During the period of the large collective production team, due to the backward economic conditions and material deprivation, the marriage scene in the countryside was quite simple, and a horse-drawn carriage would marry the new daughter-in-law to the house.
At that time, it can be said that 90 out of 100 of the families who married wives and daughters in the countryside were in winter, and the month of Layue saw the most marriages.
As for getting married during this time period, the first consideration is that winter is the slack season, and the team is not so busy with farm work. Another is that the lunar month is close to the New Year, and the food needed for marriage is easy to store, so there is no need to worry about spoilage, and there is another is that when you get married at this time, people feel happy and fresh.
Whoever has a son wants to get married, he will save money for several years before becoming a parent, save wheat, save oil, and save money for backup. When it comes to marriage, although the woman doesn't want much, most of the man's family borrows money and owes money. After both parties voluntarily go to the commune to get the certificate, they will get married according to the date.
The man's family painted the outer walls of the courtyard house and the outer wall of the street with soot water, and the inner wall of the marriage room with white ash water, put a quilt bed on the earthen kang, put a few beds of newly made homespun quilts and two black pillows with flowers on their heads and wheat straw. On the floor of the house, there is a table with three drawers and two old-fashioned cabinets, which are all the new wedding furniture.
The wedding car is even simpler, just tell the captain in advance, and a rubber carriage will be arranged for the wedding car.
On the rubber carriage, find a few soft willow sticks bent into an arched shed, cover them with reed mats, cover them with red flower sheets, spread mats in the car, and put a new black mattress, at first glance it looks like Mr. Lu Xun's description of the Wupeng boat. After the rubber cart is dressed, put on a strong mule, and tie a large red flower of paper on the head of the mule. At that time, the groom went to the woman's house to pick up the bride, and the man's own family housekeeper led several teams to pick up the bride, each riding a bicycle with flowers, and went to the woman's house with the wedding car.
And the bride is dressed up even more, no eyebrows or powder, only a little alabaster on her face, two big braids are combed black and shiny, wearing a red satin cotton pants that were popular at the time, and in the sound of firecrackers, she sat in the first happy "wedding car" in her life"。
Nowadays, in this era of material abundance and economic dominance, weddings in the countryside have really undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before. More than a dozen mid-to-high-end cars, the front and rear of the car are white cars, the wedding ceremony, and the emcee is also required to photograph the rainbow door and other matters, and the bride is dressed in a thick dress, the phoenix crown is draped, and several beautiful bridesmaids are accompanied.
In the past, the carriage was used as a wedding car, people did not feel a little inferior, people only paid attention to the appearance of the bride, and now, who is married in the countryside, such as more than a dozen Audi A6, people have been discussing, saying that this is really good, and the marriage has pomp.
