1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley
Chapter 4 Quanjude Eating Roast Duck
After listening, Qin Huairu had some understanding of Chen Xiao.
Then she began to introduce herself to Chen Xiao.
"My name is Qin Huairu. I'm from Qinjia Village outside the city. My parents are both healthy, and I have a younger brother."
When Qin Huairu said this, Chen Xiao was a little confused.
How come Qin Huairu has a younger brother? Her younger brother did not appear in the original novel. Only her cousin Qin Jingru appeared, and she was raped by the old pervert Xu Damao.
Never mind, whether he has a younger brother or not has nothing to do with Chen Xiao, and Qin Huairu is not a brother-obsessed person.
At this time, the waiter came over with the roast duck.
"A roast duck, sir, please enjoy it slowly!"
After placing the roast duck on the table, the waiter continued to go to other tables and call out.
Chen Xiao picked up a lotus leaf pancake, picked up two slices of duck meat with chopsticks, dipped it in some seasoning, rolled it up, and handed it to Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu took it with a red face, pinched the lotus leaf cake with her fingers and put it in her mouth to chew.
"By the way, how much is your family's betrothal gift? Do you require any requirements like three major items?"
Afraid that Qin Huairu would choke, Chen Xiao pushed the teacup on the table in front of Qin Huairu.
Then I rolled up a lotus leaf pancake and put the duck meat in it and tasted it.
After two lives, this was the first time for Chen Xuan to eat roast duck at Quanjude. He just took a look at the menu and saw that a roast duck cost 8 yuan, which was more than one-third of his salary.
However, it’s expensive for a reason, because it’s really delicious!
Qin Huairu on the opposite side was attracted by Chen Xiao's actions.
Not only was he handsome, but he also seemed to be particularly nice to her. He personally rolled lotus leaf cakes for her and served her tea.
This was the first time Qin Huairu had seen a man who knew how to care for others.
To be honest, Qin Huairu really wants to marry Chen Xiao.
But then I remembered my family's dowry requirements and my dream of owning a sewing machine.
Qin Huairu was afraid that Chen Xiao couldn't come up with so much money.
But then I remembered that Chen Xiao brought me to Quanjude to eat roast duck, so he must be a rich man.
She hesitated for a moment and then answered Chen Xiao's question.
"My family asked for a five-yuan gift..."
"Also, I want a sewing machine. If you can't afford it, forget it. I don't mind."
"Oh, you mean you want a sewing machine in addition to the three major items? Sure, that's no problem." Chen Xiao answered without thinking.
Chen Xiao had long wanted to buy the remaining two of the three major items: a watch and a radio.
Watches can be worn to show off, and radios can be listened to to kill time when bored. After all, entertainment in this era is too boring.
It wouldn’t be a big deal to get a sewing machine at the end, since it’s for mending my own clothes anyway.
"Ah!!!!" Qin Huairu opened her mouth wide and looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief.
She originally just wanted a sewing machine. As for the other three major items, Qin Huairu didn't dare to ask for them at all.
I didn’t expect Chen Xiao to be so rich that he bought four major items for his wedding.
"What's wrong? Don't you agree?" Chen Xiao asked.
"No, it's not that I disagree. I'm just afraid that you will look down on me and despise my identity as a country girl." Qin Huairu said with a blushing face.
"How could I dislike you? From now on, you are my Chen Xiao's wife."
As he spoke, Chen Xiao held Qin Huairu's little hand.
"Don't be like this, there are so many people here." Qin Huairu shyly retracted her hand.
Then the two finished their roast duck and walked out of Quanjude’s door.
When paying the bill just now, Qin Huairu paid special attention and found that a roast duck actually cost eight yuan.
No, no, it’s too expensive. I can’t live like this after I get married.
As she thought about it, Qin Huairu's face turned red again, and she said secretly with her fists clenched.
"Qin Huairu, how can you say such things? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you have no shame at all."
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xuan turned around and asked when he heard Qin Huairu muttering behind him.
"Ah? No, no, no, I didn't say anything." Qin Huairu waved her hands in panic to explain.
"Let's go. I'll take you home now, meet your parents, and then propose marriage!"
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Qin Huairu was a little bolder this time.
Not only did he pinch the corner of Chen Xiao's clothes with one hand, he also put his little head close to Chen Xiao's back.
But I didn’t dare to actually put it on.
Qin Huairu lives in Qinjia Village outside Sijiu City, which is not particularly far away. Qin Huairu said it takes about an hour to ride a bike.
Halfway through the ride, Chen Xiao remembered that he couldn't go empty-handed when meeting his father-in-law for the first time, he had to buy something!
Then I bought two bottles of Erguotou, some melon seeds and peanuts at the department store, and finally weighed two kilograms of candy.
Qin Huairu, who was sitting in the back seat, was making plans in her heart.
"Two bottles of Erguotou, melon seeds and peanuts, and even two kilograms of candy, which cost another five yuan and twenty cents. Adding the roast duck I bought earlier, my total spending today is thirteen yuan and twenty cents."
"No, Chen Xiao doesn't know the hardship of being the head of a household. After I marry him, I must support the family behind him and try not to let him waste money!"
After leaving the city and coming to the outside of the city, a winding path appeared in front of Chen Xiao.
Looking at the bumpy road, Chen Xiao wondered if Qin Huairu would feel any pain sitting in the back seat.
Before traveling through time, he had tried sitting on the back of a bicycle. It was fine when the road was smooth, but when the road got bumpy, his butt would really hurt.
Maybe Qin Huairu wouldn't feel any pain. After all, she's so big, so there must be a lot of fat...
Chen Xiao said to Qin Huairu without turning his head.
"Qin Huairu, hold on to my waist tightly. The road is difficult to walk on, so be careful not to fall."
"Well...I see."
This time, Qin Huairu did not hesitate. She put her arms around Chen Xiao's waist and even put her little head against his back.
Qin Huairu felt the warmth of Chen Xiao's body, and her face was filled with happiness. She began to imagine their married life and even thought of a name for their child.
Qinjia Village is not big, with only about a hundred households, and almost everyone in the village is related.
Realizing that they were approaching the village, Qin Huairu withdrew her hands from Chen Xiao's waist, then pointed at a house in the village and said.
"The third house over there is my home."
As soon as we entered the village, villagers started to greet us.
"Huai Ru. Didn't you go to the city for a blind date? How come you brought your partner home? Oh, and you bought so many gifts. Are you getting married?" An old lady covered her mouth and laughed.
"Aunt, what are you talking about?" Qin Huairu replied with a red face.
The aunt in front of her is her aunt, and she also knows that she is going to the city for a blind date this time.
"Your partner is really handsome. You two are a perfect match."
"aunt……"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. My Huairu is thin-skinned and is blushing."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll take the kids to your house later to eat some wedding candy and ask for your blessing."
