Chapter 125 Pie in the Head
The four-star hotel in the county town is indeed extraordinary.
After all, it was used exclusively to receive foreign guests before it was opened.
Like everyone else in Shifeng Village, Xia Keqing was very curious about Xia Feifei's partner.
Xia Kexin held her sister Xia Keqing's wrist tightly throughout the whole process, with a look of vigilance on her face.
People who didn't know thought she was seeking revenge.
Xia Keqing tapped her nose helplessly, "Don't be nervous, relax, we are here to eat and take advantage!"
Xia Kexin's grip loosened a little, and she immediately looked pained, "What kind of advantage are you taking? If we were to drink in our village, it would be two or three yuan at most, but now I have to pay ten yuan!"
Xia Keqing: ...
In the early 1980s, wedding gifts were generally two or three yuan. Close friends and relatives would give five yuan, and even close relatives would give a maximum of fifty yuan.
Xia Pingshan and Xia Pinghai are brothers who have fallen out with each other and usually do not interact with each other. Even when they came to attend Xia Feifei's wedding this time, they only gave ten dollars.
This is because the wedding banquet was held in a four-star hotel in the county town.
After all, Xia Pinghai also has to save face and doesn't want people to gossip about him.
They have invited you to dinner in a four-star hotel, and you still give them two or three dollars. That's too little!
At the same time, adhering to the principle of giving a gift to each household and the idea of trying to eat back as much of the gifts given out, almost the entire village came out in full force this time.
The Xia family is no exception.
There are five people in the Xia family, and all of them are here.
But this kid Xia Zhijie disappeared in an instant.
Xia Kexin likes to stick to her sister, and Xia's father and mother don't want to walk with the two sisters.
"Then eat more and earn back the money we gave you. Pack up whatever you can't finish."
Xia Kexin looked solemn and nodded heavily, looking extremely cute.
Xia Keqing couldn't help but pinch her face.
Xia Kexin's face turned red, "Stop pinching, it's already red!"
It seems that many people think the same as Xia Keqing, they eat as much as they can and pack up the food to take away if they can't finish it.
This is stuff from a four-star hotel, we can’t waste it!
You also have to be worthy of the money you give.
The two looked around for a while, and Xia Kexin asked her sister, "Sister, why don't we look for my brother-in-law and his family? Are they here yet?"
"Shall we sit with them?"
Xia Keqing thought about it and decided that it didn’t matter if they met and sat together, but it was also okay if they didn’t meet and didn’t sit together.
Xia Feifei found such a person and held a banquet here just to show off.
Maybe I even hope that they can sit together, and then it will be enough to show off once.
If they sit separately, they have to show off twice.
Just thinking about it makes me feel tired for her.
Xia Keqing actually guessed Xia Feifei's thoughts.
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia were sitting on a stool in a room of the hotel with Xia Feifei.
Xia Pingshan and his family stayed in the hotel last night, and Xia Feifei got up early in the morning and dressed.
A white lace base shirt, a red suit skirt, and a bridal pearl flower on her head that was very characteristic of the era.
Anyway, she is obviously a bride, dressed very festively.
Li Lihe was so excited looking at her daughter that she didn't know where to put her hands.
She touched the small bag she carried with her, opened it, looked inside, counted the pieces, and said excitedly, "My girl, where did you find your son-in-law? You are so generous!"
This bag may look small, but it actually contains three thousand yuan!
In this era, the bride price for marrying a daughter in the countryside is generally a few hundred yuan.
As a result, the son-in-law Feifei found spent three thousand yuan at once!
What a generous deal!
Moreover, the banquet will be held in a big hotel, and after the banquet, the Xia family can also collect the money for the gift.
Chunchun made a fortune!
Li Lihe looked at her daughter and suddenly regretted that she should have given birth to more daughters. If each of them earned as much as she did, how much money would that be!
It’s a pity that she can’t give birth to more daughters.
She thought regretfully.
But the daughter is married well, and will help her brother in the future. The Xia family is so happy!
Xia Pinghai and Fang Yuqin thought they had found a rich husband?
Now it seems that I am not as good as them!
Xia Pingshan looked honest and simple, but the pride on his face was no less than that of his wife.
It can be seen that he also feels that his family is infinitely better than his younger brother Xia Pinghai's.
Xia Feifei's younger brother Xia Wei was also very excited. He came over with a flattering look on his face, "Sister, my dear sister, where is my sister's wife? Didn't she say she would come at nine o'clock? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Xia Feifei was also a little surprised as it was already past nine o'clock.
However, when meeting a rich boy of this level, Xia Feifei no longer acted pretentiously.
The betrothal gifts have already been received by her mother, and all relatives and friends have been brought to the hotel, so the only thing left is the finishing touch.
To be honest, Xia Feifei herself had the illusion of being hit by a pie.
It’s not that she is a bad person.
Xia Feifei is definitely a beauty.
But to be honest, the probability of a beautiful woman meeting a rich man and getting married immediately after he spends a lot of money is not high.
The other party said that he fell in love with her at first sight, and his grandfather was dying, so he wanted to see him get married and have children soon.
Xia Feifei refused at first.
She was also a little wary. After all, they didn't know each other well enough. How likely was it that such a rich man would give her such a good opportunity?
But the other party was sincere and wanted to have a fake marriage first. To show his sincerity, he held a wedding banquet in a four-star hotel in the county and gave a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan.
He will cover all the expenses for the wedding banquet. You don’t need to bring back the betrothal money, and you don’t need to get the marriage certificate for the time being.
After marriage, both parties will return to the man’s home and live together, so that they can develop feelings.
Wait until you have developed feelings for each other before getting the marriage certificate.
In Xia Feifei's opinion, there was nothing wrong with this. The other party was really a good man who always thought of her!
What's more, when I mentioned it to my parents, they agreed immediately.
And the date was set on the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Just one day earlier than my cousin Xia Keqing.
To be honest, Xia Feifei herself was a little dazed.
She really didn't mean it.
But parents might be.
But it didn't matter, as long as she married well and the wedding banquet was held one day earlier than her cousin's, it didn't matter what harm it might cause her.
Before Xia Feifei could speak, Xia Wei showed her a look and said, "I'll go out and take a look. My brother-in-law must be here."
As luck would have it, Uncle Xia and his family were waiting anxiously in the room when a tall and handsome figure walked in.
Uncle Xia's family had seen this wealthy son-in-law. As soon as she saw him, Aunt Xia's face was full of smiles, "The son-in-law is here!"
…
The bride's wedding banquet is usually held at noon.
If it is the case with the Chen and Xia families, where both the man and woman are from the same village, then two meals will be prepared, at noon and in the evening.
But the Xia family was marrying off their daughter, and although the wedding was held in a hotel, only the lunch was provided.
When the time came, the elders and villagers of Shifeng Village finally met the son-in-law of the Xia family.
What a handsome guy!
Even Xia's father and mother couldn't find any fault with it.
Xia Kexin couldn't help but poke her sister's elbow, saying sourly, "Where did Xia Feifei find such a person..."
"No, was this person deceived by Xia Feifei?"
Xia Keqing: ...
But somehow, she felt that this person looked a little familiar?
