Golden Fishing Village

Everything went on as usual at the wedding.

Ao Muyang felt a little sorry for Ao Wenchang.

Bao Yuteng had seen a girl with outstanding appearance, but her character was hard to flatter. Her family situation was very famous in the surrounding towns and villages. Marrying her would be like marrying a tigress.

As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Ao Wenchang did not insist on being with Su Xiuxiu at the beginning, but obeyed his parents' orders. Then he had to bear everything today, and his family had to bear it too. Who made them make such a choice?

Three villages have different customs, and ten miles have different customs. Hongyang has different customs in red and white weddings.

Among them, the customs in Qiantan Town are more traditional. According to the rules of the fishermen, the bride is picked up on the wedding day. Six cars form the wedding team, with a video car in front and a security car in the back, a total of eight cars.

Six cars are wedding cars for picking up the bride, which is a good number. Eight cars are the total number of the team, which is also a good number, so it is adopted by every household.

But when Ao Muyang went out in the morning, he saw ten cars lined up on the road in the village, including eight red BMWs.

He was very puzzled, and after arriving at the door, he asked: "Hey, Uncle Qianyao, your family is so grand, a total of ten cars?"

Ao Qianyao laughed and said: "Hey, it's nothing, it's just for the sake of appearance."

But Ao Wenchang couldn't laugh, he told the truth: "The Bao family wants these cars, they say that ordinary families have six cars, and their family needs at least eight cars to marry their daughter."

The people around him immediately curled their lips, and Ao Qianyao quickly said: "This, this is nothing, in the past, eight sedan chairs were used for weddings, and now there are no eight sedan chairs, so eight cars, haha, it looks good."

According to the custom, the groom sits in the first car, and the car behind is called Wangniangdan, which is used to hold the gifts prepared by the man when he arrives.

In the past, in traditional weddings, the bride was indeed picked up by a sedan chair. The Wangniangdan was carried by a sturdy man behind the bride. There was usually a piece of meat, two big fish, two pig heads, big steamed buns, five-color wedding cakes, five kinds of fruits, tobacco, alcohol, wedding candy, noodles, eggs, etc.

This time, the person in charge of the Wangniangdan was Ao Mudong, who was big and strong and was invited to help.

Discrimination Nowadays, cars are used in weddings, so there is no need for people to carry the burden. The reason why a sturdy man is still asked to take charge of this job is a kind of expectation, hoping that the groom can be so strong.

Similar to the Wangniangdan gift, there is a hen, because hens can lay eggs continuously, which means that the woman can have children continuously in the future.

Of course, because of the family planning policy, this has also changed. Now most families have only one child, and bringing a hen is just a habit.

Ao Mudong helped to move things, but the things were box after box. It looked like there was more than just a piece of meat, two fish, and two pig heads.

Someone opened the box and saw that there was a foam box filled with ice cubes, and there were several layers of yellow croakers inside. It looked like there were ten of them!

The villagers didn't understand and asked Ao Qianyao, "Are you too proud? We can't see the things in Wangniang's basket. They are all goods in the shadows. Do you need to prepare so much?"

Ao Qianyao smiled awkwardly and told the real reason: "The woman's family asked for it."

Ao Mudong was suddenly a little angry: "Then your family agreed to it? Uncle Qianyao, you are usually a smart person in the village. Why did you negotiate the conditions for your son to marry a wife like this?"

Ao Qianyao couldn't laugh out loud, and his expression was very ugly.

Ao Muyang pushed Ao Mudong and said, "Do your job, don't talk too much."

The videographer was preparing to record and take pictures. As the best man, he had to cooperate with the groom to make some poses.

When they were alone, Ao Wenchang suddenly said, "Actually, Wang Niang prepared these things last night. The Bao family called us last night and said that they had not discussed enough before, so they asked us to prepare two more."

Ao Muyang felt uncomfortable and said, "Did your family agree?"

Ao Wenchang sneered, "We are getting married the next day. What can we do if we don't agree?"

Ao Muyang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't get angry. Today is your day after all. Let's go."

The sound of firecrackers rang out, and the villagers came to the door to join in the fun. Some brought their children and they would distribute wedding candies later.

The Bao family was in the town. The convoy operated on the rugged mountain road and finally entered the town.

Ao Muyang thought the car would drive directly to the door of the Bao family, but the first car circled around the town.

This puzzled him, so he asked the driver: "Brother, what's going on? Why are you still circling outside?"

The driver was also puzzled: "I don't know. Just now the captain told us to follow him. It seems that the girl's family asked for it. He mentioned that the girl's family has a lot of things to do, and asked them to circle around the town a few times. They can't enter the house until the auspicious time."

Ao Muyang frowned. It is understandable to choose an auspicious time to enter the house, but shouldn't this be the time that should be discussed in advance? What's the matter with circling around the girl's door when they arrive at the door of the girl's house temporarily?

The convoy circled around the town five or six times, attracting many families to come out and see.

In this way, Ao Muyang vaguely understood what the Bao family meant. They just wanted to save face and let everyone in the town know that their family was going to marry their daughter.

The convoy finally stopped at the door of the Bao family. The Bao family was well-off and had a small building in the town, but the area of ​​the small building was not large. There were less than five rooms on the two floors. The space was very small and it was not as comfortable as the big tile house.

However, living in a building in the town is definitely better than living in a big tiled house in the village.

There are two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the small building, and the word "happiness" is posted on the door, which looks very festive.

Ao Muyang got off the car first to help Ao Wenchang open the door. Ao Wenchang looked very ugly, and his eyes were bloodshot.

This scared him and he whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

Ao Wenchang smiled reluctantly, "Brother Yang, I really trouble you this time. If anything happens later, please bear with me. I'm sorry for you."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Hey, don't worry, I have a good temper. I will cooperate with the woman in any way she wants. You should be more upright and let's go."

Ever since he took Ao Wenchang on the boat to go out to sea, Ao Wenchang has always called him Dragon Head. This time he suddenly called him Brother Yang, which made Ao Muyang feel something was wrong.

After they got off the car, the driver of the first car also got off the car, and then waved his hand to call a group of buddies together, and they began to mutter.

You have to give a red envelope when you enter the house. This is called "knocking on the door with a red envelope". It is also a custom of fishermen. There is a saying in the local area: when the sedan chair arrives at the door, it still owes a boat coin.

In the past, when a girl got married, she had a distant relationship with her parents' family. Her parents could not marry off the girl they raised for nothing, so they had to ask for a gift.

This "boat coin" is also part of the gift. "Coin" means money, which can be understood as money to buy a boat. This part of the money can allow the girl to build a small fishing boat.

The red envelope for knocking on the door is agreed upon by both parties. When Ao Wenchang arrived at the door, a relative of the Bao family blocked the door and said, "Boy, give me the red envelope!"
