Volume 1 Chapter 186 Taking Grandpa and Grandma to the City
The next morning, Sheng Wanyan took her grandparents to the city and told them where the supply and marketing cooperative, post office, school, scrap yard, state-owned restaurant, and hospital were.
The two old men took note of it. When they don’t know the way, they will know it after walking around a few more times.
If all else fails, you still have your mouth. Just ask someone and you’ll know.
"Wanyan, is this your grandparents?"
Aunt Xie also went to the city today, and when she saw the two old people she asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm taking grandpa and grandma to the city to get familiar with the roads."
"I'll have to trouble all the sisters-in-law to help take care of me in the future."
When Aunt Xie heard her words, she immediately began to encourage the military wives to help each other.
"Of course, every family has an elderly person. We can help each other if there is any problem."
Aunt Xie, the political commissar's wife, is really amazing. She has a way of maintaining harmony among the military wives.
Anyone who heard this understood the implications.
"Grandma, this is Political Commissar Xie's wife. She lives next door to me."
"Uncle, aunt, you can just call me Xiaolin."
Aunt Xie’s real name is Lin Dani. After she married Political Commissar Xie, as she got older, everyone started calling her Aunt Xie.
"Okay, okay, hello Xiaolin, I'll have to trouble you to take care of your aunt and uncle in the future."
"Take these two candies and give them to your children at home to sweeten their mouths."
Grandma Sheng enthusiastically started chatting with Aunt Xie and put two candies in her hands.
"Don't be so polite, Auntie. It's only natural for us to help each other."
"Captain Sheng is on a mission outside. As military wives, we cannot let the soldiers who are fighting hard to defend their country down."
Aunt Xie glanced at the other military wives in the car intentionally or unintentionally when she said this.
"Yes, yes, Aunt Xie is right."
Everyone was chatting animatedly along the way. At the end, Sheng Wanyan jumped out of the car and helped the two old people down.
"My dear sisters-in-law, please gather here at three o'clock today as usual."
The soldier from the purchasing department got off the car and gave a few instructions loudly, and then the wives of the soldiers dispersed and went to buy things.
Sheng Wanyan took Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng for a walk, and finally went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of meat and ten pounds of coarse grains.
Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng also bought a lot, this is to prepare for the winter.
Grandma Sheng also brought three pounds of meat, twenty pounds of coarse grains, three pounds of flour, twenty eggs, and two pounds of brown sugar and white sugar.
She also bought some dark blue cloth and three pounds of cotton. She was going to start making clothes for her great-grandson.
My great-grandson was born in January, which was very cold at that time, so he couldn't let him get cold.
"That's enough, let's go back."
Grandma Sheng thought about it and decided there was nothing to buy. She would come and buy some every week, which would be enough for the family to eat during the winter.
Sheng Wanyan also bought some cloth and wool, and used the cloth to make a vest and pajamas for Gu Tingxiao.
The wool was used to knit scarves and gloves for Gu Tingxiao. Last year, she had just knitted a sweater and trousers for Gu Tingxiao.
She had checked and found that Gu Tingxiao's sweater was still new and warm, so she didn't need to knit one this year.
This year I'll just knit a scarf, gloves and a few pairs of warm socks, and also knit some for my grandparents.
After deciding there was nothing else to buy, they headed back home.
After returning home and sorting out her things, Sheng Wanyan took Maodou into the space to play.
Maodou was a little scared when he saw the new environment and looked around nervously.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Sheng Wanyan stroked its back to calm Maodou's nervousness. Maodou stayed in her arms for a while before adapting to the new environment.
Sheng Wanyan took it to the spiritual spring water and filled it with two drops for it to drink.
The moment Maodou drank the spiritual spring water, his eyes lit up and he immediately wanted to jump into the water.
Sheng Wanyan quickly grabbed its neck and prevented it from going down.
"No, you can't bear it."
It is definitely not good to over-nourish at once. Not to mention dogs, even humans will have problems if they over-nourish.
"Woo~"
“Woof woof woof…”
Sheng Wanyan still shook her head, and Maodou saw that she still disagreed, so he had to give up the idea.
The whole dog tilted its head and made some "woooo" sounds in grievance.
Sheng Wanyan carried it into the house, read a book beside it, and let it play on the ground.
Maodou failed to succeed, and was afraid that she would not bring him next time, so he lay obediently at her feet.
Sheng Wanyan's life went on in an orderly manner. Every day she either went out fishing or rode her bicycle to the city to bring back things.
Sheng Wanyan went to send the pension money to Gu's father and mother. It was agreed at the beginning that when the family was divided, each of them would be given 20 yuan in support and 10 kilograms of fine grain every month.
She sent out 10 kilograms of rice, 20 yuan in alimony, and a letter to Gu's mother.
After thinking about it, I decided to send two more cans of malted milk and three strips of bacon back. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were living with Brother Gu's family, and Brother Gu and his wife were both sensible people.
Moreover, she and Gu Tingxiao could not be by their father and mother's side to fulfill their filial duties, so they had to show their filial piety from time to time.
She sent 100 yuan and 20 kilograms of food coupons back to Sheng's parents. These were the food coupons issued by the state this month, and each person was given 30 kilograms of food coupons per month.
Afraid that Mr. and Mrs. Sheng would not dare to spend the money, I specifically wrote about my translation in the letter so that they could use it with peace of mind.
I asked them to prepare more things they would need for the winter and sent them 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of brown sugar.
When she and Sheng Wanze got married, all the family savings were emptied. Although Sheng's father and mother had jobs, they were reluctant to spend money on her.
This was her own money. She did not use Gu Tingxiao's money to subsidize her parents' family. Besides, she didn't want to be filial to her parents and have to look at other people's faces.
You can say that she is partial or that she doesn't value her husband's family, but in her heart her biological parents are irreplaceable.
They have given so much for me, I can't let them down.
As for the Gu family, the standards of the eldest brother Gu and the fourth brother Gu are the same as those of her and Gu Tingxiao.
Gu Tingxiao has an older brother, sister-in-law and older sister, and younger brothers and sisters, so it is definitely not her turn to be the first to stand out.
After sending the things, Sheng Wanyan rode her bicycle back. Before returning to the army, she took out a backpack from the space and brought the food back home.
A week has passed and I don’t know how long it will take for Gu Tingxiao to come back.
As soon as she came back, Maodou was always around her. Maodou had been eating well during this period and had grown a lot.
Sheng Wanyan knew that it was hungry, so she took out a bowl of lean meat porridge from the space and poured it into its bowl.
"Edamame, come and eat."
Maodou took a bite and found it not as tasty as dog food, so he got angry and refused to eat, pulling her leg.
Sheng Wanyan doesn't spoil it. If it develops the habit of eating dog food, how will it survive when Gu Tingxiao is at home?
Are you just waiting to starve to death?
Even though it is a pet, it still needs to be trained from a young age to prevent it from developing bad habits.
“This is the only food today.”
Sheng Wanyan did not show any mercy. Maodou saw that she was serious and could only reluctantly walk back with his short legs to eat.
