South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Hey Xiaonian, don't be so troublesome!" At this time, Yuan Mu called out to Cai Xiaonian.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Yuan Mu.

"Brother Yuan, do you have an idea?" Cai Xiaonian's eyes lit up.

"I don't think you can explain it to me. From what you said just now, I know that your mother-in-law is not someone you can get along with easily. Don't waste your breath."

"Well, I'll go to the team to borrow it for you tomorrow. How can such a large criminal police team not get a few Phoenix bicycles? Even if the team can't get it, I'll think of another way for you." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Oh my God, Brother Yuan, I am so grateful to you!" Cai Xiaonian excitedly grabbed Yuan Mu's hand.

"Okay, if you want to touch someone, go touch your wife's hand. Why are you touching mine?" Yuan Mu was speechless.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Xiao Mu, this is really a trouble for you." Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai also said with gratitude.

"Oh, what's the big deal? We live in the same compound and have been friends for so many years. How can I still worry about Xiaonian?" Yuan Mu said nonchalantly.

"Yes, I think what Xiao Mu said makes sense. Xiao Nian's marriage is not only his own business, but also the business of our compound. In the future, all the young people in our compound will get married. If you can help, then do so. My suggestion is that you should take out any unused furniture or other things at home."

"If everyone of us contribute a little, we can easily make the forty-eight legs. Then we can paint them a new coat and they will be as good as new." At this time, Wang Yongge stood up and agreed.

No one had any objection. After all, what Wang Yongge said was right. This matter was not just about the Cai family. The young people in the compound would also get married in the future. Now that this precedent had been set, everyone would lend a hand when anyone of them got married in the future.

On the other hand, when Old Ma saw Wang Yongge talking, he snorted disdainfully and said nothing.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

One morning a few days later, Yuan Mu was sitting in the office reading a book. He had already settled Cai Xiaonian's affairs. He had successfully borrowed eight Phoenix brand bicycles. When Cai Xiaonian got married, he could ride them away directly and use them as his wedding bikes.

The forty-eight legs have also been dealt with. Yuan Mu took out some unused furniture from the house. After all, he is just one person and doesn't need so much furniture.

Cai Xiaonian’s wedding date has been set, which is May 30th, the end of the month.

Just then, Yuan Mu heard a commotion outside and he walked out of the office curiously.

I saw that the crowd was surrounding Lao Ma and Wang Xin, and between them was a man wearing handcuffs, looking depressed, with tears still on his face, and he looked to be in his thirties.

"What's going on?" Yuan Mu walked over.

"Brother Mu, this is the man who stole the railway fasteners. His name is Chen Xiaofei." Wang Xin pointed at the man next to him.

"Okay, take him to record his statement. Lao Ma, come here." Yuan Mu nodded and then called Lao Ma into the office.

"Lao Ma, what's going on? Why is he crying when I see him? Is he not honest?" Yuan Mu handed Lao Ma a cigarette and said.

"No, this is what happened. Wang Xin and I were squatting in the reed marsh next to the railway when we saw Chen Xiaofei coming over with tools to remove railway fasteners. Wang Xin went up to arrest him, but who knew that Chen Xiaofei was riding a motorcycle."

"Fortunately, his motorcycle was second-hand, and its tire burst on the way. Wang Xin caught him on a bicycle. Later we learned that Chen Xiaofei stole the fasteners because his family was poor and he wanted to give his mother a better life. We took him home and let him meet his mother, and that's when he started crying," Lao Ma explained.

Yuan Mu took a puff of cigarette and then nodded slowly.

"Wanting his mother to live a good life is a good thing, but the method is wrong. Let's just do what we have to do."

"Yeah." Lao Ma nodded and continued speaking.

"This time, I really need your reminder. Otherwise, I would have made a mistake of empiricism. I always thought that thieves only come out during the day. Who would have thought that Chen Xiaofei would do the opposite."

"It's okay, these are all trivial matters. Just be careful next time." Yuan Mu smiled and waved his hand.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, it was May 30th.

The atmosphere in the compound is particularly warm today. There are lights and decorations everywhere, and it is full of joy, especially in the Cai family. At this time, the word "囍" is posted on their door and everywhere in the house. Today is Cai Xiaonian's wedding day.

It was early in the morning, around four in the morning, and many people had already gotten up. Cai Xiaonian was dressed very formally, in a straight Mao suit, with his hair combed meticulously, and a smile on his face that could not be dispelled at all.

There were quite a few people who followed him to pick up the bride today, including Yuan Mu, Wang Xin, Ma Yan, Yao Yuling, Niu Dali and several other young people in the compound.

Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai were still constantly explaining things to Cai Xiaonian. The smiles on the faces of the others never disappeared as they stood in the courtyard watching the fun.

The chefs who were going to prepare the banquet had also arrived at the courtyard early and were currently preparing the dishes for the banquet.

Soon it was time to pick up the bride. At Cai Xiaonian's command, everyone got on their bicycles, rode out of the yard and headed straight for their destination.

There were enough bicycles this time, and Ma Yan and Yao Yuling each rode one. After the embarrassing incident last time, Yao Yuling had learned her lesson and practiced riding a bicycle very hard. Now she has finally mastered it and can ride very well.

Soon, the group arrived at Yanhong's house, and the next step was to knock on the door. The whole process was smooth, except that when the bride was leaving the house, the mother-in-law came forward to check the brand of the bicycles. Seeing that they were all Phoenix brands, she nodded with satisfaction and let the convoy go first.

The wedding was held in the courtyard. Many relatives, friends, neighbors and others from both sides came, and the atmosphere in the courtyard reached its peak.

Cai Xiaonian had a smile on his face the whole day, and Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai also smiled at everyone they met. But if you want to know who was the happiest, it would have to be the children.

Today, they not only have a feast, but also can eat lots of candies, drink beverages, and receive red envelopes. They are so happy.

In the afternoon, the guests gradually left, but it was not over yet, because there would be a thank-you banquet in the evening to thank the people in the compound for their help. Not only here, but also my wife's family would hold a thank-you banquet. These neighbors helped a lot in today's wedding.
