More than a week before the Mid-Autumn Festival, my father, who had not come to the city for a long time, suddenly rode a big "golden deer" on the 10th day of the salary, and brought me a message: Ergoudan is going to get married next week. When I reluctantly handed over the monthly salary to him, my father waved his hand: "You can keep the flowers yourself."

Although I haven't paid money to my family for several months, my father's attitude still surprised me: "I'll leave five dollars to you. Don't you still want to build a house? I'll pay the money in the future."

My father didn't look at me, but looked ahead with empty eyes: "It's enough for the money to build a house at home and your mother to work harder. Keep your salary for yourself. It seems that you don't plan to find it in your hometown. It's not easy to marry a wife in the city."

"I don't care if she is from the city or the countryside? I didn't want to get married at all." I muttered a little guiltyly.

"Ergoudan is about to get married. Next year, you will be holding the children. You don't even look for someone. Since you don't like someone from your hometown, just look for one in the city. Just live a life. Do you think you can really find a fairy?" Dad said something in his words and snorted dissatisfiedly.

The day after my father left, a new thing sensationalized the entire factory. A not-stunningly beautiful wheel blocker in the weaving workshop and her husband, both received a belated notice from the Municipal Normal University. This was the first time that our yarn mill had passed the college entrance examination after the country resumed the college entrance examination. It is said that the couple are both old junior high school students and have always had a dream of college. In the past two years, the couple took all their time to study hard and finally achieved the right result.

"I heard that the couple was admitted to university and the factory was unwilling to let it go?" Master Liu couldn't help but sigh when he was in the class meeting.

"The couple also had the perseverance and found the provincial admissions office. Later, Mayor Yuan, who was in charge of education in the region, personally asked, and finally solved the problem." Captain Xia added that as a naval submarine troop, he respected knowledge very much.

"Hey, no matter what, they have reached a good time. If I were still young now, I would also go to review the college entrance examination and go back to my hometown south after graduation." Master Liu responded enviously.

"We don't have a chance, Xiao Wu, you are all young, go and have a good tutoring, maybe there will be a chance." Captain Xia swept around everyone and turned his eyes to me.

"I haven't finished my second year of junior high school, how could I go to college?" Did my face suddenly turn red to my ears, and I quickly lowered my head.

After the meeting, I asked Squad Leader Xia for two days off. Because Ergoudan was going to get married, I should go and say goodbye to anything I said. In the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a little cool sooner or later. After calculating the day of the wedding, I rode back on Senior Brother Xiao Cai’s “permanent” early in the morning. The weather was clear and the autumn was clear and the weather was cool. I didn’t stop all the way. It was noon when I arrived home.

From the high canal dam, I went down to the entrance of the village, and I heard people shouting everywhere in the village, and gongs, drums, and suona resounded throughout the sky. When I pushed the "Permanently" through my yard and arrived at the door of Ergoudan's house, I saw five hand-held tractors wearing red and hanging colors, just opposite me.

"The bride is here-the little lady is here-"

The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded instantly, and I was a little at a loss. When I was stunned by the crowd, the former brigade accountant Siyan, who had two cigarettes in his ear, grabbed my arm through the crack.

"Oh--Nephew Daping, you're back, come and help me to carry the bride out of the sedan chair." Uncle Four-eyed bared his big yellow teeth and shouted into the door, "Second brother, your Daping is back, I'll let him carry the bride."

I tied the car at the door and followed Uncle Siyan to the first tractor. Someone helped the new wife, wearing a red-headed squid, over there. Siyan picked up the men of several uncles and uncles and put them on my back.

"Oh, it's Daping."

"Daping is back."

"Da Ping is just right to bear his new wife, and she has status and status. Where can I find such a brother-in-law?"

"That's right, Ergoudan has no brothers. Now Daping is here to help. He is so handsome that his life will definitely flourish in the future."

It is our local custom to carry my sister-in-law in the door. I carried my new wife to the yard and heard all the comments about myself. The bride's slightly raised belly was pressed against my waist. I carried her two thick legs, and in front of everyone, my face almost blushed to my ears.

"Okay, let it go." Dad was obviously the "master" of today's wedding. Seeing that I was carrying the bride and wanted to walk forward, he was busy instructing Ergoudan beside him, "Fenghai (Egoudan's name), come and take her new wife over and lead her to the main hall, ready to worship the world."

Amid the cheerful sound of the suona of the sounding team, I put down the bride in a daze. Ergoudan held the new wife's hand and turned to walk into the hall. I saw his mother, Widow Zhang's face was covered with red color, and she was sitting on a grand sage chair inside with a festive look on her face. This chair was moved by the Xiawuwa Farmers Association from the landlord's house in the neighboring village during the land reform. It was always placed in the brigade headquarters. Whoever had any fun and fun could use it, would lend it to someone.

"A handful of bran and dates, my daughter ran home." My mother took the village aunt and aunt, holding a large plate with her hands, filled with wheat bran, peanuts, chestnuts, and dried red dates. She sang while sprinkling on the bride and groom. This is called Safu for us (the homophonic to Safu for Safu).

Then we started to worship the world, the parents, and the couple bowed each other. After the ceremony, we entered the bridal chamber. The banquet was borrowed from our yard next door. As soon as the procedure was completed, the crowd that had been in urgent need of waiting for a long time rushed out of the door. I was about to follow the crowd, but my mother caught me.

"Daping, don't leave, help my mother go to "warm the quilt" for Feng Hai couple."

I followed my mother into Ergoudan's room in the east. It was snow-white with new lime. The windows were covered with red and happy words, and there was no longer the fishy smell of the past. On a newly made jujube wood bed, the "four shops and four covers" of the bride's dowry were neatly marked. People in the room hugged Ergoudan and his new wife stood beside the bed. This was the first time I saw this woman in Shandong. Her skin was healthy, wheat-colored, and her eyebrows were quite smooth.

My mother directed the four sisters-in-laws to start "warming the quilt". First, she had to lay the first floor of mattress. Each of them stretched four corners. First, she looked for directions, and determined which side was east and west, and then went east and west at the same time, shouting in her mouth: "Win the east, swing the west, and there are a large group of daughters and sons--"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, my mother scattered the prepared dates, chestnuts, peanuts and other things on the bed, wishing the newcomer a child early and a child early, and "flowers" were born, and she shouted: "One hand, another hand, a son enjoys glory-"

Next is the second floor of mattress, the second floor of quilt, and the mother shouted again, "Everything is swung, the west is a round, a large group of daughters and sons--"

Everyone responded: "When you are being quipped, you will have a son to be a high-ranking official-"

Put all four beds and four covers onto the bed. Everyone asked me to hold a red pot in my hand, and sit on the soft quilt with another little boy of the same age. Because the quilt is too soft, I fell into it as soon as I sat down. The little boy probably had training. He grabbed the coins on the basin in my hand, shaking the basin while shouting: "Boluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluoluo

Everyone laughed and shouted: "Do it again!"

The little boy was shy and hung his eyelids and repeated it several times, his voice getting weaker and weaker. I couldn't help but shout: "Bolu, you have your son, I have your nephew--"

Everyone laughed over, and Ergoudan also smiled with a big mouth. His new wife blushed at this time, and quickly took a red envelope and stuffed it into the child's pocket. I rolled off the bed.

Wen Wan quilt, my mother and everyone took the opportunity to put 30 yuan into Ergoudan's hand. Ergoudan refused: "Your family's gift has been collected, and the family cannot give two gifts."

"This is my wish to you and my sister-in-law. Congratulations to you on your wedding, it has nothing to do with the gift." I lie in Ergoudan's ear and said.

Ergoudan stopped refusing after hearing what I said and secretly handed it over to the new wife beside her. She hurriedly tucked it into her clothes happily.

On an autumn night, the sky is high and the dew is thick, and a crescent moon is quietly hanging in the southwest horizon. The cold moonlight shines in the yard, the few barkings of dogs in the distance, and the few gusts of grasshoppers in the corner of the wall add to the tranquility of the rural night. The noise and noise of the hustle and bustle have been noisy all day. At this time, I sat in the yard and looked at the dark Milky Way above my head, and my mood was still difficult to calm down.

"Daping, it's dewy outside, go into the house." My mother walked out of the main hall and called me.

"I'm not sleepy. You've been tired for a day. Let's go to bed first. I'll go into the house later." I turned around and responded.

"Daping, is there any girl you like in the city?" My mother walked over gently and sat beside me.

"Mom, it's still too early for me to get married. I want to read more books and do more interesting things while I'm young, so as to avoid regrets when I get old." The first time I said something I've been thinking about in my heart for the past few days.

"You have entered the city and are very worried. This mother can understand, but no matter what, marrying a wife and having children is still the biggest thing in life. Your Wu family has been passed down for three generations by you, alas..."

In the following time, my mother and I didn't talk anymore. We looked at the orchid sky and quietly thought about our own thoughts.
