November 10th was a good day that the Zhou siblings had been looking forward to for a long time. This was the day when their uncle Zhao Gang got married. Such a big event, of course, required the whole family to attend together.

  Dabao and Zhou Xiaoyun each asked the teacher for a day off, Dabao was taken to his uncle's house by Zhao Yuzhen the night before to help his uncle press the bed.

  In the new house, a new bed needs to be pressed by a young boy, this is a rural custom. Zhao Gang immediately thought of his nephew, Dabao. A child who is too big seems to be unsuitable for pressing the bed, and one who is too small is afraid of wetting the bed. A ten-year-old like Dabao is the best choice.

  Dabao was thrilled for many days when he knew he had to help his uncle press the bed at home.

  To know the new house is full of delicious food for good luck, the children who sleep under the bed can freely search and put them in their pockets on that night, who doesn't like such a wonderful difference.

  Xiao Bao saw his mom and brother leave early, he was so envious that he wanted to follow them. He was scolded by Zhao Yu Zhen and almost cried.

  Dabao showed his brotherly demeanor and generously offered to share half of the delicious food he found with Xiaobao, who then slightly smiled.

  Er Ya was used to sleeping with her mother, but now she saw Zhao Yu Zhen taking Da Bao away and refused to go. After some thought, Zhao Yu Zhen took Er Ya along as well. Otherwise, Zhou Guo Qiang wouldn't have been able to take care of the three children the next day, so he decided to take Da Bao and Er Ya to his mother's house for a night first.

  On the morning of November 10th, Zhou Xiaoyun got up early to feed the chickens and ducks, then helped Xiaobao clean up and tidy up, and then braided two pigtails for herself. After Zhou Guoqiang finished feeding the pigs, he locked the door at home and set off for his uncle's house.

  Zhao Gang's wedding was a top priority for the Zhao family, and all the daughters returned to help out. The relatives inside and outside the house were packed in like sardines, making the courtyard seem crowded. With children running around in the yard, it was even more lively.

  Dabao's sharp eyes spotted Xiaobao and Zhou Xiaoyun, and he came over to greet them from afar. As promised, he pulled out a large handful of candies and pastries and stuffed them into Xiaobao's mouth, who was beaming with joy, calling out "Gege" (older brother) affectionately.

  Dabao specially left some for his sister Zhou Xiaoyun, he didn't forget his sister's kindness to him in the past.

  Zhou Xiaoyun's pocket was stuffed full by Da Bao, and her heart felt warm and fuzzy.

  At noon, I had a delicious meal. In the afternoon, what I was most looking forward to was the arrival of the bride. At that time, there were no cars, and Uncle Zhao Gang drove a brand new hand-held tractor to pick up the bride.

  The hand-pulled tractor was what the bride's family asked to buy, not only did it look good when bringing the new wife home on their wedding day, but more importantly, after marriage, she could drive the tractor to help others haul bricks and earn money. Zhao Gang's family finally managed to scrape together enough money to bring the vehicle back home.

  A big "囍" character was posted on the tractor, and a pile of furniture on the car were all dowry for the bride. The villagers who gathered around to watch commented that the bride's dowry was really not small, and Grandma's face was radiant with joy when she heard people praising her.

  A group of children gathered around the car to see the bride, who was wearing a red dress and red shoes with makeup on her face and a red flower in her hair, exuding joy all over. When she saw the children surrounding her, the bride's face turned even redder than her clothes.

  Zhao Gang is in high spirits on happy occasions, and being a groom feels different.

  Not being tall, he lifted his head and puffed out his chest, unexpectedly having a bit of an imposing presence. He scattered a large handful of candy to the children, taking advantage of the children's scramble to lead the bride into their new home.

  The new house was plastered with big red "happiness" characters everywhere, and the furniture such as wardrobes and dressers had been moved in by relatives who came to help. The new house looked very neat and stylish, and a group of young men in their twenties were all crowded inside wanting to catch a glimpse of the bride.

  Zhou Xiaoyun also squeezed into the new house, her impression of this aunt was not deep in her previous life, she only felt that her figure was relatively small and delicate. Now it seems that her face is still quite beautiful, and under the reflection of the big red wedding dress, her beauty has increased by three points.

  The young men who came to see the excitement mostly couldn't take their eyes off the beautiful bride, making Zhao Gang both happy and proud.

  After dinner, the real fun of teasing the bride officially begins. At that time, no one went to tease the groom and bridesmaid, they all teased the bride.

  At this time, the bride's personality can be seen. If she is a bit shy and reluctantly follows the requirements, although she is a bit ashamed, she will get through it before sending the house at 12 o'clock.

  If the noisy house people's demands are ignored, it would instead provoke them to continue making noise past midnight, thus delaying the delivery of the house and leaving the homeowner helpless.

  So the bride, no matter how hard it is, has to get through this hurdle. One moment she's lighting a cigarette for someone, the next she's performing some intimate program with the groom, and a crowd of people, big and small, old and young, male and female, are all gathered around the bridal chamber watching the commotion.

  It wasn't until around eleven thirty when they were about to send off the house that it finally stopped, a red chopstick was thrown in from the window gap, a long whip was lit, two elders from the two families, one lit a rolled up strip of red paper and started saying auspicious words: "One scattering chestnuts, two scattering dates, three scattering...", another was responsible for responding with a "good", that is to say whatever was said would be responded with a "good".

  After everything was busy, the newlyweds entered the bridal chamber and all relatives dispersed and went home.

  Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang each brought two children back home overnight, the whole family had no place to sleep so they could only go back home.

  On the road, the smallest Er Ya was already tired and sleepy from running around all day and fell asleep on the car's headrest.

  Zhou Guoqiang was worried that she didn't dare ride too fast, and when they finally arrived home at a slow pace, it was already midnight.
