Volume 1 Chapter 7 Sheng Family Life

Something must have gone wrong, someone must have whispered something in her ear.

"Yan'er, I have something else to do at home..."

Sheng Wanyan grabbed her arm and said, "Take off your sweater and give it to me."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll have to ask my grandma to ask for it."

Sheng Wanyan was too lazy to say so much to her. People were coming and going at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and everyone was pointing at Sheng Xiuying.

"This girl is taking advantage of others."

"That's right, who is this child? I have to find out more about him, so that my son won't run into him."

"That's right, this is simply a case of ill-intentioned people."

Sheng Wanyan looked at her, and Sheng Xiuying had to take off her sweater and give it to her because of everyone's talk.

After taking them off, Sheng Xiuying was shivering with cold. She was only wearing a patched undershirt and a cotton-padded jacket whose cotton had become stiff and no longer kept her warm.

Sheng Xiuying gave her the thumbs up and turned to leave, but Sheng Wanyan immediately stopped her.

"There's still 10 dollars."

Sheng Wanyan wouldn't let her go. If she left, would I have to take a ox cart for most of the day to go to the village to find her?

"I...I have no money."

Sheng Wanyan laughed when she heard her words. How could she be without money?

"No way. You took 5 dollars from me before. With this 5 dollars, you give me 15."

"Otherwise I will tell everyone where your home is."

Sheng Wanyan directly threatened her that Sheng Xiuying was looking for a partner now, so how could she dare to let her reputation be ruined.

She also plans to find a good partner and escape from the misery at home.

Sheng Xiuying's face turned very dark, and she took out 15 yuan from the inner pocket of her cotton-padded jacket and gave it to her.

"for you!"

This was the money Sheng Xiuying had hidden away for the past 20 years, including the 5 yuan she had borrowed from the original owner.

Now Sheng Wanyan has cheated them all.

Sheng Wanyan made it clear in front of her that from now on they should keep out of each other's way.

"Don't regret asking me for help later!"

Sheng Xiuying left after saying this. Sheng Wanyan would definitely come to her to ask for reconciliation in the future.

She had quarreled with Sheng Wanyan before, and within two days Sheng Wanyan bought things to comfort her.

She wanted to see if there was anyone else who was willing to be friends with Sheng Wanyan besides herself.

Sheng Wanyan took the money and things back and went home. Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng saw the sweater in her hand and looked at each other.

My granddaughter always liked to play with Sheng Xiuying. That child is a thoughtful one.

She often fools her granddaughter, who is kind-hearted and always gives her gifts out of pity.

The family talked about it several times, but Sheng Wanyan didn't listen.

Later, everyone let her suffer the consequences. After suffering so many losses, she would naturally reflect on herself.

But such a sudden awakening was really beyond their expectations.

Sheng Wanyan used the soap nuts at home to wash the sweater thoroughly and hung it on the balcony to dry.

After washing the sweaters, Sheng Wanyan gave the cakes to the two elderly people and let them eat the cakes and rest in the living room.

"Keep it for yourself, we old couple can't chew it."

Grandma Sheng was sewing clothes with a sewing machine, which was the betrothal gift given to Mother Sheng.

When Mother Sheng married Father Sheng, it could be said that it was not simply marrying the man she loved, but more of a way to escape the suffering in her mother's home.

The betrothal gift given by Sheng's father was withheld by Sheng's mother's family. Later, Sheng's mother went directly to her parents' home to make a scene.

I don't know how I got the sewing machine back.

Sheng Wanyan naturally wouldn't believe anything like bad teeth, so she left all the good things the two old people had to them.

Now that he is retired, he does not sit idle at home. He cleans the house, cooks meals and waits for his parents to get off work.

"Nana, I bought this especially for you."

"You guys eat, I'll go cook."

After Sheng Wanyan finished speaking, she put down the pastries and walked towards the kitchen.

She took culinary courses in her later life, and being born into a chaebol family, any survival skills were a necessity.

But now cooking requires lighting a fire, which she had never experienced before. Fortunately, she had the original owner's memory, and she succeeded after trying a few more times.

Sheng Wanyan opened the rice jar. There looked to be about a pound of rice in it, and some cornmeal.

There was a piece of pickled bacon and sausage hanging by the wall, and a bunch of vegetables and a few potatoes in the corner.

Sheng Wanyan went to open the kitchen cabinet, which in normal households would usually be locked.

However, there are only a few of them in the Sheng family, so there is no competition for food.

So the Sheng family never locked the door, and there was a pound of flour and 10 eggs inside.

There is also half a pound of brown sugar and white sugar, and the rest is used to make a small pot of lard.

There is also soy sauce and salt, and the salt is coarse and large in size.

Under the cabinet are the pickled radishes and cabbages made by grandma.

These are perfect to eat in the winter and can be stored properly.

Grandma Sheng’s skill in pickling vegetables is first-rate, and everyone in the family loves them.

In short, there wasn’t much, but for other families, having meat was enough.

Sheng Wanyan thought about it and decided to make corn noodles for everyone so that they would be warmer in the winter.

Sheng Wanyan did what she said. She took out the cornmeal, added water little by little, and kept kneading it into dough. While the dough was resting, she cut a small piece of bacon.

I cooked a meaty soup base with bacon and looked at Grandma Sheng and Grandpa Sheng in the living room.

The two old people were eating pastries, their eyes full of satisfaction.

While they were not paying attention to the kitchen, Sheng Wanyan secretly put two drops of spiritual spring water into the soup base.

After Sheng Wanyan finished refilling her cigarette, she took another look at the living room and made sure that Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng hadn't noticed. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Then add some salt and oil, boil the water for a while, take out the bacon and cut it into slices.

I also blanched a handful of vegetables and divided them equally into five large bowls.

After the noodles have risen, she starts to pull them into thin strips so that the cornmeal won't taste so disgusting.

After the noodles were pulled, they were put into the pot to cook. When Sheng's father and mother returned home, they had dinner.

Sheng Wanyan went to get out two small plates of pickled vegetables, and the whole family felt a little bloated after eating.

"My girl, your cooking skills have improved today."

"You couldn't pull noodles this thin before."

As soon as Father Sheng finished speaking, Grandpa Sheng slapped him on the head and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up."

Even some food can't stop him from eating.

What's the matter?

Do you still want to eat meat every meal and have luxurious meals?

Some people are picky about what they eat, which really makes him beautiful.

Father Sheng didn't dare to speak, as he had the lowest status in the family.

Either his wife would glare at him, or his parents would slap him in the face from time to time.

His son, who has been away from home all year round, will at least receive care and concern from his family when he returns home.

As the hardest working breadwinner for the family, he is often oppressed.

Sheng Wanyan took a look at Sheng's father's frustrated look and felt both distressed and amused.
