Although he knew that Lin Xiaoxiao had a fairly good impression of him, he still deliberately asked, "So what do you think of me? Can I meet your expectations?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said proudly, "It's alright, barely passable."
But I was secretly overjoyed.
With her outstanding figure, appearance, and career, who could possibly find fault with her?
She's superficial; these things have taken root in her heart.
Why refuse? Just hurry back to your own nest.
"Then let's get married." Qin Yushen didn't call out her stubbornness and agreed directly.
Neither of them were like Mo Ji; they wouldn't easily go back on their decisions.
"Great job." Lin Xiaoxiao gave him a thumbs up.
The two hit it off immediately, the initial awkwardness dissipated, and they chatted and laughed throughout the rest of the journey.
No one would have guessed that the two of them had only met twice.
Upon arriving in the city, we first went to a state-run restaurant for lunch.
Jiangcheng cuisine tends to be heavy on flavors. In this era of scarcity, it's impossible to make dishes with lots of oil, but it's still possible to make them very spicy.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who has been a northerner for two lifetimes, is trying to have her tongue dance in her mouth for the first time.
This feeling is even more intense and exhilarating than the emotional turmoil between male and female protagonists in later novels.
"My God, is it this spicy? I want some water!"
Qin Yushen had a premonition that she would fall for it, so he handed her the tea that had been cooled down beforehand.
Look at Lin Xiaoxiao's face, it's all red from the spiciness. Her skin tone was already dark, and now it looks like a spilled palette of colors.
He couldn't help but laugh, but Lin Xiaoxiao stared at him intently.
He clenched his fist to cover his mouth, trying to hide his embarrassment, and coughed, "That's how the food is here, you'll get used to it."
Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her face and snorted irritably, "I know you're laughing at my dark skin. Laugh all you want, I don't care at all. Humph, men are all superficial."
Qin Yushen looked somewhat embarrassed. "No."
I really didn't mean to criticize her for being dark-skinned.
"Do you think I'm pretty?" Lin Xiaoxiao teased him.
People in this era are generally more reserved; very few are as direct and straightforward as she is.
Qin Yu thought she was anxious about her appearance, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "You'll look better if you gain some weight."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao has dark skin, it can't hide her good looks. At first glance, she looks like a dark-skinned girl, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that her features are delicate and petite.
If she were a little chubby, with more fat on her face, she would definitely be a little beauty.
He genuinely felt that Lin Xiaoxiao should eat more and gain weight, because he could easily break her thin arms with a little force.
But it was just a fantasy; he had experienced firsthand how much power this small body could unleash.
Don't let his thin arms and legs fool you; one punch from him could send you crashing into a wall.
Qin Yu glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's hands, thinking that he would like to spar with her again if he had the chance. He was very curious about the upper limit of her strength.
"Then I need to eat more and get my body in better shape." Lin Xiaoxiao knew she was too thin, so she buried her head in her food.
She doesn't care much about appearance.
So what if I'm not good-looking? I can still knock ten strong men away with one punch.
Nothing is more important than strength.
As they left the state-run restaurant, Qin Yushen suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "I need to go to the post office to make a phone call and mail a letter. Want to come along?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the department store across the street and shook her head. "You go by yourself. I'm going to the department store to buy something."
Qin Yu nodded deeply, watched her enter the department store, and then drove off in another direction.
Thinking of the watch voucher that the Tongcheng Public Security Bureau had awarded her, Lin Xiaoxiao, who didn't own a watch and found it inconvenient to check the time, decided to buy one.
The watch counter was deserted; most passersby glanced at the watches and walked away, with few actually making a purchase.
With the average monthly wage around 20 yuan, even the cheapest watch costs over 100 yuan, and you need a ration coupon to buy one. If you have connections and can get a coupon, you still have to pay for it.
Overall, it would cost at least two hundred yuan to get it.
This is still relatively inexpensive; imported watches would cost two to three times more.
Lin Xiaoxiao had over two thousand yuan in cash and a jar of gold bars that she had swindled from the Lin family. In Tongcheng, she also obtained several large boxes of valuable items from a notorious bandit's den. She was definitely a rich woman.
Buying a watch is no problem.
"Serving the people. Comrade, what watch do you need?" The saleswoman, who was knitting a sweater behind the counter, stood up with a smile.
"Concerned about people's lives. Any recommendations?" The counter displayed a wide variety of watches, from various brands to different models, leaving Lin Xiaoxiao overwhelmed.
The salesperson took out three different ones and placed them on the counter so that Lin Xiaoxiao could see them clearly.
"These two are our own national brands, Shanghai and Seagull. They are the latest in terms of design and style. Shanghai is priced at 120 yuan and Seagull at 130 yuan."
"This is a Plum Blossom brand watch imported from abroad. It costs 200 yuan. This is the last one. Once it's sold out, it's gone."
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the Plum Blossom brand watch; it looked nice and was very practical.
As far as I can remember, last year Lin Wanwan pestered Xu Fen to buy her one, and she wore it on her wrist, showing off quite a bit in the steel factory's residential compound.
Which family buys such expensive things for a girl? If they could afford it, they'd buy it for a boy.
Because of that watch, the Lin family became known for doting on their daughter, and that's when Lin Heping found his well-off boyfriend.
What the woman values most is that the Lin family doesn't discriminate against women over men.
It's hilarious! The Lin family has two daughters, one is treated like a treasure, and the other like trash. Everyone praises the treasure and ignores the trash.
After the Lin family got lucky and became related to the Qin family through marriage, the steel mill workers and their families began to talk about Lin Xiaoxiao, the abused weed.
