Chapter 100 Would you like to date me?
Luo Jinhao turned his head and saw Xu Qinghuan. He looked at her, then at Jiang Xingye, clicked his tongue, said hello to Xu Qinghuan, and rode away on his precious big golden deer.

Jiang Xingye was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. When Xu Qinghuan approached him, he quickly picked a tomato and handed it to him. Xu Qinghuan didn't take it, so he quickly turned around and went to the well to wash it.

"I don't want to eat. I just finished my meal and I'm so full. Have you eaten?" Xu Qinghuan saw her lunch box containing braised pork on the small square table in the room.

"I haven't yet. It's already prepared. Would you like to eat some more?" After asking, Jiang Xingye wanted to bite off his tongue before she said she was very full.

"Well, let me try it!" Xu Qinghuan walked in and sat down at the small square table, supporting her cheek with one hand. She watched Jiang Xingye clumsily trying to get the food and bumping his head against the wall. She couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xingye was very annoyed and turned to glare at her, but there was a smile in his eyes, without his usual fierce look, he looked like a big, lovable dog.

"Still laughing!" He said softly, so soft that it didn't sound like his own voice.

Xu Qinghuan held back her laughter, but she bit her lips lightly with her pearly teeth. Her smiling eyes were moist, like the misty waves in autumn water, which made Jiang Xingye's heart tremble suddenly. He felt guilty as if he had done something bad. He quickly turned his head and served Xu Qinghuan a bowl of corn and wild vegetable porridge.

His meal tonight was corn and wild vegetable porridge, and a two-grain flour pancake, which was served on the table in a porcelain bowl.

He also filled himself a bowl of corn and wild vegetable porridge, handed Xu Qinghuan a pair of chopsticks, and the two sat facing each other.

He had no home since his father passed away. When he had dinner at his uncle's house, there was always a large table of people, but there had never been a moment like this one, which made him feel so warm and nostalgic.

Xu Qinghuan picked up the wild vegetable porridge and put most of it into Jiang Xingye's bowl. "I can't eat so much, I'll just try your cooking."

Jiang Xingye was very nervous, "I'll just cook it casually if I want to eat it myself. If you come again, I'll cook it well!"

The wild vegetables had a sweet taste. Xu Qinghuan didn’t know what kind of wild vegetables they were. The cornmeal was cooked until soft and tasted pretty good.

Xu Qinghuan raised his chin towards the lunch box and asked, "Why aren't you eating the braised pork?"

Jiang Xingye pushed the braised pork towards her and said, "I'll throw it in the well. It shouldn't go bad. I'll save it for you to eat tomorrow."

At noon, he had a bowl of rice soaked in the broth of the braised pork, which was already very delicious. If he hadn't been afraid that she would dislike him for leaving half of the rice, he would not have eaten a full lunch box.

Xu Qinghuan looked up at him. His eyebrows were firm, his nose was high, and he looked fierce and wild, with a bit of ruffian air that was not pleasing to the eye. But who would have thought that he had such a gentle side.

But if I don’t eat the braised pork today, and leave it for another day, even if I can eat it, it won’t taste good. “Then I want to eat it now.”

Jiang Xingye was also a little annoyed. Today's food was not good, but he still asked her to eat. He quickly heated up the braised pork and pushed the whole box of braised pork in front of her.

Xu Qinghuan only took a few pieces and pushed them to him, "You eat it, I can't eat so much. Don't leave it until tomorrow, it will taste bad."

"Yeah." Jiang Xingye couldn't help but tighten his grip on the chopsticks, joy and emotion overflowing from his heart and eyes.
How could he not know that she didn't want to eat, she wanted him to eat.

Jiang Xingye finished the entire lunch box of braised pork in silence.

The two-grain pancake had too much cornmeal in it, so it was a bit hard to eat. Xu Qinghuan only broke off a small piece and tasted it.

Jiang Xingye saw that she ate very little, so he put away the pots and bowls and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make you some brown sugar eggs."

Xu Qinghuan rubbed his stomach and said, "I can't eat anymore. I'm really full. I won't be able to sleep at night."

Jiang Xingye stood in front of her, looking at her quietly and greedily. He knew that he was a million miles away from her, but he still couldn't help wanting to get close to her.

He had also thought that Xu Qinghuan might just be joking with him and would never want to marry a country boy like him.

She said herself that her mother would find a wealthy family to marry her off to, and she would be able to return to the city. She was the bright moon in the sky, and shining on the ditch did not mean she would fall into the ditch.

But he was like a possessed man, and even so, it couldn't stop him from wanting to take care of her and be good to her.

Xu Qinghuan looked at his brows, which were deep and resolute. She tilted her head and asked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Jiang Xingye hesitated for a long time before turning his head and said, "Yes, you will go back to the city, right?" It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Well, I will definitely return to the city in the future."

Jiang Xingye said nothing more. He dragged his heavy steps into the room and came out after a while, handing her a roll of banknotes. "If you can't do the work in the fields, don't do it. Just use the money to buy what you want to eat."

Xu Qinghuan took it in astonishment and looked at what was in his hand. There were more than a dozen Great Unity banknotes, a roll of change, and rare food coupons, oil coupons, soap coupons and the like. He didn't know how long he had been saving them.

The total amount was less than two hundred yuan, but it was a huge sum of money in the countryside at that time.

Xu Qinghuan couldn't believe it, "Give it all to me?"

Jiang Xingye hesitated and said, "No, no, I left a dozen dollars, I have other uses for it."

He needs some money to make ends meet.

He took it out of his pocket and showed it to her, "Take it all if you want."

Xu Qinghuan couldn't explain how she felt. In her two lifetimes, no one had ever given her everything they had.

What she wants, she can only fight for herself.

For the first time in her life, she had done nothing and yet someone gave her everything.

Xu Qinghuan clutched the banknote tightly in his hand. "I could have found a job in the city. Before I went to the countryside, I sold two jobs. Do you know why I didn't stay in the city but went to the countryside?"

Jiang Xingye shook his head, but he knew that she must have had her own reasons, and he felt very distressed. He restrained the desire to hold her in his arms and comfort her.

"My father was a soldier and had made many military achievements. Less than three months after his death, my biological mother remarried his comrade-in-arms. She gave birth to a son for her new husband and raised two stepdaughters. However, because her mother-in-law did not like her, she still had no stable position in her new husband's family.

In order to pave the way for her youngest son, she used me as a marriage partner. Before I went to the countryside, I managed to cancel the marriage she had arranged for me. The marriage was with Jiang Chengxu, the newly arrived educated youth.

Jiang Xingye clenched his fists tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and his face looked fierce as he suppressed his surging anger.

Xu Qinghuan reached out and held his wrist. Her hand was warm and cool, which calmed his anger very well.

"But she won't give up. She will book a house for me and try every means to get me back to the city and make me a victim to fulfill her ambitions. Unless..."

Xu Qinghuan looked at Jiang Xingye. He lowered his eyes to look at her, with flames dancing in his eyes.

"Unless I'm engaged and get married in the future, my household registration will remain in the countryside and I won't be able to move back to the city."

When she is able to return to the city in the future, she will have accumulated a certain amount of connections and will be able to fight against her.

Jiang Xingye's heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest.

"Huanhuan!" he said with difficulty. "Let's get married. No, I mean I can marry you and transfer your household registration to the production team. Then your biological mother will have no choice. Once you get married, she won't be able to arrange another marriage for you."

He was so excited that he was incoherent and had no idea what he was going to say.

"Well, that's a good idea." Xu Qinghuan looked at him with a smile and asked, "So, Comrade Jiang Xingye, are you willing to be my partner?"

Jiang Xingye was stunned for a long time, then he suddenly turned around and walked out the door. In the yard, he looked around and looked up at the sky, as if he couldn't find his soul. Then he walked in quickly, his usually dark eyes shining brightly.

"Huanhuan, what did you just say?" he asked in a trembling voice, looking anxious.
