The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 182 Because he was telling the truth after all

Shen's father also sat down to drink milk tea together. Shen Zhensheng gave some to each of the three children. Sanbao didn't drink enough and was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

"Baby, you've already drunk a lot today. You can't drink anymore. Look, your brothers are no longer asking for more. Mommy will make you some next time you want to drink. Be good."

Sanbao doesn't want to drink water now, and only wants to drink milk tea every day. If he doesn't drink, he will make a scene and cry. Although the family can afford it, Xiao Baoer still wants them to drink boiled water, and she also wants them not to develop the habit of throwing tantrums and forcing their parents to satisfy their wishes.

Sanbao stopped making noises and lay in his mother's arms, drinking the boiled water in the thermos cup obediently. Shen Zhensheng held him on his lap and fed him water, "You are so good. Let's drink more boiled water and grow taller."

When the two older ones heard their father say that drinking more boiled water would help them grow taller, they started clamoring to drink boiled water. From then on, they only drank a small cup of milk tea made by their mother every day.

Shen's father was very satisfied with the education of the third grandson and his wife. He just took the three grandsons out for a walk. The three grandsons were reciting poems all the same. Even Sanbao could recite them exactly, but he did not speak as fluently and clearly as his brothers.

Dabao said that all the poems were taught by his parents, as well as a lot of words, and he could count a lot of numbers. Moreover, his parents accompanied him in writing and reciting poems, and told him stories in the evening. Sometimes in the afternoon they would tell him stories about the little white rabbit and the big bad wolf.

The three older grandsons are smart, lively, and cute. They are sweet-spoken and polite. When they are taken out for a walk, they are praised all the way. When people praise them, the eldest and second grandsons will say thank you.

Old Man Li praised the three children for being so smart and cute. The three children immediately bowed. The eldest and second children also praised Grandpa Li, "Grandpa Li is also very cute. He is the cutest grandpa besides grandpa."

The three children made the old men laugh so hard that they all wanted to take the three children back to their own homes. Father Shen said proudly, "It's useless for you to take them away. My husband and I have taught them well. I'm afraid they won't know anything if I take them to your home."

The old men were so angry that they fumed and glared, but they had no way to refute him because he was telling the truth after all.

Father Shen never mentioned today's recruitment. That was not his concern. He just needed to take care of his three grandsons. The milk tea was quite delicious. Instead of worrying about other things, he might as well eat a few more cakes and drink a few sips of milk tea.

As for the eldest sister, since they have cut off ties, we don't care about them anymore. With the fourth sister's craftsmanship, she would be embarrassed to wear clothes for herself, let alone sew clothes to sell. She would sew two holes after sewing one hole. It's really terrible.

A few people were playing with the three children here, and Shen Xiuxiu and Jiang Yuqing ran over with great interest, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Yuqing and I have finished counting, and there are so many people who have signed up."

Jiang Yuqing was also very excited. She was shocked when so many people rushed forward to sign up. "Yes, Sister Baoer, you don't know how tight the crowd was just now. Most of the women in the village have signed up."

"I've thought about it a long time ago. It's impossible for everyone to just watch others make money and not do anything. This village is poor and winter is still long. How can we survive the winter if we don't make some money? I guess there will be a blizzard in a few days."

Shen Yongfu said with a worried look on his face, "The road is still blocked now. If it snows again, it is estimated that more houses in the village will be crushed. This road will be blocked for a long time. Although the village branch still has food, it cannot save so many people from the disaster."

Xiao Baoer felt that it was necessary to remind him, "Captain, are you worried about what to do if there is another blizzard?"

"Yes, every household in this village doesn't have much food, and they didn't buy that much when the food was distributed. Some families even secretly took the food they were distributed to the black market and sold it at a high price. They always thought that the family could just endure the hunger, so money is more important."

Some people are old-fashioned and do not know how to adapt. They always think that hunger can be overcome in a short time, and there is no need to keep so much food at home. They can just buy reserve food from the village after eating. However, there are many people who think like this, and the reserve food in the village is not enough.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng looked at each other. Xiao Baoer nodded, and Shen Zhensheng understood what she meant.

Shen Zhensheng opened his mouth and said to the captain, "Captain, I can ask my comrades to buy some more food to help our village. You can notify them on the loudspeaker that we must store food before the next blizzard comes. We don't know how many days the next heavy snow will close the mountain, so every family must prepare more food."

Shen Yongfu sighed and said, "I'll go shout it out on the loudspeaker. It doesn't matter whether they listen or not. I'll just inform them. I'll let them know exactly how many kilograms of grain I want to buy the day after tomorrow."

Shen Zhensheng nodded and continued, "Uncle, we have to remind them to prepare cotton as well. If not, prepare firewood. The kang must be well heated. We can't lose the big picture because of the small one."

Shen Yongfu nodded and drank the milk tea in the cup. He really wanted to quit this job. He would rather be safe. Other people would take their three grandchildren out to show off when they had nothing to do and let their three grandchildren recite poems to the old men. He might as well quit his job and stay at home to take care of his grandchildren.

Shen Zhensheng was still thinking about finding a way to go to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house again or wait for his brothers to come and deliver cakes, and then prepare something for his father-in-law and mother-in-law for them to take back.
