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

Chapter 286 Brother Xu Wants to Hide Huanhuan

Xu Yu thought that Doctor Chang would need to think for a few days before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up early the next morning, she saw her brother taking Huanhuan and insisting on going back.

Yang Wenhui was teasing him: "Jianhua, if you don't eat, you have to let Huanhuan eat before you leave. Besides, we have so much meat at home. If you don't help eat some, what will we do if we can't finish it?"

Xu Jianhua, who usually loves to eat meat, said very stubbornly: "I won't eat it. I want to go back and hide Sister Huanhuan so that Doctor Chang can't take her away."

Huanhuan stood obediently behind Xu Jianhua. She was smaller than other children her age, and standing behind Xu Jianhua, who had grown a lot this year, completely blocked her view. She quietly peeked out, looked at her mother, and said loudly, "I won't leave. I want to play with my brother."

Zhang Hongmei looked ashamed and pretended to hit Xu Jianhua: "You little bastard, if you continue to teach Huanhuan nonsense, I'm going to beat you up."

Xu Jianhua finally had a younger sister, so he didn't want to be the younger brother anymore. He puffed out his chest and shouted back, "You can hit me if you want, but you are not allowed to take Sister Huanhuan away."

Doctor Chang just stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Others stood by and watched the show.

When Xiao Tang saw Xu Yu coming out, he immediately let her pass.

Xu Yu came over and asked, "What did Jianhua sing this morning?"

Zhao Cui'e smiled and said to her, "Before dawn this morning, Jianhua sneaked into our room while we were still asleep, woke Huanhuan up, and prepared to take her away."

Xiao Tang continued, "When we found him, he had already helped Huanhuan put on her clothes and was holding her, preparing to sneak out. When we found him, he ran out with Huanhuan."

When Xiao Tang saw Xu Jianhua's surprise and guilt when he was discovered holding Huanhuan, and then he ran away, he couldn't help but continue laughing.

Xu Yu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, so he said to Xu Jianhua: "Brother, if someone asked you to separate from your mother, would you be willing?"

Xu Jianhua was stunned by the question, but he glanced at Huanhuan who was tugging at his shirt from behind and said with a firm face: "I am Huanhuan's brother. I can take care of Huanhuan."

After saying that, she added, "You all said that Aunt Chang has to continue seeing patients when she returns, and she can't always take Sister Huanhuan with her. Sister Huanhuan will be scared and cry if she's alone."

These words made everyone's smile disappear.

Especially Dr. Chang, a look of self-blame and sadness quickly flashed across his face.

Xu Jianhua then said to Doctor Chang, "Aunt Chang, I will take good care of Huanhuan. You go and save our country's heroes. I will take Huanhuan with me to study. Huanhuan said that she will become a doctor as good as you in the future."

Doctor Chang suddenly lost his composure and burst into tears.

She quickly wiped away her tears and called out, "Huanhuan."

It took Huanhuan several seconds before he stuck his little head out and looked at her again.

Doctor Chang said to her, "If you stay here, you will have to wait a long time before you can see your mother. Are you willing?"

Huanhuan was obviously a little shaken.

Xu Jianhua immediately said, "Sister Huanhuan, if you go back with Aunt Chang, you will never see your brother again."

Huanhuan's hesitation immediately dissipated, and she said loudly and eagerly, "I want to follow my brother."

Doctor Chang asked, "If you follow your brother, will you cry if you can't see your mother?"

Huanhuan tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said, "Don't cry."

Dr. Chang felt inexplicably sad.

Huanhuan added, "My brother taught me how to count and write, read comic books to me, taught me how to skip rope and hit sandbags, and even took me to catch grasshoppers and crickets..."

The little girl actually listed a lot of things that Xu Jianhua could teach her to do.

Hearing this, Dr. Chang felt even more sad.

But the hesitation in my heart also became firm.

She looked at Zhang Hongmei and the others.

Zhang Hongmei said, "If you trust us to raise Huanhuan in a rough way, then keep her."

Doctor Chang shook his head and said, "Rough care can actually make Huanhuan happy, which is worth more than anything else."

Xu Yu knew that Dr. Chang had figured it out, so he smiled and said, "Since Huanhuan wants to stay, let's have a good chat."

Dr. Chang thought so too.

Jiang Yi asked several comrades who came over to cook, and they sat in the main room and chatted.

Huanhuan has lived here for several months, and everyone knows her personality and preferences, so there is no need to explain them specifically.

Dr. Chang told them how often he would visit Huanhuan in the future, and also said that he would give money to Zhang Hongmei and others.

Zhang Hongmei definitely didn't want it and refused it directly.

Doctor Chang said, "Even if I take Huanhuan back home, I'll have to pay someone to help take care of Huanhuan. If I don't give it to you, I'll have to give it to someone else. I trust you and know you won't treat Huanhuan badly, but I can't let you take care of my daughter for nothing. I'll feel uneasy..."

Doctor Chang spoke sincerely, and later Xu Yu and Jiang Yi also agreed to charge some money, and then Zhang Hongmei and Zhao Cui'e agreed to take some money as a token of their appreciation.

As for the amount of money, they did not discuss it immediately. Dr. Chang only said that it would be sent directly to Xu Yu and Jiang Yi, and they would give it to the Xu family.

Zhang Hongmei and the others agreed.

Dr. Chang stayed here for another two days and then left with Uncle Jiang San and Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun's family definitely didn't have that much money, but Xu Yu gave them a chance and gave Jiang Shilan an advance of one year's salary, and also signed an agreement with them.

This way, Jiang Jun can go to the provincial military hospital to see his leg.

At that time, Huanhuan burst into tears as she watched Dr. Chang leave. Xu Jianhua simply carried her on his back and took her out to play.

Huanhuan liked this place in the first place. Besides, she knew everyone here and liked them all. So after those few days when she missed her mother especially, the smile on Huanhuan's face returned.

After Dr. Chang left, nothing changed except that there was a little tail following Xu Jianhua.

Xu Jianhua still goes to Xu Yu's house every day. Before, he went with Dr. Chang and others, but now he only brings Huanhuan with him.

When Huanhuan couldn't walk anymore, he carried her on his back.

Even when his friends in the village asked him to go out and play, he would bring Huanhuan with him.

It worked and Zhang Hongmei and the others didn't have to worry about anything.

Half of the twelfth lunar month passed quickly.

Everyone stared at Xu Yu even more closely.

Even Xiao Tang would call her every once in a while to check on her.

On the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, Dr. Hu came with two female obstetricians.

He laughed and said, "I will spend the New Year at your house again this year."

After saying that, he went to their kitchen, inspected the bacon, sausages, and cured meats hanging in the kitchen, and nodded with satisfaction: "You made a lot of cured meats this year. It seems that we don't have to worry about not having enough to eat."

Yang Wenhui had been anxious and worried about this and that for a while. When Dr. Hu and the two obstetricians arrived, she felt reassured and immediately said with a smile, "Eat whatever you want."

In addition to Dr. Hu and his team, Dr. Huang has been living here since the beginning of the month.

There are many places to live now, and he basically lives with Jiang Yi's comrades in a yard not far away.

Dr. Huang also moved in after he arrived.

The two obstetricians stayed directly in the guest room of Xu Yu's house.

After the Little New Year, the Kitchen God is welcomed, and the following days seem to pass even faster.

This year, both Shangping Village and Hongxing Village sold pigs, and each family received a share of the proceeds.

Especially on the 25th day, several villages organized a market.

After everyone exchanged the extra things in their homes for the items they liked, the smiles on most people's faces became brighter.

On the 26th, it snowed heavily again.

Xu Yu sat on a recliner by the stove, watching Yang Wenhui weave firecrackers. He asked Jiang Yi, who was pushing rice paste for making glutinous rice balls under the eaves, "Brother Yi, when are we going to write couplets? When the time comes, write more and put them up in not only our house but also in all the rooms in the neighboring yards."

Jiang Yi hummed and said, "There's a lot of red paper. I'll take it out this afternoon and open it. I'll write tomorrow."

"Cut some more window paper-cuts then."

"it is good."

Yang Wenhui talked about the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"You can't go back to your parents' home this year, so we'll invite them all over to have New Year's Eve dinner together." He glanced at her belly and said with a smile, "It's best if the two grandchildren don't come out until the fifth day of the New Year, so that you can have a good New Year too."

Xu Yu smiled and touched her belly, saying, "The due date is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. If they don't rush out, we can still have a good New Year."
