13. Heart-wrenching Wedding
After school, the teachers walked towards the East Wind Brigade in groups of three to five. Zhang Moxiong, He Peigen, and a few other teachers with bicycles carried a few older female teachers on their backs. I, Li Zhuhong, Wu Aiting, and Lu Chuanjie walked together. Lu Chuanjie asked me a strange question.
"Zhang Su Ning, what connections did you use to get assigned to Zeng Bu Tou High School?”
I smiled and said,
"When I came back from Jianli Normal University, I reported to the Education Bureau."Where do you want to be assigned to?" I said,'Whatever.' The man said,'Then you can go back to the field.'When I reported to the Yangchang Education Team, Team Leader Chen asked me,""Where do you want to be assigned to?" I said,'Whatever.' He said,"Ceng Bu Tou Middle School is still lacking teachers. You can go to Ceng Bu Tou."'I've never heard of Zeng Butou before, and I even went to the station to take a ride. In the end, I arrived in a short while and wasted three cents.”
Wu Aiting turned her head and blinked her big eyes at me. She asked in surprise,
"Really? You didn't look for anyone?"
I said seriously,
"No, I haven't."
Lu Chuanjie looked ahead and said thoughtfully,
"Many of our classmates tried to get into the county or the suburbs, but they were still sent to schools far away.”
Wu Aiting glanced at Lu Chuanjie and teased,
"Lu Chuanjie, you must have looked for the Director of Education, right?”
Lu Chuanjie sighed emotionally.
"If only I could find the director, then I would be assigned to the fight…"
We followed Qin Chang Sheng's instructions and walked along the road that led to the lotus lake. Finally, we saw a family holding a wedding. Mr. Du Guan came out to welcome us. Qin Chang Sheng also came up to fill our cigarettes. The helpers brought us tea and benches. I said,
"Let's take a look."
Holding a cup of tea in one hand and a cigarette in the other, we first looked at the wedding couplet at the door. Lu Chuanjie began to recite,
"The first verse: Heaven matches marriage for a long time; The second half of the couplet: De Wei Luan Feng love long; Horizontal: A hundred years of good marriage.”
I was shocked. The couplet was divided into two parts. Lu Chuanjie actually distinguished it so clearly, but I didn't know much about it.
Walking into the central room, there was a very long couplet pasted on both sides of the central room. This time, it was Li Zhuhong who read it,
"Recalling the heroic songs of our fathers, a pair of newlyweds singing a song of mutual love; Carefully taste the fragrance of the muddy wine cup of the farmer's family, recall the past, and fill the table with good guests to drink Fenggu wine.”
Lu Chuanjie said,
"You read it wrong. It should be 'Carefully savoring the fragrance of the muddy wine cups of the peasants, recalling the past, filling the guests with abundant grain wine; Recalling the heroic songs of their fathers, the couple sang a song of wings.'”
Wu Aiting opened her big eyes and asked Lu Chuanjie,
"Why can't you read it like Li Zhuhong?”
Those words were in disagreement with Lu Chuanjie's words. I had more or less studied couplets and knew the logic behind them.
"The couplet focuses on antithesis, such as the relationship between a verb and a verb, adjectives and adverbs. There was a book that specifically told dazed students to match couplets. It began with: " Heaven versus earth, earth versus heaven, heaven and earth versus mountains.'There was also the tone. Yin Ping and Yang Ping matched up against each other. In this couplet,'fine taste' versus 'reminiscence,''peasant family' versus 'father generation,''turbid wine' versus 'grand song,''cup cup fragrance' versus 'Qu Qu Zhuang',' recalling the past 'versus' carrying forward the past and opening up the future','full guests' versus 'a pair of newlyweds,' drinking 'versus' singing together,'' abundant grain wine 'versus' song of wings.' Very well."
Wu Aiting said,
"Zhang Su Ning, you've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't explained why you have to read it like Lu Chuanjie.”
That's right. After talking for a long time, I couldn't grasp the core of Wu Aiting's question. It should be said that I didn't answer the question. I could only explain again,
"In the ancient couplets, the last word of the first verse must be the upper tone and the lower tone, and the last word of the second verse must be Yin Ping and Yang Ping. The reason why this couplet was the first part of the couplet was because the last word 'wine' was the first tone. The reason why it was the second part was because the last word 'song' was the first tone.”
Lu Chuanjie smiled and said to Wu Aiting,
"Did you hear that? Old Zhang is really knowledgeable!"
"Flatterer! If I help you smooth things over, I'll become Old Zhang!”
Li Zhuhong was beckoning us at the back door. When we went over to take a look, there was also a couplet on the door:
"Marry a daughter-in-law today and hold a grandson next year. Horizontal caption: Happy flowers bloom."
Li Zhuhong asked Wu Aiting,"
"Guess who lives in this house?”
Wu Aiting pointed at Li Zhuhong's nose and said,"
"Li Zhuhong, aren't you underestimating me too much?‘Holding Grandson was clearly the elder of the newbie, and the people living here were his parents.”
Speaking of which, I'm not as smart as them. It took me a long time to understand. Wu Aiting was still lively. She said,
"We haven't seen the couplet for the bridal chamber.”
So, we walked back and came to the door. The new house was on the east side of the hall. It was on the right hand side of the door. We actually missed it. Lu Chuanjie started to read,
"Solve the bracket to analyze the factor to obtain the new molecules. Why isn't there any horizontal criticism on this painting?"
At this moment, Zhang Moxiong came over with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked like a slob as he took a puff and blew out smoke rings. He looked at the couplet and said,
"You know, this is all mathematical language. Qin Changsheng teaches middle school mathematics, and his wife also teaches middle school mathematics. This was a couplet specially written according to the characteristics of their profession.”
Only then did we understand that it was most appropriate to write the couplet specifically for newcomers. Therefore, we repeated it repeatedly, especially Li Zhuhong. Her voice was surprisingly loud.
" New molecules are obtained by resolving the parenthesis and analyzing the factors. A vertical line is drawn through the point of tangency to the center of the circle…New molecules are obtained by resolving the parenthesis and analyzing the factors. A vertical line is drawn through the point of tangency to the center of the circle…"
Master Ning Fachun walked into the crowd and said to us,
"Did you read the meaning behind it?‘What does 'parenthesis' mean? What did 'new element' mean?‘What does vertical line mean? And what does 'circle center' mean?"
Before I could react, Wu Aiting immediately raised her hand to stop Director Ning from continuing.
"Department Director Ning, it's a good couplet. Why does it mean that after your explanation…"
I saw Wu Aiting's face turn red. She finally understood the meaning of the couplet. To think that he was a language teacher. In such an occasion, in such an atmosphere, coupled with such a couplet, the meaning could not be explained. I was doing some self-criticism when a middle-aged man next to me interrupted,
" In the past, we used Chief Mao's poems as wedding couplets. The front door used 'The four seas are raging, the clouds are raging, the five continents are shaking, and the wind and thunder are hurried'. The door of the newlyweds used' A natural immortal cave, infinite scenery on the dangerous peak'…"
Before the man could finish, Wu Aiting covered her ears and walked out. As she walked, she said,
" A good poem from Leader Mao has been ruined by you guys…"
The firecrackers rang out, and the bridal procession entered. We didn't even see the bride's appearance. We went into the bridal chamber and stood on tiptoe outside the door. The room was full of young girls. Wu Aiting said,
"I heard that there is a custom here. The bride will find nine girls to accompany her to the man's house. It's called 'Ten Sisters'.”
Li Zhuhong turned around and teased Wu Aiting,"
"Are you ready? Which bridesmaids are you going to invite?"
Wu Aiting punched Li Zhuhong and wanted to punch her again, but Li Zhuhong had already run away. Wu Aiting chased after her, and I also left the window.
It was our turn to sit. Luckily, the table was full of young people, so no one was polite. Zhang Moxiong shouted for Qin Changsheng to bring the bride to toast us. Wu Aiting said,
"Not yet. Didn't you see? Just now, a little girl brought a basin of hot water in for the bride to wash her face.”
Li Zhuhong said to Wu Aiting,
"Wu Aiting, do you know why you washed your face? What? Learn from him and see what he gave that child.”
Wu Aiting stood up and raised her chopsticks to hit Li Zhuhong. Li Zhuhong stood up and was ready to escape at any time.
There were a lot of people, and we knew that Qin Chang Sheng couldn't handle all of them, so we didn't insist on asking the newlyweds to toast us.
The wedding celebration lasted until the banquet was over. Everyone was drinking tea and chatting. The older people were playing cards around the table. My father also played that kind of card. It was called "Seventeen". I had never touched it before, so I didn't know how to play it. Instead, many people gathered around the table to watch them play.
The person who caused trouble in the bridal chamber might be Qin Changsheng's colleague from Dongfeng Primary School or his classmate from the teacher's school. They were very close and had a very strong relationship. However, just as we were about to bid farewell and return to school, a tragedy happened.
The bridal chamber was noisy. I squeezed to the door and saw the bride hugging a man with a spittoon and crying. I don't know who was scolding,
"Who is so wicked to put a spittoon on Qin Chang Sheng's head?”
Someone beside him said,
"I was only wearing it for fun in the bridal chamber. Who would have thought that I wouldn't be able to take it out after wearing it?”
Another person said,
"I saw that it was worn well. I don't know who hit Qin Chang Sheng on the head, but the spittoon was put in.”
Director Ning squeezed into the bridal chamber, looked around, and whispered something to the bride. The bride let Qin Chang Sheng lie on the new bed and carefully pulled out the spittoon. A muffled voice came from the spittoon,
"It hurts-"
The bride stopped. Department Director Ning personally went forward and said something to Qin Changsheng who was in the spittoon. He grabbed the spittoon with both hands and pulled it out. He seemed to be using a lot of strength, and the spittoon screamed. Department Director Ning finally stopped, scratched her head, and said,
"It looks like we have to send him to the hospital. Hey, who has a bicycle to send Qin Changsheng to the People's Hospital?"”
Zhang Moxiong immediately squeezed in and said,
"I'll go!"
Lu Chuanjie said,
"Zhang Moxiong has a classmate at the People's Hospital.”
Department Director Ning shouted again,
"Who else has a bicycle?"
He Peigan and an unknown person stood out. Department Director Ning said,
"The three of you go together and take turns carrying him. Little Qin, just hug their waists and don't fall off!”
After sending them to the door, the bride walked around the house twice and pushed a bicycle out. Director Ning called out to her,
"You can't go alone! Who else had a bicycle to accompany Xiaojiang to the People's Hospital?”
Two more people stood up. Director Ning sent them to the roadside and said,
" Be careful on the road!"
Department Director Ning wants us to go back first. So, we left this heart-wrenching wedding.
The moon was very big, and the moonlight was very clear. It seemed to be particularly bleak, and it felt wet as he walked on the road. After walking for a long distance, Li Zhuhong said,"
"It's a little cold today!"
I was still thinking about the spittoon:
"How did that spittoon get into your head?”
He should have said," Why did my head get into the spittoon?" I couldn't correct it. Wu Aiting said,
"Since you can wear it, you should take it out!”
Lu Chuanjie said,
"Nose…"
We all understood, so we fell silent again. Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the distance beside the pit. There were a few dog barks, which was a little creepy. All of a sudden, an animal ran across the road in front of us and gave us a fright. Wu Aiting held my arm with one hand and Li Zhuhong's arm with the other. She said,
"What is this!"
Li Zhuhong said,
"Rabbit, or weasel!”
I wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said,
"Is it a ghost?"
Wu Aiting tugged at my clothes.
"Nonsense!"
The three of us laughed out loud. Wu Aiting straightened up and said,
"You guys are bad. Are you trying to scare me? I'm not afraid!"
As we talked, we finally arrived at the dormitory. After washing up, I was already under the blanket. Li Zhuhong said the last sentence,
"We just need to see if the People's Hospital has a way to take out the spittoon…"
