Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 31

Before four o'clock, the convoy to pick up the bride had already arrived at Zhang Facai's house and stopped on the road in front of his house.

Although it is said that Zhang Chao bought a house in the city, the wedding still has to be held in his hometown, and it is only lively when the wedding is held in his hometown.

Then the wedding was held in my hometown, and the account guests in the unit had to wait until Zhang Chao went to work before inviting them.

When you get married, for friends and colleagues who follow along, the Luzhong area is commonly known as Zhangzike.It means that the money that comes with the gift is recorded on the bill, and when these friends and colleagues also have official business, they have to return the gift.

Zhang Facai built five tile-roofed houses, and the three houses on the east side were originally intended for his son to get married. Although his son will not live here after his next marriage, the three houses are now arranged as wedding rooms.

As for the means of transportation for the wedding reception team, they are getting more and more advanced. In the 80s, it would have been nice to have a tractor in the team picking up the bride.And the cost of hiring a tractor at that time was definitely not low. When Zhao Zhijiang married Zhang Huifen, he hired a tractor to come to the Zhang family in Xiaomiao Village.Although it is only a short distance of four or five miles, it costs 10 yuan to hire a tractor.You must know that when Zhao Zhijiang and Zhang Huifen got married in 1982, the wages of government civil servants were generally only 30 yuan a month.Relatively speaking, in 1982, 10 yuan was considered a huge sum of money.

In the 90s, as small cars began to appear in the eyes of ordinary people, it would be very face-saving to borrow a Santana to greet relatives.In the 90s, there were almost no private cars, and most of the cars were owned by the public. To get a Santana, it was not as simple as money, it must have a lot to do with it.At this time, tractors will also appear in the wedding party, mainly for transporting dowry.

But in 2002, the wedding team had already started to consist of all cars. It would be too shameful for anyone to buy another tractor.

Zhang Chao's wedding team consisted of six all-black Santanas. By this time, the first rich people in each village had started to buy private cars.It is not too difficult to collect six Santanas. If you have the conditions, you can directly buy six Audi A6s.
Zhang Chao's fiancée's home is fifty miles away from Xiaomiao Village, which is not close. In order not to delay the auspicious time of worship, Zhang Facai woke up his son without waiting for him to wake up.

After Zhang Chao got up and finished washing, he changed into a suit, but he encountered some trouble when putting on a tie.

In the countryside, people usually don't dress so formally, and few people know how to wear a tie.So Zhang Facai asked in the crowd who would wear a tie, and after Zhao Qingshan heard it, he ran to his cousin and neatly tied the tie for him.

"Not bad, cousin, so handsome!"

Zhang Chao looked at his cousin happily and said, "Really?"

"Cousin can still lie to you?"

"That's right, hahahaha."

Zhang Facai walked over shaking his head: "You two, if you don't praise yourself, I don't think anyone will."

Then Zhao Qingshan's uncle turned his head to ask his second brother Zhang Hai, and said, "Is everyone here? It's almost time, so we have to go early, and we will waste time on the way."

On the wall facing the door in the living room of the wedding room, there are posts on the life of the man and the woman, as well as the auspicious time of worship and the taboo zodiac signs.

Zhang Hai is the supervisor of his nephew's wedding. He turned his head to Zhang Bing, the younger generation at the door, and asked, "Zhang Bing, have all the wedding guests come?"

"Zhang Bin and Zhang Meng are here."

There are six wedding cars in total. During the wedding ceremony, the groomsmen and groom are sitting on the first float, and then the cars following the float are to sit in the wedding team.There is no fixed number of teams to welcome the bride, usually the groom's unmarried peers or friends, and then a steady elder must follow to control the time.

Zhang Hai frowned and said, "Including Shan Zi, there are only four people, a little less."

Then he turned around and sent his three older brothers back to call his son over.

Not long after, Zhang Hai gathered six of Zhang Chao's peers from his family, plus Zhao Qingshan and Zhang Ming's elders, making a total of eight people.

Zhang Chao and his colleague best man got into the first car, and then Zhao Qingshan and Zhang Ming each found a car and sat in it.

Zhang Hai stood in front of the float and directed his two brothers from the same family to set off firecrackers.

As soon as the firecrackers went off, Zhang Hai waved his hand, and the wedding car set off.When the convoy drove out, the firecrackers behind hadn't finished.

Long before the convoy set off, the Zhang family had arranged for people to paste happy characters on all the bridgeheads, stone mills, wellheads and other places that the convoy had traveled throughout the journey.

The convoy headed east all the way, took the national road from the east of Zhaizi Village, and then headed north, and then the speed increased.

Starting from Xiaomiao Village at [-]:[-], by [-]:[-], they had already arrived at the alley entrance of the bride Qi Xiangmei's house.

Xi Niang's house is the fifth house in the alley, and the road is outside the alley entrance, and the team stops at the alley entrance.At this time, the two children shouted "The groom is here!" and ran to the bride's house.

Zhang Bing, who was in the same car with Zhao Qingshan, jumped out of the car without closing the door before the car stopped. He shouted and ran to the bride's house, scaring the two children who were holding the door and almost fell down.

However, Zhang Bing didn't run a few steps, so he stopped and laughed.

After the groom Zhang Chao got out of the car, he also laughed.

Everyone got out of the car, and then the groom held a large bouquet of flowers, striding forward, smiling, and led everyone to the door of the bride's house.

However, at this moment, the black lacquered iron gate with the word "Happy" on it has long been closed tightly.

Zhang Bing, Zhang Meng and other young men rushed forward, banging on the gate with all their strength, shouting: "Open the door! Open the door!"

And the people inside shouted: "Red envelopes! Red envelopes!"

Zhang Ming stood at the back, looking at the lively scene in front of him, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

It was not yet five o'clock, and it was still dark. Two 100-watt incandescent lamps hung at the gate of the bride's house, illuminating the whole alley very brightly.

Zhang Chao held the bouquet and stood beside Zhang Ming, watching his vanguard charge into battle.

Greeting relatives is sometimes like fighting a war, and if you want to win this battle, red envelopes are the best bullets.

Zhang Bing was more shrewd, and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, we want to give out red envelopes!"

The people inside were not to be outdone: "Throw the red envelope in, and we will open the door!"

For his cousin's wedding, Zhao Qingshan still has a deep memory. The welcoming team and the bride's brothers and sisters made a fuss at the gate for more than half an hour before opening the door.

Of course, as for how to open the door, only Zhao Qingshan knows now.
