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

Chapter 130: It's up to you how long it takes, I'll cooperate with you

When they returned home, Jiang Qingyun and Yang Wenhui were both out.

Xu Yu hurriedly pulled Jiang Yi towards their room: "Brother Yi, let's quickly take the mattress and quilt out to dry in the sun, and then wash the clothes and sheets."

Thinking of the indescribable marks they left on the bed sheets that night, although Jiang Yi had already changed them when she got up the next day, she was embarrassed to take them out for washing and drying as there were so many people at home yesterday. It was just right that now everyone had left and her parents were not at home, so they should wash and dry them quickly so that it would not be so embarrassing.

The two quickly walked into their bedroom. Xu Yu let go of Jiang Yi and walked towards the basket of dirty clothes.

There were only the pajamas and underwear she had changed out of in the morning, as well as Jiang Yi's underwear.

Xu Yu thought Jiang Yi had hidden the bed sheets and clothes he had changed yesterday, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Yi, where are the bed sheets and my pajamas you changed yesterday?"

Jiang Yi pointed to the wardrobe and said, "I've washed it and put it in the closet."

Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Who washed it?"

"I."

Jiang Yi finished speaking and carried the quilt and mattress outside, saying as he walked: "We don't have much to change today, so we'll wash them at home. Go to the kitchen and scoop some hot water to soak them. I'll dry these and wash them."

Xu Yu watched him walk out, her face flushed after realizing what was happening. She hurried after him and asked uncertainly, "Brother Yi, did you wash our sheets the night before last?"

Jiang Yi had already carried the quilt and mattress to the bamboo tripod specially set up at the edge of the yard, and he nodded.

Xu Yu then asked, "Did you dry the mattress that was soiled the night before?"

Jiang Yi: "It's been exposed to the sun."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he hung the quilt and mattress on the bamboo pole to dry. He found Xu Yu still standing by the door in a daze, and did not ask her to take out the clothes she had changed.

He walked over to her and said, "You go do your work, I'll do the laundry."

Xu Yu snapped back to her senses, her cheeks flushed. She glanced guiltily towards the courtyard entrance, and with a strange expression, she lowered her voice and asked, "There were so many people at our house yesterday. Did they see you washing the sheets? And when you were drying the mattress, did they see you?"

Jiang Yi saw Xu Yu's guilty look and knew she was shy, so he said to her, "Yesterday I went to the river to wash and didn't let them follow me. The mattress and quilt were drying in the woods behind."

"Wouldn't more people see us if we sunbathe in the woods?"

"No, I asked Dingdang to watch over it, and no one dared to go over there."

"..."

Xu Yu saw Jiang Yi walking towards the bedroom, so he followed him and explained to him as he walked: "There are things on the mattress... well, anyone with a discerning eye can tell what's going on. I feel a little uncomfortable being seen."

Jiang Yi: "Well, they're gone, no need to be awkward."

"But...it will still be awkward if my parents see it."

Jiang Yi suddenly stopped and looked at her, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face. He said to her with a very serious expression: "Mom and Dad have been through this before. If we don't dry the quilt, they might think we're not in a good relationship."

Xu Yu suddenly felt that her open-mindedness was not as good as Brother Yi's: "...Really?"

"Ah."

Jiang Yi continued to walk inside.

Xu Yu followed up and blurted out, "Then how often do you think we should dry the quilt?"

After asking the question, I realized belatedly that the question was too direct and I needed to explain.

Jiang Yi didn't give her a chance to explain. He stopped and looked at her with a deep gaze: "How long do you say it will take? I'll cooperate with you."

After saying that, he went in.

Xu Yu was left there daydreaming, his cheeks flushed.

It was not until Jiang Yi took out the clothes they had changed out of that she suppressed her heat and followed him to the specially built washing stone in the yard.

The two of them washed and hung the clothes together, then went to unpack all of Xu Yu's dowry and put them away one by one.

Yang Wenhui didn't come back until after ten o'clock.

Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui cooked lunch together, with Jiang Yi helping out.

In the afternoon, the two continued to pack their things.

In addition to the wardrobe, they also bought a ready-made bookcase.

Xu Yu only then discovered that Brother Yi had a lot of books.

His books not only cover military matters, but also machinery, weapons... and even a lot of newspapers.

Xu Yu only had a few medical books.

So after she put the books away, she watched Jiang Yi organize them.

While reading, he asked, "Brother Yi, why do you keep so many newspapers?"

As she spoke, she flipped through the books. He had arranged them according to date, and the earliest date was after he came back last year.

In her memory, her father, as the village chief, could also go to the town to get newspapers, but after he finished reading the newspapers, his family would use them to wrap things or use them as fire starters.

No one is like him who keeps all of them.

Jiang Yi told her, "I'm keeping the ones related to military and national affairs. I don't want to miss anything about the country and the military."

Xu Yu had nothing to say.

In the afternoon, Xu Yu took over the task of helping Jiang Yi decoct medicine.

In addition to helping him decoct medicine, she also prepared some special "facial masks".

When Jiang Yi was drinking the medicine, she said to him, "I won't change your medicine for now. These medicines are very good, but I want to give you acupuncture... Do you dare to give me your body?"

Jiang Yi didn't even think about it and nodded: "I dare."

Xu Yu smiled at him, and after watching him finish the medicine, he took out a candy and gave it to him like a magic trick: "Brother Yi, eat candy, it can suppress the bitter taste in your mouth."

Jiang Yi looked at the candy in her hand. Even though he didn't like candy very much, he took it and ate it under her bright eyes.

Suddenly I realized that sugar is indeed sweet.

Xu Yu waited until he finished eating the candy, and then said, "I have to prepare for this matter. I also need to talk to my parents. Then I can call Grandpa Huang over to watch over it, so that everyone can be at ease."

After all, everyone knows that she has only been studying medicine for a short time, and she has never performed acupuncture on anyone here. Regardless of whether they trust her or not, she has to make everyone feel at ease.

Jiang Yi had no problem and expressed clear trust in her medical skills.

Xu Yu couldn't help but smile and asked him, "Brother Yi, you trust me so much. If I ruin your health, will you blame me?"

Jiang Yi didn't say whether it was strange or not, but just asked her: "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Xu Yu said confidently: "Of course."

Jiang Yi: "I have one too."

Xu Yu's heartstrings were stirred by his words. He couldn't help but glance at the door to the backyard, then gestured to Jiang Yi: "Brother Yi, please lean over a little. I want to tell you something in private."

Jiang Yi didn't doubt it and bent down and leaned his head towards her.

Then Xu Yu kissed his lips.

After the kiss, seeing that he was still in this position, she pushed his shoulder and smiled like a fox: "Stand up straight, otherwise mom and dad will misunderstand when they come to the backyard."

Jiang Yi: "..."

Jiang Yi stood up straight and looked at her with his deep eyes without saying a word.

Xu Yu felt his ears burning with inexplicable heat when he was stared at, but he deliberately winked at him with a little pride in his eyes.

It seems to be saying, I kissed you, do you want to kiss me back?

Jiang Yi certainly wouldn't kiss her back at this time. He looked at her for a while, then simply took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and went to chop wood nearby.

Xu Yu looked at the bulging muscles in his arms as he gripped the axe, and thought that it would be very tempting to ask him to do push-ups with his bare chest.

How about letting him do it tonight?

……

During dinner, Xu Yu told the elders about his plan to give Jiang Yi acupuncture.

After hearing this, the two of them did not object. They just said that it was their business and they could discuss it among themselves.

After dinner and cleaning up, the four of them sat in the main room, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.

The wind was howling outside. Xu Yu went to mix some 'facial masks' and applied them together with Yang Wenhui. He also applied the special ointment he made for Jiang Yi on his scar.

Under Yang Wenhui's command, Jiang Qingyun brought Dingdang and Tiger Baby in.

After Dingdang came in, she squatted between Jiang Yi and Xu Yu. Her eyes looked at Xu Yu and then at Yang Wenhui, then she showed a puzzled expression, and finally she cast her gaze on Jiang Yi's face, which was also covered with black stuff. She was obviously worried, and she even stretched out her front legs to pat Jiang Yi's legs, and made a low whining sound.

Jiang Yi said to it, "It's not dangerous. It will be beneficial if you apply it."

Dingdang felt relieved and squatted there quietly.

The tiger cub would run to play at the feet of Yang Wenhui and Jiang Qingyun, then play at the legs of Xu Yu and Jiang Yi. When he got tired of playing, he would lie down on Dingdang and snore comfortably.

Xu Yu exclaimed in admiration: "Dingdang is so smart, and the tiger cub is so well behaved!"

Yang Wenhui smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, having them every day makes my life more interesting."

These words made several people couldn't help but raise the corners of their lips.
