The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Shen Zhenjiang ran all the way to Shen Zhensheng's house despite carrying the heavy burden of two children.

As soon as he entered the door, he excitedly shouted "Third Brother, Third Brother."

Shen Zhensheng came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. "You little brat, why are you yelling? You need to be more steady next time. Put them down quickly, wash your hands and serve the dishes. Your third sister-in-law has made a lot of delicious food."

"Oh, that's good."

After quickly washing his hands, he went into the kitchen to serve the dishes, "Third sister-in-law, you made so many delicious dishes. They smell so good."

"Isn't this your third brother who's back? I made some more. Eat as much as you can later. Third sister-in-law has something good to tell you."

"Okay, I will eat all the food."

Shen Zhenjiang became extremely hungry as soon as he smelled the food; it was so delicious.

While eating, Shen's mother saw so many dishes on the table, including a lot of meat dishes, and knew that a lot of money must have been spent. She was about to say something, but the smell of the dishes made her drool.

I couldn't help but scold myself in my heart: What are you talking about? The Third Family can earn as much as they spend. Don't interfere in the Third Family's affairs in the future.

Seeing that everyone except me had started eating, I quickly picked up my chopsticks and started eating. The old man ate several more bites than me, huh!

Now Sanbao eats with a small spoon, so Xiao Baoer used two small bowls to serve him some mashed yam and egg custard, put a bib on him, and ate the delicious food herself.

Shen Zhensheng thought about it and decided to talk about his retirement after dinner.

"Dad, Mom, I was injured and retired from the army."

"What, you were injured and discharged from the army? Third brother, where are you injured?" Shen's mother asked anxiously.

"Mom, my arm is injured, but don't worry, it has almost healed. I just can't lift heavy objects for a long time, so I applied for discharge and did not accept the job arranged by the army."

Shen Zhensheng explained, worried that Shen's mother would blame him for not accepting the assigned job.

Shen's mother had no time to blame Shen Zhensheng. She kept looking at Xiao Baoer. The third son was good-looking and could earn several hundred dollars a month. The third son had retired from the army. What if she wanted to divorce him?

Xiao Baoer felt that Shen's mother kept looking at her with concern, but she still said it out.

"Mom, you don't have to keep looking at me. I know what you're thinking. I won't divorce Zhensheng. It's okay if I don't serve in the army. I won't starve to death if I farm at home. We can still live a good life."

"Besides, didn't you and dad worry about him all those years when he was in the army? It's good for him to come back and spend time with his parents, wife and children."

Xiao Baoer told the story slowly and leisurely.

When Father Shen heard what Xiao Baoer said, he said happily, "Yes, what the third elder said is right. We can live well at home after we retire. We just need to raise the children well. As long as we are alive, nothing else matters."

"Old Third's family, it's great that you think this way. Don't worry, Old Third will definitely treat you and the child well. If he doesn't treat you well, your father and I will not forgive him."

Shen's mother comforted Xiao Baoer. Xiao Baoer actually wanted to tell Shen's mother that you are really worrying too much. I wish he was at home. Having such a handsome man around is a feast for the eyes every day, and I can also live a shy life every day. It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Besides, he had supplies and money, so even if he did nothing now, he could still live a happy life and keep Shen Zhensheng and his three kids in good health.

In the 21st century, Xiao Baoer, who had no parents, only had a grandfather. Later, he was alone and often felt lonely.

Now that I have my lover and children by my side, I feel really content.

"Mom, you and Dad can rest assured. We will live better than before, and our living standards will not decline. We will raise the three children as we should, and we will not mistreat your grandchildren.

Besides, Zhensheng has been a soldier for so many years, and he has some injuries on his body. I know a little bit about Chinese medicine, so I can slowly give him some nourishment so that his body won’t be so damaged and he won’t suffer as he gets older.”

"Old Third, you also know Chinese medicine? How come you know so much?"

"I learned this from reading books. Mother, let me be frank. I don't want you to interfere too much in our lives. The tribute we owe to you and father will only be more than what we said when we separated. But don't think of using our third branch to fill the gap for the other branches."

Shen's mother knew what Xiao Baoer meant. Now the first and fourth wives were trying to take advantage of the third wife, and the third wife's family was afraid that she would also help the first and fourth wives to rely on her and the third wife.

They are all my sons, and I treat them with respect. Last time, I was hoping that Sixiu would suffer less, and that the Fourth Brother's family would have a successor. Who could have expected it to turn out like this?

"Hey, mother knows. Lao Wu and Xiu Xiu have already told your father and I about it. We were also confused. Don't worry, as long as you and Lao San live well, you don't have to worry about them."

Shen's mother assured Xiao Baoer.

“Also, it doesn’t mean that I won’t care about my family now that I’m married to Zhensheng. If there are jobs or good opportunities in town, I will lend money to my brothers so that they can buy jobs or something.

Don't be instigated by those old ladies in the village and come to cause trouble for me and try to bully me. You know my temper, and I won't give in to you if a quarrel really starts.

Of course, you and Dad can rest assured that I will not say that I only care about my mother’s family.”

"Old Third, can you find a way to buy a job?"

Shen's mother and father have always been worried about Shen Zhenjiang. He is about to get engaged, and they have always wanted to buy him a job so that the fifth child doesn't have to work in the village all the time.

"Yes, I will consider my family. At the same time, I will not be bad to Zhensheng's brothers and sisters. Let's not talk about Xiuxiu. Zhensheng and I took care of her during her two years in high school. I have also taken care of Laowu's affairs."

"What, sister-in-law, what did you do?"

Shen Zhenjiang asked in shock. He only knew that his third sister-in-law had not been home in the past few days, but he didn't know what she had done.

"Yes, the third brother, what did you do?" Shen's father and mother asked anxiously.

"I've asked my acquaintances to inquire about jobs in several factories in town. Now someone is offering a job at the steel mill, and I want Lao Wu to go."

Shen Zhenjiang had been asking about jobs in the town before, but had never received any reply. Now there are so many people competing for one job that it is almost impossible to get one.

"Third sister-in-law, Third Brother is back now. Why don't you let him go? I'll just stay at home and work. I'm used to it."

"Yes, the third brother's family, let the third brother go first, and we will find a way for the fifth brother."

Shen's mother refused, saying that the third son must be given priority in the job his family is looking for.

"Zhensheng's arm hasn't healed yet, so don't let him go to work yet. Let him stay at home to recuperate first. I'll buy it for Laowu first. Tomorrow he has to go to the factory with others to complete the handover quickly, otherwise this job will be easily taken away by someone else."

"Third sister-in-law, how much does this job cost?"

Shen Zhenjiang knew that his family only had 200 yuan in savings. If the job was too expensive, the money at home might not be enough and he would have to go out and borrow.

"They wanted 660, but we finally agreed on 640. I will pay them when I hand over the property tomorrow."

When Xiao Baoer saw that Shen's mother and father were full of worry, she knew that there was not enough money in the old house.

So he said, "You two old men don't have to worry. I'm willing to lend this money to Lao Wu, Zhensheng. Do you agree?"

"I agree. This kid is smart and shouldn't work at home. Lao Wu, thank your third sister-in-law quickly. Your third sister-in-law is still worried about you."

Shen Zhensheng's eyes were full of love for his youngest brother. He still remembers the scene when Shen Zhenjiang held his arm and wouldn't let him go when he went to join the army.

The fifth brother was raised by Shen Zhensheng, so the two brothers have the deepest relationship.

"Yes, Lao Wu, thank your third sister-in-law quickly." Shen's father patted Shen Zhenjiang.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will work hard and return the money to you as soon as possible."

"Well, the first month is a trial period, and the salary is 18 yuan a month. If you do well, you will be a regular employee in the second month. After that, the salary will be 30 yuan a month, and it will increase slowly. You are smart and clever, so you will definitely do a good job."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. You have given me the opportunity to work, and I will definitely do my best. I will pay you back as soon as possible."
