Chapter 126 Whatever You Say
Chapter 126 Whatever You Say
As for Dad and my brothers’ wages, let’s wait until they come back in the morning to pay them. Although mom and sisters-in-law will still collect them then, it’s still better to pay them in person.
Shen Zhensheng was playing with a few children in the yard, while Xiao Baoer, her mother, and her sisters-in-law were talking about making clothes in the house. They had already made several pieces of the newly designed clothes.
Xiao Baoer just took a look and found that every piece of clothing was sewn very well and the workmanship was fine. It seemed that her mother and sisters-in-law were very serious about it.
Dad and my brothers are busy making furniture, mom and sisters-in-law are busy sewing clothes. Everyone in the family has something to do, and only when they are busy can they live a prosperous life.
In the morning, when the eldest and second sisters-in-law were cooking, my father and four brothers pulled the wood back. When they saw Dabao and Erbao in the yard, they knew that Baoer had arrived.
Hearing Xiao's father calling Dabao and Erbao, everyone in the room came out, "Dad, your daughter and son-in-law are here, and they are feeding Sanbao applesauce now."
Sanbao got hungry while playing, so Shen Zhensheng steamed an apple for him, and he is now eating it.
As he was speaking, Shen Zhensheng came out holding Sanbao and Xiao Baoer, "Dad, brother, you're back."
"Well, my girl, why are you here at this time? Is there something going on at home?" Father Xiao was a man who was not good at speaking, and he thought that Xiao Baoer had encountered some trouble.
"Dad, everything is fine at home. I came here today because I have good news to tell you." Xiao Baoer pulled his father, who had just washed his hands, into the house and sat him on a stool. The four brothers also came into the house after washing their hands.
"Little sister, what's going on? Why are you so secretive?" the fourth brother asked from behind.
Xiao's mother said happily, "Your younger sister came here today to give you some money. She just gave me the money your wife used to make clothes. I will share it with you in the evening."
"No, no, mom, why do you want my money? Isn't it your duty to help me a little?"
Xiao Baoer knew that his brothers would react like this, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you can't do this. The sisters-in-law have to be paid for their work. This is the money they earned with their own abilities, and I also have money to earn, so whoever deserves this money should take it."
Shen Zhensheng took out Xiao Baoer's bag from the house again. Xiao Baoer took out the money and gave it to his four brothers and father as wages. "Dad, brother, this is the wages for building the house. You have been busy for so many days, and you can't work in vain."
Father Xiao slammed the money on the table, obviously angry, "What is this for? Why should I pay my daughter and son-in-law for doing some work for them? She is not my daughter anymore, what's wrong with that?"
"Dad, you deserve this money. You have to take it. Let's put things in context and do what we say." Xiao Baoer stuffed the money into his father's hands again.
Xiao's father and brothers refused to accept it, so Xiao Baoer deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be angry, "Okay, take it all. If you do this again, I will be angry. Just think of it as pocket money I give you."
When Xiao's mother saw several people pushing and shoving each other, she spoke up, "Okay, take them all. Just help your sister more in the future."
After Xiao's mother spoke, the Xiao brothers had no choice but to put the money away. They did not give eggs to their older brothers separately. They just gave some to Xiao's mother when they came, since they all ate from the same pot anyway.
Xiao's mother said happily again, "Dad, our daughter is pregnant again, and you will have a grandson or granddaughter again."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's a good thing. Mom, ask the old lady to cook two more dishes. I want to drink a few more glasses with Zhensheng today." Father Xiao rarely smiled and was so happy that he wanted to drink.
The eldest and second sister-in-law cooked a lot of dishes. Xiao Baoer wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but as soon as she entered the kitchen, she was pulled out by the eldest sister-in-law, who was afraid that Xiao Baoer would get hurt. This brother-in-law dotes on his younger sister so much. If Xiao Baoer gets hurt in the kitchen, how can she explain to her brother-in-law?
During lunch in the morning, Xiao's father, his four brothers and Shen Zhensheng drank some wine. It was obvious that Xiao's father was in a very good mood today. The man who usually didn't smile much had a smile on his face throughout the meal.
But no one drank too much. Shen Zhensheng had to take care of the children and Xiao Baoer. Xiao's father and son had to make furniture for the younger sister in the afternoon. They had to make all the furniture as soon as possible so that the younger sister could move into the new house as soon as winter came.
Even when he was drinking, Shen Zhensheng never forgot to pick up food for Xiao Baoer. He also carefully paid attention to which dish she ate more, thinking of making it for her next time.
When picking up the dishes, he carefully picked out the ginger for her. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hey, Baoer doesn't eat ginger, so I picked it out for her."
Everyone at the table was laughing happily. Wow, they even had to pick out the ginger. Is this the treatment my little sister deserves?
After a pleasant meal, Xiao Baoer talked to her father about the furniture issue. Shen Zhensheng had already talked about other furniture, and Xiao Baoer mainly talked about the styles of cabinets and tables that should be in the study rooms of Dabao and Erbao.
After the chat, they found a ox cart in the village and went back. Xiao's father and his four sons hurried to make furniture for Xiao Baoer.
As soon as the three children got home, they lay down on the kang and fell asleep. Although Shen Zhensheng had drunk some wine, he was not drunk. After arriving home, he was afraid that his wife would not like the smell of alcohol on him, so he quickly went into the space to take a shower, changed his clothes, and then hugged his wife.
After the two of them stayed together for a while, they entered the mother and baby store in the space, ready to look at the things for newborns in the space, as well as bottles, milk powder, etc.
"Honey, the things in the space are still quite complete. We can just take them out in a few months. The children's clothes, small blankets, socks, hats, etc. need to be washed and dried before use. The disinfection cabinet also needs to be used."
"Okay, we'll just have to be fully prepared when the time comes," Shen Zhensheng hugged her waist from behind.
"Yes, but husband, we must be more careful in our daily lives. We can't ignore Dabao and the other three just because of the baby in my belly. We need to love these three children more."
"Of course. We two spend too little time with Dabao and the other three children. We need to spend more time with them as they grow up."
The couple has the same idea about their children. They did not have the company of their three sons since they were young, and they suffered a lot since childhood. Now that the family is well-off, they want to give them the best in all aspects, and of course companionship is essential.
Originally, Xiao Baoer was thinking about whether Shen Zhensheng should return to the army after his injuries were fully healed, but Shen Zhensheng himself said that he would not return and just wanted to accompany Xiao Baoer and the children. He had treated his family too badly in the past and now wanted to make it up to them.
Moreover, after this New Year, Shen Zhensheng plans to work in the transport team. He has already secured a job. He joined the army in order to find a way to make a living for his family. Now that he has Xiao Baoer and the children by his side, he is quite content.
