Volume 1 Chapter 93 Going to Grandpa Sheng's Family

But now that I’m at this age, I can’t compare myself with others and can only compare with the younger generations in my family.

Unfortunately... none of the children in her family can work in the city.

There was no grandson who became a battalion commander, nor a granddaughter who worked in a cotton mill in the city.

Grandpa Sheng gave her a warning look and told her not to make the relationship so awkward this time.

My brother's family is doing so well now. If I offend them, I won't get any benefit from them.

Don't forget that there are still things that need help. Grandma Shengda saw the look in her husband's eyes and understood what he meant.

I could only smile and pour five cups of sugar water to entertain them warmly.

Grandma Sheng took a sip and said nothing. Grandpa Sheng and Great Grandpa Sheng were chatting. No matter how much the two brothers quarreled, they could not be treated as strangers.

"I heard that your Yan'er is also working in the city. You are really lucky, sister-in-law."

"I have a grandson who is a battalion commander. I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Grandma Sheng smiled when she heard this. It was rare for her sister-in-law to lower her head to praise her, so there must be something wrong.

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. This is all the child's own ability."

"As elders, we just hope not to hold them back."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Grandma Shengda felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. Wasn't this sister-in-law telling her clearly that she would not let her grandchildren help her?

"It's rare for us two brothers to get together today, so we must have a few more drinks."

"Yes, it just so happens that I brought some good wine with me this time, let's have a couple of drinks together."

Grandpa Sheng specially brought some wine from home so that he could drink to his heart's content during this trip back to the countryside.

Sheng Wanyan glanced at Grandpa Sheng. When Grandpa Sheng saw the warning look in his granddaughter's eyes, he immediately stopped talking about drinking.

After all, his granddaughter has been very strict with his diet since he was sick and hospitalized last time.

Grandma Shengda took her four granddaughters-in-law to the kitchen to work, while the children in the family were playing in the yard.

Grandpa Sheng is already a great-grandfather. He has three great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters.

The three great-grandsons were plump and white, wearing new clothes and new cotton-padded jackets.

The eldest great-grandson is 8 years old, the second great-grandson is 5 years old, and the youngest great-grandson is only one year old.

The three great-granddaughters were not treated well. They were wearing clothes discarded by the boys in the family. They were shivering with cold and had to go to the kitchen to help with the work.

"Hurry up, you guys are losing money and still want to be lazy?"

Grandma Shengda was angry and could only vent her anger on her three great-granddaughters.

The three great-granddaughters didn't dare to say a word. They could only immediately start a fire and wash the vegetables, using cold water even in the middle of winter.

The oldest great-granddaughter is 6 years old, the second great-granddaughter is only 4 years old, and the youngest great-granddaughter is 3 years old.

The three great-granddaughters had no color on their faces and their hair had turned yellow due to lack of nutrition.

He is so thin that he looks like he will fall down if the wind blows.

The four granddaughters-in-law didn't dare to say anything. The family had not yet been divided, so they had to listen to Grandma Shengda in everything.

Grandma Shengda has always been so strong. If they speak out to refute her, they might be scolded.

The eldest grandson's wife gave birth to the eldest great-grandson, and she still has a lot of say in the family.

The second grandson's wife gave birth to a boy and a girl, the third grandson's wife gave birth to two girls, and the fourth grandson's wife gave birth to a boy.

The third grandson's wife saw her two daughters working in the cold and ignored them.

She has never been able to give birth to a son, and her life in her husband's family is already very difficult. These two daughters are just a waste of money, and she doesn't even know why she gave birth to them.

If she knew it was a girl, she would definitely strangle her to death.

I won't be unable to hold my head up in my husband's family now, and I won't be pointed at by others when I go out, saying that I am a hen that can't give birth to a boy.

The other three granddaughters-in-law did not say a word. They thought that the money-loser would get married sooner or later, so what if they were scolded a few times?

As long as their precious son is not scolded, it’s fine, because they still have to rely on their son for support in their old age.

Sheng Wanyan could hear Grandma Sheng cursing in the backyard while she was sitting in the living room.

She ignored it. Since other people's parents didn't care, she wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

She sat in the living room with Sheng's mother, listening to everyone chatting and looking around Grandpa Sheng's house.

Grandpa Shengda’s house is quite big, mainly because it has many rooms. After all, the family has not yet split up, and the whole family lives in the same yard.

With such a powerful person like Grandma Sheng around, everyone feels overwhelmed, but there is basically no division of the family in this era.

After all, if the family does not split up, you can still eat until you are 70% full. If the family splits up, you will have nothing and it is good enough to have a full meal in the village.

Grandma Shengda and her four granddaughters-in-law cooked the meal, including a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli, a pot of braised pork and a fish, and the rest were some vegetables and cold dishes.

The staple food is common things like steamed corn bread and sweet potatoes.

For the villagers, having a meat dish is a luxury.

If there wasn't something going on at home that required help from her brother's wife and her family, and if they hadn't brought two kilograms of meat, Grandma Shengda wouldn't have been so reluctant to give it away.

"Mom, there's meat today!"

When the great-grandson of the Sheng family saw this, he immediately ran to the dining table, grabbed a piece of braised pork and ate it without even washing his hands.

When Grandpa Sheng saw this, he scolded them, saying that it was not right for their younger brother and his family to be so unruly when they came today.

"Old man, please take good care of your grandson."

Aunt Sheng quickly took her eldest grandson away, fearing that her father-in-law would be angry.

"Grandma! I want to eat meat! It's all mine!"

"Eat later, and we'll eat together later."

Aunt Sheng quickly covered his mouth to stop him from saying those words that would make her father-in-law angry.

When Grandpa Sheng heard this, his face turned extremely dark. How could his great-grandson have such an idea? ! !

"Dad, the child is still young, and he can speak without restraint."

The eldest grandson's wife of the Sheng family also hurried out to take her son away and keep him away from the dinner table.

But the eldest great-grandson of the Sheng family kept making a fuss, saying that all the meat was his, and that he was the eldest grandson, so all the meat was his.

This is what his grandma always tells him, that everything in the house will be his from now on.

"He's already eight years old!"

"If it happens again, let him work in the fields."

Grandpa Sheng spoke, and the Dafang family nodded in frustration.

Aunt Sheng immediately calmed her eldest grandson down to avoid making a fool of herself.

"The child is ignorant and made a fool of himself by his younger siblings."

Grandma Sheng tried to excuse her great-grandson, but she shook her head. What else could she say?

You didn't educate your family well, and you made such a joke during the New Year. What can she, an outsider, say?

"Let's eat."

At Grandma Sheng's command, everyone sat in their seats, and Sheng Wanyan followed Sheng's father and mother and sat next to Grandma Sheng.

This position is quite convenient for picking up food. Grandma Sheng originally wanted Sheng Wanyan and the daughter in the family to sit at the back where they couldn't pick up any food.
