The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 166: Eat salty radishes and worry less every day

When several old ladies saw Luo Jinhua coming, they no longer had the arrogance they had just used to bully others due to their seniority and wanted to slip away back home.

"Second brother, what's going on? What are you arguing about?"

Shen's mother asked Liu Ying anxiously. She knew Liu Ying. The second son's family was not the kind of person who would cause trouble outside, but these old women might not be the same.

Then Liu Ying told Shen's mother the whole story before these old women could open their mouths, and Shen's mother's face changed when she heard it.

Looking at the gossiping old ladies who were about to sneak away, Shen's mother became furious. She grabbed the hair of Wang Pandi, who had just spoken the most cheerfully, and old lady Luo with her hands.

"Why are you two running? You must be guilty as a thief," Shen's mother looked at the two of them viciously.

"Let go, Luo Jinhua, we mean well. Your daughter-in-law sent so many things to her parents' home. Aren't you afraid that she will take away all your son's wealth?"

"Yes, we can't stand it and we feel sorry for you. Once you get married, you belong to your husband's family. If my daughter-in-law dares to move my son's things like this, I will slap her to death."

Shen's mother pulled their hair even harder, cursing at them and spitting everywhere.

"Fuck your grandma's legs, you can't even clean up your own ass, and you still dare to meddle in my family's affairs. You are going to die if you don't gossip about me all day long. You even slapped my daughter-in-law. If I didn't hit you, you wouldn't even know my name is Luo Jinhua.

It is not common for a daughter to be filial to someone else's parents after she gets married. So don't ask her for anything after she gets married. I know my daughter-in-law very well, so please don't try to show off in front of me.

You have educated your daughter-in-law well, but why did she have an affair with that old man Li Changhe and give birth to a child? If I were you, I would have killed myself. You have raised someone else's bastard for so many years, and your own son's green hat is shining, yet you still have the nerve to talk nonsense.

Your daughter-in-law taught you well. What did your daughter-in-law give you? My daughter-in-law gave you cloth, wool, and even several kilograms of cotton. I am keeping warm this winter, but you may freeze to death at home and no one will care about you.

Everyone in this village knows that my daughter Xiuxiu can go to school because of my third eldest sister's family. She also arranged my eldest son's job. I, an old woman, don't say anything no matter how much she gives to her parents' home. Who do you think you are to talk nonsense here?

You don't know what kind of person you are. You just talk nonsense all day long. You might as well put your mouth on your butt. You just worry about nothing all day long."

Several old ladies were scolded so badly by Luo Jinhua that they couldn't even raise their heads. Wang Pan felt so embarrassed that he ran away quickly. If they didn't run away, Luo Jinhua might attack them again, which would be bad, and he would not be in the right.

It took Shen Zhensheng a long time to reach Xiao Baoer's parents' home. Everyone in the small alley where the Xiao family lived was sweeping the snow at the doorstep, otherwise once the snow froze and then melted, the alley would be impassable and no one in the alley would be able to go out.

The men of the Xiao family were sweeping snow at the door like everyone else. The eldest brother's waist ached from bending over to sweep the snow. He just straightened up to take a rest when he saw Shen Zhensheng coming over with a backpack on his back.

He quickly called out to Xiao's father who was busy sweeping the snow, "Dad, look, is that my brother-in-law?"

Several people looked up. Who else could this be but Shen Zhensheng? Several brothers quickly ran over to take over his backpack. It was tiring enough to walk through such thick snow, and it must be even more tiring to carry a backpack.

"Zhensheng, why are you here at this time? What's the matter with my little sister?" Xiao Laoda asked with concern, and Xiao Laoer took his backpack.

"Brother, Bao'er is fine. Once the road is frozen, we won't be able to travel for a few days. As soon as the snow stopped, I went to town and bought some vegetables. Now that I'm done with my work at home, I'll come over to give some vegetables and cotton to Dad and Mom. It won't hurt to have some extra."

Several people walked to the door together. Everyone in the alley was envious. This son-in-law was really hard to find. "Zhenguo, your son-in-law is really good. He always thinks about you two old people."

Father Xiao was so proud when he heard people praising his son-in-law, "Of course, my son-in-law is closer to me than my own son. He treats my daughter very well."

"Your daughter is lucky, it's a good choice to find a son-in-law for you. It's hard to find someone with such good looks and filial piety."

The alley was filled with voices of envy for Xiao's father. Xiao's mother came out of the house when she heard the voices. When she saw Shen Zhensheng and the backpack on the second son, she knew that her son-in-law was here to deliver something again.

"Zhensheng, why are you sending gifts again? Keep them for you to eat. It's not easy to get something to eat in this heavy snow," Xiao's mother said to Shen Zhensheng. Although she was blaming him for sending gifts, it sounded like she was showing off.

"Mom, as soon as the snow stopped I went to town and bought a lot of food. We have some food stored at home. Baoer is worried about you and Dad, but it's not safe for her to travel while she's pregnant, so I came to your house to see you and Dad, and bring you some food."

Xiao's mother was so touched. Her daughter was filial, but her son-in-law was even more filial. "Come in, come in and drink some water. It's too cold."

Several people returned home, and Shen Zhensheng took out the things in the backpack. When the Xiao family saw that Shen Zhensheng took out so much bacon, sausages, vegetables, fruits, etc., they all thought that he must have spent a lot of money.

"You kid, you took too much. How much money will it cost? Don't take things from now on."

When Xiao's father saw Shen Zhensheng taking out so many things from the backpack, he felt sorry for his daughter and son-in-law spending so much money, and told them not to buy things when they came to their house in the future.

"It's not much money, Dad. This is malted milk. It's for you and Mom to nourish your body. Don't save food. Eat what you need. Mom, you've already made a cotton-padded jacket and quilt with the cotton you brought before. You can keep this cotton. It's always good to have some on hand. The weather is getting colder."

After Shen Zhensheng left all his things behind, he was about to leave. Xiao's father and mother didn't try to stop him because they knew he was worried about his family.

"Okay, go back and tell Baoer not to worry about us, we are fine, her brother and sister-in-law are fine too, take your time on the way back."

"Oh, I know, mother."

It was almost dark when Shen Zhensheng got home. Xiao Baoer prepared dinner based on the time he would return, and he smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the house.

"Wife, what delicious food have you prepared? I'm starving," Shen Zhensheng's stomach growled as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the food.

"Scorched meatballs, mushrooms and lettuce, stir-fried meat with green pepper and black fungus, coconut-flavored pumpkin chicken, and beef soup. Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

During the meal, Shen Zhensheng also told Xiao Baoer about the situation at his mother's home. "Dad and Mom are all fine. Dad and my brothers are sweeping the snow, and Mom and her family are making clothes in the house. I gave Mom the things and hurried back."

Xiao Baoer handed him the freshly prepared beef soup and said, "That's good. Come and eat. The three kids have been asking why you haven't come back yet. They are all hungry."

The three children were eating happily. Erbao even ate a few of the fried meatballs and said, "Mom, these meatballs are so delicious."

"Yes, yes, Mom, the chicken in this pumpkin is also delicious," Dabao also praised it for being delicious.

Xiao Baoer smiled and said to the two children, "If it tastes good, eat more. Mom said you should eat some green vegetables, remember?"

The two children took the initiative to pick up the vegetables and eat them. Anyway, the vegetables made by their mother were also very delicious. Xiao Baoer saw this and praised them, "My sons are so good."

"Mom, can I eat the crispy rice we made last time tomorrow?" Erbao asked his mother.

Xiao Baoer was confused by the question, what is Susu rice? She looked at Shen Zhensheng, who also looked confused.

"What is crispy rice? What's in it?"

Seeing that his parents didn't know what his younger brother was talking about, Dabao added, "Mom, Erbao said that there are crispy things in the rice, and there is meat inside."

The two of them then realized that this was referring to the rice crust rice. Xiao Baoer had made it for them once before, and the whole family loved it.

"Okay, mom will make rice crust tomorrow morning, but we won't be eating bacon this time. How about eating something else?"

The three children were so happy that they ate a lot for dinner today. Shen Zhensheng kept walking today and consumed a lot of energy, so he ate a lot for dinner as well.
