He continued to pull things out, saying, "This is a shirt for Dad, and this is a jacket for Mom. Here’s a toy for my nephew." Tang Zhicheng took out item after item until he finally revealed a few spools of thread. "This thread is for mending; I bought a little extra. In winter, Feifei, you can knit yourself a sweater."
"Why did you buy so many things? How much did all this cost? And you only bought for us, not even a couple of things for yourself?" Ye Fangfei felt touched that everything was for their family, but at the same time, she felt a pang of concern for him.
"Ah, I'm a big man; I don’t need much," Tang Zhicheng replied nonchalantly.
Ye Fangfei didn’t know what to say to him, but she secretly had her own thoughts. Tomorrow, she would ask her mother to buy some fabric from the factory so she could make something for him. He cared for her so much and thought of her even when he was out; she should reciprocate in some way.
People are like that; no matter who they interact with, there must be give and take. If only one side gives while the other passively accepts without any acknowledgment, over time, the giving side will grow weary.
Although they had an arranged marriage, Ye Fangfei believed that as long as both of them put their hearts into it—if you care for me, I will care for you—then their life together would surely be fulfilling.
"The weather is too hot right now. I wanted to bring you some snacks from Haicheng but couldn’t manage it. I only brought back some White Rabbit Creamy Candy and some pear syrup candy," Tang Zhicheng said as he opened his backpack and took out several bags.
Since arriving in this era, Ye Fangfei hadn’t had any candy. Now seeing the famous White Rabbit Creamy Candy that was often praised in modern literature, she couldn’t help but want to taste it.
Before Ye Fangfei could reach for it, Tang Zhicheng took out a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candy wrapped in its signature paper and held it up to her mouth. "Feifei, try this; they say Haicheng's White Rabbit Creamy Candy is the most authentic."
As soon as the candy entered her mouth, Ye Fangfei felt a rich milky flavor fill her palate. It truly lived up to its reputation—one piece equaled a cup of milk. She thought to herself that after having tasted so many candies in her past life, none compared to today’s White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
"It’s delicious! The milk flavor is so rich; I’ve never had candy like this before," Ye Fangfei said with the candy still in her mouth.
Seeing how much she enjoyed it, Tang Zhicheng smiled and placed an entire bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy on the table. "There’s still plenty here; once you finish these, I’ll buy you more."
Ye Fangfei felt a bit embarrassed; after all, she had eaten so many things in modern times but found herself shy in front of Tang Zhicheng over just one piece of candy.
"You don’t have to give me everything; I was just saying," she explained awkwardly.
Tang Zhicheng understood that she felt shy about it and didn’t dwell on it further. Instead, he shifted the conversation to something else.
"Are these things all prepared for our wedding?" Tang Zhicheng asked, looking at the basin and other items placed in the corner of the room.
"Yes, I bought all of these in the past few days. The bedding has also been made and is in my room," Ye Fangfei replied.
"You've worked hard. Is there anything else we need? I can go buy it," Tang Zhicheng said, feeling pleased that Ye Fangfei and her family were so invested in their wedding.
When his leader introduced him to a potential partner, he had been excited but also a bit worried. Coming from a rural background, he feared that the girl's family might look down on him.
To his surprise, his blind date was not only beautiful but also well-educated. Her family was understanding and did not show any disdain towards him at all. Moreover, they didn’t make it difficult for him to get the marriage certificate early just to secure a house.
As for the bride price, they didn't demand an exorbitant amount; it was all in line with current customs. This deeply moved Tang Zhicheng.
So, when he went to Haicheng this time, he specifically brought gifts for her family. As the saying goes, "One good turn deserves another." They treated him well, and he felt it was only right to show his sincerity in return.
