An Qingbai looked at Zhuang Zhimeng's radiant appearance. He was absolutely smitten with her proud and charming demeanor. He stared at her lips as they opened and closed, completely mesmerized.
Zhuang Zhimeng looked up and her face immediately turned red: "Why are you looking at me?"
"Who can blame me when my Zhizhi is so beautiful!"
An Qingbai looked at her rosy cheeks, like ripe peaches, making one want to take a bite, and that's exactly what he did.
He pulled Zhuang Zhimeng closer by the waist and couldn't help but kiss her alluring red lips.
"Hmm..." Zhuang Zhimeng's eyes widened involuntarily. She couldn't remember what she wanted to say, and only had time to look at the handsome face magnified in front of her.
The next second, she found herself completely absorbed in the moment, closing her eyes and clutching An Qingbai's clothes tightly.
Both of them felt a jolt of electricity rise from their hearts, and it was hard to say who had paralyzed whom.
After the kiss ended, Zhuang Zhimeng's face turned even redder. An Qingbai wasn't much better off; his ears were red to the point of turning purple, and his neck was also red.
"Baby, you're so sweet!"
Zhuang Zhimeng patted his chest: "Don't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit, and don't say anything!"
"Okay, okay! I won't say! I won't say!"
We can't keep teasing him like this. What if he gets really angry and we can't let him kiss us anymore?
Seeing Zhuang Zhimeng's red lips glistening with moisture after his kiss, An Qingbai couldn't resist leaning in and giving her another kiss.
"you…"
"Hehe, I couldn't resist!"
Zhuang Zhimeng felt sweet inside, but she rolled her eyes at him, which An Qingbai thought was more like a coquettish glance.
"Oh, right, I also found something at the scrap yard. I was just waiting for you to come back before I looked at it." As she spoke, Zhuang Zhimeng handed the table leg to An Qingbai.
An Qingbai examined the table legs and saw that there were things inside all four legs, sealed with kraft paper.
Carefully pulling out the parchment, the first item contained eight gold bars. The second was entirely pearls, high-quality pink pearls. The third was entirely diamonds. The last item contained several rings, some with rubies, some with sapphires, and a jadeite thumb ring.
An Qingbai stared intently at the ring, stroking it carefully.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this thumb ring?"
“This is my grandfather’s thumb ring. My grandfather’s name is An Shoushan. He often wore this thumb ring when I was a child, and he even showed it to me.”
"When I was little, my grandfather was very good to me. He taught me to read and write, and I learned hunting skills by finding a master to teach me."
Seeing An Qingbai's nostalgic expression, Zhuang Zhimeng quickly changed the subject: "How do you know this is Grandpa's? After all, these things all look pretty much the same."
"Look at this thumb ring. There's a 'longevity' character on the inside. My great-grandfather carved it especially for my grandfather." He then handed the thumb ring to Zhuang Zhimeng.
Zhuang Zhimeng took it and looked at it; there was indeed a character for "longevity".
"Perhaps this is fate! Let this ring return to your hands."
An Qingbai hugged Zhuang Zhimeng tightly: "Zhizhi, thank you!"
"Let's not talk about this between us!"
"Yes, I know!" He was filled with gratitude towards Zhuang Zhimeng.
…
When it was time to finish work, the team leader notified everyone to go to the threshing ground to distribute the game.
Each person who went hunting received 30 jin of meat, while the others received their share according to their work points. No one objected.
This time they brought back a wild boar, four goats, three roe deer, twenty wild rabbits, and twenty pheasants.
Later, they caught two more roe deer and several pheasants in the trap, totaling 1,000 jin of meat.
An Qingbai carried his share of 30 jin of meat, intending to give some to Zhuang Zhimeng.
“I can’t accept it. Your family hasn’t separated yet. You can’t just think of me. There will be conflicts in the family later.”
Seeing that she really didn't want them, An Qingbai could only take them all back to his own home.
Zhuang Zhimeng didn't have many work points, so she got 2 jin of meat. Su Mengmeng and Jiang Yanxia got more, each getting 3 jin of meat. That adds up to quite a lot, a total of 8 jin!
They were all given mutton, and Zhuang Zhimeng is going to roast mutton today.
An Qingbai didn't go with them; he took the meat home. His family also received meat; they were all allocated 20 jin (10 catties) of meat according to their work points.
When Shi Meiling saw that he had brought back 30 jin of meat, she said to him, "Why did you bring it all back? Didn't you give any to Zhimeng? She doesn't have many work points, does she?"
Just as An Qingbai was about to speak, Wu Pandi heard him and couldn't help but say, "I just saw that Zhuang Zhiqing got 2 jin! That's quite a lot. How much more do you want to eat? We don't even have enough for our family!"
An Qingbai ignored his second sister-in-law and said to Shi Meiling, "Mother, Zhimeng asked me to bring them all back because she was worried that we wouldn't have enough to eat!"
"She's a good child!" Shi Meiling exclaimed.
