The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 140 Don't force me to slap you on a happy day

When they were resting at night, the two of them specially put the snacks they made into the space and placed them together with the cotton shoes that they had prepared for their grandparents.

The next day, because grandparents were celebrating their birthday at their great uncle's wife's house, Shen's father and mother had to go to help after breakfast early in the morning. Shen Zhenjiang even took a special leave from work in town and stayed to celebrate his grandparents' birthday.

There is a custom in this village that the more people who come to celebrate the elderly's birthday, the better. It doesn't matter whether the food for the guests is good or not, the main thing is to have a reunion.

The family members went to my uncle's wife's house very early. The men helped to move the stools and lift the tables, while the women helped to cut and cook vegetables in the kitchen. There were many people coming, and many things needed to be prepared.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng came with Shen Xiuxiu and Shen Zhenjiang. The eldest and fourth Shen brothers had not arrived yet. The second and fifth Shen brothers came with Shen's father and mother to help in advance.

Shen Zhensheng carried snacks and prepared cotton shoes, Shen Zhenjiang held Sanbao in his arms, Xiao Baoer and Shen Xiuxiu were standing by with cakes for everyone to taste, which could also be said to be for entertaining guests. Dabao and Erbao were running in front and arrived at their uncle's house before the adults.

When they got home, Xiao Baoer and Shen Xiuxiu handed the cakes to Shen's mother and aunt. Shen's mother praised her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship and said, "Sister-in-law, these are the cakes made by the third son and his family. They are for entertaining guests. This will also make the banquet more respectable. Try one. It's delicious."

After the aunt put the food on the plate, there were still two pieces left. She took one and tasted it. "Oh my God, Zhensheng's family, everyone says that your cooking is delicious. I didn't expect that you also have the skill of making dim sum."

Shen's mother was very proud when she heard this. "Of course, my third son knows a lot. He can make money with his pen, cook, and even give birth to a child that is prettier than other children."

Although what Shen's mother said might sound a bit exaggerated to others, everyone in the kitchen agreed with it. Although the women in the village talked about Xiao Baoer behind her back all day long, it could be said that no one did not envy and hate her. Many people even admired her and could not understand how she could do everything.

Xiao Baoer was embarrassed by Shen's mother's praise, "Mom, you are exaggerating. This dessert is easy to make. It's not a great skill."

The aunt-in-law also likes Xiao Baoer very much. She is a capable girl who does things in an organized way and without being impatient. She often educates her daughter-in-law at home to get along more with Zhensheng's wife and learn how she does things.

"Your mother is not exaggerating, every word is true," the aunt also praised Xiao Baoer.

Xiao Baoer wanted to stay in the kitchen to help, but Liu Ying pulled her out, fearing that she would get hurt. She could only stay in the room with Shen Zhensheng to talk to her grandparents.

"Third grandson's wife, come and sit down and talk to grandpa and grandma," grandma was so happy when she saw Xiao Baoer.

A few days ago, I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that Zhensheng was pregnant again. My grandparents were so happy. Zhensheng is a blessed boy, and his wife is his greatest blessing.

"Grandpa and grandma, these are the cotton shoes that Baoer prepared for you. They are very thick and will keep your feet from being cold in winter," Shen Zhensheng showed the cotton shoes to his grandparents.

My grandparents liked them as soon as they saw them. Although my grandfather's boots were a pair of rather ordinary black cotton boots, they were thick and you could tell there was a lot of cotton inside.

Grandma's boots are better looking. Xiao Baoer specially picked out a pair of cotton boots with black soles. The uppers are made of black cloth embroidered with various flowers, and there is a pair of buttons on it.

Grandma couldn't let go of the cotton shoes and was very happy. "My third grandson's wife is so thoughtful. I haven't seen such floral fabrics in many years. This style is also very nice."

"Grandma, don't get so excited. We have prepared something else. Look what this is."

Grandpa and grandma looked at the box in Shen Zhensheng's hand. Shen Zhensheng opened the box mysteriously, and the exquisite snacks came into their eyes.

"Third brother, where did you buy these snacks? They must be very expensive. Aren't you just wasting money?" The grandmother felt sorry for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law spending money and couldn't help scolding her grandson.

"Grandma, don't be angry, listen to me. This is what your granddaughter-in-law, Xiuxiu, and I made for you and grandpa. Of course, it was mainly my wife who taught us. Xiuxiu and I don't know how to do this. Come and try it. Is it delicious?"

Shen Zhensheng put the snack box on the kang table of his grandparents and let them take whatever they wanted to eat. The first things they picked up were the flower rice cakes.

"Grandpa, grandma, is it delicious?" Xiao Baoer asked the two elderly people nervously, afraid that it would not suit their taste.

Grandma took a bite, and the sweet taste spread in her mouth, making her want to continue eating. "It's delicious, granddaughter-in-law, how come you have so much?"

"These are just some random thoughts I came up with before. As long as grandpa and grandma like them, it's fine. Grandma, try the others and eat more of the ones you like."

Grandma ate another piece of egg yolk pastry. Hmm, it tasted sweet and salty, and it was delicious. She hadn't eaten pastries in so many years, and the third grandson's wife made so much for her. Maybe she was addicted to it now.

Shen Zhensheng was afraid that his grandparents would choke, so he poured them some tea and placed it on the kang table. Seeing their grandparents enjoying the tea so much, the young couple were very happy. It seemed that he had made the right gift.

When everyone in the yard was busy in an orderly manner, an uncomfortable female voice was heard. Seeing that my grandparents were no longer smiling as before, but frowning, I knew it must be Aunt Shen who came.

In the original owner's memory, she had only seen Aunt Shen twice, once when she got married, and the other time when the first and second babies had their full-month banquets. However, the two of them had never spoken to each other because the original owner ignored anyone from the Shen family, and Aunt Shen looked down on anyone from her natal family.

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng also heard the voice coming from the yard, "Sister-in-law, don't spend all your family savings preparing these dishes. After all, you and your brother can't do anything except farming, and you don't have any skills."

The son and daughter-in-law behind Aunt Shen also looked at everyone in the yard with disdain, as if they were a group of superior people looking at the peasants.

Normally, my aunt-in-law wouldn't give in to Aunt Shen, but today was my grandparents' birthday party and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she just thought about enduring it.

"It's our business to spend all our family wealth. Don't worry about it, sister-in-law. After all, you don't have much wealth. You can't spend it even if you want to."

Aunt Shen's family relies on her husband's salary for support and they have no assets at all. Now that the matter has been exposed by her aunt, she feels a little embarrassed.

Aunt Shen put away the embarrassment on her face and said through gritted teeth, "We are not country folk. At least we don't have to work to earn work points in the city. Some people are jealous of my family, but they can't do anything to me."

Shen's mother had never gotten along with her sister-in-law. Whenever they disagreed, she would start to scold her, "Bah, it's just in the town, it's in the city, it's like no one has ever been to the town.

We are proud of working and earning work points. Haven't you heard that labor is the most glorious? I won't give you face if my sister-in-law gives you face. Parents' birthdays are a big deal. Don't force me to slap you on a happy day."
