The second day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is an auspicious day, suitable for cleaning, banquets, and weddings.

Damo and Xiaoqin are scheduled to get married on this day.

The wedding process arrangement, after everyone’s discussion, was arranged as follows:

Damo moved into a new house, called a "warm house", one day early.

As for Xiaoqin, because she is a widow remarrying, according to the customs in this area, she cannot marry like a big girl wearing red and green and playing gongs and drums in broad daylight.

In view of the fact that when her previous husband Daping died, she had already given birth to two children for Daping.

Therefore, Xiaoqin's widow is called "Yuanyang widow" locally.

On the night of the second day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Xiaoqin will wear green clothes, a bamboo hat on her head, and a veil hanging from the bamboo hat, and go out dressed like a knight.

As for Damo, he will greet Xiaoqin under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village.

That night, Yang Ruoqing, Dayun and other women followed Xiaoqin to see her get married.

There were also people in the village who came to watch the fun, but everyone watched from a distance and did not dare to make any noise.

Then he watched Xiaoqin come under the old maple tree and hugged the old maple tree three times.

Xiaoqin cried every time and was still mumbling to Old Fengshu.

Everyone, headed by Yang Ruoqing, accompanied him silently. According to custom, everyone believed that the old maple tree was old and had aura, and its roots were deep underground, reaching into the netherworld.

The soul of my ex-husband Daping will be attached to this old maple tree.

Xiaoqin hugged Daping three times, and then said some farewell words to him, telling him that she was going to remarry, and telling him to live well in another world.

When it was over, Xiaoqin turned her head and wiped away her tears.

The new husband, Damo, came over, placed the offerings one by one under the old maple tree, and sprinkled them with wine.

"Da Ping, although I am two years older than you, I, Da Mo, still have to call you brother."

"Brother Daping, please rest in peace down there, Xiaoqin, and your two daughters. I, Da Mo, will treat you as my own daughters."

"If you break your oath, let me drink this wine glass!"

Damo threw the wine glass onto the stone beside it, and the wine glass immediately broke into pieces.

There was originally no wind tonight, but after Damo finished speaking these words, the leaves of the old maple tree, which had remained motionless, moved slightly a few times.

The rustling sound was fleeting, as if it was responding to the big mo, and seemed to be blessing them.

"The spirit of Daping in heaven will understand. The auspicious time has come for the new couple to return home."

The eldest village elder in the village came over and shouted.

Then, the two matchmakers came over to support Xiaoqin, and together they escorted the newlyweds back to their new house.

The banquet is scheduled for noon tomorrow.

So everyone sent the newlyweds into the bridal chamber, and after saying some auspicious words, they all left without disturbing them.

Xiaoqin's two daughters are sleeping at Yang Ruoqing's house. They will not be allowed to go there tonight. They will be brought over tomorrow when they have a banquet.

Let the two children officially recognize Damo as their father in front of everyone.

"Huh? Tonight, I thought Daping Niang would come over to cause trouble, but why didn't I see her?"

On the way back, Dayun couldn't help but ask.

Everyone just discovered this, yes, how did Daping Niang calm down?

During this period, wasn't it that the first thing I did when I got up every morning was to sit under the old maple tree at the entrance of the village and scold Xiaoqin?

Yang Ruoqing laughed softly and said, "Why don't you come? She had eaten early when it was getting dark, made a bowl of strong tea, and is waiting to come over tonight and make a big fuss!"

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked, "Then why didn't you come again? Could it be that when you were leaving, you had a conscience and planned to let Xiao Qin play?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "No, I locked the door of her main room so she couldn't get out."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

"It's better to lock it up. If you don't lock it up, you will definitely come out and make a fuss, which will disappoint everyone." Dayun said.

"Qing'er, when do you plan to let her out?" Mrs. Sun also asked.

Yang Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "When do you and your aunts and sisters-in-law think it's appropriate to release them?"

Dayun said directly: "Let her out after the banquet at noon tomorrow, so as to save others from eating the banquet. Then she will make baskets of pig excrement and dog excrement to disgust people!"

Sun said: "Qing'er, don't forget it then."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go take care of it after lunch tomorrow."

Dayun said: "You don't have to go to such trouble, just give me the key. My house lives next door to hers. I'll just open the door tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Ruoqing said: "That's okay."

He gave the key to Dayun and everyone went back to their homes.

Although it is an adobe house with a thatched roof, because of the festive atmosphere,

The bright red words "Happy" and window paper posted in this room, under the flickering candlelight, become more and more warm and charming.

Of course, even more charming than this is the face of the bride, Xiaoqin.

She took off the green clothes covering her body and wore a red wedding dress underneath.

Inside the wedding dress is a white undergarment. The white collar and the embroidered edges of the red wedding dress create a visual layering.

Especially when she put down her bun and her soft black hair fell to her waist...

"Daughter-in-law, you are a fairy..."

Damo looked at it with his eyes wide open and almost cried.

Xiaoqin was originally a little reserved and shy, but when she saw Damo's appearance, Xiaoqin was amused.

"You idiot, it's like you've never seen a woman before." She yelled, and raised her hand to lightly poke his forehead with a slender finger.

Damo grabbed Xiaoqin's hand and mustered up the courage to gently touch the back of the smooth hand.

I was secretly surprised.

Xiaoqin has been having a hard time these past few years, raising two children by herself and doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work.

But this woman is different from men. There is a thin layer of calluses on the palms of her hands.

But the back of the hand is still smooth, white, soft and fragrant...

Xiaoqin withdrew her hand, turned sideways to hold on to the hook on the edge of the bed, and then glanced at him quickly from the corner of her eye: "Stop being stupid, blow out the lamp and have a rest!"

Then, she opened the curtain herself and got into the quilt, waiting with bated breath.

"Hey, okay!"

Damo responded and stood in front of the bed, so excited that there was a brief blank in his mind.

"Why are you lingering? Hurry up, it's almost dawn."

After a while, the urging sound of the violin came from the tent again.

Damo came back to his senses. He didn't drag it on purpose. He was so excited that his fingers couldn't control his movements. He didn't know how to take off his clothes.

"Come in and I'll help you take it off."

The woman in the tent seemed to have guessed something and said again.

"Hey, okay!"
