Chapter 306: All Tempers Are Good
It rained for five consecutive days. On the fifth day, the rain was much lighter. Shen Zhensheng couldn't stay at home, so after discussing with Xiao Baoer, he put on his raincoat and rain boots and went to the town to find Zhou Bao.
"Brother Sheng, come in quickly. If you don't come to see me, I will have to go to your house to find you and sister-in-law." Zhou Bao opened the door and saw that it was Shen Zhensheng. He was shocked but also a little happy.
It had rained heavily in the past few days and there was not much business in the black market, so Zhou Bao asked his brothers to go home and rest. Only he and a brother who had nowhere to go stayed in the black market.
"Brother Sheng, this is my new tea. Try it and see how it tastes. I'll give you some when I leave."
Shen Zhensheng sat on the stool and drank a sip of tea. "It tastes good. You just said you were going to look for me. Is there something wrong?"
"Brother Sheng, yesterday a man came here in the heavy rain to buy food from me. I saw that he was acting sneaky and too cautious, so I became more cautious and forced him to tell me the purpose of buying food."
"From what you said, this grain has a great use?"
"Yes, he said that there are many brothers who are doing disaster relief. There are too many brothers and disaster victims there, and a large amount of food needs to be transported to the disaster area."
Shen Zhensheng frowned. This was the same as what Xiao Pu Tao said. It seemed that the flood occurred in more than one place Xiao Pu Tao mentioned.
"Can that person be trusted? After all, the food needs to be delivered to the brothers and the victims, so there can be no mistakes."
Zhou Bao nodded, "Brother Sheng, I have been in the army after all, and I have a place in the black market. Don't you know my abilities?"
What Zhou Bao said was right. He was indeed a careful person and there shouldn't be any mistakes in this matter.
"How much do you need?"
After Zhou Bao told the quantity, Shen Zhensheng did not immediately answer that there was food. He only said that it would take time to collect the food, and the time would not be too long, so he asked Zhou Bao to make an appointment with the man.
As for the price, Shen Zhensheng repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Bao that the price should be lower than usual, and that this batch of grain should not earn the troops more money.
Shen Zhensheng cleaned the yard where Zhou Bao always delivered the goods, and then put the quantity of supplies that Zhou Bao had just mentioned in the house.
He went to tell Zhou Bao again and asked him to take the man to get the supplies tomorrow afternoon. He had already made the contact and would deliver them to the small courtyard as soon as possible.
After finishing his work, he went home while the rain was light, fearing that his wife and children at home would worry.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he met the team leader and his second uncle's son. After asking about the situation, he learned that his second uncle's leg was broken and the village doctor couldn't cure him at all. He had to be sent to the town clinic for treatment while the rain was light.
When Shen Zhensheng got home, Xiao Baoer was taking the three children to have lunch. Not knowing when Shen Zhensheng would get home, Xiao Baoer did not wait for him to eat. Since there were children at home, they had to eat on time.
"You're back, go take a shower and change your clothes, I'll serve you some rice."
Although Shen Zhensheng was wearing a raincoat, he was still quite wet.
After taking a shower, he sat down to eat, and Xiao Baoer handed him a bowl of three-fresh soup.
"What did Zhou Bao say?"
"Someone went to ask him about the food. I left the food for him in the small yard. Just ask him to bring people to take it away tomorrow. Zhou Bao will pay for it next time."
"Okay, as long as I can help, let's eat quickly. Today's three-fresh soup is delicious. The children said it tastes better than pork ribs soup."
"Okay, wife, you eat too. Eat more meat. You are too thin."
After dinner, Shen Zhensheng took the children to assemble toys in the toy room. Tuantuan fell asleep, and Manman was held in Shen Zhensheng's arms. Xiao Baoer made the children's favorite cheese baked goods in the kitchen and let them eat them after they woke up from their afternoon nap.
"Mom, can we make some hot orange water?"
"Yes, Mommy will do it for me. You guys play with Daddy first."
Xiao Baoer made hot orange tea for the children in the kitchen. The weather was a bit cold now, so the children could not drink those cold drinks anymore.
After the lunch break, when the family was having afternoon tea, Little Grape said someone was knocking on the door.
They left the child in the space, and the two of them went out of the space together to check the situation. After Shen Zhensheng opened the door, he saw Aunt Song Yun and several workers from the factory, so he let them into the house.
They came to ask Xiao Baoer if they could start work as usual tomorrow since the rain had stopped. It was not good to just stay idle at home.
Xiao Baoer had also thought about this problem, but she was worried that the weather was bad and the room was too dark, which would affect the workers' eyesight. If the products produced were defective, it would be better not to do it.
After Xiao Baoer expressed her concerns, Aunt Song Yun expressed her thoughts, "How about this, we'll see what the situation is tomorrow. If the light in the house is good, we'll do it. If it's too dark, we'll go home quickly. We can't make do with what we have."
Xiao Baoer naturally had no objection to Aunt Song Yun's idea. It all depended on what happened tomorrow.
After a few people left, the two of them closed the door and went into the space to see the children. Xiao Baoer was actually also worried about the order. It would be a troublesome thing if the order could not be completed.
"Wife, don't worry. I think the rain will stop tomorrow, so we should be able to start work as usual."
"There's no point in worrying. Just take it one step at a time. The room is full of fabrics, and we can't light candles or anything like that. Using solar lights is even more unrealistic. Anyway, the goods you took with you to work this time have already been rushed out, so other orders will have to come in slowly."
The two of them held Tuan Tuan and Man Man in their arms and coaxed them. The little guys woke up and refused to lie in the stroller.
"Mom, do my younger brothers and sisters want to eat snacks? You can give them Erbao's food," Erbao was eating baked egg milk with a small spoon and fed his mother a mouthful.
"The younger brother and sister can eat it in a few months. They can't eat it now. The second baby can eat it by himself."
“Okay then,” Erbao started eating again, he loved the desserts made by his mother the most.
"Wife, look how bright Manman's eyes are. She likes to stare at whoever hugs her. Her little mouth is so small," Shen Zhensheng was really happy looking at his daughter. He was also a man with a lovely daughter.
"Tuan Tuan and Man Man's personalities should be reversed. Tuan Tuan is too quiet now, while Man Man is more noisy."
Although both children are obedient and rarely cry, Manman is obviously more active than Tuantuan. Tuantuan prefers quietness and can play by himself for a long time.
"No matter what their temperament is, they are all our children. I think my daughter has a good temperament and is lively and cheerful."
Xiao Baoer also said to him with a smile, "Your daughter is good in your eyes, but in your heart she is the best."
"My wife is the best in my heart."
