Chapter 24: Spring Iron
Auntie Wen had brought a bolt of red silk, forty buns, a cart of wine jars and a gold ring from Yan Jingyi's braid.
"For luck," said Yan, with his ears red, holding it out. "It was the best of them. Do not make a speech."
"I'd never," said Chuhe, and made one anyway.
Ma said the village would not wait for spring.
By the end of the week every house in Lanxi had hung red paper on its door.
The smithy yard was swept, and the anvil wiped, and long tables made of doors laid across barrels stood in the lane.
The wedding was at noon.
Chuhe wore a borrowed red robe, with one sleeve a finger too short.
Yunzhao wore Yan's best white and blue, dyed red by Auntie Wen overnight in her biggest pot.
It was too tight across the shoulders, and he looked like a hero in a painting.
They stood in the yard by the forge, under the thatch, in front of the whole village.
Ma stood between them in a clean apron with her arms folded.
"Bow to heaven," she said.
They bowed.
"Bow to the mountain, since it has such a long memory."
They turned toward the far blue line of Cangshuo and bowed again, and a gust of wind lifted the red paper on every door.
"Bow to me," Ma said, and her voice cracked in the middle. "I'm the one who fed you."
