Gu Mingjing took out the bracelet and held it carefully in his hand. He held Jianshu's hand and slowly put the clear jade bracelet on her delicate and smooth wrist.
Then he looked up at her and said, "Since I gave it to you, it's yours. Besides, if my mother were still alive, she would make the same choice today."
Whenever he was naughty as a child, he would often hear his mother mutter about wanting a daughter. As a result, he had a lot of black history of wearing skirts.
This period lasted for several years from birth until he was five years old, when the situation began to change.
Because Jane's aunt gave birth to a little sister.
From then on, his mother lost interest in her own son, whom she had grown tired of playing with, and spent every day thinking about how to dress up her little sister and what kind of hairstyle to tie for her.
Although he was young at the time, he still remembered his mother's love for the little girl even after so many years.
After all, if a little kid suddenly comes and "steals" his mother's love, the child will still "hold a grudge".
After Gu Mingjing and Gu Zhan said this, Jianshu felt completely relieved.
It was not the right time in the afternoon, and she had never worn the bracelet before.
Now that he had it on, Jian Shu raised his wrist and examined it carefully, "The size is quite suitable."
The ring opening is quite suitable. It is not too big to slip down when worn, nor too small to be tight. It seems that there is no need to keep it in the bottom of the box.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Jian Shu raised his wrist in front of Gu Mingjing.
"It looks good and suits you very well." Gu Mingjing said sincerely.
Jianshu's wrists are fair and well-proportioned, not unhealthily thin, and are very suitable for wearing various accessories.
"I think so too." After receiving the praise, Jianshu happily withdrew his hand and raised his wrist to admire it.
Seeing that Jianshu liked it very much, Gu Mingjing was happy and also thinking about collecting more jade bracelets.
After admiring it for a while, Jianshu carefully took off the bracelet and put it back into the box.
It’s not time to wear these things yet, so I can only wait a few more years.
He picked up the opened red envelope beside him, took out the big unity inside, sat cross-legged on the sofa, rubbed his hands, and began to count the money.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
Gu Mingjing leaned against the back of the sofa, supporting his head with one hand and playing with a teacup in the other, watching Jianshu's actions with a smile.
It seems that he has discovered a new hobby in books.
Do you like opening red envelopes?
"Fifty, fifty-one, fifty-two, fifty-three...sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-five, sixty-six!"
After counting the thick stack of big unity bills, there were sixty-six of them, totaling six hundred and sixty yuan. Adding six one-yuan banknotes, the total was six hundred and sixty-six yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money in that era.
Even if Jianshu doesn't eat or drink, he can't save this amount of money with his annual salary.
"Wow, that's a lot—" Jianshu exclaimed.
Is that really that generous? The meeting gift is only 666 yuan, which is more than enough for the betrothal gift.
"Why did Uncle Gu give so much?" This was a bit too much. Jianshu felt guilty accepting it.
When he came to the house, he not only took a valuable bracelet that had been passed down from generation to generation, but also took a large sum of cash. If you didn't know, you would think he was being robbed.
Gu Mingjing didn't care at all, "Don't worry, the old man has a lot of money, just accept it if he gives it to you, don't be embarrassed."
"You are such a rude person." Jian Shu rolled his eyes at him.
"We are all family, there is no need to be polite. If he gives you something next time, just accept it. It would be a waste not to accept it. He is willing to give it to you only when he is satisfied with you. As for me, let alone giving me money, it would be considered polite if he didn't kick me twice when he saw me." Gu Mingjing said confidently.
This is also the truth. The old man is very stingy. Since he went to college, he has not taken a penny out of his pocket.
Bottom line: Want money? Earn it yourself!
Jian Shu raised his eyebrows proudly, "That's how likable I am!"
"Yes, yes, the old man is very satisfied with you." Gu Mingjing nodded repeatedly.
The money had already been received, and Jianshu didn't dwell on it any more. If the elders were willing to give, refusing would only hurt feelings. He could just show more filial piety in the future.
She flung the stack of money in front of Gu Mingjing and boasted, "I don't know how to spend such a large sum of money. It's such a headache!"
Gu Mingjing was both amused and annoyed, and couldn't help laughing: "You are the eldest in our family, and the financial power is all yours. You can spend it however you want, and everything is up to you."
"Boss?" Jian Shu curled his lips. "I don't want to be the boss. You should be the boss."
It's too tiring to be the boss, so she'd better be the younger brother.
"From now on, you'll be the boss in our family. You'll be the one to handle all the big things, and as your younger brother, I'll help you with the little chores. How's that? Isn't that nice of you?"
Gu Mingjing was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "What kind of thing is a big deal?"
Why did he feel that being a younger brother instead of a boss was a trap? Gu Mingjing, who had been tricked by Jianshu many times, was inexplicably alert.
"What kind of thing is a big deal? This is a small matter, you don't need to worry about it." Jian Shu replied confidently.
The meaning of the words was a bit confusing, but Gu Mingjing understood it immediately and soon fell silent.
…
So I make the decisions on big things and you make the decisions on small things, but you get to decide what is big and what is small.
So is the boss still the boss, and the younger brother still the younger brother?
Gu Mingjing: “…”
"So, what's the point of this boss?"
