The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 188 Let’s eat, whatever is available

When Aunt Song Yun came over, the two were cooking in the kitchen. Xiao Baoer came out when she saw Aunt Song Yun coming.

"Zhensheng's wife, I came to tell you about the situation over the past two days. The people you hired are all very good at their work and are very fast at their work. This time, the clothes are not difficult to make. Some people have already started working on the third piece in the past day and a half. Everyone is counting the money they earn this day, and they are very motivated to work."

Aunt Song Yun's face was also full of joy. Zhensheng's wife trusted her and entrusted these people to her, so there couldn't be any mistakes, otherwise she would feel bad.

"Okay, Auntie, everyone just get used to working, and don't cut off the hot water over there. You have to drink more water while working. Also, you have to pay attention to the quality of the clothes. If there is anything, just let Yuqing remember it."

"Okay, it's time. I'm going to go home too. I have to work early in the afternoon."

After Aunt Song Yun finished speaking, she hurried home. Xiao Baoer unified the working hours in the morning and afternoon, and also set up a full attendance award. If someone was fully present for a month and did a good job in making clothes, he would be given an additional 1 yuan reward in addition to his salary every month. This made everyone very excited.

Everyone's enthusiasm for work is still very high. No one has been late or left early in the past two days, but if there is an emergency, you can leave first.

As soon as Aunt Song Yun left, Xiao Baoer went back to the kitchen to cook. Shen Zhensheng was almost done with the sweet and sour spareribs. "Wife, I will go to the town with Lao Wu tomorrow morning to introduce him to Zhou Bao and his cousin. After all, we will need them to sell the goods in the future, so it would be reassuring to meet them."

"Okay, tell Zhou Bao to tell Lao Wu that he will send someone to bring flour, sugar, tea, honey, etc. to our house at the lowest price. Don't let Lao Wu get suspicious."

It is much faster for the two of them to cook together in the kitchen. In addition to the dishes they just mentioned, Dabao came over and said he wanted to eat lettuce, so Shen Zhensheng made another dish of lettuce with oyster sauce.

"Husband, don't you think your three sons are really a waste of food? If they didn't have two parents who can earn money, they would starve to death."

Xiao Baoer's sudden words made Shen Zhensheng laugh so hard that he started to talk nonsense again, "Isn't it because her mother is rich? She can not only support them, but also the father of the child."

The two of them were arguing in the kitchen, and the meal was quite lively. As soon as Shen Zhensheng finished eating, his three sons ran to the dining room. Dabao even took Sanbao with him to run together.

"Wife, drink more chicken soup. The book I read yesterday said you should drink more nutritious soup."

Shen Zhensheng served a bowl of soup to Xiao Baoer and asked her to drink as much as she could. Erbao also asked her father with the small bowl, "Dad, have you read the book? Does the book say what kind of soup Erbao should drink? Is it chicken soup? Or sweet soup?"

Dabao and Sanbao also looked at Shen Zhensheng expectantly. Shen Zhensheng was really grateful to Erbao in his heart. How should he answer this? I was so jealous.

Seeing Shen Zhensheng being embarrassed by his almost 5-year-old son, Xiao Baoer was very happy in her heart, but after laughing enough, she still came to his rescue, "Son, mom and dad make food suitable for you every day, not only chicken soup and sweet soup, but also pork rib soup, seafood soup, tofu soup, mushroom soup and so on."

Erbao really understood and kept nodding his head, but the next sentence made Shen Zhensheng want to give him a thumbs up.

"Then mom, I won't be picky. Let's ask dad to make all the soups and we can drink them all, okay?"

Xiao Baoer looked at his sudden enlightenment and really wanted to give him a thumbs up, "Your son has a really good understanding ability. I think he will be able to understand the teacher's words very well after he goes to school."

Shen Zhensheng fed him a few spoonfuls of soup and urged him, "Son, eat quickly. Just eat whatever you have."

After an afternoon nap, Xiao Baoer translated a book in the house, while Shen Zhensheng took his three sons to read picture books. Then he went out to find the team leader to calculate the money for yesterday's grain. Most families in the village wanted coarse grains, which were cheaper. Xiao Baoer did not put away the money he brought back, but asked Shen Zhensheng to pack it up.

"You can go to town with Lao Wu tomorrow and look around the black market, or see if Zhou Bao has anything rare. If there is, buy some."

Shen Zhensheng had never been able to spend any money, and he had no habit of carrying money in his pocket, so he felt a little uncomfortable putting the money in his pocket.

"Wife, I'm used to not having money in my pocket. I'm not used to having money in my pocket all of a sudden. I'll spend it if I have something to buy tomorrow. If I don't have any, I'll give it back to you."

Xiao Baoer even teased him, "Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you if they find out you have no money in your pocket?"

"I'm not afraid, and I'm at home all day and it doesn't cost me anything."

Well, this man saves her the trouble of looking for pocket money and having to take out even the 5 cents in her pocket. It's really worry-free.

The next day, before dawn, Shen's father and Shen's second son got up to heat up tea eggs and fried chestnuts. Shen Zhensheng got up a little earlier on purpose. When she got up, Xiao Baoer also woke up, so she accompanied him into the space to wash up and have breakfast.

It was too early and Xiao Baoer had no appetite, so she just ate some freshly stewed bird's nest. Shen Zhensheng ate some steamed buns and tea eggs and drank a glass of milk.

After he left, Xiao Baoer went back to her room and slept for a while. The child would not wake up so early, and she had nothing to do if she got up.

Shen Zhensheng took some buns to the old house and gave them to Shen Zhenjiang to eat. Shen's mother also took out some malted milk and made him a cup so that he could finish eating and drinking and go to town quickly to not delay anything.

Shen Zhenjiang and Shen Zhensheng walked to the town together, carrying chestnuts and tea eggs in a backpack. They took turns carrying the basket on the way. If the ground hadn't been too slippery, Shen Zhensheng would have let Shen Zhenjiang ride their family's bicycle.

Fortunately, there were fewer things this morning and they were not very heavy. If there were too much to carry in one go, they would have to be transported to the town. Shen Zhensheng thought of asking his father to go to Uncle Zhang's house to ask if he was willing to drive a ox cart to take Shen Zhenjiang to Zhensheng early and give him 5 cents each time.

On the way, I told Shen Zhenjiang about this idea, and he agreed. If there were a lot of things, he really couldn't carry so much, and 5 cents per time was not a lot anyway.

When they arrived in the town, Shen Zhensheng took Shen Zhenjiang to a small alley. The person guarding the entrance of the alley let him in when he saw him. Shen Zhensheng also introduced Shen Zhenjiang to him, saying that Shen Zhenjiang might come to find Zhou Bao for him often in the future, so he let him go in directly.

The person guarding the entrance to the alley immediately agreed. After the two of them went in, they found Zhou Bao directly. Zhou Bao and his cousin were waiting in the yard.

"Brother Sheng, this is our younger brother, my name is Zhou Bao, and I was your former comrade in the army. If you have any problems in the future, just come here and find me."

"Brother Zhou Bao, I'll trouble you from now on."

Shen Zhensheng took a look at the person in front of Zhou Bao and guessed that he might be the cousin Zhou Bao mentioned. He looked like a simple and honest person.

"Brother Sheng, Fifth Brother, this is my cousin Lin Tiezhu. From now on, you can ask him to help you sell the goods. You can come directly to this yard every morning, hand over the goods to him and leave. You can come back in the evening to collect the money."

Seeing that Zhou Bao was a straightforward person, Shen Zhenjiang thanked him directly, gave some tea eggs and sugar-roasted chestnuts to Zhou Bao for him to try, then put the rest on the table and told Lin Tiezhu the price he wanted to sell them for.

After a few people had discussed it, Shen Zhenjiang left the black market. He still had to go to work in the factory. Shen Zhensheng stayed with Zhou Bao and had not left yet.

"Brother Sheng, who in our family has this skill? The boiled eggs are really tasty and fragrant. And these chestnuts are much better than boiled ones. They taste soft, sticky and sweet."

Shen Zhensheng said proudly, "Of course it's your sister-in-law. The cakes you got were also taught by your sister-in-law. She knows a lot."
