Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1130 Mom Smells So Bad

Secretary Dong patted Xiao Wei's hand: "Thank you. Come back and visit when you have time. I'll be waiting for you."

Xiao Wei smiled and extended his hand to Director Li, who was standing behind Secretary Dong: "Okay, I'll remember that. I definitely won't stand on ceremony with you. Hello, Director Li."

Director Li reached out and grasped Xiao Wei's hand: "May you have a son soon! You must invite Secretary Dong and me to the full moon celebration, otherwise I'll find fault with you."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, okay, definitely."

……

After seeing all the guests off and sending his relatives and friends from the county back to the guesthouse, Xiaowei collapsed onto the hotel sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.

Little Red was completely limp and said, "Don't touch me, let me lie here for a while."

Xia Maosheng said, "You're nothing compared to what you've achieved. You're utterly hopeless. What was the situation between me and Xiao Hui back then? Have you forgotten what you said back then?"

Xiao Hong waved her hand: "I was wrong, I apologize. I'm totally convinced. Anyone who wants to do it again is a coward."

Chen Hui, Chen Xiao, and Xia Maosheng burst into laughter. Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "What do you mean by this? So you were thinking of doing it again?"

Xiao Hong covered her face and said, "I'm so tired my brain has shut down, don't blame me."

Beibei pushed open the door and came in with a big smile: "Mom, you look so pretty today!" She ran to Xiaohong's side and looked at Xiaohong's clothes with her big eyes, her face full of envy and admiration.

Xiaohong said, "Okay, I'll make you a set tomorrow so you can wear it to kindergarten."

Beibei's eyes lit up, but she immediately shook her head: "No, I'm too young to get married now. I'll marry Dad when I grow up."

Xiao Hong chuckled and said, "I've even raised a love rival for myself."

Chen Xiao said, "What's so special about that? My son even said he'd marry me when he grows up."

Chen Hui said, "So, it's like I gave birth to a love rival myself?"

Chen Xiao looked around and asked, "Where's my son?"

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "By the time you look for your son, he'll have long since disappeared. Didn't you see my mom take him away?"

Xia Maosheng stretched and said, "Hey, we've finally accomplished something big this last year. Now all that's missing is my daughter-in-law. Xiaowei, you'd better step up your game and make sure the age gap isn't too big."

Xiao Hong closed her eyes: "Dream on. Don't even think about it. I don't want my daughter to marry a crybaby and a taciturn man."

Chen Xiao said, "This thing is inherited; Lao Xia must have cried a lot when he was a kid. Xiao Hui probably won't cry."

Geng Hui blushed slightly: "No, I used to cry a lot when I was little, I cried every day."

Chen Xiao: "Huh?"

Xia Maosheng laughed: "When I was a kid, I wouldn't cry even if I got my head stuck in a hole."

Chen Hui said, "What do you think? You misunderstood, didn't you? With your limited knowledge, you dare to analyze this and that?"

Xiao Wei asked, "Is everything cleaned up outside? We'll give everyone red envelopes when it's done. Are there many leftovers?"

Geng Hui said, "It'll be a while, there are so many tables. There's probably a lot of leftovers. They've made too many dishes, who makes twenty-six? An Laowu is just being pretentious."

Xiao Wei said, "Take some back with you, and let everyone share the rest. I don't think they'll complain."

Chen Xiao said, "Xiao Hong's done for, she's all limp. Looks like her wedding night is going to be tough. Hey buddy, need some help?"

Xiao Hong waved her hand: "Whatever, I can't use it anymore, but you can take it and use it for a few days if you're interested."

Xiao Wei lifted Bei Bei onto his lap and asked Xia Maosheng, "By the way, where are Tiezi and the others? They haven't been seen since they left."

Xia Maosheng said, "He and Huang Laowu and a few others are playing cards on the side. They're saying it's a no-draw game, capped at 10,000 yuan."

Chen Hui said, "Damn, that's a huge job! What are they going to do with it?"

Xia Maosheng said, "Give it to Beibei. I only overheard it, but they said they didn't know at the time, so they're making up for it."

Beibei clung to Xiaowei's arm and asked, "Daddy Xia, what are you giving me?"

Xia Maosheng said, "Your uncles are pooling money for you; they want to give you some to spend. Do you want some?"

Beibei shook her head: "No, I have money. My mom and dad both have money. Lots of money."

Xiaowei's mother pushed the door open and came in: "I was just wondering why you guys were hiding in this room. Have you seen all the guests off?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yeah, they've all left. Why haven't you left yet?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "This Ranma-jin's money is a mess, even if we don't have to work, we still have to stay here."

Xiao Wei said, "No need, you can all go back. I'll be back after I've finished and sent out the red envelopes. Go back and rest."

Xiaowei's mother said, "Wait a minute. Your Aunt Wang is checking the accounts. Return all the gift money tonight; we won't accept it."

Xiao Hong said, "By the way, what about the wedding gift? What about the 'bride price'? What about the 'receiving the pot' money? I didn't get anything!"

Everyone laughed. Xiaowei's mother said, "This wedding is so unexpected, everyone's been stunned. They've never had a wedding like this before. It's actually quite simple."

Xiao Hong said, "Of course, they just fooled me and that was it. There was no flower-wearing, no changing of address, no catching of the basin, no stepping over the fire basin, none of that. All that practice I did for nothing. Xiao Wei, you didn't even carry me on your back."

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll carry it back later."

Chen Hui asked, "Where's my dad? Where did Uncle Wang and the other old man go? Did they go back?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "Our group just went back to the county with the bus. I didn't really notice your Uncle Wang and your dad. Your mom is in that room, and so is your Aunt Wang."

Xiao Hong asked, "Did my uncle go back over there too?"

Xiaowei's mother said, "They've all gone back. We'll have your uncle come over tonight for another get-together; we don't have time during the day."

Beibei covered her little nose: "Mommy's feet smell so bad." Xiaohong was lying on the sofa, and now she had kicked off her shoes and placed them right next to Xiaowei's legs.

Xiao Hong said, "You wait, you heartless little brat, you still complain about me."

Xiao Wei said, "It really smells. We walked too much today. How about we go get a bath and massage tonight?"

Chen Hui said, "I think that's a good idea. Okay, I'll book a bathhouse so everyone can have a good bath." He took out his phone book and started looking up numbers.

Xia Maosheng said, "How many people are there over there? About sixty, I guess? Adding this one, that makes about a hundred. Tell the driver not to leave; we need to get a large bus there."

Xiaowei's mother said, "This arrangement is fine. It's inconvenient for them to take a bath in the county. It'll be a kind of entertainment. Prepare some fruit, drinks, and food. Make sure everything is taken care of."

Chen Hui said, "Okay, I'll arrange it. Feeding? Brother Long, what are you busy with?"

Xiao Wei glanced at Chen Hui: "Go to his house?"

Chen Hui nodded and said into the phone, "You can close up shop. I've booked the whole place tonight. Come over after dinner. Have someone clean the place thoroughly, prepare some fruit, drinks, beer, and food. There are about a hundred people."

Both men and women are needed; hire several bathhouse attendants. Massage and foot massage services are also available for everyone. Just in case there's no one available. Nothing else, just regular service. If you need more people, go out and borrow some; you can pay them later. That's all.
