Gu Changqing was already very happy. "Well, will you accept the watch?"
"No." Bai Ruozhen's eyes sparkled, "You can give it to me when you come to my house to propose marriage."
"Ah?" Gu Changqing was stunned. "Isn't that different?"
Bai Ruozhen shook his head. "It's different. You have to use the watch to let my parents know that you can give me a good life so they can rest assured."
Because of this, Gu Changqing took a few steps closer to her and said, "It's okay, I have money now, and I'm going to work at a transportation company soon, and I will get a salary every month." Seeing that there was no one around, he took two steps closer and whispered, "Besides, I have the ability to make money on my own, so I don't lack money to spend."
Bai Ruozhen was a little nervous because of his proximity, "You can't ask for that now."
Gu Changqing was unhappy, "Why?"
Bai Ruozhen didn't dare look at him, "We're not even engaged. It would be terrible if people knew about this. They'd probably say I'm shameless."
"Let's see who dares to say that." Gu Changqing had a stubborn temper and wanted Bai Ruozhen to accept the watch. "This is my birthday gift for you. It doesn't count towards the future marriage proposal."
Bai Ruozhen said, "It's too expensive." Seeing that Gu Changqing looked unhappy, he hurriedly said, "Actually, I really liked the clothes and shoes you bought me last time. You can give me clothes or fabrics."
"Ah?" Gu Changqing was stunned. He didn't expect that his partner was so easy to satisfy.
"Then why aren't you wearing any clothes?" He looked down and saw that the sandals on Bai Ruozhen's feet were indeed the pair he bought, but the clothes were not.
Bai Ruozhen said embarrassedly, "I couldn't bear to wear it."
Gu Changqing felt a little regretful, "Oh."
Bai Ruozhen then added, "I plan to wear it tomorrow."
Gu Changqing suddenly became happy again, "Okay. Then the watch..."
"Give me the watch when you go to propose marriage." Bai Ruozhen said.
Gu Changqing couldn't persuade her, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
When they arrived at Gu Changlan's place, the two sisters were preparing dinner for dinner.
Bai Ruozhen took a look at the dishes. There were shrimps, vegetables, and two pig's trotters. He didn't know how Gu Changlan got them.
"Sister Changlan, how about I cook a meal for you?" Bai Ruozhen looked at the two pig's trotters with envy, feeling deeply that Gu Changlan's cooking skills were not enough to make delicious pig's trotters.
Gu Changlan was surprised, "You can cook?" She thought Bai Ruozhen knew nothing.
Bai Ruozhen nodded embarrassedly, "Yes."
Gu Xiaoli added with a smile, "My sister Zhenzhen cooks the best. Sister Zhenzhen, I'll help you."
Bai Ruozhen nodded excitedly, then went to see Gu Changlan expectantly.
Gu Changlan seemed a little unconvinced and glanced at Gu Changqing. However, Gu Changqing had only heard of it in legends but had never actually tasted it, so he was also looking forward to it.
"Okay, you do it and we'll help you." Gu Xiaoli was eager to try.
Bai Ruozhen nodded with a smile, and the two of them worked in perfect tacit understanding. One of them started the fire and prepared to cook, while the other prepared according to her requirements.
This is the public kitchen, with many people coming and going. Some people saw Bai Ruozhen and the others and asked who they were. Gu Changlan introduced them with a smile, "My future sister-in-law."
Everyone around was smiling and saying nice things, but they were actually muttering in their hearts that he was asking someone who hadn't even entered the house to cook.
But after a while no one gossiped anymore because the fragrance coming in from outside was so sweet.
A greedy child ran out and asked, "Sister Changlan, what delicious food do you make at home?"
To be honest, Gu Changlan was also amazed by Bai Ruozhen's cooking skills. They were obviously made with the simplest ingredients, but the food was so fragrant. Gu Changlan said proudly, "Pig's trotters, if you want to eat them, go buy them for your mother."
Bai Ruozhen was already used to being praised by others and cooked very naturally.
Gu Changlan used a gas stove. She lit another stove and put the pot on it. She put the cleaned shrimps on a plate, sprinkled them with chopped green onions and ginger, and a little salt, then put them on the grate and turned on the fire.
"Can it be delicious like this?" Gu Changlan was very skeptical. Seeing Bai Ruozhen was stunned, she hurriedly explained, "I've steamed it before, but it wasn't very tasty."
Bai Ruozhen smiled, "It will be delicious."
After a while, the shrimps were steamed and Bai Ruozhen fried some vegetables, which were also delicious.
Gu Changlan was convinced now and praised, "It looks very appetizing."
When it was time to get off work, many people who were cooking looked over when they smelled the fragrance. They also understood why a person who had not yet married was cooking. It smelled so good.
Gu Changlan had no intention of sharing food with everyone. Food was expensive these days, and she could only have a good meal because she had a salary and a good family background. It was not easy for anyone, so how could she care about others?
The four of them brought the dishes back to the house and placed them on the small table. Gu Xiaoli looked at the food and swallowed her saliva, "It smells so good."
Gu Changlan sat down and handed her chopsticks, "I have to try it too."
As a result, all four of them were full. Bai Ruozhen also missed her cooking skills. Although she often cooked at the educated youth camp, the camp was poor after all, and there were very few opportunities to eat meat. This was the first time she had eaten pig's trotters in so long. It was so delicious.
Gu Changlan touched her belly and looked at Gu Changqing enviously, "I really envy you."
Gu Changqing also touched his belly and said proudly, "Huh."
His partner cooks such delicious food. He needs to earn a lot of money in the future and buy lots of delicious food so that they can both get fat together.
However, washing vegetables and making fire are rough jobs. It seems that he will have to wash vegetables in the future. Making fire is not so difficult, so he can buy a gas stove.
Well, that's it.
