Luxury goods are always priced beautifully no matter what era!

The Rolex watches that Shen Peifeng and his colleagues gave to Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan were a pair, both gold watches. This one was even more expensive, selling for a whopping 1,588 yuan in 1977.

You have to know that in 1977, the average worker in the country earned less than 30 yuan a month.

1588 yuan, even if an ordinary worker does not eat or drink, it will take two to three years to buy a watch.

Zhan Xinyue said that nothing could be accepted.

Shen Fuyao took the watch from Shen Peifeng and stuffed it directly into Zhan Xinyue's pocket, "Sister-in-law, we are a family now. The Shen family's property is yours. Why are you being polite to us? If you want to make up your mind, then how do you account for the fact that you saved Dad's life twice?"

At this point, it would be impolite for Zhan Xinyue to refuse. She took the watch with both hands and said, "Thank you."

"That's right." Dong Wushuang brought out a big cake from the kitchen with a smile.

"I made this myself. Time is running out. Xinyue, take a look and see if you like it."

As Zhan Xinyue approached, the unique aroma of the cake instantly spread to her nose, "What a nice smell!" The raw materials that can be bought in Beijing are much more than those on the island. The cake made by Dong Wushuang is even sweeter than the one made by Zhan Xinyue.

It looks even softer. The top layer of the cake is white cream. Dong Wushuang decorated it with a crescent moon and a few stars on the edge. It can be seen that the person who made the cake is very skilled. The whole picture is simple and beautiful.

"So beautiful, I like it very much." Zhan Xinyue exclaimed.

In the past, Dong Wu's parents made cakes for Sheng Tunan's birthdays, and her craftsmanship improved year after year.

In the 1970s, it was not popular to sing happy birthday songs in China, nor was there a custom of blowing candles and making wishes. Zhan Xinyue took the cake and used a knife to divide the cake among everyone.

The Shen family is large, so each person got a small piece, and also gave a piece to the two guards on duty and the bodyguards.

After sharing the cake, everyone started to eat.

At this time, Shen Min'e took out two exquisite boxes and handed them to Zhan Xinyue: "Xinyue, these are just two sets of acupuncture tools. One is made of gold, you can keep it for collection, and the other is made of pure silver, you can use it to give acupuncture to patients."

A gift from an elder cannot be refused.

This time, Zhan Xinyue did not refuse and took it with a big smile, "Thank you, Dad."

The box was a bit plain and looked quite old. After opening the box, each set was made very finely. The needles of the gold set were even made with some auspicious totems. Zhan Xinyue was curious: "Dad, this set of needles must have been made for a long time, right?"

The box is a little oxidized. Gold has been strictly controlled in the past decade or so. It is impossible to openly produce a style with fine needles, and no merchant dares to sell it.

"Yes, but I made it specially for you to repay Mr. Zeng for saving my life. At that time, gold was still in circulation. Unfortunately, after the injection, Mr. Zeng was demoted."

"Your master is Mr. Zeng, so it's the same for you. Besides, you have saved my life twice." Shen Min'e smiled kindly.

Knowing that Zhan Xinyue has a high medical talent, Shen Min'e hopes that his daughter-in-law can promote traditional Chinese medicine.

However, this is not to say that everyone has different ideals. As a qualified elder, Shen Min'e will never impose his wishes on the younger generations.

After all the gifts were given out, everyone started to eat.

Zhan Xinyue was surprised to find that there was a pair of serving chopsticks between every two dishes.

She looked at Sheng Tunan, asking him if he had told her about her allergy to water.

Allergies to the new moon are not that serious. If you just eat, at most you will get a little rash on your face, which will disappear automatically after one or two hours.

Sheng Tunan shook his head, indicating that he didn't say anything. When it came to his daughter-in-law's personal safety, Shen Tunan didn't dare to tell even the closest people.

It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I can't afford the consequences of losing Zhan Xinyue!

"Xinyue, have a big chicken drumstick." Dong Wushuang picked up a big chicken drumstick with a serving chopstick and gave it to his daughter-in-law.

"Thank you, Mom." Zhan Xinyue took the bowl with both hands, looked at the serving chopsticks, and was about to say something.

At lunch, there were no serving chopsticks on the table. Zhan Xinyue thought it must have been specially prepared for her, but she didn't know how to ask.

"Xinyue, do you have a cleanliness fetish?" Dong Wushuang said, "We are all family, you should have told us earlier. There are three international students in our family. When the second child was studying in Luoguo, his tutor had a cleanliness fetish. Many people have it, but the severity varies."

Zhan Xinyue's brain was working rapidly. She guessed that Dong Wushuang must have thought that she had a cleanliness fetish. She started to use the serving chopsticks and asked, "Mom, how did you know?"

"My second brother told me that when you eat, you almost always pick up the dishes we haven't touched yet. You won't eat the dishes we have touched more. My mentor is a clean freak. When we have a meal together and the host doesn't prepare serving chopsticks, he will do the same as you and only eat the food he hasn't touched."

After listening to what Dong Wushuang said, Zhan Xinyue did not explain. The idea of ​​cleanliness was good and it could be used for future gatherings.

늀At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Shen Zhiyan seemed to sense something and looked outside. He saw He Yaqin standing at the door with a big bag of things and waving at him. He quickly stood up and yelled, "I'll go open the door for Yaqin."

The guards at the gate knew Commander He's granddaughter, but their current responsibility was to protect the safety of Academician Shen and his family. They would not let anyone in without the consent of the Shen family.

Shen Zhiyan ran over and opened the gate personally to let the person in. If there weren't so many people, he would definitely try to persuade the person he hadn't seen for many days and missed very much.

He Yaqin handed the big bag to her, "This is the seafood and bacon that Aunt Xu brought for Sister Xinyue."

Shen Zhiyan took it and asked casually, "Yaqin, didn't you say in your telegram that you would reply tomorrow?"

"Why, I can't go back today? You don't welcome me back?"

"No, no." Shen Zhiyan was so anxious that he was standing there. Last time, it was because he said something rude that the target ran to the island. Now he has learned his lesson and said it with a honeyed mouth.

"I was worried that you would be tired coming back from the station alone."

"Hmph, that's better. Where's Sister Xinyue?" He Yaqin asked. She went home to put her luggage first. She learned from her grandfather that Sheng Tunan was the son of Academician Shen. Thinking that Zhan Xinyue should be in the Shen family, she couldn't wait to come over and share the good news with her.

"At home, come on, let's start eating. I'll go prepare dishes and chopsticks for you." As they were talking, they arrived at the restaurant. Shen Zhiyan moved a chair for He Yaqin and placed it next to his own seat, then went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks for her.
