"I think we might not be suitable for each other. I am just an ordinary citizen, an ordinary woman who has just moved from the countryside to the city.
Do you understand what I mean? It's just that there's a gap in status between us. We might not be that suitable for each other," Song Jinxiu said.
Being a good match is not just talk. Two people have different growing environments and received different educations.
Everyone has very different views on things and ways of dealing with them.
It may be easy to deal with when you are in love, but once you are together, you will have to face the trivialities of life.
"Everyone is equal. There is no such thing as status or class now. We all exist to serve the people!" said Zhao Li.
"Then I also think we are not suitable. You are a soldier, and your life may be organized, but I can't. I have no rules at all, and I do things very slowly.
I believe you wouldn't be able to stand it after spending less than a day with us! Even if you could stand it for a day, you might just be temporarily overwhelmed by hormones.
When you calm down, you'll realize we're not suitable for each other," Song Jinxiu said.
The thought of being with someone who is so strict and does things in a methodical manner makes me feel a little bit unbearable.
Of course, it would be fine if you were just strict with yourself, so that your home would not be dirty and messy.
If the same request is made to my family, wouldn't I, as the wife, be the first to bear the brunt?
Running early in the morning? Waking up to make the bed? Eating like a battle? Or even sleeping in a specific spot?
It’s a bit scary to think about.
"Don't worry, I can still distinguish between life and military life. I am self-disciplined, but I won't ask my partner to be the same as me.
She can have her own life and her own habits. If there are some minor frictions, I believe I can understand!
When two people are together, it's impossible for everything to go smoothly. It takes time for two people to get used to each other!" Zhao Li said, looking at Song Jinxiu.
"Could you please not reject me so quickly? Give each other a chance. Maybe you'll think we're a good match?"
Song Jinxiu hesitated a little, it seemed that what he said made sense!
"Then let's make it a deal. We'll get along slowly from now on, and you can ask me any questions you have about me.
Don't feel embarrassed. After all, we will be together for the rest of our lives. Understanding things in advance will be beneficial to our future relationship."
Zhao Li saw Song Jinxiu's hesitation and made the decision for her.
"I think this hairpin suits you very well. I'm giving it to you. I hope we can have a good beginning and a good ending."
Zhao Li took out a small box from his arms, which contained a crystal hairpin in the shape of a kitten, very cute.
"I can't accept the gift, you can take it back. As for your understanding of each other, I think..." Song Jinxiu paused. "Then let's get to know each other!"
Song Jinxiu originally wanted to refuse. However, a simple refusal might not have much effect on someone who was so obsessed with it.
So if you want to understand, then go ahead and understand. She believes that having two meals together will be enough to make the other party give up!
"I think this kitten is a good match for you, and it's useless for me to keep it if you don't accept it!" Zhao Li smiled brightly when he heard her answer.
"Then don't buy things for me in the future. If you give me something again, I won't accept it!" Song Jinxiu looked at the other party.
He looks handsome normally, and his smile is even more amazing! If we get along well, wouldn't it be okay?
At least this appearance is pretty good.
Didn’t they say it online? Find a good-looking partner, and when you’re angry, look at their face, and maybe you won’t be angry anymore!
From now on, Aunt Cuihua will no longer have to worry about not being able to get married.
It's a pity that Song Jinxiu has a good self-awareness. Gender equality has been advocated for decades but it is not really equal, let alone now.
I am just an orphan from a small city, how can I be worthy of a son of an official?
In the evening, Song Jinxiu took Liu Ankang to Aunt Cuihua's house for dinner.
When you get there, you can eat and someone will wash the dishes after you finish eating. It’s really comfortable.
More importantly, there is gossip to listen to.
"I heard that a new person moved in next door to Ma Dazui in the building next to you." Aunt Cuihua said.
"Really? Didn't they say before that she was doing bad things and drove away several families?" Song Jinxiu replied.
"It seems that it was sold at a low price, and the furniture inside was given away for free. I don't know the details, but I heard that the other party bought it directly without even showing up!" said Aunt Cuihua.
He paused and shook his head, "I just don't know what kind of people will move in this time. If they are easy to get along with, they will be bullied. If they are difficult to get along with, there will be no peace in the building again!"
Song Jinxiu was glad that she lived in a single-family house. If she had so many troubles every day, it would be scary to think about it.
The next day, just as Song Jinxiu went to work, Zhao Li came and brought breakfast.
"Wow, this is so rich, but I've already had breakfast!" Liu Ankang cooks porridge every morning.
"It doesn't matter. My portion has less rice noodles and more vegetables. It looks like a lot, but I won't feel full when I eat it." Zhao Li pushed the rice noodle soup to Song Jinxiu.
Isn’t it said that girls like to eat vegetables? I asked him to add double servings of vegetables and meatballs.
"Everyone says you should eat well in the morning. You get up so early, so you must have eaten in a hurry. My breakfast has vegetables, meat, and staple foods!" said Zhao Li.
"Thank you. Have you had breakfast?" Song Jinxiu thanked him. At worst, she could treat him to lunch at noon.
"I've eaten! Then you take your time eating, I'm leaving first." Zhao Li knew that girls would feel embarrassed to be stared at while eating, so he prepared to retreat.
"By the way, are you free to have lunch together? I heard that there's a roast duck restaurant that makes authentic roast duck, but I've never had the chance to try it. Can you accompany me there to try it at noon?" Zhao Li invited Song Jinxiu before leaving.
"Okay, I'll treat you at noon as a return gift for all the gifts you've given me." Song Jinxiu said generously.
Because she didn't want to give things to others casually, it always felt weird, so it would be more appropriate to treat them to a meal in return.
"Okay!" Zhao Li agreed readily. As long as they could go out to eat together, it didn't matter who paid.
At noon, Zhao Li took Song Jinxiu around in circles, and just when Song Jinxiu wanted to give up and run away, they finally arrived at the place.
This shop is neither in a busy city nor on a main road, but inside a residential building. Will it attract business in this location?
Zhao Li seemed to see Song Jinxiu's confusion and explained to her, "This is a long-established restaurant. I heard that one of their ancestors was a royal chef.
However, he quit his job because of the unrest in the past. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the neighbors asked him to come out of retirement, so he opened a shop in his own home. Customers came to the shop because of word of mouth.
Song Jinxiu nodded. This is what they call masters among the people!
