The retired rough man dotes on his mother

After they had cleaned up, it was time for dinner. Although the kitchen was fully equipped with pots, pans, and utensils, they still took their children out to eat local specialties.

"Son, let's just have a simple meal today. We'll have more tomorrow when mom and dad take you out to play."

"Good mother."

In the evening, I took the children to eat shengjianbao and porridge. At that time, shengjianbao was called shengjianmantou. The children loved eating shengjianbao before, and now they finally ate authentic local shengjianbao.

"Wife, eat more pan-fried buns. Let's go eat authentic marinated duck and braised pomfret tomorrow."

"Okay, where are we going to play tomorrow?"

"Let's take the children to see the ship. They haven't seen a ship yet."

Dabao looked up at his father and asked, "Dad, is the ship big?"

"You'll find out tomorrow. After we see the ship, Dad will take you around. Let's try to visit more places this summer."

The couple lived in Shanghai with their children for about a month. They took the children out to play every day and basically visited all the tourist attractions and old streets in Shanghai. The children ate delicious food every day and had their bellies full.

When the children do not go out during the day, they swing in the yard, drink tea and eat fruit with their parents. After dinner in the evening, the couple will take the children to see the night view. Whenever they arrive at a place, Shen Zhensheng will tell the children the name of the place and its history.

It doesn’t matter if the kids can remember the history and names, as long as they remember going to the places they’ve been to a lot since they were little.

"Mom, can we develop the photos we took when we get home?"

"Of course, we'll wash it out when we get home. Do you want to show it to your grandparents and uncle?"

Dabao nodded, "Yes, I want to show them the places we have been to. Grandpa and grandma have never been here."

The family stayed in Shanghai for about a month and then returned to the village. The children studied and practiced piano at home, and school started soon.

Xiao Baoer takes good care of the children. She thinks of ways to prepare delicious food for them every day. She not only makes sure that their nutrition is balanced, but also pays attention to whether the children have sore throats or feel any discomfort in their bodies.

Shen Zhensheng's work in the team was getting better and better. He had the opportunity to be promoted, but Shen Zhensheng refused the opportunity. He just wanted to work hard and spend more time caring for his wife and children.

Moreover, he and Xiao Baoer had discussed before that the college entrance examination would be resumed in 77, and he and Xiao Baoer were still thinking about taking the college entrance examination. Although Xiao Baoer's academic qualifications were definitely sufficient, she still wanted to be a translator, and in that era, she needed the corresponding academic qualifications.

As for Shen Zhensheng, he was going to do business in the future, so Xiao Baoer and the others discussed that a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. Although he would recruit some technically knowledgeable and capable people later, it would always be right for him to improve himself.

The two men discussed letting Shen Zhensheng resign from the transport team in early 76. They were both high school students, and they had enough time to manage the garment factory and prepare for the exam for another two years.

Everyone in the village is busy making money and living a good life. In the words of the team leader, even the number of people quarreling has decreased. It's not that they don't quarrel anymore, but they simply don't have the time to quarrel. They might as well do more work with that free time.

There is a heavy snowfall every winter, and this year is no exception. Even schools have been suspended because it is too cold and students cannot stay in school.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng will teach their children at home. Next year, the third child will be able to go to school, so when Xiao Baoer is teaching the first and second children, she will let them sit in front of her and listen, and let them understand as much as they can.

Xiao Baoer couldn't take the children out, so she played with them in the house. Shen Zhensheng came back in the snow, "Wife, it's snowing heavily outside, let's eat hot pot."

"Okay, let's have hot pot and roast some durian for the kids."

Shen Zhensheng prepared the soup base and ingredients first, and Xiao Baoer went to get the durian and grilled it. The children especially like to eat grilled durian after eating hot pot, and it has almost become a routine at home.

"Son, do you want shrimp paste? Or prawns?"

"Eat shrimp paste, shrimp paste is delicious."

The children usually like to eat shrimps, but when it comes to hot pot, they prefer to eat shrimp paste. The two younger ones also like to eat it. At the age of two, they have already eaten several hot pot meals with their parents.

Although we only let them eat a little each time, they still enjoyed the meal and could even drink half a bottle of milk for the taste of the hot pot.

"I've warmed up the dining room and the hot pot is cooking. Let's call the children over."

"Okay, I'll go call them," Xiao Baoer said as she went into the house to call the children, as they were about to eat hot pot.

Xiao Baoer brought all the children over and asked them to sit on their own little stools, waiting obediently for their parents to eat.

"Sons, be careful when eating. Don't get burned," Shen Zhensheng picked up shrimp paste for Tuantuan and Manman, and reminded his three sons.

"It won't be burned. We've eaten it many times," Sanbao said while eating his favorite shrimp balls and mutton. He liked the steaming feeling.

"Mom, do you have any tofu skin left? I want to eat some," Dabao asked his mother after he finished eating the tofu skin and saw that there was no more in the pot.

"Yes, mom will cook it for you. Eat it well. If it feels hot, drink some juice."

Dabao and Erbao are almost eight years old. Although they had poor foundation when they were young, Xiao Baoer has taken good care of them in the past few years. They have grown very tall and are expected to be taller than their father in a few years.

"Mom and Dad, eat too. The sausages and tripe are so delicious. Mom and Dad, you can try them," Erbao picked up a lot of delicious food for Mom and Dad and urged them to eat while they were hot.

"Okay, my son is really sensible."

The two little ones saw their parents and brother eating so happily that they also wanted to eat. They even gave up their favorite butterfly noodles with tomato meat sauce and just waited for their parents to feed them.

"Wife, why don't you give them some meat and vegetables cooked with tomato base. Look how greedy the two little guys are," Shen Zhensheng really couldn't bear to see his daughter and little son not being able to get their food.

"Okay, give them some beef and vegetables, and some shrimp paste."

When the two clever little kids heard that their mother agreed to let them eat hotpot, they quickly handed the bowls to their father and brother, and waited eagerly to eat.

"Thank you, Guoguo," Manman's little mouth was full of sweetness, which made Dabao dizzy. After a short while, she fed her a lot of delicious food.

Tuantuan followed suit, as long as he could eat delicious food.

After finishing the hot pot, Xiao Baoer gave them the roasted durian. Although they were full, they could still eat a little more with the roasted durian.

"We have a big family and we all love durian. One durian is just enough for us to finish," Xiao Baoer also gave a small piece to Tuantuan and Manman, as they had eaten it before. The two of them loved durian more than their brothers.

"Other people's children can't get used to eating durian, but our children can't get enough of it," Shen Zhensheng said with a smile.

"Next time I'll cook snail noodles for you to eat and see if you can get used to it."

Xiao Baoer said this to her three sons. Shen Zhensheng had eaten snail noodles with Xiao Baoer before. He couldn't accept it at first, but later he loved it.
