Volume 1 Chapter 19 Sheng Wanze Returns Home
Sheng Wanyan spent two days of leisure, eating melon seeds or knitting sweaters every day.
She doesn't feel decadent these days. Your life is your own, and it's up to you how you choose to live it.
Sometimes, even if you work very hard, you may not get any benefits, and it may make people jealous.
It’s better to not fight or compete and live a stable life.
Sheng Wanyan saw Wu Jiaxiu going to the bathroom, put down her sweater and followed her out.
"Sister Jiaxiu."
After hearing this, Wu Jiaxiu turned around, thought of something, and immediately pulled Sheng Wanyan to a place with fewer people.
"Wanyan, have you found the fabric?"
"Yes, I went to see my friend yesterday, and she said she had 30 feet of cloth that could be spared for you."
"Really? When can I get it?"
Wu Jiaxiu was a little excited and kept asking her questions while holding her hand.
30 feet of cloth was just enough to make two sets of clothes for the man in the family and a small set of clothes for the unborn nephew.
"I'll get it for you after get off work. Come earlier tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll prepare the amount tonight."
"50 cents a foot, no ticket required."
Shengwan Tobacco does not quote random prices. This is the price from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it is very good not to need a receipt.
Otherwise, it would not be their turn to buy such things for internal consumption.
Cloth was very scarce in that era. Each person was only supplied with six feet of cloth per year, which was enough for an adult to make a piece of clothing.
"Okay, I'll bring it over tomorrow morning."
Sheng Wanyan returned home and entered the space to find a piece of cloth, which was exactly 30 feet long.
The only drawback of this cloth is the color bleeding, there are no other problems.
Sheng Wanyan picked some fruits to eat. She didn't want to eat them alone. The fruits were too eye-catching now. If she took them to other people, Sheng's father would be the first to get suspicious.
For the sake of her own personal safety, she will keep the secret of this space to herself for the rest of her life.
Sheng Wanyan went out early the next morning. There weren't many people there at this time.
I found a corner and when I saw that no one was around, I took out the cloth.
As soon as I walked to the factory gate, I saw Wu Jiaxiu and a tall man waiting.
Sheng Wanyan walked over, and Wu Jiaxiu looked over immediately after hearing the voice.
"Wanyan, you've worked so hard."
"By the way, this is my wife, her last name is Huang."
The two people greeted each other. Wu Jiaxiu's husband was an honest man.
The cloth was given to Wu Jiaxiu, who asked her husband to take it home and then gave the money to Sheng Wanyan.
Sheng Wanyan earned 15 yuan at once, which was almost more than her monthly salary.
"Wanyan, come on, I'll treat you to breakfast at the state-owned restaurant."
"No……"
Wu Jiaxiu didn't give her a chance to refuse and just pulled her away.
It was Sheng Wanyan’s first time to come to a state-owned restaurant, and the menus here were all handwritten that day.
There are only seven or eight tables, all made of wood, including two large tables and five small tables.
Looking very simple, Wu Jiaxiu asked her what she wanted to eat. Sheng Wanyan had arrived, and Wu Jiaxiu's eyes were fixed on her.
The meaning is very clear. If you don't order, she will have to order whatever she wants. Don't blame her if she orders too much.
Sheng Wanyan couldn't refuse the kindness and ordered a bowl of wontons. Only then did Wu Jiaxiu let her go with satisfaction.
"Two bowls of wontons! A total of 1.2 yuan, one pound of food coupons."
The waiter who took the order shouted to the kitchen, then took the money and the bill that Wu Jiaxiu handed over and told them to find a seat wherever they wanted.
Sheng Wanyan and Wu Jiaxiu went to find a seat to sit down. The kitchen staff were very efficient and it was ready in a short while.
“Two bowls of wontons are ready!”
When Wu Jiaxiu and Sheng Wanyan heard this, they hurried over to serve the food. Now no one would serve the food to you when you eat, the service was not that good.
Sheng Wanyan looked at the wontons in the bowl. There were 12 of them, with shredded chicken and egg skin floating on top. The soup base was made from chicken broth.
Sheng Wanyan had to say after seeing this, in this era, everything has a certain weight.
Without cutting corners, the wontons are filled with meat and are very juicy when you take a bite.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they hurried back to work and arrived at the office just in time.
At this moment at the train station, Sheng Wanze was wearing a green military uniform and was estimated to be 1.88 meters tall.
He was carrying a lot of bags in his hands, and next to him was a tall man of similar height and wearing a military uniform, squeezing out of the crowd.
"My grandparents, parents, and sister definitely miss me."
Sheng Wanze said this out of the blue. Gu Tingxiao, who was standing beside him, looked at him without saying anything.
He walked straight past him and walked out with big strides, and Sheng Wanze hurriedly followed.
"Ting Xiao, come to my house for dinner tonight."
Sheng Wanze invited him enthusiastically, but Gu Tingxiao shook his head, thinking that it would be too abrupt to come suddenly.
Moreover, he came to Rongcheng this time with a family mission. His aunt married into the Ning family in Rongcheng when she was young. This time he came because his cousin was getting married, and he came to give gifts on behalf of the elders in his family.
His aunt's family should be waiting for him now, so it's better not to keep the elders waiting.
"Then why don't you come tomorrow? It's not easy for you to come to Rongcheng, why don't you come to my house and stay for a while!"
"Um."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow."
Sheng Wanze gave him his home address and agreed to come for dinner the next day, then they both left in their respective directions.
Sheng Wanze returned to the tube-shaped building with a lot of bags. At this time, everyone was gossiping under the tree.
When they saw him come back, the aunties immediately came up to him and asked him all kinds of questions, asking him if he had a girlfriend and if he came back for a blind date.
"You two played together when you were little, Sanya from Auntie's family. Do you want to be friends?"
"No, I have a partner."
"What? You have a girlfriend? When did it happen?"
I have never heard the Sheng family mention this. Hasn't the Sheng family always been worried about his marriage?
Sheng Wanze answered a few words and hurried home. He missed his grandparents very much.
He strode to the door of his house, straightened his military uniform, and then knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Sheng Wanze heard the voice of his grandfather Sheng. Not to mention that Grandpa Sheng's voice was very loud. It seemed that he was living a pretty good life.
"Grandma, I'm back!"
Sheng Wanze's powerful voice came in. After hearing it, the two old men looked at each other and then hurried to open the door.
"Ozawa! My dear Ozawa!"
Grandma Sheng saw him standing straight at the door, walked up to him, touched his face, and then hugged him and cried.
"You damn child, you didn't reply to so many letters. You scared me to death."
Sheng Wanze patted Grandma Sheng on the back and told her not to be so excited, as to what to do if something bad happened.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Grandpa Sheng looked at him, and was relieved to see that, aside from looking a little haggard, he was safe and sound otherwise.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
"Hurry up and let the child come in. Prepare something to eat for the child. He is exhausted from the car ride."
