They are clearly a handsome man and a beautiful woman; they are pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.
After realizing his own thoughts, Lu Jinguang began to despise himself. Was this the time to talk about this?
However, no matter how you look at it, they seem like a perfect match.
How about I play matchmaker myself when I have some free time?
A young intellectual from the city and a military officer—they were a good match.
I just don't know who this Song Qinghe is. Although she doesn't talk much, she gives off a more comfortable feeling than those other educated youth.
The idea flashed through Lu Jingguang's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
It's more important to deal with the immediate problem first, otherwise Song Qinghe will be sleeping on the streets.
"This is Song Qinghe, a sent-down youth who just came to our village."
"As you know, there are no educated youth settlements in our village. When educated youth are sent to the countryside, they all stay in farmers' homes."
"What do you see?"
“Okay.” Upon hearing the village chief’s words, Lu Zhaolin immediately nodded and said, “Uncle, don’t worry, Song Zhiqing is staying with me. I will definitely take good care of her.”
"Oh, is that okay?"
Lu Jinguang was a little confused. Why did he agree so readily? He had planned to reason with him and appeal to his emotions.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaolin readily agreed.
"Alright, hehe, I'll leave Song Zhiqing in your care. See if you can arrange a place for her to stay."
"By the way, there will be roll call at the village committee compound first thing tomorrow morning. Song Zhiqing, remember to report there. The village will arrange jobs for you."
"OK."
Song Qinghe didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The key point is that the rent hasn't been negotiated yet. Could it be that he wants to take her in for free?
It's a bit awkward for a man and a woman to be alone together.
Song Qinghe felt like she had gotten a bargain, although she felt that she was definitely not at a disadvantage living with such a handsome guy.
But these days there are too many people and too many eyes, if it gets out, it might not sound so good.
Song Qinghe paused slightly, but still took the initiative to say, "Comrade, I'm staying at your house for free, so how about we calculate the rent?"
Lu Zhaolin said, "My name is Lu Zhaolin."
Song Qinghe smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Lu."
Lu Zhaolin: "..."
You can actually call him by his name.
But he only said it on the tip of his tongue; he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
It would seem strange to make such a request on my own.
Forget it, let's wait until the two of them get to know each other better before making a decision.
Seeing that he didn't speak and kept staring at her with an indescribable sorrow in his eyes, Song Qinghe noticed that he was silent.
She was a little confused. She looked down at her own outfit. Could it be because she smelled too bad from the train ride?
Otherwise, why would he stare at me like that?
That would be incredibly rude.
Song Qinghe paused for a moment: "Is there a problem?"
Lu Zhaolin shook his head: "No, you don't need to pay the rent. You're new here and it's not easy for you. You should save the money to buy yourself something."
"Also, I might have to go back to my unit in a while, then you'll be living here all by yourself."
Is there a problem?
He didn't care about the rent; he was joking, rent was nothing compared to his wife.
Although she's not his wife yet, since he's considering pursuing her, he should be more open about it.
What kind of man acts like this, being stingy and miserly?
Moreover, he has allowances and subsidies, and he's a bachelor, so he can't possibly spend all of it.
Not only the money, but he also threw all the receipts aside.
The food in the team was usually okay, and they provided all the daily necessities. Lu Zhaolin didn't have any quirks; he didn't smoke or drink, and he didn't like snacks, so there was really nowhere for him to spend his money.
However, things are different now.
He wanted to spend money on her.
People in the team often tease him, saying that he's saving up for his wife, and that he saves all his money for her to use. And that's exactly how it is.
Lu Zhaolin wished he could take out his bankbook and other documents right now and hand them to Song Qinghe.
I'm afraid that if I actually did that, I'd scare people away.
That would be troublesome.
Song Qinghe was stunned by his words, which meant that Lu Zhaolin would be leaving soon.
Does she live here all by herself?
Then what is there to worry about?
This perfectly aligns with her original intention: she wouldn't need to be subservient to others, nor would she need to live under someone else's roof.
Just be patient for a few days.
The problem is the rent. If I don't pay, I feel like I'm taking advantage of him.
What if I can't explain it clearly in the future?
Or perhaps—
