An Tanli couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha, they really do look like us! When we were little, my fourth brother and I were always mistaken for twins whenever we went out!"
Shi Meiling looked at them.
"Second Brother, you still look very much like Tan Xiao!"
An Tanli and An Tanxiao exchanged a glance, looking at each other's faces, the same expressions, both beaming with smiles.
Shi Meiling found the two brothers quite interesting; how could their movements be so similar?
An Tanxiao had a lot to say to An Tanli, but he didn't know where to begin. He first inquired about his second brother's health.
"Second brother, how are you feeling now?"
An Tanli directly revealed the true state of his physical condition.
"The recovery is going well so far; just take your medication on time."
"I can't get better without medication. My body is noticeably weaker than before, and I get tired easily. Otherwise, I'm fine; I don't have any other discomfort."
An Tanxiao was finally relieved to hear An Tanli say that. He was afraid that if his second brother told him that his days were numbered, he would not be able to accept it.
Before An Tanxiao could respond, An Qingbai returned.
An Tanxiao then formally introduced An Qingbai to his second brother.
"Second brother, this is the third brother, Qingbai."
An Qingbai walked straight up to his second uncle and greeted him.
"Second Uncle."
An Tanli responded with an "Mmm" and thanked him.
"Qingbai, your second uncle owes a lot to you. Otherwise, your second uncle would probably have followed in your grandparents' footsteps, and the grass on their graves would be all overgrown by now!"
An Qingbai shook his head.
"Please don't say that. Zhimeng and I are both very happy to be able to help you."
"I originally intended to do good deeds and accumulate merit, and also make some money on the side. Besides, you're my second uncle, so isn't this the same as helping our own family?"
An Tanli understood what he meant and asked him.
"So, you didn't find this ginseng?"
An Qingbai told his second uncle directly.
"Yes, I didn't find it. Zhimeng found it. When we heard it was for the old man in the family, we thought saving lives was more important, so we took it out and traded it!"
An Tanli nodded. It turned out that his future niece-in-law had found the ginseng. He had already had a good impression of Zhuang Zhimeng when they first met at the village entrance, and now he could say that he really liked his future niece-in-law.
An Tanli plans to upgrade the engagement gift for An Qingbai.
He was looking at An Qingbai.
"Qingbai, you're getting engaged in a couple of days. What do you plan to give as betrothal gifts? Show me the list of betrothal gifts!"
An Qingbai didn't think much of it, assuming that his second uncle wanted to see it, so he went back into the house and took out the betrothal gift list.
An Tanli took the form and looked at it.
"You haven't prepared enough, have you? At the very least, you only prepared two of the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a watch, a revolving door, a radio, and a sewing machine)?"
An Qingbai explained.
"Second Uncle, we already have a bicycle and a watch, so we don't need to prepare these two things, right?"
An Tanli was satisfied when he heard that he had enough.
An Tanli then pointed to the furniture and asked An Tanxiao.
"Fourth brother, are you only planning to put 36 legs on this furniture? Isn't that a bit too few?"
An Tanxiao thought for a moment, then patted his head.
"Second brother, I hadn't remembered if you hadn't mentioned it. The third brother is building a new house, and the furniture is indeed a bit lacking. Let's change it to have 72 legs!"
An Tanli took out a pen, added a television to the betrothal gift list, and then returned the list to An Qingbai.
"This TV was a gift from your second uncle. The Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative has just imported a batch of TVs. After I attend your engagement ceremony, I'll have Cheng Zong deliver it to you!"
An Qingbai was delighted to hear that his second uncle was going to give them a television.
"Thank you, Uncle! Zhimeng and I both really want a TV!"
An Tanli waved his hand.
"Since your second uncle has the means, he wanted to give you something nice as a bonus!"
An Qingbai smiled, thinking that Zhizhi would definitely be very happy to see the betrothal gift list.
After returning to his room, An Qingbai carefully copied the betrothal gift list. Looking at the list, he couldn't help but smile, for this was the beginning of his life with Zhizhi.
After carefully checking and finding no problems, I put it away. We'll discuss the bride price and dowry when Grandpa comes again.
Zhuang Zhimeng was pulling Zhuang Zhijun, urging him to leave.
“I told you to go with Brother Qingbai earlier, but you didn’t want to, and you kept dawdling until now!”
"Come on, I'll take you to bed this time! Qinglin is only a year older than you, you two might get along well!"
Zhuang Zhijun then sped up.
"Hehe, sis, I'm shy. It's my first time sleeping at someone else's house!"
Zhuang Zhimeng told Zhuang Zhijun.
"Qingbai's parents are very nice, and there's no one in the family who likes to cause trouble. They are all kind people."
Just treat me normally. You'll stay with me during the day, only going to Qingbai's place to sleep.
Zhuang Zhijun cheered himself up.
"Sis, let's go!"
Zhuang Zhimeng was amused by him and patted his hand.
"Ha, alright, it's just a trip to take a nap, why are you making such a fuss?"
Zhuang Zhijun told Zhuang Zhimeng with a straight face.
"Sis, I'm just encouraging myself to take the first step bravely, otherwise I'm still too shy!"
Zhuang Zhimeng simply stopped and asked Zhuang Zhijun.
"JunJun, why don't you go sleep with Mom and Dad?"
Zhuang Zhijun shook his head violently.
"Fine, fine, I'd rather go with my future brother-in-law. Sis, let's hurry up and go over there. My future brother-in-law must be getting impatient with me not coming any closer!"
Zhuang Zhimeng asked again.
"Are you really sure about this?"
