Lu Xiaochun's hands were cracked from constant work, but she wanted to save money for a job and was reluctant to buy clam oil.
Lu Xiaolan gave Lu Xiaochun a box, but she was reluctant to use it and only used a small bit after washing the dishes.
"Xiaochun, take it quickly." Xiao Zhao held up the clam oil and seeing that Lu Xiaochun didn't react, he passed it forward again.
"How much did you buy this for? I'll give you the money." Lu Xiaochun said and started to take out money.
"No need, Xiaochun, you are my girlfriend, and this clam oil is not expensive." Xiao Zhao's face was not very good. He didn't expect Lu Xiaochun to refuse it.
Lu Xiaochun took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhao, shaking his head: "I don't want your mother to come to me again because of a bottle of clam oil."
Xiao Zhao was completely speechless, his anger was tangled together: "Xiaochun, this matter can't be let go, right? I've already said that my mother knows she was wrong, and she will definitely not come to you again in the future."
"Does your mother really know she's wrong?" Lu Xiaochun didn't believe anything he said.
Xiao Zhao felt a little guilty, but still nodded affirmatively: "My parents love me very much. You see, I don't want to work in the food factory anymore, I want to go to the machinery factory, so my parents used their connections to transfer me there."
There is no comparison between these two things. Lu Xiaochun thinks Xiao Zhao is thinking too simply.
"Brother Zhao, we have been dating for a while, what are your plans for the future?"
Xiao Zhao's face turned from gloomy to bright, and her voice was anxious: "Xiaochun, do you agree to marry me? I will go back and tell my parents, and I will go to the factory to get a certificate and get the household registration booklet to register."
"Wait," Lu Xiaochun interrupted Xiao Zhao, "Regarding marriage, what do you think, Zhao? How much do you want to give as a gift? Where will we live after we get married? How will we plan for the future?"
Xiao Zhao was speechless and did not answer immediately.
Lu Xiaochun pursed his lips into a slit, and couldn't tell what he felt.
"Xiaochun, when we get married, I will give you all my salary as a betrothal gift. Can I give you 100 yuan as a betrothal gift?"
Lu Xiaochun's disappointment showed on her face, and she spoke rudely.
"Brother Zhao, I don't have a job, but I'm not born with it. I can find out how much the bride price is in the city. I don't have a job, so forget it if you think I'm not worthy of you."
Lu Xiaochun turned and left, and Xiao Zhao immediately followed him. He tried to explain, "Xiaochun, I don't think you are unworthy of me. You are a good person. I have already said that I will give you my salary in the future, and I have also given you a betrothal gift. Isn't that enough?"
Lu Xiaochun suddenly stopped and Xiao Zhao almost bumped into Lu Xiaochun.
"Brother Zhao, have you ever inquired about how much dowry your classmates and friends give when they get married? A watch, a bicycle, a radio, don't they have to have at least one? Don't they have to have a new piece of clothing?"
"As for the salary you mentioned? Are you sure you can decide?"
Originally, Lu Xiaochun wanted to save face for Xiao Zhao and not say these things, but Xiao Zhao tried to fool him, which made Lu Xiaochun sad and disappointed.
Xiao Zhao's face turned pale when he heard what Lu Xiaochun said. Of course he knew about it. He had specially inquired about it in order to get married. But Lu Xiaochun didn't have a job, and Zhao's mother was already very dissatisfied.
If he asked for so much dowry, Zhao's mother would definitely not let Xiao Zhao marry Lu Xiaochun.
In Xiao Zhao's opinion, the most important thing for them now is to get married. After they get married, if Lu Xiaochun behaves well, Zhao's mother will definitely no longer mind the fact that Lu Xiaochun has no job.
Xiao Zhao didn't say these words, but Lu Xiaochun could see it on his face.
The main problem now is not Zhao's mother, but Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao thinks that Lu Xiaochun is a rural girl and has no job, so she should take a step back and listen to Zhao's mother.
But why? Lu Xiaochun had never eaten a grain of rice from the Zhao family. Why should she suffer for Xiao Zhao? Xiao Zhao kept saying that he wanted to marry Lu Xiaochun, but what did he do for Lu Xiaochun?
Lu Xiaochun, who had just come to the city, was blinded by Xiao Zhao's aura as a city dweller and did not notice the problem.
But now she was about to get a job, and Zhao's mother came to Lu Xiaochun to make trouble again. Lu Xiaochun slowly began to think about these things.
"Xiaochun, you don't have a job and you're from the countryside. The dowry you ask for is different from that of city girls." Seeing that Lu Xiaochun was in a daze, Xiao Zhao still said it out loud.
"If a rural girl who doesn't have a job gets married in the city, will she also only get a hundred yuan as a dowry?" Lu Xiaochun asked with his neck raised?
Of course not.
Xiao Zhao knew it, and Lu Xiaochun knew it too.
Lu Xiaochun didn't want to talk anymore, so she turned around and left. She wanted to think carefully about their relationship.
This time, Xiao Zhao did not stop her. He felt that Lu Xiaochun was being a little pretentious. They were both going to get married, so why bother about so many things.
Lu Xiaochun could feel that Xiao Zhao was not chasing her from behind. Tears slowly flowed down her face. She lowered her head and wiped them away quickly.
In the next few days, Xiao Zhao did not come to see Lu Xiaochun, and Lu Xiaochun did not go to see him either.
Seeing Lu Xiaochun becoming calmer and calmer, Lu Xiaolan couldn't help but ask, "Xiaochun, are you worried that Mengmeng won't be given the job? I heard that the college entrance examination results will be out in the next few days."
Lu Xiaochun shook his head: "Sister, I'm fine. I believe Sister Mengmeng is a person who keeps her word."
"So what's wrong with you these past few days? You've been eating less, not talking as much, and even smiling less. Is it because Xiao Zhao hasn't come to see you recently?"
Lu Xiaolan looked at the expression on Lu Xiaochun's face and asked tentatively.
"Nothing, sister, don't ask." Lu Xiaochun lowered his head and said, "Sister, I'm going to Sister Mengmeng's house."
Lu Xiaolan sighed, it seemed to be because of Xiao Zhao’s matter.
Lu Xiaochun didn't want to tell Lu Xiaolan about her and Xiao Zhao. She herself hadn't figured out what was going on between them. Even if she told Lu Xiaolan, it would only make her anxious.
Lu Xiaochun was in a hurry when she came out just now, so she didn't take the ten eggs she had prepared. Seeing that it was still early, Lu Xiaochun went to the department store. She wanted to buy some snacks for Qi Mengmeng.
Today is a holiday and there are many people in front of the snack counter. Lu Xiaochun waited outside for a while.
The girl at the front of the line, wearing a white cotton jacket with floral patterns, asked the salesperson to pack a portion of all the dim sum. She turned around and asked the man next to her, "Did I buy too much?"
"Not much. Each flavor is different," the man murmured.
Lu Xiaochun widened his eyes and looked forward. The voice was Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao in front took the snacks handed over by the salesperson and asked the girl next to him, "Do you want to buy something else? I heard that the department store has newly received canned food. Shall we go buy some?"
"I love canned fruit. Let's buy some more." The young girl said as she walked towards the canned food counter next to her, and Xiao Zhao followed immediately.
"This young man just doesn't know how to live when he's dating. Can he finish all the snacks he bought?" The lady standing in front of Lu Xiaochun was a little dissatisfied.
Is that Xiao Zhao's girlfriend? Then what is she?
