The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 125 A filial son-in-law is the best

Uncle Zhang drove a ox cart to take the family to Xiao Baoer's parents' home in Minzhu Village. Because Xiao Baoer's parents' home was in a small alley, it would be difficult for the ox cart to move later, so the family got off the ox cart at the entrance of the alley. After Shen Zhensheng paid the money and thanked Uncle Zhang, he left.

The three children couldn't wait to run to their grandmother's house. Shen Zhensheng carried some things and walked slowly with Xiao Baoer. He refused Xiao Baoer's offer to carry some things.

"Grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt," Dabao and Erbao started calling people sweetly as soon as they entered the door.

Xiao's mother and her four daughters-in-law were sewing clothes in the house. When they heard the voices of Dabao and Erbao in the yard, they quickly put down the clothes and came out. Xiao's mother saw her three eldest grandsons hugging her arms affectionately, and the four aunts were also very happy.

"My eldest grandson, where are your parents? Why did only the three of you come in?" Xiao's mother didn't see her daughter and son-in-law, and thought they were chatting with someone. She was afraid that her daughter would meet those idle women in the village again.

"Mom and Dad were walking behind us, we ran here," Dabao and Erbao held their grandmother's hands.

Xiao's mother and four daughters-in-law led the children to the door of their house, and Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng also walked to the door of their house.

Shen Zhensheng saw Xiao's mother and greeted her politely, "Mom, Baoer and I came to see you. Yesterday, I was paying the wages for building a house in the village. In the afternoon, the village also distributed grain and we couldn't leave, so we didn't come. Don't be offended, mom."

Xiao's mother was really satisfied with her son-in-law. Not to mention how good he had been to his daughter since he came back, even though his daughter had been acting badly and making trouble all day long when he was away from home on military duty, he had never treated her badly financially. When many people had no food to eat, his daughter was still eating rice and flour.

Mother Xiao spoke to Shen Zhensheng warmly, "Don't blame me, don't blame me. I know you are a sensible person. If you are busy at home, just take care of the housework first. Come in quickly, come in, old lady, go and get some water for your brother-in-law."

As he said that, he pulled Shen Zhensheng into the house without paying any attention to Xiao Baoer the whole time. Xiao Baoer followed him into the house with a helpless look on her face.

Xiao Baoer: Mom, do you see your daughter here?

The group entered the main hall, and Xiao Baoer handed the gifts to Xiao's mother. "Mom, these are some noodles, oil, pork, eggs, and apples. Dad and brother have been helping us these days and have suffered a lot. Please ask the sisters-in-law to make some good food for everyone to nourish their bodies. You can keep the malted milk for Dad to nourish his body."

"You are spending money recklessly again, kid. You have three children to raise. You will have to spend money a lot in the future. You have to be frugal. Don't worry about me and your father." Although Xiao's mother blamed him for spending money recklessly, the smile on her face could not deceive others.

Who wouldn't be happy to have a filial daughter and son-in-law? It's not really good for a daughter to be filial, but it's really good for a son-in-law to be filial. This shows that the daughter and her husband have a good relationship, and the son-in-law cares about both his daughter and his father because he truly loves his daughter.

Xiao Baoer had discussed with Shen Zhensheng yesterday that she would tell her mother's family about her pregnancy today to make her mother and father happy.

"Mom, now you have three children to raise, and you're going to be a grandmother soon. Are you happy?" Xiao Baoer said mysteriously.

Xiao's mother and sisters-in-law were all experienced people, and they immediately realized what this meant.

"Little sister, are you pregnant again? How many months?" asked the sister-in-law happily.

"Sister-in-law, it's been almost two months now. I wanted to wait until it was three months before telling everyone, but I can't wait any longer. I want to make everyone happy."

Mother Xiao nodded Xiao Baoer's head, and said with undisguised joy, "Girl, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier? It would be great if you were pregnant. It would be great if it was a little girl."

Xiao Baoer thought to herself, well, here comes another person who is looking forward to having a daughter. Perhaps her family is the only one that is looking forward to having a daughter so much.

Shen Zhensheng agreed with what Xiao's mother said, but he still said, "Both sons and daughters are good, but it would be even better if they look like Baoer."

The Xiao family was very happy to hear this. Xiao Baoer really married a good man and fell into a blessed home.

The second sister-in-law asked with concern, "Little sister, how are you eating recently? Have you vomited? Let me tell you, you have to force yourself to eat even if you vomit, otherwise the baby will not grow well."

Xiao Baoer touched her belly and smiled sweetly, "I'm fine, second sister-in-law. Zhensheng takes good care of me. He doesn't let me do anything at home and cooks everything I want to eat. The child is also very well behaved. I hardly vomited."

"That's good, that's good. My brother-in-law is a careful person. This way we can rest assured."

The Xiao family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. The third and fourth daughters were pregnant, and it was almost five months, and their daughters were pregnant again. This was really a great joy.

"By the way, where are Dad and my brother? Isn't there no work to do in the village now?"

Xiao's mother answered her daughter, "Aren't we going to make furniture for your new house? Your father went to the lumber mill in town to buy wood and other things, and your brother went to help bring it back."

"Mom, Zhensheng and I came here today to talk about furniture. Mom, here's 100 yuan. Zhensheng and I want to make a lot of furniture, and we don't know how much it will cost. This is for Dad to buy the materials first. I'll send him some more money later."

Xiao Baoer stuffed 100 yuan into Xiao's mother's pocket. Xiao's mother refused to take it, but Xiao Baoer finally stuffed it into her pocket.

Then she gave 20 yuan to Xiao's mother and 4 yuan to the second sister-in-law. Before the two asked, she said, "Mom, sisters-in-law, this 20 yuan is the labor fee for the 40 clothes made last time. Mom will divide the money according to how many clothes each sister-in-law made. I don't care about this.

Also, sister-in-law, these 4 yuan are the money I told you to pay for tailoring clothes. One piece of clothing costs 1 cents. These 4 yuan are what you deserve."

Xiao Baoer stated clearly how much money was spent on the clothes, but she didn't know how many pieces of clothing each sister-in-law made, as her mother was the one keeping track.

"Okay, then mother and your second sister-in-law will accept it. I will distribute it to your sisters-in-law later, and let your brothers and sisters-in-law save the money for themselves. Only when you have money in your hands can you feel less anxious."

If it was Xiao's mother herself, she would not accept the money, but these four daughters-in-law have also put in the work, so she should accept it. Besides, her daughters would not agree if she did not accept it.

After hearing what Xiao's mother said, the four daughters-in-law were very happy. They thought they were so lucky to have such a sensible mother-in-law. Not only did she never criticize her daughters-in-law like those old women in the village, but she also treated them equally, always making reasonable arguments and never blaming anyone without reason.

Besides, there is no daughter-in-law in this village who has money without dividing the family property. Even after the money and grain were distributed in the village, the most generous mother-in-law would only give her daughter-in-law one or two cents. But my mother-in-law actually told them to save the money for themselves, and I would feel guilty if I was not filial to her.

My father-in-law is the same. He is a skilled carpenter. He buys some meat for the family every month to fill his stomach with oil and water. He also sends all his grandchildren to school and does not favor boys over girls.

It can even be said that he is somewhat partial to his granddaughters, which means that the third and fourth children don't have to worry about whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and they feel much better when they are pregnant.

The parents-in-law are nice and the men in the family are well-educated. They never beat or scold their wives. Everything can be discussed easily and they always think of their wives and children when there is something delicious.

Therefore, the four sons of the Xiao family have never had a quarrel with their wives. Even in the past few years when the harvest was poor and everyone had no food to eat, there was no conflict in the small family.

What Xiao's mother and father regretted the most before was that they spoiled their little daughter, causing unrest in her husband's family. Now that their daughter has grown up and has a good relationship with her son-in-law, and is pregnant now, there is nothing at home that makes the two old people unhappy anymore, and they will live happily every day from now on.
