The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Shen Xiuxiu and Zhou Bao came early on the second day of the Chinese New Year after having breakfast. Because Shen Xiuxiu was still in her early pregnancy, Zhou Bao was afraid that she would be shaken and cold on the bicycle, so he found an ox cart in the town to come to the village.

Besides the two of them and the quilt, there were also gifts brought by Zhou Bao on the ox cart. There were all kinds of things in big and small packages, including a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil.

"Why are you two carrying so many things again? I told you not to take anything," Shen's mother met them at the door and blamed them when she saw they brought so many things.

"Mom, New Year only comes once a year. This is the first time that Xiuxiu and I have returned to my parents' home for the New Year since we got married. We can't be shabby. I brought some gifts for my grandparents. Xiuxiu and I will go visit them later."

Father Shen praised Zhou Bao repeatedly, "You are a filial child. Your grandparents talk about you all day long, saying that you always think about them every time you come."

"Dad, this is all right. Not to mention that I married Xiuxiu, but Brother Sheng and Sister-in-law are so good to me. I should be filial to my grandparents and my parents."

Today, Shen Zhensheng and Shen Laoer did not go to visit relatives. Zhou Bao is considered the new son-in-law, so Shen's father asked them to stay and have dinner with Zhou Bao.

"Mom, let me make the ribs. Xiuxiu is in a heavy body now and has a special taste. I'll make her the pork ribs with preserved plums that I loved to eat when I was pregnant. I thought you don't have all the seasonings here, so I brought them all from home."

Shen's mother smiled and said to Xiao Baoer who came into the kitchen, "Okay, then you do it. You, Yuqing, and your second sister-in-law love Xiuxiu. Just now, your second sister-in-law said that Xiuxiu likes the pork and vermicelli stew she made. She is here to stew the vermicelli."

"Isn't this as it should be? This shows that Xiuxiu is good. If she treats us badly, how can we sisters-in-law treat her with all our hearts? Don't worry about it. Go out and have a rest."

Mother Shen saw her three daughters-in-law busy in the kitchen and she really couldn't help, so she could only come out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.

If this had happened a few years ago, when those two families were still causing trouble at home, she would never have dared to imagine that she could live such a good life as she does today.

Not to mention that the son is filial, the daughters-in-law are all excellent, and the grandchildren in the family are all polite and sensible.

"Sister-in-law, I knew as soon as I smelled it that you made this pork stew with vermicelli. It tastes different from the one my mother made."

Shen Xiuxiu and Zhou Bao just went to visit the old man and the old lady with gifts, and they smelled the fragrance as soon as they entered the door.

"The pork stewed with vermicelli will be ready soon. Your third sister-in-law is making pork ribs with preserved plums. You have to eat more in the morning."

Shin Soo-su ​​went into the kitchen and talked with her three sisters-in-law. The dishes were almost ready, so there was no need for her to help.

"You don't know, I just went to my eldest uncle's house and ran into my second uncle and his wife. Zhou Bao and I made them really mad."

The three of them looked at her at the same time, waiting for her to continue.

"Zhou Bao and I were carrying our things as we passed by her house. Second Aunt stood in front of us with a shameless face and told Zhou Bao that he didn't need to be so polite. She only wanted malted milk and pork, and if Zhou Bao was willing, she would give him the apples and spareribs as well."

Xiao Baoer was really laughing. This guy was really self-indulgent. Zhou Bao might not even know that he had such an uncle and aunt.

"And then? You are such a bad-tempered girl, how can you not talk back to her?"

Shen Xiuxiu laughed when Xiao Baoer guessed it right. "How could I not tell on her? Who are you? Is your family starving to death on New Year's Day? Why are you robbing people on the street? I have to report it to the police right away."

"Zhou Bao was also there to watch the fun. As soon as I finished speaking, he shouted for help at the top of his voice. Someone was robbing. Someone was being unruly during New Year's Day. Hahahaha, I was dying of laughter."

Xiao Baoer and the other three couldn't stop laughing. This couple was so annoying that one was more annoying than the other. Someone like Second Aunt-in-law would never get away with anything good at their hands.

"A few days ago, I heard from villagers at the factory that my second uncle's daughter had an affair and was sent back to her parents' home. It was so embarrassing," said Liu Ying.

"Who cares? If she doesn't live a peaceful life, it's their family's business if they chase her back and embarrass her. It has nothing to do with us."

The four people were laughing in the kitchen. Shen Zhensheng and the others were looking after the children in the yard. There were ten children in the family, and they were running around until they felt dizzy.

"It's time to eat," Liu Ying shouted from the kitchen, and several people began to bring out the dishes.

There were a lot of people eating this morning, so we prepared a lot of dishes. There were about ten adults and ten children, and the whole yard was bustling with activity.

Shen's father and Shen's second son helped the old man and the old lady to come over for dinner. Although the old man and the old lady lived with Uncle Shen's family, Shen's father and mother were filial to them. They had to invite the old couple to come over for the lively reunion dinner during the New Year.

"Grandpa, this is the fruit wine I brewed, please try it," Xiao Baoer poured a small glass of fruit wine for the old man, because he was too greedy when he saw Shen Zhensheng and others drinking.

"Okay, okay, she's still my granddaughter-in-law. None of these brats will drink with me." The older the old man gets, the more he acts like a naughty boy.

"Grandpa, the alcohol content of this wine is too high. You should drink the one poured by your third sister-in-law. We brothers and your favorite grandson-in-law will drink one together with you," Shen Zhenjiang coaxed the old man.

Zhou Bao is sweet-talking and is especially good at coaxing the old man, "What grandson-in-law? Grandpa, I am your great grandson."

The old man was so pleased with his grandchildren's words that he ate a lot more.

"Okay, they are all good grandsons, good grandsons."

Several people: Although he is really my good grandson, why does he sound so strange?

Xiao Baoer was afraid that the old lady’s teeth were not good, so she specially made steamed eggs with minced meat, blueberry yam puree, and pot-fried tofu for her. The old lady couldn’t stop eating for a whole meal.

"Jinhua, the good days are all ahead. You and Ping'an have lived through so many hard years, and now these good days have finally come," the old lady said, patting Shen's mother's hand.

"Yes, mother. I never thought that we would be so blessed."

Shen Xiuxiu and Zhou Bao are not going back to town today. They plan to stay at home for a few days and visit relatives with Shen's mother and others.

The old man and the old lady went back to rest after dinner. As they are old, they need to lie down and rest every day.

Shen's mother said at home that she would go to visit her uncle's relatives tomorrow and asked them who would go.

The family has nothing to do tomorrow, so they might as well follow Shen's mother back to her parents' home. It will be more lively with more people.

In the evening, Xiao Baoer also prepared some red envelopes. She would have to give out some red envelopes when visiting relatives tomorrow. She has five children in her family, and she can't accept red envelopes from others for nothing.

"Dad, Mom, this is the red envelope my uncle-in-law gave us today," Dabao and the other three handed over the red envelopes. Tuantuan and the full red envelope were already in Xiao Baoer's hands.

"Mom, no, you guys open the red envelope and put it in your own piggy bank, and spend it when you want to buy something for yourself later."

Xiao Baoer also put Tuantuan and the full red envelopes into their own piggy banks.

"Son, tomorrow we will follow grandma to visit relatives. You must be polite. Do you understand?"

"I know, Mom, we are very obedient."

The children are really polite, but Xiao Baoer always reminds them every time they go out.
