The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 262 shows that life has become better

Shen's father and mother, as well as Xiao's father and mother were sitting in the yard talking. Today the weather was nice and they all wanted to sit outside, feeling open-minded.

Shen Zhensheng brought them a pot of milk tea prepared by Xiao Baoer, and a fruit plate.

There were about ten children in the yard now. They were playing with toys in the house and now ran out to play. Xiao Baoer shouted at them to eat some fruit first before playing.

These fruits are rare. The three brothers Dabao eat them every day without thinking it’s anything special. The four children from Liu Ying’s family and the four children from her mother’s family all carefully picked up the fruits they had never seen before and ate them slowly, for fear that they would be gone after they were eaten.

"Brother, eat big bites. There are still a lot of them here. Mom said it's good to eat more fruits," Dabao picked up a piece of orange and handed it to Xiaohe.

Erbao also took some fruits to give to his older brothers and sisters. Sanbao, the clever little boy, ran to his grandparents and saw that they didn't touch the fruits on the table, so he picked up the fruits and shared them with them. This made the four old people very happy and they kept praising Sanbao for being clever.

"Wife, Sanbao's brain is really like yours. How can he be so smart?" Shen Zhensheng also saw the scene at the kitchen door and turned to say to Xiao Baoer.

"Of course my son looks like me, but I'm not as smart as him. I think Sanbao is a child with extraordinary intelligence, and such children are rare."

Liu Ying, Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang cooked, and Shen Laoer lit the pot. They quickly prepared the meal. Xiao Baoer had also prepared the hot pot soup base, so they could just cook the ingredients later.

Xiao's mother and sisters-in-law had never eaten barbecue and hotpot before. They liked the taste the first time they ate it. Shen Zhenjiang and Xiao Laosi could not keep up with the speed of everyone eating.

A dozen or so children also ate happily. After they finished eating, they took their own small plates to get what they wanted to eat, but they ate more barbecue.

"You see, there are more and more ways of eating nowadays. How could we have thought of eating like this when we were young?" Shen's mother sighed.

"It was hard for us to have enough food in the past, let alone eat like this. What does this mean? It means that our lives have gotten better, and our good days are yet to come," Xiao's mother also talked happily to Shen's mother.

The third and fourth sisters-in-law of the Xiao family will go to the town hospital to give birth next week. Today, Xiao Baoer specially asked Shen Zhensheng to serve each of them a portion of bird's nest and milk stewed eggs, but did not tell them that there was bird's nest in it.

"Little sister, how did you make this egg custard? Why is it so delicious?"

"It tastes a bit different from what we eat at home. This one has a milky taste."

Xiao Baoer listened to the two sisters-in-law's questions and answered, "This is fresh milk stewed eggs. Zhensheng tried different ways to make it and came up with this recipe."

"No wonder there's milk in it. We are all blessed today by my little sister."

Xiao's mother said, "You are not just thanking your younger sister for this, you are thanking your brother-in-law for this, because Zhensheng is so attentive and caring, and he thinks of ways to take care of your younger sister's health."

Shen Zhensheng blushed a little when he was praised, "Mom, my wife suffered so much giving birth to my child, shouldn't I take care of her more? Please don't praise me."

When several sisters-in-law heard what Shen Zhensheng said, they all joked about their husbands, "You guys should learn from Zhensheng."

"Okay, okay, let's learn. But we can't learn Shen Zhensheng's cooking skill. He is too skillful," the brothers said while eating the dishes cooked by Shen Zhensheng, and they really admired his cooking skill.

After the two families finished their lively meal together, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer went to the factory with Shen's father and Xiao's father to confirm the needed storage cabinets, stools and tables.

"Wife, let's put a locker here. Although there is one in the work room, this room is used to store fabrics and other things. We can put some needlework and other things in a locker. We can also put the notebooks for counting in it to avoid losing them."

"Okay, Dad, let's put a cabinet here too. What Zhensheng said makes sense."

Father Xiao took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down everything one by one, thinking that he had to go home and make what his daughter wanted as soon as possible so as not to delay the factory's commissioning.

"Dad, because there's another room full of sewing machines, the height of the stools is different."

"I know this. I have made stools of that height before, so I know how high they are. Don't worry, my girl. I guarantee that these tasks will be completed before your factory starts operations."

After taking a look, a few people didn't stay for long. They just ventilated the house and decorated it a little before starting work.

After returning home, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took out the wages of all the people in the Xiao and Shen families. Everyone came to work day after day, so the wages were the same.

Everyone said they didn't want anything, saying it was their own work and not worth asking for money.

However, Xiao Baoer would not let them work for nothing. When the Xiao family left, she still gave them all the money and things. After all, they all have to support their families and children. If they were asked to work for nothing, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng would not feel comfortable.

After the Xiao family left, Shen Zhensheng gave the wages and thank-you gifts of Shen's father and Shen Laoer to them. Shen's mother asked them to take them and put the money away and use it to make red envelopes for their unborn granddaughter and niece.

Liu Ying had already planned to give two big red envelopes to the baby in Xiao Baoer's belly. She didn't want people to say that the child's second aunt was stingy.

During this period, Liu Ying and Shen's mother made a lot of clothes for the child. They made all kinds of styles, but mostly for girls. Liu Ying had a pair of deft hands and even made a pair of small embroidered shoes for the child that could wear when she was over one year old.

Xiao Baoer likes handicrafts such as embroidered shoes very much, and she even said that she is reluctant to let her children wear them because they are so beautiful.

Just like last time, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took the work record book written by Shen's father and went to the village to thank every household who helped with the work. They also gave them money and thank-you gifts.

That night the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat, which made the lazy people in the village very greedy. They didn't want to work, but still wanted to eat meat. What a lie.

Mr. Shen's family was standing in the yard smelling the meat. Wang Xiang could smell it but couldn't eat it. She was so angry that she wanted to beat up her three daughters. But she couldn't bear to hit her precious son.

"Mom, I want to eat meat too. Go buy some meat for me," Xiaoshu was making a lot of noise at home.

Wang Xiang was heartbroken and coaxed him like a sweetheart, "Son, I want you to eat meat, but I don't have the money to buy it. Your grandma and grandpa kicked me out, so I can't do anything about it."

During the time Wang Xiang was in the police station, Xiao Shu had been disciplined and became much more obedient, but during this period, he has been spoiled by Wang Xiang and has become unruly.

"My grandparents are bad guys. They only love Xiaohe and Dabao. I'm going to beat them to death in the future."

He can say such things at such a young age, which shows how his parents have raised him. Wang Xiang did not scold him, but instead thought that his son had a promising future.

What a shitty future. He will just go down the same old path and end up in jail.

The three little girls didn't dare to say a word. They just stood aside with their heads down, afraid that Wang Xiang would notice them and beat them again.
