The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 433: We can go anywhere as long as our family is together

The family changed into the New Year clothes prepared by Xiao Baoer in the morning. Xiao Baoer also combed Manman's hair and tied two beautiful braids.

"Mom, I want to put on some perfume too. I want to be as beautiful as you," Manman saw her mother putting on some perfume and started clamoring to put it on too.

"My daughter, come here, daddy will put some perfume on you," Shen Zhensheng came in from outside and started calling Manman.

Shen Zhensheng rubbed Tuan Tuan and Man Man with perfume. Dabao and the other two brothers can now take care of themselves, so their parents don't have to worry about them at all.

In the morning, there were people coming to our house to pay New Year's greetings continuously. Most of them were workers from the factory, some from our village and some from other villages, and some even brought their children.

Although Dabao and his friends are not familiar with those children, they still entertain them warmly.

People who come to pay New Year's greetings will give Dabao and his friends several red envelopes, and Xiao Baoer will also give red envelopes to other people's children. There are many children in the family, and in order to prevent the other party from suffering a loss, Xiao Baoer always puts more money in the red envelopes for other people's children.

After the fifteenth day of the New Year, the couple took their children to the town. The children would start school soon, so they had to go to the town to dry their quilts and pillows, and change their sheets and quilt covers.

This time, they brought Shen's father and mother to the town to stay for a few days. After they had stayed in the town long enough, they took a ox cart back to the village.

This is mainly because Shen's father and mother are still attending night school in the village, and they don't want to miss their classes every night.

The three children no longer need their father to pick them up from school. Every day after breakfast, they go out to school and come back from school with their schoolbags after school.

"Mom, let's make sweet and sour pork for lunch tomorrow. A classmate in our class had sweet and sour pork for lunch today. If I hadn't kept a close eye on him, Sanbao would have eaten someone else's," Dabao said while eating dinner in the evening.

"Son, did someone give you sweet and sour pork for lunch today?" Shen Zhensheng asked Sanbao nervously.

It's not Shen Zhensheng's fault for making a fuss. Sanbao's stomach has always been in poor condition. Although Xiao Baoer gave him Lingquan water and adjusted his body, for some reason, the Lingquan water couldn't solve Sanbao's stomach sensitivity problem.

"Well, he wanted to thank me for helping him with the questions, so he gave me a piece of sweet and sour pork. But he whispered to me that the pork was a little cold so he didn't let me eat it. He also asked me to give two pieces of beef to my classmates to thank him."

Sanbao is young, so Dabao needs to take care of many things for him. Fortunately, Dabao is very careful and takes good care of his younger brother.

"That's fine, son. You have a bad stomach and can't eat cold food. If your classmates offer you food and you can't refuse, you can do what your brother did, politely thank them and return the gift, but you can't just eat anything," Shen Zhensheng told Sanbao.

"I know, Dad. I will secretly pass the food to my brother."

Xiao Baoer also told Sanbao, "Son, if you want to eat sweet and sour pork, mom will make it tomorrow morning, and then ask dad to send it to you at school."

"Okay, thank you, mom."

In the past, classmates and teachers at school did not know the family situation of Dabao and the other two. However, there were many children from the village in the school, so the family situation of Dabao and the other two became known to their classmates and teachers.

However, Dabao and his two brothers did not pay attention to all this. They studied hard at school every day. Their parents told them that no matter what their family conditions were, the most important thing was to have real abilities.

"Son, have you finished learning the knowledge of the first semester of the second year of junior high school?"

"I've finished learning it. I started learning it during my holidays," said Sambo.

"My second child and I haven't finished learning yet. We only have about one third left," Dabao answered his mother following Sanbao's words.

"Son, we will probably move to Beijing City during the New Year, and you will stay in Beijing City to go to school. Are you willing?"

"Yes, we will go wherever mom and dad go, as long as we are together as a family."

The two younger brothers’ answers were the same as Dabao’s. It didn’t matter where they went, as long as the family was together.

"Mom and Dad promised that our family will go to Beijing together, to many places, and our family will always be together."

Shen Zhenjiang and Jiang Yuqing sometimes bring Xiangxiang to the town with them. When they have nothing to do, they read and review books, and they are now reviewing quite well.

"Third sister-in-law, you have tidied this yard very well. There is even a shed here for the children to play," Jiang Yuqing and Xiao Baoer were playing with the children in the yard.

"This is not my credit. It was all built by your third brother. He built the pavilion thinking that we could sit under the shed when we have nothing to do or when there are guests."

Shen Zhensheng washed a plate of fruit and put it on the table in the shed. After several people sat down, they called Tuan Tuan, Man Man and Xiang Xiang to eat fruit together.

"Third sister-in-law, you haven't been in the village recently so you may not know. I heard that the educated youths fought tooth and nail for a place to return to the city, and in the end it was given to Liang, the educated youth who used to teach Dabao and the others," Shen Zhenjiang said.

Xiao Baoer couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these people could obviously return to the city quickly through other means, but they tried their best to get a chance to return to the city, and now they have ended up losing more than they gained.

"Liang Zhiqing is considered to be a more down-to-earth person among the educated youth. She deserves this position."

The two of them stayed in the town with their children until the evening before returning to the village with Zhou Bao. Dabao and the other three would not be able to finish school until later.

After the three children came back, Tuantuan told his brothers about Xiangxiang's visit to their home. They even felt a little regretful that they couldn't play with Xiangxiang.

"Mom and Dad, we had an exam today. The three of us did very well, but Sanbao did the best," Dabao showed his test paper to his parents.

"My three sons are so awesome. How can I be so lucky as a mom to have three such awesome sons?" Xiao Baoer touched her three sons' heads.

"Mom, Manman is also smart, and your daughter is also smart," Manman squeezed into her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.

"Tuantuan is the smartest, Dad, right?" Tuantuan asked Shen Zhensheng while sitting on his lap.

"Every child of mom and dad is smart, the smartest," Shen Zhensheng said equally.

The busiest time of the day at home is when the three children come back. After a while of being lively, the children will start doing their homework and finish their homework just in time for dinner.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng did not take the children out to play this summer. The college entrance examination will be resumed in a few months, and they want to review more thoroughly. Anyway, they have plenty of time to go out and play.

As soon as the holiday came, the family of seven returned to the village. Mr. and Mrs. Shen and Mr. and Mrs. Xiao missed their children, and the children also wanted to see their grandparents.

"Honey, are you nervous? There are not many days left until the exam."

"Don't be nervous. Your husband has been to the battlefield. Why should you be nervous about an exam? Besides, we have reviewed so thoroughly together, so we will definitely get good grades."

Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer have always had a good attitude, and they are quite confident in the knowledge they have mastered. After all, they have been reviewing seriously together for such a long time.

"Well, after we finish our exams this year and the children have their winter vacation, we will take our parents to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. This time we have to prepare just like we would for moving."

The two of them agreed to take their parents to Beijing. Not only Xiao's father and mother, but also Shen's father and mother would go.

If nothing goes wrong, Shen Laowu, Jiang Yuqing and Shen Xiuxiu will be successfully admitted to universities in Beijing, and their parents can help take care of the children.

As for their brothers and sisters at home, the two of them had already made plans.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng will open a store and do business in the future, so they will definitely need a lot of manpower. Instead of hiring others, it is better to hire their own family members. Besides, they are not like some people who are never satisfied and always want to suck blood from them.
