Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

The sun is rising, the sky is full of rays of light, and the beautiful morning has begun. Everything seems to have just woken up, the birds are singing happily among the branches, and the world is full of vitality and energy.

Jia Zhang, who had not slept all night, got up impatiently when she saw the daybreak. She didn't even bother with Bang Geng and went out directly.

She visited all the alleys around the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang and the courtyard houses nearby. When she met someone familiar, she would stop them and chat with them. "The Jia family is rich now, and my son is single. He wants to find a daughter-in-law from the city. The amount of the bride price is negotiable."

The speaker may be sincere, but the listener may not be interested. Jia Zhang committed many common mistakes of nouveau riche: she liked to show off. The Jia family had money, but she did not share it with people she knew. Her behavior inevitably caused dissatisfaction among many people, but she herself was completely unaware of it.

If Jia Zhang's own circle was of high quality, she would not have been so picky and chosen Qin Huairu from the rural area outside Beijing. Confused people never know their mistakes. From that afternoon, she received waves of matchmakers who came to see her.

Starting from the next day, matchmakers brought girls to visit. They were satisfied with Jia Dongxu's work, the east wing in the middle courtyard of the Jia family's quadrangle, and the betrothal gifts he could offer. When they heard that Jia Dongxu had been married and had a son, the girls all left with curses.

That night, because of Jia Dongxu's marriage, Jia Zhang was really worried and had no choice but to discuss it with Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, it seems that you are divorced and have Bang Geng at home, so it will be difficult for you to marry a girl from the city." Jia Zhang said with a sad face.

"Mom, what do you think we should do? We can't just go back to the countryside to look for him." Jia Dongxu looked at his mother disappointedly, with a decadent look.

Jia Zhang looked at her son and felt very sad. She made up her mind and said, "Son, if it really doesn't work out, I will take Banggeng back to the Jia family's hometown to live for a while. After all, there are old houses in the countryside. After a little repair, they can still be lived in."

"When your city wife gives birth to a child, I will come back with Banggeng."

"Even so, when people come to our courtyard and see that there is a big stick at home, and ask if I am married, an unmarried girl will not agree!" Jia Dongxu lowered his head and said listlessly.

"My son, you are such an honest and good boy. On the day of the blind date, I will pay 1 cents and ask the aunt in the next yard to take Banggeng to her house. I will take him back after you find your match."

"Your mother, just wait at the front yard gate someday. I will pick up the girl when she comes, and see her off when she leaves. I don't believe that with your mother's prestige in the courtyard, she can't suppress those demons and monsters." Jia Zhang said proudly and confidently.

Jia Dongxu's eyes were full of surprise. He excitedly grabbed Jia Zhang's hand and said, "Mom, you really have a way. Just keep talking. Maybe it will work."

After a few days, Jia Zhang really found an old girl, who was two years younger than Jia Dongxu, good-looking, lived near the South Ruyi Gate of the Summer Palace, and worked as a cashier at a supply and marketing cooperative.

The day of the blind date arrived. Jia Zhang was waiting at the front door early in the morning. The stick was entrusted to the aunt in the next yard. Jia Dongxu tidied the house, put on new shoes and new clothes, and waited at home.

With the sound of "ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling...", three bicycles stopped at the door of Jia's house. Jia Zhang brought the matchmaker and the blind date family into the Jia's house. The people in the courtyard looked at them secretly with curiosity.

The girl's family was very satisfied with the Jia family's house and Jia Dongxu's job; the Jia family was also satisfied with the girl's job and appearance. The two sides hit it off, and Jia Zhang generously agreed: she was willing to pay 50 yuan as a betrothal gift. When the girl's father saw how generous the Jia family was, he pointed to a new 8-layer bicycle at the door and said that this was the dowry for Jin Liuyan.

The two sides agreed on a time to get the marriage certificate, and Jia Dongxu took the woman's family out to eat roast duck. Jia Zhang watched everyone leave and took out 10 yuan as a thank-you gift to the matchmaker, who smiled and kept saying good things and praising the two newlyweds.

Jia Zhang, who had gotten what she wanted, was so excited that she cheered loudly in the courtyard and even forgot to pick up her precious grandson.

When Jia Dongxu, after having a full meal and a drink, returned to the courtyard, Jia Zhang was still spitting at the aunts and grandmas in the courtyard.

"Mom, has Banggeng returned home?" Jia Dongxu, who was a little drunk, asked.

"Oh, I'll go pick it up right away. Dongxu, you go home and rest first." After saying that, Jia Zhang hurried out.

As soon as Jia Zhang left, the aunts and grandmas in the courtyard went home to take a nap or to do housework.

When Jia Zhang, who lived in the next courtyard, was afraid that others would not know about the happy event of the Jia family, she spread the news somewhere else.

In the Jia family's house, Jia Dongxu, who was half asleep, felt someone helping him take off his clothes. Because he was a little drunk, he didn't think much about it and thought he was dreaming. When he saw the familiar people, the familiar movements, the familiar smells... Jia Dongxu was addicted.

Inside the Jia family's house, heavy rain poured down, and the strong wind added fuel to the storm, making the rain even more violent...

"Dongxu, Banggeng and I are back. What are you doing in the inner room? It's making such a loud noise." Jia Zhang said as she pushed open the door and walked in.

The scene before her made Jia Zhang unbelievable. After a moment of confusion, she lowered her voice and said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes."

After a while, Qin Huairu came out, dressed neatly, and cried to Jia Zhang: "Mom, don't blame Dongxu, it's all my fault."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu fiercely and said, "As long as I am here, don't think about harming my Dongxu anymore. If you dare to provoke Dongxu again, I will fight you to the death."

"Mom, I didn't want to harm Dongxu, I just wanted to borrow his seed. Yi Zhonghai said that if I don't get pregnant, he will divorce me." Qin Huairu explained while crying.

"This time, I will pretend that I didn't see it. Don't step into the Jia family's door again. I have plenty of ways to deal with you. You'd better take care of yourself." Jia Zhang said word by word with a murderous look in her eyes.

With Qin Huairu's departure, Jia Zhang gave Jia Dongxu a lecture, and Jia Dongxu repented and vowed never to stick to Qin Huairu again.

To make a long story short, the next day, Jia Dongxu and Jin Liuyan got their marriage certificate and agreed to come directly to Jia's house on Sunday. They would not hold a banquet and would just give out some candy to the residents in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang looked at the marriage certificate in Jia Dongxu's hand and burst into tears: "Old Jia, I married our son to a city girl. You must bless Dongxu to have many children and good fortune!"

The next morning, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu took Banggeng back to their hometown outside Beijing. Fortunately, the rural people were simple and honest in those days. They paid a high price of 5 cents per person for labor, and 5 to 6 people finished repairing the Jia family's old house in an afternoon.

The earth becomes exceptionally beautiful under the setting sun, and the rolling mountains are dyed with a layer of gold, as if sharing the beauty of the sunset with people.

Standing at the entrance of the village under the setting sun, Jia Zhang, holding Bang Geng's crooked neck, looked at Jia Dongxu who turned and left, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, and she choked with sobs.

Between the mountains, in the valleys, Jia Zhang's voice of admonition echoed for a long time, lingering: My son, you must be well in the city; Mom is waiting for you to pick us up...
