The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 65: Work starts in the morning

The next day, Xiao Baoer protested as soon as she woke up.

"I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face yet. It stinks."

"Baby, it's so sweet, how can it be smelly?"

A man who is not ashamed of himself but proud of it really deserves a beating!

"That can't go on. We have to start building the house today. Go buy bricks and tiles today. Also, we have to find time to go to the mountain to cut wood."

"I know. I will go find my comrades today. I think if it is done, it will be delivered tomorrow. I will go find my father later and ask him to lead people to dig the foundation first."

"Have you told Dad the price?"

"It's 5 cents a day, and it includes a meal in the morning and evening. Eat here in the morning and take it home in the evening."

Xiao Baoer nodded after hearing this, "Well, your idea is good. Every family is in a difficult situation now. If you don't have enough food, you can't work."

"I'll get up later and ask Dad how many people he found, so we can prepare the food."

"Honey, what about cooking?"

"I know you find it troublesome, don't worry, it won't tire you out. I've told mom to find two aunties in the village who are good at cooking to cook for you. We'll set up the stove in our yard, and you can just give the food to the aunties."

Xiao Baoer kissed his face and said, "Hubby, you are so nice. You have thought of everything."

"Your husband is so nice, do you want to reward him?"

"What's the reward? How about I knit you a sweater myself?"

When the man heard that his wife wanted to knit a sweater for him, he was so happy that he couldn't hold back his mouth. "My wife is so nice. I want the sweater and the other things too."

"I'll be getting up late again soon. Aren't there a lot of things to do today?"

"It's not too late. It's still early."

As soon as the two of them exchanged glances, they began to have an intimate conversation. After the man was satisfied, the time was almost up, so the two of them left the space.

The child was still asleep, so Xiao Baoer continued to sleep on the kang. Shen Zhensheng went to the old house and asked his father to find the bricklayer who had been agreed upon yesterday to start digging the foundation.

Shen Zhensheng arrived at the old house. Among the other three rooms, only the second one made some food for the children. The others were hungry. After all, the food they received after the division of the family was not much, and there were still more than 10 days before the distribution of food, so they had to plan their days.

Because Shen Zhenjiang had to go to work in town today, Shen's father and mother made some sweet potato porridge early. Shen's mother gritted her teeth and boiled two eggs for Shen Zhenjiang.

"Old Third, why are you here at this time?"

"Dad, go check if there is any strong laborer in our village at home. Let's start laying the foundation today. I will contact my comrades later to get bricks, tiles, lime and cement."

Father Shen stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. I think there will be quite a few people there. Let your second brother and the others go and help."

Naturally, Shen Zhensheng would not let Shen Laoer and the others help in vain, and wanted to settle the bill together in the end.

"Okay. Mom, find which aunt to cook and let them help with cooking this morning."

Shen's mother said, "Your Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lianhua in this village both cook delicious food. I'll go talk to them and bring your second sister-in-law to help."

"Okay, mother, when the time comes, just ask my wife what to cook. Also, mother, my wife has to take care of the three children in the morning to learn to read. The translation price of this book is very high, but the translator is also very urgent, so don't ask her to work."

Shen's mother thought that the third daughter's writing could earn as much in a month as other families could earn in a year, so of course she couldn't let her work. Besides, taking care of the three older grandchildren was also her main job.

She responded immediately, "Hey, don't worry. I know your wife is busy, but I, your second sister-in-law, and two aunts can handle it. Yesterday, your uncle and aunt knew that you were going to build a brick house, and they were so happy that they said they would ask your rich brother to come and help today."

"That's great. My wife is very generous. She won't mistreat the people who come to work. You can let the villagers come to work without worry."

"Okay, Dad and Mom, go find more people."

Shen Zhensheng added, "Mom, there is one thing you need to tell the people who work. My wife's not working doesn't mean she is idle. Tell the people who work not to gossip. My wife doesn't like it."

Shen's father and mother quickly agreed, "Don't worry, third brother, just do what you need to do. We will start the work in the morning."

Shen Zhensheng returned home, while Shen's father and mother went out to find work.

Xiao Baoer and the three children had already gotten up, "Wife, you go wash up, I'll brush Sanbao's teeth and wash his face."

"Okay, I'll make him a cup of milk powder later. I'll wash up and prepare breakfast. You can have breakfast before you go out."

"it is good."

After Xiao Baoer finished washing and packing, she avoided the children and went into the space to start choosing breakfast.

Finally, I prepared egg scallion pancakes, potato pancakes, rice balls, dumplings, eggs, as well as soy milk, milk and juice.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Zhensheng went out to look for his comrades. Xiao Baoer brought him two boxes of Wutaishan cigarettes and two bottles of Moutai liquor. She also took out 1000 yuan from the space and handed it to him. If the order could be placed today, she would pay him the money.

Xiao Baoer was reading at home with her child when Shen's mother, Liu Ying and her aunt came in.

"Old Third, your father has already found some people to do the work. There are quite a few people here today, about 20 people."

"That's great, mother. If you finish building it soon, the children won't have to suffer from the cold in winter. Mother, you, my second sister-in-law and the other aunts can see where to put the stove for cooking."

"Let's put it near the door so that it will be convenient to bring the food next door." Aunt Lianhua looked around the yard and pointed to the place.

"Okay, Aunt Lianhua, let's cook here. You and Aunt Zhang are both the best cooks in the village, so I'm sorry to bother you this time."

Aunt Lianhua and Aunt Zhang were so happy with Shen's mother's flattery that they worked more vigorously this morning.

Shouting to Shen Laoer to fix the stove and furnace, the foundation had already been dug and Shen's father was leading his men working hard.

"Uncle Shen, your third son and his wife are really capable. This brick house is the only one of its kind in the commune."

"Who says they are not? The third brother and his wife are also generous. When people in the village build houses, they are lucky to get one meal a day. This time they get two meals a day and get money."

"Hey, my husband and I are worried that our children will not have enough space to live in when they grow up. We are trying to build a brick house in one go to save the money of rebuilding it later."

"Everyone comes to help, so they deserve to have a meal. My third daughter-in-law said that everyone should be paid for their efforts."

Father Shen was of course happy to hear the people working there praising his son, but he was afraid that some thieves would covet the third son's family's money, so he could only say this. This also made others understand that the third son had spent all the family's money on building the house.

It was not yet time to cook, so Xiao Baoer moved a few stools for everyone to sit in the yard and talk. The weather was cool and it was comfortable to sit in the yard.

He also brought out a plate of melon seeds and fruit candies from the house for everyone to eat.

Aunt Lianhua was so happy, "Oh, my mother, this is the first time I worked for someone and I got to eat melon seeds. This candy is so expensive. Jinhua, please take it back to your third son's house and give it to the children."

Shen's mother also felt that the third son's family was too generous. Since they had already given the money, there was no need to share the candy among the three grandchildren.
