"Uncle, this bag of tea is for you. I have limited abilities, so I can only get some tea leaves. Please don't mind."
"Don't mind, don't mind, this is already good."
Father Ding took it with great joy. Tea leaves are a good thing these days. A cultured man like him likes to drink tea when he has nothing to do.
When I was a professor, I had a high status and was not short of money, so I drank a lot of good tea.
But ever since something unexpected happened at home, even food has become difficult to come by, so how could I have the spare money to buy tea?
He opened the paper package and sniffed it hard. The familiar smell penetrated his nose and almost made him burst into tears. "This is the smell, Xiao Li, you are really thoughtful."
Li Qinghe said quickly, "Uncle, you are too polite. This is a small gift from me. If you finish drinking it in the future, please ask Qiunan to tell me and I will send it to you. I don't have any other skills, but it should be no problem for me to get some supplies."
"Okay, okay, Qinghe, you have great abilities."
Li Qinghe picked up another bottle of vanishing cream, "Auntie, this is for you. It's good for your skin when it's cold."
"I have one too." Ding's mother was surprised and took it quickly.
When the lid was opened, a fragrance filled the air, and the smell made Mother Ding smile even more.
"Look at what you said, how could I forget you? You use it first, and I will get you a better one later."
Ding Qiunan came back with a few pears and pouted, "Qinghe, where are mine?"
Li Qinghe would naturally not forget her, and took out a small box from his pocket, along with a bottle of vanishing cream, "Here, for you, vanishing cream and a lady's watch."
"This... No, no, this is too expensive, I can't take it."
Ding Qiunan waved her hands repeatedly. She was just saying it just now. It would be okay even if he didn't give her anything. Who knew that Li Qinghe would be so bold and directly give her a watch.
Forget about the vanishing cream. Although it is very expensive in her eyes, it is only a few dollars and she can still afford it if she grits her teeth.
But watches are different, they are real luxury goods, costing dozens of dollars, and you also need a watch ticket, which adds up to nearly a hundred dollars. Most people can't afford to buy them.
Father and Mother Ding were also shocked. They didn't expect Li Qinghe to be so generous. He would give them a watch without hesitation. Even with their nature of taking advantage, they didn't dare to accept it. They quickly declined, "Qinghe, this is really too expensive. We can't do this."
"It's okay, uncle and aunt, just let Qiunan wear it. I've already bought the things, I can't return them. Besides, I'm a grown man, I can't wear a lady's watch."
As Li Qinghe spoke, he took out the watch, pulled Ding Qiunan's little hand over and put it on.
"Look, it fits, doesn't it? I bought it especially for you. If you don't want it, it would be a waste of my efforts."
Ding Qiunan no longer had the intention to refuse. She was too shy to bear seeing her lover holding her hand in front of her parents.
When he saw the watch being put on, he immediately jumped up and stood aside with his head down, not knowing where to put his hands.
Seeing their daughter's reaction, the old couple knew that they were together and they were happy and stopped refusing.
Li Qinghe was thick-skinned and looked calm as he began to introduce other things.
"Uncle and aunt, I thought that the food I sent last time has almost been eaten, so I brought you some more food this time.
"This time we have 30 kilograms of refined rice and flour, 10 kilograms of pork and beef, and three white-striped chickens. Don't skimp on them. Eat them when you need them. When you're done, let Qiunan know and I'll bring them back."
Father Ding looked at the things on the table with shining eyes, "Oh, look at this... it's too expensive."
As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva, and the sound was so loud that Ding Qiunan, who was standing beside him, felt embarrassed.
Ding's mother was not in a good condition either. She inadvertently glanced at Ding Qiunan's watch, saw that it was already past eleven o'clock, and stood up immediately.
"Look at my brain. I even forgot to cook. Old man, you chat with Qinghe while we go cook."
"Sorry to trouble you, Auntie." Li Qinghe said politely. He had no intention of leaving anyway.
"Kid, when you come here, you should treat it as your own home. Don't be polite."
Ding Qiunan was extremely shy.
It turns out that before I even opened my mouth, you had already made arrangements and directly recognized this son-in-law.
But she was very happy in her heart, this was exactly what she wanted to see.
Mother Ding started to pack up, but there were too many things, so she called out, "Qiu Nan, come and help me move the things to the kitchen."
Li Qinghe quickly stood up to help, "Auntie, put it down and let me do it. It's a bit heavy."
This was an opportunity to show off, and he would not let it go. He carried several in one hand and finished transporting them in two trips.
Mother Ding looked at him with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, "Okay, now it's our woman's business, you can go and chat with her father."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
When passing by Ding Qiunan, she grabbed her little hand and squeezed it, making her face blush. She looked at Ding's mother guiltily, and when she saw that she didn't see it, she gave her a charming roll of the eyes.
After Li Qinghe left, Ding's mother no longer remained reserved and quickly squatted down to start checking the things on the ground.
"Oh, Mom, what are you doing? You're so anxious."
Ding Qiunan was somewhat dissatisfied with her mother's behavior.
The other person has just come out of the kitchen and you are already so impatient. That's so pathetic of you.
Mother Ding looked at her with amusement, "You kid, I'm just here to see what to do at noon.
"You know what the situation is like at home. We can't have any good things. There's not even a hint of meat. Your dad queued up for over an hour to buy those few pears.
"Look at what they brought with them. It's obvious that they have enough food and drink. If you want to treat them with steamed bread and cabbage, you will be criticized if you tell others about it."
