Chapter 572: Attending Xu Hao's Wedding
After the vacation began, a few days after the two returned to Yucheng, Xu Hao called to invite them to eat together.
By the time Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan drove to the location, Zhang Peng and Tian Jiajia were already there, as was Xu Hao's girlfriend, Li Hui.
There were six people, exactly three pairs, with no one left over.
After everyone happily drank a few glasses of wine, Xu Hao suddenly announced some good news.
That was that he and Li Hui were preparing to get married, with the date set for the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month; this day was auspicious for weddings and registering a marriage.
Qin Tian and the others were incredibly surprised, then immediately toasted the two and offered their blessings.
The atmosphere became even more lively, and the enthusiasm for drinking grew higher; in the end, Xu Hao and Zhang Peng were both a bit drunk, their tongues tangling as they bickered incoherently.
Fortunately, they all had partners to look after them, and after the meal, the three beauties took on the heavy responsibility of sending them home.
"I didn't expect you to be getting married so soon, it's really great!"
On the drive back, Xia Nuannuan remarked with a beaming smile.
"Indeed!"
Qin Tian nodded with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan glanced at him and suggested, "Then shall we go traveling after we attend their wedding?"
"Sure, it's settled!"
Qin Tian nodded in agreement.
"I've already told my parents; Grandpa and Nainai are getting on in years and don't want to go far, but my mom and dad were very happy to agree. And there's Xia Xue—she was so happy she nearly deafened me, saying she'd drag her suitcase over to find me in a couple of days."
Xia Nuannuan said with a gentle smile.
Qin Tian chuckled and asked, "What? Is she afraid we'll forget her and run off secretly?"
"Isn't that just it!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile.
"This girl, how can she have absolutely no trust between people!"
"Hee hee... when she gets here, I'll tell her you said that!"
"Don't!"
……
……
Time quickly reached the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
Xu Hao and Li Hui's wedding was set to be held in the banquet hall of the largest hotel in Yucheng.
The cost was not low, and holding a wedding during the New Year period was even more expensive.
However, Xu Hao had earned quite a bit from the game-leveling shop he ran in partnership with Qin Tian, and plus, being a bit of a rich second generation himself, his family wasn't short on money, so the display was quite grand.
Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan, Xia Xue who had come along, and Zhang Peng and Tian Jiajia were all sitting together.
Watching the two on stage complete the ceremony under the host's guidance, everyone felt genuinely happy for them.
When the two exchanged wedding rings and embraced and kissed, warm applause suddenly erupted in the banquet hall, sending blessings to the newlyweds.
After the ceremony was completed, the hotel staff began to serve the dishes.
Xu Hao's father had also spared no expense; the food and wine for the wedding banquet were of the highest standard.
All the guests feasted while chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall remained high.
Sitting at the same table as Qin Tian and the others were several of Xu Hao's cousins, as arranged by him.
These few also knew about the shop Qin Tian and Xu Hao ran together, and they also knew he was that famous top scorer in the college entrance exam from Yucheng, so they were quite enthusiastic toward the four of them, constantly raising their glasses to toast.
After a while, the married couple Xu Hao and Li Hui came over to toast, led by Xu's father.
"Uncle, Hao Ge, sister-in-law, congratulations, congratulations!"
Qin Tian was the first to stand up to welcome them, raising his glass to offer his blessings.
"Congratulations, congratulations..."
The others also stood up one after another, holding their glasses.
Xu's father's face was beaming like a blooming flower; he patted Qin Tian on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Little Qin, I have always been very grateful to you. Thanks to you, my son has finally achieved something. I've always wanted to thank you in person, but I never found the opportunity."
"Uncle, look at what you're saying. How is it thanks to me? It's thanks to Hao Ge that I earned my first pot of gold."
Qin Tian smiled modestly.
"Dad, Qin Tian, let's not talk about these things."
Xu Hao spoke up, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Right, right, right, let's not talk about it. Everything is in the wine; everyone together, cheers!"
Xu's father raised his glass and shouted loudly.
"Cheers!!!"
Everyone responded in unison and drank a glass together.
"Thank you all, everyone please sit, eat well and drink well!"
After Xu's father smilingly signaled for everyone to be seated, he took his son and daughter-in-law to the next table to toast.
"Sis, the bride is so beautiful!"
Xia Xue looked at Li Hui, who was wearing a Chinese-style wedding dress over there, and said to Xia Nuannuan with a beaming smile.
"She is!"
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile.
Tian Jiajia gave a gentle smile and teased, "Xia Xue, when your sister and your brother Tian get married, it will be even more beautiful!"
"Giggle... that's a must!"
Xia Xue nodded repeatedly with a spirited expression.
"Jiajia, don't talk nonsense."
Xia Nuannuan's face flushed red, and she shot a reproachful glare at Tian Jiajia.
"Jiajia is right, Brother Tian. I think you two should just get your marriage license the day you graduate."
Zhang Peng suggested with a mischievous smile.
"Brother Zhang Peng, nice idea!"
Xia Xue gave him a thumbs up.
"Zhang Peng, Xiaoxue!"
Xia Nuannuan's face turned crimson, and she glared at the two of them in embarrassment and annoyance.
"I certainly have no objections."
Qin Tian smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Ahhh... why are you joining in on the fun too!"
Xia Nuannuan was about to go crazy.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone at the dining table couldn't help but laugh.
The day after attending Xu Hao's wedding banquet, both families prepared to set off on their trip.
The destination was a winter vacation resort, Sanya!
Although there were too many tourists during the Spring Festival, leading to high prices for hotels, airfare, and all sorts of expenses, which was criticized by many who had traveled there.
But for those who weren't short on money, it was definitely a very good vacation spot.
The four members of the Xia Family, plus Qin Tian and his mother, a group of six, set off fully prepared.
Qin Tian and Lao Xia each drove a car, and the two cars drove to Jiangcheng Airport.
The cars were parked in the airport parking lot.
After picking up their tickets and completing the check-in process, they waited for a while before having their tickets checked to enter the gate and board the plane.
From Jiangcheng to Sanya, it takes about two and a half hours.
After boarding the plane, Xia Xue was so excited she couldn't stop, chirping away like a sparrow.
Qin Tian was responsible for booking the tickets, and he bought business class seats; there were only three seats in a row, one on the left and two on the right, which was very spacious.
The three parents sat in the front row, while Qin Tian and the other two sat behind them.
Xia Nuannuan was pulled by Xia Xue to sit together, so there was no help for it, and Qin Tian could only sit in the seat on the left by himself.
"Alright, alright, Xiaoxue, be quiet for a moment, my head is buzzing from your noise."
Xia Nuannuan said with a helpless, bitter smile.
"Oh!"
Xia Xue smiled a bit sheepishly and said, "It's just that this is my first time flying for a trip, I'm too excited."
"I know, rest for a while first, you can be excited when we get there!"
Xia Nuannuan said with an indulgent smile.
"Okay!"
Xia Xue nodded obediently, but after not even a few seconds of silence, she leaned her head out to look toward the back, muttering, "I heard flight attendants are all very pretty, why haven't they come over yet!"
