"Let's go and pick up the bride first!"
"If they come, they can serve peanuts and melon seeds. Don't fight over them.”
"My children have been craving meat for a long time. Today, there's a good big fat meat. I watched the butcher cut it so that the children could satisfy their cravings.”
"I picked the peanuts and melon seeds. They're all freshly fried…"
The residents happily walked to the front yard. When Li Wuwei, that bad boy, brought his wife back, not only would they have peanuts and melon seeds, but they could also give out candies and cigarettes. Who asked the process to be arranged like this?
Sister Hua and the other female workers were trapped in the crowd and were still in a daze.
"Aunt Chen, did Qin Huairu say that Li Wuwei is so popular in the hospital?”
"That's right. I think these residents are sincerely happy for others.”
"I also saw Master He from the canteen. With them cooking, the taste of the dishes won't be bad. If I had known earlier, I would have brought my wife.”
"It's only nine o'clock. There's still three hours before dinner. Sister Tang, go back and bring the man over later so that we can take a look at him.”
Amid the banter, everyone passed by the deserted middle court. There was only an empty table left there, and Yi Zhonghai had disappeared.
When they left the courtyard, they saw Li Wuwei holding onto a bicycle with a big red flower on it. Qin Huairu stood beside him. One of them was handsome while the other was beautiful. They were a perfect match.
There was also a huge bag of candy hanging on the car.
"Damao, what are you waiting for? I've arranged for you to set off firecrackers.”
Liu Haizhong patted Xu Damao's back. Why wasn't he listening to his arrangements?
"I'll go now!"
Xu Damao's face was numb. Why did Li Wuwei trick the entire hospital into paying for the wedding banquet? He had to set off firecrackers for others. The heavens were blind!
However, everyone was staring at him. They quickly ran over and lit firecrackers outside the courtyard.
"Crackle!"
The celebratory sound of firecrackers rang out and spread far into the alley, attracting the residents of the nearby courtyards.
"Welcome the bride!"
"There's a newcomer in our courtyard house!"
The residents started to shout. They were giving face to Li Wuwei. They were the ones who paid for the candy, but Li Wuwei was the one who distributed the candy. If they shouted louder and worked harder, they might get a few more candies.
The people in the courtyard next door pointed and were a little confused. They had seen the bride before. She had stayed in the courtyard for a long time. Why was the banquet only held today?
Qin Huairu saw the lively scene. The entire academy had come out to welcome them. She even saw Sis Hua and the others waving their hands in the crowd. She was overjoyed.
Li Wuwei saw that it was about time. If he continued with this pose, he would slip and it would be a tragedy.
He immediately shouted," Dear neighbors, I, Li Wuwei, am getting married today. It's her, Qin Huairu. She's the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
Thank you for your support. Here's some wedding candy. Let's get a good luck together. Now, it's time to give out candy.”
Li Wuwei had given out red packets in the village before, so he was experienced. Although he did not prepare any red packets this time, he asked for the money to buy candy.
The candy he prepared far exceeded his plan. No one else would notice, but he could also sprinkle candy to make himself happy.
He immediately grabbed two candies from the bag and threw them out.
"Ah, they're giving out wedding candies."
"It's a wedding candy. Whoever picks it up will be happy.”
Everyone cheered, and the children were even happier. They all wanted to eat candy.
"Huai Ru, you come too, scatter as hard as you can, scatter all the way to the courtyard.”
Li Wuwei gave it another go and had his fun. He didn't forget that he still had a wife.
"Yes!"
Qin Huairu happily picked up the candy and started to scatter it. The crowd cheered along the way. As they picked up the candy, they made way for the two of them to enter the courtyard.
Just like that, Li Wuwei pushed the brand-new bicycle with a big red flower while Qin Huiru sprinkled sugar all the way from the front yard to the middle yard and then to the backyard. It was so lively.
Not only the residents in the courtyard, but also people from the outer courtyard followed in to pick up the candy to watch the show. This was the capital to brag about.
Although the residents of the courtyard house were distressed that many of the wedding candies had been picked up by the people from the outer courtyard, they could not care less about it now. Li Wuwei did not earn any money from the gift and only sprinkled some sugar. This was not too much.
Qin Huairu's hands were sore, but she realized that there was not much less candy in the big bag. She guessed that her man had prepared more for her. He cared about her.
Instantly, her heart felt as sweet as honey. She did not marry the wrong man.
In fact, it was almost the same. Li Wuwei saw that there was not much left in the backyard if he continued to scatter it like this, so he quickly moved a batch of candy from the space into the bag.
This was a cloth bag, so no one could tell how much candy was inside.
"The bride has entered the door."
"The bride is so beautiful!"
Everyone cheered. Yan Bugui arranged for people to take out the bags of peanuts and melon seeds and pour some on each table.
He didn't pour it all at once. He would slowly add it later. There was still a long time.
At this moment, Li Wuwei held Qin Huiru's hand and led her into his house. This ceremony was considered done, and he was not too particular about it now.
It was also because he did not have any elders in his family, so he had to keep it simple.
The bicycle was parked right next to the door of the house. It was a big and expensive item.
He took off the bags of candy and poured them on each table, followed by a row of children, waiting for the candy to come out and grab it.
However, he didn't expect the lords waiting to act even faster. They were all craving candy.
"Huai Ru, come over and give out candies too."
After Li Wuwei poured the candy on the table, he called his wife over and gave the candies to the auntie who helped the kitchen.
"Alright!"
Qin Huiru was talking to Sis Hua and the others when she heard the shouts. She hurriedly ran over and started eating candy again.
When he grabbed a handful of candy for Shazhu, he was so happy that he couldn't find his way back.
"Sister Qin, don't worry. I'll definitely prepare the banquet for you today.”
In Silly Zhu's eyes, Li Wuwei had nothing to do with him. He only came to help out in the kitchen because of Sister Qin.
"Silly Zhu, it's been hard on you."
Qin Huairu imitated the words that her old masters often said.
"Hai, it's not hard at all.”
Shazhu was so happy that the corners of his mouth were about to split open. He felt full of energy, but it was his father who was in charge of cooking, so he just helped him from the side.
At this moment, Yan Bugui started to give out cigarettes. As long as they gave gifts, no matter if they were male or female, each family would be given a pack of cigarettes. This was only fair.
Therefore, even Sister Hua and the other female workers had gotten their hands on cigarettes. Even if they didn't smoke, they could still give them away. At least they could earn back some money.
When a female worker saw that there was really hard food at noon and it was so festive, she could not help but leave first and call her husband over.
There were also people who wanted to bring their children over. After asking, they knew that they had planned seats and hurriedly went home.
However, there were still quite a number of female workers left behind. Seeing that Qin Huairu was free, Auntie Chen and Sis Hua called her into the house. It was quiet now.
"Qin Huairu, quickly tell me what's going on. Your man is so rich that he's hosting such a big event. There are fifteen tables and he's invited everyone in the entire academy.”
Sis Hua was extremely anxious. She really wanted to know what was going on.
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes shifted away, not knowing how to explain herself.
"Is there any inside story?" Auntie Chen asked. Qin Huairu, tell us first. We promise not to spread the news.”
"That's right. We're good sisters.”
The female workers tried to persuade him. They were too curious.
Qin Huairu could not take it anymore. She could only say," It's nothing much. It's just that my Big Brother Li asked the entire academy to pay for the banquet."”
"What is it? What do you mean?"
All the female workers were dumbfounded and didn't understand.
Qin Huairu had no choice but to say," It means that all the households in the courtyard should hand in their gifts first and give them to Third Master. He's the accountant outside. He'll be in charge of the banquet."”
The female workers felt that they were dumbfounded and quickly asked,"That's not right. The residents in your courtyard have such a good relationship with Li Wuwei that they're all willing to pool money to hold a banquet for him. Fifteen tables? How much money would that cost?”
"It's not a loss. There are only twenty or so households in the courtyard, and there aren't that many gifts. There's still a gap of more than 100 yuan. It was Master He who made up the gap first. He wanted to use your gift money to supplement Master He.”
Qin Huairu had already told him that she could not hide this matter. Her husband did not ask her to hide it either.
"Hiss!"
The female workers gasped. Sis Hua said in surprise,""Doesn't that mean that Li Wuwei didn't spend a single cent on such a grand banquet for you?”
Qin Huairu nodded in embarrassment." Yes! He had bought a bicycle, but he didn't have much money left.”
Numb, the female workers were numb. So Li Wuwei still hadn't changed. They hadn't misjudged him before.
"That's not right. Jia Dongxu is getting married today. Why are all these people from your courtyard coming to your house?”
A clear-headed female worker asked the key question.
Qin Huairu continued to explain," Jia Dongxu also invited everyone. It's just that his family wanted to trick people. They asked each family to give gifts. Then, each family only sent one representative to the Jia family for a drink.
There were thirty people, but only two tables were set up. They didn't hire a chef either. Everyone felt that it was a loss, so they came to me, Big Brother Li, for advice.
In order to help everyone, my Big Brother Li suggested that we should pay together to hold a banquet for our family.”
Qin Huairu felt that her family was in the right. They did not earn a single cent, so no one could find fault with this matter.
"Ah! I didn't expect Jia Dongxu to be such a person!”
"The Jia family in your courtyard is too deceitful. Isn't it obvious that they're scamming gifts?”
The women couldn't stand such shamelessness and started to crusade against him.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Wuwei was also shameless. He seized the opportunity of the Jia family to scam people and coerced the residents of the courtyard.
Everyone avoided the Jia family, but they didn't avoid Li Wuwei. In the end, they still gave the gift money, but they could really eat and drink in the Li family.
Auntie Chen frowned and said," I understand now. Li Wuwei didn't earn money, but he earned such a big wedding for nothing."
It seemed that the wedding candy was not given out at all. It was all the money that everyone had gathered!”
Qin Huairu's lips moved, but she did not explain in the end. That bit of money was not enough to buy so many wedding candies. It was Big Brother Li who felt sorry for her and secretly bought more with his own money.
Candies are so expensive now.
"Wait, you said that all the residents in the courtyard have come to your house. Doesn't that mean that Jia Dongxu won't be able to invite any guests?”
"Aiya, this is too tragic. Not only did Li Wuwei snatch you from Jia Dongxu, but he also snatched the guest.”
Although the female workers were not ashamed of Jia Dongxu's attempt to scam money by holding a banquet, they could not help but sympathize with him. If both the blind date and marriage were ruined by one person, would there be any sunshine in their future lives?
Qin Huairu shook her head." I don't know about that. Perhaps the Jia Zhangshi has hired someone else."”
"Let's go and take a look. It's already so late. Has Jia Dongxu brought his wife back? Let's go and see what she looks like and see if she can compare to our Qin Huairu.”
Sis Hua didn't mind making things big. She immediately called a few female workers who wanted to watch the show and went to the middle court. Anyway, it was still early to eat.
The male workers in the workshop had not arrived yet, but they had already asked around. Later, the male workers would gather in the courtyard.
"Third Uncle, you've worked hard today. Drink two more cups at noon.”
"Yo, Second Uncle, you can sit at the main table today. I have to give you a toast.”
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Chen, you didn't greet me well.”
"Sun Erniang, your child has already gotten the candy, right? If it's not enough, there's still more.”
Li Wuwei shuttled through the crowd and greeted everyone he saw. On a big day, all the people who came were guests. No matter what the reason was, they were all here to give face.
Sis Hua happened to come out with a female worker. When she saw this scene, she finally knew how Qin Huiru had been tricked.
With Li Wuwei's shamelessness, how could Qin Huairu, who came from the countryside, stand up to flowery words?
"Bah! Shameless!"
Xu Damao thought that he was already good at talking, but when he saw Li Wuwei greeting the guests, he felt that he was much worse. His heart ached!
"Damao, why are you hiding here? Go and carry the steamer over. There aren't many young people in this courtyard, so you have to put in more effort.”
Old Xu greeted his son. He was also happy today. With such a big table and using his door to cut the vegetables, didn't it mean that the good things in this courtyard would come to his house next time?
It was just that his son was so silly and did not have any eyesight. He had to help more. If the people in the courtyard saw it, they might be able to do the same when his son got married next time.
Not only did it not cost money, but it was also so festive. How good was that!
"Got it, Dad!"
Xu Damao didn't dare to refute and could only go back to work.
"Damao, you've worked hard today. Come with me to toast in the afternoon. You can also experience the feeling of the wedding banquet in advance.”
Li Wuwei pulled Xu Damao, who was carrying a steamer basket, back. He had to help him hold the wine for lunch.
With the experience of transmigration, he really did not dare to drink too much. He was afraid that he would directly die from drinking. If he left his beautiful wife behind, wouldn't it be beneficial to others?
"I…"
Xu Damao wanted to scold him. You married a beautiful wife without spending money, and now you want me to drink? No way.
Li Wuwei knew Xu Damao's character very well. How could he obediently submit?
However, he had a way. He immediately whispered,"Damao, you don't want someone to cause trouble during the blind date and wedding, right?”
"Li Wuwei, you…"
Xu Damao gave in with tears in his eyes. Thinking about how miserable Jia Dongxu was, he definitely couldn't become the next Jia Dongxu. He might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
"It's settled then. I'll call you when the banquet starts.
Well, when the white flour is steamed, you can eat one to fill your stomach. The wine at noon was personally chosen by your mother. It's strong and I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold it if you don't have enough alcohol.”
Li Wuwei patted Xu Damao's shoulder. Let's go. We won't delay their work.
"Mom, you've made me suffer."
Xu Damao wanted to cry but had no tears. When he passed by his mother's table with the steamer, he heard his mother brag about how affordable the wine she chose this time was and how strong the aftertaste was.
If the old masters couldn't drink much, they would collapse. This would save the money for the wine and allow them to add a few more dishes.
"Da Mao, go to the side and help Silly Zhu. Don't disturb us sisters.”
Mother Xu felt that the light had become dimmer. When she looked up and saw her unlucky son, she did not say anything good.
