A train came to a stop at the platform, and a crowd of people poured out of the train and rushed towards the entrance.

Jiang Hongmei stood on tiptoe and looked around. Finally, she saw a familiar green color in the crowd and couldn't help but greeted, "Qi Shaoqiang!"

The person who looked up was a tall and strong man. He was carrying a backpack on his back, with his sleeves rolled up to reveal his wheat-colored skin, and he was holding two large packages in his hands.

Because of the use of massage, the veins on the sturdy arms are faintly visible.

He handed the package in his hand to a middle-aged man carrying a shoulder pole. An old lady with bound feet followed behind him and kept thanking him.

"Thank you, young comrade. You have been so kind to take care of me and carry things for me."

"You're welcome, 꿂頭毒, you should go home early."

Seeing the old lady and the middle-aged people leaving, Qi Shaoqiang stretched out his long legs and arrived in front of Jiang Li in a few steps.

He was tall, estimated to be over 1.85 meters tall, and had an oppressive feel, casting a shadow in front of Jiang Li.

"Comrade, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything. Jiang Hongmei on the side was a little unhappy. As long as she and Jiang Li stood together, no one would notice her.

So he interrupted and said, "The one who called you is 놖. 놖 is Jiang Hongmei, and this is 놖's sister Jiang Li.

Your mother should have written to you about this matter. "

Catching the word Jiang family, Qi Shaoqiang frowned.

Before he was discharged from the army, his mother wrote to tell him that she had arranged a marriage for him in her hometown. The family was a Jiang family in the Dashuping Production Brigade next door, and the girl's name was Jiang Hongmei.

How can a man and a woman get married without ever meeting each other? Isn't that nonsense?

Qi Shaoqiang wanted to write a letter to refuse, but he had to go home in two days, so he decided to go home and go to Jiang's house in person to explain everything.

"I have something to tell you. There are too many people here. Let's find a quiet place to sit down and talk," Jiang Hongmei pulled people into the state-owned hotel.

It was dinner time, and the state-owned hotel was filled with aromas, bowls of braised pork and big pork elbows filling the air with fragrance.

Jiang Hongmei walked to the ordering window familiarly, "One stewed pork elbow, one Yellow River carp, and another portion of braised pork.

By the way, today is Tuesday, the roasted pigeon is still available, please give me one."

The waiter who was taking orders looked at Jiang Hongmei with curiosity. This girl was dressed in a rustic way, but the way she ordered the dishes seemed like she was a frequent diners.

I also know that they have roasted pigeon on Tuesdays.

"How much rice do you want?"

"Give me six ounces of rice, and two plates of pork and scallion dumplings."

"Okay, pay first. A total of 9.62 yuan, one pound of grain coupons."

Jiang Hongmei felt at ease and took a step back, looking at Qi Shaoqiang and motioning him to settle the bill.

"You order the food, you pay for it," Qi Shaoqiang said coldly without blushing.

He is rich, so it's fine for him to treat his blind date to a meal, but by eating him like a fat sheep like Jiang Hongmei, is she taking him for a fool?

"Give me a bowl of Yangchun noodles," Qi Shaoqiang looked at Jiang Li's dry and yellow hair, "and five meat buns."

Jiang Hongmei's nose was crooked with anger. "What's wrong with you? You can't even afford to treat me to a meal."

Qi Shaoqiang ignored her, picked a seat and sat down with a big meat bun fresh from the oven, "If you have nothing to say, I'll go home."

Jiang Hongmei twisted her body and sat down opposite him, staring at him with hatred in her eyes.

She had forgotten that Qi Shaoqiang was a cruel man. When they were married in their previous life, he had never been gentle or considerate to her and often embarrassed her in front of outsiders, just like today.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hongmei no longer had any regrets. "I came here today to tell you clearly that I have no feelings for you and will not marry you. We have countless engagements."

"When you get home, explain everything to your mother immediately and we will call off the engagement."

Qi Shaoqiang stopped eating noodles with his chopsticks and looked at her in surprise. He had planned this, but he didn't expect Jiang Hongmei to take the initiative to bring it up.

"Yes. Blind marriage is not in line with national policy. I agree."

Jiang Hongmei didn't expect Qi Shaoqiang to agree so readily. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a bit humiliated and unwilling.

"But your family doesn't agree to cancel the engagement, so you have to tell others that you regretted it and don't want to get married."

Qi Shaoqiang thought about it and agreed.

In the village, breaking off an engagement is a big deal, and whichever party breaks the engagement will be blamed.

He is the man, so he should take more responsibility, not to mention that he had no intention of marrying Jiang Hongmei.

Jiang Lixiao was shocked. Jiang Hongmei was really reborn.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded outside the state-owned hotel. A car stopped at the door. A square-faced young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes jumped out of the driver's seat. He walked quickly to Qi Shaoqiang and saluted.

"Hello, Captain Qi. This is Tang Huaimin. You can just call me Xiao Tang. The county chief has asked me to take you home. Have you finished your meal?"

Qi Shaoqiang returned the salute and said, "I have already retired from the army, please take a seat, I have something else to finish right away."

He ate up the remaining noodles in big gulps, asked the waiter for a newspaper to put in his buns, and left the state-owned hotel.

Although Jiang Hongmei achieved the purpose of this trip, she was very angry. She walked to the door angrily, but her attention was attracted by the car.

She touched the few dimes in her pocket and looked at Qi Shaoqiang expectantly.

The cab can seat three people. If he doesn't treat himself to a meal, at least he can give her a ride home.

To be honest, their current engagement has not been cancelled yet, and she is still his fiancée.

But Qi Shaoqiang acted as if he didn't see her and just passed by her and jumped into the car.

The car drove away quickly, leaving behind a trail of black smoke.

Jiang Hongmei was so furious. Qi Shaoqiang was so ungraceful that he could help an old stranger on the train but was unwilling to give her a ride.

Turning around and seeing Jiang Li's furious look, she stamped her feet in anger, "Aren't you usually good at talking and seducing men? Why are you acting like a lunatic again today?"

"Jiang Hongmei, you let 놖뀔 seduce you unmarried? Do you like wearing a green hat so much?"

Jiang Li's eyes were clear, and her words, spoken slowly, were enough to make people angry to death.

The waitress who was watching the excitement nearby chuckled. She had witnessed quite a bit of gossip today.

Jiang Hongmei was so angry that she couldn't breathe. She turned around and left, saying, "You can walk home by yourself."

Jiang Li was stunned. It took her nearly two hours to walk home, and the sun was so strong that she couldn't walk.

But there was no way she could move, and Jiang Hongmei soon disappeared.

Jiang Li felt her empty pockets. She had no money for a ride, so she could only walk home.

She had just had a serious illness and hadn't recovered yet. After walking for a while, she had to sit under the shade of a tree to catch her breath.

The two buns she had eaten at noon were digested very quickly, and she still had to pay attention to what was going on around her.

The roads are not peaceful nowadays. It would be terrible if you saw a vagrant or a gangster.

The sky gradually darkened and the sound of cars rumbling could be heard in the distance. Jiang Li was worried about being choked by the smoke and dust, so she subconsciously moved to the side of the road.
