And they were all imported watches.

Gu Qingyao was speechless. These were such expensive items!

Gu Jinfeng gave her a dashing smile. He patted Gu Qingyao’s head. “You’re getting engaged. Of course, I have to give the best. Every girl is vain! Now, you’re not permitted to wear jewelry, so you can only wear watches.”

Eldest Brother Gu Jinye smiled. “Don’t stand on ceremony. Your fourth brother is rich! You should just let him spend his money. Here, this is from me. Keep it and make two sets of clothes. You’ll look good in these colors.”

Gu Jinye gave her two pieces of woolen cloth. One was red with black checks and although it was expensive, it was more common. The other was a bright, pure red!

This was extremely rare. Gu Qingyao’s eyes brightened when she saw it!

“Wow! Eldest Brother, where did you get such beautiful woolen cloth? It’s so rare.”

In these times, items of this color were extremely rare.

Gu Jinye smiled. “I asked my friend to get it from Shanghai. The goods there are much nicer. I reserved it as a present for you when I came back. Since you were getting engaged, I didn’t take it out immediately. I went to town today to get this checked piece to give to you together!”

Gu Qingyao hugged them to herself with a smile. “Thank you, Eldest Brother!”

Gu Jinlin gave her two pairs of leather shoes and a small sling bag.

These were all thoughtful gifts. In these times, there were not many gifts for young girls. Except for watches, it would be clothes, or shoes or other things of that nature.

Xu Jingzhi walked in with a smile. He gave Gu Qingyao a fountain pen. It was pure black and its tip was slightly pink. It was beautiful!

“Thank you, Elder Brother Xu!”

Xu Jingzhi knew the Gu brothers and Mo Beihan, but this was the first time he was seeing Gu Qingyao after she had grown up. He had heard the Gu brothers mention her numerous times, but he seldom saw her.

He recalled that he had met Gu Qingyao once a few years ago, but at that time, Gu Qingyao was still a child. He remembered that she had been a very pretty little girl, but now in a blink of an eye, she was all grown up!

Xu Jingzhi looked at the graceful young girl standing before him, and could not help feeling a twinge of regret. She was so pretty!

That Mo Beihan had moved really fast!

…

An aroma was drifting from the kitchen. The members of the brigade who wanted to take part in the festivities also arrived.

When the children came, Gu Qingyao gave them each a couple of sweets, delighting them.

In the kitchen, Zhou Ping was looking at the two large fish. She was loath to part with them. She already knew that these were to be prepared for others, and they would have to add so much tofu to it. What a waste.

Fang Ling looked at her. “We’ll cook all this and later on, we’ll just add more mushrooms and tofu to the soup. Then we’ll make some pepper soup and that will be sufficient!”

Zhou Ping looked at the two fish. She could not bear to part with them. “It’s such a waste to cook two such big fish. Shall we just cook one of them? It’s just an engagement and not a wedding. There’s no banquet and they won’t be contributing to the expense. How can we just give such nice things to them for free?”

Fang Ling frowned. “Beihan brought these things. It’s not our family who is paying. If we prepare it all, it will reflect well on us. But if we reserve part of it, what will it look like?”

Fang Ling did not feel the pinch. She approved of what Mo Beihan had done.

Mo Beihan had paid for these things, but when they were served it, it would reflect well on the Gu family. Of course, they should do something like that, which would be a credit to their family!

They would take the opportunity to show all those who looked down on the Gu family!

Zhou Ping pursed her lips and kept her counsel.

But her heart ached when she looked at the house filled with meat and vegetables.

It was sufficient to feed them for a year.
