The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 209 The more you talk, the less human some people are

"Little sister, mother and your sisters-in-law made a lot of snacks today. Mother also made some for you. You can keep them for yourself."

Xiao Laoer gave the snacks that were kept separately to Xiao Baoer. Although Xiao Baoer did not lack these things, they were specially made for her by her mother after all, and were quite precious.

"Okay, brothers, go back and thank mom for me. Brother, come in and have some tea first. Zhensheng figured you should be here by now, so he cooked rock sugar and snow pear soup on the stove early and will serve it out soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhensheng came out of the house, holding a pot of rock sugar and snow pears, "Brother, you are here, it's just cooked, come and try it."

Shen Zhensheng served everyone a bowl of soup and asked them to drink it to warm themselves up. It was a very cold day and it must have been very hard to walk through such heavy snow.

When several people were drinking rock sugar and snow pear wine in the house, Xiao Laoer told Xiao Baoer about the affairs of Uncle Xiao's family and the incident of his two daughters being driven back.

"That's what they deserve. One of them was chased back for having an affair, and the other one snatched her cousin's marriage and insisted on marrying into that family. Now she is being tortured and beaten by the old woman. Isn't that what they deserve?"

Boss Xiao was very dissatisfied with many practices of Uncle Xiao's family. Although many of his uncle and aunt's practices were wrong, his daughters themselves had character problems.

"Dad, you didn't let Xiao Xiulan live with us, did you? You must not get involved with people like that in Uncle's family, or you'll never be able to get rid of them."

Xiao Baoer hoped that his father would not be soft-hearted and cause trouble for his family. Who were Xiao Xiulan and Xiao Xiuyun? They were pregnant before marriage, and Xiao Xiulan's husband did not break off the engagement with the second uncle's daughter.

Xiao Lao Da also understood what Xiao Baoer said, "Don't worry, little sister, Dad has told my uncle's family that they will never be allowed to enter our house. Mom even poured a basin of water on my uncle and his wife and Xiao Xiulan."

Xiao Baoer quite admired the original owner's mother's approach. She did things promptly and without over-intentions. Your family has let my family down and you always want to make fun of my family. Why should I repay evil with kindness?

The three brothers of the Xiao family were about to go back as it was getting late, but Xiao Baoer stopped them and said, "Brother, wait a minute, Zhensheng, go to the house and get it."

Shen Zhensheng gave the cotton clothes and shoes that Xiao Baoer had prepared for her mother's family to his three brothers and put them in a backpack.

"Brother, the two sets of cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes inside are for our parents. They are not available in town, so Zhensheng asked someone to buy them from the county. As for the other cotton-padded shoes, my brothers and sisters-in-law each have a pair, and my nephews and nieces also have one pair."

Boss Xiao was afraid that his younger sister would cause dissatisfaction to his brother-in-law by giving so many things to her parents' home every day. Besides, his younger sister also had parents-in-law, and it was inevitable that someone would gossip about her in-laws.

"Little sister, don't buy things for the family anymore. You and Zhensheng will have several children to raise in the future, so save the money you have," Boss Xiao advised Xiao Baoer.

"Brother, this is within our means, and this was bought specially for our family by Zhensheng. It is a token of Zhensheng's love. My parents-in-law and brother-in-law all have it."

After hearing what Xiao Baoer said, the three brothers of the Xiao family thanked Shen Zhensheng, "Brother-in-law, you are so thoughtful. Not only do you think about our parents all day long, but you also think about us brothers."

Shen Zhensheng was very grateful to his wife for speaking well of him in front of her family. He felt that he had married a good wife who took all aspects into consideration, even taking care of the relationship between him and her family.

"It's all right, brother. Take it back and have everyone in our family wear it tomorrow. It's obviously much colder today than yesterday. Don't catch a cold. If there's anything you need at home, just tell me and I can ask someone to buy it for you."

"I know. I'll tell everyone to put it on when I get back. We don't need anything at home, and our parents are fine."

Shen Zhensheng had just visited his mother's home a few days ago, and the meat and eggs he brought back should not have been eaten yet. This time, Xiao Baoer did not let her brothers take the meat and eggs away. She only brought a bucket of malted milk and about a pound of brown sugar to Xiao's father and mother, and asked her two pregnant sisters-in-law to cook some brown sugar eggs to nourish their bodies.

When the three brothers left, in addition to telling them to be careful on the road, Xiao Baoer also told them to convey one sentence to Dad, "Big brother, there is one thing you must tell Dad, each family has its own life, and our family is also a big family. As long as our family is well, our parents will live a better life than anyone else. You must remember to tell Dad, the more you talk to some people, the less human they are."

The three brothers remembered and left. Shen Zhensheng helped Xiao Baoer back to the house, "Wife, Dad and Mom are not stupid people, they won't do anything stupid."

Xiao Baoer knew in her heart that her parents were not the kind of people who were confused, but she still felt uneasy. She always thought that just to be on the safe side, she had to give them more instructions to feel at ease.

"Wife, Dabao just said that the three of them want to learn new classical poetry. You go and teach them. I'll go get some firewood from the yard over there. We don't have much firewood left here for heating the kang during the day."

"Okay, tell Aunt Song Yun to ask Yuqing to come home before she leaves this afternoon. I have something to tell them."

Xiao Baoer wanted to tell Aunt Song Yun that Aunt Shen was coming to their house to work together, including finding someone to learn embroidery and knitting sweaters. All of these required Aunt Song Yun's help. Aunt Shen's personality was a little soft, so Aunt Song Yun was just right to help her manage the people who were working.

Yuqing has been getting started very quickly recently. She is well-educated, speaks gently but with solid reasons, and the people working there like her very much.

Xiao Baoer felt that the fact that she fell in love with Jiang Yuqing at first sight was a destined fate.

"Okay, I'll tell my aunt that you just stay in the room with your son and don't walk around by yourself," Shen Zhensheng was afraid that she would go out of the main room by herself, and if something happened, it would be too late for him to regret it.

"I remember, I remember. You say it many times every day. I am very obedient. I remember it every time you say it."

Xiao Baoer suspected that if this man had a daughter in the future, she would be troubled by his nagging.

Xiao Baoer was teaching her sons ancient poems in the house. She also checked the ancient poems that the three children had learned before, and they had all memorized them very well.

Now, when you check Dabao and Erbao's ancient poems, if you don't check Sanbao, Sanbao will get a little angry and will stand in front of you and won't smile smugly until he has recited them.

Shen Zhensheng went to the old courtyard and looked for Aunt Song Yun first. "Aunt, my wife told you and Jiang Zhiqing to go see her after you finish your afternoon. She has something to tell you. I was worried about her, so I didn't let her out."

Aunt Song Yun readily agreed, "You were right not to let her out. The weather is cold and slippery, and she's getting older. Safety is the most important thing. I'll go after Yuqing and I are done."

After Shen Zhensheng finished talking to her, he went to the woodshed to move firewood. Fortunately, his wife was wise this year and bought a lot of firewood and coal, otherwise there might not be enough to burn in the two yards.
