The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 222 What can we do?

After Shen Zhensheng finished sweeping the snow, he entered the space. Xiao Baoer's jam had been partially cooked and was now drying on the side. After it cooled down, it would be put into jars.

Three children were sitting on the first floor watching a children's movie. A plate of fruits and macarons were placed for them. The eldest and second children sat side by side, and the third child sat in the eldest's arms, watching the movie attentively. The main reason was that they had never seen it before, so they felt it was new.

"Wife, didn't you want your son to watch TV before? Why did you let him watch it again?"

Xiao Baoer looked at the three children in the living room and said with a smile, "The three children have nothing to play with except toys. It's good for them to watch TV and movies to learn more. Anyway, they will forget about the space after leaving it."

"Okay, you see they seem quite happy watching it. The snow outside has stopped, so I swept the snow off the roof and in the yard. Now the yard is clean."

Xiao Baoer was still busy with her hands, and Shen Zhensheng took the tools from her to help stir.

"Okay, didn't my son say he wanted to eat barbecue yesterday? Let's take them to eat in the morning."

The two of them were busy in the kitchen together. Later, Shen Zhensheng saw that she was not idle, so he moved a chair for her to sit down. He didn't let her do anything anymore. He just let her do it herself and watch whether she did it right.

After the jam was done, they turned the things in the oven over and continued baking. Then the two of them took the children out of the space, and when they were ready to cook later, they asked Shen Zhensheng to come in and get the ingredients.

After leaving the space, the three children couldn't bear the snow and insisted on going to play with their brother Xiaohe and sisters. Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer took them for a stroll in the old house.

The three children were running in front, Shen Zhensheng supported Xiao Baoer and walked slowly. If Xiao Baoer walked a little faster, Shen Zhensheng would get very nervous and kept muttering to himself, "Wife, slow down, wife, slow down..."

Xiao Baoer's ears hurt from his mumbling and she wanted to jog a few steps to show him.

But they finally arrived. Xiao Baoer was thinking that if she didn't get to the old house, she would go back home.

The three children ran to the old house. Xiaohe and Damei were playing there, so it was a good opportunity for them to play with them.

Shen's mother, Shen Xiuxiu and Liu Ying were making cakes, Shen's father was making a fire, and Shen Laoer and Shen Zhenjiang were sweeping the snow.

"Third brother and sister-in-law, you are here. Mother was just complaining that third sister-in-law must be bored at home," Shen Xiuxiu came out of the kitchen and talked to Shen Zhensheng and the others with a smile.

It wasn't that stuffy, but Xiao Baoer couldn't go out because of the snow, which had a huge impact on her career. She was anxious to recruit people to learn embroidery and knitting sweaters, and she had to develop her clothing business.

"What kind of pastries were made today?" Xiao Baoer smelled the fragrance of the pastries and wanted to eat some.

Shen Xiuxiu went in and brought her a piece of freshly-made yam cake, "Sister-in-law, eat it while it's hot and see if it tastes good."

Xiao Baoer took a bite and said, "Mmm, it's delicious. Mother and second sister-in-law are both very good at cooking now. It's even better than what your third brother made."

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng didn't want to go into the house and wanted to breathe some fresh air outside, so they chatted with Shen Zhenjiang and others in the yard. Shen Zhensheng also helped to sweep the snow.

"Old Five, did you and Second Brother go to deliver tea eggs today? How's business going?"

"Yes, Brother Tiezhu sold all the items yesterday. When I went to deliver them today, he gave me the money. I thought it was snowing and cold, so I gave Brother Tiezhu two more dollars. I've already told my second brother and dad about it."

Shen Zhensheng felt that Lao Wu had thought this through very carefully. Since people were brave enough to brave the wind and snow to sell goods in the alleys, he should at least give them some hard-earned money.

Xiao Baoer also suggested that they sell more things, "Old Five, you and the second brother can make more things, and ask Zhou Bao if he can find another person to sell the goods, and let Tiezhu continue to sell chestnuts and tea eggs."

It would certainly be a good thing to sell more goods and make more money, but I don’t know anything. I learned the skills of making pastries, tea eggs and fried chestnuts from my third brother and his wife.

"Third sister-in-law, we can't do anything, what can we do?"

Xiao Baoer smiled, "You don't know how to do it, but your third brother and I do. Have you forgotten that I have a skill that the captain praised highly. Can you remember it?"

Shen Laowu really didn't remember it, not to mention that Shen Xiuxiu was not at home because she was at school before, so she definitely didn't know either.

Father Shen came out of the kitchen. He had heard what they said just now. Thinking about it carefully, could it be that they were talking about the craftsmanship of stewing pork?

"Old Third's, are you talking about the skill of stewing pig offal?"

Shen Zhensheng even kicked Shen Laowu and said, "You idiot, your memory is worse than our father's. Have you never tasted the stewed pork made by your third sister-in-law? How can ordinary people cook the taste like that?"

"Third sister-in-law, can you teach me? I can learn. I can do anything as long as I can make more money," Shen Laowu was full of motivation at the thought of making money.

"That's nothing. It's not a big deal to teach you. Later, you and your second brother go to the town to deliver tea eggs and bring back a set of pig offal. Then ask your third brother to teach you.

Generally, no one buys pig offal. If it is not handled properly, it tastes terrible. The price is cheap and no ticket is required. I can sell you a lot of it for a few cents. If you can sell it, you can make a profit by selling it for 3 cents per pound. "

Shen Zhenjiang thought about it and felt that what his third sister-in-law said was right. Generally, there would be leftover pig offal in meat shops every day. People nowadays don't know how to handle pig offal, and it doesn't taste good when cooked, so they won't waste money buying that stuff.

"Okay, Sister-in-law, I'll buy it back tomorrow, and then I'll trouble you to teach me."

Shen's mother and Liu Ying also came out from the kitchen and took out some egg yolk pastry for Xiao Baoer to eat.

"Old Third, how are your meals these days? Have the two kids been bothering you?"

Xiao Baoer touched her belly and smiled, "No, the two children are so well behaved, and I have a good appetite. I have to eat several meals a day. And with the three children and Zhensheng eating with me, my appetite is even better."

Shen's mother also teased Shen Zhensheng, "I just said that I think the third child has gained a lot of weight recently. Third child, you should eat less, otherwise you will get fat and scare the baby in your wife's belly."

Several people were amused by what Shen's mother said, but Shen Zhensheng still felt aggrieved, "Mom, I'm not that fat. I just have some fat on my face, not on my body. My wife is unhappy if I don't eat, but she is happy only when I am fat."

"Mom, what Zhensheng said is true. My child and I can't eat that much. If he doesn't eat it, won't it be a waste?"

A few people were chatting and laughing. Dabao even asked his uncle to carry him on his back for a few rounds. After Dabao, Erbao came on his uncle's back. Sanbao didn't want to fly either and insisted that his father carry him on his back as well. Shen Zhenjiang and Shen Zhensheng were very tired.

When it was almost time for dinner, Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng took the child home. "Son, don't you want to eat barbecue? Shall we have barbecue?"

All three children love eating barbecue, and even their steps on the way home reveal their happiness.
