Looking at the table full of rice, Zhou Ting'an felt a little guilty and said, "Have you been eating all your food these past few days?"

"I'll definitely give you some food, since you're a patient and now you're my brother. But don't worry, I have plenty of food; you won't be able to finish it all."

Zhou Ting'an naturally didn't believe it. He smiled and thought to himself, "When I get back, I'll mail her some food coupons and money."

The two enjoyed the meal very much, happy to have family in this world.

The next day, He Wan told Lao Yun about how she had recognized Zhou Ting'an as her brother.

Yun Shudai exclaimed, "What brother? My lover?"

"Old Yun, ever since you got together with Mr. Bai, your mind has changed color, and you've been thinking really a lot."

"You two eat and live together all day long, and you're a man and a woman all alone together. Plus, you're so pretty and delicate. How could I not overthink things?"

“We’ve been talking non-stop these past two days, and we’ve been through thick and thin together. He told me about his family situation; he’s a pitiful person too. His father was a soldier who sacrificed his life when he was seven, and his mother had overseas connections but also passed away early. A few years ago, he was looked down upon by some people because of this. Like me, he’s a family member of a martyr and was raised by the organization. He thinks I’m compassionate, and I think he’s responsible and righteous.”

In short, they developed a sense of mutual dependence.

I thought having an older brother in this world would be nice, so I readily agreed.

Is what he said true? Don't be fooled by him.

“I’m an orphan girl, what could he possibly lie to me about? Old Yun, aren’t you happy for me?”

“I’m naturally happy for you that you have a relative over there, but I feel that we still don’t really understand him.”

"People get to know each other gradually, just like you and Mr. Bai, didn't you also go from strangers to acquaintances?"

"You still don't trust my judgment of character? Zhou Ting'an's character is impeccable."

"Since you've decided on him, I'm naturally happy for you. Since this is your first time meeting family, would you like me to help you prepare anything?"

He Wan shook her head: "We already celebrated yesterday. He gave me a fountain pen. Do you think I should give him a gift?"

Yun Shudai frowned and thought for a moment: "What did men like in that era?"

He Wan was also in a dilemma. She had never given a gift to a man before and didn't know what men liked: "If this were modern times, I could give him a watch or a piece of clothing. People here are more simple and honest. A few pounds of grain coupons can make them happy for a month."

"Is it appropriate to send them food coupons? Their team should have some kind of perk, right?"

"bike?"

"He probably doesn't need a bicycle in the team."

"People at this time are still easily satisfied. As long as they have a good job, enough to eat and wear, that's enough. Other things don't seem to be that important."

Yun Shudai glanced at her with a smile and said, "It's not important, but there must be some needs. How about buying a watch, or giving her a belt, or a razor?"

"A belt and a razor aren't suitable, and a watch is too expensive for him to accept. Um... how about you get me a military-grade knife, the kind with lots of different kinds, like nail clippers, ear cleaners, and folding knives?"

"Is that still called a military knife? But the gift you mentioned is also nice. I'll look for one online for you."

"Online delivery is slow, could you go to the supermarket and check for me?"

Helpless, Yun Shudai could only put down the baby in her arms and run to choose a gift for her.

After thinking it over, she went to the antique shop on the second floor of the textile city and actually found a nice multi-functional knife, an old-fashioned military green item.

The shop owner sold it to her for fifty yuan.

Back home, before he could even take Lao He inside, Bai Muyin came over: "Where have you been?"

Yun Shudai no longer needed to hide anything and replied easily, "I went to buy things for Lao He."

Bai Muyin said, "What does she need? I'll help you."

Yun Shudai showed him the multi-functional small knife in her hand, and then told him about Lao He and Zhou Ting'an. Bai Muyin was as surprised as she was.
