The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Just after drinking the mung bean soup, Xiao Zhensheng came back in a truck delivering bricks, tiles, lime and cement. As soon as the truck entered the village, it attracted the attention of the entire village.

These truckloads of bricks, tiles, cement, and lime are all money. How much money has Shen Lao San earned over the years?

"Oh my God, how much money does Shen Laosan have? How many houses can he build with these bricks?"

This speaks to everyone’s thoughts. Some people still don’t have enough food to eat, while others have already built brick and tile houses.

"Shen Laosan has been a soldier for many years. He probably earns a lot every year. After retiring, he will probably get about 1,800 yuan."

"How much does his wife earn in a month as a translator?"

“That’s probably several dozen.”

They all followed the car to Shen Zhensheng's house, and when they saw the unloaded construction materials, their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Xiao Baoer warmly treated the driver who was delivering bricks and tiles to water, and added some extra sugar. The workers stopped to help unload the construction materials from the truck.

Everyone was moving things, so Shen Zhensheng followed Xiao Baoer back home.

"Have you had breakfast this morning?" Xiao Baoer was concerned about whether he had eaten or not. So many things were brought back today, and he wondered if he was too busy to have eaten.

"I've eaten, wife. Did you miss me?" the man came closer.

"I've thought about it. Okay, stop making trouble. It's time for the three children to eat. You should eat something too. What do you want to eat?"

"Let's have some hot and sour noodles. They're sour and spicy, and more appetizing."

"Okay, go play with the three kids for a while, I'll get it for you."

Xiao Baoer took a portion of hot and sour noodles and some octopus balls from the space for Shen Zhensheng. The three children each ate a small piece of soufflé. Xiao Baoer drank mung bean soup and didn't want to eat anything.

The man may not have eaten well in the morning. He finished a bowl of hot and sour noodles in just a few bites. After eating, he hurried out to help with the work.

"Mom, is our big house going to be built?" Erbao asked Xiao Baoer, blinking his big eyes.

"No, it will take another month. I'll build a big house for the baby. Then you three will have your own rooms. Mom will prepare the best things for you. Are you happy?"

"I'm happy, but I still want to sleep with my brother. I like sleeping with my brother and Sanbao, the three of us together."

My good son, your old father is really in tears. That’s what he thinks. Even if you don’t think so, your old father will send you to your room.

"Okay, it depends on what you think when the time comes. Dabao, do you want to sleep with your brother?"

"Yes, Mom, I can take care of my brother."

"So good, my eldest son is so great."

My mother praised me, hehe, today's cake is so delicious.

The person who helped with cooking in the morning came to cook again and made white flour buns and fried egg sauce according to what Xiao Baoer said.

When Shen's mother saw the flour and eggs that Shen Zhensheng took out, she was dumbfounded. The third son's hands were so big, how could the third son be like this? This big basin of eggs must be more than the eggs that the villagers eat in a year.

"Mom, don't think like that. Think about it. After we had lunch this morning, we worked very fast. I just asked Dad to check it out. He said that if we keep going like this, we can finish the construction in 20 days."

Shen Zhensheng comforted Shen's mother, knowing that she was reluctant to part with the flour and eggs.

"Really? Third brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Mom, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go ask Dad. The construction period can be shortened by several days. Just think about how much more money you would have to pay if you worked for more days."

"You're right. Okay, then mom will go cook." Shen's mother felt that what Shen Zhensheng said made sense, so she had to ask the old man again in the evening.

The last person working divided the food into 3 steamed buns according to the quantity, and stuffed each bun with egg sauce, which smelled delicious.

This big white steamed bun, let alone stuffing it with egg sauce, one could eat three of them just for the bun. They happily thanked Shen's mother who distributed the buns to them, and ran home with the buns full of energy, not showing any fatigue from a day's work.

Aunt Zhang and her son came to help and had to share 6 steamed buns. Aunt Zhang didn't want so many, so Shen's mother chased her from a distance and stuffed them into her hands.

Watching the people who came to help go home with the white steamed buns one by one, those people on the road who didn't believe that Shen Zhensheng paid for two meals were dumbfounded and regretted it so much.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, what did you take?"

"Can't you see? White steamed buns. Zhensheng's family is particular about this. This morning, they gave us steamed buns made from two grams of flour. They also asked us to make a hodgepodge, with a big piece of meat. My mother, oh, she didn't even share so much during the Chinese New Year. They also cooked a big pot of soup. It was delicious."

Aunt Zhang was deliberately showing off, thinking that she would make those who always say sarcastic things about others regret it to death, so she continued,

"This evening, look, I've made white steamed buns and fried egg sauce again. Smell it, it smells so good. My son and I have never had such a good meal as today. On this day, even if I don't pay for the meal, I would still ask my son to help."

After Aunt Zhang finished talking to her son, she was about to leave, but was stopped by the group of people who had just spoken to her. "Mr. Zhang, you have a good relationship with Luo Jinhua, right? Ask her if she needs anyone else. I'll let my son go too."

"Don't pull me. I have to go home to feed my daughter-in-law, my eldest grandson and my youngest granddaughter with steamed buns. My family got six of these white steamed buns. You said your son wants to go, will he let him go? Everyone knows that your son is lazy and likes to eat."

After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she left with her son. The steamed buns were still hot, so she had to quickly give them to her daughter-in-law and eldest grandchildren.

After being scolded by Aunt Zhang, Li Sangou's mother cursed behind Aunt Zhang's back, "Bah, looking at her like that, she thought it was her son who was building the brick house. What an old bitch."

Some people even went to the old house to look for Shen's father. Shen's mother, Shen's father, and Shen Zhenjiang, who had just returned from get off work, were having dinner.

Xiao Baoer asked Shen's mother and second sister-in-law to take 10 steamed buns each, brought a bowl of egg sauce, and also gave them an extra bowl of braised pork she made herself, which also contained braised eggs. Shen's mother and the second wife were enjoying the meal.

First, the eldest brother Shen came to Shen's mother's room timidly and said, "Mom, can you tell my third brother to let me help tomorrow? There is no food at home."

Shen's father and Shen Zhenjiang ignored him and ate without looking up. Shen's mother raised her head and glanced at him, "Where is the food that your family got? The food that was distributed to you is enough for you and your wife to eat until the village distributes food and meat in a few days."

"Mother, food...food...food was secretly sent to my mother's house by that woman again."

"What did you say? Send her back to her parents' home?" Shen's mother was already furious.

"Yes, she got up early in the morning and secretly took it away. The children didn't even have lunch at noon."

"You are quite capable, aren't you a bully at home? Women like that are thieves in their mother's family. Beat them up and send them back to their mother's family. Don't come to my place. I don't have any food for an unfilial son like you."
