Volume 1 Chapter 180 Going on a Mission

"Grandpa, we have to have a good drink today."

Father Pan specially brought two bottles of special wine. Today we are all family, so we have to have a good drink.

"Okay, okay, please take your seats, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Sheng Wanyan filled a bowl of soup for each person. She liked to drink soup before meals, and Gu Tingxiao ate whatever she gave him.

Pan Yue had not reacted to the oily smell yet and was eating happily, which made Grandma Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Pan Yue wouldn't be able to eat because of her pregnancy, but fortunately everything is normal now.

Pan Yue loves to eat spicy and sour cabbage, and almost half of it goes into her stomach.

"Come, let's have a drink together."

Grandpa Sheng raised his glass, and the others raised the glasses in front of them. Sheng Wanyan and Pan Yue raised their bowls of soup.

"Today is a day of reunion. My granddaughter is getting married and my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant. It's a happy occasion in the family. I hope everyone will be smooth sailing in the future and the whole family will be happy and healthy."

Grandpa Sheng said a few words, and he felt happier than ever before this month.

Two happy events in one month, he feels happy just thinking about it.

"Thanks for your good words, grandpa."

Both Mr. and Mrs. Pan were smiling. They all drank a glass and finished the meal happily.

After dinner, Pan Yue wanted to help wash the dishes, but Sheng Wanyan refused and asked them to go back and have a good rest.

You've been running around for so long. Now that you've had your rest, do you want to do any housework?

When Pan's mother saw this, she smiled and went into the kitchen to help. After all, her daughter and sister-in-law were treating their family to dinner, so it would be a big deal if she didn't help.

It doesn't make sense for my daughter, as the sister-in-law, to bring her own family to eat for free, right?

My daughter will have to live in the Sheng family for the rest of her life. Even though this is a small matter, if there is a conflict between the sister-in-law and the aunt in the future, she will have to bring it up.

Anyway, she doesn't believe that people can live their whole lives without conflicts. Even couples quarrel, let alone with others.

"Grandpa, grandma, brother and sister-in-law, you guys go back and rest first."

"Come over tomorrow and we'll talk."

Sheng Wanyan felt sorry for Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng for having been running all the way, and kept urging them to rest.

"Okay, okay."

Before Grandma Sheng left, she gave her the things she brought from home, which were all prepared for her by her family.

It was a whole big package, prepared by the two elderly people and also by Sheng’s father and mother.

"Grandpa and grandma, bring your dirty clothes to me tomorrow and I'll wash them."

Pan Yue is pregnant, and although she has been pregnant for three months, she still has to squat on the ground to wash so many clothes with her big belly. It would be troublesome if something unexpected happened.

"No, wash it for your brother."

When Grandpa Sheng heard her words, he immediately refused.

How can a married daughter still do laundry and work for her parents' family?

Pan Yue can’t wash it, but Sheng Wanze is not useless.

If Sheng Wanze is not even willing to wash clothes for his own grandparents, then what good is this grandson!

Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this, but she was still a little worried, so she and Gu Tingxiao sent the two old people to their doorstep.

"Okay, you two should go back now."

"You've worked hard all day, too."

Grandma Sheng waved her hand and told them to go back and rest.

Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao put down their things and went back home to open the things given to them by their family.

When she opened it, there were three strips of bacon smoked by Sheng's mother, two cans of malted milk bought for her by Sheng's father and grandfather with their private money, and two new skirts and two pairs of cloth shoes made for her by Sheng's grandmother.

Add some two pounds of brown sugar prepared by Sheng's mother and two pickled pheasants.

There were also two letters inside, written to her by Sheng's father and mother.

These things were prepared for her by her family, out of fear that she was not living a good life.

Sheng Wanyan sighed when she saw this. She hadn't even been married for a month and her family was already stealing her tears.

Thinking that Sheng’s father and mother were in Chengdu, he planned to send some food back next time he went to the city.

"Wife, let's go back to Chengdu next time we have a day off."

Gu Tingxiao saw that she was a little unhappy, so he hugged her shoulders and whispered to comfort her.

"real?"

"real."

Sheng Wanyan laughed when she heard this, and Gu Tingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was finally happy.

"Put the bacon and pheasant in the kitchen."

Sheng Wanyan nudged his waist with her elbow, and Gu Tingxiao's throat rolled, his voice full of magnetism.

"good."

Gu Tingxiao stood behind her, leaned forward and reached out to take the thing, his breath falling on the crook of her neck.

Feeling the burning sensation, Sheng Wanyan paused and tilted her body.

Gu Tingxiao laughed when he saw it, a laugh that came from his chest.

"Oh……"

Sheng Wanyan stepped directly on his foot. Her strength was not painful, just like tickling herself.

"Go now!"

Sheng Wanyan glared at him, and Gu Tingxiao immediately became timid and left with his things.

Sheng Wanyan looked at his back as he left, pursed her lips, and despised herself in her heart.

My self-control is too poor. Just one breath from Gu Tingxiao gave me goosebumps.

From now on, she must never be misled by Gu Tingxiao again.

———

The next day, Sheng Wanyan woke up and saw Gu Tingxiao at home, which was rare. After asking, she found out that he was resting today.

"Why didn't you tell me last night that you were taking a day off today?"

Sheng Wanyan questioned him, why did this man not even tell her to take a break, making her feel at ease to sleep in.

"Wife, did you pay attention to me last night?"

Gu Tingxiao's tone was a little aggrieved. Sheng Wanyan, who had sworn not to be seduced by him last night and ignored him, was speechless for a moment.

"cough……"

Sheng Wanyan felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Wife, I have a mission tomorrow."

When Sheng Wanyan heard this, her heart instantly tightened. No wonder he was taking a day off today.

"How long?"

"At least half a month, at most a month."

Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard it, and the two of them looked at each other without saying anything.

The atmosphere was a little depressing. Sheng Wanyan took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

The day she decided to marry Gu Tingxiao, she was ready to become a qualified military wife.

"I'll wait for you at home."

Gu Tingxiao lowered his head and was making a tea table for her. When he heard her words, his hands paused.

"Um."

Gu Tingxiao had a dry throat and looked up at her. The two were speechless, but their eyes were filled with determination and love for each other.

After having breakfast, Sheng Wanyan went out to the mountain. She had to go to the mountain to find some medicinal herbs and come back to make hemostatic medicine.

Although she had already prepared hemostatic medicine in her space, she had to show it to Gu Tingxiao.

Not knowing whether all the medicinal herbs on the mountain were available, Gu Tingxiao put down his work and followed him when he heard that she was going to the mountain.

"Wife, why are you going to the mountain?"

"I want to go and see it."

After hearing this, Gu Tingxiao picked up the backpack and sickle and followed her up the mountain without asking any questions.

However, Sheng Wanyan did not go to the deep mountains. Many medicinal herbs were available outside, but everyone treated them as weeds.

The hemostatic medicine she made was originally made from ordinary herbs, and although she didn’t find all of them, they were enough to serve as a cover for her.
