The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 236 How can the gap between people be so big?

The wages of the workers in the family, as well as the New Year gifts and red envelopes, had all been arranged. Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took their three children on a ox cart to her mother's house. In addition to the New Year gifts for her parents, Xiao Baoer also brought the raw materials for making soap.

She and Shen Zhensheng asked Zhou Bao to buy the raw materials and tried making soap. It was possible, and Shen Zhensheng had also learned how to make soap. The soap he made was no worse than the one Xiao Baoer made.

Uncle Zhang drove the ox cart to the entrance of the alley where Xiao Baoer's mother lived and then went back. Shen Zhensheng took the things and walked slowly home with Xiao Baoer. The three children had already run ahead.

"Look at these three little brats. They run around happily as soon as they arrive at grandma's house," Shen Zhensheng said to Xiao Baoer with a smile as he looked at the three little brats in front of him. Sanbao couldn't catch up with his older brothers and could only chase them while shouting "wait for him".

As soon as Dabao and Erbao ran to the door of the house, they started shouting for help. When the Xiao family heard Dabao and Erbao's voices, they hurried out of the house.

"My two older grandsons haven't been here for a long time. They miss their grandma so much," Xiao's mother squatted down and hugged the two children in her arms. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were very affectionate.

"Grandma, we miss you too. It's cold and dad doesn't let mom and me go out. We miss you every day," Erbao's sweet words made Xiao's mother very happy.

Father Xiao and his family had already gone out to pick up Sanbao and Xiao Baoer. When Mother Xiao walked to the door with the two children, Father Xiao had already picked up Sanbao.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng had only walked a few steps in the alley when they were tripped by someone in the alley. It was simply because he heard that Xiao Baoer would be recruiting after the New Year and wanted to get close to Xiao Baoer.

Xiao Baoer did not help them achieve their goal. She just exchanged a few simple pleasantries and did not talk to them about recruiting at all.

People in the village also heard that Xiao Baoer gave the workers she recruited a lot of valuable things as New Year gifts, even red envelopes, and the workers were paid higher wages. Even women who were good at needlework received 30 yuan a month.

When they heard that they could earn 20 or 30 yuan a month, their eyes became red. Even if all the men, women, young and old in the family went to work and earn work points, it would take a long time to earn that much money.

But the women in Xiao Baoer's husband's village can earn so much money in a month just by doing sewing and mending in the house. If Xiao Baoer can find a back door and become a worker, can't she earn the money herself?

Each of these people had an intention towards Xiao Baoer, so they would definitely greet her with a smile and speak to her more affectionately than the other. Among them were some women who had been gossiped about in the village and had been punished by Xiao's mother.

When Xiao's mother came out and saw her daughter was tripped by these old women, she quickly walked up to her daughter and said to the women, "What's going on? Don't you have daughters at home? Why are you all surrounding my daughter? If anything happens to my daughter, I will ask you all if it's your fault."

Xiao's mother is not a woman who is easy to mess with. Before, because of Xiao Baoer, Xiao's mother scolded the gossipers in the village. Later, the two daughters of Xiao's eldest uncle's family shamelessly wanted to live in Xiao Baoer's house, and Xiao's mother also gave those two shameless nieces a good beating.

Now everyone in the village knows that Xiao's mother either doesn't get angry or scolds you so badly that you have no chance to fight back, so these old women don't bother her much anymore.

Now, when they heard what Xiao's mother said, the women dispersed. Shen Zhensheng handed the things in his hands to his eldest brother and others, and helped Xiao Baoer back home.

"My daughter, those old women didn't do anything to you, did they?" Xiao's mother saw that her daughter was fine and had been well protected by her son-in-law, but she still had to check on her daughter's condition.

Xiao Baoer held her mother's hand, smiled and said softly, "Mom, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. After all, I'm a twin. They don't dare to touch me, and your son-in-law is protecting me."

The people of the Xiao family followed Xiao's mother and father back home. Xiao's eldest brother and Xiao's second brother walked behind with the things Xiao Baoer brought. When the villagers behind them saw the things in their hands, they gritted their teeth with jealousy.

Look at what other people's daughters bring when they go back to their parents' home. My own daughter either comes back empty-handed or comes back crying and covered in injuries. How can the gap between people be so big?

After the Xiao family arrived home, Xiao's mother helped Xiao Baoer sit down. The third and fourth sisters-in-law were about to give birth and had not gone out just now. They had already prepared hot tea at home.

"How's your appetite lately? Can you eat?"

Xiao's mother asked her daughter, saying that she had two daughters-in-law who were about to give birth, and she was too busy to take care of her daughters. If people gossiped about her daughter trying to sow discord between her and her daughters-in-law, it would be bad for her reputation.

"Mom, I'm fine. Zhensheng takes good care of me. I haven't vomited or felt uncomfortable. I can eat and sleep well every day. I have gained a lot of weight." When Xiao Baoer spoke to her mother, her voice unconsciously became soft, sounding like she was acting coquettish.

Hearing her daughter say this, Xiao's mother felt relieved. "That's good, that's good. Zhensheng, this woman is prone to lose her temper when she is pregnant. You should be more patient with this girl. If she quarrels with you, come and tell me, and I will teach her a lesson later."

Xiao's mother gave instructions to Shen Zhensheng, and her tone was full of love for her daughter.

Shen Zhensheng handed Xiao Baoer the water in front of her and asked her to drink it. "Drink some water, wife. You drank too little water today."

Then he smiled and said to Xiao's mother, "Mom, my wife is very obedient and kind to me and the children. We have never had a quarrel since I retired from the army. I don't have the heart to make her angry, and I won't make her angry."

Everyone in the Xiao family was very happy to hear Shen Zhensheng's words. The thing the Xiao family wanted to see most was that Xiao Baoer was cherished.

Not only were they happy, Xiao Baoer was also very happy to hear Shen Zhensheng's words. Her grandfather had once told Xiao Baoer that no matter how good a man's words were, they were useless because you could only look at his actions.

Now Xiao Baoer felt that she understood this sentence. Shen Zhensheng's actions were enough to show his love. The love he gave to Xiao Baoer was wholehearted and sincere.

After the family chatted for a while, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng mentioned the issue of work.

"Dad, Mom, Bao'er bought a job for my fifth brother before. Now that the job is vacant, Bao'er and I want Dad, Mom and my brothers to discuss who should take the job."

When Xiao's parents heard this, they were stunned for a moment. Xiao's mother asked, "What about Zhenjiang? Why did he quit his good job?"

Shen Zhensheng explained, "Mom, I'm going to work in the town's transport team after the New Year as a truck driver. Lao Wu will follow me to the transport team as a co-pilot. He's young and wants to go out and see the world. He doesn't feel at ease in the town."

Xiao Baoer glanced at the people in the room and added a few more words, "This job is a temporary job for the first month, 15 yuan a month, and after it is converted to a regular job, it will be about 40 yuan a month. You can ask Lao Wu about the specific salary when the time comes.

Mom, you can discuss with your brothers and sisters-in-law later to see who is the most suitable person to go. However, our brothers who can't go to work don't have to worry. Zhensheng and I have thought of ways for you to make money, and we guarantee that you will not be looked down upon by your sisters-in-law. "

Xiao Baoer also playfully joked on his brothers and sisters-in-law, and everyone in the room laughed.
