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

Xiao Tang heard from Xu Yu that the car was driven back by Jiang Yi from the provincial capital, but she subconsciously didn't want Zhou Zhiping to know.

After all, being able to drive such a large car back from the provincial capital is more impressive than borrowing one from the factory in the county town.

She didn't want Zhou Zhiping to know too much about her friend's family background. She always felt that if he knew, and the two of them felt that it was not appropriate, Zhou Zhiping would trouble Xiaoyu and the others.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi quickly answered him: "It's a new addition to our town."

Zhou Zhiping believed it. He touched the front of the car with an expression of longing and fondness for it and said, "I heard that your town has been selected as a key development demonstration town. It turns out that being selected as a key development demonstration town has such good benefits. I feel that the cars of the factories in our county are not as impressive as this one."

No one responded.

Zhou Zhiping didn't care and continued to look at the car. If it wasn't getting dark, he would definitely check it carefully inside and out.

Xiao Tang didn't want him to look at Xu Yu's car like that, so he took Xu Yu's hand and said, "Xiao Yu, it's getting late. You should go back early. Be careful on the road."

Xu Yu nodded at her, glanced at Zhou Zhiping who was still looking at the car, and said to her: "You should go back early too."

Xiao Tang nodded at her, then looked at Jiang Yi and Xu Jianping and said to them, "Comrade Jiang, Comrade Xu, goodbye."

Jiang Yi nodded at her and went to the driver's cab.

Xu Jianping smiled and said to her, "Goodbye, Comrade Xiao Tang."

After saying that, he went to the back consciously.

After all three of them got into the car, Zhou Zhiping and Xiao Tang took a step back and watched their car leave.

As soon as the car left, Xiao Tang couldn't wait to say to Zhou Zhiping: "Comrade Zhou, it's getting late. I want to go back."

Zhou Zhiping said gently: "I'll take you there."

Xiao Tang didn't really want him to send her off, so he said, "My home is not far from here, yours is a little further away, you can go back, you don't have to send me off."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhiping said to her in a serious tone: "Auntie and I promised to take you home safely. We can't go back on our word. Especially as a man, how can I let you, a woman, walk alone at night?"

Xiao Tang pointed to people walking nearby and reminded him, "There are still people on the street. I'm not walking alone at night."

But Zhou Zhiping didn't listen and kept saying, "I won't let you walk alone at night."

Xiao Tang felt inexplicably annoyed and said, "Whatever you want."

After saying that, he walked forward first.

As she walked, she considered whether or not she should continue to be with Zhou Zhiping.

Zhou Zhiping certainly didn't know what she was thinking. He took out a five-yuan note, a two-yuan note, and a fifty-cent note from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang looked at him in confusion.

Zhou Zhiping said, "Xiao Tang, we spent seven dollars and thirty cents on dinner tonight. You can give the money to Comrade Xu when the time comes. I said it was my treat tonight, and I feel bad that Comrade Jiang paid the bill. You don't have to give him the change for the remaining two cents."

He certainly couldn't tell Xiao Tang that he was intimidated by Jiang Yi's aura and those eyes and didn't dare rush to pay, so he said to her seriously: "Your friends are my friends, and it's only right that I treat them tonight. Besides, I'm already very happy that you brought your friends to meet me."

After saying that, he even smiled and asked her: "Xiao Tang, are you willing to bring your friend over to meet me? Have you already..."

"No." Xiao Tang interrupted him directly and said politely: "Comrade Zhou, I'm sorry, I still don't have any feelings for you, how about we..." Forget it.

"Then let's continue dating." Zhou Zhiping interrupted Xiao Tang this time and confessed directly: "Xiao Tang, I really like you. I have liked you since the moment I saw you. Give me some more time, and I will try my best to make you like me."

Having said that, he was obviously a little excited and reached out to hold Xiao Tang's hand.

Xiao Tang was startled and quickly took a big step to the side, saying, "Sorry, I have to go back."

After saying that, he ran forward.

Zhou Zhiping hurriedly chased after him: "Xiao Tang, listen to me."

The two men were chasing each other and running. There were many people walking on the street at that time, but when they saw them like this, they all stopped and looked at them.

Xiao Tang felt his face burning.

It's not that I'm embarrassed, but I feel extremely ashamed.

This made her even less willing to get along with Zhou Zhiping.

……

At this time, Xu Yu and Xu Jianping, who were sitting in the car, were also talking about Xiao Tang and Zhou Zhiping.

Xu Jianping said with certainty: "Xiao Tang and Comrade Zhou will definitely not be able to get along."

Xu Yu asked curiously, "How can you, a person who doesn't even understand your own feelings, tell that Xiao Tang and Comrade Zhou can't get along?"

Xu Jianping complained, "What don't I understand? I understand, and that's why I don't get along with them!"

Then he added, "I don't think this Comrade Zhou is worthy of Xiao Tang. If you're looking for a lesbian like Xiao Tang, you better find one who's good-looking."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu was silent for a long time before he said to Xu Jianping, "Second brother, when did you start judging people by their appearance?"

Xu Jianping analyzed: "It's not that I judge people by appearance, it's that Xiao Tang is good-looking. She must marry a man who is as good-looking as her. Only then will she be worthy of having you treat her face and whiten her skin for so long."

Xu Yu was speechless.

So she tilted her head and asked Jiang Yi: "Brother Yi, what do you think?"

Jiang Yi simply said, "Comrade Zhou is not a good match for Comrade Xiao Tang."

Xu Yu and Xu Jianping were both very curious about why he would say that.

Xu Jianping asked loudly, "Jiang Yi, how do you know they are not a good match?"

Jiang Yi: "Comrade Zhou was actually unhappy for a moment when he first saw us. But after he saw who we were, his attitude toward us improved, especially after he saw the car... People like him are very motivated."

Xu Yu and Xu Jianping fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Xu Yu decided, "Next time I go to the county town, I'll talk to Xiao Tang about it."

Anyway, before going to the provincial capital, they will definitely go to the county town every now and then, and she will have plenty of opportunities to talk about this with Xiao Tang.

……

The next day, Xu Yu and Jiang Yi went to visit the old comrade who lived in the cowshed and was very knowledgeable about architectural design.

Then the two of them drew the design of the house in the county town based on the old comrade's suggestions.

After dinner in the evening, Xu Yu explained the design of the county houses to Jiang Qingyun and others.

Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui nodded repeatedly and praised it.

Zhang Qiang even said, "My family also wants to build a house. Boss, sister-in-law, when you finish building your house, please give me the design drawings. I will take them back and have them build it according to the drawings."

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi had no objection.

The next day, except Jiang Qingyun, everyone else followed him to the county town.

Director Wu and Deputy Director Li helped them find people to build the house, and then Jiang Yi also told them about the design of the house and their requirements.

In this era, all the documents for building a house in the city are obtained when the house is rented, and the workers for repairing the house are also hired separately.

So as long as you negotiate the price with them and prepare the necessary materials, you can start work immediately.

Jiang Yi and Xu Yu planned to finish building the house before leaving the county for the provincial capital, so after meeting the workers, Jiang Yi sent Xu Yu to Xiao Tang, and then he and Yang Wenhui took a few men to buy stones for the foundation.

Xu Yu was still thinking about how to tell Xiao Tang about Zhou Zhiping, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tang said to her first: "Xiao Yu, I went home and told my mom the night before last that I don't want to be with Comrade Zhou anymore."

Xu Yu was not surprised, so he asked, "What did Auntie say?"

Xiao Tang said helplessly and angrily, "My mom said Comrade Zhou is a good person and down-to-earth, and that his family conditions are similar to ours. I didn't know what was good for me, so I argued with her for a few words, and then she stopped talking to me since yesterday."

Xu Yu: “…”
