding songs. Then I go home with the boy. The boy will go to the stockade the next day. The woman's Zhaizi made an apology, and it was agreed."

Li Junge laughed: "Why is it a bit like a little boy and a little girl playing house?"

A Yin said: "It's not playing tricks, it's really effective! Ha, but speaking of them, they're only thirteen or fourteen years old, so it's a bit like what you said!"

"There is another kind of marriage, which is usually between a strong village and a weak village. When you meet a girl you like, you first grab it at your own home, and then ask a matchmaker to go to the girl's house to propose marriage within three to seven days."

After finishing speaking, he chuckled and said: "You often laugh at me for 'marrying and snatching son-in-law', which is also a kind of 'pull marriage'. There is also Uncle Er Hu, who also uses force, but it is just one person using force against a village. I really admire his courage!"

Li Junge laughed and said: "The one in the front is not good, but the one in the back is good for marrying and snatching a son-in-law. We, Ayin, go out, so we don't need to pull, hook our little hands, and shout: 'Come on!' Li Erpi is on his own Up the mountain."

A Yin said with a smile: "There is also 'talking about marriage', which is similar to Shanxia, ​​the set of betrothal gifts for media agencies. There are quite a lot of them now."

"The last thing is to 'admit marriage', ah, yes, it's the kind of A Tong and Yamashita Awo, but the age of 'admit marriage' can be even earlier."

"In the Miao village, the whole village knows which family has a baby. The father or mother who gave birth to a son ran outside the door of the neighbor's house when the baby was born. If the neighbor's house gave birth to a girl, they would say loudly: 'My son recognizes it! '"

"If the neighbor's family agrees, the two children will be regarded as a marriage contract from now on. The little girl will live in her mother's house until she is three years old. If the parents agree, she can be taken into her own house by the man and raised up with the boy. Until, both parties Get married, hold wedding banquets, and give gifts and money to recognize relatives."

Li Junge said: "This is not very good, what if I don't see it right?"

Ayin said: "Our Miao family is different from the Han family. We are usually young when we get married. A girl's marriage is not actually the beginning of a married life. I only go back to my husband’s house for a short stay when I’m called during the New Year’s holidays or when the farming season is busy. This is called ‘sitting at home’.”

"Sit at home for a short period of one or two years, and a long period of four or five years, until everyone becomes an adult, or stays at her husband's house until she becomes pregnant."

"Actually, I think the Miao family's wedding is more like an engagement or a trial marriage. It is not the official start of married life until the 'Hengguozao' ceremony is held or after the birth of a child."

"Before that, girls can still continue to look for someone they like, but they have to do it behind the back of their husband's family."

Li Junge shook his head: "It's no wonder that the Miao girls in the novel are all powerful and affectionate, so they have roots! Your autonomy is so high!"

Ayin said with a smile: "Actually, this kind of situation is very rare, because we are basically happy with each other when we get married, and parents also respect their children's opinions. This custom only gives girls a greater guarantee."

"Speaking of the status of a girl, it can be reflected in many places. For example, if the wife dies, she can transfer the house, that is, marry the husband's brother, and then the husband's family has to pay another sum of money to the uncle's family, which is regarded as a remarriage."

"It's more about re-finding a spouse on your own, and the new husband's family doesn't need to give gift money to the old husband's family. The children are usually raised by the original husband's family. Even if the wife takes them away, they can come back to inherit the family business in the future."

"As for a man who is widowed, he can only remarry after three years. If it is less than three years, the husband's family must pay the original wife's family a sum of money."

"In the event of a divorce, whoever brings it up first will pay the other party a gift and money. The man who brings it up can't ask for the dowry back, but has to pay a sum of money. The woman who brings it up has to return the dowry and wedding expenses. Men and women are divided into half, which means that they will be separated from now on. It is relatively fair to both parties.”

"But these are the customs of the early years, and now they are all in accordance with the "Marriage Law". Generally speaking, although our Miao family was still a patriarchal society in the old days, the status of girls was much higher than that of Han girls."

Li Junge was sweating when he heard it, and kept wiping his forehead: "Educated, compared to the Han family's 'three obediences and four virtues', you Miao girls are going to heaven! "Marriage Law" is better, or "Marriage Law"... ..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way on the zipline, all the way to the Banshan Forest Farm.

The roads in the forest are getting better and better. Under the Datuo Shan in the Miaojia Forest Farm, there are also green roads similar to those in Pan’ao Township. You can see the students of the Agricultural University doing scientific research in the golden camellia conservation area and Gastrodia elata field. with a small white four-wheel battery car.

There are also a few thin bamboo bushes that seem to be wild bird feeding grounds, and a shed similar to a hidden fortification is built not far away, and the outside is covered with green plants. It is a special location for tourists who come to hunt birds. .

Li Junge even saw Youqing chicken and bamboo chicken swaggering around not far from the feeding ground. The birds in Miao Village are becoming less and less afraid of people.

A college student saw Li Junge and A Yin coming and said hello: "Hi! Goddess and idol!"

Li Junge just laughed: "Fuck you! You promised to go fishing in Lijiagou to see the younger sister, why did you run up the mountain? Oh, you like the younger sister of the Miao family! I told you that the Miao family can snatch marriages. Go home, and then send a matchmaker to propose marriage..."

The college student's face turned red all of a sudden: "Erpi, don't make trouble! What are you guys doing here?"

Li Junge said: "Don't you understand the big red suitcase and wild goose pork?"

The college student hesitated for a moment: "Ah, you guys are going to get married!"

Li Junge said: "Ah what! It's normal for a male college to marry a female college student..."

The college student took out the car keys: "You go... I don't want to send you off... Although I know that this day will come sooner or later, I will not bless you against my conscience..."

Seeing the back of the college student staggering away in grief, Li Junge hooked his little finger on the car key ring and said to A Yin: "What's wrong with all this? He has a crush on me?"

Ayin pursed her lips and smiled, then patted Li Junge: "Don't make trouble! Go see grandpa!"

I made a phone call before I came up, and everyone in the village knew that today was the day of Ayin and Li Junge, according to the customs of the Miao family, it was called "Dingzhun".

Erpi has become our uncle-to-be, now go pick him-up!I don't know who cheered, and then everyone went to the Miao Village Forest Farm and waited on the road.

The battery car was five or six hundred meters away from the stockade and could not move forward. A large group of people gathered around to ask questions.

Uncle A Chong took over Li Junge's burden with a smile, and said to everyone: "Make way for the prospective uncle! There are times when you make trouble!"

With Li Junge's skeptical personality, he felt wrong when he heard these words, "Uncle Achong, wait a minute! What do you mean when everyone is making trouble?"

A Tong was at the side giggling: "Erpi brother, you will know the day your wedding party arrives!"

Soon Ayin was pulled aside by the lively Miao girls, giggling and chattering in Miao language, and then Ayin replied with a blushing reproach from time to time.

Li Junge rolled his eyes involuntarily: "Hmph! It's encrypted again!"

When I came to the big house on the top of the stockade, I saw a stove set up on the Changba, and Ayin's two uncles were working as oil cooks there.

Li Junge was completely unaware of this problem, and looked at his two wild geese and several catties of pork, and was so ashamed that he almost didn't find a way to get in.

Uncle A Chong explained: "Today is the day when you are engaged to get married. The custom of the Miao family is that the man gives wine and pigs, and the woman treats guests to dinner. You are considered engaged."

Li Junge said with a shy smile, "Ayin didn't tell me this. I came here according to the rules of the Han family. I'm really ashamed."

Uncle A Chong said cheerfully: "It's okay! Just wait for the welcoming team to show up and perform well."

This sounded wrong, Li Junge wanted to smooth things over: "Can I pay you now? You can choose from WeChat, Alipay..."
