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

Since Jiang Yi was going to the county town to buy bricks and tiles the next day, the three Xu siblings also planned to go with him.

So the next day, before dawn, everyone got up except Xu Jianhua.

After Xu Yu washed up and walked into the kitchen, he saw Zhang Hongmei and Xu Jianjun putting the freshly made sweet potato and multi-grain steamed buns into the pot to steam.

Xu Jianping was making a fire, and Xu Kui and his grandparents were sitting on stools nearby.

Zhang Hongmei put the steamed buns on the table and said, "I don't know if these steamed buns will be enough for you for lunch. If not, you two can eat less and let Xiao Jiang have enough."

"Also, please keep an eye on your sister when you get to the county town. It's her first time there, so don't let her get lost."

Hearing this, Xu Yu suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or be moved.

At this time, grandma spoke, her tone was full of satisfaction: "Xiao Jiang's family is really good. They can actually go to the county town to buy bricks and tiles to repair the house. It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Grandpa said, "It must cost several hundred dollars."

Grandma: "I wonder if they can still afford such a large gift after they built a brick house?"

Grandpa: "He has been a soldier for so many years. I heard that he can get a lot of subsidies when he comes back injured. He will definitely be able to take it out."

Grandma: "That's good, that's good."

The two elders laughed after they finished speaking, and it was obvious that they were going to go out and brag about something again.

Xu Yu then greeted them: "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, brothers."

Everyone looked at Xu Yu who was standing outside the kitchen.

Xu Jianping grinned and said to her deliberately: "We said we would wake you up after breakfast is ready, but I didn't expect you to get up on your own. It seems our little girl is also excited."

Xu Yu smiled at him and said, "Second brother, you look more excited than me."

Xu Jianping also did not deny it: "I am definitely a little excited. I have never been to a brick and tile factory before. This time I will go and take a look. Maybe when I get married, I will have enough money to buy bricks and tiles to repair my house."

Zhang Hongmei exposed his true colors: "With your extravagant spending habits and your inability to save money, you'll be lucky enough to be able to support your wife, and you still want to build a brick house."

Xu Jianping was hit hard and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, can you please give me some face?"

The others were amused by his words.

Xu Yu echoed, "I believe what Big Brother said about building a brick and tile house. At least he is more reliable than you."

Xu Jianping didn't argue. Instead, he shrugged and said, "So I have to work hard for a few more years before I can get married. I can't let my wife suffer with me."

Everyone knows his little thoughts.

Zhang Hongmei laughed and scolded him, "Stop making excuses. After your brother gets married, I'll find a matchmaker to introduce me to a girl, or you can find one yourself. Anyway, you have to find me one next year."

"I don't want it. I've already planned to raise more pigs next year. I don't have time for romance. Mom, instead of staring at me, you might as well let my eldest brother and sister-in-law give you a grandson to take care of. That way you won't have the energy to criticize me."

"Jianjun and Cui'e are more reliable than you. I don't care about them. I only care about your business."

"No! Please let me play for two more years."

"impossible."

The people around him didn't join in, just listened to Zhang Hongmei scolding Xu Jianping.

After the steamed buns were ready, the three brothers and sisters had breakfast and set off with the buns.

Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping both rode bicycles.

Xu Yu sat on the back seat of Xu Jianjun's bicycle.

They agreed with Jiang Yi to meet in town.

It was just dawn at this time, and many families had already gotten up early to chop firewood and wash clothes.

The mornings in late autumn were particularly chilly. Xu Yu tightened his clothes, breathed in the unpolluted air, and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

When they arrived at the parking lot outside the town, the three of them immediately saw Jiang Yi standing there waiting for them.

There were still a few people in the parking lot at this time, obviously they were all going to the county town.

They were either squatting or standing, with backpacks, baskets and shoulder poles beside them, and they were all far away from Jiang Yi.

Xu Yu saw Jiang Yi and stuck his head out from behind Xu Jianjun, smiling and waving at him, "Brother Yi, we're here."

The two bicycles quickly stopped next to Jiang Yi.

Xu Yu jumped out of the back seat of the car and walked in front of Jiang Yi.

Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping went to park their bicycles at the designated bicycle parking spot in the parking lot.

There was also a backpack at Jiang Yi's feet.

Xu Yu subconsciously looked down at his backpack.

Inside was a large bag of something wrapped in oil paper, some fruit snacks, a military water bottle, and underneath was a clean fertilizer bag filled with something. There seemed to be something else underneath, but it was blocked by the fertilizer bag.

Jiang Yi then said to her, "There's an egg and scallion pancake inside the oil-paper package. We'll eat it at noon, and the rest is for you to eat on the way."

Xu Yu looked at the several snacks, including oranges.

You know, the oranges are not very ripe yet. She remembered that there were two oranges next to Jiang Yi's house. These oranges were obviously picked in the morning, so she reached out and took out an orange.

Then he asked Jiang Yi with a smile: "Why did you pick oranges?"

"Orange peels can cure motion sickness, so I just picked two."

The two brothers who had parked their car over there heard this. Xu Jianping smiled and said to Xu Jianjun, "It seems Jiang Yi is very considerate. We didn't think about what would happen if our sister got carsick later."

After the two came over, Xu Jianjun also took a look at the backpack next to Jiang Yi, put all the things in the sack in his hand into it, and then put the backpack on his back and said, "Let me carry the backpack."

Jiang Yi did not object.

Xu Jianping actually knew the people not far away. They turned out to be village cadres from several other villages.

Xu Jianping chatted with them for a few words, and not long after, the car to the county town arrived and everyone got on the car together.

There was no car specifically designed to carry people from the town to the county seat. They took a truck. Except for the driver's seat and co-pilot seat in the front, the rear bed was completely open.

The passenger seat was already occupied, so everyone could only sit in the back bed. Half of the bed was already piled with cargo, and with everyone's backpacks and baskets, there was relatively little space left to sit.

The other few people were obviously a little afraid of Jiang Yi and tried to sit as far away from him as possible.

Jiang Yi didn't care and took out the cushion from the backpack.

Only then did Xu Yu realize that he had prepared it specially for her.

She sat on a futon, while everyone else sat directly on the truck bed.

The road from their town to the county town is all dirt, and after years of being trampled by cars, it has deep and shallow gullies and potholes.

Except for Jiang Yi who was sitting very steadily and Xu Jianjun who was able to keep his composure somewhat, the others were tossed around continuously.

Xu Yu was originally sitting on a futon, next to Jiang Yi and his two brothers.

But not long after the car drove out, she was tossed back and forth even though she was holding onto the car railing with one hand.

Especially since she had to keep exerting force to hold onto the railing, she soon felt her arms becoming extremely sore.

When she was thrown up again, her hands subconsciously let go of the railing, and then her body fell forward.

"what-"

The next second, a big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Xu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yi.

Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping asked at the same time with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"

Xu Yu turned to look at them and said miserably, "Something's wrong. I feel like my internal organs are going to be thrown out."

Xu Jianjun comforted her: "Just bear with it. This road is like this. It will be fine when we get to the county town."

Xu Yu asked: "How long do you have to endure it?"

Xu Jianjun was a little reluctant to tell her the time.

Xu Jianping said, "At least two hours."

Xu Yu immediately showed an expression of despair.

Xu Jianping suggested: "Why don't you grab one of our arms? That should be better."

Xu Yu thought it made sense and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Yi's arm.

The car jolted again.

Xu Yu was almost thrown out again.

She simply hugged Jiang Yi's arm.

Jiang Yi was originally sitting there with his legs bent, his hands casually placed on his thighs.

Everyone else was tossed around, but he was as solid as a rock and was never thrown up.

As soon as Xu Yu hugged his arm, her chest inevitably pressed against his arm. She felt his arm tremble and his muscles suddenly became extremely stiff.

Xu Yu felt inexplicably ashamed and stepped back a little.

There was already some distance between my chest and his arm.

Unexpectedly, the car jolted violently again.

His chest pressed tightly against hers again.

Xu Yu saw a man sitting straighter, and his ears seemed to have turned red.

Xu Yu's cheeks also turned red. She coughed lightly and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, why don't you put your arm around my shoulders? This way I won't be thrown out."

Jiang Yi tilted his head to look at her, his eyes deep and his lips tightly pursed.

The sun had just risen at this time, and his tough, cool face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

The scar on his face also became more prominent.

The aura emanating from him was so powerful that it made people's heart palpitate.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she simply lifted his arm and put her head under his arm. After her head rested on his shoulder, she put his arm on her shoulder.

Finally, she patted his stiff chest. The muscles under her palm were firm and powerful. She quickly suppressed her inappropriate thoughts and said to him seriously, "Brother Yi, hold my shoulders tight and don't let the car throw me out."

Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping, who were sitting nearby and watching their sister's movements, said: "..."

Sister, be reserved!

You'll scare people away!
