Military marriage, after refusing to support an ungrateful person, it is really sweet to marry the c

Luxury goods are always beautifully priced no matter what era they are in!

The Rolex watches that Shen Peifeng and others gave to Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan were a pair. Both were gold watches, which were even more expensive. They were sold at a sky-high price of 1977 yuan in 1588.

You have to know that in 1977, the average monthly salary of an ordinary worker in China was less than 30 yuan.

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 to Zhan Xinyue, "Sister-in-law, we are a family. The Shen family's property belongs to you. Why are you being polite to us? If you want to make a clear calculation like this, then how do you calculate 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 smiled and brought out a big cake from the kitchen.

"I made this myself. I'm a bit pressed for time. Xinyue, take a look and see if you like it."

As Zhan Xinyue approached, the unique fragrance of the cake instantly spread to her nose, "It smells so good." The raw materials that can be bought in Beijing are much more than those on the islands. 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 skilled. The whole picture is simple and beautiful.

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

In the past, Dong Wushuang made cakes for Sheng Tunan’s birthdays herself, and her craftsmanship improved year after year.

In the 70s, singing Happy Birthday was not popular in China, nor was there a custom of blowing out 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 each of 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."

It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away.

This time, Zhan Xinyue did not refuse politely, but took it generously, "Thank you, Dad."

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

The box is a little oxidized. Gold has been strictly controlled in the past decade or so, so it is impossible to blatantly make it into a fine-needle style, and no merchant dares to sell it.

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

"You learned from Master Zeng, so the same goes for you. And you have saved my life twice." Shen Min'e smiled kindly.

He knew that Zhan Xinyue had a high talent for medicine, and Shen Min'e hoped that his daughter-in-law could promote traditional Chinese medicine.

However, he did not say this. Everyone has different ideals. As a qualified elder, Shen Min'e would never impose his wishes on the younger generations.

All the gifts have been given out and 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 if he had told her about her saliva allergy.

Zhan Xinyue’s allergy is not that serious. If it is just from eating, at most she will get a little red rash on her face, which will disappear automatically after an hour or two.

Sheng Tunan shook his head, indicating that he didn't say it. Since it involved his wife's personal safety, Shen Tunan didn't dare to tell even the closest people.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust her, it’s that he can’t afford the consequences of losing Zhan Xinyue!

"Xinyue, have a big chicken leg." Dong Wushuang used the serving chopsticks to pick up a big chicken leg 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 seemed to be hesitant to speak.

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

"Xinyue, do you have some mysophobia?" Dong Wushuang said, "We are all family, you should have told us earlier. There are three overseas students in our family. When the second child was studying in Luo Country, his mentor had mysophobia. 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 mysophobia, so she started using serving chopsticks. She asked, "Mom, how did you know?"

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

After listening to what Dong Wushuang said, Zhan Xinyue didn't explain. The reason of mysophobia was a good one and could be used for future gatherings.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

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

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

Shen Zhiyan came running over and opened the gate himself to let his partner in. If there weren't so many people around, he would definitely hold the hand of the partner he hadn't seen for many days and missed very much.

He Yaqin handed him the big bag and said, "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 be back tomorrow?"

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

"No, no." Shen Zhiyan waved his hands anxiously. Last time, it was because of his rude words that his girlfriend ran away to the island. Now he has learned his lesson and spoke as if his mouth was smeared with honey.

"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 because she had good news to share with her.

"At home, come on, we've just started eating, I'll go prepare the dishes and chopsticks for you." As they were talking, they had already arrived at the dining room. 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 his girlfriend.

"Okay." The two families were neighbors. When she was a child, He Yaqin liked the dishes made by Master Chen, so she often came to the Shen family for dinner. Now, coming here, it was like going home. She sat down without any pretense. First, she called Uncle Shen and Aunt Dong affectionately, congratulating them for finally finding their eldest son. The whole family was together and they would have a good life in the future.

The couple smiled happily. Shen Zhiyan brought bowls and glasses and poured wine for them. He Yaqin raised her glass and said with a smile, "I brought back some good news from the island. Come, let's drink this first and then I'll tell you what the good news is."

"You are just a ghost." Dong Wushuang shook his head helplessly, but still picked up the wine glass. Shen Min'e had just fainted, and now he didn't dare to drink, so he honestly poured a glass of orange juice.

Zhan Xinyue can drink, but the weather is hot, and Sheng Tunan feels sorry for his wife, so he replaces the white wine with red wine.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

"What good news? Tell us quickly so that we can all be happy." Shen Zhiyan put down his wine glass and urged He Yaqin to speak quickly.

He Yaqin didn't keep the secret and said directly: "Yan Moli, who wrote the report letter, was arrested and is now locked up. Hahahaha."

Everyone present knows that Sheng Tunan was framed and wrote a letter of denunciation, but no one knows who wrote the letter of denunciation.

Zhan Xinyue knew about it, so she took over the conversation and asked, "How do you know it was written by her?"

"I don't know whether to say she is smart or stupid."

He Yaqin took a sip of wine and said slowly: "She has a fellow villager named Wang Xinyi, who is the female conductor at the show. She caught Yan Moli and destroyed the evidence."

He Yaqin thought Zhan Xinyue didn't know who Wang Xinyi was, so she explained it to her. Zhan Xinyue nodded, "I know her, she's the only female soldier in the special operations platoon."

Seeing that Zhan Xinyue knew, He Yaqin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Wang Xinyi is from the special warfare platoon, which is under the charge of your wife. The people in their platoon know what kind of person Captain Sheng is. When they saw him being taken away, they thought he must have been framed, so they secretly investigated who wrote the report letter."

Several people gathered together to check the suspicious people one by one. Sheng Tunan didn't talk much in the army, but he had a good reputation. As the head of the regiment, although he was strict during training, he was very kind to the soldiers. When he went to the battlefield, he was also at the forefront and saved many lives.

Moreover, Sheng Tunan's military exploits were all earned by sacrificing his life in real combat, and everyone was convinced. The officers and soldiers respected and admired Sheng Tunan and would never write a letter of denunciation.

If it's not about career and Sheng Tunan doesn't have any financial disputes, then it can only be an emotional issue.

After everyone discussed it, they all felt that Yan Moli, who was unable to get the love she wanted, was the biggest suspect.

Wang Xinyi and Yan Moli are from the same hometown and both live in the female soldiers' dormitory, so she is the one who monitors Yan Moli's every move.

Everything must have a trace.

Wang Xinyi firmly believed that Yan Moli would eventually reveal her true colors.

"Yaqin, have a meatball first." Halfway through the conversation, Shen Zhiyan was afraid that his girlfriend would be hungry, so he scooped a bowl of meatball vermicelli soup for He Yaqin.

"Yeah." He Yaqin was indeed hungry. The food on the train was not tasty. In order to quickly tell Zhan Xinyue the good news, He Yaqin went home to put down her luggage, took a shower, changed clothes, and hurried to Shen's house without eating a single bite.

He Yaqin ate two meatballs in a row and drank a mouthful of soup before continuing, "Sister Xinyue, Yan Moli really made me laugh to death. She was afraid that the handwriting of the report letter would be recognized, so she deliberately wrote it with her left hand. But she couldn't write well with her left hand at first, so she practiced several times."

When she had finally practiced enough, she hurried to mail the letter. That day, she met Niu Zhijian in the town, and her heart was moved. After she came back, she began to fantasize about being in a relationship with a blushing heart, and completely forgot the draft paper she had written before.

Later, Sheng Tunan was taken away, and Yan Moli was proud for a day and a night.

However, Commander He called Brigade Commander Li and told him that Sheng Tunan was framed, and asked Brigade Commander Li to investigate who wrote the letter of complaint.

Yan Moli was frightened, and then she remembered that she had the draft paper she had practiced with her left hand. She hurriedly found it, and ran to the beach to burn it in the dead of night.

When Wang Xinyi saw Yan Moli sneaking out in the middle of the night, she followed her. She was from the special operations platoon and it was not the first time she had followed someone. Yan Moli did not realize that there was a living person following her.

When she reached the beach and took out her draft paper and was about to light a match, she was caught red-handed by Wang Xinyi.

“Hahahahahahaha,” He Yaqin laughed loudly, “This guy really deserves it. He destroys it when he can’t get it. He’s really a pervert.”

Shen Zhiyan showed a look of astonishment, and looked at the object with a question mark on his face, "What can't I get?"

He Yaqin glared at Shen Zhiyan, "You are stupid, it must be your eldest brother. Yan Moli saw that Captain Sheng got married and knew that she had no chance. Since she couldn't get it anyway, she would not let Captain Sheng have an easy time."

"How vicious." Shen Peifeng commented.

"Fortunately, there was no danger this time. If eldest brother had not met our father, and if father had not asked Grandpa He for help, wouldn't eldest brother and sister-in-law really have been investigated?" Shen Zhixian continued.

Shen Fuyao patted his brother on the head and lectured him, "Do you think the military leaders can't tell right from wrong? That report letter is full of loopholes and has no substantive evidence. How could they possibly investigate my brother and sister-in-law?"

"If our father had not met with eldest brother and had not asked Grandpa He to help find eldest brother's information, based on the content of this report letter, eldest brother and his wife would not have to be brought back to the capital."

Coming back was completely Commander He's plan. He sent people to bring Sheng Tunan and his wife back to reunite with the Shen family.

"Oh oh," Shen Zhixian was beaten by his sister and had no temper at all. After all, he had been living like this since he was a child.

"Come, let's drink." Shen Zhiyan raised his glass and everyone drank it all.

After three rounds of drinking, the parents began to urge them to get married. Dong Wushuang looked at Shen Peifeng and Shen Fuyao, and said angrily: "Second brother, third brother, one of you is 23 and the other is 21, why don't you have a partner yet? Look, the fifth brother is only 19 years old this year and is about to get engaged. As brothers and sisters, aren't you ashamed?"

In the 70s, young men generally got married at the age of , and girls generally got married at the age of .

Shen Peifeng didn't say anything. He had fair skin and his face turned red from drinking. He smiled at his mother with a red face, trying to get away with it.

Shen Fuyao refused directly: "Mom, I'm still young and don't want to get married."

"21 is still young?" Dong Wushuang put down his chopsticks, frowned, and raised his voice a little: "When I was 21, I gave birth to your eldest brother and second brother."

"Now, while I'm still young, you can get married and have children earlier, and I can help you take care of them..."

Before she uttered the word "child", Dong Wushuang caught a glimpse of her eldest son who was picking fish bones for Zhan Xinyue. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind and her expression changed 180 degrees. She smiled and said, "Xinyue, if you and Tunan want a child now, Mom can help you take care of it."

"Xinyue, look, your grandmother gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and I gave birth to twins. If you also give birth to twins, it will be too much for one person to handle. When the time comes, mom will help you take care of one."

After Dong Wushuang finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and continued, "Mom is an experienced person. I raised all four of them. If you give birth to twins, I will help you take care of them. Xinyue, just give birth and leave everything else to me."
