At this time, Xiang's mother saw that Xiang Guoqiang was going to make the bed by herself. She quickly stopped his hand, and then asked an old aunt with face and luck from the team to help make the bed.

So, where did Xiang go? Why haven't you seen it? Did you really hide because you were a widow and were afraid of bad luck, brother and daughter-in-law?

No.

Xiang's sister-in-law Ma Xiuying doesn't have such a good heart!

She was standing on a high bench in her room, facing the wall, with her back and ass to the door.

What is she doing?

This is because someone said to her in advance: when your brother and daughter-in-law enter the door, you should run in front of her, and then run into your house, stand on the high bench facing the wall, don't look at the door, so that you won't be surpassed by her in the future, and you will always be one head taller than her.

It turned out that she did this to gain the upper hand and always live better than her brother and daughter-in-law!

Is this superstition or psychological effect?

Only later... Wait and see.

Now that the bride has entered the door, the red rope will be pulled up. The red rope is to show guest gifts other than cash.

As a result, there are a wide range of drying ropes in the lobby and yard, like today's supermarkets, including quilt covers, cloth, pillow cases, pillow towels, face washing handkerchiefs, and even Ninon socks.

These are gifts from visitors.

Don't be surprised, in this era of scarcity of materials, these gifts are very good, especially when people send a quilt or a few feet of cloth, it's a big gift.

The gifts placed in the new house are things that can't be displayed on the drying rope, such as washbasins and thermoss. Several washbasins were stacked on the cabinet of the new house, and several thermos bottles were placed on the ground.

This approach is not only to thank the gift givers in the form of display, but also to show visitors how many gifts the family has received and how much they have received, or it is a kind of show off.

Ostentation, whether it is the poor or the rich, the old era or the new era, will inevitably be put on display.

Next, dinner began, basically entertaining people who helped, and these helping families waited for notice at home and couldn't take the initiative to arrive. At this time, someone will order dinner from door to door according to the list. When called, you need to say, "you see, I've eaten, so I won't go?" To show reserve, in fact, two polite sentences still came to dinner.

The dishes on the dinner table are relatively simple. Generally, there are four dishes in a table: a plate of braised eggplant, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of leftover cooking, a plate of fried meat with leek, and then the rice is full. Those men who drink will have a plate of fried peanuts on the table.

The men who had been helping for a day began to drink the loose wine from the supply and marketing cooperatives with respect to each other, accompanied by the sound of "plum blossom three, six, six, ten America".

After about eight o'clock, the dinner was basically over, and the team dispersed, leaving the host and the cook busy preparing tomorrow's banquet. Generally, the dishes and cold dishes at tomorrow's wedding banquet should be fully prepared tonight. The steamed dishes should also be stacked and put on the big pot set up in the yard. They can only be steamed at dawn tomorrow morning.

Jia Ermei is very curious about the Baba banquet, but as a bride, she can't help casually. Because she hasn't been officially married yet, she has to remain reserved. She doesn't even go out in her new house. She brings her dinner to Guoqiang's new house.
