The Local Lazy Man System

May 12th, today is Xiao Si'er's engagement day.

In Yangping County, there is such a custom that men and women get engaged first, go through the bride price, and then get married. However, it is now simpler than before. Now as long as both parents have negotiated and agreed, the two steps of marriage and bride price can be combined in one step.

Generally, the husband’s parent association finds a fortune-teller, and chooses an auspicious day to have a betrothal gift. The contents of the betrothal gift prepared by the man’s home include:

Two "Engagement Letters", "Engagement Letters" indicate the names of the betrothed person, witnesses, the parents of the man and woman, the date of birth of the man and woman, the date of birthday, the signatures of the parents of the man and woman, the date of engagement, etc., in this way, On the day of the engagement, the woman keeps one copy and the man keeps one copy. This means that both men and women hold one copy.

The items include: two red dates, two chestnuts, meaning Zao Lizi, ten circles of red thread, a needle on each end of the red thread, a bag of hair noodle primer, and a bag of salt, which means perfection and a thousand miles of marriage. Give a belt as a gift, which means a belt (that is, children).

The most important thing is that the man prepares the money for the woman. As for the amount of money, it depends on the man’s economic strength. If the economic strength is strong, you can give more, and if the economic strength is not strong, you can give less.

Of course, this also depends on the opinions of the women's parents. Some women's parents are unreasonable, and they are asking for everything.

Due to the wages, it is not uncommon for the parents of both males and females to quarrel. Many men and women are also unable to get married because of the wages.

As for the woman, after receiving the man's things from the matchmaker, she first fills in the "Entry Form", and then prepares a copy of the gift to the man by giving the man the gift of a thousand miles of marriage.

For the money sent by the man, a certain amount must be rebated. The amount of the rebate depends on the situation of the woman. Some rebates are 10,000, some are 8,000, some are 6,000, and of course some don’t. All rebates are given back to the man and reserved for the man to buy a house for marriage and other purposes.

Elsewhere, Ye Yaorong didn’t know. In Ye Yaorong’s hometown, it’s not good for the bride price to be rebated. Even if you rebate a few hundred, it’s just that you’ll be gossiped. If you don’t give it back, the man’s parent Will not agree, the marriage will not be concluded.

The engagement banquet is set up on both sides of the banquet, and the woman also has to set up a few banquet tables, invite the new aunt and the matchmaker, and give the matchmaker a big red envelope, which is his hard expense.

After all, before the wedding banquet for both men and women, the parents of both men and women communicated with each other's parents through a matchmaker. Any dissatisfaction and requirements are all communicated through the matchmaker. There are very few parents of both men and women. Directly communicated.

Therefore, matchmakers in rural areas are very important. For a marriage, a matchmaker usually has to have a child with the man married to the woman. Before that, the matchmaker still has to coordinate the issues between the man and the woman.

Of course, this is only a ceremony at the woman's house, and the man's house also has a ceremony, but the engagement ceremony for the man's house must be placed behind the woman's ceremony.

Usually the woman holds a banquet at noon and the man holds a banquet at night.

The engagement ceremony at the man’s house is relatively simple. There are not so many, so complicated ceremonies. It is just to have a few tables of wine and invite some relatives, friends and classmates of the man to drink. Of course, the matchmaker still has to ask for it, and the man has to give it too. Thank you for giving a big red envelope to the matchmaker.

After the man’s engagement wine is drunk, it means that the engagement ceremony is completed. In the future, the man and woman are already married and can live together without scruples. Generally, after the engagement, the woman will live in the man’s house, which is already considered the man’s house. Daughter-in-law.

In the eyes of rural people, the engagement ceremony is more symbolic than receiving the "red book" from the government department. If you don't have an engagement or wedding banquet, you just received the "red book", which means that it is legal for both men and women to sleep together. People in the countryside will not recognize the relationship between the husband and the wife, and there will be many rumors in the countryside.

Yesterday, Xiao Si’er’s mother came to Ye Yaorong and wanted to ask Ye Yaorong to accompany Xiao Si’er to the woman’s bridegroom. This is a continuation of the old tradition. When the man and woman were engaged in the past, the man had to have someone to carry a burden. They are all engaged objects.

The people who carry the burden are all the same generation of the engaged young man, usually brothers, cousins, cousins, and Ming brothers (that is, very good friends who grew up with them).

In the past, the rural areas were poor and people didn't have any private cars. The people who carried this burden were very hardworking, all the way from the man's house to the woman's house.

But now that the economy is developed, many people have private cars. They drive the car directly to the woman’s house, and then take the burden to the woman’s house. There are not a few steps, and they can get two big red envelopes. Many people are still willing made.

There are many brothers in the Xiaosi'er family, but as soon as Xiaosi'er's parents totaled, they asked Ye Yaorong to be the bearer. The main reason is that Ye Yaorong is now a celebrity and very prestigious in the nearby towns and villages.

Ye Yaorong accompanies Xiao Si'er to the woman's house, which has the face and can suppress the scene, so that the woman's family dare not look down on her side.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Yaorong drove the Audi Q7 to Xiaosi'er's house. Today, he was going to drive the Audi Q7 to the woman's house to give a gift.

In Yangping County, whether it's an engagement or a marriage, people are good at face. The better you drive to the woman's house, the more face the woman's family feels.

The woman’s family is not afraid of the man’s showing off, but the man’s family is not showing off.

As for whether the car is the man’s own, the woman doesn’t mind very much. Since they have agreed to the engagement, it means accepting the man’s family situation.

"Glory, thank you for your hard work today."

As soon as Ye Yaorong got out of the car, Xiao Si'er's mother came over and said to Ye Yaorong.

"Auntie, you are too polite. Xiao Si'er got engaged today. This is a good thing. You asked me to accompany Xiao Si'er. I have a big red envelope. I want to thank you."

Ye Yaorong said with a smile.

"When you come back, my aunt will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Xiao Si'er's mother smiled.

"Brother Honor, you are here."

Hearing Ye Yaorong's voice, Xiao Si'er came out of the house and said to Ye Yaorong.

"Xiao Si'er dressed well today, very handsome."

Ye Yaorong glanced at Xiaosi in a black suit and said. This was the first time Ye Yaorong saw Xiao Si'er wearing a suit. He thought it was good and handsome.

"Really, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

Xiao Si'er said. On weekdays, Xiao Si'er basically doesn't wear suits. When she wears suits at this time, she always feels something is wrong.

"Slowly get used to it. When I first got married, just like you, I wasn't used to wearing a suit. Now it's better."

Ye Yaorong said. Before getting married, Ye Yaorong never wore suits, but after getting married, he gradually got used to wearing suits.

"The glory is here, you have worked hard today."

Xiao Si'er's father also came out of the house at this time and said to Ye Yaorong.

"Uncle, don't be polite to me, when can you leave?"

Ye Yaorong asked. After all, it's nine o'clock. This engagement has to go to the woman's house earlier. After all, many relatives of the woman's family have not seen this new uncle, so there must be a lot to ask.

"It's almost time to leave now," Xiao Si'er's mother said.

Together, a few people quickly put all the gifts in the trunk of the Audi Q7, and of course there are some that can't be put in the back seat.

"Glory, please help aunt to pay attention to the red bag of birthday noodles on the basket, and the gift money is in the red envelope inside."

When everything was loaded into the car, Xiao Si'er's mother secretly pulled Ye Yaorong aside and whispered. After all, the 70,000 to 80,000 gift money is in it, don't worry.

"Okay, I will pay attention." Ye Yaorong nodded and said.

The betrothal money for the engagement is basically given on the day of the engagement. It was given by the matchmaker when he first came to the door with his new uncle, and was placed in a red bag in the birthday noodles.

When people in Wenzhou give gifts, they always like to bring longevity noodles, because longevity noodles means longevity in people's eyes.

This gift of noodles for longevity means a long life, and this gift of noodles for engagement means a long-lasting marriage in the future.

"Auntie, don't worry, I know."

Ye Yaorong said. After all, you really have to be careful about this money. It is really not easy for the old man to save the money for half his life, and some even borrow it from others.

"With you, I can rest assured."

Xiao Si'er's mother said. In the past, who would have thought that Ye Yaorong, who was despised by the villagers, was now one of the countable figures in the village.

...

The woman’s home is located in the northwest corner of the town. It will take about ten minutes to drive there. After all, she is driving on a provincial road. If she wants to be fast, she can’t get up.
