Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 456 Meeting Gift

Sheng Liancheng and Wu Lao got closer and closer as they chatted. Wu Bingzhong and Wu Bingyi would interject words from time to time, and they became happier as they chatted.

During the chat, Wu Bingzhong also praised Sheng Xikang a lot.

He also told Sheng Liancheng that after Wu Yuhua graduated and started working, the two families would find a suitable time to finalize the marriage.

As soon as these words came out, the marriage was basically a foregone conclusion.

Over there, Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly called Wu Yuhua to her side, took off the gold bracelet from her wrist, and put it directly on Wu Yuhua's hand.

"Yuhua, my aunt came out in a hurry and didn't bring you any greeting gifts.

If you wear this bracelet, it will be regarded as a gift from your aunt. "

Needless to say, that bracelet was brought back from the south to Zhang Shuzhen by Sheng Xiping years ago.

This bracelet was bought in Hong Kong City, and it costs about two thousand dollars.

"Oh, Auntie, this bracelet is too valuable." Wu Yuhua exclaimed and hurriedly returned the bracelet to Zhang Shuzhen.

As a member of the Wu family, Wu Yuhua still has some knowledge. The bracelet is worth a lot of money at first glance. How can Wu Yuhua dare to accept it?

"Auntie, Xikang already gave me a watch before, saying it was a gift you prepared for me.

I took away the watch, but I can’t take away the bracelet no matter what. "

Zhang Shuzhen stretched out her hand and held Wu Yuhua's hand, "Not counting the watch, this is the first time we meet, and this is a meeting gift.

Auntie doesn't have anything else, so this is all she can get. If you don't accept it, you just don't like auntie anymore. "

Wu Yuhua looked towards Sheng Xikang as if asking for help, wanting Sheng Xikang to say something to her.

This bracelet is really too valuable, she can't accept it.

Sheng Xikang received the signal and hurriedly said, "Mom, look at you, you can't be so happy to see your future daughter-in-law, right? You scare Yuhua again.

So what? Yuhua goes to school. It’s okay to wear a watch, but how can anyone wear a gold bracelet?

You should put the bracelet away first. When we get engaged, you can make some arrangements. "

To be honest, Sheng Xikang was also shocked by his mother's generosity.

A gold bracelet. With his current salary, he doesn't know if he can afford it even if he doesn't eat or drink for a year.

"What are you talking about, you little bastard? Is there any reason to get back the things your mother gave away?

Yuhua, don't listen to him. If your aunt gives it to you, just accept it.

If you feel that wearing it to school is not appropriate, then keep it and wear it later at work.

If you really don't like it, then keep the gold at the bottom of the box. It will be useful at any time. A woman must have something valuable in her hands. "

Zhang Shuzhen was determined to give the bracelet to Wu Yuhua, but no one could tell her how to do it.

"Brother and sister, thank you for admiring Yuhua so much, but we really can't accept this bracelet." At this time, Yu Wenlan next to him spoke.

Even though Yu Wenlan was well-informed, she was also shocked by Zhang Shuzhen's generous move.

Yu Wenlan knew that the Sheng family was rich.

Although Wu Yucheng didn't reveal the truth about his dividends to his family years ago, Wu Bingzhong and his wife could guess it from the boy's lavish spending.

This year, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng made a lot of money doing business.

But if you have money, you have money, and giving him a big gold bracelet as soon as you make a move is really beyond Yu Wenlan's expectation.

After all, Wu Yuhua and Sheng Xikang are just dating now, and the Sheng family has given them a watch, which is enough.

"Sister-in-law, I have determined from the bottom of my heart that Yuhua is our daughter-in-law.

I've already given this bracelet away, and I can't get it back no matter what. That's it.

Yuhua, my aunt gave it to you, just accept it happily, it doesn't matter. "

Zhang Shuzhen held Wu Yuhua's hand and refused to let Wu Yuhua take off the bracelet and return it to herself.

"Aunt, Yuhua, since my mother gave it to me, let Yuhua keep it.

Waiting for Yuhua and Xikang to get engaged, let my mother put together two more things, and we can make three gold. "

On the other side, Sheng Xiping saw this situation and persuaded with a smile.

"Oh, no, no, no, don't raise any three gold, that's a lot of money." Upon hearing this, Yu Wenlan waved her hands quickly.

In these days, who has ever heard of three gold coins being required for an engagement? Even the capital city is not like this.

"Oh, look at how hard it is for you to do something." At this time, Mr. Wu, who was having a lively chat with Sheng Liancheng, spoke up.

"Yuhua, do you and Xikang really get along? Do you want to marry him?

If you really want to get married, then just keep it. It will all be yours in the future anyway, and the meat will rot in the pot.

If you don't really get along with Xikang and don't plan to marry him, then don't. Mr. Wu waved his hand and said simply.

"Grandpa, of course I am sincerely with Xikang." Wu Yuhua said angrily, her face flushed by her grandfather's words.

"That's it, keep it, keep it. This is a gift from your future mother-in-law. Put it away carefully and don't lose it." Mr. Wu laughed.

In this way, Wu Yuhua thanked Zhang Shuzhen and carefully put the bracelet away.

By chance, the nanny came in, said that dinner was ready, and asked when it would be served.

Yu Wenlan glanced at Wu Bingzhong and then smiled.

"Brothers from the Sheng family, younger siblings, and nephews and nieces, today is the first time our two families have met. We were supposed to arrange a hotel to entertain you all.

However, our old man and Bingzhong don’t like to eat out, so I specially invited a famous private chef in the city to cook the dishes for us to eat at home, which is more casual. "

For a family like the Wu family, it is the highest etiquette to allow guests to eat at home.

"Yes, yes, I quite like this cook. He cooks well. You can all try it later." Mr. Wu said with a smile.

In this way, the Sheng family stayed and had a meal together. Brother Wu Bingzhong also had a few drinks with Sheng Liancheng.

Considering that Sheng Liancheng and the others had to take a bus back to their hometown tomorrow morning, no one drank more, just for fun.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while. It was getting late, so Wu Bingzhong sent his two sons to drive the Sheng family back to the hotel.

After the Sheng family left and the nanny packed her things, she discovered the gift Sheng Xiping had brought.

"Sister Lan, look, what are these?"

The nanny found that some of the items in the boxes she didn't recognize, so she quickly told Yu Wenlan.

Yu Wenlan went over to take a look, let out an ouch, and hurriedly called Wu Bingzhong over.

"This kid Xiping is really awesome. He sent so many precious medicinal materials without even saying a word."

Wu Bingzhong took a look and saw that ginseng, snow clam oil, deer antler, and Ganoderma lucidum were all very precious supplements.

“This kid Xiping is very thoughtful, and I don’t know where he got these good things from.

Okay, let’s put the things away, and wait to ask the doctor what kind of food our dad can eat? Just in time to replenish the old man's health. "

On the other side, Sheng Liancheng and his family returned to the hotel.

"Boss, I will give you two thousand yuan later. When you have time to go to Hong Kong City, you can buy a bracelet for Qinglan.

I gave the bracelet to Yuhua today, and then I remembered Qinglan, and I had to mend it for her anyway. "

Sheng Xiping sent his parents back to their room and was about to turn around when he was grabbed by Zhang Shuzhen.

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this, "Mom, Qinglan has everything. I bought her all the gold jewelry."

This old lady is so interesting day by day.

Zhang Shuzhen was stunned when she heard this, "You lied to me and bought it for her, so why didn't you see her wearing it?" Zhang Shuzhen obviously didn't believe it.

"She thought it was too conspicuous. Wearing it when she went back to the forest farm, it was too obvious." Sheng Xiping shook his head and laughed.

"That's not okay. You are you and I am me. I have to buy one for my daughter-in-law."

Zhang Shuzhen didn't care what her eldest son said, but she insisted on buying another bracelet for her eldest daughter-in-law. They are all the same daughters-in-law and must be treated fairly.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, wait until we finish the things back home." Sheng Xiping couldn't resist her mother, so she had no choice but to agree.

In the evening, Sheng Xikang didn't go back to the dormitory, so he simply shared a room with Sheng Xiping.

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up early the next day. Before breakfast, the hotel staff came to knock on the door and delivered the train tickets, saying that it was from the Wu family.

Yesterday, we mentioned during chatting that sisters Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei were about to start school and could not delay returning to school, so they did not go back to their hometown together.

When Sheng Yunfang returned to Shanghai, she happened to take a bus with Sheng Xiping and the others. Sheng Yunfei took the noon train to Yangcheng and walked with Wu Yucheng.

As for Sheng Xikang, he has a job and it is not easy to take leave for too long. When Sheng Xiping and the others go back, if they feel that Mr. Sheng Guangyao is really not well, then call Sheng Xikang.

The Wu family was careful and wrote down the chat content, and then specially arranged for someone to book the tickets and deliver them early in the morning, for fear of delaying the Sheng family's schedule.

It took about ten hours to get from the capital to Yanzhou, and they bought a berth directly.

The ticket was for around eleven o'clock in the morning. I originally planned to visit Wu's house this morning, sit there for a while and then set off to the station.

This is what happens when traveling far away these days. No matter how anxious you are, it doesn't matter. You can't go without a train.

Since there is no need to rush, I might as well rest for a while after eating. Around nine-thirty, everyone packed up their things, went out and took the car straight to the train station.

When they arrived at the station, they found that Wu Bingzhong and his wife were already at the train station with their children.

"Oh, brother, you are too polite. You asked someone to buy the tickets in advance and then came to deliver them to the station.

This is so bad, it’s causing trouble for you. "Sheng Liancheng said very embarrassedly when he saw Wu Bingzhong.

"What's the point? It's rare for you to come to the capital. Let's just show our friendship as landlords." Wu Bingzhong smiled.

Over there, Yu Wenlan handed some things to Zhang Shuzhen, "These are some food for you to take with you. We have been on the road for more than ten hours, and the lunch box in the car is not delicious."

Zhang Shuzhen couldn't refuse the Wu family's offer, so she had to accept it. “Xiping, if there is anything difficult to solve when you get there, just call me.

I also have a few friends there. If I can do it, I will definitely help you figure it out. "Wu Bingzhong patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder and told him.

"Hey, thank you, uncle." Sheng Xiping said nothing else and nodded in agreement.

"Brother, Yunfei will come with me later. Don't worry, I will definitely send her to school safely.

You don't have to worry about the company, I'll definitely keep it safe. "On the other end, Wu Yucheng assured Sheng Xiping.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then the time came. The radio called for ticket check, so Sheng Liancheng took his wife and children to check in and enter the station.

The train departed at 11 o'clock in the morning, and at almost 10 o'clock in the evening, the train arrived in Yanzhou. Sheng Liancheng took his wife and eldest son off the train, leaving Sheng Yunfang alone to continue riding to Shanghai.

Before getting off the bus, Zhang Shuzhen repeatedly told her daughter to be careful on the road, and left a lot of food for Sheng Yunfang, and then reluctantly got off the bus.

At ten o'clock, there must be no buses going to Xiaoyun Temple Fair, so Sheng Xiping and the others could only find a hotel to stay.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the three of them got on the bus and wandered all the way to Xiaoyun Temple Market Town, where they got off. Then they walked for more than ten miles back to Dazhaozhuang.

"Second brother, younger siblings, Xiping, why don't you send a message to your family when you come back? I asked Xizheng and the others to pick him up."

When Sheng Lianyi learned that his younger brother, sister-in-law and eldest nephew were back, he hurriedly greeted them and said as soon as they met.

"Brother, I returned to the forest farm. As soon as I heard that we were seriously ill, I hurried back. How could I bother to write a letter to my family? How are we doing?"

As soon as Sheng Liancheng saw his eldest brother, he eagerly inquired about his father.

"No, we can no longer get off the bed. The doctor said we just have to endure the day." Sheng Lianyi sighed, tears lingering in the circles of his eyes.

The old man is getting older and this day will come sooner or later, but as a child, even if he is mentally prepared, he still cannot accept it.

Sheng took three steps in succession and then entered the house in a hurry.

I saw my old father lying on the kang. He was much thinner and haggard than when he came back a few years ago, and he had no energy.

"Da, Da, I'm the second son. I'm back. Da, please open your eyes and look at me." Sheng Liancheng threw himself in front of the kang and choked with sobs.

"Old man, please open your eyes and take a look. It's our second son who's back, and he's bringing Shuzhen and Xiping with him."

Sheng Han was much more haggard than before. She slowly moved to her husband's side and spoke loudly in Sheng Guangyao's ear.

I don’t know whether it’s because the children and grandchildren are back, the old man has telepathy, or the old lady’s voice works.

Sheng Guangyao, who was asleep on the kang, slowly opened his eyes. His chaotic and lifeless eyes had no focus, and he just stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Da, it's me, Erxiao'er. Da, look at me."

Seeing his father like this, Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but feel sad. He stepped forward and held his father's hand, choking.

Sheng Guangyao, who was lying on the kang, opened his mouth and made a small sound in his throat, "Second son?"

"Yes, it's me, eldest, it's the second son who is back." Sheng Liancheng sat on the edge of the kang, holding his father's hand like a dead tree, and said in tears.

Sheng Guangyao nodded, "The second son is back? Okay, okay."

The voice was still weak, and it was obvious that the old man was indeed exhausted and was about to die.

"Brother, has our master seen a doctor? Didn't he go to the hospital?" Sheng Xiping asked Sheng Xizheng beside him in a low voice.

"The doctor in our village said that there is no point in going to the hospital for my master's illness." Sheng Xizheng sighed.

Sheng Guangyao is almost eighty. He suffered a lot in his early years and his body has long been exhausted. It is not easy to reach this age.

The old man said when he was awake that he didn't need to go to the hospital and spend all that money, just let him walk on this kang safely.

"Brother, where is the doctor in the village? I brought some ginseng and other supplements and asked the doctor if he could give me some."

Sheng Xiping felt uncomfortable seeing his grandfather like this.

He didn't know if ginseng was useful. Even if it could make his grandfather feel better, he would feel better.

When Sheng Xizheng heard this, he quickly sent someone to invite the doctor.

Not long after, a man carrying a medicine box came in. Sheng Xiping hurried over, talked to the man, and asked about the old man's specific condition, what medicine he was using now, and whether he could eat ginseng.

"I'll tell you the truth, ginseng may not be useful at this time. At most, it can make the old man feel better and feel better.

Anyway, if you have some in your hand, it doesn't hurt to use some, just to comfort yourself.

If not, don't even think about it. The medicine is very expensive and hard to find. You can find it in the county, but I don't have it here anyway. "The other party said.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he nodded. As long as eating it would not aggravate the condition, they were doing their best.

So, he asked if some other tonic medicines could be used. Anyway, he brought a lot of things on this trip, and the old man would use whatever was useful.

At this time, the doctor was dumbfounded and nodded repeatedly, saying that it could be used.

In this way, Sheng Xiping took out the red ginseng and deer antlers he brought and gave them to Sheng Xizheng's wife, asking her to find a way to slice them, make soup, and give them to the old man.

In fact, by this time, everyone knew in their hearts that the old man was just having a hard time.

But Sheng Xiping's thoughtfulness brought out so many precious nourishing medicinal materials, and everyone had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

What if it can be of some use? Even if they delay for a few days and let the old man stay a little longer, they can be considered as fulfilling their filial piety.

So, Sheng Xizheng's wife, with the help of Zhang Shuzhen, cooked the stew and boiled it, and fed the old man some.

Ginseng itself has the effect of restoring yang and relieving adverse events. When combined with velvet antler, it can greatly replenish vitality, nourish the spleen and lungs, promote fluid and blood, and nourish the heart and kidneys.

Anyway, after a few drinks, Sheng Guangyao's energy was obviously much better than before, and he was not always so drowsy.

I am awake much longer during the day, and I seem to have more strength to speak.

As a result, everyone felt a little hope, maybe the old man could survive this test.

Sheng Liancheng was even more delighted and quietly asked Sheng Xiping how much of the ginseng antler supplement he had brought and how long it would last.

“Dad, I still have some things, which should be enough for my father to use for ten days and a half.

If it's not enough, I'll call back and ask my eldest brother to help me with some more. "

The red ginseng was bought from the Great Alkali Farm, and it wasn't much. It was only two kilograms in total, and half of it was given to the Wu family.

Sheng Xiping was always out in the past two years and had no chance to go hunting in the mountains. The deer antlers were sent back by Huahua before. The family was not short of money, so they kept them without selling them.

Not much, just a pair of fine two-barred antler. One of them was given to the Wu family, and this one was brought over.

"Forget it, these things are not easy to find, so don't embarrass Yujiang." Sheng Liancheng shook his head.

Sheng Liancheng has been in the forest farm for so many years, and his son is good at hunting. What doesn’t Sheng Liancheng understand?

The deer haven't grown velvet yet, so where can I find good antler? You can't let Liu Yujiang go to the drugstore to buy it, right? So how different is it from buying from here?

"These are enough. If it really works, your father will be cured in ten and a half months." Sheng Liancheng said this, even he himself had no confidence.

Both father and son understood that the ginseng and deer antler stew only made Sheng Guangyao feel comfortable and energetic, but it might not have much effect on the disease.

They just tried their best to make the old man feel better as their children and grandchildren did.

The three of them just settled in their hometown and served the two elders of the Sheng family wholeheartedly.

Sheng Lianjie, who lives in the commune, has been coming back to visit his father every now and then since he fell ill.

When I learned that my second brother and sister-in-law and their eldest nephew were back, I rushed to bring my wife and children back for a reunion on Sunday.

Sheng Xiping's aunt, fourth uncle and others also found the opportunity to come back. The whole family was naturally very happy to see each other.

But every time I think of the old man's condition, everyone has to sigh.

Sheng Xiyun, who was far away in Yantai, somehow heard that Sheng Xiping and the others were back, so he came here with his son.

In the past few years, Sheng Xiyun has made a lot of money selling wood, apples, seafood, etc., and she knows a lot about it in her hometown.

But everyone didn't know that Sheng Xiyun was doing business with Sheng Xiping to make money. If they had known, they would have gone to Sheng Xiping long ago.

After all, life is hard here in my hometown. Every household doesn’t have much land, and they don’t have much money all year round. As long as there is a way to make money, who wouldn't want to get into it?

"Second uncle, my younger brother and elder brother Xiyun seem to be familiar to each other, right? How do they know each other?"

Sheng Xi was watching Sheng Xiyun and his son chatting very familiarly with Sheng Xiping as soon as they met. They seemed to be talking about some business matters, which was a bit strange, so he moved closer to Sheng Liancheng and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, one year Xiyun went to Northeast China to look for us.

Their company wanted to import a batch of coal from Songshu Town, and he didn't know anyone there. It was Brother Xie who came forward to help contact the person and sold him a trailer of good coal from OnePlus. That's how the two of them got to know each other. "

Sheng Liancheng was cautious and didn't tell his nephew too much.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife never mentioned that their son was making a lot of money by doing business outside.

Of course, when their family comes back, regardless of their clothing and other aspects, anyone with a discerning eye will know that they must be living a good life.

Zhang Shuzhen also has gold earrings on her ears and a gold ring on her hand. How have these people in her hometown seen this before?

The family members also asked around and over again, and Sheng Liancheng said that his daughter-in-law bought it when she went to study.

It's not that Sheng Liancheng and his wife are petty and even guard their own relatives. The main reason is that they don't want to cause trouble to Sheng Xiping.

What if the people in my hometown knew that Sheng Xiping was doing business outside and made a lot of money a year, and they asked Sheng Xiping to take them with him?

Say no, this is a close relative of flesh and blood, it would be too inhumane.

When I look back, I will tell people that my second wife's life is getting better, and I don't have anyone from my hometown in my heart.

But let's just say it's OK. These nephews from my hometown are not very educated and have little knowledge. They are afraid that they will not be able to help Sheng Xiping, but will only cause trouble.

Both couples know that it is not easy for the eldest son to do business outside. Not only is it hard work, but all parties have to take care of it. If anything goes wrong, the business will be ruined.

The couple couldn't help their son, at least they wouldn't cause trouble.

If Sheng Xiping took the initiative to ask his cousins ​​to help him, then Sheng Liancheng and his wife would definitely be fine.

But if their son doesn't tell them, they must not talk nonsense and try to get him everywhere. That would be cheating their own son.

"Oh, so that's what happened." Sheng Xizheng seemed to be a little confused, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to give up.
