Chapter 416: Marriage Proposal and Dowry Gift
When we returned to Tuoshan Coal Mine, the sun had already set!
Zhou Yang first found his eldest brother and asked about the wedding room. After all, to pretend to be a wedding room, he first needed to know where the house was.
I learned that the wedding room has been decided, and that my eldest brother and a few friends also cleaned the house in the afternoon.
At that moment, Zhou Yang asked his eldest brother to take Master Zhao, drive the car to the side of his house, and then began to unload the goods into the house.
The house allocated to the eldest brother and sister-in-law at the mine is quite good. After all, the sister-in-law is also considered a mid-level cadre in the mine. Plus her family background is such that no one will deny her face.
Although the mine allotted them only two small houses with a total area of less than 40 square meters, they were both brick houses. In a place like Tuoshan Coal Mine, it was really extremely luxurious to live in a brick house.
Compared to the underground house where my eldest brother and the others live, the conditions are many times better.
At that moment, Zhou Yang, Fan Debiao, Wu Zhina, Qiqige and others immediately began to decorate the wedding room without taking any time to rest or eat.
After all, the wedding time has been decided, it will be the day after tomorrow.
There are still many things to prepare during this period, and there is really not much time left for them.
Although it is a wedding room, it is actually not very troublesome to decorate. The room has been cleaned anyway.
All that's left is to lay out the new felt and kang cloth, stack the new quilt and mattress neatly, and put all other items away.
Then just stick the big red words "Happy" on the windows. All in all, we want to achieve a clean and happy effect.
With the hard work of several people, the wedding room was decorated in less than an hour.
Later, Zhou Yang asked his eldest brother to put on new clothes, then took the things he bought and went to his sister-in-law to propose marriage and give the betrothal gift.
Zhou Yang specifically asked Qiqige that proposing marriage is an indispensable step in Mongolian marriages. Under normal circumstances, the procedure is very cumbersome and grand.
According to Qiqige, on the grasslands, when the girls or boys of Mongolian families reach the age of seventeen or eighteen, the elders of the family begin to look for partners for them.
If a young man falls in love with a girl, before getting engaged, he must ask a matchmaker to bring sugar, brick tea, hada and other items that symbolize harmony, sweetness, exuberance, respect, etc., wrapped in a white handkerchief, and go to match them. If the girl accepts
, the marriage can proceed.
Then the groom's parents and himself will bring gifts such as hada, dairy products, candies, etc. to propose marriage, which is what people often call asking for his wife.
Generally speaking, such gift-giving usually takes two to three years.
In the past two or three years, the man has a specific time to go to the woman's house to give gifts. For example, when the seasons change, he has to give away clothes for the season. On July 15th, he asks his wife to give gifts to everyone, and the woman looks at the craftsmanship of the man's family.
, is he an ingenious family?
On August 15th, ask your wife to send you mooncakes to see if the groom's family makes them sweet and delicious, and if you are willing to spend money, use this to measure whether the groom's family is generous or stingy.
In the twelfth lunar month, when making new year's goods, you have to send oil, kūlüè, etc. to the woman. During the busy farming season, you have to go to the woman's house to help. This goes back and forth for two or three years before getting engaged.
After the woman accepts the engagement, the man will send three wines to the woman. If the woman accepts and drinks all three wines, the marriage will be confirmed.
When the wedding day is approaching, the man will give the woman a gift, usually a whole sheep, wine, tea, and khata. The woman will warmly entertain the gift giver, and both parties will toast, recite auspicious phrases, and sing to celebrate, so that the man and woman can agree on a wedding date.
.
But it is obviously impossible for my brother and sister-in-law to follow such steps again. Firstly, there is no time, and secondly, it is meaningless. After all, it has been more than five years since they received their marriage certificate.
Therefore, the etiquette and procedures of this province must be omitted!
So Zhou Yang decided to propose marriage, get engaged, and give the betrothal gift in one step. All it took was a ceremony.
Of course, procedures are saved, but sincerity cannot be lost.
Therefore, Zhou Yang specially bought two whole sheep, one to entertain guests when he was getting married, and the other to be used as a betrothal gift for his eldest brother.
In addition to a whole sheep, Zhou Yang also prepared a betrothal gift for his sister-in-law, as well as sugar, tea, milk wine, candy cubes, Hada and other items.
In the cadre dormitory, Tana and Su Rina have just returned from washing clothes!
The dormitory where Zhou Ping was hit by yesterday's earthquake collapsed, and a lot of things were buried inside, including a lot of new clothes bought by my brother-in-law.
This afternoon Zhou Ping and his men dug out all those things from the pit. Although they were not damaged much, they were all very dirty.
Especially those new clothes that I usually can't bear to wear, it's really a pity.
Thinking that she was getting married in a day or two, Tana took all the dirty clothes back and washed them.
Since there were so many things to clean, Tana's good friend Su Rina also helped her wash them.
As soon as I returned to the dormitory, before I could take a breath, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Su Rina was relatively close to the dormitory door and immediately stood up to open the door.
When she opened the door, she was stunned.
I saw Zhou Ping standing handsomely outside the door wearing clean and tidy clothes, holding a white towel in his hand.
Behind him were a dozen men and women, each carrying large and small bags, and even a whole slaughtered fat sheep.
"Surina, who is it?"
Tana's voice came from the house. She saw Suzina standing there stupidly without moving for a long time after opening the door, and immediately asked.
"Tana, you...your man is here!"
Upon hearing Suzina's words, Tana immediately stood up and came over.
At the same time, Zhou Ping also opened the door and walked in.
Seeing how Zhou Ping was dressed and seeing the things held by the people behind him, Tana immediately understood what Zhou Ping was going to do.
Suddenly, she was so excited that tears fell down!
As a Mongolian girl, she also hopes that like other girls, her beloved will come to propose marriage, get engaged, give a betrothal gift, and then get married with the blessings of her parents and relatives.
But she knew that it was not easy for her and Zhou Ping to get together, and she did not dare to ask for too much.
What's more, Zhou Ping is a Han Chinese, so he may not understand these things.
However, now he not only came unexpectedly, but also came with all the items needed to propose marriage according to their Mongolian customs, which moved her very much.
After entering the door, Zhou Ping looked at Tana with tearful eyes and said seriously: "Tana, I'm here to propose marriage to you!"
"Um..."
"Tana, although this day comes a little late and you have suffered so much injustice, I promise that from now on I will use my life to love you and protect you. Are you willing to give me this chance?
"
While speaking, Zhou Ping gave away the white towel in his hand.
In Mongolian tradition, a white towel represents purity, and a white towel in hand means that a girl agrees to date a boy.
"I do!"
With that said, Tana took the towel from Zhou Ping's hand!
At this time, Zhou Yang also walked up to Tana, then took out a red cloth bag and handed it to her hand.
"Sister-in-law, this is the betrothal gift from our Zhou family to you. The betrothal gift is 666 yuan, a whole sheep, two pounds of sugar, two pounds of honey, and a pair of bricks and tea... I wish my eldest brother and sister-in-law will always be together, grow old together, and have a son soon.
!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present opened their mouths!
Betrothal gifts are available to both the Mongolian and the Han people. In comparison, most of the Mongolian gifts are just symbolic gifts, usually not too much.
On the contrary, the woman's dowry is usually not small, which is also traditional.
The betrothal gift for the Han people varies from person to person, but it should not exceed a hundred yuan at most, after all, where is everyone's income right now.
However, the Zhou family suddenly gave out a super high gift of 666 yuan. This size really shocked everyone, not to mention there were so many items.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
It can be expected that the news of the Zhou family’s re-employment to marry Tana will spread throughout the mining area in less than tomorrow!
For a moment, no matter whether they were inside or outside the house, whether they were gays or lesbians, their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Tana!
ps: Maybe I caught a cold, or maybe I won the bid. My head has been dizzy since yesterday and the pain is severe. If the book is not updated tomorrow, it may be that I was pulled away. I am so worried!
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
