The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng took everyone to various places in Beijing. Both adults and children had a lot of fun and were very curious. They asked questions along the way, and Shen Zhensheng answered them patiently and carefully.

"Dad, don't you think it would be great if we could live in the big city forever? Our whole family could be together," Dabao said to his parents before going to bed at night.

"Yes, in a few years our whole family will move to Beijing. Every year during the holidays, mom and dad will take time to take you to Shanghai and Guangdong Province. This way you can see a bigger world."

The children were very happy, "Yeah, mom and dad are so nice."

A few days before the New Year, the family just played around and prepared things for the New Year. The Shen family also went to the Jiang family to visit Jiang's father and mother. The Jiang family also often came to Xiao Baoer's house to eat and chat together. The whole yard was very lively.

"Dad, Mom, come and pick me up," Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng had been out for the whole afternoon. When they came back, they were carrying large and small bags in their hands. They started calling for people as soon as they entered the door.

"What did you buy? Isn't everything already bought for the house?" asked Shen's mother and Xiao's mother.

"Mom, these are the clothes that Baoer and I bought for our family. Although we have bought a lot of clothes recently, this is your first time to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, so you still have to wear brand new clothes."

Xiao Baoer and the other two put down their things and quickly poured themselves some water to drink. It was really hard to carry so many things.

The clothes here were all taken by Xiao Baoer and her friends from the space. They are of the best styles and quality.

In the afternoon, the two of them went out to trade two batches of supplies. They were all Shen Zhensheng's previous regular trading partners, and it didn't take much time to complete the transaction and return.

The two of them went out to enjoy some time alone, taking a walk and chatting together, and only came back with their things when they saw that it was almost time.

"You two kids are really something. You always think about us. We are older now, so what we wear during the New Year is different."

Although the elderly say that there is no need to buy, they will still be very happy if their children think about them.

"Dad and Mom, we will have good days from now on, so don't be reluctant to spend money," Xiao Baoer also advised the four elderly people.

"Okay, okay. We'll listen to you."

Before Xiao Baoer and the other two could rest, Jiang Yuqing and Shen Zhenjiang also came back. Jiang Yuqing was holding the baby Xiang Xiang, and Shen Zhenjiang was holding a bunch of things in his hands.

"Old Five, what did you guys bring back? Your third brother and his wife also brought back a lot of bags."

"Dad, Mom, Zhenjiang and I bought new clothes and shoes for you, your uncle, your aunt, and the children. My mom said that we should wear new clothes for the New Year, so she specifically asked us to buy them. If she wasn't busy with work, she would have bought them herself."

"You said that our in-laws still have to worry about us when we come here. I feel so uncomfortable," said Shen's mother.

"Okay mom, shouldn't we buy things for you?"

The whole family has now added two new sets of clothes. The children are the happiest. Thinking about how they can play with other children now, they go to play with their brothers and sisters as soon as they get home.

"Mom, Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow. Let's make dumplings with different fillings and cook a few more dishes. We'll invite Yuqing's parents to come to our house for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"Okay, your father and I will go and invite you then."

This year's New Year was celebrated by the three families together. They made several kinds of dumplings, and Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng also prepared several delicious dishes. The three families spent the New Year together.

After the children received the red envelopes, Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang took them to set off firecrackers in the yard. The festive atmosphere was still very strong.

"Wife, happy new year," Shen Zhensheng said to Xiao Baoer.

"Hubby, Happy New Year. This is our third New Year together. We will be together year after year."

This is the third year since Shen Zhensheng retired from the army, and it is also the third year that he truly owns Xiao Baoer and the children.

Before returning to the village, my parents wanted to go to the department store. They have sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren at home. It would be unreasonable not to buy some things for their grandchildren when they came to Beijing.

Moreover, they didn't let Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer pay for it. These were things they bought for their grandchildren, so how could they spend their son, daughter-in-law and daughter and son-in-law's money?

However, Xiao Baoer and Jiang Yuqing also brought gifts for their family. A harmonious and peaceful life is a good life.

"Dad, Mom, we have bought our train tickets, sleeper tickets. We will take the train tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let's pack up and rest early today."

As soon as they got on the train the next day, Shen Zhensheng felt relieved only after he saw his parents into the sleeper compartment. With the experience of taking the train when they came here, they seemed much more calm this time.

"Dad, Mom, you can eat some of these snacks when you are free. I will buy them and bring them to you when it is time to eat. Don't get lost." Shen Zhensheng prepared food and drinks for them before he felt relieved.

"Don't worry, we won't go out and wander around. It's fine for the four of us to talk. You can go back and take care of the kids."

After Shen Zhensheng entered the box, he locked the door. Xiao Baoer was watching the children drinking milk powder.

"Is the child hungry?"

"Yes, they got up too early in the morning and didn't sleep well. I made some milk powder for them to coax them to sleep. The two little ones are almost asleep."

Shen Zhensheng sat in front of Tuan Tuan and Man Man and patted them gently. They fell asleep as soon as they finished drinking the milk powder. The three sons were still drinking milk, so it would probably take a while for them to fall asleep.

"Mom, I will practice piano well when I get home. I haven't touched the piano for several days," Sanbao said to his mother after drinking milk.

"Then practice more after you get home and practice all the songs you learned before."

The three sons were tired from playing and fell asleep as soon as they turned over in bed. Shen Zhensheng covered them with quilts.

"Wife, are you sleepy?"

"I'm a little sleepy. I want to take a nap."

Shen Zhensheng asked her to lie down as well, "Go to sleep. You got up too early in the morning. You'll have a headache if you stay up too long."

Xiao Baoer fell asleep not long after she lay down. Tuantuan and Manman subconsciously snuggled into their mother's arms, sleeping soundly beside her.

Thanks to the care of Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang, Shen's father and mother and Xiao's father and mother did not feel any discomfort. They ate, drank and chatted along the way, and slept when they were tired. They lived a very comfortable life.

"Dad, are we home yet?"

"Yes, we'll be getting off the train soon. Once we get off the train, we'll be home."

They had stayed in the county for a day before returning to the village. People who were playing at the intersection saw two ox carts coming to the village from afar, but they did not recognize the people on the carts. When they got closer, they found that it was the third and fifth branches of the Shen family who had returned from Beijing with their parents and children.

"Jinhua, why are you so neat and tidy? I didn't even recognize you," said Aunt Zhang.

"Yes, this big city is for people to thrive. You see, you become a different person after going out."

Shen's mother was very happy, after all, no one else in the village had ever been to Beijing.

"My son and daughter-in-law have taken good care of us. We are going home first. You can come over and chat with us later."

Even when the Shen family's carriage had gone far away, the villagers were still envious of Shen's father and mother, and were wondering when they could go to Beijing themselves.
