Chapter 204 Family is always the most important
The next morning, Xiao Baoer had not woken up yet. Shen Zhensheng opened his eyes, kissed her little mouth, and then got out of bed to wash up.
After washing up, I prepared all the breakfast for this morning, including bird's nest and nuts for Xiao Baoer, as well as her favorite zucchini omelet, and a small bowl of red bean, milk and black rice porridge, which she especially liked.
I prepared fried dumplings, cheese beef omelettes, meat rolls, corn and shrimp steamed buns, etc. for myself and my children, as well as the same red bean, milk and black rice porridge as my mother.
Recently, the three children's appetites have become larger than before, so Shen Zhensheng prepares more varieties of food every time, but they are all the children's favorites.
It’s cold now and the children don’t like to move. They don’t eat much snack in the morning. However, every time I prepare fruit for Xiao Baoer, I will prepare some more. When the three children see their mother eating, they will want to eat some.
After everything was ready, I left a note for Xiao Baoer: I'm going to sweep the snow in the yard, call me when you wake up.
Then Shen Zhensheng left the space and went to sweep the snow in the yard. This snow was heavier than the last time. He wondered how cold those people in the village who didn't have thick quilts and thick cotton clothes would be if it continued to snow.
Shen Laowu and I had already swept the ground yesterday, and the snow was still very thick this morning. We first swept the snow off the beams, and then the yard. Because Xiao Baoer would occasionally walk around in the yard, Shen Zhensheng swept every place very cleanly, not daring to make any mistakes.
After sweeping, heavy snow was still falling from the sky. Shen Zhensheng cleaned up and went into the space to see if his wife and children were awake.
I went to the three children's room first. The eldest and second child were already awake, but the third child was still sleeping with his butt sticking out like a pig. I asked the two children to come out quietly and then went to wash up.
He went to his and Xiao Baoer's bedroom on the second floor. Xiao Baoer had just come out of the bathroom and was probably done washing up.
"Wife, are you done washing? Why didn't you ask me to brush your teeth and wash your face? I just went to sweep the snow in the yard. It was snowing heavily," Shen Zhensheng took the maternity skin care products in her hand and applied them on her face.
"I can brush my teeth and wash my face by myself. Where's my son? Is he awake?"
"The first and second babies are awake, and the third baby is sleeping soundly with his little butt sticking up. I didn't let them wake him up. I just let him sleep and feed him something when he wakes up."
The two of them went downstairs to have breakfast together. Dabao and Erbao were already sitting in the restaurant, waiting for their parents to come down for breakfast.
"Wife, I stewed bird's nest with milk, red dates and other ingredients for you today. Would you like to try it and see if you like it?" Shen Zhensheng handed Xiao Baoer the bird's nest.
"Yeah, the one my husband stews is the best." Xiao Baoer didn't know if it was because of her mood or something else, but now she only liked to eat the bird's nest stewed by Shen Zhensheng, and she didn't even like the one she stewed herself.
The two children ate cheese beef omelette and praised their father, "My dad is the best cook, tied with mom for first place."
Dabao corrected his brother, "No, no, Mom comes first, Dad comes second. Dad said that Mom should always be put first."
Shen Zhensheng gave Dabao a thumbs up and said, "My son is right. Mommy always comes first."
Xiao Baoer looked at the father and his two sons. Each one was sweeter than the other. One looked like him, one looked like himself, and the remaining Sanbao looked exactly like his father and was like him in every way.
"You three are really big and small sweet beans. Your little mouths are as sweet as honey."
After the four of them finished breakfast, Dabao and Erbao went upstairs to see their younger brother. When their younger brother didn't wake up, they went to the toy room. Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng looked at the fabrics in the space and took out the same fabrics as the current batch of clothes, but with three more colors. They planned to make the same style in different colors, so that people would have more choices when buying clothes.
After selecting and taking the correct quantity, Xiao Baoer asked Shen Zhensheng to put them aside, and then took them out and put them in the fabric house in the old yard while the workers had not arrived yet.
After he put it away, he went back into the space. His wife was picking out cotton-padded clothes and shoes. "Wife, why are you picking these?"
"Nothing. My second and third brothers came to bring some cakes this afternoon, so I asked them to take them to my parents. The weather is getting colder, so it's easier to get sick if you dress warmly. Then I gave my brother and sister-in-law a pair of cotton shoes each. I also prepared cotton coats and shoes for my eldest grandparents, as well as some for my aunt.
There are also some for Laowu and Xiuxiu. I thought that my second brother contributed a lot to our house building, and he and his second sister-in-law are very nice people, so I will give him and his second sister-in-law a pair of cotton shoes each, and each of the four children a pair. When the time comes, you can say that you asked someone to buy them in the county. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be. It is specially prepared for the family."
Shen Zhensheng put aside some of the things his wife had chosen, "Wife, you are so thoughtful. People used to freeze to death in winter, and this year is unusually cold. It is more important than anything else that both of our families live in peace."
"Well, and look at these mountains of cotton-padded clothes and shoes. If we have so much stuff and still let our parents and family members get frozen, then we are crazy. It will be too late to regret it then. Human life is always important. And we also let our children know from a young age that family is always the most important."
However, Xiao Baoer is not a kind person and will not help the poor without reason. She will only be good to those kind people and those who are good to her family. The people on her mother's side are all good and will not cause trouble. Her sisters-in-law are also of the same mind as her parents, and her brothers are all filial to their parents. This is good enough.
The two families on my husband's side who were always making trouble have been driven out. Although the fourth family still lives in that yard, they will move out after the child is born. Xiao Baoer doesn't care whether they move out or not. As long as they don't jump around Xiao Baoer, she and them will not offend each other. However, it is impossible for Xiao Baoer to be nice to them.
Xiao Baoer was quite satisfied that Shen's mother and father could cut off their relationship with her. Besides, they were busy working to make money every day, so they probably wouldn't bother themselves with the affairs of the two families that had been cut off. In that case, Xiao Baoer didn't mind being nice to Shen Zhensheng's parents, as she didn't lack these things.
And apart from those two rooms, she was satisfied with the other brothers and sisters of the Shen family. The fifth brother and Xiuxiu were both raised by Shen Zhensheng. From the beginning, they were loyal to the third room and were not raised like the first and fourth rooms. Moreover, they both respected Xiao Baoer.
The people in the second house are all down-to-earth and hard-working. Shen Laoer doesn't talk much, but he works hard. Liu Ying is smart and capable. She only wants the money she earns through hard work and never takes a penny from others. She is filial to her parents and has educated her four children very well.
The four children from the second wife would occasionally come to play with Dabao and his three brothers. Damei became more sensible after going to school, and the three younger ones were also very polite and never said they were thinking about Dabao and his friends' things. They were also very protective of their younger brothers. In the past, when Dabao and his friends were bullied by the children in the village, it was Damei and her four siblings who protected Dabao and his three younger brothers.
Xiao Baoer felt that since she had such a space and endless supplies, it would be okay to give some warmth to her family.
