Chapter 237 I choose it willingly
"Mom, my wife and I have to make our stance clear first. I don't want this job. My wife is about to give birth and I want to be with her. It will take a whole day to go to work in town. Even if I go to work, I am worried about my wife and newborn baby." Xiao Laosi expressed his stance seriously.
Xiao Laosi's wife nodded with a smile on her face, and said to Xiao's mother seriously, "Mom, we don't want this job. We are the youngest in the family, and it shouldn't be our turn to get this job.
Besides, I'm about to give birth, and although my mother and my elder and second sisters-in-law are at home to take care of me, I still want him to be with me and the baby."
Like the fourth brother and his wife, Xiao Laosan and his wife made it clear that they did not want this job. Both couple wanted to stay at home and accompany their newborn child.
Xiao's father and mother were very happy and relieved to see that the third and fourth children were so sensible.
"Third and fourth sons, you are both good, and your daughter-in-law is also sensible," Xiao's mother praised her two younger sons and daughters-in-law.
Xiao Laoer's wife also said, "Mom, let's give this job to our eldest brother. His children are grown up now, and it costs a lot to send them to school. He is the eldest in the family, and he doesn't fight for anything all day long. Our eldest sister-in-law has been very caring and tolerant to us sisters-in-law over the years, so this job should be given to our eldest brother."
Xiao Laoer was very touched when he heard his wife say this. It was such a blessing for him that his wife could consider the overall situation.
"Yes, mother, what my wife said is exactly what I want to say. Let's give this job to the eldest brother. The third and fourth brothers and I have no objection."
Xiao Lao was embarrassed to accept the job given up by his three younger brothers. He was about to say something when his father stopped him. "Lao, you learned carpentry from me, but now there is not much work to do all year round. If your brothers are willing to give you the job, just take it. Don't forget the kindness of your younger sister and brother-in-law."
Xiao's mother also told Xiao Lao Da the same thing, and Xiao Lao Da accepted the job, "Dad and Mom, then I will accept it. I will bear the love of my three brothers and my younger sister's families in my heart."
Sister-in-law Xiao also expressed her gratitude sincerely, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much. Sister-in-law will remember your kindness."
Shen Zhensheng was very moved and had many emotions when he saw how united and sensible the Xiao family was. If it had happened in the past when his family had not split up or severed ties, this job would probably have turned the whole family upside down. But it was not like this. His father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't have to worry about it at all. His brothers and sisters-in-law discussed and agreed on it, and they all made their own choices willingly.
"Little sister, big brother will slowly pay you back part of the money from this job every month," said Boss Xiao.
"Brother, we are a family and we don't talk about this. We will give you whatever we have when we have enough money. After the New Year, as soon as we go back to work at the factory, let the fifth brother take you to handle the formalities," Shen Zhensheng said to his brother-in-law.
After arranging the work issue, Xiao Baoer started talking about the way to make money mentioned earlier.
"Brother, I'm going to let Zhensheng teach you how to make soap. We brought all the raw materials today, and Zhensheng will teach you in a while."
"Soap? What soap?" Several brothers and sisters-in-law asked in unison.
"Yes, soap, but not the kind sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. You are asked to make milk soap and essential oil soap. We may add other types in the future."
"Little sister, can these old men learn it? They are so clumsy," Xiao Ersao teased the old men.
"Second sister-in-law, how can you not learn it? I tried to do it with Zhensheng before, and Zhensheng did it very well. My brothers can definitely learn it too."
"How can it be the same? Even the snacks that we and mom make are made by Zhensheng. Your brothers have never done anything," the sisters-in-law still didn't believe that the brothers could make soap.
The brothers were actually motivated, "Who are you looking down on? We can definitely learn from our brother-in-law."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Zhensheng to make soap. His sisters-in-law, parents, and Xiao Baoer all laughed so hard and were touched by the cuteness of his brothers.
When Shen Zhensheng was teaching them, the older brothers were very serious and even wrote it down with pen and paper for fear that they would not remember it.
"Zhensheng, how come a man like you can do everything? You can make snacks, boil soups and cook, and now you can even make soap," the fourth brother sighed at Shen Zhensheng's omnipotence and admired him so much.
"Brother, it's not that exaggerated. These things were all taught to me by Baoer. She likes to read books and ponder. After she learned something, she taught me how to do it together. Gradually, I learned more and more things."
Several people were learning how to make soap there seriously. The eldest and second sister-in-law went to the kitchen to cook, while Xiao's mother and three pregnant women sat in the room chatting.
"Wife, did Sanbao drink milk just now?" Shen Zhensheng came into the room and asked Xiao Baoer.
"He drank it. Mom just made him a cup of milk powder and I also gave him a cheese stick. The kids were playing outside, so I asked Sanbao to take it out and share it with them."
Shen Zhensheng was relieved. Xiao's mother thought Sanbao was hungry, so she asked, "Is Sanbao's milk powder enough? If not, make another cup."
"No, Mom, Sanbao is always talking at home. Zhensheng is afraid that he will make trouble when he is idle, so he came to ask," Xiao Baoer explained.
"You have three little boys to raise, but you really raised them well. Look at their chubby faces, especially Sanbao's wobbly way when he walks. They are so cute," the third sister-in-law touched her belly and praised the three children. She wanted to give birth to a little lucky doll like these three children.
"Then you haven't seen him when he was playing. Sanbao is a very cunning boy. He thinks about eating all day long, and he has to bring his brother to eat together so that his parents won't just blame him."
Several people were laughing at Sanbao. Sanbao came back staggering with an empty bottle in his hand. He was stunned when he saw several people looking at him and laughing.
"Mom, the baby has finished drinking, it's empty," Sanbao showed the bottle to his mother.
"That's great. Go play with your brothers and sisters. You'll have some meat to eat later," Xiao Baoer wiped his little mouth and coaxed him to go play.
Shen Zhensheng took him out to play again. Shen Zhensheng went to watch his brothers making soap. They were more serious than each other.
After lunch, Shen Zhensheng talked to his brothers about removing the film and drying the products after they had cooled. He asked them to put them away first and take them away when he came next time. When he went to the town to trade, he would ask Zhou Bao and Xie Lan if they wanted to buy them. If they didn’t, he would take them all to other places to sell them when he traveled long distances.
In the afternoon, the three children were a little tired from playing, so Xiao Baoer asked Xiao Lao Da to find a ox cart in the village to take them back to the village.
As soon as I got home, I brought my three children into the space. After they washed their hands, faces and feet, they went to bed for a nap. I didn't even need to coax them to sleep.
Seeing that the children were asleep, Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer also went to bed for a nap. Xiao Baoer now wanted to lie down for a while all the time as she was rather lazy.
After they woke up from their nap, the children were still sleeping soundly. Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng prepared food for them. After that, they went to pick out New Year gifts for the children.
"Wife, what do you want to give the children?"
Xiao Baoer smiled mysteriously, "Keep it a secret. You can guess what I want to give you."
Shen Zhensheng saw that the two were walking in the same direction they had chosen a bicycle for the child that day. Could it be that his wife wanted the child to ride an electric scooter?
