Chapter 2 System Activation
Qin Huairu said this, but her heart was sweeter than eating candied haws. She had been worried that Lin Chen would look down on her, but she didn't expect that he was so satisfied with her.
After hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly stopped and said with a depressed look: "So Comrade Qin Huairu didn't like me? I was really happy for nothing. I thought I could get a wife as beautiful as you. But it doesn't matter. It's also worth being happy to meet you today. I'll treat you to a meal! Then I'll take you back to the station, so that I can give Aunt Li an explanation."
Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard that the other party actually took her words seriously.
"You...didn't you just say you would take me to Beihai Park to watch ice skating? How could I agree to that when we just met? If we go to the park this afternoon, maybe I would agree!"
Lin Chen was an expert who had experienced many kinds of flowers. He had long seen through Qin Huairu's false reserve, and he could not keep his composure after being tricked by him.
Lin Chen stepped forward and grabbed the other person's hand.
"really?"
Qin Huairu looked around and quickly retracted her hand.
"Well, you don't even know me! What if you don't like me? Let's get to know each other better, and I...I'll answer you this afternoon, okay?"
Lin Chen smiled happily: "Come on, I'll take you to Quanjude to eat roast duck."
As soon as Qin Huairu heard about the noodles, she went to eat roast duck. Would the other party think she was a greedy girl?
"No, no, that's too expensive! Let's just have a bowl of noodles with soybean paste."
Seeing that the other party was a little reserved, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's go. I earn money alone and have no burden. I don't spend much money on weekdays, and I have saved a lot in the past few years. A meal of roast duck will not make me poor..."
Just like that, under Lin Chen's insistence, Qin Huairu obediently followed him into Quanjude.
The two of them ate the roast duck until their mouths were full of oil. During the meal, Lin Chen even wiped the oil stains from the corners of Qin Huairu's mouth.
The little girl's heart jumped to her throat...
When paying the bill, Qin Huairu paid special attention to it. A roast duck cost more than six yuan. Her family couldn't spend that much in a month!

On the other side, the Jia family courtyard
Jia Zhang was a little disappointed when she saw the girl brought by matchmaker Li. While the girl was talking to Jia Dongxu, they went to the pool outside the door.
"Big sister, is this the most beautiful girl in the village you mentioned? I don't think she is!"
"Old sister, you were only willing to pay 10 yuan for the bride price. I went to pick someone up for you today, but there was a family that offered 30 yuan for the bride price. The girl was picked up directly for a blind date. What can I do?"
When Jia Zhang heard that someone was offering thirty years as a dowry to marry a rural girl, she was shocked.
"Bah! This is that pervert who has never seen a woman before. He actually married a country girl at the age of thirty. We in the Jia family don't want to be taken advantage of. It's a blessing for her to be able to live in the city, so she shouldn't ask for a dowry."
Matchmaker Li waited until Jia Zhang had finished venting her anger.
"Old sister, just tell me if this Ma Lan is okay. It's noon now. If she is okay, you should prepare lunch quickly. If not, we will leave. The Ma family is registered in the city and is waiting for my reply! Besides, Ma Lan is the type that will take a while to get to know her. You need to spend more time with her before you can see how attractive she is..."
Matchmaker Li is an experienced person, and she is very good at selling girls. Ma Lan was praised by her, and Jia Zhang looked at her again...
Jia Zhang looked at her son who was chatting enthusiastically with the girl and seemed very satisfied.
"I've already bought the pork belly, how can I let you go? You can help me cook and let them chat. The Ma family's girl has a formal job, so she's a good choice. Now she looks much better than when we first met..."
Matchmaker Li smiled as she saw another gift coming into her pocket: "My dear sister, you are right to think so. Marrying someone with a job is the best choice... why bother with a country girl. The Ma family is better than anyone else... you will know the benefits in the future!"
……
Beihai Park
After having eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Chen had already rushed over with Qin Huairu, and they watched people falling on the lake.
"Lin Chen, can you skate?"
Of course Lin Chen would know how to bring a girl to the skating rink, but now he shook his head: "Not really, can you?"
Qin Huairu also shook her head: "You don't know how to do it, and neither do I. Let's just walk around. If we fall down, we'll definitely make people laugh."
"That's what I thought. There are fewer people over there, so let's go there!"
……
The two found a bench and sat down, and Qin Huairu began to introduce her family situation.
Lin Chen doesn’t care about these things at all. How can a man with a system care about his woman’s bad background?
I'm not planning to be a gigolo... Besides, even if I want to be a gigolo, Silly Ezi will be an adult in a few years. If I can intercept Jia Dongxu, I can intercept Xu Damao...
"Lin Chen, this is the situation in my family. Can you...can you accept it?"
Lin Chen smiled and looked at the other person: "What's so unacceptable about this? I have been without parents since I was a child. From now on, your parents are my parents, and we will take care of them together in their old age."
Qin Huairu didn't expect Lin Chen to agree to her so readily.
"No... they don't need us to take care of them in their old age. I have a brother and sister-in-law who don't need us. It will be fine if we can go back to visit them often in the future..."
Qin Huairu had already used us when they were chatting, and Lin Chen held Qin Huairu's hand again.
"They have raised you for eighteen years, and we should be filial to them. Don't worry, I will accompany you back to visit them often."
This time Qin Huairu did not pull back her hand, because Lin Chen's hand was so warm that it warmed her heart.
"Well, thank you Lin Chen. I will take good care of you when you go to work, and you don't have to worry about the house. I can clean the house, do the laundry, cook and take care of the daily life..."
Qin Huairu almost said she would have a baby...
Lin Chen let go of her hand and took out thirty yuan from his backpack.
"Huai Ru, this is the betrothal money I give you. Take it home today so you can rest assured that I'm not a liar. So your family can rest assured too. I'll pick you up this Sunday. How about we get the marriage certificate?"
Qin Huairu looked at the thirty yuan and didn't dare to take it.
"No, no, you just need to give ten yuan as a betrothal gift. Thirty is too much. There's not even five yuan in the countryside. How dare our family accept thirty from you? You...you take it back. You are so outstanding that we just don't want a betrothal gift...I agree."
Qin Huairu lowered her head and spoke in a lower voice. It was really embarrassing for a girl to say this.
Lin Chen stuffed the money directly into her hand.
"Have you forgotten what I just said? Grandpa left me a lot of money. This money is my filial piety. After all, your parents raised a good wife for me!"
When Qin Huairu heard the other party mention his wife, she was so embarrassed that her earlobes turned red.
He's already calling his wife one after another even though they haven't even gotten married yet.
"Well... okay then! I'll get a letter of certification when I get back and you can pick me up in two days."
[The interception system is activated, and the host succeeded in intercepting for the first time. The novice gift package has been distributed, please check it carefully. ]
Lin Chen had spent so much effort for a whole day just to see if it would be considered a success if the other party accepted his gift. If it didn't work, he could only wait to get it back and stab it...
After Qin Huairu carefully put away the money, the two of them stood up and started walking again.
Now that the betrothal gifts have been received, the relationship between the two has taken a big step closer.
Lin Chen would tell a little joke from time to time to make her giggle.
……
after three o'clock in the afternoon
Sijiucheng Bus Station
"Did you collect the money?"
Qin Huairu nodded
"I'll pick you up at the bus stop at the entrance of the village on Sunday. If you don't come or regret it, I won't refund your money."
Qin Huairu sounded a bit fierce when she spoke, but now she looked like a little hot pepper.
Lin Chen looked at her expression and said with a smile: "Even if there are knives falling from the sky, I will go with an iron pot on my head. You should be ready to be my wife, Lin Chen!"
Qin Huairu boarded the bus reluctantly.
"I'm waiting for you!"
Lin Chen waved his hand at her: "I will definitely go."
Watching the bus go away, Lin Chen was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"The system opens the gift package."
[The novice gift package has been opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining it. A portable space, a powerful dragon and tiger pill, the pinnacle of Huangquan Thirteen Needle Technique (with thirteen special silver needles), a pair of perspective pupils, and the charm value for attracting the opposite sex is enabled. The maximum value is 100. The host is currently at 80 (the host can specify whether to use it on someone or not, and can also adjust the charm value at will to avoid causing trouble to the host). May I ask if the host will inherit the skills?]
"inherited"
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, a lot of knowledge about acupuncture points instantly appeared in his brain.
