Volume 1 Chapter 339 Huaishan
“It has been sent.”
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng knew that she had taken Yi Yi to the city to take photos, so they came to ask about it.
"That's good. Your father-in-law hasn't met Yi Yi yet. Who knows, he might be very curious."
"And your parents, they always mention Yi Yi every time they write to you."
Sheng Wanyan smiled when she heard this. Father and mother Sheng had spent some time with Yi Yi since they came to the army last time.
I can’t tell you how much I miss my granddaughter Yi Yi when I go back.
Especially Mr. Sheng, who often showed off to others how cute and well-behaved his granddaughter was when he returned home.
Many people living in the tube-shaped buildings in Chengdu watched Sheng Wanyan grow up. When they knew that Sheng Wanyan gave birth to a daughter, they thought that her life would fall into poverty.
I didn't expect that even after giving birth to a daughter, they are still living a good life.
Sheng's father was the deputy director of the workshop, and no one dared to say that girls were money-losing goods, so they could only smile and agree.
Every time after showing off, Mr. Sheng would go home happily. As soon as Mrs. Sheng saw his expression, she knew where he had been.
He always goes out to show off his grandchildren, and only comes home to eat if people envy him.

Sheng Wanyan had a very comfortable time in the following days. She would water the vegetables in the morning or translate at home.
I take a nap with Yi Yi at noon, and then take Yi Yi out for a walk in the afternoon and go fishing from time to time.
Or he could leave Yi Yi to Pan Yue and take some time to go to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood.
Sometimes I would take Pan Yue to the foot of the mountain to dig mushrooms with the military wives to add a dish to the family.
Sheng Wanyan was used to eating sour wild fruits, and she would pick some every time she went up the mountain.
"Sister-in-law, you take it, I'll go pick it."
Sheng Wanyan and Pan Yue saw the wild grapes, and they worked together to pick a lot of them.
After picking the fruits, Sheng Wanyan stretched her body and saw something in the bushes, thinking she was dazzled.
Sheng Wanyan walked closer and looked at it uncertainly, and Pan Yue followed with some confusion.
"Little sister, what's wrong?"
"Sister-in-law, good stuff."
Pan Yue followed, and Sheng Wanyan saw a small piece of yam, which was a good thing.
It’s delicious for making soup, steaming or hot pot.
"What's this?"
People of this generation know very little about yam and don’t know it is edible.
"Sister-in-law, this is yam."
"It's like sweet potatoes. You can eat it. It's very soft."
"And it has high nutritional value, so children can eat it."
When Pan Yue heard her answer, his eyes lit up. There is such a good thing?
"Sister-in-law, go home and get a shovel and gloves. The skin of the Chinese yam cannot be touched directly with the skin."
"It will itch, so you need to wear gloves."
When Pan Yue heard this, she hurried back home to get her things and ran up the mountain in a hurry.
Pan Yue brought two large backpacks, gloves and a shovel.
There are estimated to be 30 yam in this small piece, not more, not less, enough to eat for a long time.
The two men each dug a backpack and carried it back home.
Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng were a little confused when they saw this thing. Why did they carry it back in such a hurry?
“Isn’t this wood from the mountain?”
The surface of the yam was similar to the firewood they usually picked up, so everyone thought it was just some small pieces of wood.
"My little sister said this is some kind of Chinese yam, and it can be eaten after peeling it."
“Like sweet potatoes, they have great nutritional value.”
"What the hell?"
It was the first time that Grandma Sheng heard that this wild wood was edible, so she quickly took out a knife and started to peel it.
Pan Yue thought that this thing could not be touched directly by the skin, so she immediately grabbed Grandma Sheng.
"Granny, you can't touch this thing directly, you need to wear gloves."
After hearing this, Grandma Sheng put on gloves and peeled a piece of yam.
“Is this thing really edible?”
"My little sister said yes."
Grandma Sheng has great trust in her granddaughter, who is able to make her own medicine.
If she can say yes, then it must be yes.
"Okay, let's cook it for dinner tonight."
That night, Grandma Sheng cooked it the way Sheng Wanyan said. This thing is very sweet.
Just steam it until cooked, no seasoning is needed.
This was the first time my family ate it. It was powdery when they put it in their mouth, and it tasted pretty good.
“It’s really edible and tastes quite sweet.”
"Yes, my little sister said this thing is nutritious and can be given to Hu Zi to eat."
"Make it softer for Hu Zi tomorrow and give it to him to eat."
This thing is durable, nutritious and soft, making it perfect for tigers.
Sheng Wanyan used it to make soup, and chestnut and yam chicken soup was the most suitable. She also took the soup to the other side.
Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng loved it very much when they saw that this thing could be cooked in so many ways.
After finishing her meal, Sheng Wanyan put the remaining yam into the cellar.
After entering the space and taking a shower, I took Yi Yi to sleep.
The days passed slowly, and Kyoto and Rongcheng also received the photos sent by Sheng Wanyan.

Kyoto Gu Family:
"Mom and Dad, this is something Yan'er sent."
Mother Gu took the envelope back. When Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu saw it was an envelope, they thought something had happened.
He hurriedly blew the air and urged her to open the envelope and see what was in it.
Mother Gu quickly opened it and two photos fell out.
“It’s a photo!”
"Hurry, hurry, let me see."
Grandpa Gu hurried forward. He had never met his great-granddaughter and was worried about her very much.
Mother Gu gave the photo to the two elderly people, and Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu looked at it carefully.
Father Gu also stretched his neck to look at his granddaughter in the photo.
"Oh~ Look how plump and juicy Yi Yi is."
When Grandma Gu saw Yi Yi, who was plump and white, she was so happy.
"That's right. My third sister-in-law is very attentive in raising children."
When Mrs. Gu saw the plump and white Yi Yi in the photo, she couldn't help but sigh that Sheng Wanyan took good care of Yi Yi.
They were also worried that Sheng Wanyan would be overwhelmed as she had no experience raising a child for the first time.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Wanyan did a very good job. Not only did she raise her children well, she also raised herself well.
It can be seen from the photos that Sheng Wanyan is living a good life, and both mother and daughter are in good health.
"Good for Bai Pang. This little darling is a blessed one."
"Look at this little face, how blessed it is."
Grandma Gu looked at the photos. Each of the little faces was delicate and spiritual.
"Yes, Yan'er and the child are both good."
"It's hard work, Yan'er. You take care of the family and the children, and you do such a good job."
The Gu family must have known about Gu Tingxiao's mission, and even many soldiers from Kyoto went to rescue him.
"Yes, I don't know when Yi Yi can return to Kyoto."
"I don't know if the third brother and his family will come back this year."
Grandma Gu is old, so she wants to see Yi Yi, the great-granddaughter she has never met.
"According to the date, he is already 9 months old. He should be able to come back next year."
Grandma Gu was reminded of the mother and daughter in the photo and was in a daze for a long time.
Mother Gu comforted her, saying that she missed her granddaughter too!
But my granddaughter is only 9 months old and it is not suitable for her to ride in a car at this age.
