The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Wang Xiang couldn't even raise her head because of the scolding from Shen's mother. The people who were working with her on the road were all looking at this side. People nowadays had no other entertainment activities except working. They could only gossip about other people's affairs. Any slight movement in someone's family would attract other people's attention.

Xiao Baoer brought Shen Xiuxiu and the three children back home, washed her hands, asked Shen Xiuxiu to wash the hands of the three children, and went to the kitchen to get breakfast.

After Xiao Baoer put breakfast on the table, Shen Xiuxiu had just finished washing the hands of the three children. Dabao and Erbao wiped their hands with their own towels. Then Dabao handed Sanbao's towel to Shen Xiuxiu, wiped Sanbao's hands, and took the children out to eat.

The three children sat on stools. Shen Xiuxiu stood there blankly, looking at the breakfast on the table. Dabao and Erbao said that there were meat buns, and they really were there. Not only meat buns, but also red bean paste buns and fried eggs. They were in a hurry in the morning to make porridge, so they each made a bowl of malted milk. Sanbao drank milk powder from a bottle.

Xiao Baoer called Shen Xiuxiu to sit down and let Sanbao drink the milk powder by himself with the bottle. Shen Xiuxiu saw that she didn't need to feed Sanbao, so she hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I will feed Dabao and Erbao."

Xiao Baoer smiled, "Look at how deliciously they are eating. Do they still need you to feed them? Eat quickly. Is it okay to eat those few mouthfuls of rice in the morning?"

When Dabao and Erbao saw their mother and aunt looking at them, they smiled at them innocently while eating their buns. They looked so adorable.

Xiao Baoer knew that when the original owner didn't care about the children before, it was often Shen Xiuxiu who took care of the three children. She often saved her own food rations for the eldest and second child, and spent any penny in her pocket on the three children. Even considering that Shen Xiuxiu had taken care of the three children for several years, it was also her responsibility to be nicer to Shen Xiuxiu.

Shen Xiuxiu felt embarrassed to eat more, so she only picked up one bun and started eating. Xiao Baoer then used a serving chopstick to pick up two fried eggs for her and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about eating at your third brother's house? Eat the eggs and buns, and drink the malted milk."

When Shen Xiuxiu saw Xiao Baoer's graceful and generous look, she knew that her third sister-in-law was really asking her to eat, so she smiled sincerely and lowered her head to eat.

Xiao Baoer brought her a military water bottle and said, "Xiu Xiu, this is an extra one at home. Take it. You can fill it with water to drink when you go to work. The weather is getting hotter. Bring more water."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

"You're welcome. I'll make you some malted milk and you can take it to the field and give it to mom and dad to drink. Remember to tell mom and dad to drink it and say it's water. Otherwise, there will be so many people in the field and someone will be jealous and say something bad."

It's no wonder Xiao Baoer thought too much. Most people can be poor together, but it's not okay if my family is poor and yours is good. Besides, if it's malted milk, Wang Xiang alone might be too greedy, and Shen's father and mother can't drink it either.

Xiao Baoer took the money and tickets, carried the backpack, and left the house with Shen Xiuxiu. Shen Xiuxiu went to work, and Xiao Baoer put the three children in a slightly cooler place, "Mom is leaving, I will buy you delicious food when I come back."

"Okay, Mom, I'll take good care of my brother."

"What a great baby."

Since there was no bicycle at home, Xiao Baoer could only walk to the town. If she was lucky, she could catch the ox cart in the village. But when Xiao Baoer thought about the feeling of riding in the ox cart and the gossips from the middle-aged and elderly women she might meet, she sighed and decided to walk.

There were people working on the road, and I couldn't take my bicycle out of the space. Fortunately, Xingfu Village was not far from the town, and it only took about 40 minutes to walk there.

It was easy to find the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town. The main reason was that private transactions were not allowed now, and it was illegal to do so, so all of them were state-owned. There were some small bungalows on the street, mainly supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned restaurants, post offices, etc.

The supply and marketing cooperatives were mainly established to facilitate the purchase of things by the general public. In this era, in addition to money, one also needed tickets to buy things, so Xiao Baoer took the 200 yuan and some tickets from the original owner's cabinet. In fact, they were all sent back by Shen Zhensheng.

Of course, the food supply for each person in the city is limited, so some people will take the risk to buy expensive food and meat on the black market. After all, speculation is not allowed now, and you never know whether you will end up having to eat peanuts.

There were quite a lot of people when I entered the supply and marketing cooperative. Nowadays, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

There were several sales clerks. As soon as Xiao Baoer entered, an older sister greeted her warmly and even called out Xiao Baoer's name. This was not surprising, as the original owner had often come to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to buy food and vanishing cream for herself.

The salesperson's name is Xie Lan, and Xiao Baoer calls her Sister Lan.

"Sister Baoer, you are here again today. Let's see what you need today?"

Xiao Baoer smiled at her kindly, "Sister Lan, please help me get 10 notebooks, 10 pencils, a stack of letter paper, a fountain pen, and a bottle of ink."

Sister Lan chatted with Xiao Baoer while taking things, "What else do you need, sister?"

"20 glass balls, 1 jin of peach cakes, 2 jin of White Rabbit candies, and 2 jin of egg cakes."

Sister Lan quickly took out and packed up the things Xiao Baoer wanted. Xiao Baoer then asked for two bottles of vanishing cream and Harry Oil, preparing to give them to Shen's mother and Shen Xiuxiu.

In fact, all the things bought today are already in Xiao Baoer’s space, but in order to make the things in the space clear, it is better to buy some simple things.

After paying the money and the ticket, I put my things in the backpack and was about to leave when a middle-aged woman walked in in a panic.

"Alan, can you find a way to get me some pork? My daughter-in-law just gave birth to her grandson and needs more nutrition."

"Aunt Wang, meat is hard to get right now. Several people have come to me these days and they all said they couldn't buy meat, rice, etc."

Xiao Baoer was originally planning to go to the black market, but when she heard that business was coming, she realized that it was time to go.

Xiao Baoer walked up to Aunt Wang and whispered, "Aunt, I hear you're very anxious. How much do you need? I'll go to my relatives and think of a solution."

Aunt Wang was overjoyed. "Really? That's great. I want two or three pounds. It would be even better if there were fish, rice, flour, etc."

"How about this, you wait for me in the alley at the intersection ahead. My relative's house is nearby, and I'll go check it out for you. How about that?"

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you there."

Aunt Wang hurriedly went to the alley to wait for Xiao Baoer. Xie Lan hurriedly stopped Xiao Baoer who was about to leave and said, "Sister, I just heard that your relatives can get meat and rice. Can you save some for me?"

"Okay, how much do you want, Sister Lan?"

"Pork, rice, and flour all need 20 kilograms, and if there are apples or something like that, 10 kilograms will be needed."

"Okay, Sister Lan, see if you can ask your colleagues to keep an eye on it for a while. You and Aunt Wang can wait for me there."

"Okay, sister, thank you."

Xiao Baoer left the supply and marketing cooperative and found a deserted place to take out the things that Sister Lan and Aunt Wang wanted from the space, and put the bought things back into the space. If Sister Lan asked later, she could say that the bought things were placed at a relative's house.
