Volume 1 Chapter 115 Sheng Wanyan's Workplace
"We will arrange accommodation. How about we go to Kyoto, visit Tiananmen Square, and climb the Great Wall?"
"That's great, we haven't been there yet."
Mother Sheng was very much looking forward to it, and even Grandpa and Grandma Sheng were looking forward to it, as they had lived to such old ages but had never been to the country's capital.
Going to Kyoto, climbing the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City...that is the lifelong dream of many people!
"Then we have it settled. My family will be looking forward to your visit when the time comes."
"Okay, okay."
The two families had discussed everything, and it was hard for Sheng Wanyan to imagine that she had suddenly become Gu Tingxiao's fiancée, and that they were going to get married in four months.
Sheng Wanyan always felt that she was deceived by Gu Tingxiao. Wasn’t it agreed at the beginning that they would just get engaged first?
How come the wedding date has been chosen? ? ?
Didn't anyone ask her opinion?
Gu Tingxiao knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression. He immediately grabbed her hand under the table and looked at her nervously.
He admitted that he had resorted to some tricks in order to get married as soon as possible.
He wanted to marry the girl home as soon as possible and keep her by his side all the time.
This way, no one can take advantage of the girl when she isn't paying attention.
Sheng Wanyan glared at him. She would definitely settle this account with Gu Tingxiao later.
Gu Tingxiao felt her gaze and rubbed his nose, knowing in his heart that he had made the girl unhappy this time.
He promised that this would only happen once in his life and it would never happen again!
Gu Tingxiao gently squeezed her hand as a plea for mercy, and poured tea and water for a long time before Sheng Wanyan let him go.
However, Sheng Wanyan still looked peaceful, so Gu Tingxiao couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad, and he was not sure whether the girl had really calmed down.
Sheng Wanyan did it on purpose. She couldn't let Gu Tingxiao think that she was easy to please and would do the same thing again next time.
If they continue to act without authorization after getting married, their marriage will sooner or later run into problems.
Gu Tingxiao must be made to feel the seriousness of the matter and have a bottom line in his heart.
She didn't want Gu Tingxiao to make decisions on his own without consulting her in the future.
Gu Tingxiao was feeling very nervous. This little girl's temper really caught him off guard.
I could only continue to pick food for the little girl, pick out the fish bones, pour water, and try my best to coax the little girl.
"Thank you for the hospitality today."
"We're going to have a meal at the state-owned restaurant tomorrow. Ting Xiao will come to pick up the two old people. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Yan'er will go there directly after work."
Mr. and Mrs. Gu can still stay in Chengdu for one more day, so they can treat their in-laws to a meal tomorrow and cultivate the relationship between the two families.
"Okay, okay, then we'll go to the state-owned restaurant after get off work tomorrow."
Mother Sheng didn't act pretentiously and agreed. She hadn't talked enough with Mother Gu yet, and if it wasn't for the fact that it was getting late, she wouldn't have been willing to let anyone leave so soon.
Gu's father, mother and Gu Tong didn't bother him any more. When Gu Tingxiao left, he glanced at Sheng Wanyan, but Sheng Wanyan didn't even look at him.
He must be left alone for a night and asked to go back and think carefully about where he went wrong.
Sheng Wanyan ignored him, but Gu Tingxiao didn't know that he couldn't sleep the whole night. After he figured it out, he wanted to come find the girl, but when he looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
I could only wait until the next morning to apologize to the girl.
———
After the Sheng family sent their in-laws away, they went home to prepare a meal. When they saw the gifts brought by the Gu family, Sheng's mother almost popped her eyes out.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu bought a lot of things, and many of them were expensive items from overseas Chinese stores.
"This relative gave too much, this..."
The Sheng family looked at the gifts on the table, which included a pen that Gu's mother bought from the Overseas Chinese Store, three packs of cigarettes, five bottles of wine, five packs of White Rabbit milk candies, three cans of malted milk, and two cans of milk powder for the elderly.
These are not the main scary things. The most scary thing is the three bottles of wine that Sheng's mother took out from another bag.
When Grandpa Sheng saw the three bottles of wine, he immediately hugged them in his arms and refused to let go. These were the military region’s wines, special supplies!
This is for the leaders to drink. When Grandpa Sheng was fighting in the war, his leaders invited them to drink several times.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family gave it directly to them. How could Grandpa Sheng not be interested in it?
He has been thinking about this for a long time.
He couldn't help but recall some memories of the war, so he went back to his room with the wine and hid there.
"This in-law is really generous. This also proves that the Gu family values our Yan'er."
"My future in-laws are also sensible people. As long as Yan'er lives a stable life after marrying him, it will be fine."
Grandma Sheng didn't say much at the dinner, but she was observing the Gu family's actions and words.
Gu's father is a cheerful and rough person who doesn't care about his daughter-in-law's affairs, while Gu's mother is sensible, broad-minded and wise.
As long as Yan'er gets married and doesn't do anything to let down the Gu family, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be good.
"yes."
Sheng's mother was also glad for her daughter that she had found a sensible mother-in-law.
Having a sensible mother-in-law is so much better than having an ordinary husband!
"Mom, when Yan'er gets married, she will definitely go with the army."
“How do you handle this job?”
Mother Sheng thinks it would be best to sell this job, but she needs to think carefully about who to sell it to.
The Sheng family and her parents' family definitely cannot sell it. If they sell it to them, they will feel like ungrateful people for taking money from her parents' family.
They spent 300 yuan to buy their daughter's job, and there was so much fine grain.
Grandma Sheng thought about it and finally came up with the best candidate. The family was not short of money, but they were short of jobs.
"You can ask Gu Tong if her family wants it."
"Gu Tong?"
Sheng's mother didn't understand. Gu Tong's family all worked in state-owned enterprises, so why did he want this job?
"I heard her talk about family matters last time. Her daughter-in-law doesn't have a job and doesn't want to use her in-laws' connections for fear of leaving someone to use as a weapon."
"I'm just taking care of the elderly at home, cooking and so on. It seems that with a high school diploma, I should be able to do this job."
"That's great. I'll ask Gu Tong tomorrow."
Sheng's mother also felt that selling it to Gu Tong would be the best idea. Gu Tong and the Ning family had helped a lot when their grandfather was sick.
She had heard from Gu Tong that the Ning family, including her husband's family, were all soldiers, so her daughter-in-law must be a good person too.
"Write a letter to Xiaoze tomorrow, keep an eye out for civilian jobs around the army, and buy one for Yan'er."
Mother Sheng patted her head. She almost forgot about this. There was no reason for her daughter to cook and do housework at home every day after she got married, right?
It is definitely better to have your own job!
It won’t work in the army, but there must be some supply and marketing cooperatives, factories or something like that around there.
