"Ah."

Qin Qiao whispered.

"Did you have meal?"

Li Xiangyang asked dryly.

He has only had one failed marriage, which was achieved through a blind date, and has no romantic experience at all.

Being alone in a room with the young girl, Li Xiangyang felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

"I had breakfast at home."

Qin Qiaoer replied obediently.

"You've been sitting in the car for the whole morning, you must be hungry!"

Li Xiangyang scratched his head and said, "Let me treat you to a meal!"

"No, no, no."

Qin Qiaoer shook her head like a rattle and said quickly: "My father said, he said..."

As she spoke, Qin Qiaoer's voice suddenly became softer.

"What else did your father say?"

Li Xiangyang wondered.

"No, it's nothing."

Qin Qiaoer's face turned red and she was speechless.

"Ugh......"

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh.

What a nice girl!

He blushes after just a few words. Isn't this forcing him to commit a crime?

"My mom and my second aunt haven't seen each other for a long time. Once they start talking, they can't stop. I can't count on you for lunch. I'd better take you out to eat!"

Li Xiangyang made up his mind to compensate Qin Qiaoer.

He took two steps outside and found that Qin Qiaoer didn't move, as if she was looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Qin Qiao turned around and stuffed something into his pocket.

"Then let's go!"

Li Xiangyang didn't think much about it.

"Brother Yang!"

As soon as he went out, Xu Damao came running over.

When he noticed Qin Qiaoer, his eyes widened.

"What are you looking at!"

Li Xiangyang glared at him. This kid had a lot of criminal record.

“Is this my sister-in-law?”

Although Xu Damao was still young, he already knew a lot about matters between men and women, and asked with a smile.

"Go away, stop yelling!"

Li Xiangyang raised his leg and pretended to kick, and Xu Damao ran away in fear.

"Well, this is my younger brother. He's not very sure about his words. Don't take it to heart!"

Li Xiangyang and Qin Qiaoer explained.

"Ah."

Qin Qiao nodded, her ears slightly red.

"Gudu"

Li Xiangyang swallowed his saliva and his throat felt a little dry.

"Let's go, let's go."

Along the way, Qin Qiaoer was always half a step behind Li Xiangyang, with her chest hunched and her head lowered, not daring to look around.

She looks so well-behaved, just like a young wife in feudal society.

"Don't be nervous!"

Li Xiangyang consoled him, "Just have a quick meal, and then I'll take you to the park for a walk to help you digest the food."

"Ah."

Qin Qiaoer nodded, and her tense back relaxed a lot.

"Eat some candied haws first!"

Seeing a cart selling candied haws on the roadside, Li Xiangyang bought a string and handed it to Qin Qiaoer.

"Hey!"

Qin Qiaoer seemed to want to say something, but when she saw that Li Xiangyang had already paid, she closed her mouth again.

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiangyang raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's okay."

Qin Qiao took a deep breath, clenched the corner of her clothes with her little hands, and made a secret decision: she must pay next time!

"Try it!"

Qin Qiaoer first thanked him, then timidly took the candied haws and took a careful bite.

"Click"

A piece of the icing broke off and fell to the ground.

"Oh!"

Qin Qiaoer threw the icing into pieces in annoyance.

"It's okay, it just fell off."

Li Xiangyang waved his hand, "If you stutter louder, it won't fall off."

Qin Qiaoer ate very politely but not slowly and finished a whole candied haws in no time.

She licked her lips, feeling sweet.

My family's conditions are not good, and are lower-middle class in Qinjia Village. I have an older brother and two younger brothers, plus my parents, so there are six mouths to feed. We can only eat by working hard, and we can't afford this kind of food at other times.

Thinking of this, Qin Qiao secretly glanced at Li Xiangyang.

Li Xiangyang inherited Li Changyi's genes. He has a very handsome appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is very sunny.

At this moment, he was struggling with what to take Qin Qiaoer to eat, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

Qin Qiaoer's face felt a little hot and she quickly lowered her head.

She is seventeen years old and often fantasizes about what kind of person her husband is.

However, Qin Qiaoer did not dare to hope for too much.

After all, my family's conditions are too difficult. If I get married, who will take care of my younger brother?

The reason for coming to Sijiu City this time was because Cui Xiufen told her parents that her nephew's family was very well-off and Qin Qiaoer would be able to enjoy a peaceful life if she married into his family.

Which parent doesn't want their child to live a good life? So he agreed.

Along the way, Qin Qiaoer was very nervous. She was afraid that Li Xiangyang would be difficult to get along with and she couldn't speak. What if she made him angry?

Fortunately, Li Xiangyang was very kind and polite to her.

As expected of a city dweller, Qin Qiaoer thought secretly.

"correct!"

Li Xiangyang turned around and smiled at her, "I'll take you to Quanjude to eat roast duck!"

"How much is it?"

Qin Qiaoer asked quickly.

“Not much money!”

Li Xiangyang thought she was afraid that he would spend too much money, so he said it casually.

Qin Qiaoer nodded, thinking that the money she brought should be enough to pay the bill.

Soon, the two arrived at Quanjude.

"It's better to go now, no need to make an appointment!"

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, the roast duck was served, and Li Xiangyang kindly showed Qin Qiaoer how to eat it. Qin Qiaoer learned quickly and started to eat it in a very professional manner.

After eating, Li Xiangyang prepared to pay the bill.

Cui Xiulan gave him a lot of money last night, specifically for entertaining Qin Qiaoer.

"I come!"

Qin Qiaoer quickly took out an embroidered purse and asked, "How much?"

"Six dollars and three cents!"

Qin Qiaoer's face turned pale.

A roast duck is so expensive, it’s more than her family’s monthly expenses!

"I......"

She was so nervous that she was about to cry, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Li Xiangyang quickly gave the money to the man and took her arm, "Let's go!"

The moment of contact, Qin Qiaoer immediately came to her senses and quickly took a step back.

Li Xiangyang touched his nose awkwardly; he had forgotten that it was the 1950s.

......

Beihai Park.

The two found a seat and sat down.

"Here, this is today's meal money."

Qin Qiaoer handed a pile of neatly arranged change to Li Xiangyang, and mustered up the courage to say, "I only have three..."

"What is this for?"

How could Li Xiangyang accept this money? He waved his hand and said, "You are a girl. How can you let a girl pay?"

"But my father said that I can't spend your money, otherwise in the future..."

Qin Qiaoer's voice suddenly lowered halfway through her speech.

"What else did your father say?"

Li Xiangyang asked.

"He said that there is a huge gap between our two families. If I accept your money, your family will look down on me."

Qin Qiaoer whispered.

"Ugh!"

Li Xiangyang sighed, feeling somewhat bitter.

If he had met such a good girl in his previous life, he would definitely treat her well with all his heart.

"Qin Qiaoer, I have something to tell you."

Looking at Qin Qiaoer's clear eyes, Li Xiangyang felt full of pity.

But thinking that he was about to join the army, he hardened his heart and said through gritted teeth: "Our relationship will not work out."
