Chapter 133: Ceremony
Xia Feifei didn't go back in the end.
But when the Xia family returned, their eyes turned red with jealousy.
Xia Keqing was rich, and Xia's parents also had some savings, and with the extra money from their daughter, they were not stingy at all when it came to the purchase.
The Shen family was particularly satisfied with this.
The two families are equally matched, so this marriage seems sincere.
Relatively speaking, in recent years, the Xia family is not as good as the Shen family.
But the Xia family prepared such a rich meal, which was enough to prove their satisfaction with Mr. Shen and this marriage.
The lunch is a banquet at the woman’s “parents’ home”.
The wedding ceremony is at night.
However, after the bride and groom return, the groom's family will give gifts to the bride's family.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the Shen family gave the Xia family "nine hundred and ninety-nine" in cash, symbolizing that the marriage would last a long time and they would live happily together until old age.
It also symbolizes the long-lasting friendship between the two families.
This betrothal gift is not small.
But it’s not much.
After all, Xia Feifei and her husband received three thousand yuan in betrothal money yesterday.
Compared to the three thousand betrothal gift, nine hundred and ninety-nine is not so shocking.
In this era, the betrothal fee for local girls was generally a few hundred yuan, ranging from two hundred to five hundred yuan.
So although 999 stands out, it is not much.
There is nothing to envy or be jealous of the Xia couple.
But the things unloaded from those six jeeps were really eye-catching.
Refrigerators, washing machines, color TVs, bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and a whole host of home appliances and furniture.
The villagers said that Shen Laosan was an honest man and they wanted to move the furniture market in the county town here.
In addition to the traditional 28-inch bicycle I gave my father-in-law, I also gave him a women's bicycle with a basket. I think it would be very convenient for a woman to use.
Even Shen's mother felt a little sour.
This son has been stubborn and disobedient since he was young, and he doesn't like to talk to his family.
A black boy, a crazy boy.
After he joined the army and was no longer with her son, Shen's mother had no hope for this son.
If the son raised by your side is not close to his parents, how can you expect the child raised by the country to be close to you?
Out of filial piety, I am willing to respect them, so this child is not raised in vain.
But the facts proved that the child was not born in vain.
This child is loyal and righteous, and he is also good to the girl from the Xia family.
However, Chen Ju, who was standing behind the crowd and protected by her sister, was a little confused. She asked her sister, "Third brother, is he very nice to Miss Xia?"
Chen Lan's mind is not as delicate as her sister Chen Ju.
When I heard this, I subconsciously said, "Yeah, it's pretty good. I don't even have a women's bicycle!"
She didn't mean any harm, she was just being sarcastic.
As a sister-in-law, this is inevitable.
It is said that girls always have a period of adjustment after their brothers get married.
After all, her own brother or younger brother is the most important. The female role other than the mother is no longer her, and she always feels a little uncomfortable.
That's what Shen Lan thought. Her third brother bought a women's bicycle for his third sister-in-law's family, but she doesn't have one yet.
But she was just a little jealous, it's normal.
I quickly realized that I, Chen Lan, have a job. I can easily buy a gold bracelet worth a few hundred dollars. Why would I need a bicycle?
It would be much more convenient to go home if I had a bicycle, right?
I'll save some money and use it for myself.
But Chen Ju's thoughts were more delicate.
Logically speaking, the third brother and the girl from the Xia family had never met before they got engaged.
My third brother joined the army when he was a teenager. Could it be that he did this because he was satisfied with the person my parents arranged for him?
Chen Ju always felt that there must be other reasons why her third brother attached so much importance to Miss Xia.
For example, have these two been "hooking up" from the beginning?
But my third brother is seven years older than Miss Xia. When my third brother was still at home, Miss Xia and her runny-nosed little sister were still young!
It would be a joke to say there is something between these two people.
If her third brother had hooked up with the girl from the Xia family at that time, wouldn't Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia have beaten her third brother to death?
Chen Ju couldn't figure it out.
But her younger sister is careless and heartless.
Asking her will definitely yield no results.
So Shen Ju simply didn't ask.
However, there are naturally many people who have the same doubts as Chen Ju.
"The Shen family raised this son in vain. The Xia family and their spouses are smart. Although they only gave birth to a son, they have everything with Shen Lao San, a half-son."
I have to say that the person who said this is despicable.
This statement was quickly recognized by Aunt Xia.
Her tone became even more sour, "Tsk tsk, Fang Yuqin, you are so scheming. You only asked for a betrothal gift of over 900 yuan, but you let your son-in-law buy so many things for your family! These things add up to several thousand yuan! It's really a huge profit!"
"If raising a daughter is as profitable as your family, I think we should not have sons. Sons are money-losing. We should just have daughters!"
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became.
Even though her daughter got married with a dowry of 3,000 yuan and the wedding was held in a hotel in the county, her good son-in-law didn't give her anything except the dowry.
This is the difference between being attentive and not being attentive.
People are often like this. They don't compare and don't think there is anything wrong with their own son-in-law.
My daughter is so capable that she can even find a rich husband when she goes to the county town.
But after making a comparison, I realized that my son-in-law was too perfunctory.
Look at them, this is what it means to care and to put your heart into someone else’s daughter!
The more Aunt Xia thought about it, the angrier she became. She even lost her good attitude towards Han's father and mother, especially entrepreneurs!
Mr. and Mrs. Han:?
They came here with a mission. In addition to seeing their son, they also wanted to see the "female workers" their son had hired this time.
As a result, they suddenly discovered that the way their "relatives" looked at them was different.
Han's father and mother, to be exact, these two people are indeed related to Han Feng by blood, and they are Han Feng's uncle and aunt.
His parents are old and it is not easy for them to go out to "work".
My uncle and aunt took over the task.
After the two came over, they didn't spend much time alone with Han Feng, but they knew what they had done, so they didn't show any fear and just shamelessly pretended they knew nothing.
Mother Xia was so angry that her face turned black, and she really wanted to pounce on her sister-in-law and tear her mouth apart.
But thinking that today was a good day for my daughter and I couldn't let it be ruined by such a person, I forced myself not to lose my temper.
Xia Kexin couldn't stand it.
Just as she was about to explode, she grabbed Xia Keqing's wrist.
Xia Keqing shook her head at her, and the little girl couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Xia Keqing shook her head firmly, and Xia Kexin had to give up.
Xia Keqing raised her head and looked at Aunt Xia, who raised her chin provocatively. Then she heard her nerdy niece laugh and say, "Oh, Aunt Xia, isn't your family at a big loss?"
"Cousin Feifei found such a good son-in-law, why didn't your son-in-law buy these things for your family?"
"Mr. Shen in our family said that it was his blessing to marry a good girl like me. He was willing to buy anything for my family. I thought cousin Feifei would also meet such a good man like me!"
"But unfortunately, it seems that I misunderstood!"
