The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 321 Things Will Get Better in the Future

The children were very tired from playing in the snow yesterday and woke up late in the morning. However, they were very confused as to why their parents woke up even later than them.

"Dad, why don't you get up as early as my brother and I?" Dabao asked with wide eyes as he accompanied his father downstairs to prepare breakfast.

"Dad was tired from work, so he slept a little longer," Shen Zhensheng could only find a reason that his son could understand.

He couldn't tell his son what he and his wife did last night.

"Then Dad will go to bed after eating. Won't Mom have breakfast with us?"

"Mom is washing up and will be down soon. Can you help Dad bring the siomai and fried buns over?"

Dabao likes to help his parents with work. After hearing what his father said, he immediately went out with the plate.

Shen Zhensheng took some other food. Xiao Baoer always said that breakfast must be eaten well and not be sloppy.

After preparing breakfast, Shen Zhensheng went upstairs and brought Tuan Tuan and Man Man down with Xiao Baoer. In addition to milk powder, they now also eat some complementary food. In the morning, they are fed some apple puree or banana puree.

"Wife, which fruit puree should Tuantuan and Manman be fed this morning?"

"They just drank the formula. We'll feed them applesauce after breakfast. Manman likes Dabao to feed her, so you have to let Dabao coax her."

Tuantuan and Manman are children who make their mother worry-free. As long as their brother is with them, they can play with his brother for a long time. Since they started eating complementary foods, it is basically their brother who feeds them, and their mother only needs to watch them.

"Okay, let's eat first."

Shen Zhensheng took care of Sanbao while he was eating. Sanbao flattered his father sweetly, "Thank you, Dad. The shaomai you gave me smells so good."

"In the future, your son will be able to coax out all our family property with this mouth, and his words can make people happy," Xiao Baoer said with a smile.

"That's true. I'll work harder now and save more money so that my son won't complain that I don't earn enough money," Shen Zhensheng joked.

After dinner, Shen Zhensheng and his sons cleaned the table. The eldest and second sons washed their hands and hurried out. When Shen Zhensheng came out, he realized that they were afraid that their younger siblings would be anxious, so they came out of the kitchen to feed them fruit puree.

"Son, remember what mom said. Don't feed too hastily, and don't feed too much at once."

"We know mom, you've said it many times."

Shen Zhensheng also came over and watched Dabao and Erbao feed Tuantuan and Manman with Xiao Baoer. As for Sanbao, he knew very well that he was still young and it was good enough for him to be able to take care of himself, so every time this happened, he would just sit by and quietly eat the fruit prepared for him by his mother.

"Son, you take good care of yourself," Shen Zhensheng pinched his little face and teased him.

"Dad, eat, eat more," Sanbao stuffed a grape into Dad's mouth. Dad loved grapes the most.

"Okay, you eat too. After you finish eating, Dad will take you to the yard to play in the snow. The snow should be very thick by now."

The two little ones were very happy after eating the fruit puree, and stretched out their arms for their older brother to hold them. Xiao Baoer only dared to let Dabao and Erbao hold them for a while each time, and she had to stand by and watch over them.

"Son, Dad will take you to find Brother Xiaohe and the others to build a snowman together. This is your younger siblings' first winter, so let's take them out to play as well."

After Shen Zhensheng finished speaking, he said to Xiao Baoer, "Wife, you, Tuantuan and Manman just stay in the house and talk to mother and my fifth brother and his wife. I will play with the children."

It snowed heavily today. Last night, Shen's mother asked Shen Zhenjiang to come over and tell him that they were going to make dumplings together and eat at the old house.

The three children also wanted to join in the fun. Xiao Baoer had seldom eaten at the old house since the family split up. Now she thought it was nice to have a meal with her family occasionally.

"Okay, bring some spare ribs. We'll have dumplings today, and make some sweet and sour spare ribs. I'm sure the kids at my second brother's house will love them."

"Okay, I'll go get it. You help Tuan Tuan and Man Man put on some thick clothes."

The two of them started to get busy. In addition to the ribs, Shen Zhensheng also took some vegetables. There were few vegetables in winter and the villagers seldom had access to vegetables.

The two of them were holding Tuantuan and Manman, and their three sons were running in front of them. After a few steps, they arrived at the old house. The new house of Shen Laowu and his wife was right in front of the old house, closer than Shen Zhensheng.

"Mom, these are the ribs my wife asked me to get from home. I'll make some sweet and sour ribs later. The children will love them," Shen Zhensheng gave the ribs to Shen's mother.

"Let me do it, third brother. I learned how to make sweet and sour spare ribs from your wife," said Liu Ying.

The children all ran to the yard to play. Father Shen didn't know how to make dumplings, so he led them to play in the yard.

Jiang Yuqing and Shen Zhenjiang looked at Tuantuan and Manman. The two children were obedient, so they didn't need to hold them, they just needed to play with them.

"Mom, let me prepare the dumpling filling. You can come and help us make them later," Xiao Baoer said and went to the side to prepare the dumpling filling.

After the dumpling filling was mixed, several people started making dumplings, chatting while making dumplings. After Tuantuan and Manman fell asleep, Jiang Yuqing and Shen Zhenjiang also came to make dumplings together.

"Mom, this dumpling stuffing smells so good, I can tell it wasn't you who made it," Shen Zhenjiang teased his mother.

"How can mother make such a delicious dumpling filling? This is made by your third sister-in-law, and mother thinks it smells delicious too."

The more people there are, the faster they can make dumplings. Soon enough, they have made enough to eat. Shen Laoer also went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook dumplings.

"Mom, come and see the snowman my brother, sister and I made," Dabao came over and called Xiao Baoer.

Xiao Baoer followed him to see the snowman, and Shen's mother was really happy to see these children.

"Mom, it's only been a year and our family's life is different than before. It will be even better in the future."

Shen Zhensheng saw Shen's mother wiping her tears silently and he knew that they were tears of joy.

In the past, no matter how difficult or hard the days were, Shen's mother never shed tears. But now that life is better, she is shedding tears of joy.

"Hey, you're right. If mom is happy, our family will get better and better."

The whole family had a lively meal together. The children ate quite a lot and even finished a pot of sweet and sour spare ribs. Liu Ying's cooking skills are very good.

"Dad, don't eat Pi Pi."

Shen Zhensheng knew what Sanbao meant. This kid didn’t like to eat the dumpling skin when eating dumplings, and he would always leave the dumpling skin in the bowl.

"Sanbao, eat Pipi, otherwise your brother will be angry," Dabao stared at Sanbao with his round eyes.

Seeing that neither his parents spoke up for him, Sanbao could only pick up the spoon and start eating again, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Sanbao ate the dumpling skins fearlessly, and when he was done he opened his mouth wide to show his brother, "OK, Sanbao has finished all the skins."

“Well, don’t let daddy eat your leftovers from now on, or I’ll beat you up.”

"Got it, Sanbao can finish it by himself."

Several adults were watching Dabao educating Sanbao with a smile. Sometimes blood suppression is the best way.
