Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Forgive Her for Forgetting Qin Yang

Li Jian was just about to grab his food tray for the canteen when he saw the person and raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid I will ride off with your bicycle?"

It was a scorching hot day and he was sweating profusely, not afraid of getting a heat stroke.

Lin Chuxia wiped the sweat from her forehead and tucked her damp hair behind her ears, "No, Brother Li is not that kind of person. I just thought about having a meal with Brother Li. It’s been a long time, and the canteen probably doesn’t have good food anymore. Let’s go, let’s go to the State-Owned Restaurant instead."

Li Jian didn’t know why, but he found this girl quite interesting the first time he interacted with her.

He worked at the vegetable station every day and had seen all sorts of young women and wives, but a girl like Lin Chuxia, who had her little schemes yet wasn’t annoying and was straightforward, was really rare.

Thinking about how his mother nagged him about daughters-in-law all day long, nearly nagging his ears off, Li Jian took another look at Lin Chuxia.

Tall and slim, though her clothes were old, they were clean, and her rolled-up sleeves revealed a chunk of her fair arm.

An oval face, willow brows, almond eyes, a high nose bridge, lips that were neither too big nor too small, with a hint of red – a very compelling appearance that was pleasant to behold.

Especially her aura; if he hadn’t seen her delivering vegetables, he would never have guessed she was a rural girl.

"Let’s go then."

Li Jian set the food tray aside on a windowsill and stepped out of the vegetable station with Lin Chuxia.

There weren’t many people at the State-Owned Restaurant at that moment. Lin Chuxia chose a seat by the side and went to the window to order dishes.

Braised pork, three-vegetable dish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and she also ordered a serving of cold dish with mashed garlic and green beans, opting for two bowls of white rice as the main dish.

The service attendant at the State-Owned Restaurant was as indifferent as always, placing all the dishes at the window to be picked up personally.

This was precisely why the business at the State-Owned Restaurant had been declining.

Many people would rather run to a small food stall outside and snack on a couple of pancakes than put up with the service at the State-Owned Restaurant.

Seeing these dishes, Li Jian felt a bit embarrassed, "You’re spending too much."

He had only intended to have a casual meal with this girl and had not expected her to order several of the restaurant’s top dishes today.

Lin Chuxia smiled and passed him a pair of chopsticks, "What expense? If it weren’t for Brother Li’s help today, how could I have bought that cart?"

"It’s nothing."

Li Jian didn’t mention that he had just been promoted the day before yesterday, now managing a small team of about a dozen people.

On the surface, he didn’t show much, but upon privately inquiring, he understood that recently upper management had been focusing on service issues in their field.

Coincidentally, Director overheard Lin Chuxia’s comments that day, resulting him to be cited as an example.

You could say he had a stroke of luck or that he was fortunate because of Lin Chuxia’s favor, which is why he proactively helped her get a cart. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Looking at the girl opposite him who ate heartily but not rudely, and reminded of her ability to read faces, whether true or not,

"I see you came back so quickly, your family is from Qin Family Village?"

The closest village to their vegetable station, mainly of vegetable farmers, was indeed Qin Family Village.

"Yes, my in-laws are from Qin Family Village."

Li Jian paused slightly, "You’re married? Where is your husband? Why are you here selling vegetables alone?"

"My husband works out of town."

Lin Chuxia did not hide anything, since she would inevitably have to deal with Li Jian frequently in the future, and someone intent on finding out could easily do so, thus there was no need for secrecy.
