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

When the five people walked to the front yard, they saw a dozen men striding towards them from the edge of the field outside.

Except for the man walking in front who should be the leader of the village, the other men were all wearing green military jackets and each of them was carrying a sack, giving people a feeling of being powerful and energetic.

When Xu Yu saw this group of people, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Yi: "Brother Yi, they are all retired soldiers, right?"

Jiang Yi replied, "Two of them are still serving in the army."

Before he could explain, those people had already reached the edge of the yard.

Jiang Yi quickly went towards them.

When these people saw him, their faces were filled with joy, and they kept saying, "Boss, we're here!"

"Boss, we are here!"

……

When Jiang Yi came face to face with them, one of them suddenly shouted, "Salute!"

A dozen people immediately stood at attention and saluted him.

Jiang Yi also saluted them in return.

The atmosphere was so solemn and dignified that Xu Yu and the others unconsciously held their breath, yet an indescribable excitement and emotion welled up in their hearts.

Then Jiang Yi and the two people walking in front of him lowered their shoulders to each other, and then Jiang Yi asked, "Why are you here too?"

One of the men, who looked more cheerful, replied, "We just came back from a mission and heard that you had been to the military area during National Day. We also heard that you were going to build a house, so we came here."

Then he added, "We happened to meet Wang Erwa and his friends on the train, so we came together."

Another man who looked more serious also said: "I said before that I would come to visit your hometown. Now we have a vacation, and we heard that you are going to build a house and get married, so we came to take a look."

Then he asked, "Where are your uncle, aunt, and sister-in-law?"

As soon as he asked, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Xu Yu and the others standing there.

Then the group of people felt their eyes light up.

However, everyone quickly put away their surprise and greeted the few people in unison.

"Hello, uncle and aunt! Hello, sister-in-law!"

Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun immediately smiled amiably and nodded at them: "Hello! Hello!"

"Everyone has come for such a long time and must be tired. Come and sit down and rest."

After the two of them finished talking, they went to bring the bench that had been placed under the eaves to the yard.

How could a group of people have the nerve to ask their elders to bring benches? Many people rushed over and brought the benches out.

When everyone sat down, Yang Wenhui whispered to Jiang Qingyun and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Jianping also hurriedly followed.

Only Xu Yu and Jiang Yi were left to entertain these people.

Jiang Yi first went with Xu Yu to get some fried peanuts, fried chestnuts and wild fruits, and then introduced these people to her.

Among these people, except Zhu Juncheng and Sun Bo who are still in the army, the other nine have retired in the past few years.

The only thing in common is that these people were once Jiang Yi's subordinates.

No one obviously expected that their eldest son would find such a beautiful partner.

The most important thing is that the boss can be so gentle to lesbians!

Everyone looked at Xu Yu with admiration, and they thought Xu Yu was like a fairy.

In addition, Xu Yu has a good personality and is good at chatting, so everyone soon got along well.

These people really regarded Jiang Yi as the boss, so they also respected Xu Yu very much.

Xu Yu preferred to hear about Jiang Yi's life in the military camp, so everyone talked more under the leadership of Zhu Juncheng.

"The boss was once known as the most powerful soldier in China. Every time our major military regions conduct joint exercises, as long as we participate, we will win awards under his leadership."

Xu Yu held his face in his hands and looked at Jiang Yi with admiration, saying, "Brother Yi, you are so awesome!"

Xu Yu's action made more than a dozen male comrades look at Jiang Yi in unison, wanting to see his reaction.

Although Jiang Yi still had no expression on his face, everyone could feel that his aura had become 'gentle', and even his sharp eyes had softened.

Zhu Juncheng wanted to help Jiang Yi establish a better image in Xu Yu's mind, so he smiled and said, "Before, we were wondering what kind of woman the comrade who had been waiting for the boss was. Now that we've seen the sister-in-law, we understand. With a sister-in-law who is both beautiful and intelligent, it's no wonder that the boss can't see anyone else..."

"Zhu Juncheng!"

Jiang Yi suddenly interrupted Zhu Juncheng in an extremely serious voice, giving Zhu Juncheng a pause.

He looked at Jiang Yi, whose eyes had become fierce, with a confused look on his face.

Xu Yu looked at Jiang Yi with a half-smile, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Yi said to Zhu Juncheng seriously: "Xiaoyu is not her."

"what?"

Zhu Juncheng obviously didn't understand.

The others looked confused as well.

Xu Yu put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, but still didn't say anything.

Jiang Yi glanced at her, then continued in a serious tone, "The person I was engaged to before was named He. We had different personalities, so it fell through."

After saying that, he actually took the initiative to hold Xu Yu's hand and continued: "Your sister-in-law's surname is Xu, and her name is Xiaoyu. Remember this."

This sentence had a commanding tone, and the group of people finally came back to their senses and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, we remember it."

"Sorry, sister-in-law. We didn't know and mistook you for us."

……

Xu Yu smiled at everyone and shook his head, saying, "Ignorance is not a crime. You just found out about this, so I definitely won't blame you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Xu Yu smiled and looked at Jiang Yi, thinking that the man she liked was really good. Even though He Yaqin was so ruthless and ungrateful, he never said a bad word about her in front of outsiders.

Since he didn't say anything, she certainly wouldn't say anything.

At this time, Yang Wenhui called from the kitchen: "Xiaoyi, come in and bring out the sugar water."

Jiang Yi stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Others didn't realize they were going to make sweet soup, and they all felt embarrassed:

"We don't drink."

"Uncle and aunt, don't waste it."

……

Xu Yu smiled and said, "You have come from afar and are our guests. Making sugar water is a custom here and a way of entertaining guests. If you don't drink it, people will say we don't know how to entertain guests."

Xu Yu's words immediately made the group of men speechless.

When Jiang Yi and Xu Jianping brought out the sweet soup, they hurriedly stood up to take it.

After drinking the sweet soup, the group of people immediately went to wash the dishes.

Then Jiang Yi took them to the backyard.

For the next period of time, they all slept on the floor in the row of thatched houses in the backyard, and they all happened to bring quilts with them.

At first, Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun felt a little guilty.

"I'm really sorry everyone, you came to help, but you don't even have a place to sleep properly."

Zhu Juncheng smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, you're welcome. Sleeping on the floor here is already very good. It's much better than when we were on a mission on the battlefield before. Besides, most of us don't have much money. A place to sleep in the wind is enough."

Others also said that this environment is already very good.

After all, there was a layer of dry straw on the ground, so they could just wrap themselves in the quilts they brought.

After they put down their luggage, someone came and told them that the bricks and tiles had arrived in town.

The group of people didn't need to rest and followed Jiang Yi to the town.

Xu Jianping and Jiang Qingyun also followed.

Xu Yu was about to go with them, but Jiang Yi stopped her: "You and your mother stay at home. There will be an aunt from the village who will come to help with the cooking. You can make arrangements."

Xu Yu immediately smiled and nodded. She wanted to do something.

Since she couldn't do the job of moving the bricks and tiles back, she could still arrange dinner for everyone.

Sure enough, not long after Jiang Yi and his companions left, two aunts about the same age as Yang Wenhui came.

One of these two people is surnamed Zhu and the other is surnamed Su. They were from the same group of educated youth who came here as Yang Wenhui. They both married into Shangping Village and have always had a good relationship.

Only then did Xu Yu realize that Yang Wenhui had informed them two days ago that they would come to help while their house was being built, and the host would provide them with meals, without asking for any wages.

This is the humanity of most people in rural areas.
