Volume 1 Chapter 22 Mother Sheng's good intentions
"Every time I come back, you can see that the house is clean and tidy. It didn't become clean out of nowhere.
The health of the elders in the family doesn’t always get better on their own when they get sick. There is always someone silently paying for it.
The meat we ate today was bought by her own money. Sometimes your sister also subsidized the family and took care of your grandparents and the two of us for so many years. Her filial piety is no less than the salary you have sent her over the years. ”
"Mom, I know everything. It's not easy for my sister either."
Sheng Wanze was so panicked. He felt as if his mother wanted to attack him.
"So you don't have to wonder why your father and I don't favor our son. You should also make it clear with your future daughter-in-law.
From now on, your sister should keep 10 yuan of her salary every month and hand over the rest.
When she gets married, she will keep half of it at home, just like you did, and the other half will be added to her dowry later. ”
Mother Sheng said a lot of things, laying out the family affairs clearly and clearly, so that neither of the two children suffered any loss.
Although she knew in her heart that her son was the foundation of the family, she was worried that his son would not be able to distinguish right from wrong.
What kind of a thing is this? She is too ashamed to face her ancestors!
"Mom, there's nothing wrong with what you said."
Sheng Wanze wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that his mother was even more eloquent this time.
"Yan'er, do you have any opinion?"
Mother Sheng looked at Sheng Wanyan, and Sheng Wanyan shook her head without any objection. This arrangement was fair.
Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Sheng were not as rigid as other parents of that era when it came to money.
To put it bluntly, we are not as patriarchal as other families.
There are still some deep-rooted ideas among the family members, but it seems that Sheng's father and mother want a grandson more. Can Sheng Wanze provide the raw materials? ?
Sheng Wanyan could also understand it. After all, the Sheng family only had one son, Sheng Wanze, and Sheng Wanze was a soldier.
Every time he went to the army, his family would worry about him. Naturally, they hoped that Sheng Wanze would get married and have more sons so that the family would not be extinct.
It's sad to say that nowadays families with few sons will be looked down upon.
And they always say it's a woman's problem...
After the family finished their meal, Sheng Wanze immediately showed off himself and took the job of washing dishes from Sheng Wanyan.
"Little sister, let me do it, thank you for your hard work."
Sheng Wanyan looked at Sheng Wanze with a confused look on her face. This guy was really inexplicable.
Sheng Wanze now has a little admiration for Sheng Wanyan. She takes care of the family so well by herself. He feels guilty as her brother.
After washing the dishes, Sheng Wanze opened the bags he had brought back.
He brought back five cans of fruit, five bottles of malted milk, three packs of White Rabbit milk candies, two packs of mung bean cakes, and a radio.
Sheng Wanze gave the radio to his grandparents so that they could listen to it at home to pass the time.
"Why do you buy such expensive things?"
Grandma Sheng felt sorry for the money, but she felt warm in her heart.
"Grandma, if you and I are bored, just listen to the radio at home. It's not expensive."
Grandma Sheng glared at him. How could she not know how much this thing cost?
I don’t know how many connections this kid used to buy this thing. It’s really infuriating.
Grandpa Sheng happily held the radio and tried to figure out how to turn it on. Sheng Wanze patiently taught him.
This thing is quite simple to use once you get the hang of it. There are two left and right buttons on each side, one for the power switch and the other for the volume.
Grandpa Sheng learned quickly and the sound came from the radio when he turned on it.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, and little sister, share these foods among you. They will help you replenish your nutrition."
"OK."
Mother Sheng then happily divided all the things equally, and the more valuable items were kept in the room.
After all, there are people coming to visit from time to time, and if someone sees us, they might say something.
Sheng's mother directly gave Sheng Wanyan a pack of White Rabbit milk candies so that she could sweeten her mouth.
The remaining money is just enough for Sheng Wanze's comrades to visit tomorrow, and his relatives to visit in two days, so they can be used to entertain the guests.
"Mom, this is my salary and receipts from last month, keep them."
Sheng Wanze's salary last month was 80 yuan. When Sheng's mother saw the extra 25 yuan, she knew that he must have been on a mission some time ago.
She felt worried and helpless about his profession. She was really afraid that Sheng Wanze would get hurt during the mission.
"By the way, Xiaoze, my family is planning to buy two bicycles, and your father has managed to get a bicycle ticket. Do you have any way to exchange with your comrades and get another bicycle ticket?"
Sheng Wanze nodded after hearing this. He remembered that Gu Tingxiao seemed to often help his comrades get these rare bills, so he could ask him about it tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll ask."
The family chatted for a while, looked at the time and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Sheng Wanyan brought some White Rabbit milk candies to work the next day. It was a relaxing way to knit a sweater with some candies to sweeten her mouth.
Niu Fangli saw her eating the Big White Rabbit Candy and thought of her children at home so she asked about it.
"Wanyan, where did you buy this candy? Can you bring some for me?"
"Sister Fangli, my brother brought this back for me."
Niu Fangli nodded after hearing this, looked at everyone else who was doing their own things, and discussed with her in a low voice.
"Can you give me some? Several children in my family have never eaten it."
Niu Fangli didn't need to finish the rest of the words, Sheng Wanyan understood that business was coming.
Sheng Wanyan nodded, and the two people's small transaction began.
"I'll bring you 20 tomorrow."
Niu Fangli looked at her with gratitude. This White Rabbit milk candy can only be bought in Kyoto. She was already very happy that Sheng Wanyan was willing to share some with her.
Sheng Wanyan had been eating salted fish all day, and on his way home he thought about the guests coming today, as most of the meat at home had been eaten yesterday.
Sheng Wanze's girlfriend and family will be coming over in a couple of days, so we must treat them well.
Before going home, Sheng Wanyan took 5 kilograms of fatty pork and a fish weighing about 2 kilograms.
Sheng Wanze went to pick up Gu Tingxiao, and the two of them went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Sheng Wanze saw clearly what was in the house today, and he would definitely buy some food to take back.
Gu Tingxiao bought two cans of malted milk and a large piece of pork and went to someone else's house for dinner. He felt bad about going empty-handed.
Every household is short of food now, and he, a grown man, has to eat a lot.
The etiquette must be in place, otherwise if the old man at home knew about it, he would definitely come to Chengdu directly with his crutches.
Sheng Wanze went to the state-owned restaurant and packed two meat dishes. He also brought back three bottles of wine this time, enough for them to drink today.
Sheng Wanyan returned home first. When Sheng's mother saw the things she brought back, she felt more confident.
