The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Shen Zhensheng wanted to go to the kitchen to help with cooking, but several sisters-in-law said they were busy and there was no need for him to go into the kitchen.

He could only go and look after the children with Xiao Baoer. They didn't have to take care of the three older ones and only had to look after the two younger ones.

Tuantuan and Manman like to play with the little brothers from their third and fourth uncles' families, who are only two or three months older than Tuantuan and Manman.

When the four children stand together, if you don't specifically point out, you really can't tell who is older and who is younger. Tuantuan is taller than his two older brothers.

"You have taken really good care of Tuantuan and Manman. Look, Manman has grown up to be like a doll, and Tuantuan has also grown tall," said Third Brother Xiao as he held Manman in his arms while playing in the yard, not wanting to let go.

"These two little guys usually drink milk powder, but they are so greedy when they see us eating every day. So Zhensheng and I let them eat every day so that they can eat more at one meal."

Shen Zhensheng doesn't dare to take credit for his wife's work. "It's all because of my wife. I'm usually busy with work and don't have much time to be at home. My wife takes care of the household affairs and children."

Mother Xiao also said to her sons, "You all need to learn from Zhensheng and Baoer. You must pay more attention to your children. Only when the children are well can the family be well."

"We know, mother. My wife often talks about learning from my younger sister and paying more attention to the children. Raising a child is not just about making sure they are well fed and warmly clothed. The child's character is also very important," said Boss Xiao, looking at the children running and playing in the yard.

"That's right. Look at how good Dabao and the others are. They are very confident in showing themselves in front of many people. They are not like most of the children we see. They are naughty and bully at home, but they are cowards in front of outsiders. They don't even dare to raise their heads, let alone speak loudly."

Xiao Baoer smiled and said, "Children who have this kind of situation usually have low self-esteem. They may not get much attention or praise in normal times. If this continues for a long time, the child will be timid when he grows up."

"My parents love to praise us. If we eat an extra bowl of rice, mom will praise us several times and even reward us with cheese sticks," Erbao was drinking water while standing in front of Shen Zhensheng.

Erbao's words made several people laugh. Shen Zhensheng rubbed Erbao's head and said, "You little brat remembers it very clearly. He just loves to hear nice words."

"Grandma, help me! My dad bullied me. He touched my handsome hairstyle," Erbao ran to his grandma to complain.

Xiao's mother also said to him, "You kid even reported your father. No one loves you more than your father. Your father loves you and your mother. When you grow up, you must learn from your father."

"If Erbao doesn't learn from me, I will. I want to be a man like dad and take care of mom, dad, and my younger brothers and sisters," Dabao's voice echoed loudly in the yard.

"Well, you must be better than your father."

Several people kept chatting, and those cousins ​​didn't have much chance to talk to Xiao Baoer. It was Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and several brothers of the Xiao family who accompanied them to talk and drink tea the whole time.

Xiao Baoer knew that she would definitely reject them, so she simply didn't give them a chance to speak, so that everyone would avoid hurting the relationship. Although Xiao Baoer didn't interact with them much, Xiao's mother was their aunt after all, and she couldn't lose face.

"Wife, they have something to say to you, right? I noticed that my cousin and his wife kept looking at you, and they tried to find a chance to talk to you several times."

When Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer were playing with the child alone at the door, Shen Zhensheng told Xiao Baoer what he had just seen.

Xiao Baoer told him what Xiao's mother had said just now, and then said to Shen Zhensheng, "It's okay, don't worry about it. We can just go home after dinner. Anyway, you don't have to go to work in town, and we can bring the children to visit parents often."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

During the meal, Dabao and his two brothers sat together with their older brothers and sisters from their uncle's family, and the younger ones ate with the adults.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng each fed one child. The two little ones ate in big and small mouthfuls. When they were full, they went to play by themselves, without delaying their parents' meals at all.

"Are they two so obedient? They play by themselves after they are full?"

Xiao Baoer smiled and said, "Yes, we rarely fed them when they were at home. When Zhensheng went to Beijing, he bought them children's bowls and spoons, and they ate well by themselves."

Xiao Baoer looked at the two children from time to time while eating, and Shen Zhensheng watched them even more frequently, fearing that the two children would touch something dangerous.

Especially the naughty little Manman, who always wanted to climb high places or play with a small stick, and she didn't feel any danger. Shen Zhensheng was very fond of her, so he kept a close eye on her.

"Manman, when you play with toys with your brother, you can't step on the stool," Shen Zhensheng hurriedly picked her up from the stool.

"I know, Dad," Manman knew he had made a mistake but still smiled mischievously.

Before Xiao Baoer left, she quietly told Xiao's father and mother in the house about making soap and biscuits, and asked them to deliver them to their home at the usual time after they were done.

Although Shen Zhensheng no longer engages in long-distance transportation, there will still be people who come to him to buy supplies, including pastries. There will be no problem with the sales channels that have already been opened.

"Dad, you and your brothers can make more soaps. The soaps you make are especially popular in big cities. Besides, we are the only ones who have this kind of soap. No one else has this formula."

"Okay, I'll tell your brother that if we do more, we can earn more money. They will definitely be happy to do that."

The family income is very considerable now. Mr. Xiao works in a factory in the town during the day and comes home to make soap after work. His wife also helps him when she is free.

In fact, it's not just them. Several other families have couples working together. Xiao Baoer's sisters-in-law and Xiao's mother help their husbands make soap after making the pastries. They also learn how to make it.

After Xiao Baoer and his family came back from the Chinese New Year last year, Xiao's father and mother told them how great Beijing is and how luxurious the house Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng bought in Beijing is.

My brothers and sisters-in-law are very motivated and hope to have a house in a big city like my younger sister and brother-in-law so that their children can have a better life.

Xiao Baoer and the others didn't stay at home for long before going home. Xiao Baoer didn't want to talk so much with her cousins, and the children still had to play football with their friends after returning home.

But later, Xiao Baoer heard from her mother that her cousin and his wife had suggested that she work in the factory, and she hoped that her mother would tell Xiao Baoer to take better care of them and arrange some easy and well-paid jobs for them.

Xiao's mother ignored them. Not to mention her nephew who they seldom interacted with, even if their own son wanted to take advantage of their daughter, Xiao's father and mother would not agree. No one should try to disrupt their daughter's happy life.

The visiting of relatives continued until around the tenth day of the first lunar month. Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang's former colleagues from the transport team also came to the house to pay New Year's greetings. Xiao Baoer prepared a large table of food for them to have dinner at home.

Xiao Baoer also told Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang to visit other people's homes to wish them a happy new year, and to visit and wish them a happy new year if there are elderly people at home.
