Volume 1 Chapter 117 Zhang Fei Ben Fei

"Thank you very much, mother-in-law."

"We are one family and we don't have different opinions."

As for the selling price, neither party mentioned it. Both parties are reasonable people and know the price.

Sure enough, Gu Tong came to the house the next day and asked Sheng's mother about this matter.

"Then my family paid 500 yuan for it."

Gu Tong was very grateful to the Sheng family for thinking of him, otherwise he would have been worried to death.

"We don't need that much. We only bought 300 yuan and 50 kilograms of fine grains."

"Of course we do. We don't give you food, but the money is worth it. Just agree to it. Otherwise, I don't want this job anymore."

Gu Tong was also very stubborn. He said no and that was it. Mother Sheng had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then on the last day of May, I will hand over the work to Yan'er Factory."

"good."

The thing that had been worrying Gu Tong was finally solved, and he felt completely relaxed.

After all, her eldest daughter-in-law has a job, and she found that job herself.

But her younger daughter-in-law has been married for half a year, and she still hasn't found a suitable one for her.

This caused the younger daughter-in-law to stay at home all the time, and she was also afraid that she would feel that her mother-in-law was biased.

Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been a problem since ancient times. If you are not careful, you will be resented. She had already realized this when she was someone else's daughter-in-law.

Gu Tong went home and told his daughter-in-law about this, and she immediately became excited when she heard it.

"Mom, is this true?"

"Yes, on the last day of May, you go and hand over your work to Yan'er."

"Speaking of which, Yan'er will be your cousin in the future. You two are of similar age, so you can interact more often."

"Tomorrow I will take the money to the Sheng family. You come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two pounds of meat and cakes to send together so that we can get to know each other better."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, mom."

Gu Tong's daughter-in-law also knew that thanks to the Sheng family, if Sheng Wanyan had not been getting married, this job would not have been her turn.

Gu's father and mother returned to Kyoto the next day. There were still a lot of things to do in Kyoto. Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of Kyoto, Gu's father could not leave for too long.

Gu Tingxiao's vacation was over and he had to return to the army. Sheng Wanyan sent him to the station. Gu Tingxiao looked back every few steps before leaving.

As soon as the Gu family left, the Sheng family returned to their previous peaceful life, and as soon as the Gu family returned home, they began to prepare for the wedding in June.

Gu Family:

"You're back? How's it going?"

In a western-style house in the military compound, in the living room, there was a man wearing a Zhongshan suit. He looked very dignified and had a big white beard.

If Sheng Wanyan were here, she would definitely say that this is not the real Zhang Fei, right?

When Mr. Gu heard his father's loud voice, he immediately answered his question.

"The wedding date has been set. It's June 16th."

Grandpa Gu nodded when he heard this. Now his grandson is the only one who hasn't started a family, so it's good for him to settle down now.

"How is the Sheng family?"

"Dad, it's better than we thought. The staff is simple, the family is harmonious, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are sensible people."

As soon as Mother Gu came back, she began to praise the Sheng family. She had visited her in-laws so many times and got along with the Sheng family, which made her feel comfortable, as if she was at home.

"What about my future third grandson's wife? How is she?"

"Dad, I'm telling you, this is terrible!"

"The third son's future daughter-in-law is so outstanding. She has only been working for half a year and has been valued by the factory and is now in charge of the publicity department. She is also as beautiful as a fairy."

"Mom and Dad, let me tell you, I have never seen such a charming young man. His every move is better than the young ladies in our circle."

Mother Gu said a lot and praised Sheng Wanyan highly. It was the first time that Grandpa Gu saw Mother Gu like someone so much.

"Oh? Really?"

Grandma Gu brought out a few cups of tea from the kitchen, sat down and began to ask in detail about their trip to Chengdu.

"Mom, can I still lie to you?"

"Although Yan'er is a city dweller, her manners are just right and her conversation is elegant. I don't think the young women in the circle can compare to her."

"Is he a refined man?"

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu immediately perked up when they heard this. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were both soldiers when they were young, and they were both rough people. They would like to have more intellectuals in their home.

Especially when it comes to the wives that their sons and grandsons marry, they all hope that they will marry intellectuals and intelligent people.

If Father Gu had not married Mother Gu, an intellectual, Uncle Gu would also have married an intellectual.

If we only rely on the Gu family’s genes, I wonder how many illiterate people will be born!

So in the eyes of Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, they like her granddaughter-in-law who is an intellectual.

"Yes, I work in the Propaganda Department."

"Good, good, good, elegant people, intellectuals are good."

Grandma Gu was so happy when she heard that. Didn’t this just touch her heart?

"When the third child gets married, I have to go out and buy things and decorate the wedding room."

"You should also prepare the banquet items, and don't forget to send the invitations."

"There are also new pillows, new quilts, and new cabinets. Everything is in accordance with the standards used for the other two children's weddings."

"Mom, I know."

Grandma Gu explained everything to Mother Gu and immediately went to get her wallet to buy things in a hurry.

She was so excited that she took small steps and left home.

As a grandmother, she was even more excited when her grandson got married, as if she was getting married herself.

"Buy me two bottles of wine!"

Grandpa Gu shouted at her back, but Grandma Gu ignored him.

"Old woman!"

"Get lost!"

"I want wine!!!"

When Grandpa Gu saw that she refused to buy it, he immediately ran out in panic and shouted so loudly that the house shook!

"Stop howling! I'm going to kill you soon."

Grandma Gu got in the car and quickly asked the guard to drive away, leaving Grandpa Gu alone with the back of the car.

"Hey! This old woman is really annoying."

Grandpa Gu returned home in a huff. His parents put their things away and went to rest, leaving Grandpa Gu alone in the living room sulking.

"Why are you all running away?"

Grandpa Gu sat down on the stool in a bad mood. Everyone kept coming to annoy him. It was really infuriating.

This son is hiding away from his wife, which is really infuriating.

Chengdu:

Sheng Wanyan went to mail out the translated books early in the morning. She had been idle at home during the New Year month, so now she had to start making money.

"Here is your letter."

Sheng Wanyan hadn't been here last month, but her royalties were still at the post office, and the staff there had become familiar with her.

She comes often to buy stamps and sends packages every month.

The staff at the post office have never seen anyone who likes to send things so much every month.

And there are piles and piles of them.

"Thanks."

Sheng Wanyan took the royalties, rode her bicycle to work, and continued her life of taking advantage of the situation.

"Evening smoke."

Sheng Wanyan was riding her bicycle home from work when she heard Wu Jiaxiu calling her, so she stopped and waited for her.

Wu Jiaxiu hurried over, and Sheng Wanyan saw that she seemed hesitant to say something, so she asked her to get in the car.

Ps: I have something to do at home today, so I will only update one chapter~
