Volume 1 Chapter 270 Mother Gu goes to show off the watch Sheng Wanyan gave her
"Now that my grandparents have a great-grandson, their faces are rosy."
When Mother Gu saw Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng looking so happy, she knew that they were living a good life.
"That's because now that I have a great-grandchild, I feel like I can live longer."
Grandma Sheng had never thought that she could have four generations living under one roof. Now that the family has hope, everything is different.
Once a person has too many worries, he will be reluctant to step into the coffin.
"Grandpa and grandma, please enjoy the family happiness."
"I still have to watch my great-grandson go to school and get married in the future."
"Then we can enjoy five generations living under one roof!"
Mother Gu is very good at making the elders happy with her words. Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng were so happy that they couldn’t stop laughing.
"I'll just borrow the good words from my in-laws."
Grandma Sheng was so happy when she heard that she had “five generations living under one roof”.
Just thinking about that scene makes me feel happy.
Sheng Wanyan ate fruit and listened to the elders chatting with each other.
When Grandma Sheng saw that her granddaughter got along well with Gu's mother, she felt relieved.
After chatting for a while, the two went back because they still had to turn the soil in their private plots.
"Turning the soil? Is it time to sow seeds?"
Gu's mother also worked in the fields when she was a child. After all, Kyoto was still all fields at that time.
"Yes, this is a good opportunity to grow vegetables."
"Then we can stock up for the New Year."
"It's very cold here. It's not easy to go out in winter."
Mother Gu listened and thought: "Grandpa and grandma, wait for me, I will also help to turn the soil at home."
Grandpa Sheng, Grandma Sheng, and Sheng Wanyan were surprised by what Mother Gu said. Are they sure they didn't hear it wrong? ? ?
Mother Gu is going to turn the soil? ? ?
"Why? You think I can't?"
When Mother Gu saw their expressions, she knew what was so strange about it.
Before I got married, Kyoto was no different from the village.
"When I was young, Kyoto was still a land, and every household had a farm."
"I am very familiar with this tillage. After so many years, I miss it a lot."
After saying this, Mother Gu went to the woodshed and came out carrying a hoe. Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng didn't try to stop her.
If Gu's mother can't do it, they can just help.
Originally, Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng were thinking of turning over the private plots together with Sheng Wanyan's family.
After all, they can do this job slowly and get it done.
Now that Mother Gu has taken the initiative, it has naturally helped a lot.
"Mom, go change your clothes."
Sheng Wanyan reminded Mother Gu that she was still wearing her long skirt.
After hearing this, Mother Gu thought it made sense, and asked Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng to wait for her at the door.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to change my clothes and meet you at the door later!"
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng nodded and went home to get a hoe.
Sheng Wanyan watched Gu's mother walk out the door carrying a hoe, and even waved to her.
Before leaving, Gu's mother told her to have a good rest at home and wait for her to come back to till the land in the backyard.
Sheng Wanyan returned to her room to translate. She had just sent out the ten books she had translated two days ago.
In a month, there will be a big income again.
When Mother Gu went to the private plot, many people were curious about who she was. Grandma Sheng had become familiar with the aunties and military wives in the family compound.
After the introduction, everyone understood everything and started asking questions about what was happening in Kyoto.
Kyoto was too far away from them, and they could only learn about the place they longed for from what others said.
Mother Gu picked out and talked about some things that everyone was curious about, such as Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
Everyone's eyes were filled with longing after hearing this, but they were not lucky enough to go!
Not to mention living in Kyoto, how much money would it cost to live there!
Now the military wives and aunties in the family compound also know that Gu Tingxiao is from Kyoto. Before, they always thought that Captain Gu was just a city dweller.
I didn't expect that Captain Gu is from Kyoto. His family must be so impressive!
Sheng Wanyan was even luckier, as she married and moved to Kyoto.
If I had known earlier, I would have married my daughter to Captain Gu. Now, my chance to rise to prominence is gone.
In an instant, everyone looked at Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng with envy.
The son in the family married a daughter-in-law from Kyoto, and the daughter in the family married a son-in-law from Kyoto.
Then the Sheng family is no different from half of the people in Kyoto.
Maybe I will go to Kyoto to retire in the future.
It really is true that people have different fates!
They all came from the village and worked hard, but their fates were so different.
It seems that it is also important to marry the right daughter-in-law and find the right son-in-law.
Maybe you can become a Kyoto citizen, or at worst a city or town citizen!
———
Mother Gu turned the soil very smoothly. Although her speed was a little slow, there was nothing she did wrong.
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng went to help after turning over their own private plots. They finished quickly and went home to make lunch.
Mother Gu only wanted to run home. She had to go back quickly to cook for her daughter-in-law.
Everyone hadn't heard enough of her story yet, and when they saw her about to leave, they quickly grabbed her.
"Madam Gu, why are you in such a hurry?"
"That's right! Doesn't your daughter-in-law cook for you at home? Tell us more about what happened in Kyoto."
Mother Gu waved her hands quickly: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, I have to go back to cook."
"You guys chat."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard that she wanted to cook for her daughter-in-law. How could this make sense for a mother-in-law to cook for her daughter-in-law?
"No...Isn't your daughter-in-law more than six months pregnant?"
"Why is it like I'm about to give birth and I can't even cook?"
"No, Mrs. Gu, you can't indulge your daughter-in-law like this, or she will take advantage of you and do something else!"
The aunties in the army taught Gu's mother how to be a mother-in-law.
Captain Wu's wife (Zhang Zhaodi) has been in a bad mood ever since she was taught a lesson by her husband after being humiliated by Sheng Wanyan last time.
She never dared to get close to Sheng Wanyan again, for fear that her mother-in-law and her husband would scold her again.
He felt unbalanced, and when he saw Gu's mother here, he said a few words to everyone.
"That's right. Sheng Wanyan usually lets Captain Gu cook and clean at home, and she just enjoys the good life herself."
"Why is her mother-in-law here and she still lets her mother-in-law take care of her like this?"
"This is too unbecoming of a daughter-in-law."
Mother Gu has lived for so many years, how could she not know what Zhang Zhaodi meant?
These aunties said they could understand, after all, in every family nowadays the daughter-in-law takes care of the mother-in-law.
They are just people in the bigger environment. She has different ideas from these mothers-in-law, so she just needs to deal with them on the surface.
You are a young military wife, and you are saying such sarcastic words here.
Isn't it just that you are jealous of your daughter-in-law and are trying to put on an eye for yourself?
So that he can go back and cause trouble for his daughter-in-law Sheng Wanyan.
Fuck you!
