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

When Xu Kui and Xu Jianping returned home, Xu Yu, Jiang Yi and Xu Jianhua happened to be sitting under the eaves.

Xu Jianhua was sitting on a low stool and leaning over a high stool to write.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi sat on another high bench and watched him write. While Xu Jianhua was writing, he asked Jiang Yi about fighting and killing enemies.

Although Jiang Yi's response was short each time, he still responded every time.

This made the father and son who were standing at the edge of the yard watching this scene show expressions of surprise on their faces at the same time.

They thought their younger son/brother would be particularly afraid of Jiang Yi.

When they saw the two people coming back, the three people sitting under the eaves greeted them.

Zhang Hongmei heard their voices and called out from the kitchen, "Now that everyone's back, let's get ready for dinner."

Xu Kui and Xu Jianping walked towards the water tank together.

Xu Yu and Jiang Yi walked towards the kitchen together.

After everyone put the food on the table, they sat around it.

Among the group of people, only the grandparents dared not look at Jiang Yi or talk to him.

Zhang Hongmei told the father and son that Jiang Yi had come back and chopped a lot of firewood, so Xu Kui asked Xu Jianping to get some wine.

"Let's have a drink tonight, a few men."

In that era, wine was a precious commodity. If you wanted to drink some wine, you not only needed a wine ticket, but also liquor cost 80 cents per pound, not to mention better bottled wine. Most families would only afford to buy a pound or two to drink unless it was a festival or something important.

Even if you drink, just one or two sips per person will be enough to satisfy your craving.

Xu Kui is actually not very willing to drink alcohol. Even though his two sons are now successful, especially the eldest son who can earn dozens of yuan a month, and the younger son is also doing well, but both sons are not married yet, so he will definitely not spend the money if he can.

But today Jiang Yi came. Although he knew that this young man was a hero, he didn't think much of him at first. But after what happened today, he suddenly felt that this young man was not bad.

Plus, he also wanted to test Jiang Yi's character.

It is said that a person's character can be best tested at the wine table, so he decided to reluctantly give up and have a good drink with Jiang Yi tonight.

Xu Jianping quickly brought out his collection of bottled wine that cost two yuan and fifty cents a bottle.

Then he went to get another bowl.

Usually, when everyone drinks, they share a bowl, taking a sip each. Xu Jianping thought it would be the same tonight, but unexpectedly, Xu Kui said to him, "Second brother, go get two more bowls."

Xu Jianping looked at his father, then at Jiang Yi. He knew what his father was thinking, so he went to get two more bowls.

Xu Yu saw Xu Kui's attitude and guessed that he wanted to have a good drink with Jiang Yi tonight. Thinking about the fact that the wine in this era was not adulterated at all, it was all real strong liquor. Although Jiang Yi was in good health and could drink, he still asked worriedly: "Brother Yi, can you drink?"

Zhang Hongmei was also worried that Jiang Yi couldn't drink, so she said to Xu Kui: "Old Xu, if you want to drink, just drink some yourself. If Xiao Jiang can't drink, you can't force him to drink."

Xu Kui just looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi nodded: "I can drink a little."

"Don't force yourself. Drink as much as you can."

"it is good."

Xu Jianping, who was pouring wine, looked at the two of them, then looked at his father, and thought, at worst, I can help Brother Jiang drink some later, so he poured a bottle of wine into three bowls.

When Zhang Hongmei saw him pour so much wine, she frowned.

Don’t they know how much the father and son can drink?

He was planning to get all three of them drunk!

Xu Kui waited for the wine to be poured, picked up the wine bowl, and said to Jiang Yi: "Xiao Jiang, come, have a drink with uncle. Thank you for helping me with so much work today."

Jiang Yi picked up the wine bowl, the two of them clinked their glasses, and each took a sip.

After drinking it, Xu Kui squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and let out a sigh of enjoyment.

Then Xu Jianping joined in.

"Brother Jiang, let's have a drink too."

The two young men didn't say much when toasting, they just clinked their glasses and took a sip each.

Then, as Zhang Hongmei asked them to eat from time to time and Xu's father and son talked, the three of them drank more and more.

Brother Xu soon drank too much and his face turned red like a monkey's butt. He put his hand on Jiang Yi's shoulder and said in a floating voice: "Brother Jiang, let me tell you! My sister is the treasure of our family. No one can bully her. Since she likes you, I will definitely support you, but you can't bully her, otherwise..."

He was about to say that he would take care of him, but when he saw the size difference between the two men, he changed his words: "My brother and I will take care of you."

Even though Jiang Yi drank half a bowl of wine, he still looked calm and straight as he sat upright, saying, "I won't bully you."

Xu Yu looked at Second Brother Xu with amusement and asked him, "Second Brother, are you drunk?"

Xu Xiaodi echoed: "Second brother must be drunk."

Brother Xu was a little unhappy that his sister and brother said he was drunk. He glared at them and ignored them. He continued to say to Jiang Yi: "Don't look at my sister as heartless, but she is a girl. Girls who have experienced betrayal will be sad. You have to promise me that you will not betray her in the future."

Zhang Hongmei held her forehead with her hand.

Brat, can you say that now?

She hurriedly winked at her man.

Xu Kui could drink more than Xu Jianping. He asked Xu Jianping to sit down properly: "Look at how you sit, and then look at Xiao Jiang. You should have been sent to the army in the first place."

In fact, Brother Xu Er also wanted to join the army that year, but he fell seriously ill when he was old enough to join the army, so he didn't go. Later, his family didn't let him go.

Because of this incident, he was depressed and decadent for a long time, so when he heard this, he picked up the wine and took another sip.

Xu Kui ignored him and continued drinking with Jiang Yi, chatting about things in the military camp while drinking.

Xu Kui had been a squad leader when he was in the army. When he heard that Jiang Yi had been promoted to the rank of regimental commander, he was impressed and admired him very much.

Unconsciously, Xu Kui had drunk a little too much and asked, "Xiao Jiang, since you've become the regiment commander, why do you insist on retiring? Even if you're seriously injured and apply to move behind the scenes, the military will definitely find you a good position."

When he asked this, others looked at him curiously.

Xu Jianping looked even more drunk by this point, and he asked in confusion, "If you had stayed in the military, with such a high-ranking position, wouldn't it be a hundred times, a thousand times better than coming back to be a peasant?"

Jiang Yi replied, "When I joined the army, I promised my parents that if I was seriously injured, I would come back."

Thinking that he was the only child his parents had, everyone fell silent.

Xu Yu couldn't help but pick up a piece of food for him at this time: "Brother Yi, eat some food."

Jiang Yi tilted his head and said to her, "Thank you."

Xu Yu smiled at him.

Xu Xiaodi, who had been sitting next to him and listening to the story, also said in an admiring tone: "Brother Jiang is really amazing!"

In that way, he had become a complete little fanboy, and there was no trace of the scared look when he first saw him, sitting on the ground and crying.

Zhang Hongmei stood up and said, "I'll go cook some more food while you guys drink."

Let's go.

Jiang Yi called him: "Auntie, you don't have to cook."

Xu Kui thought for a moment and said to Zhang Hongmei, "Hongmei, go get us some more peanuts."

Zhang Hongmei thought about it, nodded, and went to get them a lot of raw peanuts.

When the wine bowl was empty, Xu Kui asked Jiang Yi, "Xiao Jiang, can you drink more?"

Jiang Yi: "Yes."

Xu Kui went to get another bottle of wine himself and said, "Then let's have a good drink tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Yu's eyes lit up and he asked directly: "Dad, did you promise me to be with Brother Yi?"

After asking, he stood up, took the bottle from him, and said, "I'll pour it for you."

Xu Kui glanced at the 'diligent' Xu Yu, then looked at Jiang Yi, meeting his calm and upright eyes. He felt that the scar on his face looked much better. He said, "I believe you are a good man with a sense of responsibility. You and Xiaoyu should continue to be together. During National Day, our two families can sit down and have a good talk about your affairs."

There is only one week left until National Day.

Hearing this, Xu Yu looked at Jiang Yi with a smile.

Jiang Yi was still sitting there straight, but upon hearing this, he said, "Uncle Xu, I'm sorry, I have to go to the provincial capital for National Day."

Xu Kui paused for a moment, knowing that he must have important matters to attend to in the provincial capital, so he didn't ask any questions, only asking, "When are you leaving?"

Jiang Yi: "The day after tomorrow."

Xu Kui: "Okay, when you come back from the provincial capital, our two families will get together again."

Jiang Yi: "Yeah."

Then the two continued drinking.
