Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

After finishing the work in the kitchen on Saturday night, the master told his fellow apprentices to go to He Yuzhu's house to help clean up and not to forget to go to welcome the bride early tomorrow morning.

As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Fugui who lived in the gatehouse called out to everyone: "Shazhu, what are you doing in the courtyard with these people?"

He Yuzhu said: "Brothers and fellow students, come and help me clean up the house."

"I'll lock the door at ten o'clock, so hurry up," said Yan Fugui.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Third," said He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu and his companions returned to the room and started cleaning or wiping the windows. It only took them ten minutes to finish the work. After that, the fellow students left.

Seeing that it was not too late, He Yuzhu went to the grocery store and bought some big red wedding characters, three big front doors, two large bags of candy, a few strings of firecrackers, and three packs of firecrackers.

Before going to bed, He Yuzhu pasted big red wedding characters on the door and several glass windows.

After a sweet dream that night, at daybreak, the sound of bells "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling" was heard. He Yuzhu looked out the window and saw six brothers, each riding a 28-inch bicycle, parked in an orderly manner at the door of the main house.

He Yuzhu greeted, "Brothers and brothers, good morning."

They smiled happily and said, "I'll give you five minutes, hurry up and clean yourself up."

A few minutes later, He Yuzhu handed the prepared cigarettes, candies, firecrackers and firecrackers to his fellow apprentices.

Passing by the front yard gatehouse, the third uncle was shouting: "Shazhu, Shazhu...what are you doing? It's so early, you're knocking on the door and disturbing people's sleep. You young people are just ignorant."

Senior Brother Wang Sheng took a pack of cigarettes and some candies and gave them to Yan Fugui, saying, "My junior brother is getting married today, please bear with me."

Yan Fugui stared at us as we left, muttering, "Junior brother is getting married? It won't be Shazhu!"

"That stupid thing, so poor that he can only afford a penny of the betrothal gift, getting married?..."

It's just two streets away, and you can get there by pedaling your bike.

As soon as they arrived at the Liang family's door, the second brother Chen Kangnian lit a string of firecrackers, which went off crackling, crackling,...

The junior brothers set off firecrackers, bang~bang, bang~bang...

He Yuzhu took out the 2 yuan red envelope he had prepared and gave one to each of Liang Ladi's three younger brothers. Liang's father and mother handed Liang Ladi over to He Yuzhu.

Liang Ladi's eldest brother asked his seniors and juniors to bring in new quilts, bed sheets, and thermos bottles...

A group of about ten people on bicycles drove towards the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

He Yuzhu was riding a relatively new Forever bicycle borrowed from his senior brother, with Liang Ladi sitting behind him. He Yuzhu said, "Ladi, when we have some free time in a few days, let's go buy a bicycle too."

Liang Ladi whispered in He Yuzhu's ear: "Boss, I'll listen to you."

When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, we saw fellow apprentices setting off firecrackers. Bang~pa, crackle, bang~pa... crackle...

Everyone went to the main room in the middle courtyard. When they met someone or a child who came to greet them or congratulate them, the eldest brother Wang Sheng gave them a cigarette and the second brother Chen Kangnian gave them a candy.

After parking the car, He Yuzhu took Liang Ladi to introduce the rooms: the west wing was the kitchen, the east wing was now filled with sundries, and the main room was used for daily meals and rest.

The brothers put the quilts, sheets and bed covers on the bed, and the thermos bottles and cakes on the table...

He Yuzhu saw that it was almost time, and said to his fellow apprentices, "Let's go to Fengze Garden."

"Uncle, please distribute some sugar to the people in the courtyard! The extra ones will be yours." Passing by the gatehouse, He Yuzhu put half a bag of sugar in Yan Fugui's hands.

Yan Fugui stared blankly at He Yuzhu and his group leaving.

He picked up the candies and counted them. There were 58 candies. If 20 households each got 2 candies, there would still be 10 candies left. He smiled knowingly. After counting them, he arranged for the three aunts to distribute them.

While distributing candies, the three aunts said to each household: "This is the wedding candy for Shazhu from the Central Courtyard."

After the third aunt had distributed the wedding candies, the entire courtyard was in an uproar, with all the aunts and grandmas talking about the matter.
