Chapter 802 Marriage Part 2
Yangjia Village, which was like a big market, reached a climax as the wedding car returned. Originally, the streets would only become lively after 9 am when the rural market was held.
Now, it was only a little after 7 am and the whole street was crowded. Fortunately, there were enough people in Yangjia Village, and the shop owners on the street came out to help maintain order. The wedding car drove smoothly through the crowded crowd from all the villages in the area, as if everyone had brought their families to watch the excitement and drove to Yang's house.
Yang's house does not refer to the old house of Yang Dongxu's family, but the old houses of all the people with the surname Yang in the whole village. In the past, the model of building houses on rural homesteads was like digging trenches. A trench was dug out and a piece of land was enclosed in the middle, leaving only one intersection for entry and exit. A large family or a person with the same surname built a house on the enclosed land.
Smaller old houses housed six or seven households, each with its own house and courtyard, and larger houses could easily house dozens of households.
Because of the market in Yangjia Village, the residents of the old houses were basically moved out, and the place was definitely large enough. Originally, Yang Dongxu wanted to decorate his house near the street, that is, the two-story building.
He and Zhou Ya are not at home all year round, so it is obviously a waste to build a separate house. But Yang's father, mother, or the whole family did not support his point of view. The consumption concept of rural people is to use it later, but all aspects must be prepared.
So after knowing that persuasion is useless, I thought it would be nice to live at home for a period of time every year. So I called a designer from Hurricane Architecture directly, combined the classical Hui style of architecture with the current popular elements of architecture, and bought the entire old house's homestead, so that the designer can build on it.
Then a special construction team was stationed in the village for construction, and the foundation, road leveling, and garden design were basically started by colleagues. After the first floor was built, the second floor began to be built, and the first floor had already begun to prepare for decoration.
In this way, it took three months to complete the construction of the new house. The building materials used are all environmentally friendly materials and environmentally friendly paints, but even so, it still takes half a month to ventilate after it is built, so there is no problem moving in now.
There were many people on the street, and there were many people watching the excitement at the old house, although it was winter and the greening could not be done. But the combination of Hui-style architecture and some modern fashion elements is really rare in this era.
First, a memorial archway made entirely of marble carvings was erected at the intersection of the leveled road, with the two characters [Yang's House] written on it, which was very imposing.
Although Yang Dongxu did not want any walls or Su's gardens, the gatehouse and hall-style house configuration in Hui-style architecture. The very prominent large ridge kiss, flying chairs and lattice window style really opened everyone's eyes.
Although everyone is from Anhui Province, and Hui-style architecture is the representative of Anhui Province, Hui-style architecture is mainly concentrated in Huizhou, as well as Jinhua in western Zhejiang and other places, which is a bit far from Chengwang City.
In addition, people now see high-rise buildings when they go out to work, and such classical and beautiful buildings are the first time they have seen them. What's more, the classics also contain modern fashion elements, such as the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor near the balcony, which makes people feel very upscale.
However, although the new house is mainly in the Huizhou style, some of it has been abandoned. For example, Yang Dongxu did not want the high walls and deep houses of Huizhou architecture.
He did not want to feel like living in a cage every day, so this new house is semi-open, that is, except for the trenches that are deepened around it, which are similar to the moat, the new house has no walls.
There are no rocks or water around the house, but only a small pond for planting lotus. Most of the open space is not even paved with cement roads. Yang Dongxu plans to plant some lawns in spring.
In addition to the lawn, he also plans to plant some lush trees. In short, although he bought all the land of the old house, he does not intend to make it his own private space.
In addition to housing, he hopes that these places outside can become a place for the village to cool off in summer. This is also the reason why he mainly chooses lush trees instead of some landscape trees and most of the middle and upper flowers and plants.
The wedding car drove into the old house. Yang Dongxu led the wedding silk with a big red flower in the middle. After the car was found, he entered the house and led Zhou Ya across the fire basin, then knelt down in the hall and began to bow and salute.
After a series of etiquette, Zhou Ya was sent to the bridal chamber, and Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief. Then the big truck with the dowry drove in, and a large group of people from the village came to help start arranging the furniture.
In the new house, except for some furniture in the hall, the big bed in the master bedroom, and a few decorative cabinets, the rest of the house was empty, without even a stool.
So so many dowries were loaded in and filled the empty house instantly, making the whole house lively and more lively.
The house was lively inside and outside. A group of people lay on the railings, and some even ran into the bamboo forest about five meters wide outside the house, or climbed directly on the tree to look inside.
Fortunately, when Yang Dongxu deepened the trench to prepare for fish farming, he installed a fence around the outside to prevent the children from getting in danger. Otherwise, so many people would have been squeezed into the ditch outside the house.
After the ceremony, the feast was naturally served, but the feast was not placed in the new house, but in the threshing ground and granary in the village. Today was sunny, and the fence outside was fenced off so there was no wind inside.
Coupled with the dozens of large stoves and large pots cooking hot dishes lined up in a row, it feels warm instead of cold. The host and guest please come and sit in the room. This is an etiquette that cannot be lost.
There were about fifty tables of running tables on the threshing floor. In fact, today is not the first time the banquet was held, it was already served yesterday. Large families in rural areas usually provide three meals for weddings.
Eat one meal the first night, then have another meal the next morning when you receive the bride, and have another big meal at noon for the main banquet. Yang's mother, who lives a frugal life, was very proud this time. She waved her hand and said that instead of eating three meals, she would eat for three days.
Two days before the wedding, a banquet was set out to invite relatives, friends, or neighbors who came to help with the ceremony. Yesterday, people from the village began to come over to eat at the running water banquet.
Today is the wedding day, anyone can come and have a meal as long as they come to send blessings and don't want to follow the ceremony. Perhaps this was one of the factors why Yangjiacun was almost overcrowded.
There are opera troupes, lion dance teams and acrobatic troupes that are already very eye-catching. It is not always so lively during a party, not to mention that you can have a free meal. This attraction is definitely just right.
But it was precisely because of this good time that so many people from ten villages and eight villages were attracted, Yang Dongxu had been worried about whether there would be any trouble. After all, he was frightened when he thought of some aunts who would act like bandits when they heard it was free.
But in fact, his worries were unnecessary. The people from Shiliba Village who came first were all nearby villagers. Although the big fish and meat on the table made them very greedy, they all wanted to rush to the front and eat a big meal in advance, so as not to run out of food later.
But because people in Shiliba Village are almost all relatives, you can basically find a familiar friend or relative by just looking for someone in the village and asking a few people.
And if we let the robbery go at this time, it would undoubtedly bring shame to our village. Nowadays, the atmosphere in rural areas is not bad. There are some spoiled women and there are many who take advantage of them. But if you do something embarrassing, you will definitely get poked in the back.
Moreover, the Yang family can be said to be the shadow of the famous tree of human life. One by one, many people are curious about the Yang family, but they can't help but also be a little afraid.
Although the Yang family has never done evil and is very kind, even the unreliable second-rate Shengli has become more disciplined in doing things in recent years.
But if you make trouble at someone's wedding banquet, what's the difference between that and hitting someone in the face? The Yang family does not do evil, but some people who do evil are directly sent to prison and eat peanuts to understand?
There was something about growing apples in the town before, and there seemed to be something about a high-ranking official in Chengwang City a long time ago. In short, the Yang family does not cause trouble, but they are never afraid of trouble, and as long as they take action, no matter who you are, they will never lose.
Therefore, coupled with this fear, almost all rural people are used to such occasions, such as wedding banquets, which are basically attended by relatives and friends. I have never encountered anyone like the Yang family who openly eats the flowing water banquet.
But for Bai Shier, eight villages from ten miles away burned plain paper together, and ate the same kind of running water mat. In all these years, no one dared to mess around at the funeral. If someone dares to mess around and be beaten to death on the spot, no one will dare to stand up and speak out.
So for all these reasons, maybe some women took advantage of the wedding candies and got a few extra bags. Everyone basically followed the rules during the meal. Anyway, as long as there were enough people at the table, the food would be served directly.
After most of them watched the excitement in the worship hall, they started to play on the market, watching monkey performers and people walking on stilts. When you get tired of playing, run to the threshing floor. When you see a lot of people at the table, sit down and join in to eat.
Moreover, the belly with big fish and meat is limited. Basically, even a big eater will not be able to fit anything in after eating two meals, and then he will continue to wander on the street without stopping.
Yang Dongxu didn't care about the flowing water mat. He mainly walked around the house on his street and the neighboring houses. Arrangements were made for his friends and Zhou Ya's friends. None of these friends' parents knew each other, and the people in Yangjiacun were not familiar with them either. He could only come to see who else had not been arranged, and was left aside as a passerby.
As soon as they arranged their friends here, Xiao Wu hurried over: "Xu Zi, hurry up and pick me up. There are people from the city, and they said there are leaders from the province."
Xiao Wu's voice was loud, and those who heard it looked at Yang Dongxu in disbelief, the big leader of the province. Then they couldn't help but turn their heads and look towards the entrance of the village. I don't know who made the move first, and made a way without anyone's command.
Seeing the car coming from the end of the crowd that was getting out of the way, Yang Dongxu's stiff face with a smile showed no change in expression, but he muttered in his heart: "Isn't this adding to the chaos?"
