Chapter 16

Sheng Kangning pondered for a while, and seeing that it was still early, he lay on his side for a while.

After her sisters Sheng Fengjiao and Sheng Fengxiang, who were lying outside, got up, she got up immediately and smelled a strong smell of smoke in her nose.

In the morning, every household was lighting the coal stove.

It’s summer now, so there’s no need to keep a fire going at night. If you do, you’ll have to burn an extra coal cake.

One coal cake a night, that’s thirty a month.

In the hot summer, that’s a waste.

So when I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is to light a fire.

When Sheng Kangning came out of the room, he saw Sheng Fengjiao helping Yang Chunling make breakfast.

Rarely, Sheng Fengxiang did not go, but stood in front of the window, silent with a cold expression.

The Sheng family’s breakfast is simple.

The porridge is served with a plate of pickles and a few pancakes.

I didn’t use enough oil when making the pancake, so it looked dry and not appetizing.

I guess it’s because my younger brother Weidong is not at home!

If Weidong were here, breakfast would not be like this. Even if it was a pancake, it would be a scallion pancake with more oil and taste delicious.

Weidong also has a boiled egg every morning.

I don’t know whether Sheng Fengjiao has it or not, but Sheng Kangning and Sheng Fengxiang definitely don’t have it.

At the dinner table, Sheng Kangning and Sheng Fengxiang were both very quiet.

Sheng Fengjiao and Yang Chunling were chatting and laughing. Sheng Fengjiao said that she had applied for the vacant dormitory in the hospital and would move all her things there today.

After that, I lived in the dormitory and went home during holidays.

The pancakes are too dry and it’s so choking to eat them dry!

Sheng Kangning tore the cake into small pieces and soaked them in the porridge until they were softened before eating.

Wait until the mother-daughter love story is over.

Sheng Kangning had also finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Yang Chunling.

Yang Chunling noticed that Sheng Kangning was staring at her and asked with a smile:

“What’s wrong, Kang Ning? Is it not enough? I still have some left. Let me give it to you!”

As he said this, he picked up his bowl and pretended to pour the remaining half of the porridge in the bowl to Sheng Kangning.

Sheng Kangning quickly waved his hands.

“No, Mom, I’m done eating. I want to go out and buy some food today.”

As soon as they heard about buying something, everyone in the family looked over.

The movement was so uniform.

Even Sheng Hongqi, who usually didn’t care about her at all, looked over and frowned, as if Sheng Kangning had said something that shouldn’t have been said.

Sheng Kangning has been thinking about how to ask for money.

Although her stepmother was clearly smiling, Sheng Kangning could still see her unhappiness, as well as her grandmother’s mean face and the surprise on Sheng Hongqi’s face.

Sheng Fengjiao had a smile on her face, but she really wanted to hear how Sheng Kangning would ask her mother for money.

In this family, Sheng Fengjiao is the one who speaks sweetly.

For a sweet-talker like her, it’s wishful thinking and impossible for her to get money out of Yang Chunling’s pocket.

Sheng Kangning smiled, pushed the bowl aside, and reached out to Yang Chunling:

“Mom, please give me my share of the subsidy for going to the countryside! I heard from my classmates that the subsidy for going to the countryside is unified, with 30 yuan and 20 kilograms of national grain coupons.

A poor family is rich on the road. When you go out, you always have to carry some money with you. “

Yang Chunling looked at her in surprise.

I guess he didn’t expect Sheng Kangning to say it so bluntly.

Grandma Wang Cuilian’s face darkened immediately, and she started to curse angrily, her mean eyes full of disgust:

“You damn girl, are you itching for money? You don’t do any work all day and you still want money! How dare you do that?

Doesn’t it cost money to raise you to this age?

It’s just a few dozen yuan in subsidies, and you still have the nerve to ask for it, not to mention using it for your family!”

Sheng Kangning never understood why her grandmother didn’t like her.

Even though she is a girl, her last name is Sheng!

It’s the child of Sheng family!

But Grandma Wang Cuilian’s dislike for her never changed from beginning to end.

Sheng Kangning looked at Wang Cuilian and explained in a good-tempered manner:

“Grandma, don’t you know? The subsidies for going to the countryside are for the educated youth who go to the countryside. There is also a special counter for educated youths over there in the department store, which is used to supply daily necessities for these educated youths who go to the countryside.”

After saying that, Sheng Kangning took out a ticket from his pocket. There was a seal of the Youth Office on it. He shook it:

“This is a ticket issued by the Youth Office to every educated youth who went to the countryside. My mother gave it to me a few days ago. I asked a classmate yesterday and he said that if I take this ticket to the Youth counter, I can buy things at a cheaper price.”

Sheng Fengxiang, who had been silent all this time, also reached out to Yang Chunling:

“Mom, there’s also mine! I’ll go to the educated youth counter with Kang Ning later!”

Yang Chunling was so angry that she wanted to roll her eyes. She glared at Sheng Fengxiang fiercely. Why was this damn girl joining in the fun?

Sheng Fengxiang still doesn’t know that Yang Chunling never reported her name.

Yang Chunling suppressed her anger, looked at Sheng Kangning, and said in a gentle and amiable voice:

“Kang Ning, I got a piece of cloth a few days ago. The material is very good and the color is bright. I liked it the first time I saw it. I wanted to make a skirt for you. I asked someone to make it for me. It was just finished yesterday. Please wait.”

After saying that, Yang Chunling stood up, went into the room, and came out after a while holding a skirt in her hand.

Sheng Kangning remembered that skirt, the peach pink color.

It was not prepared for her in her previous life, because she didn’t know about the subsidy for going to the countryside.

This dress was prepared for Sheng Fengjiao’s blind date.

This is about subsidies for going to the countryside. Yang Chunling didn’t want to pay, so she used this skirt to pay for it!

That’s a nice thought!

Looking at Yang Chunling’s smiling face, Sheng Kangning just felt disgusted.

It was this face and Yang Chunling’s gentle voice that coaxed Sheng Kangning for so many years and made him work like a slave for this family.

Yang Chunling asked Sheng Kangning to stand up and held the peach pink skirt in front of Sheng Kangning and gestured.

“Oh, look, it’s quite suitable! And this color, only our Corning can match it! Corning panels are great!”

What is suitable?

Sheng Kangning is shorter than Sheng Fengjiao.

The skirt reaches Sheng Kangning’s ankles.

If it were a little longer, I would stumble when walking!

Sheng Kangning secretly glanced at his elder sister Sheng Fengjiao, and saw that Sheng Fengjiao was staring at the skirt in Yang Chunling’s hand with a gloomy face.

It seems that my elder sister likes this skirt too!

When I looked away, I inadvertently glanced at Sheng Fengxiang and found that she was also staring at the skirt.

Sheng Kangning knew that Sheng Fengxiang had an appointment with Li Dagang for a blind date at noon today.

It seems that both sisters want this skirt!

Then…

You two sisters, grab it! Whoever gets it first gets it!

Sheng Kangning pretended to be happy and touched here and there, with a smile on his face, as if he couldn’t let go of it:

“Mom, where did you get it? The color is so pretty! The style of the skirt is great too!”

Yang Chunling smiled and said:

“It looks good, doesn’t it? But this piece of cloth is really not cheap. Plus the labor cost of making this skirt, it costs three dollars!”

“It’s so expensive! What a shame!”

Sheng Kangning held the skirt and tried it on her body, then said with regret:

“It’s a pity that I can’t wear it, the skirt is too long!” After saying that, she looked at her elder sister Sheng Fengjiao and said, “Sister, you are tall, it will definitely look good on you!”

After a pause, Sheng Kangning looked at Sheng Fengxiang again and said with a smile: “Third sister is taller than me and can wear it too!”
