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

After the village meeting, Dr. Hu took a group of people to conduct on-site inspections on the hilltops of each village to find places suitable for building herbal medicine planting bases.

Jiang Yi began to arrange the construction of the factory.

He brought a lot of people this time, and with Zhu Juncheng and the others still there, everyone carried stones from the mountains back to level them and build walls and foundations.

The factory was built directly behind two rows of houses. The houses were used as dormitories, and the factory was built behind them.

Members of the Xu family and those who are close to him also come to help early in the morning and evening every day.

Many villagers would come to watch the fun every day. Everyone wanted to establish a good relationship with Jiang Yi and his friends, and those who came to watch would also help.

During this period, even the town leaders came to show their concern. After all, there was only one stone factory in their town. Jiang Yi's family built a factory with a military hospital behind it, which was enviable if others told them about it.

So the wall around a few acres of land was built very quickly.

Xu Yu is still investing in the production of beauty and whitening drugs.

Xu Yu's family caused such a big commotion, but the one who was most jealous was Jiang Laoer's family.

But they didn't dare to come directly to Xu Yu and the others, so every day they would stop Jiang Shilan on the way, or the two old men would go to the third sister's house to PUA Aunt Jiang.

Jiang Shilan has learned her lesson now, and whenever she is stopped, she agrees to help ask.

When I turned around and arrived at Xu Yu's house, I said to Xu Yu, "Sister-in-law, Second Aunt and Grandma stopped me again this morning and asked me to mention Brother Gang, Sister Yingzi, and Brother Lei in front of you."

Xu Yu sneered and said, "When they ask again, just tell them that we only accept people with a high school diploma or above."

When Jiang Shilan heard this, she suddenly lowered her head in inferiority. She only attended elementary school.

Xu Yu knew what she was thinking, so he said, "You're an exception. Besides, didn't I ask you to teach yourself the knowledge for junior high and high school? You can study while working here. When you've learned enough, I'll send you to college."

Jiang Shilan's heart trembled. She looked at Xu Yu with disbelief and light in her eyes. She wanted to ask her if what she said was true, but she didn't dare to ask.

Xu Yu said to her, "I'm definitely not letting you go to college casually. When the time comes, I'll sign an agreement with you. After you graduate, you have to continue working for me for the rest of your life."

Jiang Shilan was not frightened at all. Instead, she nodded excitedly: "Sister-in-law, as long as you don't drive me away, I will work here for the rest of my life."

Xu Yu looked at his cousin, who was a few years younger than him, and smiled, raised his hand to touch her head, and his voice became gentler: "Then let's make this a deal."

"Ah."

Xu Yu thought for a moment and then said, "When our factory is built, you can learn some self-defense skills from them, otherwise anyone can bully you. Also, you are very good, so you must learn to be confident."

Jiang Shilan's eyes instantly became hot. She stared at Xu Yu blankly, her heart filled with warmth. Although her family treated her well, her family was poor. She had been taught since childhood to help with housework and find an honest and reliable man to marry in the future.

Even if she was bullied, her parents would just ask her to stay away from those who bullied her.

It's nothing like her elder sister-in-law, who asked her to learn self-defense and told her to be confident.

She controlled her tears and nodded solemnly to Xu Yu: "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you."

……

A week later, Mr. Hu and his team determined the location of the herbal planting base.

Just as Jiang Yi had said to Xu Yu at the beginning, they chose the area around Erdaowan. That area was jointly mined by several villages, so they selected a location and convened a villagers' meeting of several villages, explaining how much subsidy they would give to each village when they wanted to grow herbs on the land.

Everyone is very respectful and cooperative towards the people in the military hospital.

After Mr. Hu and his team chose a location, they waited for the wheat planted there to be harvested before they started to enclose it and plant herbs.

Wheat in the south usually matures in June, but the temperature and sunlight in the mountains are somewhat different from those in the mountains, so it cannot be harvested until mid-June.

When the villagers were harvesting wheat together, the first batch of porcelain bottles, glass bottles and wrapping paper ordered by Xu Yu and his team arrived.

Xu Yu found some educated youth to help with the packaging.

She pays them wages.

The educated youth who were found were all very happy.

The villagers were envious again.

Someone came to ask Xu Yu why he didn't ask the villagers for help. They didn't want money, as long as Xu Yu's family provided them with food.

Xu Yu said, "I need someone who knows how to read."

Most of the villagers fell silent.

Some also want their own children who are studying to help.

Xu Yu added, "One dollar for each bottle you break."

The rest of the thoughts were also put to rest.

During the day, Xu Yu took the educated youth to pack and asked them if they were willing to stay and work for her, how much salary she would give them in the early stage, and how much salary she would increase based on their years of service.

The salary she mentioned is no lower than that of large factories in ordinary cities, so everyone will definitely be willing to work there.

In the evening, it is time for the family to spend time with their children.

After dinner, Jiang Yi and Jiang Qingyun moved out several cots from their home. Adults and children sat or lay on them, chatting or looking at the stars.

Although Dr. Huang left after Xu Yu and the others came back, he would be invited by Xu Yu and the others from time to time. Every night when he was about to leave after dinner, Dr. Hu would give him one of the babies, and he would hold another one and say:

"What are you doing back home so late at night? We old guys have worked hard all our lives, and we should cherish the joy of family time at Xiaoyu's house."

Usually Dr. Hu would give him the fruit.

As soon as Guoguo was in his arms, she hugged his neck and babbled to him, which made Dr. Huang's heart melt and he couldn't leave.

While the two old people were playing with Tangtang Guoguo, and Mom and Dad were sitting next to them chatting with them, Xu Yu was lying on Jiang Yi's lap looking at the stars in the sky.

Every time she looked at the stars in the sky, she felt that this was indeed a good era, as the stars in the unpolluted sky were particularly bright.

Especially you can see the Milky Way.

Xu Yu looked at them and said to Jiang Yi, "The beauty products can be given away now."

Jiang Yi replied, "I'll arrange for someone to send you there tomorrow."

Zhu Juncheng and his team drove two cars when they came, but only took one when they left. The other one was left behind to make it easier for them to deliver the beauty products.

This was also the condition that Jiang Yi negotiated with the military.

Xu Yu was planning when the beauty products would be delivered to the various urban areas. As he was talking, he saw a firefly flying into the yard. He immediately sat up and pointed at the fireflies at the edge of the yard and said to everyone, "Look, there are fireflies."

Jiang Yi asked, "Do you want to catch some?"

Xu Yu nodded and said as he put on his shoes, "Brother Yi, go get a glass bottle. We'll catch them and put them in the bottle so we can show them to Tang Tangguo."

Jiang Yi also put on his shoes, stood up, hummed, and walked towards home.

While Xu Yu was waiting for Jiang Yi to get the bottle, he asked the others, "Do you want to catch fireflies?"

Doctor Hu laughed and said, "No, no, this is entertainment for you young people. I, an old man, won't bother with it."

Dr. Huang, Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui all said they couldn't go.

Guoguo was very excited and wanted Xu Yu to carry her.

Xu Yu said to her, "You are so young, stay at home with your two great grandfathers and grandparents. We will catch it and show it to you later."

Guoguo said loudly: "Ah!"

Yang Wenhui said happily: "Our Guoguo is angry."

Guoguo immediately puffed up her little cheeks.

Xu Yu couldn't help but poke her little face with his finger, and then he kissed her, and the little girl was happy.

After applying Guoguo, Xu Yu must apply Tangtang.

Jiang Yi took out a glass bottle. Xu Yu waved at them and said, "Be good, your father and I will help you catch the fireflies."

After saying that, the two of them walked outside.

The weather is nice today, the sky is full of stars and it is bright outside.

The seedlings in the field have grown to more than half a meter tall, and the sounds of frogs and cicadas can be heard everywhere.

Xu Yu walked in front and Jiang Yi walked behind. Although they could clearly see the road under their feet, Jiang Yi still held Xu Yu's hand.

The large palm wrapped around her hand, feeling warm.

They were walking towards the back mountain and could see many flying fireflies along the way.

In addition to the scent of grass, the fragrance of wild flowers also wafts into the air.

Xu Yu sighed as he walked, "It's really refreshing to live here. Back then, industrial pollution was too serious..."

Whenever they were alone, Xu Yu would talk to Jiang Yi about what China would look like in a few decades.

Jiang Yi listened attentively and asked questions when he was interested.

When we walked into the woods behind the mountain, there were even more fireflies.

Xu Yu pulled his hand out, but didn't rush to catch it. He happily went to catch the fireflies.

Jiang Yi, who followed behind her, was responsible for catching him.

After seeing him catch a few in the bottle, Xu Yu directly called him "husband", then threw herself into his arms, and with another jump, wrapped her legs around his waist.

Jiang Yi held the bottle in one hand and supported her hips with the other.

Xu Yu put his arm around his neck and smiled wantonly: "It's dark, perfect for doing bad things. Come, give me a kiss."

After saying that, she pouted and kissed him directly on the lips.
