An Ning handed the rectangular box to An Guoming. He had a guess as to what it was, and for a moment, he didn't dare to take it.
"For… me?"
"Yes. Second Brother, you'll be going out to do business sooner or later. You'll need this."
An Guoming's palm opened and closed. He even wiped it twice on his clothes to get rid of the sweat.
He finally took the box and opened it with a sigh of relief, his eyes filled with a goofy, adoring smile.
"A… watch! A watch! Mom, look, a watch!"
An Guoming held up the watch box with both hands for everyone to see. It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but that he wanted everyone to help him confirm that he really, truly owned a watch.
"Hurry up and put it on. Don't be so giddy you drop it."
Lin Cuihua was no less nervous than An Guoming as she urged him to put it on.
An Guoming nodded repeatedly. He finally put the watch on his wrist, and for a moment, he didn't even know how to hold his arm.
"How am I supposed to hold my arm?"
