Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 28 Meeting the Marriage (Part [-])

It's actually a bit early for Li Shaoyun to come here now, the person who picked up the bride left at ten o'clock, and it's only eight or nine o'clock now.

After looking around, it looked like a patrolling mountain king. Li Shaoyun was satisfied, and planned to see how the new house furnished by his cousin's house looked like.

The fifth aunt's house has five rooms in total, which is the same as Li Shaoyun's house, but they have four sons and two daughters.

Both daughters were married off early, and the remaining four sons were not separated.

For Li Shaoyun, it is quite crowded, but there is no way, and it is not fashionable to separate families now.

Although there is also a factor of lack of money, many people still want to live together as a family, lively and lively, and they also think that there are more people and more power.

Didn't the old saying say that more people make it easier to work, and less people eat better buns?

Now that the field is rented to the household, the whole family will go to the field, and immediately feel that the field is full of people, and they will not feel short when they start working. That feeling can be summed up in one word: cool!

Of course, this estimate does not include the younger generation.

Anyway, from Li Shaoyun's point of view, she doesn't like such a big family crowded together.

The fifth aunt's family had four sons, three of whom were already married, and this marriage gave birth to several children. Li Shaoyun felt that it was really suffocating for this big family to squeeze together!
But this is someone else's housework, and she can't control it.

She is just a joiner in the fun, and she is currently here to watch the fun.

The layout of the fifth aunt's house is similar to hers, with five rooms in a row. Fortunately, a few rooms have been built in the side building, otherwise it is really not enough to live in.

My cousin, Li Mingjun, got married today, and his new house is located in the side room of the main house. At the moment, the four doors are wide open, and people come in and out.

Li Shaoyun went over to have a look, and the furnishings of the room were quite simple:
The window is pasted with big red happy characters cut out of red paper, which looks beaming.

One is obviously a newly built large wardrobe standing against the wall, and a big red double happiness lettering is also pasted on the door.

A freshly painted table with an armchair under the window shank, presumably this should be a dressing table?

About 1.8 meters wide red lacquered wood canopy bed, bedding and so on are brand new.

There is also a Bee brand sewing machine against the wall. I don't know if it is the bride's dowry, or the groom's family bought it for the new daughter-in-law?
The ground was hammered mud, not cement.

Compared with later generations, it is really simple.

The three most fashionable items in the city at the moment are refrigerators, televisions, and washing machines.

But most of them can't achieve it, sometimes it's good to have one!
Not to mention the countryside, which is an era behind the city: watches, bicycles, and sewing machines.

This is the case with the three major items in the countryside.The fifth aunt's family bought a sewing machine, and she was quite surprised.

This thing is more than 100 yuan now, which is not cheap!
But even so, in Li Shaoyun's eyes, the furnishings are very simple, and people who come in and out are still boasting without saying a word, saying that the Fifth Aunt's house is open and bright, and has bought so many household items for the new daughter-in-law.

Over the years, people have had enough to eat and their wallets have gradually bulged up, but relatively speaking, they are still poor.

Especially with so many children in the fifth aunt's family, it is not easy to raise them. They marry wives one by one, and there is no separation of families. After counting so many people, the grandchildren have to go to school, which is not a small burden.

Li Shaoyun looked around and walked out for a while.

I watched the master cook for a while, but I didn't feel embarrassed to steal my mouth.

Some thick-skinned children took advantage of the chef's inattention, squeezed a meatball or fried meat with a "swish" and ran away, causing the chef to laugh and scold.

Li Shaoyun thinks he is an adult, and he can't bear this face to join this rank.

Although she looked at the croquettes, she was actually quite greedy.

After playing like this for a while, the person who picked up the relatives was ready to go.

As expected, there are seven people including the groom and four bicycles.

Li Shaoyun was taken by one of the girls.

Look at my cousin Li Mingjun, he is really dressed up today.His eyes were bright and full of energy, his face was slightly red, and he didn't know whether it was from excitement or cold.

He was wearing a blue suit, which was a bit too big and didn't fit well, which made Li Shaoyun feel a bit earthy.

Can't help but think of Uncle Benshan's blue hat.

Because he had to wear a suit, and he was a young man with strong firepower, he naturally wouldn't wear a bloated padded jacket like Li Shaoyun.

Wearing a white shirt with a sweetheart neck sweater under the suit is also a fashionable standard in this era.

Several other people also wore new clothes, looking very energetic, trying to make themselves decent.

The other six people are all big girls and young boys, except Li Shaoyun, who looks like a douding.

Out of the village, ride all the way.

Although Li Shaoyun does not need to ride a bicycle by himself, it is not comfortable to sit on the back seat of the bicycle in winter.

After a long time, it was cold, and my legs were numb and I didn't feel it.There is no way, I will get down and walk for a while after sitting in the car for a while.

Not to mention, the roads are not well repaired at the moment, and many places are dirt roads.

Except for the easy walk when passing through the town, I got off the main road not long after I left the town, and it was basically a dirt road after that.

Then I entered the mountain, and the mountain road began to twist and turn, turning around.

In the beginning, Li Shaoyun was still in high spirits, and he had time to watch the scenery.

Not long after bouncing, Li Shaoyun felt that his buttocks were numb, and he couldn't care less about looking at the scenery!
Having said that, there are no beautiful scenery in winter.

After riding for another 10 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination!

The bride's house was on the hillside. Li Shaoyun jumped out of the car, his legs were stiff, and he almost fell down.

Looking up, the bride's house is also busy right now.

There is no wall in the courtyard of the bride's house, and there are people coming and going in the courtyard, which is very lively.

Several people pushed the cart and walked along the path into the bride's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, there was a burst of firecrackers crackling.

Li Shaoyun looked over and saw that seven or eight low tables were also set up in the yard, and people were surrounding the tables to eat the water mat.

Unlike the bridegroom's house, the bride's house is generally held earlier.

Usually the groom and the person who picks up the wedding starts before the arrival of the bridegroom!

After the groom picked up the bride, the banquet basically came to an end.

It's not like the bridegroom's house, which only starts at noon and eats until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

If the host’s family is well-connected and there are many people who come, there may be three or four or four or five o’clock meals.

Not to mention, in the evening, the groom's house will set up a few other tables, and specially invite the manager and helpers to eat.

After all, marrying a daughter-in-law will take three or two days of busy work.

Therefore, when people talk about their reluctance to marry their daughters, they feel sad and cold, and this factor is also involved.

After all, if no one left, the excitement would only last for a while, and the main excitement was still at the groom's house.

Afterwards, Li Shaoyun followed to watch the fun. It was the first time she was picking up relatives, and she didn't know what she was going to do, and her cousin didn't assign her any tasks.

I guess it's because she's young, and the other one doesn't pay that much attention to getting married now.

Li Shaoyun felt that he had completely become a bystander now, and was a little dazed.

I don't know where the role of picking up relatives is?
Estimated to make up the number?This is her only function!
