Volume 1 Chapter 108 New Sewing Machine

"Come if you want, bring something with you!"

Grandma Sheng looked at her disapprovingly. Gu Tong had become familiar with the two elderly people and spoke directly to them.

"Aunt, I want to stay for dinner today."

"Besides, we'll be a family from now on, so what's wrong with me buying some things?"

When Grandma Sheng heard this, she smiled and did not refuse, so she took the meat.

"Yes, yes, I'll make braised pork for you today."

"Okay, I like the braised pork made by my aunt."

Gu Tingxiao really didn't expect to see his aunt in the Sheng family, and when did his aunt have such a good relationship with the Sheng family?

Gu Tong looked at his nephew who was squatting beside and repairing the sewing machine for Grandma Sheng.

I was so surprised to see him working so hard and never complaining.

This nephew doesn’t like to do much work at home and he won’t even take the initiative to cook.

It turns out that in order to get married, even the laziest man can become diligent.

Gu Tingxiao installed the casing of the sewing machine. When Grandma Sheng saw it, she handed him a glass of water.

“Grandma Sheng, many parts inside are broken.”

"I'll go find my old comrade tomorrow and get you a new one."

This sewing machine was given as a betrothal gift to Sheng's mother 26 years ago. It has been used for more than 20 years. It is very good that it has lasted until now.

"This sewing machine is more than 20 years old. It's time to replace it."

"You don't have to bother your comrades. It's not nice to owe favors to others. I'll ask your uncle to buy a new one when the time comes."

"It's okay, we are all comrades."

Grandma Sheng still refused. It is the hardest to repay favors. The family is not without money, so why should she let her future grandson-in-law trouble others?

"Aunt Sheng, I have a sewing ticket. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

It is not so easy to get a sewing ticket nowadays. She is in the military district’s family compound and can exchange it with others.

Let Gu Tingxiao help the Sheng family replace the sewing machine tomorrow.

Grandma Sheng nodded when she heard this. As expected, there were no more sewing tickets at home, so she had to trouble Gu Tong.

Grandma Sheng took out 50 yuan and gave it to Gu Tong, but Gu Tong quickly refused. She wanted to give her nephew a chance to perform, so what was the point of accepting money?

"No, no, it's just a receipt."

How could Gu Tong dare to accept it, but Grandma Sheng was very firm in this regard. It was not easy to get a ticket for sewing a plane.

Although they are going to marry into the Gu family, it doesn't mean that they are the weaker party and can take advantage.

"Take it, or I won't dare to ask for your receipt!"

Gu Tong had no choice but to take it. Gu Tingxiao saw it all but didn't say anything.

Gu Tingxiao looked at the time. Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng also knew that he was going to pick up Sheng Wanyan after get off work, so they waved their hands and let him go.

When Sheng Wanyan returned home, the family, Gu Tingxiao and Gu Tong had dinner together. Only then did Gu Tong take Gu Tingxiao away.

"You little bastard, go to the guesthouse and get your luggage and come home with me!"

"No, auntie, I'll just stay in the guesthouse."

Gu Tingxiao really didn't want to disturb him any more. The main reason was that his cousin had just gotten married not long ago, and if he went to stay there often, he would see him every day, so there would always be some inconveniences.

"Why? Don't you like your aunt's family?"

"Aunt, my parents will be here in a few days, so it's more convenient to stay at the guesthouse."

After hearing this, Gu Tong agreed to let him continue to stay in the guesthouse. After all, there was only one empty room left in his house. There was no reason for Gu Tingxiao, as a son, not to accompany his parents at that time, right?

"Okay, then come back for dinner the day after tomorrow."

"good."

Gu Tingxiao nodded in agreement. After all, it would be unreasonable not to visit him since he had come to Chengdu.

The next day, Gu Tingxiao had someone move a new sewing machine to the Sheng family, and he didn't charge Grandma Sheng a penny, which made Grandma Sheng very angry.

"No, take it back to me!"

"Grandma Sheng, this is for Yan'er."

Gu Tingxiao had already thought of an excuse, and it was impossible for him to accept the money.

"How can you just give away something this valuable? Tell someone to move it back right away."

How could Grandma Sheng not understand what Gu Tingxiao meant? He just wanted to give it to her for her own use.

"Grandma Sheng, please ask Yan'er. This is a gift from me to her."

Gu Tingxiao gave the decision-making power to Sheng Wanyan, and Sheng Wanyan immediately expressed her need when she heard it.

She understood Gu Tingxiao's intentions, and when the time comes, she will just send him some more things to make up for it.

"Grandma, save it to make new clothes for me!"

"Besides, I've already bought them. It's not good to return them. They are all Ting Xiao's old comrades."

"Others have to make money too...Don't ruin the relationship between comrades."

Grandma Sheng agreed after hearing what her granddaughter said, but she always felt that she owed Gu Tingxiao.

"Grandma, when I get married, I will find a way to give my mother-in-law a watch."

"Don't feel any psychological pressure."

Sheng Wanyan said these two sentences in her ear, and Grandma Sheng felt relieved.

"Okay, let's inquire about watch tickets during this time."

"Grandma, I have the watch ticket."

When Grandma Sheng heard this, she looked at her in surprise. This watch ticket is more difficult to get than the sewing machine ticket. Where did her granddaughter get it?

"Where are you from?"

"Last time a colleague wanted to sell it, so I bought it."

She didn't dare tell Grandma Sheng that it was Gu Tingxiao who gave it to her before, because Grandma Sheng would definitely disagree if she heard it.

Besides, I have a lot of watches in my space, so I can just find one with good material and exquisiteness to give to my future mother-in-law.

Anyway, she will not let the Sheng family be inferior to the Gu family in terms of material and money.

"Then ask your mother to give you the money for the watch."

"No, I still have money to use. My brother and sister-in-law send me a few dollars of pocket money every month."

Grandma Sheng stopped worrying after hearing this. She felt relieved to hear that her grandson and his wife had this little sister in their hearts.

This bill can be regarded as being bought with money from her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and she can mention it to her granddaughter-in-law when the time comes.

Don't let your granddaughter-in-law have any objection to your grandson sending money to his sister.

It can also make the granddaughter-in-law feel comfortable, but be sure not to cause conflicts between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law.

Grandma Sheng had everything planned out in her mind. She had seen a lot of things like this in her life. Some things just require a sense of balance and someone needs to mediate.

Grandma Sheng was reluctant to throw away the old sewing machine, and in the end it was bought by Gu Tingxiao’s old comrade-in-arms for 5 yuan.

When Grandma Sheng heard that it could be sold for money, she would definitely be willing! It's better than throwing it into the scrap yard or leaving it at home as waste.

"Xiao Gu, stay for dinner. Grandma will cook meat for you."

Grandma Sheng held Gu Tingxiao's hand, and Gu Tingxiao nodded and helped her sit down.

"Grandma, I'll cook."

Sheng Wanyan hasn't cooked for a while, and Gu Tingxiao happened to be here today, so she can try her cooking skills.

By the way, add some spiritual spring water to help Gu Tingxiao regulate his body. Soldiers always have some chronic illnesses.

"I'll help you."
