Chapter 227 If There Was No Marriage Exchange
Today, Su Wensong and Sun Lanlan’s wedding was held in the largest hotel in Ancheng County, and Lin Chuxia also suggested decorating it.
Although there was no rainbow gate and flower basket like in later generations, the wedding of Su Wensong and Sun Lanlan was still prominently marked at the entrance.
Even among the people in the city, very few would book a hotel to hold a wedding at that time. Su Wensong lavishly booked the entire hotel and set off so many firecrackers at the door that curious people stood not far away, ready to see who the bride and groom were.
Li Hongmei came to the county town to stroll around. Seeing a crowd gathered not far away, she walked over to watch the fun.
When I heard that a family had booked the entire hotel to hold their wedding, I was filled with envy.
Book the entire hotel for your wedding?
She has never been to such a big restaurant to eat in her life. How much does this table of food cost?
People in the city can actually book an entire hotel to hold a wedding and cater for everyone.
Li Hongmei grew up being spoiled by her family. Other families favored boys over girls, but her mother treated her like a treasure. She knew from a young age that she was different from other girls in the village.
No matter how different we are, we are all rural people who work hard in the fields. Every time I come to the factory and see those city people dressed neatly, I envy them.
After the reform and opening up, Li Hongmei, who was already a young girl, increasingly yearned for the life of city dwellers.
But she has no father and her mother is not very capable, so she can't find her a job in the city.
The only way is to find a city man, marry him and become a city dweller.
Just like what is happening right now, wearing the most beautiful clothes, being watched by people from all over the county, receiving their envious looks.
Just as I was thinking about it, I looked up and saw Lin Chuxia standing at the door.
Li Hongmei knew Lin Chuxia. They were of the same age, with Lin Chuxia only one grade higher than her.
There are few children in Xiaoqingshan Village, and the village primary school only goes up to the third grade. In the fourth grade, children have to go to the neighboring Daqingshan Village to attend classes.
Lin Chuxia is a good student and teachers often use her as an example to encourage students.
When Li Hongmei went to school in Daqingshan Village, she often heard the teacher praising Lin Chuxia. Although she had never spoken to her, she knew Lin Chuxia.
When the matchmaker told her brother that his girlfriend was Lin Chuxia from Daqingshan Village, Li Hongmei was very much looking forward to it.
That good student praised by the teacher, no matter how well she studied, ended up becoming her sister-in-law, right?
If you marry into the Li family, you have to please your sister-in-law.
Even at night
I have thought about how to embarrass Lin Chuxia countless times. The more I think about it, the more excited I become. I feel quite proud.
Who would have known that in the end the marriage was changed and the person who married her brother was Lin Jiayi.
Li Hongmei looked at Lin Chuxia, who was wearing a neat women's suit, a style she had never seen in the mall.
He was standing at the door of the hotel and talking to someone next to him.
Although she and Lin Jiayi are biological sisters, they have different temperaments.
She was very noble in every move she made, and people around her seemed to listen to her. She was just like the big boss on TV.
Just as I was thinking about it, someone said, "Here it comes."
I saw two cars coming from the distance. The one in front was a sedan with a big red flower hanging on the front of the car.
Nowadays, if someone gets married in a car, the bride and groom must be important people, or the sons or daughters of important people.
Li Hongmei sighed, it was worthy of a city person’s marriage.
You have to know that when people in their village get married, as long as the distance is not far, most of them ride bicycles to pick up the bride, driving a tractor is also a good option, and some even ride ox carts.
She was the one who got married in a ox cart, because the road was long and riding a bicycle was inconvenient, and the Ma family couldn't find a tractor.
Shaking all this off, Li Hongmei tiptoed, stretched her neck and watched the car drive slowly to the front of the hotel and stop.
The rear door of the car opened, and the groom in a suit got out from one side. He had an upright posture and an imposing manner, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.
After getting out of the car, the groom nodded to the people in front of the hotel, then walked around the front of the car, came to the other side of the car, and opened the back door.
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Look, look, the bride is coming down."
"The groom looks so energetic, the bride must be very beautiful."
"The bride's dress is really beautiful. The material seems to be a new style from the south. I saw it in a department store in the city last time."
…………
Li Hongmei first saw a white arm reaching out from the car, and the small hand resting on the man’s big hand.
Then a leg came down, along with a corner of the dress, and the red dress was as beautiful as fire.
When the bride came down, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, but Li Hongmei just stood there in a daze.
Sun Lanlan? The bride turned out to be Sun Lanlan? ? Sun Lanlan from the Daqingshan Village next door? ? ?
By the way, she seemed to have heard from her sister that Sun Lanlan was going to get married.
I didn't expect that Sun Lanlan would marry a city guy, and with such a grand ceremony.
Sun Lanlan and the groom walked to the door of the hotel. They nodded to Lin Chuxia and said something.
She knew that Sun Lanlan and Lin Chuxia were good friends, but their attitude was nothing like that of good friends, especially the groom, who looked more like a junior treating an elder or a subordinate treating a leader.
She thought about the rumors she had heard...
Li Hongmei stood there blankly until the crowd at the hotel entrance dispersed.
During this period, she often went back to her parents' home and had many conflicts with Lin Jiayi.
She admitted that she brought up the marriage exchange just to make herself angry at Lin Jiayi for arranging such a marriage for her.
But after all, knowing that Lin Chuxia had become capable in the Qin family, there was still a little bit of anxiety in my heart...
If the marriage had not been exchanged, if Lin Chuxia was her sister-in-law, would things have been different?
…………
Lin Chuxia looked at Su Wensong, who was in high spirits, and Sun Lanlan, who was beside him and looked shy and happy, with a smile on her lips and a feeling of melancholy in her heart.
Sun Lanlan finally found her happiness, Su Wensong is a man worthy of trust.
The restaurant for today has been booked by Su Wensong. The hall is filled with joy. Most of the people attending the wedding are their colleagues and neighbors of the Su family.
Grandma Su sat in the main seat in the hall, watching the newlyweds walk in from outside with a smile on her face.
Qin Han acted as the master of ceremonies today, calling the two newlyweds to come forward.
First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other...
Although it is a new era and policies have been relaxed in the past two years, these tunes have been picked up again.
The most important thing is that the guests present today are all familiar faces, and everyone is relaxed, so the party is naturally lively.
After paying respects to the heaven and earth, before Biden's wedding guests, Grandma Su suggested that Lin Chuxia sit in her seat so that Su Wensong and Sun Lanlan could pay their respects to Lin Chuxia.
In Grandma Su's view, Lin Chuxia is not only Su Wensong's colleague and leader, but also his benefactor and the benefactor of their Su family.
If it weren't for Lin Chuxia, they wouldn't be able to live the good life they have now, and they wouldn't be able to marry a beautiful and considerate granddaughter-in-law like Sun Lanlan.
When Grandma Su said this, the people around her applauded.
Lin Chuxia felt a little embarrassed, "That's not necessary."
"Of course, of course," Grandma Su said repeatedly.
Su Wensong looked at Lin Chuxia with a smile, while Sun Lanlan was more direct.
"Xia Xia, please sit down and accept Lao Su and I's greeting. Although we are the protagonists today, Lao Su and I wouldn't be here today without you."
Lin Chuxia was pushed to the main seat. She no longer hesitated and sat down to serve as the witness at Su Wensong and Sun Lanlan's wedding and accepted their greetings.
After the wedding ceremony was completed, everyone took their seats in a lively manner. At this moment, three people walked in from outside the door.
