The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 228 A simple life is happiness

"Then mom will play the violin for you tomorrow. After mom has demonstrated all the instruments she knows, we'll start learning whichever one you like best."

The eldest and second child are particularly happy. Both children admire their mother very much and are proud that their mother can do everything. They want to be like her.

"Wife, you seemed to be glowing just now. I think you should be the most eye-catching one in the crowd. It's unfair for you to live with me in the countryside," Shen Zhensheng said with a hint of guilt on his face.

Xiao Baoer smiled nonchalantly, her tone full of satisfaction, "What nonsense are you talking about? I now have you and my son, as well as the baby in my belly. I am much happier than when I was living alone before. Happiness lies in a simple and ordinary life."

All three sons touched the piano, and Xiao Baoer even took their little hands and tried to play a few notes. The children went downstairs only after they had had enough fun.

"Wife, go back to your room and have a rest first. I'll send our son over and play cartoons for them and then come back to accompany you," Shen Zhensheng kissed her forehead and saw that she looked a little tired.

Xiao Baoer went back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, mainly because she felt a little sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while.

When Shen Zhensheng returned to the room, Xiao Baoer had already fallen asleep. He went to the bathroom to wash the clothes that his wife had just changed out of before covering her with a quilt and leaving.

Shen Zhensheng left the space and went to the old house. He hadn't asked Lao Wu about the situation since he taught him how to stew meat last time. It was a good opportunity to go and see how their business was doing recently.

"Brother, why are you here at this time? Where are sister-in-law and the children?" Shen Xiuxiu, Shen's mother, and Liu Ying were all busy preparing snacks in the yard, happily.

"Your third sister-in-law came back from the county and fell asleep because she was tired. The three children are playing at home. I am worried about Lao Wu and his business, so I came to ask about the situation. Where is Lao Wu?"

Shen's mother called out, and Shen Zhenjiang ran back from the second son's kitchen, "Mom, you called me? What's the matter?"

"It's not Mom who's looking for you. I came to see how your business is going. Is the person Zhou Bao is looking for suitable?"

Shen Zhenjiang has earned more than his salary these past two days, and he is busy making money. "Okay, the people Zhou Bao finds are very reliable. These days, not only chestnuts and tea eggs are selling well, but Jin said that stewed pork is also selling well. Coincidentally, the chef of our factory tasted our stewed pork once, and he told Jin that he needs 40 kilograms of stewed pork to be delivered to the back door of the factory every day."

Shen Zhensheng was also happy for Shen Laowu after hearing this. "That's great. We can sell so many kilograms at once, so we don't have to sell them one kilogram at a time. Tell Brother Jin to give the chef a one- or two-kilogram portion when he delivers the goods, as a way to thank him for his help."

"I know Third Brother. Third Sister-in-law has taught me all these things. I remember them all. I even gave a few boxes of cigarettes to the man at the slaughterhouse in town and asked him to save the offal for me every time. He was so happy to receive the cigarettes that he saved them for me every time and asked for a low price."

Shen's mother also said, "Old Five has been much more stable recently, you don't have to worry about him. How was your visit to the county today? Are the children and your wife all right?"

Shen Zhensheng nodded and told Shen's mother about the results of the examination. Shen's mother was very happy as long as both the child and the adults were fine.

"That's all. Just take good care of your wife. The New Year is coming soon. Since your wife came into the family, this is the first year you spend with her and her children. It is a blessing to be together as a family."

Now Shen's father and mother are making cakes, boiling tea eggs, and frying chestnuts in the yard. Shen's second son's family is cooking stewed meat. The family is busy every day.

Shen Zhensheng also asked Zhou Bao to pay attention to the situation in the town and send someone to inform him if there was any movement of the little red man.

In fact, the Shen family's things are still very safe, because things like tea eggs and braised pork are cooked at night and heated up in the morning, and chestnuts are fried in the morning, which is when others are sleeping. Moreover, there are few families living near the Shen family, and they are the families like Aunt Zhang and Aunt Lianhua who have a good relationship with Shen's mother.

In fact, it is not only the Shen family in the village who do some small business secretly. Most families will make something to sell, but they have no way to do it, so they can only do small business.

In times like this where people can barely get enough food to eat, anyone who does something to destroy someone else's source of income will be criticized by the villagers.

Shen Zhensheng stayed in the old house for a while and helped Shen Laowu calculate how many kilograms of tea eggs and braised pork should be prepared. He also asked Shen Laowu to tell Jin Ge and Tiezhu to hang around the factory gate more often. Now that the New Year is approaching, even those who are reluctant to spend money will buy some for the children and the elderly at home to try.

After Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang finished their chat, they were about to go home. Shen's mother asked him to take some pastries for Xiao Baoer, but he refused.

"Mom, it's time for dinner soon, so I won't let my wife eat the cakes. I'll sell them today. Anyway, we make cakes every day. If my wife wants to eat them tomorrow, I'll come and get them."

Seeing that he was determined not to take it, Shen's mother put it back in the kitchen. Shen Zhensheng hurried home. He didn't have to worry about the child watching children's movies, but he didn't know whether his wife had woken up.

Shen Zhensheng locked the door as soon as he got home, and then entered the space. The three children had stopped watching the movie and were riding their bikes in the yard outside. They had just learned to ride bikes, so the novelty had not yet worn off and they wanted to ride whenever they had free time.

Shen Zhensheng ignored them and went upstairs to the bedroom to see if his wife had woken up.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xiao Baoer sitting on the bed in a daze. Shen Zhensheng went over to rub her hair and kissed her forehead. "You are awake, wife, why don't you drink water?"

Xiao Baoer took the water cup from his hand and drank some water, then slowly woke up completely. "I'm awake now. I just had a dream. I dreamed of two little angels in skirts calling me mom."

Shen Zhensheng hugged her, "Really? That means our child must be a little angel. He is greeting you in advance. He may be eager to chat with his mother."

Xiao Baoer was very happy to be coaxed by him. She had read in a book that some people would become very emotional and easily break down due to hormonal changes after they become pregnant.

But because I have a good lover by my side, he will notice my emotional changes in time and make me feel at ease and happy in time. I have been in a really good mood during these few months of pregnancy.

A good lover can really withstand many disappointments in life. He will provide you with good emotional value. He alone can be as powerful as thousands of troops.

The three sons are also very obedient. They make sweet confessions to their mother every morning, telling her that she is the most beautiful, the best, the cutest, and that they love her the most.

Moreover, since she became pregnant, the three children seemed to know that their mother would be very tired, so they did everything they could do by themselves. Even the youngest, who was two years old, would only pester his father a little, and even wanted to take care of his mother when he was with her.

Xiao Baoer lay in his arms and talked to him for a while, then put on her slippers and went downstairs with him to prepare dinner.
