Volume 1 Chapter 24 Mother Sheng's Little Thoughts
It was that face, so cold.
Moreover, relying on her wisdom, Mother Sheng tactfully found out everything about Gu Tingxiao's family.
Sheng Wanze also understood what his mother was trying to do. This mother was really thoughtful.
But you have to say, Gu Tingxiao is really a good choice to be my brother-in-law.
Don't be fooled by his gloomy face, his character and abilities are really great.
Gu Tingxiao is only 26 years old and has already been appointed as deputy regiment commander at such a young age. If it weren't for his age, he should have been promoted to regiment commander long ago with his military achievements over the years.
This guy has the ability and the education. As a comrade-in-arms, I know him best.
Usually in the military area, those people from the art troupe wanted to get close to him and develop a relationship with him, but his cold face was enough to scare people to death.
Out of politeness, Gu Tingxiao answered all the questions he could. Sheng's mother also knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any questions that she shouldn't have.
Grandpa Sheng took Gu Tingxiao aside to chat about family matters for a while. Although Gu Tingxiao didn't say much, he responded to every word he said.
“This fish is delicious.”
Gu Tingxiao said something out of the blue, and after hearing it, Mother Sheng became even more enthusiastic.
"This fish is made of smoke. If it tastes good, you can eat more. You're welcome."
Gu Tingxiao nodded and glanced at Sheng Wanyan. He didn't expect that Sheng Wanyan was such a good cook.
Sheng Wanyan felt the gaze, smiled and nodded, then continued to eat with her head down.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Gu Tingxiao did not expect the Sheng family to be so generous. He felt that the gift he brought was not enough.
It seems that I have to give some more to the Sheng family before I leave.
After dinner, Gu Tingxiao left without staying long, and Sheng Wanze saw him downstairs.
"Ting Xiao, I have something to trouble you with."
"What's up?"
Gu Tingxiao asked him directly. Since they were so familiar with each other, there was no need to beat around the bush.
"My family wants to buy a bicycle, but we're still short of a bicycle ticket. Do you think there's any way you can help me get one?"
"Okay, I'll give it to you in two days."
Gu Tingxiao agreed without thinking. He didn't have it on him now, but his aunt should be able to find a way to get it.
If it really didn't work, he would call Kyoto and ask his mother for help.
"Okay, I'll treat you to meat next time!"
"You should save your money to marry a wife."
Gu Tingxiao glanced at him and left in big strides.
"Hey! Stop looking down on me!"
Sheng Wanze chased after him and said a few words unhappily. He had been in the army for so many years, didn’t he even have the money to marry a wife?
Gu Tingxiao didn't bother to pay attention to him, got in the car and left, leaving him with only the back of the car.

Sheng Wanyan and her mother cleaned up the house. After that, her mother sat in the living room, thinking about the in-laws who would come to visit the day after tomorrow.
"Get off work early tomorrow and come with me to buy some food to entertain the guests."
Mother Sheng gave Sheng Wanyan some instructions. It was her first time meeting her in-laws and she felt quite nervous.
"Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Sheng Wanze was very enthusiastic, but his mother just rolled her eyes at him. Why was he going?
To make yourself angry?
Now she finally understood the advantages of her daughter. Whenever she had something on her mind that she was not comfortable talking to, her daughter was someone she could talk to very easily.
"I'm annoyed just by seeing you. Go away."
Sheng Wanze looked at his angry mother. Didn’t she hug him and cry yesterday?
Has it changed today?
"I'm strong, I can help you carry things."
"Oh, I, your mother, am not that old yet!"
Anyway, Sheng's mother is unhappy with him in every way now, and she is thinking that her son did not even inform her in advance.
My boyfriend is coming to my house the day after tomorrow, and I’m feeling angry.
She wanted her son to get married, but she didn't want to be impolite. Her son knew how scarce food was now.
If her daughter hadn't brought back the meat today, what would she use to entertain the guests the day after tomorrow?
Then what will the in-laws think of the Sheng family?
"Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Sheng Wanyan put out the fire in time, and Sheng's mother nodded and told her to go back to her room and rest.
Before returning to her room, Sheng's mother glared at Sheng Wanze, saying that her sons were here to collect debts.
Sheng Wanze rubbed his nose. His mother's temper was really getting more and more violent.
How much I felt sorry for him when he came back, how much I dislike him now.
The next day, Sheng Wanyan brought 20 White Rabbit milk candies to Niu Fangli, and Niu Fangli gave her 1 yuan.
White Rabbit milk candy is such a rare item that she was afraid that the one dollar she gave was too little.
Sheng Wanyan accepted it without any refusals, and went to Director Li to ask for two hours off after get off work that day.
Since Sheng Wanyan’s last publicity made him proud, Director Li agreed without thinking.
"Okay, I'll write you a note for leave."
Director Li wrote her a leave application and asked her to take it to the Logistics Department for stamping.
"Thank you, Director."
Sheng Wanyan successfully applied for leave, and as soon as she stepped out of the factory gate, she saw her mother waiting for her.
Following behind was Sheng Wanze, who was thick-skinned and shameless.
When Sheng's mother saw him after get off work, she didn't say anything and just let him follow her. She thought it would be stupid not to use the free labor.
"Mom, let's go."
Sheng Wanze specifically went to ask Gu Tingxiao to borrow a bicycle, and Gu Tingxiao gave him the bicycle ticket he wanted.
This was the ticket that Sheng Wanze bought with 50 yuan, so Gu Tingxiao accepted it without any hesitation.
After all, there’s no reason for him to give away a free bicycle ticket, right? The current market value of a bicycle ticket is 50 yuan.
Sheng Wanze never likes to take advantage of others. He always gives what he deserves and repays the favor when the time comes.
There is no doubt that Gu Tingxiao must have asked his aunt for it. I wonder how much thought Gu Tingxiao put into this.
"By the way, Mom, I found a way to get the bicycle ticket."
Sheng Wanze gave the bicycle ticket to his mother, so that he could buy a bicycle later and ride one back each.
"Okay, I'll buy two bicycles later."
Mother Sheng always carried with her the bicycle ticket that Father Sheng had managed to get back, so that she could buy a bicycle at any time.
"Can Yan'er ride a bike?"
Sheng Wanze looked at Sheng Wanyan. It seemed that his younger sister didn't know how to ride a bike yet.
"Your sister has already learned it. When she was in high school, she often borrowed the teacher's bicycle to buy things and run errands for the teacher."
Although Sheng Wanyan's academic performance has declined, she is a sensible person and all the teachers in school are very friendly to her.
Sheng Wanyan nodded. The original owner did know how to ride when she was in high school, so she wouldn’t have to make excuses later.
"Okay, you two go first on your bikes, and I'll walk over."
Sheng Wanze gave the bicycle to the two of them. Sheng Wanyan took the bicycle and asked Sheng's mother to get on and sit down.
"Brother, meet us later when you go to buy pork."
Sheng Wanyan turned around and gave Sheng Wanze a word, and Sheng Wanze nodded. Now the pork had to be sold early, and there would be a long queue.
If you buy it too late, you won’t be able to buy good meat. You can only buy some bones and lean meat.
