Chapter 281 Wedding Benefits at that Time
Although it is still dark now, people have gradually appeared at Zhao Laosan's house at the east end of Shanghe Village.
Since Zhao Laosan and Village Chief Zhao Shengli are cousins, many people came to help.
Although the old saying goes that you can't invite people to red events without invitations, and you can come to funerals without invitations, many neighbors will give gifts to neighbors when there is a happy event as long as there is no hatred between the two families. After all, this matter is about celebration, and the money is also paid back.
However, Zhao Laosan's family did not notify any educated youth, so no educated youth paid this unfair money.
But these did not affect everyone to go and watch the fun. Han Li and the other three had just finished their meal at home and were talking about some private words tenderly, when the sound of firecrackers came from the village. Not long after, Yang Xiuying came over to call people.
"Han Li, Sister Yun, let's go and watch the fun. I heard that the movement at Zhao Laosan's son-in-law's house is different from that of ordinary people."
Han Li forgot to mention this yesterday, and Yun Yingying asked curiously at this moment.
"Are there any different weddings these days?"
"I heard that Zhao Laosan's in-laws originally lived by the Wusuli River, and later moved to a nearby village because of some things. However, their family still retained some of the customs there, and they didn't hold a grand wedding, so it looked particularly interesting."
Everyone was immediately interested after hearing what Yang Xiuying said, so they started to put on their shoes and get off the kang to see the different customs.
When they were getting dressed and changing shoes, Yang Xiuying ran to call He Mi and the others, leaving her roommate Hao Hongmin here. Han Li smiled and said.
"Xiuying has changed a lot in the past six months. When she first came, she would cry for every little thing. I thought she would be a deserter, but now she has become a lively little smart person."
Hao Hongmin sat on the kang with her hands on the brazier to keep warm. After hearing what Han Li said, she pondered for a moment and said.
"Is it so easy to be a deserter? Not only will you be punished severely if you are caught, but you will also have no control over where you go next time. However, Xiuying's success today is inseparable from your encouragement at the beginning. If you hadn't given her examples of workers in textile factories, smelters, steel mills, and leather factories, and taught us how to slack off, not only she, but even I would not have been able to accept it so quickly."
Hao Hongmin's tone revealed gratitude when she said these words. Before Han Li could respond, Yun Yingying asked first.
"Sister Hongmin, the story about the female worker in the textile factory you told us last time was told by Brother Li?"
"Well, Xiuying cried so miserably at the time. I didn't persuade her and she almost made me cry. If Han Li hadn't given us an example, even if we could persevere, we would definitely not have the optimistic attitude we have now."
Yun Jingjing looked at Han Li deeply. She didn't expect that he would do ideological work for others. However, he never used these things to persuade the sisters. It seems that this man still needs to continue to squeeze them. However, she immediately took up the topic and said.
"It is said that a good word can warm you through the winter. In a difficult and unfamiliar environment, nothing is more important than a word of encouragement. As a friend of everyone, Han Li has done a good job in this regard."
"That's right. When we first came here, if Brother Li hadn't lent us the stove to improve our lives, we would have been exhausted at the beginning."
Han Li was embarrassed by what they said. At this time, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi were called by Yang Xiuying.
"What are you guys talking about so lively?"
Yun Yingying briefly said what she had just said, and He Mi looked at Han Li and said generously.
"Yingying, you have a good eye for people. Han Li is really a good person. He saved my life from a wild wolf."
Then it was Qi Zhaodi's turn to praise Han Li in various ways. The room completely turned into a meeting of flattery. Fortunately, the sound of firecrackers in the village became more frequent, so everyone stopped talking about this topic and walked towards Zhao Laosan's house at the east end of the village.
When they arrived, they saw a strange scene. There were many dog-drawn sleds parked on the streets and alleys.
Each dog had a small red flower tied on its head, and some red cloth strips were tied on the sleds. The whips of those driving the sleds were tied with a red silk on the whip poles, and a big red tassel was tied on the whip tassels.
Han Li was very interested in this custom. He said something to Yun Yingying and left the group.
Han Li approached an older uncle driving a sled, and the two started chatting with a cigarette.
It turned out that Zhao Yuying's son-in-law was called "Xuesheng", a name given by his grandfather according to the custom of his hometown.
When getting married by the Wusuli River, almost all families use such dog sleds to pick up the bride.
However, the dogs there are carefully selected, while most of the dogs here are just for numbers.
The first sled is for the bride and groom, the second sled is for the guests (managers) of the man and woman, and the third sled is for the bride's dowry, and the people who send the bride off.
As for the sled for the groom's wedding and the sled with the musicians, there is only a small red flower and a simple red cloth strip on the dog's head, and the whip pole and whip tassel of the sled are no longer decorated.
And the use of dog sleds is very common there, whether it is going to the market or visiting relatives, they all choose dog sleds.
The uncle finally looked around and said mysteriously when he found no one nearby.
"I heard that when young people on the Ussuri River are dating, they will drive dog sleds out. The two of them will drive into the ice and snow, and they will whisper something without fear of being overheard.
And when they have time, they can secretly ride dog sleds to the Russians. I heard that there are more men than women there because of the war. Women will get a lot of money for each child they give birth to, and there are also so-and-so honors, so the young girls and wives there are very open-minded. As long as the two can get along, they can get it done immediately. You know. Hehe. If you meet a good-looking guy like you, it is not uncommon for many women to fight for your right to do that."
The uncle laughed quite obscenely, but Han Li thought of some of the Russians he had read in his previous life (official history, official history, official history, important things should be said three times).
The population problem in the Russians reached its limit after World War II, so the country gave the green light to this aspect.
Polygamy is allowed, but both parties must have children when they are over 16 years old.
And the situation at that time was that as long as men and women were not married, they could have sex with each other at will.
Even if they were married, the state and individuals were not allowed to interfere too much in their private affairs.
The atmosphere on the Russian side was originally open, and there was no such strong loyalty as in our country.
Because they used this crazy system to quickly fill the country's population, it caused chaos in the relationship between men and women in the country.
A man can have many women, which has become a representative of polygamy.
Even so, the ratio of men and women in the Russians was seriously unbalanced after the war, and in many places there were even multiple women competing for one man.
At this time, a special group appeared, that is, the Chinese young people studying abroad who had a very good relationship with the Russians at that time.
At that time, those who could go abroad to study were naturally elite talents from all walks of life, and the appearance of these international students became a hot commodity, which directly caused the women on the Russian side to chase after them.
At that time, the relationship between the two countries was in a honeymoon period. my country was afraid that this seed would cause displeasure to the big brother. Even though the first generation of marriage law had been promulgated at that time, it also adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to these things.
Therefore, many people who went to study abroad in Russia at that time married one or even several "concubines", and they were the kind that could not be driven away.
If Zhu Bajie was placed in the Russian era, he would probably live a good life with three wives and four concubines.
(All the powerful masters can consider traveling back to that period and marrying hundreds of concubines who are legitimate and free of charge.)
At this time, the sound of firecrackers in the alley kept crackling. The first to come out was a group of children, holding washbasins, thermoses, packages and other items in their hands. Because there were many children but not many things, there was a scene where two or three children had to hold an enamel basin together.
Behind her was Zhao Yuying, who was supported by everyone. She sat on the first sled under the guidance of the steward. After she sat down, the two women of the Zhao family immediately took out a blanket to wrap her legs.
At this time, Zhao Yuying saw Han Li in the crowd, and then showed him a grateful smile.
