The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 328 The one who led them forward

Xiao Baoer also came out of the kitchen. Shen Zhensheng took Xiao Baoer by the hand and introduced her to Jiang Tao, "Taozi, this is your sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, this is Jiang Tao."

"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm sorry to bother you these days," Jiang Tao saluted Xiao Baoer seriously, which showed respect to his sister-in-law.

"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Our house is lively with your coming. Just take a look around the house. Dinner will be ready soon," Xiao Baoer was also very enthusiastic to Jiang Tao.

Shen Zhensheng led Jiang Tao to the room prepared for him. He knew Jiang Tao would come and had already cleaned up the room for him.

"Taozi, put your bag down. Your sister-in-law and I have already cleaned up the house for you. The bedding is all brand new, and the house is warm."

Jiang Tao didn't expect Shen Zhensheng's house to be so nice. It was even cleaner than the military family compound, and it was divided into two courtyards, front and back. What's more convenient is that there are toilets and washrooms in both courtyards.

"Thank you, Brother Sheng. Brother Sheng, your house is really nice and comfortable to live in."

"My wife designed it. She likes this kind of house. You can just treat it as your own home. Zhou Bao is busy in town. After he is done with work, he will come to our house to celebrate the New Year together."

"Okay, I haven't seen a leopard in a long time."

Shen Zhensheng took out some new toiletries from the cupboard and said, "These are all new, feel free to use them. Clean up and come out to eat. I'll go to the kitchen and cook the remaining dish."

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Shen Zhensheng went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Shen Xiuxiu, Shen Zhenjiang and Liu Ying had already started bringing the dishes to the room with the large dining table. Shen Zhenjiang was afraid that Jiang Yuqing would feel uncomfortable, so he asked her to sit aside and rest.

"Second sister-in-law, these are the dishes I left for the children. I kept every dish so that the children can have their own table," Xiao Baoer joked with a smile.

"We have a big family, and the children are enough to form a table. When Tuantuan and Manman grow up, and Yuqing is pregnant, there will be enough space for one table," Liu Ying also happily chatted with Xiao Baoer.

Jiang Tao also went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes. Just now, Shen Zhensheng specially called Dabao and the other three out to let Jiang Tao take a look. The three children also liked Jiang Tao and thought he was very cool.

"Brother Sheng, sister-in-law, you don't have to spend so much money on me. I can eat anything," Jiang Tao said embarrassedly.

When the family sat down to eat, Jiang Tao saw how many dishes were on the table. Many of them were dishes he had never eaten before and they smelled delicious.

"It's not a big deal. We would have eaten the same way today even if you hadn't come. Just eat as much as you want," Shen Zhensheng picked up a big chicken leg and put it in his bowl.

"Yes, just rest assured. Have fun and eat well here for the next few days, and spend a lively New Year at home. There are many children at home, and the food is always very good, so you don't have to feel burdened," Xiao Baoer also said to Jiang Tao with a smile, fearing that he would not dare to eat.

Jiang Tao just started to eat. He looked at Brother Sheng and his family talking and laughing while eating, and the children were well-behaved and sensible. He was really envious.

"Taozi, try this old duck soup. My wife cooked it early in the morning. It tastes delicious, and the dishes are also tasty. Eat more."

"Okay, I'll eat more."

Jiang Tao didn't eat well on the train and was indeed a little hungry. Plus, the dishes prepared by Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer were really delicious, so he ate a lot today.

"Brother Sheng, your cooking skills are so good now. It's so delicious."

"Your sister-in-law taught me all of this. I can also make cookies and snacks. Your sister-in-law knows a lot of things, so she taught me some of them," Shen Zhensheng never thought it was shameful for a man to enter the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law is amazing."

"After dinner, you can take a rest. The house will be busy around 3 o'clock. The factory workers have a day off today, and they need to pay their salaries and New Year gifts. It will be very busy."

Jiang Tao didn't know that Xiao Baoer had a factory yet. Now when he heard about it, he really felt that Brother Sheng was living a very happy life. The family was reunited, the couple loved each other, and the children were lively and cute.

After dinner, Shen Zhensheng asked Jiang Tao to go to the house to rest. How could he not be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time?

"Wife, we haven't given our parents a New Year's gift yet. Let's go tomorrow."

"Okay, the New Year is coming in a few days. If we don't go now, it will be too late."

The New Year gifts from Shen's parents were given to them this morning, and they will return to her parents' home tomorrow to give them the gifts. Both Shen Zhenjiang and Shen Laoer's family gave money to Shen's parents. The three sons and daughters-in-law are all filial, and Shen's parents are relatively satisfied with their current life.

In the afternoon, everyone from the factory followed Aunt Song Yun to Shen Zhensheng's house. The benches were already in place, and a lot of melon seeds and peanuts were prepared. He also specially brewed some brown sugar water.

"Brother Sheng, why are there so many people here?" Jiang Tao came out of the house after waking up. As soon as he came out, he saw a lot of people in the front yard.

"These are all workers from the factory, and some villagers who come to have fun."

After all the villagers arrived, Xiao Baoer started to pay wages. Normally, workers could get 50-60 yuan. In the last month, everyone worked harder and worked overtime several times after the village was electrified. As a result, everyone's wages were higher, more than 60 yuan per person.

The men in the village were more excited than each other. Li Dagou even said to his wife excitedly, "Wife, not only do we have money to buy meat, but we have also saved enough money to build a brick house."

Several men were extremely excited to see their wives receive their salaries. The workers in this town did not earn as much as the workers in the factory. Everyone knew that this was because Xiao Baoer paid high wages and intended to give everyone more money.

"As long as we all work hard, we will not only have money to buy meat, but we will also strive to build brick houses next year and provide a good living environment for our children," Xiao Baoer encouraged everyone.

"Well said, thanks to Zhensheng's wife, our village has been lifted out of poverty this year, and we have also received strong praise from the town leaders. In order to reward our entire village, the town decided to reward our village with a tractor, and the tractor will be in place after the New Year," Shen Yongfu also told everyone the good news.

This year, when he attended a meeting in the town, he was finally able to hold his head high. In previous years, the village was a poor village and good things never came to the village, let alone being rewarded with a tractor. However, this year, the only tractor was rewarded to the village.

Everyone in the village is very happy. With a tractor, they can save a lot of effort in doing farm work in the village.

"This is not my blessing, it is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I have also prepared red envelopes for everyone, ranging from five to ten yuan, to wish everyone a good start in the new year."

Shen Xiuxiu and Aunt Song Yun distributed the red envelopes one by one. Everyone was very happy when they opened the red envelopes, especially those that contained ten yuan.

"Okay, after the red envelopes are distributed, it's time to give the New Year gifts. After receiving the New Year gifts, everyone goes home to stew meat and celebrate the New Year with the family together."

The items were all distributed, and everyone received them in order quite quickly. After receiving them, they went home with their husbands and children, carrying the generous New Year gifts.

"Sister-in-law, our village is really lively and the people are simple and honest. You have led us all very well," Jiang Tao helped to collect the stools. He had been standing by and watching his sister-in-law distribute wages and New Year gifts. It was really encouraging.

"The villagers have had a much better life this year. As long as everyone is not lazy, they can live a good life. I just happened to be the one who led them forward."

If Jiang Tao respected Xiao Baoer before, now he admires her more. It is really admirable for a woman to have such a big picture view.
