Chapter 147 Ah Zheng’s Marriage

The next day, the 28th of the lunar calendar, was Azheng's wedding day. Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning and went to his house.

His door was bustling with people. His mother, wearing a red flower on her head, happily mixed the wedding candies, melon seeds, and peanuts into a big bag, which she would share with the neighbors later. There are also children who come to please and eat sweets.

After looking around, I found Azheng's man. He was unpacking cigarettes. As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately handed over a pack of cigarettes.

Ye Yaodong happily took it, "How do you feel about being the groom's official?"

"I don't know what other feelings I have. Anyway, receiving the red envelopes is quite enjoyable. It's good to have more sisters, hahaha~" He smiled and patted the two pockets of his tunic suit on his chest. They were filled with red envelopes and were bulging. .

"Indeed, why don't I have a sister? My two sisters are not married yet, which is a pity." A Guang looked on with a bit of envy.

The red envelope on Ah Zheng's chest is called a pocket-pressing red envelope. If you have sisters at home and are married, in addition to the normal wedding wine red envelope, you also need to pack this pocket-pressing red envelope, and the amount of this red envelope will not be small.

"When will the sedan and horses be delivered?"

Their wedding custom here is to walk for those who are close, and ride in a sedan for those who are farther away. In recent years, many young people have chosen to use tractors to welcome their brides, but the bride's family still chooses to ride in a sedan.

"Is it almost there? It's okay. It's still early. You go in and have a snack of two poached eggs."

"Okay, okay~ let's go eat poached eggs first."

For those relatives and friends who come to help, the host family will cook a pair of poached eggs in sugar water with dried longan inside, which is very sweet.

The dining table in the house was full of people, so they each stood outside with a bowl and ate while chatting.

It was almost seven o'clock before the sedan chair and horse were delivered.

Azheng's mother came up with joy and gave a red envelope to each of the horse master and the four bearers, and then gave a red envelope to each of them. This was a red envelope to help welcome the bride.

On the wedding day, a large number of red envelopes must be given out. Even the chef, kitchen helper, bride, and anyone who helps out must give red envelopes.

Everything was arranged in Azheng's house yesterday. Now all he has to do is wait for the time to come and pick up the bride.

Ye Yaodong and the others carried a red bag of firecrackers and waited for the time to start setting off before the wedding team set off.

The bride lives in nearby Ganxi Village, a village just past Dongqiao Village and not far away.

Xi Niang walked beside the sedan, beating gongs and drums to welcome the bride as she walked, and they set off firecrackers along the way. When someone stopped the bride on the road, each one would grab a handful of melon seeds and wedding candies, and everyone would let them go.

But sometimes we encounter things that are unclear to our minds.

At this time, as soon as the team reached the entrance of the village, they encountered two gangsters who blocked the road and refused to leave. They insisted on cigarettes and would not leave unless they were given cigarettes.

Ye Yaodong was the one who led the way to set off firecrackers today. Seeing that it was Xu Laifu again, he was already cursing in his heart, but he still had to smile on his face.

"Brother, if you eat a handful of candies and sweeten your mouth, the joy of the villagers will be enough. We still have to rush to pick up the bride, so we can give some face to you?"

"I give you face, who gives me face? If you are in a hurry, just give us cigarettes. If you take the cigarettes, we will get out of the way."

"That's it, give each person a pack of cigarettes and we'll get out of the way."

What's more respectable than toys? Ye Yaodong slashed him several times with the knife.

Xiaoxiao on the side said softly: "Here, give each person a pack of friendship cigarettes, just treat them like beggars, don't waste time."

"The cigarettes are kept at Fatty's place."

The fat man also glared at these two guys. Since they had too many things to do, he took out two packs of Friendship cigarettes and each of them threw a pack over, "Okay, get out of the way!"

Xu Laifu weighed the cigarettes in his hand, and happily wanted to leave, but was stopped by his friend beside him, "Wait a minute, you want to send us away with a pack of friendship cigarettes costing four to five cents? No way, just take one. Bao Chengfeng is here, give it to Chengfeng and then we can leave."

Xu Laifu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, you are right, if you want to ride the wind, give it to the wind...I...I...we will leave..."

Looking at their cannibalistic looks on the other side, he spoke softer and softer, and the more he spoke, the more cowardly he became...

"That's almost it. Don't leave it here to get in the way, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, otherwise you just don't go there. If you can't afford it, don't get married."

Before Ye Yaodong finished speaking, the friend next to Xu Laifu shook his feet and took over the words nonchalantly.

You can't scold someone even on a happy day.

Azheng, who was sitting on the horse, climbed down depressedly, and stepped forward directly and said: "That's almost enough. I dare to come to trouble me when I get married today. When I get married, I want you to look good!"

"We don't want to cause any trouble for you. Just give us the cigarettes and leave naturally."

"Didn't I already give it to you?"

"The quality of Youyi cigarettes is so low, only four or five cents a pack, how can you be so embarrassed to buy them?"

He's so stupid... Looking at that look of needing a beating, the brothers felt a little itchy.

Xu Laifu looked at their unkind looks and pulled his friend's sleeve timidly, "Aqiang, why don't you forget it?"

"What are you afraid of? How can they beat us on this happy day? To settle the score later? It's just a pack of cigarettes, is that all?"

"Keep your word, give each person a bag to ride the wind, and you will get out of the way."

"Of course, of course."

Azheng impatiently found two packets of Chengfeng and threw them over. After the two people took the cigarettes, they ran away happily.

Xiaoxiao stared at their backs, "My hands are so itchy when I see them, I really want to grab them and give them a beating!"

A Guang also responded: "Me too, the last time I was beaten lightly."

Ye Yaodong was also depressed, "I'll take you to hunt ghosts tonight!"

"What the hell?" Everyone looked at him confused.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's go first and don't waste time."

Ah Zheng climbed on the horse again, Ah Guang went to the middle of the team to set off firecrackers, and Xiao Xiao went to the back of the team to set off firecrackers. The team moved forward as usual. The fat man came over curiously and asked, "What did you just say about catching ghosts?"

"My network has been stolen several times during this period, and others have also been stolen. I have a guess about who stole the network. I plan to catch him tonight. Do you want to come with me?"

"Who is it? Going to finish drinking? Are you going to go outside the pier to enjoy the cold breeze?"

"I must go out for a walk after a long table of drinks to see if I can bump into him. I'm not absolutely sure about this."

"Okay, just follow me out and have a look."

The rest of the way to the wedding went smoothly. Only when we were picking up the bride, the bridesmaid blocked the door and gave her a little trouble. Everyone did a few push-ups and was given a red envelope for opening the door. Then they went in and looked for the money for the embroidered shoes. It took half a day.

Everyone is familiar with the entire process, and those who have never been married have seen it many times.

After finally getting the bride into the sedan, everyone hurriedly walked back slowly.

On the way, we also met a few second-rate people who blocked the team, but compared to Xu Laifu and the other two, they were easy to deal with. Each of them was given a handful of wedding candies and a pack of Friendship cigarettes, and they left in a good mood.

The local wedding wine is served at noon. As soon as the bride receives it, she must first pay homage to the bride and then start the banquet directly after the blessing.

The main meal is at noon. After the main meal is finished and all the guests have left, the long table of wine will be served in the evening. The long table wine is drunk by the friends of the bride and groom.

During this period, the bride has to light cigarettes for the groom’s friends. As for how to make things difficult, it depends on whether these groomsmen have any conscience...

Ye Yaodong was not interested in this. He sat back and watched them one by one shaking their cigarettes for the bride to light. They refused to let the bride light at all. He was very happy...

But when it was his turn, he cooperated very well and let the bride light up her cigarette without making any difficulties, and just let her pass.

When other friends saw it, they all had objections and shouted: "Dongzi, why are you like this? Letting it go so easily makes us look particularly bad. Even if the bride scolds us, the bridesmaid must be scolding us in her heart."

"This way we can remember you and make a deep impression! Aren't you still single?"

"It seems to make sense."

"Grass...Dongzi obviously loves the beauty and cherishes the jade!"

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "Those who haven't studied for two days should also learn other people's idioms. Don't talk nonsense. This is Azheng's bride, and I also have a family."

"Then no wonder you are so fast, the iron pestle is ground into a needle."

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone burst into laughter. Ye Yaodong angrily kicked his friend who was speaking, "Get out of here."

"Oh~ so powerful!"

"Let you talk nonsense."

"Oh, don't talk about this. It's almost done. The rest of us should speed up. There will be a wedding ceremony later."

"Then just follow my example and hurry up when you need to!"

In their local bridal chamber, they only bothered the bride and groom, not the bridesmaids, and everyone was very conservative at this time, so they didn't go too far in the bridal chamber.

In the first round, they were served a glass of wine.

"Come on, come on, let's have a drink first."

"This Jiaobei wine is red in color and sweet in taste. It makes you feel good when you drink it!"

Everyone was booing and laughing.

The bride was holding the wine glass, a little shy and at a loss, but Ah Zheng was a shameless person, so he took her hand and drank it directly, which made her friends unhappy.

"Ah... We have to drink the wine at the same time. Why don't you drink first? Come again, come again, come again! We must drink together!"

"Yes, we must drink together."

At this time, the bride had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the glass of wine with her face flushed.

"Okay~" Everyone in the room cheered again.

"It's round two."

Aguang took a needle and thread and passed it through a little bit of flesh on the top of the red date, and then hung it in mid-air with the thread.

"Haha, eat red dates, I wish you a baby soon!"

The bride was even more embarrassed now. She looked at the red dates between the two of them and didn't dare to move.

Friends were all there, asking them to hurry up...

Ah Zheng shamelessly opened his mouth to bite it, but Ah Guang was very embarrassed. Just when he was about to touch the red dates, he lifted the thread up again, making him laugh and scold, "Wait for me, wait for you to get married. Let’s see if I don’t kill you.”

"Hehe~ I wish you had a baby soon, you should eat this red date first."

"Yes, yes, who didn't come here like this? Zheng, can you do it? You can't eat for half a day."

"Of course."

Ah Zheng was tortured so repeatedly that he almost vomited blood. Finally, a relative or friend saw the opportunity and stabbed Ah Guang. He turned around for no apparent reason, and then Ah Zheng, with quick eyesight and quick hands, bit down on the red date and brought it to the bride. The bride then turned red. There was also a bite on the face.

"Ah, who stabbed me?"

As soon as Ah Zheng bit the red date, he immediately sat up and wanted to kick everyone out, "Okay, okay, it's over, it's over..."

"Wait a minute...it's only been two rounds, there's still a third round..."

Relatives and friends who were watching the excitement also helped him drive away the people, "It's almost, it's almost, the bride is already shy..."

"Everyone is a three-wheeler...Azheng, you can't be special..."

While everyone was talking, they were pushed out. A Zheng quickly closed the door behind him and tied it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

A group of people were still talking there at the door, lingering and refusing to leave.

When Ye Yaodong saw that it was almost over, he patted Xiaoxiao and Aguang on Fatty's shoulders and motioned them to go out and talk.

Except for Fatty, they both don't know yet.

As soon as he went out, he mentioned to them the discovery of Awei's brother-in-law last night. Aguang immediately reacted quickly and said: "He must have stolen the net!"

Xiaoxiao also agreed, "Yes, you are so sneaky in the middle of the night. If you go to the beach to catch the sea, how can you come back halfway?"

Aguang asked again in confusion: "What are those people doing in Linji in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know, don't worry about him yet. It's not even 8 o'clock now. Let's go to Xu Laifu's house to have a look? Let the fat man call the door and see if he's at home? Let's forget it if he's at home. If he's not at home, he will definitely be there again. Went. He didn’t make it yesterday, so I think he will go again in the evening.”

No matter what Lin Jishang and the others were doing, there was no news in the village, so he just pretended that he didn't know anything. Anyway, he only heard about it in his previous life.

The little hand itched and said: "Go, I saw that guy in the morning and wanted to beat him up, but I was worried that I wouldn't get the chance. It's best not to be at home and we go to the dock to wait, or we can sail to the sea and get the stolen goods together. If caught, I’ll give him a fair and fair beating.”

Aguang shrugged, "Okay, I don't have any objection, it's nothing."

Although it is none of his business, his friends' business is naturally his business.

"Then go take a look first."

After the four people agreed, they walked out directly. Regardless of the people at the door of the new house who were still making noises, they were all kicked out. There was definitely no chance of entering the house again.
