Jia Chunhua nodded without paying attention, and took out two large cans and pushed them over. "Here, this is the watermelon sauce I made recently. I learned it from the military wife from Luocheng in the compound. You can take it to Xiaoqu's family to try. In the summer, people have a poor appetite, so this goes really well with rice."
Lin Qin agreed with a smile.
When he returned to the dormitory at night, he put the two cans in the cabinet and stared at them for a long time. It was not until his comrades called him that he came to his senses and closed the cabinet door.
After washing up, Lin Qin lay down with his arms as a pillow, feeling a little confused.
Should watermelon jam be given as a gift?
Although he was conflicted, the moment hesitant thoughts came into his mind, he realized that he shouldn't have given it.
Because he gradually discovered that his partner didn't seem to be very interested in his family, or to be more precise, looked down on him.
The first time he noticed something was when they were dating some time ago. He asked her how the bag of food he sent to her house tasted. If she wants to eat, you can give her some more.
At that time she said the taste was okay, but she just couldn't get used to it. But the next day he saw an actress from the art troupe throwing away a cloth bag. The pattern and style of the bag were exactly the same as the one he used to carry things. It was sewn by her mother, so he recognized it.
He subconsciously went over and asked, and then he found out that Qu Anxin had given the thing away.
All the things that happened later—she invited me to her house for dinner, but she refused to come to her house, and when I chatted with his parents, the words and thoughts they inadvertently revealed...
All the details told him that Qu Anxin and her parents did not want to have any contact with his family.
The two can get married, but the two families do not have any contact with each other. They also hope to focus on their small family in the future and not bear too much of the family burden just because they are the eldest son or grandson. That is feudal and does not encourage.
Lin Qin sighed. Although he liked Qu Anxin very much, he felt that their relationship was over.
Their concepts are fundamentally different. Although his family had no burden and could easily meet their requirements, he could not accept the Qu family's defensiveness and contempt.
When they were introducing their family situation, the two were dating in a park outside. Because the nature of his uncle's work was highly confidential, he did not mention his uncle's work. He only talked about his parents coming over to help with the construction and the whole family coming together.
I had intended to tell her when I invited her to dinner, but I never had the chance. It's impossible for him to specifically mention that his uncle was a major and the person in charge of submarine research and development.
Now it seems that it was precisely because it was not mentioned that those implicit reminders occurred.
It also gave him a chance to reconsider this man.
I closed my eyes, listened to the wind from the ceiling fan blowing in gusts, and my heart slowly calmed down.
Lin Qin thought, let's wait until after the Army Day to not let the breakup affect Comrade Qu's performance.
At the same time, at the Qu family, Qu Anxin went back home because she had a day off the next day.
The weather was hot and we couldn't sleep, so the three of us chatted and happened to talk about Lin Qin.
"An Xin, are you sure it's Lin Qin?" Qu's mother asked tentatively, shaking her fan.
Qu Anxin nodded, looking as if she understood.
"Mom, I know you think Lin Qin's family conditions are average and he comes from a small place, but he is really good to me, he is handsome, and he has a good future. As long as he promises to have less contact with his family in the future, I will marry him."
Qu's mother was somewhat dissatisfied. She knew that her daughter valued appearance the most, so she advised: "My daughter, good looks cannot be used to make a living. He is the eldest in the family. Although his parents are both working, he has grandparents, two younger brothers, and his aunt's family. The burden is too heavy. He is excellent, but it is precisely because of his excellence that his family clings to him and asks him to take care of the family. This poor relative is the most bloodsucking."
"That's enough, women are just worrying about nothing." Qu's father interrupted, disagreeing, "Let me tell you, as long as they get married and have children, are you still worried that your daughter can't control him? With our family conditions and our daughter's conditions, it would be hard for Lin Qin, a kid without a background, to find a husband. Remember, our daughter is marrying down, and he is marrying up. Not letting him become a live-in son-in-law is already giving him face. He's not stupid and knows what to do for himself."
Qu Anxin nodded in agreement, "Dad is right." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
