Su Qing scrutinized the gift. “It shouldnt be expensive, right? It looks like the diamond Big Sister mentioned, but it’s made of plastic. It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Su Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and playfully nudged Su Qing. “Second Sister, your classmate seems like a good person. He’s very humble and polite.”
“What are you talking about?” Su Qing rolled her eyes at Su Xiu. “Don’t talk nonsense. It’s obvious that we’re not from the same world.” She was well aware of her social standing.
“Alright then!” Su Xiu sighed and sounded a bit indignant. “Then why did he come looking for you? Such a good classmate? Were you close to him in school? I heard him say that he was a bit chubbier back then. At that time, everyone despised him, and no one was willing to play with him. Only you befriended him, so he always remembered it in his heart and wanted to repay you.”
Su Qing was shocked. “No way? Why can’t I recall anything about it?”
“Perhaps time has passed.”
That made sense.
“Oh, let me have a look at the gift he gave me.” Su Qing turned around and opened the gift box that Zhou Hengguang had given her. It was an exquisitely designed watch. The steel bracelet was not like the usual thick chain but a thin rose gold.
It was very expensive.
“It’s really nice.” Su Xiu was amazed. “Second Sister, it just so happens that you don’t have a watch. Now that you have one, it’ll be much more convenient to check the time,” Su Xiu praised.
The last time her sister came back from the provincial capital, she bought a lot of things, but she forgot to buy a watch. They were sold in the county town, with both plum blossom and red star brands. Anyone who wore a watch of these two brands would be envied by everyone wherever they went.
If the young man could use a Plum Blossom watch as a betrothal gift, they could guarantee that the girl would be happy to marry him.
The Su sisters could afford a plum blossom watch if they wanted, but they couldn’t bear to.
Su Qing stared at the rose-gold watch and was dumbfounded for a moment. She couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
“I don’t recognize this brand!” Su Xiu looked at the English letters on the watch chain and frowned. “I’ve never heard of this brand. It shouldn’t be expensive. Fortunately, it’s not the Plum Blossom brand. Otherwise, it would be too expensive and hard for me to accept.”
Su Qing came back to her senses and glanced at the letter stamp. She nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Although it’s not a Plum Blossom brand, the watch should not be cheap. You definitely can’t afford it with just a few dozen dollars.” As she spoke, she felt uneasy. How could she accept such a gift for no reason?
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have accepted it.” She didn’t expect Lin Weiguo to give her a watch. “It’s not worth much for him, as he had a simple meal at our house. The local specialities we gave are all common in the countryside. They’re not worth much at all.”
Thinking about it this way, it was too much for them to take advantage of him.
“Then what should we do? It’s not good to send it back to him. He gave it to you. It’s not appropriate to return it. Moreover, this is for women. If you send it back to Lin Weiguo, it won’t be suitable for him to wear it himself.” Su Xiu thought. “Forget it, just keep the watch. At most, you can return the favour in the future. Courtesy should be returned.”
“That’s the only way.” Su Qing thought about it. “Why don’t I give him a men’s backpack? The bag that Big Sister made is not cheap either. It’s comparable to a watch.”
“You can do that.”
Su Qing returned to her room and took out the bags that she had neatly arranged. Most of them were female bags, and there were only a few men’s bags. There were a few styles that her sister had drawn for her husband when she was making the bags..
