Chapter 267 Let's help him if we can
"Wife, I'll put breakfast on the table for you when I go to work tomorrow morning. Just get up and eat with your son."
Shen Zhensheng had to go to town before dawn tomorrow, so he told Xiao Baoer in advance so that she wouldn't have to rush to prepare breakfast for the child.
"Okay, you must eat before you leave. You will drive yourself this time. When it's time to eat at noon, you can enter the space and eat with us. I will prepare the meal in advance, so it won't delay your driving time much."
Shen Zhensheng also had this plan. If they were traveling long distances, Shen Zhenjiang would follow him in the car 24 hours a day, and he would have no chance to enter the space at all. Short distances were better, as the driving time was shorter and there was plenty of time to rest in between.
"Got it. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
Shen Zhensheng got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for his wife and children. After he finished his meal, he rode his bicycle to the transport team in the town. The goods had already been loaded on the truck, so he just had to leave.
Shen Zhenjiang started to get himself ready early this morning. Shen's father and mother even put on their best clothes, fearing that Jiang Yuqing's parents would have a problem with them. If Yuqing's parents had a problem with them because of them, how could they face the fifth child?
But when Jiang Yuqing's parents arrived, they found that although they were city people and factory leaders, the couple were very nice and kind, and they were particularly pleased when they saw Shen Zhenjiang.
"Sister, Yuqing has been spoiled by me and his father. You have to take care of her in the future," Jiang's mother also asked Shen's mother.
In fact, before coming to the village, Jiang's father and mother were very worried about whether Jiang Yuqing was living well here. Although she said in the letter that she was living very well here, as parents they still wanted to see their daughter and son-in-law with their own eyes.
Shen's mother also held Jiang's mother's hand and said, "Sister, please don't say that. Yuqing is such a good child. I'm not afraid of you getting angry. This child treats me and the old man as if they were his own parents and is filial to them. The mothers-in-law in this village are all envious of me for having such a daughter-in-law."
Mother Jiang looked at her daughter with a loving face. She had indeed grown up and looked in good spirits.
"Why should you be angry? It's only right for Yuqing to respect you. Her father and I are very happy. Yuqing told us in letters and on the phone that you all treat her as a family member. She also said that Zhenjiang not only has good parents, but also a good brother and sister-in-law, who have helped them two young people a lot."
After hearing what Jiang's father and mother said, Shen's father and mother were extremely grateful that they had driven out those two troublesome families, otherwise it would be hard to say whether the fifth son would be able to find a wife.
"My two daughters-in-law are really good, sensible and capable. My third daughter-in-law is pregnant again. She just asked my eldest grandson to come over, saying that the youngest grandson would come over after drinking milk."
As soon as Shen's mother finished speaking, Xiao Baoer came over with the child and startled Jiang's mother as soon as she entered the room.
In her letter, Jiang Yuqing praised Xiao Baoer as her life goal and the direction of her progress. Jiang's mother only thought that Xiao Baoer was a strong woman who must be very smart and have a good business sense, but she didn't expect that she was such a pretty girl.
Xiao Baoer was wearing a long white cashmere jacket today. She had no makeup on her face but looked pure and elegant. I didn't expect that she was so beautiful.
"Auntie, uncle, hello, welcome to our home," Xiao Baoer greeted Jiang's father and mother as soon as she entered the house.
When Jiang's mother heard Xiao Bao'er talking, she stood up in a hurry, took her hand and helped her sit down, "This is Bao'er, Yuqing has mentioned her many times in the letter. My daughter, thank you for taking care of Yuqing."
Xiao Baoer smiled and said, "Auntie, Yuqing is smart and capable, and I didn't help much. Thank you uncle and aunt for the gifts you gave to the children last time. They liked them very much. Son, thank grandpa and grandma quickly."
The three white and tender little meat balls shouted sweetly, "Thank you grandma, thank you grandpa."
Jiang's mother was so happy looking at the three little kids. They were so good-looking. If Yuqing could have a child like them in the future, she and her father would wake up laughing in their dreams.
"Oh, so good, they are all good children."
Xiao Baoer chatted with them for a while. Because Jiang's father and mother still had work to do and could only stay here for four or five days, Jiang's father did not hesitate and discussed the marriage of Jiang Yuqing and Shen Zhenjiang directly with Shen's father and mother.
Shen's father and mother talked to Jiang's father and mother about what Shen Zhenjiang said. The betrothal gift was 688 yuan, three turns and one ring. Yuqing firmly did not want a sewing machine, so they bought her some new clothes and new shoes, and started building a brick house next month.
Jiang's father and mother did not expect that the Shen family would give Yuqing so much dowry, but they knew that this showed the importance the Shen family attached to their daughter. Their daughter would definitely have a good life in the future as she had such sensible in-laws.
"Big sister, thank you for taking Yuqing seriously. His father and I have prepared a dowry for her, so that these two young people will have more money in their hands when the time comes."
Jiang's father and mother did prepare a dowry for Jiang Yuqing. They originally thought that the Shen family might not be able to afford the three-turn and one-ring, so they planned to buy everything for Yuqing. Now that the Shen family wants to buy it, they will change the 1000 yuan dowry money into 2000 yuan, so that their daughter and son-in-law can live a comfortable life.
"Uncle, Auntie, I will definitely treat Yuqing well in the future and will never let her suffer."
Shen Zhenjiang's expression was also very tactful. Jiang's father and mother were also very satisfied with him. The young man was good-looking and very motivated. The most important thing was that he was good to their daughter, and their daughter was devoted to him.
The two families discussed it well and decided to get the two engaged two days later. After the engagement, the two young people would work hard for their own small family.
Xiao Baoer thought that Shen Zhensheng was going to the space to eat at noon, so she did not stay in the old house to eat and took the child back home.
When the family was sitting together for dinner, Xiao Baoer also talked to Shen Zhensheng about Jiang's father and mother. Shen Zhensheng was very happy to know that the fifth brother was going to get engaged in two days, as even his youngest brother was going to get married.
"Wife, have some more beef noodles. Look, these three little brats have eaten so much that they have become like little cats," Shen Zhensheng handed Xiao Baoer another small bowl of beef noodles, which smelled delicious.
"Okay, then can you take a leave the day after tomorrow? There will be many people coming to Lao Wu's family for his engagement, so it won't be good if you are not here, right?"
Shen Zhensheng said he would take a leave of absence. Recently, the transport team had enough drivers, so he would let someone else take over the shift first, and then he could replace someone else later if he had something else to do.
"Wife, I'll take out a few fish from my space when I get home from get off work this afternoon. There are no fish in the village river right now. We'll need them for the engagement party for the fifth son the day after tomorrow, so I won't let my parents go through the trouble of buying them."
"Go ahead and take some fish and a few pounds of pork belly. Just say you bought them there when you were delivering the goods. Tomorrow, Lao Wu will go up the mountain to see if there are any pheasants or rabbits. I'll tell Xiao Pu Tao to help Lao Wu in the evening."
In this way, the engagement banquet of the fifth brother will not make Jiang's father and mother dissatisfied. There are fish, pork, pheasant and rabbit. This banquet is the best no matter where it is.
"Okay, I'll take it back after work. Wife, you're so nice."
Xiao Baoer smiled. Why was this man moved again?
"Of course I am. We should be nice to whoever is nice to our family. Isn't that how people win hearts? Besides, Lao Wu is also following you in the transportation business now. He can help you a lot. Let's help him as much as we can."
Xiao Baoer has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. She has never been stingy with Shen Laoer's family, Shen Laowu and Shen Xiuxiu, but it is impossible for Shen Laoda and Shen Laosi's families to take advantage of her.
"My wife is right. Eat quickly. After dinner, play with the children for a while. Then you can take a nap. I will be home when you wake up."
When Shen Zhensheng came back, he brought fish and pork belly, and Xiao Baoer later added spare ribs. It would be nice to have more spare rib soup on the table.
