The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Zhou Bao no longer has parents, so naturally he will not forget his father-in-law and mother-in-law who treat him like their own son.

"Mom and Dad, this is a gift from Xiuxiu and I. If you treat me like your own son, then I am your son. You can't just take my brothers', you have to take mine as well."

Shen's mother smiled and narrowed her eyes into slits. "Take them. These are gifts from my four sons and my four daughters. Mother accepts them all."

This is the cleverness of Shen's mother. She now calls her son-in-law her son. In her heart, the three daughters-in-law are the same as Shen Xiuxiu, and they are all her daughters.

Xiao Baoer and her four brothers also prepared red envelopes for Xiao's father and mother. Xiao's father and mother now live with Xiao Baoer and his family, and they have no shortage of daily necessities. After much thought, the four brothers decided to give them red envelopes.

The children also received a lot of red envelopes. Although the eldest and second child have grown up, the elders still gave each of them a red envelope and treated all the children equally.

Dabao and Erbao originally thought that they no longer needed red envelopes since they had grown up, so they wanted to give the red envelopes to their mother.

"Son, this is the red envelope given to you by your elders. Take it and buy anything you want with your own money."

Dabao and Erbao had no choice but to put the red envelopes in their pockets. They usually didn't have much money to spend except for eating at school. The clothes and fruits were prepared by Xiao Baoer for them to take to school.

This year, no one went back to their hometown for the Spring Festival. After the festival, everyone returned to work. As soon as the children went back to school, the house became deserted again.

Xiao's father and mother as well as Shen's father and mother were a little bored at home all day, so they discussed with Xiao Baoer that they would also go to the factory to help out. They didn't need to be paid, just to exercise.

The workers recruited by Xiao Baoer's factory are all young and middle-aged people. People of their age are already considered old, so the factory cannot allow them to go.

However, Xiao Baoer found them a job. She had an idle shop, and she had not decided what to do with it before, but now she had made a decision.

Xiao Baoer planned to let Shen's mother and Xiao's mother sell braised food. They had already mastered the skill of braising when they were in the village. Opening a shop selling braised food in Beijing could also help them kill time.

Shen Zhensheng also discussed this matter with several brothers of the Xiao family, as well as Shen Laoer and Shen Zhenjiang, wanting to hear their opinions on this matter.

After all, parents are everyone's parents, not just any one person's parents, so it is better for several people to discuss and make a decision together.

Originally, everyone was worried that their parents were too old and would be too tired if they opened a store, but their parents were determined and just wanted to find something to do and didn't want to be idle anymore.

In the past, they could still have a child to accompany them, but when the children grew up, they were sent to school, some to primary school, some to kindergarten, and only a few adults were left staring at each other.

Since we couldn't persuade our parents to stay at home, we could only help them prepare for the opening of the business.

Shen Zhenjiang helped the braised food store to make a sign and menu. In addition to things like braised large intestines and pickled pork heads, there were also some duck products.

"Mom, I went to several slaughterhouses and asked, and finally reached a cooperation with the slaughterhouse and breeding farm in the west of the city. They will deliver goods to you every two days. You can just take as much as you need."

Shen's mother was very happy because she finally found a job.

"Okay, okay, Third Brother, I heard Baoer talk about hunger marketing before, is the braised food store still hungry?"

Shen's mother's words made Shen Xiuxiu, Xiao Baoer and others laugh out loud. The older this old lady gets, the cuter she becomes.

"Mom, why would we be hungry when we run a braised food shop? We have to eat our fill," Shen Xiuxiu deliberately teased Shen's mother.

"You little stinky girl, you only know how to laugh at me. Don't you mother not understand? Your third sister-in-law knows more, mother should learn more from her."

After Xiao Baoer had laughed enough, she said to Shen's mother, "Mom, you are talking about hunger marketing, but our braised food store doesn't use this method. Let's open the store first, and then we'll see how the store performs and decide how to market it."

After the braised food shop was fully prepared, Shen's mother and Xiao's mother hurriedly made the first pot of braised food. The aroma wafted out and attracted many people passing by the door.

Shen Zhensheng and his group of people even came to the braised food shop to help out, because there was going to be a food tasting event today and they were needed to promote it at the door.

"Dad, Manman wants to have a bite too," Manman said greedily, drooling when he saw the duck neck on the plate held by his father.

Shen Zhensheng handed the plate to Shen Zhenjiang, then led her and Tuantuan into the house to wash their hands. After washing their hands, he took them out to eat duck neck.

"Dad, the duck neck cooked by grandma and grandma is delicious, better than roast duck," the little boy kept eating even though his mouth was full of oil and his face was covered with it.

"This shows that grandma and grandma are good at cooking. Eat slowly and don't get stuck."

Xiao Baoer has been busy recently, so the two children are taken care of by Shen Zhensheng. Fortunately, Shen Zhensheng is a careful man and the two children are well taken care of by him.

After Xiao Baoer finished her work, she also came to the braised food shop. She went to the fruit shop and the stationery store, and saw that Xiao Lao Da and Shen Zhenjiang were not in the store. She guessed that everyone came to the braised food shop to help.

"Mom, please try this meat, it's so delicious."

Xiao Baoer pinched the flesh on Tuantuan's face and said, "You little brat, you've become as dirty as a little cat. Did you eat too much flesh?"

"Hehe, my sister eats more than me."

Seeing that Jiang Yuqing was too busy at the cashier, Xiao Baoer helped to count the bills and collect money. Today was the first day of opening so the prices were more favorable. In addition, the aroma of the braised food was so tempting that many people were attracted to the store. They thought the prices were not expensive and bought some to try.

Xiao's mother and Shen's mother originally thought that sales would not be good on the first day, so they did not prepare a lot of braised food. Unexpectedly, there were still customers coming into the store after all the braised food was sold out.

The two were tired but happy, with a sense of pride that they could finally play their part.

However, Shen Zhensheng also reminded them, "Mom, even though business is good today, don't think you can braise more on the second day. Let's just make about the same amount as today and make sure there is no leftovers every day."

"Yeah, okay, we know about this. Baoer just reminded us."

Shen's mother and Xiao's mother are doing business more and more smoothly. Not only are they not busy, they can also chat with customers who come into the store about family matters. They also have a good relationship with two old ladies who are doing business nearby.

"Sister, you have such a big family. I see a lot of young people coming to your store to help. Are they all your children?" asked the old lady next door.

Shen's mother smiled cheerfully and said, "There are my children, and my in-laws' son and daughter-in-law. We have been a family for a long time, and they are all our own children."

"The one wearing the white coat that day was your daughter?"

Shen's mother thought about it and realized that Xiao Baoer was the only one who usually wore a white coat.

"You are talking about Bao'er, right? She is my third daughter-in-law, who looks just like my own daughter. My in-laws raised a good daughter for me."

"You're talking nonsense. Bao'er was ignorant when she first married into your family, but you were the one who tolerated her. If you want to talk about the credit, it's all yours. You've brought up my daughter well," Xiao's mother said with a smile, but she was speaking from the heart.

They have worked diligently in the village for half their lives. How could such simple and hardworking people dare to think that there would be such a thing as time travel? They would only attribute Xiao Baoer's huge changes to her ignorance when she was young and she would gradually become sensible as she grew older.
