Volume 1 Chapter 202 A Large Amount of Manuscript Fee

Before Sheng Wanyan responded, Mao Dou, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but respond to Gu Tingxiao's question.

Gu Tingxiao looked at it with a dark face. Maodou shrank his body and pulled Sheng Wanyan's leg.

There was a hint of "I want to eat" in its eyes, and it also wanted to try the French fries.

But fried food is not suitable for its age group, so it can only watch.

"Be good, I'll make you something else later."

Sheng Wanyan touched its back. When Maodou heard that there was something else to eat, he immediately started to circle around her feet excitedly.

"Wife, when it grows up a little bit, I will take it to the army for training."

Sheng Wanyan nodded when she heard this. When Maodou grows up, he will be quite large in size and will easily scare others, so it would be better to train him.

"good."

The two of them enjoyed a leisurely afternoon. Gu Tingxiao went to collect firewood and asked her to stay at home and play with Maodou.

Sheng Wanyan, who was being coaxed like a child, waved at his back as he walked further and further away.

She didn't really want to go out, so she went back to the pavilion and lay on the lounge chair to enjoy herself.

She got a cushion for the recliner, which was very comfortable to sit on, with breeze blowing from time to time.

Sheng Wanyan narrowed her eyes and couldn't help falling asleep here.

Maodou saw that she fell asleep, so he lay motionless at her feet to accompany her.

When Gu Tingxiao came back, he saw her sleeping soundly with an obedient look on her face.

Gu Tingxiao covered her with a thin coat and did not disturb her since he saw that she was sleeping comfortably.

I sat aside and watched her, occasionally tidying up her hair that was messed up by the wind.

“Boom boom boom…”

After a while, Gu Tingxiao heard a knock on the door, and hurried to open the door for fear of waking up Sheng Wanyan.

The little soldier was holding a package in his hand, which looked quite sturdy.

But when he saw Gu Tingxiao's bad expression, he was instantly frightened.

"Captain, Captain... there is a package for my sister-in-law."

The young soldier stuttered a little, fearing that Gu Tingxiao would kick him, and he was ready to run away.

"Well, that's troublesome."

Gu Tingxiao took it and closed the door without saying anything.

The young soldier patted his chest and wondered why the commander had a better temper today and didn't beat him?

The young soldier couldn't understand why he felt so uneasy if the commander didn't beat him.

The young soldier couldn't find the reason, so he had to go back to the dormitory.

When Gu Tingxiao returns to the army and his training is doubled, he will understand why Gu Tingxiao doesn't beat him now.

Gu Tingxiao is a person who likes to take revenge on personal grudges!

———

It was already past five o'clock when Sheng Wanyan woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her watch.

I actually slept for two hours, and I don’t usually sleep so deeply.

I've been too tired during this period and my body can't take it anymore.

Sheng Wanyan stretched and stood up. Gu Tingxiao was already in the kitchen cooking dinner.

Gu Tingxiao made a tofu and crucian carp soup today. She had caught a lot of fish some time ago and kept them in a big basin.

I killed a few to eat for Gu Tingxiao to replenish his body. There are still more than a dozen in the pot.

"Wife, there is a package for you, sent from Kyoto."

"I put it in your room."

Sheng Wanyan nodded after hearing this and went to the room to open the package.

As expected, it was the royalties and translated books sent by Kyoto Newspaper. This time, she found that Kyoto Newspaper sent her five thick and complicated books on firearms.

The meaning of this action was very clear, that is, he hoped that she could help translate more information, which was urgently needed by the country's firearms research personnel.

Sheng Wanyan opened the royalties and found that she had translated three books last time.

All three books are thicker than the previous ones, with a total of 2,500 yuan. The amount this time is relatively large, so it is not convenient to mail it.

The Kyoto newspaper gave her a withdrawal slip, and she could just go to a bank in the city to withdraw the money.

Sheng Wanyan saw this and decided to go shopping with the army’s car tomorrow and withdraw the money at the same time.

Sheng Wanyan put the withdrawal slip into the drawer. Gu Tingxiao cooked the meal, brought it to the table and called her.

"Wife, eat first."

Sheng Wanyan walked out, and while the two of them were having dinner, she expressed that she was going to the city the next day and would take Grandma Sheng with her to send a telegram.

"Wife, I'll go with you."

"good."

Sheng Wanyan also thought it would be better for Gu Tingxiao to accompany her. After all, she had to go to the bank to withdraw money, and she would feel at ease with him around.

"By the way, we need to fix our chicken coop, otherwise the chickens won't be able to resist the cold when it snows."

"It's better to build a shed."

"Okay, I'll do it."

———

The next day, Sheng Wanyan and Gu Tingxiao took Grandma Sheng to the city. Grandma Sheng sent a telegram and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

Sheng Wanyan also bought 10 kilograms of fine grains and took out the money and put it into her own passbook.

Gu Tingxiao's monthly salary was enough for them, and he also sent back some allowance for Gu's father and mother and ten kilograms of fine grains for next month.

It was agreed at the beginning that each family would give Gu's father and mother 20 yuan in pension and 10 kilograms of fine grain every month.

It was all written in black and white, so she would naturally not default on the payment. After all, Gu Tingxiao had the responsibility to support his parents.

She sends it out in advance every month, or sends two months at a time.

I will never delay payment, so as to avoid giving others something to complain about.

After Sheng Wanyan finished her business, she and Gu Tingxiao took Grandma Sheng back to the drop-off point to gather.

It was already past four in the afternoon when I returned to the military area, and I got home just in time to cook dinner.

Sheng Wanyan's life gradually got back on track. She seldom went out and usually stayed at home translating books or taking care of the vegetable garden.

But only her family knew how comfortable her life was. Every afternoon she would read leisurely in the pavilion with a cup of malted milk and cut fruits beside her.

Gu Tingxiao's hand recovered after half a month, so he just needed to avoid intensive training.

We built the chicken coop at home and surrounded it with bamboo so that the chickens will not be buried even if it snows.

The chickens are surrounded with bamboo nets to prevent them from freezing to death.

After finishing all the housework, Gu Tingxiao returned to the army. He had been at home for a month and was almost moldy.

When Gu Tingxiao went to work, Sheng Wanyan was relieved. She hadn't entered the space for a month, for fear that Gu Tingxiao would discover something.

Now I can finally go in and get some fresh air, and bring the edamame in for a while.

Sheng Wanyan closed the door and took Maodou into the space. As soon as Maodou entered, he ran towards the spiritual spring water.

But this time it understood that it was not good to drink too much spiritual spring water at once, and it was also afraid that Sheng Wanyan would be angry and not bring it here again.

After taking a small sip, it went to find Sheng Wanyan, and followed Sheng Wanyan wherever she went.

Sheng Wanyan took a basket to the orchard and picked some cherries and grapes to eat.

By the way, she picked a basket of peach and plum blossoms, which she could use to make wine and put in the cellar to ferment slowly.

Since Gu Tingxiao went to work, he had plenty of time to bring things home.

A few days later, Gu Tingxiao noticed a smell of alcohol in the cellar of his house.

When I went in, I saw more than twenty cans of wine. Although it was only a few days old, it had already tasted good.
