Chapter 20 This is the betrothal gift
Early the next morning.
After Lin Xia woke up, she kept thinking about last night's dream. She dreamed that she was on the way to get married with Lu Yuxiu, but she fell into the water. She didn't have time to hold his hand, and the more she struggled, the faster she sank.
It was not until she woke up that she found the quilt was tangled around her body. It turned out that this was the culprit for her nightmare.
Lin Xia punched the quilt angrily. It was supposed to be a sweet dream, but she didn't expect it to be ruined by the quilt.
Lin Xia got up helplessly and looked at the clothes in the closet. At that time, people were poor and had few supplies, so the original owner only had a few sets of clothes.
She had to go to the Lu family today, so after thinking about it, Lin Xia decided to just wear a dress. These were the only two pieces she had, as she had worn one of them on her last blind date.
Lin Xia looked at her big pigtails and thought, now that she had that man, there was no need for her to have these two big pigtails anymore.
Lin Xia did what she said. She took off her solid pigtails and neatly braided two more fishbone braids that looked loose but were actually tight, freeing her scalp from being pulled.
She couldn't think of any other hairstyle. The original owner's hair was too long, and it wasn't suitable to let it down when meeting her parents.
A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, and the delicate and lazy fishbone braids made Lin Xia look particularly attractive. In the mirror, the girl had red lips and white teeth, and her smile diluted the charm of her peach blossom eyes.
If there were tools for makeup, Lin Xia would like to modify the original owner's charming peach blossom eyes. This kind of appearance can easily attract trouble if she goes out.
Lin Xia tidied herself up, opened the door and went out.
Outside the door, Wang Yanmei immediately saw the girl in the skirt. Then she looked at her pretty face again and it looked as if she had put on rouge. She cried out in her heart.
If my sister-in-law shows her face to others, she will probably charm a lot of people, Wang Yanmei sighed in her heart.
When Lin's mother saw her daughter's look, she was also surprised, but she was also proud.
Everyone in the Lin family looked at Lin Xia with surprise and boastfulness. Knowing that Lin Xia was going to the Lu family, they couldn't help but reveal some teasing in their eyes.
Even the youngest boy, Hu Zi, roughly understood that his aunt was going out to meet his uncle.
......
Everyone in the Lin family was sitting at the table eating breakfast and talking about Lin Xia's visit.
After finishing his meal, Little Hu was playing with a spinning top in the yard when he heard a knock on the door.
She ran to open the door with her short legs and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The door opened, and a pair of long legs were seen standing outside the door. Hu Zi tilted his head with great effort to look up.
Lu Yuxiu saw the door open, but heard voices but didn't see anyone. He looked down and saw a child almost falling over.
He stretched out his long arms and picked up the child. When he saw the child, he asked in a daze, "Uncle-in-law?"
When Lu Yuxiu heard this name, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his already happy mood became even better.
The big hand gently touched Hu Zi's head, which was cute, and asked softly, "Where is your aunt?"
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Hu Zi turned around and called out in a baby voice, "Auntie~"
"Aunt~Uncle is here~"
Lu Yuxiu carried Hu Zi in his arms and walked towards the Lin family's living room.
Lin Xia was about to go out when she heard Hu Zi's call, but then he called her "uncle-in-law". When she looked again, the man was about to come in.
Lu Yuxiu, who was about to enter the room, was stunned when he saw Lin Xia standing in the door.
The sun behind the door was shining in from behind, and his tall shadow just covered her entire body.
Lu Yuxiu inexplicably felt a little hot on his back, his eyes flickered slightly, and he restrained his emotions.
Lin Xia was burned by the man's gaze and couldn't help blushing.
When Lin's father and mother saw Lu Yuxiu coming to pick someone up, they smiled and urged Lin Xia not to keep people waiting anxiously.
Lin Xia followed Lu Yuxiu out and walked in the small alley.
The man was walking in front. He was not wearing a formal suit today, but a white shirt. His broad back pressed tightly against the shirt fabric, showing off his strong physique. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong and powerful forearms.
Lin Xia was admiring the man's handsomeness, but he suddenly stopped. Lin Xia almost bumped into him.
Watch the man turn around.
Lin Xia looked up, confused, and found that the man was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. He said in a magnetic and gentle voice, "You are looking at me."
Lin Xia didn't expect to be caught while peeking at a man, and her face suddenly turned red.
"You look beautiful today." The man's magnetic voice was serious.
Lin Xia had just been caught and was feeling embarrassed and at a loss as to what to do. Then she heard the compliment and her heart started beating wildly.
This man could easily stir her heartbeat, and Lin Xia felt like she was in his hands.
Obviously, she wasn't so shy in her previous life.
But why was I so easily controlled by this man in this life?
Lin Xia couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart. Could it be that after traveling through time and space into the original owner's body, she was also infected by this era?
Lu Yuxiu saw Lin Xia's face turn red from her ears to her neck. Her throat tightened unconsciously and her eyes became deeper.
Lu Yuxiu stepped forward, took the little girl's hand, no longer making her shy, and led her out.
Lin Xia was held by a rough but warm big hand. She looked at the man walking beside her and told herself that this man was her boyfriend who had met his parents. It was legitimate and she shouldn't be shy.
Lin Xia hypnotized herself in her heart like chanting a sutra, and the blush on her face slowly faded away.
The man let go of her hand only after they exited the alley and entered the street.
She could understand it. After all, in this era, even if you are married, it is not appropriate to walk together holding hands. You might be considered a hooligan.
Lin Xia thought that Lu Yuxiu would take her directly back to the Lu family, but she didn't expect the man to take her to the department store.
This three-story department store has a clear bottom with red letters on it, with a few eye-catching words hanging on it: Serving the People.
Although it was not as tall as the skyscrapers of later generations, it was the most fashionable at that time. There were many foreign brands in it. The richness was not as great as that of later generations, but it was as big as later generations.
When we arrived at the watch counter, we saw a variety of watches on display.
But Lu Yuxiu looked around and was not very satisfied. He said, "Do you have any other watches besides these? I want ladies'."
When I first arrived at the counter, the salesperson didn't even raise his head and ignored me. Until I looked up and saw Lu Yuxiu's face, I put on a smile, but then I heard someone asking for a ladies' watch. Then I saw Lin Xia standing next to me, and I immediately frowned and went to get the watch reluctantly.
Lin Xia didn't quite understand, but after hearing this, she didn't care about the difference between men and women and grabbed Lu Yuxiu's arm, saying anxiously, "It's so expensive, I don't want it!"
Lu Yuxiu remained unmoved. He watched the salesperson bring the watch and then took it for Lin Xia to try on.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Lin Xia didn't dare to stop it. If she was reported for hooliganism, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lin Xia couldn't help but put it on her wrist. The metal dial and leather strap made it obvious that it was not a cheap product. To buy a watch in this era, one needed not only money but also industrial tickets.
After Lin Xia put it on, she liked it at first sight. The thing she was most uncomfortable with after traveling through time was not having a mobile phone. She didn't feel it at ordinary times, but without a watch and a mobile phone, her concept of time became blurred every day.
In later generations, not many people use watches to tell time. Watches exist more as accessories. A watch can determine a person's temperament.
Lin Xia couldn't let it go, but she felt really bad. The feeling of a man spending money on her was too strange.
In her previous life, there were not many times when a man would spend money on her so lavishly. The money she earned was enough to satisfy her own consumption desires, and she did not have to rely on men.
But she didn't expect that after coming here, many things happened that were beyond her control.
Lin Xia had an unspeakable feeling in her heart.
Lu Yuxiu was confused when he saw her suddenly become depressed, but his intuition told him that he should tell her the reason.
"This is a betrothal gift." The man explained in a low voice in her ear.
