"That's more like it. Come on, Gouzi, carry Zhang Zhiqing to the bicycle. With me here, they won't dare to cause trouble!"
My aunt was so powerful that no one dared to cause trouble.
"Hurry up, dog, what are you standing there for?"
Yu Jiu raised his voice, urging him on.
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away. Thank you, Auntie. I don't know what I would have done without you today. Remember to come to the banquet later."
"How could I possibly miss a banquet? I'll definitely be there."
The auntie happily agreed, and Gouzi stopped being polite with them. He carried Zhang Yan on his back and quickly ran to the bicycle. After putting Zhang Yan on the bicycle, he stepped on the pedals and sped off.
"Everyone hurry up and join in the fun! Gouzi and Zhang Yan are getting married today, we can't let them be lonely."
"We'll distribute the wedding candy later, when we get to the dog's house."
Yu Jiu then called for everyone to follow, and then gestured to his aunt to take away all the candy from the hands of the groomsmen. This candy was meant for them to hand out to everyone along the way, to entice everyone to follow the bride and groom around the village.
These groomsmen are no good now and can't be relied on. Yu Jiu doesn't have the energy to keep up either, so we can only let everyone follow for now and distribute the wedding candies later.
"Okay, let's go then, let's go for a walk too. But Dog is riding his bicycle way too fast, let's go, let's run there."
"Okay, start running."
Once one person made a move, the others followed suit, and half of them left in a flash. The other half chased after them, exchanging various comments and congratulations, and the scene finally became lively again.
"At least we won't be left without anyone following us. Auntie, let's go back to Gouzi's house. Let's take these candies with us. You can help distribute them to everyone. I'll give you a handful first. Thank you so much for helping us today."
Without saying a word, Yu Jiu immediately grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into his aunt's pocket, filling it to the brim. His aunt immediately beamed with joy.
"Don't be so formal. I'm practically a neighbor to Gouzi's family. What's wrong with helping him out? Come on, let's go to his house."
Auntie was about to go to Gouzi's house to help him with the candy. Yu Jiu smiled and nodded, then followed. She turned to look at Yu Caihong, signaling her to follow as well.
Yu Caihong followed, and the rest of the group ignored the four troublesome groomsmen sitting on the ground and followed along noisily to Gouzi's house to watch the fun.
Without the four mischievous groomsmen, Gouzi and Zhang Yan's wedding ceremony went smoothly. The two circled the village twice before returning to Gouzi's house. Yu Jiu, Gouzi's parents, Xu Zijiang, and others were already waiting at the door.
The auntie was still holding candy in her hand, and as soon as the crowd caught up, she started handing out candy. Of course, with so many people, each person probably only got one piece. The auntie would then grab the rest and toss them into the air, and whoever caught them could keep them. It was that simple—creating the most lively effect with the fewest things.
People are just joining in the fun, and it's already pretty good to get one or two pieces of candy. After all, who can guarantee that they or their son will be willing to buy so much candy to share with everyone when they get married? That's unrealistic.
"We've finally arrived. Thankfully, everything went smoothly and nothing serious happened. Gouzi, quickly carry your wife inside. Everyone, get ready; we'll be having the feast soon."
Seeing that the people had arrived, Gouzi's mother finally felt relieved. She had almost fainted from anger when she heard Yu Jiu and the others say that those four brats had caused trouble during Gouzi's wedding. This was a wedding, and the procession was a big deal. If anyone dared to ruin her son's important event, she would definitely turn on them!
"Okay, carry it in now."
He couldn't carry her anymore; the dog wasn't strong enough. He asked everyone to hold the bicycle for him, then bent down and let Zhang Yan climb onto his back. He carried Zhang Yan inside.
With that, the wedding procession finally came to an end. However, everyone could still follow them into the room to watch the bride chat with her, which kept her from getting bored. After all, the groom had other things to do next, just like the last time at the wedding banquet.
Yu Jiu didn't cause any more trouble. She and Yu Caihong took An'an inside to keep Zhang Yan company. After everyone else left, when only they were left, Zhang Yan slapped her thigh hard, filled with regret.
"I should have slapped those guys a few times. They had to cause trouble at my wedding. Did they think Gouzi was easy to fool? They said they were good brothers and came to be his best man. Is this how they came to be his best man?"
They even deliberately caused trouble and broke down the gate to the educated youth settlement. Why should Gouzi pay for it? Why should Gouzi be the one to fix it? Let them fix it! If they can't fix it, I'll fight them! I'll tie them to a tree!
Zhang Yan could no longer suppress her fiery nature and wanted to rush out and slap them a few times. How dare they bully her man? Did they really think she was easy to bully?
“They should pay for this door. I’ll talk to Xu Zijiang. If it can’t be repaired, they’ll have to pay for it. It wasn’t Gouzi who broke into the door. Gouzi told them not to break into it, but they insisted on doing it.”
If it weren't for what happened today, Yu Jiu wouldn't have known that anyone would deliberately cause trouble at a wedding and do such vulgar things. Breaking down the door, tying the groom to a tree, and demanding they kiss in public—it's all so obscene.
Some people might egg the groom on to kiss the bride, but none of them acted like him, deliberately trying to get people to kiss them. And with that expression, you could tell they were thinking something lewd, making Yu Jiu feel incredibly uncomfortable.
"That's right. I saw them smash the door down and rush in. I was startled when I was in the room."
Yu Caihong said with lingering fear, "When the door fell, it almost hit the female educated youth at the educated youth settlement. Luckily, it didn't hit her, otherwise we would have had to pay compensation. Besides, she was an innocent victim."
"So that's why the dog can't judge people! How could he choose someone like that as his best man? Luckily, it didn't turn into a big fight, or I would have dealt with the dog too! He usually seems so clever, how could he act so stupidly at a time like this!"
Zhang Yan gets angry just talking about it. What kind of young girl doesn't value her wedding day? It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, and if something goes wrong, she'll never forget it.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. It's all over now. If you want to teach those people a lesson, wait until after the wedding. Gouzi didn't know they were like that. Ignorance is no excuse. It's not good for you two to argue over outsiders right after you get married. Let's talk about something else."
Yu Jiu tried to coax her and even changed the subject.
She successfully changed the subject. Zhang Yan gestured for Yu Caihong to close the door, and then she said mysteriously.
"I have something to ask you."
"Um... um... how do we define a successful wedding night?"
