Ng Siu Kei got married in 1973. On the night before his wedding, Ng Siu Kei’s mother ‘combed his hair’ for him, after which he took a bath, put on new clothes and ate glutinous rice balls in line with the traditions of his elders. His brothers made a bed for him while his paternal aunts and the wife of his father’s brother scattered red beans, green beans, peanuts and lotus roots under the blanket shouting out auspicious words as they did so. The next morning, good friends like Ng Chi Wing and Kong Chi Yin decorated his wedding car and arranged for a fleet of four to five vehicles to pick up the bride and her family. The newly-wed couple went home to pay their respects to their ancestors and serve tea to Ng Siu Kei’s parents and paternal aunts and then went inside the Tin Hau Temple to worship. Later that night, the newlyweds served tea to Ng Siu Kei’s elders at the restaurant. The list of those honoured with tea was decided by Ng Siu Kei’s parents with the elders being served according to their seniority. First, it was granduncle Ng Wai Chi who was the oldest and commanded the highest standing. He was followed by Ng Sung Fat, Ng Woon Yin, Ng Tso Hing, Ng Yeung Kin and Lee Foo. As the young couple were busy attending to their guests of honour the whole night, the bride collected a handsome amount with which to start their lives together in lai see lucky money. Afterwards, Ng Siu Kei and his new partner went to pay their respects at the ancestral hall.
