Yang Dongxu had already gotten up when it was still dark, and Zhou Ya got up at the same time.
I'm going to pick up a bride this morning. There's no need to go there to pick up a kid like Wen Chen. Yang Dongxu has to go there in person. At the same time, Zhou Ya, the sister-in-law, wanted to pick up the car. When the bride came to the Yang family and got off the car, Zhou Ya needed to pick her up. Yang Dongxu, on the other hand, went to work with the team that picked up the bride.
Because Dong Yao had a dowry, the man had to go to many people to get the dowry back. In fact, according to normal customs, in addition to the many people on the man's side pulling in the dowry, there are also many people on the woman's side who come on carts to pull the dowry along with it.
At that time, the man's banquet will not only entertain the people from his own family who come to congratulate him, but also entertain the bride's family.
However, because Dong Yao is a daughter-in-law from out of town, the only people from her mother's family who came to accompany her parents were two best friends, Tong Yaya and Zhang Qian. When the time came, there would be too much room to sit at the entire table, and the two women would definitely not be able to work, so Only the man has to help with the dowry.
Of course, the people who work belong to the work. In addition to the people who work, there are also people who help to pick up the bride. This team is basically young people about the same age as Yang Dongjie.
Under normal circumstances, if there are any obstacles on the woman's side, they are responsible for charging in and clearing the obstacles so that the groom can pick up the bride smoothly.
With such a team, Yang Dongxu doesn't have to join in the fun, so he only needs to organize the workers to carry the dowry onto the car.
When the car arrived at the door, the door of the B&B had already been opened. The time for picking up relatives in Yangjiacun was relatively early. Dong Yao's parents obviously knew this, so they opened the door very early.
The reason why the wedding time is early is because there is a saying that early marriage brings good luck. If someone in the same village gets married or has a marriage ceremony on the same day, they all want to get married early. It is said that whichever family is earlier is more blessed.
In addition to this saying of the older generation, there is also the fact that when you get married in rural areas, you often drive across several villages across ten miles and eight townships.
As for the wedding convoy, it is easy for people from other villages to stop them and ask for cigarettes and wedding candies. If you meet someone who just wants to join in the fun, beg for some candies, and get a few packs of cigarettes to smoke, it's okay.
You're afraid of meeting those scoundrels who smoke a few cartons of cigarettes at the first glance, and you can't blush with others on the big day, or you really can't hold your anger and there are many conflicts, so it's better to get married as early as possible.
This way, you can pick up the bride before anyone else gets up. It will be much more peaceful on the road. The Yang family is obviously not getting married so early because they are afraid of encountering idiots blocking the road.
The reason why I got up so early to pick up a bride is because this is basically the rule here. The team that is afraid of stopping the pick-up will get up early and set off just like other pick-ups.
As soon as the car arrived at the door, Dong Yao's father came out to greet him, holding a cigarette in his hand. Yang Dongjie first called out "Dad" to say hello, and then led the team to pick up Dong Yao from the second floor.
Soon there was the sound of Yang Dongxu calling the door, and Tong Yaya and Zhang Qian shouting for red envelopes.
Smiling and looking at Hua Ma, Yang Dongxu lit the cigarette that Dong Yao handed over and held it in his hand, and called Xiao Wu and others to start working.
I don’t know how long these young people above have been making noise. They first loaded the furniture into the car and waited.
"Uncle, just rest, we can come." Seeing that Dong Yao's father also wanted to help carry things, Yang Dongxu said quickly.
"Why don't you go inside and have a glass of water before moving? This is really poor hospitality." Dong Yao's father said with a bit of remorse on his face.
Originally, I thought that I would not allow relatives and friends to come over. It would be more convenient to hold a banquet after Dong Yao comes back. This would also save everyone the hassle of going back and forth. If there are too many people here, the Yang family would have to arrange accommodation. It also causes trouble for the Yang family.
Now it seems that even if not all the relatives come, you should bring a few close relatives over, so that your daughter's wedding will be more lively. Not only will there be a few people from the groom's family to help entertain her. Right now, he and Dong Yao's mother are really busy here and outside.
"It's okay, uncle, we are all members of the same family, so don't talk about the two families. It is the Yang family's blessing that Dong Yao can marry into our Yang family. Don't worry about these trivial things. As long as Dong Jie and Dong Yao live happily in the future, The harmony and beauty are better than anything else." Yang Dongxu comforted him.
He could see that Dong Yao's parents were not only reluctant to marry their daughter, but also a little uneasy.
When Dong Yao told his parents how good the Yang family was, they were amazed, but they were just amazed. They were shocked that such a rich man's daughter could marry him.
But after coming to Yangjiacun, the extraordinaryness of the Yang family is no longer a verbal description, but a real feeling every moment. This made the parents truly feel what it means to be a wealthy family.
Although the Yang family is very low-key, and although the Yang family still lives in the countryside, the extraordinary surroundings of the Yang family in all aspects make them even more stressed.
"Yes, yes, as long as the two of them are harmonious and beautiful, they are better than anything else." Dong Yao's father kept nodding.
Yang Dongxu can somewhat understand this feeling. After all, the Dong family is not an ordinary high-ranking family compared to the Yang family. Since this natal family is so far away from here, the parents must be worried that their daughter will not suffer any injustice.
But fortunately, the Yang family has always been very kind, especially the uncle, aunt and father and mother. These days, they all feel that they are honest and sincere farmers. As the daughter's wedding is getting closer, Dong Yao's parents, who had become increasingly nervous and anxious, slowly calmed down.
But this calmness was suddenly stirred up again because today my daughter was getting married and became someone else's daughter-in-law.
Seeing Dong Yao's father like this, Yang Dongxu did not work with Xiao Wu and others, but was chatting with Dong Yao's father next to him.
Yang Dongxu didn't talk much at the wine table last night, he just listened. He mainly talked about his business or life in the magical city and other topics.
He also participated in bragging and spanking, so he started chatting with Dong Yao's father. Dong Yao's father was a technician in the factory, so Yang Dongxu brought up the topic of Dong Yao's father's work.
Under normal circumstances, when people talk about what they are good at, they will involuntarily become more confident and become more talkative.
So while chatting about Dong Yao's father, the words gradually increased, and Yang Dongxu, who had led the conversation at the beginning, began to talk less. The expression on Dong Yao's father's face began to become more and more natural, and finally there was a confident smile on his face, just like a master guiding his apprentice in the workshop.
The dowry and other things were basically moved quickly, and the fuss above was almost over.
Compared to other people who bumped into the door when picking up the bride, and the groom made things difficult for him in various ways while looking for shoes. The two girls, Tong Yaya and Zhang Qian, obviously had little resistance to the escort team led by Yang Dongjie. Coupled with Yang Dongxu's generous red envelope, Dong Yao was soon carried downstairs by Yang Dongjie.
When the bride was received, the wedding reception team naturally headed back home immediately. At the same time, except for Tong Yaya and Zhang Qian, the two people who were sending the bride off were following along.
Yang Dongxu also specially drove Dong Yao's parents with him, although according to the rules, the bride's parents were definitely not among the people seeing off the bride.
But Dong Yao is a foreigner, so he can't let Dong Yao's parents stay in a deserted B&B when the Yang family's place not far away is bustling, right?
And in modern times, such traditions are not rigid and must be strictly followed. Basically, it is the head of the family of the two parties who are getting married. They can discuss whatever is comfortable for them. As long as the general etiquette is correct, there is no need to abide by other details.
