“Auntie, that’s not what I meant.” Tan Ron said helplessly, “I’m still a student. The gifts you gave me are too expensive for me. I can’t accept them.”
“Xiao Rou, this is a token of appreciation. Please accept it.” Zhuang Liu advised, “My mother has a few farms under her name. She has also put these farms on your gift list. When the time comes, you can go to the farm to plant whatever herbs you want.”
“That’s right, Xiao Rou. Auntie specially prepared a farm for you to grow herbs. You won’t reject them, right?” Shen Jing said.
Under Zhuang Liu and Shen Jing’s persuasion, Tan Rou finally accepted the gift list. However, she said that she would take it home to show her parents. If her parents said that she could not accept anything, she would return it.
As long as Tan Rou was willing to accept the gift, Shen Jing would be very happy. She treated Tan Rou like her own daughter and wished that Tan Rou could call her mother right now.
“Last time, you told Xiao Liu that the engagement could be brought forward. When do you plan to bring it forward?” Shen Jing asked impatiently.
“School is starting soon. It’s too late to prepare for the engagement now.” Tan Rou said, “Ah Liu and 1 have discussed it. We plan to set the engagement date for the summer vacation. We will have more free time then. Moreover, everyone will be on summer vacation by then. It will be very lively.”
Tan Rou did not like lively scenes, but this was her engagement ceremony. She hoped that many people would come to witness her engagement ceremony with Zhuang Liu.
“Your uncle and 1 think so too.” Shen Jing smiled. “Then it’s settled. Your uncle and I will go prepare the things for the engagement now.”
It was only February. There were still four months before the summer vacation. Tan Rou said, “Isn’t it a little too early to prepare things now?”
Shen Jing said, “I think it’s too late to prepare things now. If 1 knew that you and Xiao Liu would get engaged this summer, 1 would have started preparing last summer.”
Tan Rou started to look forward to the summer vacation. However, before that, she had to finish her winter vacation and go to school for four months.
“Xiao Rou, are you really getting engaged? Why didn’t you wait for me?” Li Li asked Tan Rou as soon as she came back.
“I was planning to get engaged with you.”
“Have you found a boyfriend yet?” Tan Rou asked with a smile.
“Uh…” Li Li avoided her gaze and changed the topic. “Let’s not talk about this profound question. Why don’t we talk about our winter vacation homework? Have you finished your winter vacation homework?”
Tan Rou had finished it a long time ago. It wasn’t a difficult problem. It was just some practical questions assigned by their professor.
Tian Tian had also finished them. The questions were a little difficult for her, but she came back early. When she came back, Tan Rou helped her, and she also finished the questions.
“So, I’m the only one who didn’t finish my homework?” Li Li scratched her hair.
“If 1 knew, I wouldn’t have gone overseas with my parents.”
Tan Rou looked at the time. “You still have two days. I believe you can do it.”
Li Li frantically made up for her homework and finally finished it before school started. When she went to school, she realized that the professor who asked them to do their homework would not teach them any professional courses this semester, so they did not have to hand in their homework.
“I did so much homework for nothing last night.” Li Li leaned on the table helplessly. “If I had the time, I would rather prepare an engagement gift for Xiao Rou.”
“Is Rourou getting married?” Lan Ning asked.
“It’s not marriage,” Li Li replied. “It’s an engagement. The engagement date is this summer vacation.”
Tan Rou invited her. “Lan Ning, don’t be in a hurry to go back this summer vacation. Stay in the capital for a few days first. You can leave after attending my engagement ceremony.”
Lan Ning was very happy. “Rourou, what kind of gift should I prepare for you?”
“You don’t need to prepare any gifts,” Tan Rou said. “I’ll be happy as long as you come to my engagement ceremony.”
“I remember that your embroidery skills are quite good. Why don’t you embroider a marriage contract for Rourou? I think those embroideries are quite popular now,” Li Li suggested.
“Yes!” Lan Ning finally found something she could do for Tan Rou. “I’ll start immediately..”
