Khin Khin Htoo - Wedding Cart

That day, Ko Chit Toe woke up early. Ko Chit Toe usually didn’t want to wake up at eight in the morning. He had to set a timer at night so that he could wake up at six. Ko Chit Toe’s wife didn’t approve of what Ko Chit Toe was doing. It wasn’t her business. It wasn’t her job. She didn’t like what the elders wanted her to do. Ko Chit Toe and Ko Kyaw Than lived in the same neighborhood and were businessmen, so it was only natural that they would be friends. Maung Hlaing, who was going to ask for a wife, had nothing to do with Ko Chit Toe. Maung Kyaing was a student of Ko Kyaw Than, the owner of the iron smelting plant. He was a young man who came from another village to work. Ko Kyaw Than had promised to ask for a wife for his student, so he would take Ko Chit Toe with him, so he had to get up. Ko Chit Toe’s wife, Ma Khaing, didn’t approve of this.

"It's not my business, it's not my business. I have to buy things at the store, and I don't care about the monastery, but I'm one step ahead of everyone else." That day, Ko Chit Toe woke up early in the morning. Ko Chit Toe usually didn't want to wake up at eight in the morning. He gave me a clock in the evening so that I could wake up at six. Ko Chit Toe's wife didn't approve of what Ko Chit Toe was doing these days. It's not my business. It's not my job. She doesn't like what the elders want to do. Ko Chit Toe and Ko Kyaw Than live in the same neighborhood, and they are also business friends, so it's true that they are friends. Maung Kyaing, who is now asking for a wife, has nothing to do with Ko Chit Toe. Maung Kyaing is a disciple of Ko Kyaw Than, the owner of the iron smelting plant. He is a young man who comes to work from another village. Ko Kyaw Than is asking for a wife for his disciple, so he calls Ko Chit Toe and promises to go with him. Ko Chit Toe's wife, Ma Khaing Wa, did not believe this.

"It's not my business, it's not my business. I have to buy things at the store, and I don't care about the monastery issue, but I'm one step ahead of others." "Huh... Mi Khaing, it's his business, so it's my business. I'm asking you to be an adult in the matter of the Myint, so why not call Ko Kyaw Than?"

"I'm looking for the spear-tip dragonfly, but I'm still wondering what it's like to say something."

"I don't know how to say wedding vows, so I'll just say "Dana"." "It doesn't matter... Oh, right?"

Ko Chit Toe is the owner of a big store. As much as he is rich, he has a social and religious mind, so he suddenly becomes the treasurer. This matter is not a treasurer, but a social one. I will follow him. Ko Chit Toe also did not know that Ko Kyaw Than's disciple who said he would take a wife was just talking. Since he was like Ko Kyaw Than, Maung Kyaw Ma Thi thought that it was not a problem. And Maung Kyaing came to Mandalay to work and eat, but he asked for a lover who had a family and a father, so Ko Chit Toe believed that those who could afford it would be good to surround themselves with them, and surrounding them would bring merit.

"Wait... Maung Kyaing, where is the place where you are going to ask for a wife?" "I'm just talking about the back of the Wicca, what village?" "What do the girl's parents do?" "What do they do?" "When will the wedding be held?" "When... I don't know."

Ko Chit Toe doesn't answer all women's questions with a straight answer. He says, "Here and there... that and there." The woman is not sure. If she doesn't know, she will go with him, so she gets up early, takes a bath, applies powder, sprinkles perfume, puts on a clean, white shirt, and wears a green silk scarf. She puts on green velvet slippers, drinks a hot cup of coffee made by a girl from the shop, and waits in front of the house for the car. At about half past six, the car hasn't arrived yet, but Maung Kyaing arrives. The elders wake her up. The groom-to-be hasn't changed his clothes yet. The man who will be the groom is very diligent, so the wife-to-be is worried. Once, Ma Khaing asked Maung Kyaing.

"Wait... Are you a disciple of Ko Kyaw Than, Maung Kyaing?" "Yes, sister, I told the elders to get ready." "I want... the person who will ask for a wife is not ready yet. Our house is preparing alms before the crows wake up. Wait, where is your village?" "It's a small village... in the west of Sagaing."

Sagaing is not far from Mandalay, so I'm sure Ko Chit Toe will return early, so I won't ask him any further. It's someone else's wedding, so it's not a good idea to talk about it. But I winked at Ko Chit Toe. Maung Kyaing went back, and half an hour later, Ko Kyaw Than's car arrived.

Many adults also came on the back of the pickup truck. The groom, Maung Kyaing, Maung Kyaw’s teacher, Ko Kyaw Than, Maung Kyaw’s close relative, Daw Ngwe, Ko Kyaw Win, and the Chinese man, Ko Wein. The rest, like Ko Chit Toe, were U Kyaw Dun, the former school principal, who had come with Ko Kyaw Than, and U No Tin, a fat man. There were not many people. Maung Kyaing and his aunt, Daw Ngwe, were put in the back of the truck, and Ko Chit Toe climbed onto the back of the truck on the long sword. Since they were all dignified and respectable adults, Ko Chit Toe greeted his wife with a respectful, respectful, and hard-working expression.

"Come on, come on.. Ko Chit Toe, the party won't be a success without you... come on."

My wife knew what he was talking about, and sat down among the people with a big smile. The fat man U No Tin took a seat for three people, so I wondered why Ko Kyaw Than had to get in his car. Ko Kyaw Than said that he was his student and drove his own car. In the front room, when they reached Sagaing Bridge at eight o'clock, they talked to each other and went away, which was fun. The fat man U No Tin started singing in his blue voice, "Razlanadi .. Irrawaddy .. Zeyar Pyi ... Sagaing Mountain ... All around ... Pagoda pagodas ... bring benefits .. ancestral heritage ..." Ko Chit Toe even raised his hands. He started to walk towards all the Sagaing Mountain pagodas he could see from afar. The car also had a big bag of betel nut, about the size of a bag of rice, and everyone was eating it, and Maung Kyaing was looking back through the car window. His big mouth was so big that it was almost touching his ears. He was so handsome.

"Even if you put a lemon in my mouth, Maung Kyaing, it wouldn't touch my tongue or my mouth, Maung Chit Toe."

The school principal, U Kyaw Dun, spoke up, and Ko Chit Toe supported him. "This guy's taking a woman lightly, Master, it'll be like throwing a piece of dried fruit in the future." "But where will you go? Brother, the dried fruit will definitely go to hell." The Chinese U Bein got in and hugged him, and they were both in a daze.

When we arrived in Sagaing, we first found a tire shop to fill up our car. There were so many people that our tires were about to go flat. While we were filling up our car at one point, Ko Kyaw Than asked his student. We had arrived in Sagaing. He asked which road to take to the village we were going to.

"Where should I break it?" "If you go out from the back of the five-story pagoda, you can get it, sir." "What did you say, sir? Don't you know the village where you will marry the woman?" "I have never been there. My girlfriend said that it is in the fields in the heart of Sagaing." "Hey, sir..." Ko Chit Toe heard that he was a student. Wait, which village would you like to go and find girls from? Where would you like them and where would you plan to beg? Isn't it strange that the groom can't effectively tell the bride's village?

"What is the name of the village or the fields?" "The name of the village." "You're right, right?"

Ko Chit Toe asked the young men at the shop, but they didn’t know. There are hundreds of villages west of Sagaing, and there must be some. I think I heard a woman picking rice not far away, and the field was deep inside. Ko Chit Toe was happy when he said there was a village. I asked to make sure, and Maung Kyaing said that he would see it if he came out from the west of the Five-storey pagoda. So they got out of the car. When they got out, they saw the road, but the road was in bad condition.

But it was still driving, so we passed two or three villages and when we looked ahead, we couldn't see any villages. We could only see a vast plain that stretched to the horizon. The road didn't disappear. It seemed like we would get there if we continued on the same path. So we gave it to the woman who came out of the market. The market didn't have a big basket. She was also a very good person, so she answered briefly.

"When the field is big.... that big tree will grow" The village. There is a road. That big tree will grow, so there is no mistake, Ko Kyaw Than drove along. From the beginning of the road, there was not even a single bit of asphalt. The road was like a shrimp pond, and the soft ground was full of big cracks and holes. Even though it was a cart, it was not even a cart, but Ko Kyaw Than drove along with the car, moving one foot to the other, one foot to the other. The car was like a hammock. It was still swaying and rattling. The people in the car were like putting gooseberries in rice porridge.

The old schoolmaster, Ko Duduk, was so upset that he shouted. Ko Chit Toe, who was also holding the steering wheel tightly with his hand, was like a bean plant swaying north when the north wind blew, and south when the south wind blew. At one point, there was a big puddle in front of us, a puddle so big that even a big elephant could sleep in it. The driver, Ko Kyaw Than, was looking at the puddle from the center, looking at it from one side to the other. Since he couldn't see anything, he stopped the car and got out.

"Why, Ko Kyaw Than?"

Ko Chit Toe was a thin man, so he jumped out of the car and looked at the road ahead, asking. He didn't even need to answer. Ko Chit Toe saw it. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to cross that big puddle, and it wouldn't be possible if he didn't cross it. The sun was also hot. He had already crossed two or three villages, and the journey was long. And this was a matter of marriage. He had to ask the other parent, the whole family, the father and the mother, and the elders, for permission. It would only happen in time.

"Maung Kyaing, you are having a heart attack at your wedding."

Ko Chit Toe, who likes Sai Htee Sai songs, said that he was stuck in the heart. Maung Tae also didn't seem to have considered his stomach on his wedding night. Not knowing what to do, he sat down because his stomach was hurting. Maung Kyin Phrut, a woman who came alone, couldn't stand it among the big men, so she went a little further and sat down to urinate.

"My dear brother, you are so beautiful that you are so beautiful that you are so beautiful."

Ko Chit Toe was beating Maung Kyaing in a way that was supposed to be a joke, but the men who came in the car also stopped the car.

They went one after the other. Ko Kyaw Than chose the side that would be wide enough for the car to drive on. He chose it, but he didn't want to miss a car on the other side. He figured that it would be enough to pick up the dirt and stones on the side of the road, about one wheel wide. He also told me his idea.

"If you just go around, I think you'll have to dig up the large rocks on the side, about a hundred feet deep. People don't climb up. If you're just a car, the ground won't be low enough."

That's how it was, the well-dressed and well-dressed adults had to carry large boulders of earth one by one on the side of the road. The sun was hot, they wore big, thick coats, and silk scarves, but they thought they could carry two and a half boulders each, and they had to carry them several times. The hands were also falling. When they had enough, Ko Kyaw Than started the car and drove off at high speed. The boulders were hard and hard, but the weight of the car made them bend. When the car stopped on a slope, they ran to the side of the car and stood on the slope. While they were still standing, they drove on and hugged the car and left. "Wow.." They shouted happily over the sounds of sweat. Since they had crossed the puddle, they could go forward anyway. Crossing the puddle was good, No one knows how far it is from Maung Kyaing's mother-in-law's village. No one knows how many more mud pits there are left. When everyone got into the car, no one could say a word. The fat man, U No Tin, was a big, air-tight pot.

"Chee... I didn't work so hard when I got married, I got Latin. I was a disciple of Kyaw Than, so I called people "stupid" and said "no"."

No one can laugh at me for saying that. Even if I say it like that, no one in my house is a person who does not do yoga. I don't even ride a bicycle, and I don't even think about the adults in the neighborhood.
