00:00To whom it will be interesting in the future, I would like to shortly describe how our fathers
00:20lived, how we live, what is the situation between the nations in our country and in
00:26our village, different events, moral and spiritual, in the nature, air, space and many more.
00:56Young men are very shy. They watch the girls secretively as the girls make their crafts.
01:10One pinches the chosen girl lightly or flirts with her by taking the thread away from the
01:18or if she's knitting, takes her needle away. He later runs after her to walk her back home,
01:27but is still too shy to enter her family's house.
01:40If and when the time for marriage comes, the man's mother will bake a round black rye bread.
02:10And buy a nice babushka shawl. The mother wraps the bread in babushka.
02:31Then she goes together with her son and Marshal, who takes half a liter of vodka to the girl's family home.
02:41It all happens secretly at night, so the other village inhabitants don't see them.
02:49Once they get there, they don't say straight away what the reason is for their visit.
02:57Marshal starts the subtle conversation. I have heard that you've had a cow for sale.
03:04Maybe there is one. If you like it, we can bargain.
03:11The Marshal puts the bread and vodka on the table, and they all start feasting.
03:24The boy sits next to the girl, but they don't talk.
03:28They just shyly look at each other and listen to what their elders are saying.
03:38The Marshal discusses the dowry. He might demand, for instance, fields, cows, wood to build a house.
03:52If the girl's father accepts the demands, both sides agree the union.
03:59They sit, drink, and talk like that until the sun rises.
04:22The End
