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

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm coming!"

When Xu Yu and the others heard Xu Xiaodi's voice, the four of them quickly walked out of the house to the gate of the yard.

I saw a small figure running towards this side happily on the edge of the field.

Xu Yu's lips curled up unconsciously. Seeing his brother suddenly, he was so surprised that he couldn't describe it. But he still asked first: "Brother, did you tell mom and the others before you came?"

Xu Jianhua quickly ran up to them and greeted Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui first: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Yang."

After the two of them smiled and nodded in response, he answered Xu Yu's question: "Yes, Mom also said that my brother-in-law doesn't need to take me home tonight. She and Dad will come to pick me up then."

After saying that, she quickly reached into her schoolbag, took out the lard cake lunch box and handed it to Xu Yu, saying in a cute way: "Sister, Mom made lard cakes for you. Today, my classmates saw it and wanted to eat it. I didn't give them any, and I didn't eat any either."

Xu Yu took the lunch box, touched his head with a smile, then took his hand and said, "Come on, come in first. I'll make you something delicious tonight. I'll heat up the lard cakes later and we'll eat together."

Xu Jianhua smiled brightly and responded happily: "Okay~"

Several people walked in together.

Xu Yu asked as they walked: "Are you here alone or with your classmates?"

"I was originally with my classmates, but I thought they were walking too slowly, so I ran here on my own."

"You should stay with your classmates from now on. We are worried about you coming here alone."

"it is good!"

Yang Wenhui looked at Xu Jianhua and couldn't help but smile and said, "Jianhua runs really fast. The other children will probably have to wait a while before they can return to the village."

"Hehe~ I run in the village every day as my brother-in-law told me, so I must be running faster."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yi with an expectant look as if saying, "Brother-in-law, please praise me."

Jiang Yi: "Very good, keep it up."

Xu Jianhua immediately responded loudly: "Okay! Brother-in-law!"

Xu Yu and the other two couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yu directly asked Xu Jianhua to put his schoolbag in the main hall, then gave him the snacks that Jiang Yi had bought today and said to him, "Play by yourself for a while, I'll make you something delicious."

When he was leaving, he also said, "Don't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat later."

"it is good."

After Xu Jianhua and Xu Yu left, he saw Jiang Yi also walking outside. He quickly took a piece of dessert and asked, "Brother-in-law, I want to go see Dingdang and Tiger Baby, is that okay?"

"Go."

After getting permission, Xu Jianhua immediately ran happily to the backyard.

Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui, who were cooking in the kitchen, soon heard Xu Jianhua talking to Dingdang in the backyard.

Yang Wenhui smiled and said, "Jianhua is really well behaved. If it were any other child that young, they wouldn't be willing to run so far to see their sister, not to mention bringing you food instead of eating it themselves."

Xu Yu smiled and nodded: "He always gives me food first."

"This kind of brotherly and sisterly relationship is the best."

Yang Wenhui was filled with envy: "It's really rare to have a family with brothers and sisters as close as yours."

Xu Yu smiled and nodded.

At this time, Xu Jianhua called Xu Yu from the backyard: "Sister, can I hold the tiger cub?"

Xu Yu: "Okay."

Then there was no sound.

After Xu Yu finished cooking a dish, he walked to the back door of the kitchen and looked towards the backyard worriedly.

The house that Jiang Yi and his team specially built for Dingdang was just across from the kitchen. At this moment, Xu Xiaodi was sitting in Dingdang's nest holding the tiger cub, and Dingdang was squatting next to him.

Little Brother Xu was talking to them, apparently talking about school.

Xu Yu couldn't help laughing when she saw this. She said, "Brother, why did you occupy Dingdang's nest?"

When Yang Wenhui heard this, she couldn't help but come over to take a look.

She looked at the picture and laughed: "It seems that Dingdang really likes Jianhua and is willing to let him sit in its nest."

Xu Jianhua immediately said with a smile: "Dingdang and I are good friends, it will definitely agree."

After saying that, he asked Dingdang: "Dingdang, don't you agree?"

Jingle barked in response.

Xu Jianhua immediately hugged his neck with one hand, put his face against Dingdang's face, and smiled.

Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui were so amused by the scene.

Xu Jianhua and Dingdang played until it was time to eat.

At the dinner table, Xu Jianhua was gnawing on a lamb chop, looking dazed by the delicious food.

Xu Yu thought of something and asked him, "Brother, have you finished your homework today?"

Xu Jianhua quickly stopped and nodded: "I didn't have much homework today. I asked the teacher after class and finished it in advance."

Hearing this, Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun couldn't help but praise him for his intelligence.

The praise made Xu Jianhua smile even sweeter.

After dinner, Jiang Yi cleared the dishes and went to wash them, and Xu Yu followed him to the kitchen.

Xu Jianhua also followed.

He suddenly remembered what his second brother said and talked to the two of them.

Jiang Yi agreed immediately.

Xu Yu smiled and said to him, "We were planning to go there tomorrow, and we can visit the pig farm then."

Xu Jianhua also laughed: "My second brother said that we can slaughter the New Year pig next month. Then we will have plenty of meat to eat and we can also enjoy the pig-slaughtering dishes."

Xu Yu tapped his forehead and asked, "Haven't you eaten enough meat recently?"

"Hehe~ It's different. I want to eat the pig-killing dish. Then my sister and brother-in-law will also go to eat it."

Xu Yu teased him deliberately: "How can we have the nerve to go to the village to have a pig-killing meal?"

Without thinking, Xu Jianhua said, "Then I'll secretly save some for you and send it to you later."

Xu Yu: "...No, it would be bad if other people saw it."

Xu Jianhua was a little unhappy. He had delicious food, so why couldn't his sister and brother-in-law have it too?

"Then I won't eat my portion. I'll give it to you."

Xu Yu was deeply moved.

Jiang Yi said: "No need, our village will also have pig-killing dishes to eat when the time comes, and your sister and I will be able to eat them."

"That's good." Xu Jianhua felt relieved.

Then he told Xu Yu about the gossip he had heard.

The gossip he heard was definitely not detailed, so Xu Yu could only listen selectively.

But then I heard a rather explosive piece of gossip: "Sister, when I went out for a run the morning before yesterday, I saw Brother Zhang coming out of Widow Li's house. It was barely daybreak at that time. What do you think he was doing at Widow Li's house?"

Xu Yu asked in surprise: "Which Zhang family brother?"

"You are the one who treats the educated youth sister's brother, the Zhang family's brother."

"..."

Xu Yu was silent.

There are several widows in Hongxing Village, but Widow Li is the most famous.

She became a widow after only one or two years of marriage and had only a daughter. Her in-laws disliked her and separated the mother and daughter. Her parents were also afraid that they would become a burden, so they rarely interacted with her.

But this Widow Li was a hot-tempered person. Xu Yu had seen her standing there with her hands on her hips and swearing at people several times, and sometimes she even quarreled with some gossipy old women.

However, there is a rumor in the village that she will sleep with any man who gives her food or money.

Zhang Hongmei never let Xu Yu contact these people, so all he heard were gossips spread by others.

Xu Jianhua was puzzled when he saw her silence.

Xu Yu reached out and patted his head, saying, "You are still young, you don't need to know what he did."

These words made Jiang Yi, who was washing dishes, turn his head to look at her.

Xu Yu then asked Xu Xiaodi: "Do the villagers know about this?"

"I know, but I didn't say that." Xu Xiaodi quickly clarified: "I only told my mother about it. She told me not to get involved in this matter since I'm young, and not to spread it around."

"and then?"

"Then this morning I heard a lot of people talking about this."

This was all that Little Brother Xu knew, and Xu Yu didn't ask any more questions.

The brother and sister chatted about some other things casually.

After Jiang Yi finished washing the dishes, the three of them went into the main room to wait for Xu Kui and the others to come.

Xu Xiaodi wanted to continue playing with Dingdang and the others, so Jiang Yi brought Dingdang and the tiger baby out.

After a while of casual chatting, they heard Xu Jianping's voice coming from outside the yard: "Sister."

Xu Yu and others hurried out to greet them.

After welcoming the people in, Yang Wenhui and the others brought out the mutton soup that had been specially reserved for them and asked them to eat.

The three members of the Xu family refused for a moment and then started eating.

Then the four elders chatted casually.

Xu Jianping also told Jiang Yi that he wanted him to help reinforce the pigpen fence.

Jiang Yi definitely agreed.

As Xu Jianping ate his soup and meat, he said, "I plan to fence off a piece of land at the back first. After I kill the New Year pig, I'll build a few more pig pens next to it to prepare for raising pigs next year."

Xu Yu asked him, "Have you planned how many pigs to raise in the first batch?"
