The two young men quickly walked out of the room.

Inside the room, Su Xiaoxue's parents, Qin's mother, and Aunt Mei were sitting.

Mother Qin said quickly, "It's like this. My son Achi met Xiaoxue a few days ago and liked her very much. Today I wanted to come and ask you two for your opinions to see if my son Achi and Xiaoxue can become husband and wife, and we can also become in-laws."

When Su's parents heard this, the couple looked at each other.

My daughter had already said before that she chose Qin Chi.

Su's mother also told the truth, "Xiaoxue said that she is very satisfied with Achi, saying that he is young and now he is the deputy director of the factory. If this thing can be accomplished, it will be our Xiaoxue who is marrying up."

Mother Qin smiled and said, "What's so high about this? Although I've only just met Xiaoxue, I can tell that she's really good. I like her very much. If she could be my daughter-in-law, I would definitely be happy and would treat her well."

Qin's mother spoke politely and respectfully throughout the conversation, without any airs of a rich lady, which surprised Su Xiaoxue's parents.

They were all very nervous and reserved. After all, it was their first time meeting such a legendary figure.

Perhaps because Qin's mother was so gentle and polite, the couple was not as nervous as they were at the beginning.

Since the two young people are going to get married, they have to negotiate well with their daughter and not let her suffer any loss or feel that she is easy to be bullied.

During the whole conversation, Qin's mother was very respectful to the couple. She also talked a lot about the bride price and gift money, which left Su Xiaoxue's parents dumbfounded.

The Su family couple said that they didn't need so much. Su Jianguo said: "As long as the two children are well, it's fine. We don't need a lot. Just go through the normal process."

Mother Qin laughed, "This is the process we follow in our family. If you have no objection, this is how we will arrange it."

Naturally, they hope that their children will receive more betrothal gifts, so that they as parents can have face, and it can also prove that their children will marry into a wealthy family and live a good life.

-

Unlike at home, where the adults were frantically discussing matters such as the wedding gift, everything was very quiet after Su Xiaoxue led Qin Chi out of the door.

After all, she had only met Qin Chi twice, and this was the third time. They were still strangers, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, perhaps because Qin Chi is older and more knowledgeable, he can handle it calmly even if the atmosphere is awkward.

"This is a river in our village. We rely on it for food and drink." Su Xiaoxue introduced the river when they reached the river.

She then went to the side to introduce their family's fields, the current crops, and some rural knowledge she knew.

Qin Chi listened very carefully and said a few words from time to time.

Moreover, he was not perfunctory, but analyzed and expressed his own opinions very seriously.

Su Xiaoxue was a little surprised.

“Do you find this boring?” she asked.

"What?" Qin Chi was puzzled.

"That's right, what I said was very boring, just some country things, nothing else."

Qin Chi shook his head, "No, I think you are very knowledgeable and understand a lot."

He looked at the green cornfield and continued, "Besides, I was a soldier myself before, and I was also busy in the fields. What you said makes me feel very familiar."

Su Xiaoxue knew that Qin Chi was a soldier before.

She nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, Qin Chi was better than she thought.

They walked along the river again. Although they didn't talk much, they became more familiar with each other.

Finally, they came to the stream and found some small fish swimming in the water.

"There are fish!" Qin Chi said.

Perhaps because he hadn't seen fish in a stream for a long time, his voice sounded a little excited.

This was actually a very normal thing for Su Xiaoxue, but from Qin Chi's tone and eyes, she thought it was a very interesting thing.

She asked, "Do you want to catch it?"

Qin Chi looked at her and asked, "Is it okay?"

Su Xiaoxue found it a little funny and nodded, "Of course you can. The fish in this water are all wild fish. The ones you can catch are just too small."

"It's okay, just catch him and keep him!"

Qin Chi said as he moved closer to the water.

Su Xiaoxue asked him, "Do you want me to get a sieve to catch it? It might be hard to catch it with just your hands. The fish may look small, but it's actually very fierce."

Qin Chi thought that they had walked so far and it would be troublesome to go back, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'll grab it with my hands!"

Qin Chi said, then looked at Su Xiaoxue and asked, "You don't mind if I take off my shoes and go catch it, right?"

Su Xiaoxue was obviously stunned when she heard this, but she quickly smiled and said, "Go ahead and catch it. I don't mind."

"Ah."

Qin Chi said this and quickly took off his shoes and went into the water.

Then move slowly towards the fish hiding in the water plants, looking for an opportunity to catch the fish.

Seeing his childlike interest, Su Xiaoxue was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that Qin Chi was more down-to-earth than she had imagined. She thought that Qin Chi, who grew up in the city and is now the deputy director of a factory, would naturally not be like a country boy who goes fishing in the river and doesn't care about his appearance.

And it was because of Qin Chi's actions that Su Xiaoxue felt closer to him, and the gap between the two of them, urban and rural, was reduced.

"Eh……"

When Qin Chi found the right opportunity, he quickly clasped his hands together towards the water plants.

He raised his hand and looked at Su Xiaoxue.

Su Xiaoxue was also curious and asked, "Did you catch it? Did you catch it?"

Qin Chi did not open it immediately. The water slowly fell from his fingers. He replied, "No."

Su Xiaoxue felt a little regretful, but still smiled and comforted, "It's okay, try again."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Qin Chi opened his hands, revealing the fish wrapped in his palms.

"Wow..." Su Xiaoxue was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the fish, "I caught it!"

The girl looked at Qin Chi with admiration, which made Qin Chi feel happy and relaxed.

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, “Didn’t you just say no?”

Qin Chi smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked her, "Do you know what kind of fish this is?"

"know."

"What fish?"

"Pompom."

Qin Chi laughed.

Su Xiaoxue was puzzled by his smile, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

In their countryside, the red, green and blue fish in Qin Chi's hand is called Pompi Po. Many people will not eat this kind of fish after catching it, because the well-raised Pompi Po is very beautiful. The young men in the countryside like to fish, dig holes and raise fish, so if they get this kind of fish, they will raise it in water bottles, water basins, water tanks and the like.

Qin Chi shook his head and replied, "Yes, the local dialect is called Pompippo, but it also has a scientific name, Forktail Betta."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

"Ah."

Qin Chi finished speaking and raised his hand, "Here, give it to you!"

Su Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You don't want it?"

Qin Chi laughed, "You take it first."

"Oh."

Su Xiaoxue also laughed, and found it funny that she had just thought the wrong thing.

The girl smiled, revealing sweet dimples. The summer breeze blew the hair on her temples, making it stick to the tip of her nose, making her look a little cute.

Then, Su Xiaoxue quickly grabbed the fish from his palm.

The warm fingertips touched the slightly cool palm that was soaked in water. Su Xiaoxue's cheeks felt slightly hot, and then she held the fish in her palm.

"I'll catch two more!" Qin Chi said with a smile.

Su Xiaoxue nodded, and saw the man continue to walk towards the water plants.
