Volume 1, Chapter 5: Getting to know the Sheng family, going to the countryside?
Everyone hopes to have more male children in the family, especially in an era of labor force.
Grandma Sheng only gave birth to one child, and her mother-in-law was unhappy and always made her work hard.
Moreover, Sheng's father was her second grandson, and Old Lady Sheng thought even less of him since he was caught in the middle.
Later, Sheng's father was admitted to university and became the only college student in the village.
This gave Grandma Sheng a big sigh of relief. Now Grandma Sheng wanted the second wife to support the first wife.
Fortunately, Grandpa Sheng loved his wife very much and divided the family property ruthlessly.
I only have one son, so I won't let everyone in the family become vampires and ruin my son's future.
Later, Mrs. Sheng passed away, and the gap between the two families became increasingly wider.
This one son of Sheng's father is responsible for all the affairs of the whole family.
The eldest son in the same room is the same age as Sheng’s father, so she has to call him uncle.
He worked as a scorekeeper in the village and he and his wife had three children.
Two men and one woman, all in their 20s, had been married for a long time.
The second son is just an ordinary farmer in the village, and he earns work points every day to support his family.
She had to call him second uncle. There were four children in the family, two boys and two girls.
Except for the youngest daughter who is the same age as Sheng Wanyan and is currently looking for a husband, the rest are married.
Grandpa Sheng’s family has really many children, with seven grandchildren in total, four boys and three girls.
Add in the great-grandchildren, and there are even more people in the family.
The reason why Sheng Wanyan's academic performance plummeted was because of Sheng Xiuying, the little girl from her second uncle Sheng's family.
Sheng Xiuying and Sheng Wanyan are the same age, but their lives are very different.
Sheng Wanyan was a girl who never had to work since she was young, and she also had the envy of everyone for her education.
And I can only work like a slave in a family that favors boys over girls. There is endless work to do and not enough food to eat.
She has envied and jealous of Sheng Wanyan since she was a child. They are of the same age, so why can she have no worries about food and clothing?
She should work in the fields like herself and do the hardest and most tiring work.
After knowing that Sheng Wanyan could stay in the city after graduation, he tried every means to brainwash the original owner Sheng Wanyan.
Every time I told her that labor is the most glorious thing nowadays, and that due to the problems in the world and the fact that scholars are not valued, Sheng Wanyan was slowly brainwashed.
As a result, his grades got worse and worse and he lost the opportunity to stay in the school.
The original owner, Sheng Wanyan, had never experienced any major storms, and before she came, she had no idea what Sheng Xiuying was planning.
Knowing that Sheng Xiuying was living a miserable life at home, he always gave her his food.
I believed in my heart that she was my good sister, and I don't know how many gifts I had given her over the years.
Sheng Wanyan really wanted to slap the original owner a few times. After all, he was a high school graduate, so how could he be so stupid?
She will have to find a way to get those things back when the time comes. The most important thing now is work.
"There is still half a month left. If it really doesn't work..."
"Just arrange a blind date for her."
Grandpa Sheng’s words left everyone stunned, and Sheng Wanyan coughed several times in a row.
As soon as you arrive... you go on a blind date? ? ?
"What are you talking about, old man?" Grandma Sheng was the first one to disagree. How could she just marry anyone?
"Why don't we let her go to the countryside?"
It is absolutely impossible to go to the countryside, because it is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
There are a lot of trivial matters, and people can fight to the death for a piece of meat.
They themselves came from the countryside, and the interests of their own village are always given priority.
"At least now you can go on a blind date and find someone with a stable job. If there's no suitable one in Chengdu, let Wanze choose someone in the army."
What Grandpa Sheng said makes sense. If there is really no other way, this is the only option.
Sheng Wanyan glanced at them and wanted to say something but was glared back at by Sheng's mother.
Sheng Wanyan clearly saw the words in her mother's eyes: Behave yourself...
Sheng Wanyan, the protagonist of this topic, has no say at all.
"Tomorrow you can send a letter to Xiaoze and ask him to hurry up and help look after the good family."
Grandpa Sheng arranged everything with just one sentence, leaving her no room for negotiation.
That night, I lay in bed looking at the ceiling of the tube-shaped building, and heard no more footsteps outside.
After waiting for a while to make sure that Mr. Sheng and the others were asleep, he immediately entered the space.
This body was too weak and he was out of breath even with the slightest effort. Sheng Wanyan quickly went to drink a few sips of the spiritual spring water.
After drinking it, she felt much more comfortable instantly. Sheng Wanyan smelled the smell coming from her body, immediately covered her mouth and ran into the bamboo room to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I looked in the mirror and saw someone who looked exactly like me.
A typical oval face with smooth facial lines, bright and deep eyes, a straight nose and plump red lips.
A typical Hong Kong beauty, with two pigtails on both sides and estimated to be about 168cm tall.
But his body looks a little thin and his hair is a little yellow, and it’s obvious that he’s not getting enough nutrition.
Who cares about nutrition in this day and age? It’s good enough to be able to eat enough.
The original owner's starting point was much better than that of girls of this era.
Mr. Sheng's salary is 40 yuan a month, and his mother has 25 yuan.
A salary of 65 yuan is more than enough to support a family, and Sheng Wanze joined the army seven years ago.
Now at the age of 25, I am a battalion commander, with a monthly salary of RMB 100,000, plus mission bonuses, which adds up to 70 RMB.
He is the only son of the Sheng family. He has never married or had children. He sends money back home every month and gives it to Sheng's mother for safekeeping.
If he saves 5 dollars a month for his living expenses, it will be enough for him to live on.
Nowadays, five yuan is the income for a whole family in the village for a month.
Sheng Wanyan took a bottle of milk and cooked some lean meat porridge and drank it before leaving the space.
Now she has no reason to take meat and vegetables out. She will have to wait until she gets a job and gets paid.
Sheng Wanyan went out the next day. Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng did not stop her and let her go out to relax.
Sheng Wanyan's house is on the third floor, which is a perfect location, neither too high nor too low.
As soon as Sheng Wanyan went downstairs, she saw other people in the building. Some of them would greet her as usual when they saw her.
"Is the daughter of the Sheng family going out?"
"I heard that you had a fever because of going to the countryside?"
"Listen to my advice, there's nothing wrong with going to the countryside. It can also reduce the burden on your parents."
Sheng Wanyan simply nodded, having expected to hear these words.
After all, everyone in the tube-shaped building envied the Sheng family's life, as both husband and wife were employees.
My son is a soldier and his income is not low.
There are only six people in the family, and their quality of life is much better than hers.
Who wouldn’t be jealous?
Since Sheng Wanze was the battalion commander, everyone only dared to complain in private and would not confront him in person.
Maybe we will need help from the Sheng family in the future.
However, there are also people in the tube-shaped building who have a bad relationship with the Sheng family, such as the Li family in the tube-shaped building.
