Qin An Ning couldn't help but glared at Lu Cheng, "We are husband and wife, so of course I have to discuss matters involving money with you, and this gift is for my family."

Although she had more property than Lu Cheng before marriage and could say that she was spending her own money, she felt that doing so would hurt Lu Cheng's heart.

From the time they met until now, Lu Cheng listened to her in everything and gave all his money to her for safekeeping. She didn't want them to hide anything in this regard and affect their relationship.

Lu Cheng stopped the car, looked at Qin An Ning, and said seriously, "Ning Ning, I really don't care about those things, not to mention that Big Brother is not the kind of person who would take advantage of us.

I know you may think that we all get paid for my second brother's work, but Ningning, our situations are different.

I'm not trying to be mean to my brothers, but my second brother and his friends have always lived in the countryside and have limited horizons. If I give them work without asking for any money, I'm afraid they will develop the idea that they can get something for nothing.

I don't think there's anything wrong with me taking their money if they are able to do so.

If they really have a problem that cannot be solved, I will give them money to help them without hesitation.

It's different here with my eldest brother. His growing environment, education, people he comes into contact with and his vision are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

No matter how much money we give him, he will never take advantage of us, and he may even give us more in return in the future.

Of course, brothers and sisters help each other without expecting anything in return.

Just like you helped my second brother come up with ideas to modify agricultural machinery and helped my third sister change jobs, you were all considering them. What can they give back to you with their abilities?

You helped them without asking for anything!

I have no objection to whatever you decide on financial matters. Besides, you earn two salaries now.

The salary from the research institute plus the salary from the pharmaceutical factory is almost two hundred yuan a month. He doesn't make a penny. How can he, a freeloader, have the right to speak!"

Of course, Lu Cheng's last sentence was a joke, and it did make Qin An Ning laugh happily.

"Okay, I won't talk about it anymore, let's go home."

Lu Cheng helped Qin An Ning open the car door, waited for her to get out and locked the car, then took her hand and returned to their world.

Nothing happened that night. When I woke up the next morning, I found it was snowing outside.

Snowflakes dance lightly, covering the earth with a blanket of snow.

"Lu Cheng, it's snowing!"

There was a bright smile in Qin An Ning's watery eyes, and she was as happy as a little child seeing something she liked.

Lu Cheng glanced at the thin layer of snow on the ground, revealing a helpless expression. "The snow is too thin, there's nothing to do. If you really want to play in the snow, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until you return to your hometown in Northeast China."

Qin An Ning shook her head nonchalantly, "No need to go back to the Northeast. I don't want to do anything else. I just want to go for a walk in the snow."

Like many innocent children, they like to leave their own unique footprints on the pure white snow.

Seeing that there was still time, Lu Cheng asked Qin An Ning to wear something warmer, then took the hat, scarf and gloves and helped her put them on before leading her out.

He did not forget to remind her, "You can only play for a short while, we still have to go pick up Big Brother."

Qin An Ning immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice, indicating that he understood, and responded with "hmmmmmm."

The two did not go far, but played in their own yard. It happened that the snow in the yard had not been trampled yet, like a pure white paper waiting for them to paint.

Qin Anning walked with her feet turned outward, sometimes putting her heels together, and sometimes placing one heel in the middle of the other foot.

In this way, she skillfully changed her footsteps and created tire tracks of various shapes, as if she was creating an interesting snow painting.

She was as happy as a child, with a bright smile on her face.

Lu Cheng played with her, but also had to be careful not to step on her work and damage it.

After playing for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Qin An Ning reluctantly got into the car with Lu Cheng and left.

The Wei family is really lively today. In addition to Wei's father, Wei's mother and Wei An'an, there are also Wei An'an's brother and sister-in-law and her lovely nephews and nieces. The whole family gathered together, and it was so lively.

After introducing each other, they sat down in the living room.

After everyone chatted for a while, Cheng Shuqing saw that the time was right and took the initiative to speak.

"Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei, I'm sorry that no elders came today. You understand my situation, so please don't be offended.

I came here today to discuss with you my engagement with An An.

I recently had a job transfer and it's not very stable at the moment, so I want to get engaged to An An first. When my job is stable and I have enough money to provide An An with a better life, we can officially get married. What do you think, uncle and aunt?

Cheng Shuqing's words sounded sincere. After all, Wei's father knew that his daughter really wanted to marry the man in front of her.

Seeing this, Father Wei didn't make things difficult for him. He just said calmly, "Since you and An An love each other, we have no objection to your engagement."

Cheng Shuqing quickly continued, "As for the betrothal gifts, in addition to the three turns and one ring and thirty-six legs, I'd also like to give you 300 yuan as a gift. Uncle, is that okay with that?"

He had specifically inquired about it before, and found out that in the current Beijing city, such a betrothal amount was considered relatively high, but not excessive.

For someone of their status, being too outstanding is not a good thing.

After hearing this, Wei's father nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, and highly appreciated Cheng Shuqing's thoughtful and appropriate approach.

Afterwards, Cheng Shuqing suggested that the Wei family choose a good day and he would be responsible for booking the table.

Seeing that Cheng Shuqing always put the Wei family first in everything, which was because he valued his daughter, the smile on Wei's father's face became much more sincere.

He did not really make the decision on his own, but discussed it with Cheng Shuqing, and the communication between the two sides was very pleasant.

After finishing the business, the men began to talk about work.

At this time, Qin Anning walked up to greet Wei's mother, "Aunt Wei, I'm going to talk to An An."

When they were discussing marriage just now, Wei Anan had already been driven back into the house by her family.

Mother Wei smiled and replied, "Go ahead, An An is upstairs, you can go up by yourself."

When Wei Anan saw Qin An Ning walk in, a hint of subtle loss flashed across her eyes, but she soon put on a smile again and pulled Qin An Ning into the house.

"What's the matter, An An? Do you think my elder brother is here to see you?" Qin An Ning said jokingly.
