The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 384 Mom and Dad work hard to earn money

Time flies. It feels like it hasn't been long since I took the children to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. It's already summer. Shen Xiuxiu has already designed two clothes, and Xiao Baoer has given her a lot of design fees.

Moreover, Xiao Baoer also hinted to Shen Xiuxiu that she should not forget the knowledge she learned in high school, and should read more of her books when she has time. If she has the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, it will be a good opportunity for her to get more in-depth knowledge of her favorite major, fashion design.

Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang have traveled to many cities. Every time they arrive in a city, they will buy local specialties and bring them back. Shen Zhensheng will also develop his own business locally, but safety will still be the top priority.

A big change this year is that living conditions in the village have improved. As of July, two more families in the village have built brick houses. Although they are not as big as Shen Zhensheng's house, they are also grand enough, and they also built their own houses for their children.

Liu Ying and Shen Laoer also discussed with Shen's father and mother about building a brick house. Shen's mother had saved a lot of money and thought that after working hard all her life, she deserved to enjoy herself. So she reached an agreement with Shen's father and agreed to build a brick house with the second branch.

"Wife, my parents are building a brick house, and Lao Wu and I don't have time to help, so Lao Wu and I discussed that we should each give some money to my parents so that they can build a few good houses to avoid having to live in a weak house."

"Okay, just go get the money from the drawer. I always put money in there for you to use, but you never touched it."

Shen Zhensheng was not used to carrying money with him. Every time he went to work, Xiao Baoer would remind him several times to bring more money, but apart from bringing things for Xiao Baoer and the children and spending money on meals, he never spent the money on anything else.

After receiving my salary every month, I put the money in a drawer and take it out when I need it. There is no need to carry so much money.

"Wife, we will all leave the village in a few years. Our house will remain here, and we can come back to visit when we have time."

"Okay, this village is the children's roots, and we must let them know what home is like."

Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang each gave some money to Shen's father to build a brick house, but Shen's father refused very firmly and said directly that he had money and did not need his son's money.

"Your mother and I can both earn money. We have more than enough money to build a brick house. We don't need your money. We will ask for your money when we can no longer earn money."

They refused to accept the money given by Shen Zhensheng and Shen Laowu, so the two had no choice but to give up. Shen's father and mother did have a lot of money, and the money his father earned from making and selling soap was more than enough to spend.

Xiao Baoer's mother's family also built a brick house, which was paid for by her four brothers. Her brothers and sisters-in-law did not ask Xiao's father and mother to pay a penny. The sisters-in-law were also quite reasonable and never calculated the money in Xiao's father and mother's hands.

Xiao's father and mother don't have much money to spend in their daily lives. They only use some money to give red envelopes to their grandchildren during the Chinese New Year. Xiao's father has also learned to save money in a passbook. Seeing the money in the passbook increasing, he and his mother are happier than each other.

Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer had promised to take the children out to play during the summer vacation. Dabao and Erbao have been counting the days left at home these days, thinking about going out to play all day long.

"Mom, the teacher said today that the holiday will end in half a month. Should we set off?" Dabao asked his mother while eating dinner.

"Dad will be back tomorrow. Mom told him to take a day off at work and then take you out to play. Shall we go to Shanghai first and then to Yunnan Province? Or do you want to go to the beach?"

Dabao didn't know what he remembered. He frowned for a while and asked again, "Mom, does that cost a lot of money? Do we have any money left?"

After Xiao Baoer had laughed enough, she picked up a piece of tofu and put it in Dabao's bowl. "What if we don't have money? If we don't have money, Dabao, don't you want to go?"

After eating the fried tofu, Dabao seemed to have made up his mind, "If we don't have money, we won't go. Mom and Dad work hard to earn money. We are happier than other children just to be able to eat meat."

Xiao Baoer couldn't bear to tease them anymore, so she told them, "Son, although making money is hard, mom and dad are very smart. We have earned enough money to take you out to play. We are not short of money at home. After dad adjusts his shift, we will go out to play and we can go wherever we want."

"Okay, thank you, Mom. Then I want to go to Shanghai. Dad has been there, but we haven't yet."

The next night when Shen Zhensheng came back, Xiao Baoer told him about this. He also remembered that he had promised the child to go play.

"Wife, this is easy. I'll tell the team the day after tomorrow when I go to work. I've already told them that I'll use my vacation time to go out and play with the kids. It shouldn't be a big problem. We'll go out when I come back next time. I'll find someone to buy the tickets first."

"Okay, let's go to Shanghai first. Haven't you already renovated the house?"

"Yes, the decoration in Shanghai is very beautiful. I went to see the decoration effect last time I drove the car. It is better than the decoration in Beijing."

When Erbao heard that his father agreed to take them out to play, his little face was full of excitement and excitement.

"Dad, after we go to Shanghai, can we go anywhere else? Do you have enough vacation time?"

"That's enough. Dad has saved up half a year of vacation, just waiting to spend the summer vacation with you. Let's go to Shanghai first, and let you, your elder brother, and your younger brother decide where to go next."

The children had a happy dinner and ate more than before. They couldn’t wait to set off as soon as they woke up the next day.

During the past two days, Shen Zhensheng spent his time at home with his wife and children, apart from going to the town to trade supplies. He also took the children to visit their grandparents' home with Xiao Baoer.

The three sons excitedly told their grandfather and others that they were going out to play during the holiday. Their expression was unclear and Xiao's father and mother were also confused.

After Xiao Baoer's explanation, they realized that the children meant to go out and play during the summer vacation. However, they couldn't be away for the whole summer vacation. The letter of introduction would not be valid for that long, at most one month.

As soon as Shen Zhensheng returned to the town to work, he immediately talked about adjusting his leave so that he could use all the vacation time he had saved up.

Because he had given notice beforehand, the transport team was well prepared and could adjust the shift, so he would rest directly after finishing this trip.

During Shen Zhensheng's rest time, Shen Zhenjiang will help manage the garment factory. His main task is to contact those who come to the factory to pick up goods, and to collect the payments.

Shen Zhenjiang was familiar with these tasks, so there was naturally no big problem.
