Volume 1 Chapter 395 Everyone Comes to Borrow Bicycles
Three meats, one vegetable and one soup is already a very sumptuous meal.
Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng both know how much their granddaughter and son-in-law earn per month, so they don’t find it strange that they eat better.
Yi Yi couldn't eat anything else for dinner and only wanted to drink milk, and Sheng Wanyan didn't bother to care about her.
Anyway, after skipping a meal, she will know what it feels like to be hungry.
"Come on, Xiao Gu, let's have a drink together."
Grandpa Sheng was at home being watched by Grandma Sheng and he didn't dare drink too much, but today he came to his granddaughter's house and he had to have a good time.
Gu Tingxiao went to get the wine and filled his and Grandpa Sheng’s glasses.
How could Grandma Sheng not know what this old man was thinking? Every time he comes to eat, he is more enthusiastic than anyone else.
He didn't eat much, but he kept drinking. He really thought he was brainless. I had no idea what was going on in his mind.
Sheng Wanyan pretended not to see it. Grandpa Sheng liked this kind of thing. He would rather starve to death than not have wine to drink.
As long as Grandpa Sheng is in good health, it’s okay for him to drink a little more occasionally.
"Don't worry about him, let's eat."
Grandma Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to Grandpa Sheng. She picked up a few pieces of meat for Sheng Wanyan and pulled her to eat.
The two men didn't drink much, and Gu Tingxiao still knew his limits.
On the way back, Grandpa Sheng glanced at Gu Tingxiao. He didn't expect that this grandson-in-law was also afraid of his wife.
He was also thinking about coming to his son-in-law's house for dinner and drinking to his heart's content.
As it turned out, this man was afraid of his wife. After receiving a look from his granddaughter, he put down his wine glass and dared not drink.
He really has nowhere to go. It doesn't make sense for him to tell his grandson-in-law not to be so obedient to his granddaughter, right? ? ?
Wouldn't this affect the relationship between my granddaughter and her husband?
Grandpa Sheng had to leave without having a satisfying time, and before leaving he did not forget to take the peach blossom wine brewed by Sheng Wanyan.
Sheng Wanyan found it funny. She really didn't expect that after so many years, Grandpa Sheng was still so afraid of Grandma Sheng.
Sheng Wanyan sent the two old people back to the other side. Grandma Sheng got angry when she saw the wine in Grandpa Sheng's hand.
This man went to his granddaughter's house just for these two bottles of wine. He was really spoiled.
"Grandpa, I'm going back first."
Sheng Wanyan wanted to go back to look after Yiyi. Grandpa Sheng and grandma Sheng naturally knew that Yiyi hadn't eaten anything just now.
He must be hungry now, so there is no need to think about his granddaughter going to educate the child.
"Okay, just watch the road."
In winter, it gets dark very early. 7 o'clock seems like 10 o'clock at night and you can't see anything.
"Okay, you guys go in."
"Go to bed early."
Sheng Wanyan thought about it one by one and hurried back home.
As soon as Sheng Wanyan left, Grandma Sheng took away the wine that Grandpa Sheng brought back.
"Hey hey...at least leave a bottle for me!"
Grandpa Sheng resisted and was unwilling to let go, but Grandma Sheng just snatched it away.
"Leave it for you to drink secretly?"
"With your little tricks, you still dare to act in front of me."
Grandma Sheng guessed exactly what Grandpa Sheng was thinking. Grandpa Sheng wanted to protest, but he couldn't find the words to say.
"Don't think you can drink recklessly just because you got it back."
"Don't you see how old you are?"
"It's true that the older I get, the more willful I become."
Grandma Sheng kept talking about him, and Grandpa Sheng had been listening to these words for his entire life and could even recite them by heart.
But he still didn't say anything and just sat in the living room letting Grandma Sheng nag him.
———
After the second day of the Lunar New Year, the New Year quickly arrives and children come out to play and chant New Year's rhymes.
My dear wife, don’t be greedy. After Laba Festival, it will be the New Year.
Drink Laba porridge for a few days, it will be the twenty-third.
The twenty-third is sticky sugar melon, and the twenty-fourth is the day to clean the house.
On the twenty-fifth, paste the windows; on the twenty-sixth, stew the meat.
On the twenty-seventh, slaughter the rooster; on the twenty-eighth, make the flour ferment; on the twenty-nine, steam the buns.
Stay up all night on the 30th and twist around on the first day of the new year.
......
......
Sheng Wanyan was just going out to get a package when she heard the children playing together outside shouting the jingle.
It’s true that the New Year in this era is really festive.
It's bustling everywhere, even in such a cold day, there is a sense of New Year.
This is simply incomparable in later generations. In later China, gradually even the New Year celebrations lost their festive atmosphere.
In fact, this is also because the country has developed too rapidly and entered the Internet age.
Sometimes, the Internet replaces face-to-face meetings and takes up everyone's time.
Sheng Wanyan hasn't been out for a while, and the soldiers are still on vacation.
It's New Year's Day and everyone has nothing to do, so the military wives drag their husbands to the city to buy things.
However, the troops did not have a car going to the city today, so everyone rode their bicycles at home.
If you don’t have a bicycle, you can ask others to borrow one. Those who have a good relationship with you will do you a favor.
Sheng Wanze and Pan Yue also went shopping, and before leaving, he came over to ask them if they wanted to join them.
Sheng Wanyan refused. She didn't like going outside in the cold winter and there was nothing missing at home.
However, Sheng Wanyan still asked them to help buy some seasonings. Otherwise, the family had not gone out for such a long time and had everything they needed, which would easily arouse suspicion.
"Brother, sister-in-law, please bring me a bottle of soy sauce and salt."
"OK."
Sheng Wanze responded loudly while riding Pan Yue on a bicycle and headed towards the city.
Sheng Wanyan went to get the package and happened to see Captain Wang and Yang Wanshu at the door.
They had originally planned to go to the city as well, but they didn't have a bicycle at home, so they were planning to borrow one.
Now Captain Wang has been promoted from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander, his family has become more well-off, and he is planning to go to the city to buy a bicycle.
Yang Wanshu had a good relationship with her, so when Yang Wanshu asked to borrow it, Sheng Wanyan readily agreed.
"Yan'er, are you going out today?"
Yang Wanshu felt a little embarrassed. After all, this bicycle was a rare item, and she didn't know whether Sheng Wanyan would be willing to lend it to her.
"No, are you going to the city?"
"Yes, the comrades in the purchasing department are on holiday for the New Year."
"The food at home is all gone. I'm not going to go to the city to buy some."
"So I want to borrow your bicycle so that Lao Wang and I can go to the city. We can go early and come back early. Our two children are still at home."
Yang Wanshu asked tentatively. She wouldn't have any objection even if Sheng Wanyan didn't lend it to her. After all, it was someone else's thing.
"It's no big deal, let's go to my house and get it."
"Thank you so much."
When Captain Wang heard that she agreed, he hurried over to take the package from her hand.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you get it."
Sheng Wanyan did not refuse and gave the thing to him to help her carry it. After all, it was quite heavy.
When Sheng Wanyan brought Captain Wang and his wife home, they saw someone coming.
It was Deputy Company Commander Wu and Niu Chunhua who came to borrow bicycles, but Sheng Wanyan was not at home, and Gu Tingxiao would not agree privately.
After all, he is also a person who holds grudges. It was Deputy Company Commander Wu’s ex-wife who reported his family.
