The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 261: Win-win situation for both parties

About another week has passed. The factory will be completed today and Shen Zhensheng will be back soon.

Xiao Baoer and the children had been waiting at the door for a long time, but it was almost dark and Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang still hadn't returned.

"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

"That's right, you're not coming back today?"

The three children were all eager to see their father and were getting a little anxious waiting.

"Let's wait a little longer. Dad might come back late because of something at work."

Xiao Baoer was also a little anxious, but she was not worried. When Shen Zhensheng arrived in the town in the afternoon, he had already avoided people and entered the space to tell her that he would be home in the afternoon. He had now arrived at the town’s transport team to hand over the car.

He hasn't come back yet at this time, so something must have held him back.

When the three Xiao Baoers and the three children were eagerly waiting, Shen Zhensheng finally came back. The three children saw him from a distance and ran over in a hurry to pick up their father.

"Dad, Dad, you're back. We've been waiting anxiously," the three children shouted as they ran.

Shen Zhensheng stopped his bicycle and asked Shen Zhenjiang to push Dabao and Erbao on the bicycle. Sanbao was too young to ride the bicycle by himself, so he carried Sanbao home.

"Wife, I'm back. I guess you must be waiting anxiously."

Xiao Baoer replied with a smile, "I'm fine, but your three sons are getting impatient and keep asking why daddy hasn't come back yet."

Not long after the family returned home, Shen's father and Xiao's father came home. The factory building had been completely built and now it just needed to be dried for a few days before it could be put into use.

"Dad, you all have worked hard. Thanks for your concern," Shen Zhensheng said to his father and father-in-law.

"What are you talking about? Isn't it normal for your father and I to worry about you? If you need a few stools and tables, as well as boards for cloth and ready-made clothes, just write it down on a piece of paper and give it to me. I will lead your brother and the others to make them in the next few days, so you won't be delayed in using them."

Xiao Baoer had told Xiao's father a few days ago that he needed to make some tables and chairs after the factory was built, and Xiao's father took it to heart.

After Mr. Shen and Mr. Xiao left, the family went back to eat. As it was getting late, they were not invited to stay for dinner. They had already agreed that everyone would come to their house for dinner the next morning to celebrate the completion of the factory.

In the evening, the two of them calculated how much each person would be paid. Xiao Baoer took out tomorrow's wages for the workers, and the two of them prepared a thank-you gift in a net bag.

The thank-you gift included 1 pound of pork and four apples, and nothing else was prepared. After all, the wages this time were not low.

Before going to bed, the three children recited to their father the ancient poems and Chinese characters that their mother had taught them during the week. The handwriting of the eldest and second child was stronger than before.

Shen Zhensheng always praises the three children. Now he turns into the god of praise, praising the three children until they are very happy.

During the evening rest, Shen Zhensheng told Xiao Baoer about the business negotiation regarding the sports car.

"Wife, I went to the black market this time. They have two black markets, one big and one small, but they are quite competitive. I talked to both of them, and they all hoped that I would only supply supplies to one of them."

"And then, did you finally reach an agreement? I think you definitely want to choose the bigger one."

Shen Zhensheng laughed after hearing what his wife said, "You are wrong. As for me, I have cooperated with both companies, but the things we cooperate on are different. The big one is clothing, bags and meat, and the small one is grain and fruit."

"Then will they agree? Who doesn't want to monopolize the business?"

In fact, who doesn't want to develop their own business and make more money? They just want to be the only one in the market and avoid having to compete with others for their business.

"I agreed, because the two companies came to me the next day and said that they had reached a cooperation agreement and both parties would win. I don't know the details of how they negotiated. The total payment for the goods this time was 5 yuan, and 1000 sets of clothing and 500 bags were ordered. The price was set according to the price you told me."

Xiao Baoer calculated the current number of orders in her mind. Zhou Bao's order can be completed tomorrow. The next step is to complete the two orders negotiated by Shen Zhensheng.

"Okay, I calculated that I have enough time. I recruited some people last week. They are not from our village, but were introduced by people who work there. Aunt Song Yun and I have observed them and found that they are all honest people who don't talk much but do their work meticulously."

The two also agreed to treat their family to dinner tomorrow, go to the county hospital for a check-up the day after tomorrow, and then go to see the house that Shen Zhensheng bought in the county.

The next morning after breakfast, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer began to prepare ingredients for the morning.

"Honey, we have prepared hot pot, barbecue, and stir-fry for this morning. We have to use both the big and small tables today. There are people on both sides and children, so one table won't be enough for them."

"Okay, we've already prepared the ingredients and fruits. I'll go find Lao Wu to help me move the table."

Shen Zhensheng took his three children to the old house, and Xiao Baoer was alone at home cutting fruit.

Before Shen Zhensheng came back, Xiao Baoer told him that she wanted to treat her family to a meal, so she asked him to take out a lot of fruits from the space when Shen Zhenjiang was not paying attention, and told Shen Zhenjiang that she bought them here and brought them home.

After a while, the few people came back noisily. Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang prepared the table, chairs and coal stove, and they also cut the meat and vegetables.

The whole Xiao family is here today. Xiao Baoer specifically told Xiao's father yesterday to ask Xiao's mother and several sisters-in-law to come as well, so that everyone can have a meal together and have a lively time.

"Little sister, I haven't been here since your house was built. It's so magnificent," Xiao's eldest sister-in-law exclaimed as she got off the ox cart at the door and saw the magnificent brick house in front of her.

"Mom, sister-in-law, the interior of my younger sister's house is very grand, you should hurry in and take a look," said Xiao Laosi as he supported his wife.

As soon as Shen's mother and Xiao's mother met, they were very affectionate. They sat together holding hands and talked, and they became happier and happier as they talked.

Xiao Baoer took several sisters-in-law around the house, and they were all envious.

"Little sister, I'm so envious of you for keeping your house so nice. Look at how grand the rooms of Dabao and his three brothers are."

"The three children had to squeeze into one room. Now they are all living in Dabao's room. Their own clothes and shoes are in the closet in their own room. This closet was made by our father. Dad has good craftsmanship and the furniture he makes is also beautiful."

Xiao Baoer also took them to visit the old courtyard to see how the workers were working. The sisters-in-law were all interested and wanted to come and work with them. It was so lively to chat and laugh with everyone.
