Chapter 132: The top aesthetics of our ancestors
"What time is it? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Zhijie, go to the village entrance and see if your sister and brother-in-law have come back?"
In Shifeng Village, Xia's mother kept looking outside, while looking at the clock hanging on the wall.
The style of this clock is a bit old, but it was wiped clean by Xia's mother.
Boys of Xia Zhijie's age are as naughty as monkeys. If they are not beaten for three days, they will fall off the roof.
Jumping up and down is normal.
When he heard what Xia's mother said, he immediately jumped out.
"Hey, I'll go check at the entrance of the village now!"
Xia Kexin stood on tiptoe, "How about I go?"
Mother Xia glanced at her and said, "Why are you leaving? You stay and help."
Xia Kexin pouted, "Why should I stay home and work while my younger brother runs errands? And you say that sons and daughters are the same?"
Mother Xia paused, "He's a boy, and you're a girl. How did your father and I treat you since you were young? Why are you different?"
"Boys and girls will be different in the future. Whose girl runs around like a monkey?"
Xia Kexin curled her lips.
Mother Xia glanced at her again and said, "If you are tired, go back and rest. Mother didn't ask you to help."
"It's your sister's day, not only did you not help, but you also made things more troublesome for me."
Xia Kexin didn't say anything, but she didn't go back to rest either.
After all, today is her eldest sister's good day. She was just talking and she also wanted to be the first to see her eldest sister, so she wanted to go to the village entrance to see her. She only said something sour because she was rejected by her own mother. She didn't really think that her parents were not good to her.
She wandered around the big stove absentmindedly, wondering what her elder sister was wearing today.
Whenever there is a wedding in the village, the children like to go in groups to see the bride.
In Xia Kexin's impression, the bride is very beautiful, and it is also the most glorious moment for a woman.
But my sister must be the most beautiful bride!
Just as she was thinking about this, she heard her younger brother Xia Zhijie's duck voice, "My sister is back, my sister is back!"
Xia Kexin threw away what she had in her hand and ran away.
Mother Xia: ...
"This child is so old, but she is not as stable as her sister. What will happen in the future? Who would want a girl who is so naughty?"
In response to this, Xia's father's mentality became much calmer. "Well, today is Daya's good day, so you should say less."
As soon as he said this, Xia's mother's eyes instantly turned red.
"I was still thinking about our eldest daughter when she was just born. She was so tiny, nestling in my arms and suckling my milk. Now, in the blink of an eye, she's getting married!"
Father Xia was also a little sad when he heard this. He comforted his wife, "A good day for the child, why are you talking about this? Can you still keep your daughter for the rest of her life?"
Hearing this, Mother Xia glared at her husband and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The couple also hurried out to greet them.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I felt dazzled by the young girl in front of me.
Mother Xia covered her eyes and tears fell again.
“It looks good, really good!”
Xia Kexin had already rushed over excitedly, "Oh my God! I want to wear clothes like my sister when I get married in the future!"
Mother Xia: ...
This damn girl! What are you talking about?
She just married off one daughter and hasn’t even recovered yet, but now her second daughter is in a hurry to get married?
Bah! Bah! Bah!
Xia Keqing herself didn't expect that Shen Jichuan would actually arrange this dress for her.
It is said that it was handmade by a master craftsman in Shengjing and took several months to customize.
But is it okay to wear this kind of clothes in this era?
Never mind, as long as it looks good.
This is a Chinese-style dress with a double-breasted collar, heavily embroidered, and a red background. It is embroidered with gold and black silk threads with patterns that represent beautiful meanings, and the skirt is a multi-panel horse-faced skirt style.
Xia Keqing had never studied Chinese dresses and didn't know much about the styles.
It just looks good anyway.
The master craftsman from the army was very skilled. He tied her hair into a pair of buns, and inserted red silk flowers and gold jewelry in the buns, which seemed to be real gold.
In fact, there is a story about this dress that Xia Keqing doesn't know.
Due to some historical issues, when the restrictions were just lifted in the 1980s, most old items were kept hidden and dared not be shown in public. Chinese dresses like this are certainly considered "old items."
But Xie Zhiheng was a soldier in the army, and the old tailor had received favors from the Xie family in the past, so he was one of their own.
The Xie family wants it for military officers to get married?
That's okay.
The master craftsman then started to make the dress.
Facts have proved that our ancestors’ aesthetic taste was absolutely top-notch.
When this dress was worn, the entire Shifeng Village was shocked.
Some people are secretly jealous and report quietly, but what’s the use of reporting? Shen Laosan is a regimental-level cadre. When other cadres get married, their wives wear beautiful clothes. You say that there is something wrong with the clothes and that they are rubbish?
I’m afraid your heart is too dirty!
Xia Keqing didn't know yet that she was leading a new trend...
"Okay, if you like this dress, I'll keep it for you later."
Xia Keqing also liked this suit very much. It was specially brought back from the army by Shen Jichuan, so there must be no problem with it.
Leaving it to my sister also has a good meaning.
There is no such thing as being bad to wear someone else's old clothes at this time.
It seems that there is no such thing in later generations. Don’t many brides in later generations also rent dresses for their wedding?
Xia Kexin almost jumped up when she heard this, "Really?"
Xia Keqing laughed, "Of course, you are my only sister, if I don't leave it to you, who should I leave it to?"
Xia Kexin then thought of asking about the origin of the dress, "Sister, where did you get this dress?"
Xia Keqing thought for a moment and said, "Your brother-in-law brought it from the army."
Everyone exclaimed, it turned out that it was the troops! No wonder it looks so good!
Xia Kexin hesitated, "Brother-in-law prepared these clothes for you. If you leave them to me, will he have any objections?"
Xia Keqing burst out laughing, "Aren't clothes meant to be worn?"
"I have no other occasions to wear such a formal dress except for weddings. If I don't lend it to you, will it just hang in the closet and gather dust?"
Xia Kexin also thought so after hearing this.
Besides, she is my sister-in-law, so I'm sure my brother-in-law won't have any objections.
Just now when she went to pick up her sister, she bumped into a soldier. The man looked so fierce!
It seems that not all soldiers are good people!
A thought flashed through Xia Kexin's mind.
Soon, his attention was attracted by the clothes on his sister.
…
That night, a middle-aged couple who claimed to be Han Feng's parents came to the county hospital and met Xia's family.
Speaking of which, the Xia family is also very interesting.
Their son-in-law had a broken bone, and they had to go back to the village for a banquet.
According to Aunt Xia, they had previously invited the Xia family to a banquet at a hotel, and this time they just invited the entire village to a buffet in the village. It was already a disadvantage in the first place, and if they didn't eat more and bring back more, they would be at an even greater disadvantage.
So Uncle Xia and his wife, as well as Xia Wei, all returned to the village.
They also tried their best to invite the Han couple to the village for a banquet.
All the buffets in the village are anonymous.
Moreover, they could not chase away uninvited guests. Basically, people who held banquets in the village did not care about the gift money. The ingredients prepared by the Chen and Xia families this time were very rich.
This is also one of the reasons why Mr. and Mrs. Xia are jealous.
Surprisingly, the Han couple agreed.
Xia Feifei: ...
"You are in this state now, and your parents are still going back to the village with my parents for a feast?"
Xia Feifei found it a bit ridiculous.
Han Feng's face looked a little ugly, but he still explained: "I'm fine. Didn't the doctor say it was just a fracture? I've put on a cast. They're fine here."
Xia Feifei glanced at him and said, "Then I'll go back too?"
Han Feng: ...
