Xia Xiaoli happened to see it when Li Qingming took it out, and she became even more shy.
As luck would have it, their eyes met, and Xia Xiaoli, realizing her embarrassment, turned and walked away.
Li Qingming thought Xia Xiaoli was angry, but he was too embarrassed to put it back.
Following them out, Li Qingming jogged up and explained to Xia Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, I won't force you if you don't want to. I'm just taking it as a backup."
Xia Xiaoli kept her head down and remained silent.
She didn't know what to say.
Saying these things in public is enough to make her lose all face.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoli was silent, Li Qingming assumed she was angry, knowing that it would take some time for the two of them to truly understand each other.
"Xiaoli, let's go buy wedding candy. We'll take you to buy some 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a type of cigarette, a toy, and a toy). They sell them at that department store up ahead. We'll buy them and they can be delivered to our house this afternoon. Mom has already prepared our new house. You can move in tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoli frowned slightly. Was she in such a hurry?
"Don't worry, I can sleep on the floor. My room is quite big," Li Qingming quickly explained.
"When I get home tonight, I'll discuss our wedding banquet with my brother and sister-in-law."
Xia Xiaoli stopped in her tracks.
Looking at her like this, Li Qingming was terrified that she would say no.
"I don't want to have a wedding?" Xia Xiaoli asked, staring at Li Qingming.
Why?
Li Qingming didn't understand. "Marriage is a major life event, a once-in-a-lifetime event?" For a girl, it's a major life event; she wants to tell everyone that she's getting married.
Xia Xiaoli didn't want to have a wedding because she thought it was too much trouble.
"Am I... really that bad?" Li Qingming knew that Xia Xiaoli had a high school diploma, while he only finished elementary school and joined the army when he was very young. He had only studied in the army and had never formally attended school, so he did not have a diploma higher than junior high school.
“No!” Xia Xiaoli tried to explain, but Li Qingming said, “I also learned to read in the army. I trained during the day and learned to read at night. I can do some simple math calculations and understand ancient poems. I know you city people are hygienic, and I promise I will shower every day and be very hygienic.”
Li Qingming spoke very sincerely.
Xia Xiaoli looked up and stared into his eyes, which were darting around.
She never said she disliked Li Qingming, so why would he have such thoughts?
Suddenly I couldn't help but laugh!
Realizing she had lost her composure, Xia Xiaoli quickly covered her mouth.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoli was still laughing at him, Li Qingming scratched his head and asked, "Is it that funny?"
Xia Xiaoli shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't look down on you for being uneducated, I just don't want to have a wedding."
“We’re married now, so we’ll definitely be living together,” Li Qingming said anxiously. “If we don’t have a wedding, are you not planning to move in?”
"I didn't say I wouldn't go, I just don't want to have a wedding right now." Xia Xiaoli was thinking that if her application was approved, she would go there. After having a wedding, there would be a lot of things to do, and she was too tired. Right now, she just wanted to prepare for going there and have more things to do to study.
When Li Qingming heard Xia Xiaoli say this, he asked, "Then where will you stay tonight?"
Xia Xiaoli glanced at Li Qingming and asked, "So, where do you want me to stay?"
“You’re my wife now, so you’ll definitely be living at my house,” Li Qingming said cautiously.
"Oh!" Xia Xiaoli didn't say anything, just gave a simple reply, and walked towards the shopping mall in front.
Li Qingming was secretly delighted that Xia Xiaoli had agreed to stay at their house.
After buying wedding candy and cookies at the department store, Li Qingming saw bicycles, radios, and sewing machines, and without hesitation, he paid for them and asked the driver to arrange for a car to deliver them to him later.
I went up to the third floor to buy clothes and fabrics.
"Let's buy some nice clothes. Don't you like wearing skirts? Let's buy a couple," Li Qingming said to Xia Xiaoli, carrying several bags of things.
Looking at the floral dresses, Xia Xiaoli thought about how she had succeeded in getting what she wanted that night because she was wearing one, and now she felt a bit repulsed by the sight of dresses.
"Let's buy fabric instead." Xia Xiaoli decided to make her own clothes, as she was about to go to the front lines and pants were essential.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoli didn't want it, Li Qingming didn't say anything.
Seeing the shoes, Li Qingming said, "Let's buy two pairs of shoes. We should also bring some changes of clothes with us when we go there."
Xia Xiaoli nodded, picked up the shoes to take a look, and found them very comfortable to wear.
When he took out his money to pay, Li Qingming offered to pay for him.
"We just got our marriage certificate today." Xia Xiaoli stopped Li Qingming, who was paying the bill.
"Is there a problem?" Li Qingming asked Xia Xiaoli with a puzzled look.
"Comrade, on such a joyous occasion, how could you buy shoes for your wife? She should pay for them herself," the sales clerk couldn't help but step in to explain on Xia Xiaoli's behalf.
Xia Xiaoli had no intention of running away.
It's said that men shouldn't buy shoes for their wives, and that's just a baseless implication. But today is our wedding day, so it's inappropriate.
"It's nothing, what can a shoe prove?" Li Qingming didn't take it seriously.
Xia Xiaoli took the money back from his hand, put it back in Li Qingming's pocket, and then paid for the shoes herself.
I bought a large red basin with the character "囍" (double happiness) on it, a kettle for hot water, and two bolts of fabric.
Li Qingming bought a pair of watches, which Xia Xiaoli immediately put on them.
Xia Xiaoli went from being unhappy at the beginning to gradually accepting it now.
