Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

February 2nd is the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, so it’s a good time to get married!

Before dawn, the crackling of firecrackers rang out in the village, adding a touch of joy to the quiet mountain village.

This seemed to be a signal, and then the lights were turned on in every house, and the young people got up one after another.

After simply settling things at home, they rushed to the east end of the village.

Today is the day when Xiao Xiaowa gets married. Since both of his parents are dead, the village party secretary Feng Kai issued a radio announcement last night. The whole village has a collective holiday today and they all go to Xiao Xiaowa's house to help.

Everyone knows that although the notice was issued by Party Secretary Feng, it was actually Li Yi's intention.

Who doesn’t know that Li Yi and Xiao Xiaowa grew up wearing crotchless pants? In the first few years, Xiao Xiaowa was always Li Yi’s follower.

Looking at Li Yi's help and support for Xiao Xiaowa in the past few years, who can't see it with envy.

It is entirely possible that he invited everyone to attend the wedding banquet in order to support the little puppy.

Of course, even without Party Secretary Feng's notice, most people in the village would still go.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Little Dog is the only veterinarian in the village cannot be ignored by everyone.

After all, who doesn't have chickens and pigs these days, and these animals will inevitably get sick, and they may need puppies at some point.

When he marries a wife, anyone who doesn't have any deep hatred will come to support him.
In the main room of the Li family, Li Yi and Jiang Xue also got up early.

The two also put on new clothes and new shoes, and then drove Zhang Ziqiang, Zhang Feng and others to the puppy's house in a big Mercedes Benz and a small Jeep.

When Li Yi and others arrived, many people were already busy in the yard.

The men were busy setting up tents, lighting stoves, setting up tables and chairs, and some were driving mules and carriages carrying large buckets to the wells to pull water.

There is no running water these days, and a wedding like this consumes a lot of water, so we can only use big buckets made of iron buckets that hold gasoline and diesel to haul water.

Don't ask about the hygienic issues of using gasoline barrels to fill water. Everyone in the village does it and no one cares!
The women were not idle either. Some were in the kitchen helping to steam cakes and make soup, while others were in the house helping Little Dog clean himself up, as well as Ergouzi, Daya, and Erya.

Although today's protagonist is a puppy, Er Gouzi and Da Ya Er Ya also have to dress up neatly.

As soon as the car stopped in Xiaowuwa's yard, village party secretary Feng Kai and team leader Zhang Tongfu came over to greet him.

"Yi Wazi, Xue Yatou, you haven't eaten yet. The crispy cake has been fried. Go and eat some!" Feng Kai said.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Is the puppy ready?"

"We're almost ready. All we have left is you two to take office!" Feng Kai said with a smile.

There is a local saying that the elder sister and brother-in-law welcome the bride, and the elder brother and the sister-in-law send off the bride.

Except for the four brothers and sisters, there are no other relatives in Xiaowuwa's family, so the important task of welcoming the bride this time falls on Li Yi and Jiang Xue.

"Hahaha, we don't have any problem, we just need to decorate the car!"

After saying that, Li Yi took out a ball of red silk from the trunk of the car, then quickly folded a big red flower out, and then hung the big red flower in front of the car.

Then, I found a few happy words that had been cut out in advance and pasted them on the car glass. A simple wedding car was now decorated.

At half past seven, the dining tent has been set up, and the golden and sticky fried cakes and tofu and vermicelli soup are also out of the pot.

Then, the loudspeaker in the village rang again, inviting young and old to come to the little puppy's house to eat crispy cakes.

Soon, people of all ages and families came to Little Dog's house one after another.
While everyone was eating cakes and chatting, the newly dressed puppy suddenly came to Li Yi and said, "Brother Yi, I want to tell you something!"

Li Yi immediately put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then followed the puppy out of the tent and outside the yard. "What's wrong?"

"Brother Yi, I want you to take me to the North Slope!" Xiao Xiaowa said.

“What are you going to do on the North Slope?”

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi suddenly thought that the graves of Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng were on the north slope.

Xiao Xiaowa went to Beipo before getting married, obviously because he wanted to talk to his third uncle and his third aunt.

After all, when a normal child gets married, he or she has to tell his parents before going out to get married: "Mom and dad, I'm going to get a wife!"

Then, under the instructions of his parents, he would leave for the woman's house.

But the third uncle and the third aunt were gone, so Little Dog had no choice but to go to the cemetery and call out.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's heart trembled slightly, and then said directly: "Okay, I'll drive!"

Soon, Li Yi called Zhang Ziqiang, and then drove the jeep toward the north slope of the village.

The north slope is not far from the village, less than two kilometers, and it only takes a few minutes to drive.

Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang did not get out of the car. After they dropped the puppy nearby, they drove the car not far away and waited, so as not to hit the third uncle and third aunt.

After the puppy got off the car, he first placed a square piece of red paper on each of the two graves, then wrapped red paper strips on the branches around the graves, hung firecrackers, and finally placed the memorial offerings. Taste.

After lighting incense and burning paper money, the little puppy knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed to his parents.

Seeing this scene, both Li Yi and Zhang Ziqiang felt a little depressed.

The two of them said nothing, but their eyes were firmly attracted to the little puppy not far away.

The puppy stayed in front of the third uncle and third aunt's graves for a short while, then got up and lit firecrackers.

After the crackling firecrackers, the little puppy suddenly shouted to the two piles of loess: "Dad, Mom, I'm going to get a wife!"

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to get a wife!"

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to get a wife!"

After shouting three times in a row, the little puppy looked at two more graves, and then walked towards the car.

Back in the car, Li Yi saw that Xiao Xiaowa's eyes were red. He had obviously cried just now!
Li Yi patted Xiao Xiaowa on the shoulder but said nothing.

Then he directly asked Zhang Ziqiang to start the car and drive towards the village.
When we got back to the village, it was almost nine o'clock.

At this time, the matchmaker Xipo and the wedding team were ready, and the wedding clothes, wedding wine, divorced meat and other things for the woman were all placed on the kang.

At this time, Matchmaker Zhang shouted to everyone: "The auspicious time has come, and the team to welcome the bride can set off!"

Then, Feng Kai, the chief manager of the wedding (Dai Dong), said immediately: "The auspicious time has arrived. The groom comes forward, and the other people waiting to greet the bride line up after him. Everyone takes something and is ready to go!"

Soon, the team to welcome the bride was all ready.

Then suddenly there were several loud firecrackers outside, and then there was another burst of crackling firecrackers.

After the cannon fired, Feng Kai shouted loudly: "Let's go!"

Following Feng Kai's order, Little Dog took the lead, strode out of the main room, and then led a group of wedding receptionists towards the wedding car.
