Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

As Lin Geng ate the last piece of meat in the bowl, he looked up at Yu Li and nodded, "Well, just ask if you have anything to ask!"

Yu Li boldly asked Lin Geng with a blushing face: "I want to ask, are you satisfied with me?"

Lin Geng immediately laughed and nodded without hesitation: "Of course I am satisfied. I am very happy to meet you. I can see that you are a good girl, so I have to thank Director Wang for introducing you to me!"

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Yu Li felt relieved and smiled brightly, but she was still a little embarrassed and gathered the hair around her ears. She blushed and said, "If you are satisfied with me, my parents want to see if you have time to come to my house to meet you!"

Lin Geng was slightly surprised, thinking that this was a bit too fast. He and Yu Li had just met and had met twice before Yu Li suggested that he go to her house to meet her parents. But on second thought, he couldn't help but laugh.

Because this is the way it is in this era, after a man and a woman meet, if they are satisfied with each other, they often start talking about marriage very quickly. The fastest case is getting a marriage certificate the next day after meeting each other, and there are quite a few of them. Basically, they get married first and then date.

Love and marriage in this era were nothing like those in later generations. People would date for several years without rushing into marriage. There were even many people who lived together for several years without getting married. Moreover, they were very casual about matters between men and women. If they got along well, they would stay together. If not, they would break up.

So after understanding this, Lin Geng was not very opposed to it. After thinking for a while, he smiled and nodded and said, "Just now you only asked me if I was satisfied with you, but I didn't ask you if you were satisfied with me! Are you in such a hurry to let me go to your house to meet your parents?"

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Yu Li's pretty face turned even redder. She gave Lin Geng a reproachful look and whispered, "I asked you to come to my house. Do you think I am satisfied with you?"

Lin Geng shook his head and grinned: "Satisfaction alone is not enough, I need to know whether you like me or not!"

Yu Li was a little embarrassed by Lin Geng's straightforward teasing. She spat at Lin Geng and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "You are so mean! How can you ask such a question? Humph!"

Lin Geng could clearly see at this time that Yu Li liked him very much. Although the two had not known each other for a long time, he could still clearly feel that Yu Li had a good impression of him. There was no doubt about that. This kind of liking might not be simple, and it included many factors, including liking him as a person and liking his financial conditions, but so what?

Originally, this kind of thing, unless it is love at first sight, is basically not pure love. It is just a comprehensive weighing of various factors and the fact that the two people like each other, and then it gradually develops into love.

So Lin Geng could accept Yu Li's suggestion that he go to her house to meet her parents.

Thinking about the past year, since Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong, he had met many girls at the urging of Director Wang. There was not much point in continuing to be picky. It just so happened that Director Wang introduced Yu Li to him by chance, and he had a good impression of Li. He also knew that in the original drama, Yu Li was a smart woman and could be considered a good match for him, so he smiled and nodded and agreed.

After the meal, five pounds of mutton were eaten. Even though Yu Li ate without restraint, she could only eat less than one-third of it. The rest was still eaten by the big-bellied Lin Geng. But even so, Yu Li was still full. When she paid the bill and left, she burped loudly, which made her face blush again.

Seeing Yu Li's blushing face, Lin Geng couldn't help but laugh. Yu Li was so embarrassed when she saw Lin Geng's smile that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out. She pinched Lin Geng in anger and said coquettishly, "Don't laugh. It's all your fault. You kept picking food for me. That's why I ate too much! Humph!"

Lin Geng quickly pretended to be in pain and raised his hands in surrender. Then the two of them took their bicycles, but instead of riding them, they walked to digest the food and took Yu Li to the department store.

After Lin Geng brought Yu Li to the department store, he acted like a rich man. He picked out two new sets of clothes for Yu Li in the clothing area, then went to the shoe counter and picked out a pair of small leather shoes for Yu Li. He then took her to the bag counter and bought her a women's leather bag.

That’s not all. He also took Yu Li to the cosmetics counter and bought her Pechoin.

Although Yu Li was very happy in her heart, she felt sorry for Lin Geng spending money and repeatedly refused to buy anything. However, Lin Geng didn't care and dragged her around the mall. Whenever he saw something he liked, he would just pay for it without saying a word, which made Yu Li very distressed.

Lin Geng spent more than 50 yuan on this trip, which may not sound like a lot, but in that era, many things were very cheap. Except for industrial products like bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios, which were relatively expensive, the prices of other commodities were very affordable.

Lin Geng bought Yu Li things worth more than fifty yuan, which was considered very generous in that era. Even many young people would not spend so much money on things when they got married.

So Yu Li was very happy in her heart, but at the same time she felt distressed for Lin Geng's extravagance. The conflicted expression on her pretty face made Lin Geng laugh secretly, and at the same time he felt relieved.

After this shopping trip, he was basically certain that Yu Li had no problem with her character. She was not the kind of person who was greedy and vain. Moreover, she was a girl who knew how to manage the household frugally. This was enough for him, and basically made Lin Geng determined to marry Yu Li.

When Lin Geng sent Yu Li home and dropped her off at the entrance of her alley before leaving, Yu Li, carrying large and small bags of things, looked at Lin Geng's back as he rode away on his bike. She was reluctant to look away for a long time, until she could no longer see Lin Geng's back, then she happily carried her things and went home.

As soon as they entered their courtyard, the residents in the yard saw the large and small bags of things in Yu Li's hands. The neighbors' young girls and wives couldn't help but come over and ask Yu Li why she bought so many things and how much it cost.

Especially when they saw the Lenin suits made of fine materials, leather shoes and women's handbags, the young girls and wives in the yard were extremely envious. They all asked Yu Li if she was crazy and why she bought so many things.
