"Brother, is there anything else we need to do?" Zhang Hua asked politely.
"Brother Hua, I've got everything ready. You can just wait for the wedding banquet tomorrow." Zhang Junping replied with a smile.
"If something happens, don't be polite to me, just talk." Before Zhang Hua left, he still reminded Zhang Junping.
"Don't worry, Brother Hua! I promise I won't be polite to you." Zhang Junping smiled and nodded.
Zhang Hua had something to do in the evening, so he didn't stay for dinner and left early. Others were not polite and stayed.
Naturally, the others stayed not just to eat, but to help.
"Brother Pingzi, tell me, you are also a big boss. Wouldn't it be too shabby to use a bicycle to pick up your bride?" Ma Du was very unsupportive of Zhang Junping's use of a bicycle to pick up his bride.
Not to mention the relationship between Zhang Junping and him, as long as Zhang Junping opened his mouth, their brothers could get him a few cars.
"We have to stay close to the masses and not be separated from them. Everyone uses bicycles to pick up their brides when they get married. I picked up a car to pick up my brides. It's too high-profile and inappropriate." Zhang Junping smiled and rejected Ma Du and other friends who said this.
Zhang Junping didn't use a car to pick up his bride, naturally not to keep a low profile or to be close to the masses.
An era has its own characteristics. Using a bicycle to pick up a bride is a characteristic of this era. It is a past event that is still worth recalling decades later.
A brief explanation: Zhang Junping treated everyone to a farewell single dinner at a hotel near Shichahai in the evening.
The next day, everyone arrived at Shichahai early.
There were ten bicycles in total, and each bicycle had a big red flower tied to it. The riders were all Zhang Junping's classmates. They were all wearing snow-white shirts, light gray trousers, and shiny big leather shoes.
We whizzed by all the way to Dashilan Meishi Street to pick up the bride.
Ma Du, Wang Shuo and other buddies also wanted to go with them to pick up the bride, but Zhang Junping refused.
In a word, he looks too ugly and damages his image.
Ma Du and Wang Shuo were so angry that they wanted to beat someone.
Speaking of which, the reason why Ma Du, Wang Shuo, Ye Jing and others can become friends is because they all look like crooked melons and jujubes, and no one will dislike anyone.
Zhang Junping led his classmates on bicycles and swaggered through the city, ringing the bells and making crisp ringing sounds.
Along with the crisp ringtones there is loud singing.
On the mountain where horses are racing, there is a floating cloud.
···········
The eldest sister of the Huang family, Liu Liu, is very talented.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family, Liuliu, has a crush on Liuliu.
···········
Pedestrians on the road smiled knowingly when they saw their group and the big red flowers on their handlebars.
Everyone understands that this is the procession to welcome the bride.
They were once so young and so public.
It's great to be young.
Shichahai is not very far from Meishi Street, and the group quickly arrived at the courtyard house on Meishi Street.
At this time, all the courtyards on Meishi Street, from the entrance of the alley to the entrance of the courtyard, were plastered with big red characters "happy".
Huang Xue also found a group of female classmates from Central America to come and help.
We all knew each other in school, and now we were playing even more wildly.
When Zhang Junping and others arrived, the door with the words "Double Happiness" on it was tightly closed.
This is also a custom here in BJ, or a custom in most places in later generations, called door.
Of course, Zhang Junping doesn't need to do this himself, Zhuang Helin and the others are there.
This was their fun, and maybe they could even make a good marriage. How could Zhang Junping be so embarrassed to snatch it away?
It's just that Zhuang Helin and the others were a bit too reluctant to let go. They stuffed more than a dozen red envelopes in. My sister had already shouted more than a dozen times, but she still hadn't opened the door.
"Ping'er, I was told that if I want to open the door, you can sing a song for everyone and show your attitude." After a while, Zhuang Helin was defeated and ran to Zhang Junping and said loudly.
"Yes! Sing us a song, we must be satisfied."
"You still have to show your attitude. How will you treat us, Huang Xue, after we get married?"
The conversation between Zhuang Helin and Zhang Junping was heard inside, and they shouted loudly inside.
Zhang Junping looked at the gatehouse and saw that this was the only bad thing about the courtyard. There was no way to climb over the wall.
"Okay! Isn't it just singing? As long as you are not afraid, I am not afraid!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Don't be afraid! Just let your horse come over!"
"What are we afraid of when you sing?"
As a result, when Zhang Junping opened his mouth, everyone inside was immediately defeated.
"Listen, stop!" Several female classmates inside screamed loudly, asking Zhang Junping to stop.
This sound was so scary that I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it in broad daylight.
If it were night, I would not dare to walk at night.
"No more singing? Does that count as me passing?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
Of course his singing is not that bad, he is just doing it deliberately.
If everything was done according to the other party's wishes, it would be meaningless.
"You passed!" several female students inside said reluctantly.
"Show your stance! What will you do to us, Huang Xue, after you get married?"
"I must treat her well."
"No, not specific enough!"
"Who controls your family's money?"
"Yellow snow tube!"
"Who does the housework?"
"Let's do it together!"
"no!"
"I told a few girls that I would do all the housework. Do you believe it?" Zhang Junping asked rhetorically.
This question left the female classmates in the courtyard speechless.
In this era, if a man can do housework for a woman, he is considered a good man.
Most men don't work at all.
Even if they are all female college students, they are helpless when faced with this situation.
Of course, there are women who are stronger and men do all the housework, but that is an exception.
There is no need for Zhang Junping.
"Okay! You pass!" The female classmate opened the door unwillingly.
After the door opened, Zhuang Helin and others entered the yard and began to scatter money.
They were all one-cent, two-cent, and five-cent coins that had been exchanged in advance.
This one is called Shamantianxing.
In the past, when getting married, all the money was given in copper coins.
Now, naturally it has been changed to RMB.
After a lot of trouble, Huang Xue was finally taken out of the yard.
Zhang Junping took Huang Xue with him on a bicycle, and Zhuang Helin and others took their female classmates, singing songs and ringing the ringing bells again, back to the courtyard of Shichahai.
Originally, according to the customs at BJ's side that Ma Du, Wang Shuo and others mentioned, the door would be closed tightly after arriving at the man's side.
This is called the temperament of the bride, which requires the bride's bride to call the door repeatedly and promise to obey the four virtues, live a virtuous life, etc. before the door will be opened.
However, this link was canceled by Zhang Junping.
He and Huang Xue are not from Beijing.
Besides, after all this time, why are you still doing this?
Pretty much the same, just step into the door and step into the brazier.
