Another vehicle my villagers used in the seventies is called 大车(dàchē) and it was a kind of cattle-pulled vehicle.

It was also made of wood, with iron nails and iron hoops that made wooden sticks together. It had four wheels and the wheels were also made of wood.

It was the main means of transportation that was used to transport crops, farm tools and farmyard manure.

One of the most important uses of it was to pick up brides.

Back then, it was the most advanced means of transportation in the countryside. So people always use it to pick up brides when young men get married.

On the days that to pick up brides, people would stick a few big red 囍 (means happiness) on the 大车(dàchē), and also, people would tie a few pieces of red cloth around the cattle’s neck. Those cattle would pull the 大车 to the brides’ villages.

According to Chinese traditions, red color means lucky and happy.

We kids like that people get married because at weddings, we could receive a little candy and also, we would be treated to a big meal.

It's unclear what is meant by "that made wooden sticks together"; that made them knock together perhaps?

It had four wheels and the wheels were also made of wood, too.

On the days that towhere brides were picked up brides, people would stick a few big red 囍 (meansing happiness) on the 大车(dàchē), and also, peoplethey would also tie a few pieces of red cloth around the cattle’ow's neck.

"On wedding days..." presumably? Also, cattle is typically used as an uncountable noun.

Those cattle would pull the 大车 to the brides’ villages.

This makes it sound like multiple brides would be on the cart at any given time. Presumably it's particular to a single bridge? If so, then: "to the bride's village"

According to Chinese traditions, red color meansymbolises lucky and happyiness.

We kids like that people get married because at weddings, we could receive a littlsome candy and also, we would be treated to a big meal.
