The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

The wedding procession was supposed to return in the afternoon, but many of the young men in the Xu family were too drunk to walk. Plus, many of Jiang Yi's comrades were staying at the Xu family's house and still hungover. Jiang Yi said to his aunts and cousins, "Everyone, have dinner here before you leave. I'll have someone tell my parents."

Xu Yu also said: "There are still a lot of leftovers in the kitchen. Everyone should help eat some, otherwise they will go bad if left for too long."

The women couldn't take so many men with them, so they had to agree.

Little Brother Xu, who seemed particularly well-behaved today and helped out, came over and stood behind Xu Yu to massage her shoulders when she finally had time to sit down and rest.

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Brother is still the best. Your love for me is not in vain."

Xu Xiaodi said with a smile: "Sister, my brother-in-law is really amazing today. He drank with so many people by himself and didn't get drunk."

Xu Yu glanced at Jiang Yi who was still busy, and asked him with a smile: "Isn't your sister any more powerful?"

“It’s also very impressive.”

Xu Xiaodi said to her, "When I grow up and get married, I want to be as good as you."

This made several women laugh.

Aunt Wu teased him, "It turns out that our Jianhua is already thinking about getting married at such a young age."

Xu Jianhua was embarrassed by what he said and quickly said loudly: "I said when I grow up, not now."

This made everyone laugh again.

A group of people sat in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. When it was getting dark, several aunts went to the kitchen to heat up the food.

After an hour or two of rest, Jiang Yi's group of comrades sobered up a lot.

Only Jiang Qingyun and his wife, Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping were still fast asleep due to drunkenness.

After everyone finished their meal, they prepared to leave.

As for Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping who were still unconscious, Jiang Yi's comrades decided to carry them over directly.

Xu Yu watched her family leave, and an inexplicable feeling of reluctance surged up in her. She and Jiang Yi accompanied them to the village entrance.

My aunt said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Yu, you two can go back."

Xu Jianhua was also reluctant to leave his sister, so he said, "Sister, you and your husband must wait for me after school in three days."

Xu Yu nodded at him: "Okay."

Then he said to Xiao Tang, "Xiao Tang, I have already packed the medicine. I won't send you off tomorrow. Come to our house again if you have the chance."

Little Tang nodded at her, a little reluctantly: "You and Comrade Jiang should come to the county town when you have time."

"it is good."

After watching them walk away, Jiang Yi held Xu Yu's hand and led her back.

Seeing that Xu Yu was feeling a little down, he rubbed her knuckles with his thumb to comfort her.

Xu Yu tilted his head and looked at him, tears in his eyes.

Jiang Yi didn't know how to comfort her, so he just looked at her with those calm and deep eyes.

Xu Yu leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "I'm just not used to it."

Jiang Yi hummed.

Then the two of them walked hand in hand towards home.

Jiang Yi was worried that Xu Yu couldn't see the road clearly, so he simply let go of her hand, walked in front of her and said, "Xiaoyu, come up, I'll carry you."

Xu Yu had been standing for too long today and his legs were a little sore, so he just lay on his back.

Even though Jiang Yi was carrying her on his back, he walked very steadily.

Xu Yu put his arm around his neck, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said to him: "Brother Yi, let's boil some water to soak my feet when we get home. My feet are sore."

Jiang Yi: "There's hot water on the stove. I'll get you some when we get back."

Xu Yu asked again: "How many of your comrades didn't go to my house with you? Are these people your leaders?"

"One of them is, and the other two are of high status."

"I didn't expect them to come to our wedding banquet." Xu Yu knew that Jiang Yi was very important. After thinking for a moment, he said, "They came all the way to attend our wedding. Let's give them some gifts to take away."

Jiang Yi: "You can let them take some of the whitening medicine you made back home. These people all have wives."

Xu Yu thought it made sense, but said, "We must not take them back too casually... When are they planning to leave? I want to ask about the sisters-in-law's condition first, and then prescribe the right medicine."

"Leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll ask them tomorrow."

"Ah."

When the two of them returned, the other three were sitting by the stove in the main hall of Jiang Yi's house and talking.

As soon as they saw the two of them coming back, one of the leaders smiled and said, "Since you're back, let's go to bed too."

The other two looked more serious and stood up and walked out the door.

Jiang Yi asked Xu Yu to sit for a while and he would take them there.

Xu Yu nodded.

Jiang Yi sent the three of them out.

Xu Yu did not rest either. He went to see Dingdang and the tiger baby first, and teased the tiger baby who could already run and jump but was particularly obedient to Dingdang. He had not let outsiders notice him in the past few days. Then he put some clothes from the dowry that was brought in today into the closet.

Finally, I sorted out some medicinal herbs I brought today, and planned to move them to the specially built medicinal herb warehouse in the backyard after Jiang Yi came back.

When Jiang Yi came back, he saw her packing herbs and hurried to help.

Xu Yu told him: "I only brought a few medicinal herbs today."

Jiang Yi said, "They will help bring it over when they come tomorrow."

Xu Yu smiled with satisfaction and nodded, then followed Jiang Yi to the backyard.

Several thatched houses in the backyard were replaced with stone and brick houses.

These houses were built against the mountain wall, which was made of very hard rock. During the few days when Xu Yu was away, they actually dug a hole into the mountain wall in the medicinal materials warehouse they had planned, and placed a lot of wooden shelves in it.

Jiang Yi directly placed the medicinal herbs in sacks on the wooden shelf.

Xu Yu said, "Once I get all the herbs here, I'll put labels on all the sacks. When the medicine cabinet comes back, I can put some of them in the medicine cabinet."

"Ah."

After the two of them finished, Jiang Yi asked Xu Yu to get some clothes first: "I'll get you some water to wash up in the bathroom, and then you can soak your feet after you're done."

Xu Yu nodded, but did not go to get clothes. Instead, he followed him to the kitchen.

Jiang Yi tilted his head to look at her.

Xu Yu held his hand and looked at him eagerly: "I want to be with you."

She came here suddenly and was actually a little uncomfortable, especially since the Xu family was always bustling every day, but it suddenly became so quiet tonight. She was not used to it at all and just wanted to stay with him.

Jiang Yi obviously saw what she was thinking, so he simply held her hand and took her to the kitchen.

When Jiang Yi was fetching water, Xu Yu stood next to him.

As Jiang Yi walked towards their room with the bucket in his hand, he held Xu Yu's hand with his other hand.

Until Jiang Yi brought water into the bathroom she had specially built, brought in a stove, and said to her, "Add cold water yourself."

Xu Yu nodded and said to him, "Go and get the small basin from my dowry."

Jiang Yi nodded and went to get her a small basin.

When Xu Yu finished washing up, Jiang Yi had obviously also finished washing up and was now helping her make foot washing water.

Xu Yu went over and sat down, took off her shoes and socks, and when her feet were soaked in the hot water, she breathed a sigh of relief with comfort.

Then, seeing Jiang Yi standing by and watching him, he pulled his clothes with a smile and said, "Brother Yi, come and soak your feet with us. Soaking your feet is the most comfortable thing in winter."

Jiang Yi obeyed her and brought a chair to sit opposite her and soak her feet with her.

When a foot that was more than twice as big as his was put in, Xu Yu subconsciously compared his own foot with his.

One black and one white, one big and one small, the contrast is particularly strong.

The water for foot bathing was a little hot, so Xu Yu simply placed her feet on his insteps and said with a smile, "Your feet are too big."

Jiang Yi didn't move his feet, letting her stay there, his eyes always on her feet.

It was the first time he had seen such white, tender and delicate feet, and he felt an urge to hold them in his palm and compare their size with his own.

With this idea in mind, he did just that.

He bent down and held one of her feet.

Xu Yu felt as if she had been electrocuted. She subconsciously wanted to move away, but he was holding her tightly and she couldn't pull it out. Her heart trembled as she asked, "Brother Yi, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yi looked up at her, his voice hoarse and tickling: "I'll help you wash."

Xu Yu's cheeks turned red instantly.

She always felt that there was something wrong with Brother Yi's eyes when he looked at her, as if... he wanted to eat her up right away.

Her feet were particularly sensitive. When held in his big hands, she could feel the roughness and heat coming from his palms.

His hand was still moving, his thumb gently stroking the back of her foot, and her foot couldn't help but tremble slightly.

My breathing speeded up unconsciously.

The air around us became thinner.

Xu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so he called him softly: "Brother Yi~"

The voice is delicate and soft.

The next moment, Jiang Yi suddenly let go of her feet, took the foot towel next to him, wiped his feet clean two or three times, and put on slippers.

Then he squatted down and took out Xu Yu's feet. While wiping them, he asked in a dark, hoarse, and even bewitching voice: "Xiao Yu, how about soaking your feet slowly tomorrow night?"
