Volume 1 Chapter 121 Preparing to Go to Kyoto

Everyone has always thought that Sheng Wanyan's parents are workers, but no one really knows what her brother does or what position he holds.

Sheng Wanyan never shows off, bullies others, or uses her family members as capital to abuse her power.

I didn't expect that he had such a powerful background. His brother is the battalion commander and his sister-in-law is also from Kyoto.

Comrade Niu Fangli is still worried that others will not live well after marrying into the family. But even if Comrade Sheng Wanyan really does not live well after marrying into the family, her brother and sister-in-law will not stand idly by.

At worst, if he really can't make it in Kyoto anymore, he will return to Chengdu to take over his parents' job and become a glorious worker.

Comrade Sheng Wanyan has always had a good way out, but Comrade Niu Fangli has always been unknown what she is comparing.

Can this be compared?

People! It’s better to have some self-awareness, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.

After Sheng Wanyan had the quarrel with Niu Fangli, Niu Fangli stopped being sarcastic for the next half month.

Instead, he tried to please her, but Sheng Wanyan rejected them all. The relationship had already become so awkward, and he had no plans to continue associating with her.

Such people are very opportunistic. If you are useful to her, she will flatter you. If you are useless, she will step on you at any time.

I came here to work, not to play house with her.

Niu Fangli thought about it for a long time after she returned. Sheng Wanyan married such a good woman, and maybe she could get her son into the army and make him a minor official in the future.

That's why I have been trying to curry favor with her, saying nice things to her and giving her gifts all this time.

But Sheng Wanyan didn't appreciate it at all and was very fussy about it.

I just said a few words, why are you so stingy!

On the last day of the month, Sheng Wanyan left Wu Jiaxiu an address of a military district.

In the future, if she has anything or needs anything, ask her to write to me and I will definitely help if I can.

Wu Jiaxiu also knew what this meant. This year, she had to let her husband visit the Sheng family more often and help with any rough work.

I have to help the Sheng family prepare all the coal briquettes before the New Year so that Sheng Wanyan can feel more at ease in the army.

Sheng Wanyan officially resigned from the cotton mill, and the finance department paid her salary on the same day.

She did not take any leave for the entire month, so her salary was easily settled. When she handed over her work, the Finance Department directly settled her salary.

Sheng Wanyan officially changed from a glorious worker to a virgin girl waiting to get married.

That day, Sheng Wanyan gave all her salary to her mother, and her mother gave her 10 yuan as usual.

That night, Sheng's mother took out all the household belongings and started to show her dowry in front of the whole family.

"1,500 yuan was originally agreed to be your dowry. It's not open to the public. You should keep it safe. This is your way out. There's also the 500 yuan you earned from selling your work. The total is 2,000 yuan, all in this passbook."

Mother Sheng pushed the passbook she had prepared in front of her. This was the maximum they, as parents, could give.

"As for your salary, just do as your brother did when he got married. Keep half at home and take the other half with you.

It just so happens that you have handed over a year's salary, 10 yuan a month, a total of 120 yuan a year, half of which is 60 yuan. ”

There is also the 666 dowry that I agreed with my in-laws, totaling 726 yuan, all here. ”

Sheng's mother counted out 726 in cash and gave it to her, and also gave her some national grain coupons, sugar coupons, and cloth coupons that the family had accumulated.

"You haven't divided the family property since you got married. Your mother-in-law is also a reasonable person. I heard from her last time that the dowries of your other two sisters-in-law were all taken by themselves and not handed over."

"You don't have to hand it over after you get married. You can use the money for self-defense. If you can find a job there, it would be best to buy it."

Mother Sheng was really reluctant to let her daughter go. Her daughter had never left her side since she was a child. Now she was suddenly going to get married, and she felt really upset.

"Mom, I don't want the money from work, you keep it for yourself."

"What are you talking about? I made it clear at the beginning. This job is yours if I give it to you."

"You don't have to worry about your brother and sister-in-law's opinion. The things they sent to your brother over the years are more than 500 yuan!"

"As for your ginseng slice, if I really care about it, your brother and sister-in-law will probably have to give it to you."

Speaking of ginseng slices, Sheng's mother hurriedly took out a dozen slices from home.

"There are sixteen pieces left at home. You can take ten away and leave the remaining six at home."

"No, I don't want this. This is for you to replenish your body. If anything happens to your grandparents at home, at least there is something to save their lives."

Sheng Wanyan planted a lot of medicinal herbs in the space. She finally had an excuse to bring some good things back home. How could she possibly take them away?

"My son-in-law is also a soldier. How come you are so stupid and can't adapt?"

"Mom, we are still young, and we have a military hospital. The Gu family is also of high status. We can buy ginseng slices by using our connections."

"Maybe I can find another ginseng in the mountains in the future. Anyway, this is my gift to you as a gift. If you let me take it away, I won't ask for the betrothal gift."

Sheng Wanyan knew her mother's temper. If she refused to listen to any persuasion, she would just give in.

"You poor little kid..."

Mother Sheng was really mad at her. She really didn't know who this girl looked like. Why was she so stubborn?

"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you."

Sheng's mother really couldn't beat her, so in the end she put the ginseng slices back.

Mother Sheng prepared a new box for her, and put in it the five new dresses that Grandma Sheng had made for her and two new pairs of cloth shoes that Mother Sheng had bought.

There were also two new sets of sweaters and trousers for her winter, and two cotton-padded jackets.

This box is specially used to hold her dowry. Every household will prepare one for every girl who is getting married.

"We are leaving for Kyoto in three days. Your father and I have already asked for leave. We will buy some gifts for your in-laws in the next few days and bring them to them."

"How about going to the countryside to collect some mountain products? You can't buy these in Kyoto."

Father Sheng thinks mountain products are good. Walnuts and other mountain products are very nutritious and cannot be bought in Kyoto.

"Okay, go collect some of them these few days."

"We'll collect some prey if there is any, and then go buy some nutritional supplements. Melon seeds and cakes are the best."

Grandpa Sheng made the decision, and Sheng's father and mother immediately went to the village to find people to collect the prey the next day.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng have lived in Chengdu for half their lives, so they still have some connections.

It is not really a difficult task to secretly collect some prey, after all, for the people in the village.

Anything that can be sold for money to exchange for tickets is a good thing, and I would never bear to eat it myself.

The Sheng family has been very busy these days. Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng are not idle either, and they go to the supply and marketing cooperative every day.
