The retired rough man dotes on his mother

In the afternoon, Xiao Baoer was playing with her three children at home. Someone knocked on the door. Xiao Baoer went to open the door, and Sanbao followed behind.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao, we are the educated youths in the educated youth camp. My name is Hua Yuanyuan and her name is Zhang Hui. Today I heard about your translation of the book and wanted to ask about your specific work to see if we can do it."

"Wait a moment, I'll go get the book."

When Xiao Baoer went to get the book, Hua Yuanyuan and Zhang Hui looked around the yard. It was very clean and the items were neatly arranged.

Looking inside the house again, there was a wooden table in the main room, on which were three enamel cups and a milk bottle, a few biscuits, and a fruit plate with apples, oranges, lychees, and washed cherries. Dabao and Erbao were peeling lychees and eating them.

Hua Yuanyuan and Zhang Hui swallowed their saliva at the same time, and Xiao Baoer walked out of the house. "Sorry, the kids are playing in the house, it's a bit messy, let's watch here."

Xiao Baoer handed each of them a stool.

The two of them looked at the book that Xiao Baoer took out. It was written entirely in English and they couldn't understand it at all.

"Comrade Xiao, can you understand all these things?"

"That's about right. The translation went relatively smoothly."

"It seems we can't do it because we don't speak English." Hua Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Baoer and wanted to say something but didn't open her mouth.

Xiao Baoer's words blocked the way. "Then there is no other way. If the two educated youth want to do this job in the future, you can come to me for the mailing address."

Hua Yuanyuan originally wanted to ask Xiao Baoer if she could teach them English, but it was obvious that Xiao Baoer didn't want to pay attention to them.

"Excuse me, Comrade Xiao," the two men put down their books and prepared to leave.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off since I have the child with me," Xiao Baoer closed the door.

When we returned to the house, the two children had finished eating the lychees and were eating cherries.

"Is it delicious? Do you prefer lychees or cherries?"

"Mom, I like lychees, they are so sweet. My brother said he likes cherries."

"It's okay. Everyone has their favorite food. Our eldest and second babies can eat whatever they like. After eating, go wash your hands and your little faces."

Xiao Baoer takes care of her three grown-up children while they eat, drink and study every day. Xiao Baoer also earns money by writing and translating, and lives a happy life.

Here, Shen Zhensheng had just returned from a drill. When he walked to the camp gate, he heard someone in the reception room calling him, "Captain Shen, someone has sent you a package."

Shen Zhensheng thought he had heard wrongly. How could someone send him a package? His mother and father only sent him letters occasionally, and as for his wife, that was even more impossible. She didn't even write letters.

When Shen Zhensheng entered the message room, he saw a large package. He looked at the name and it was Xiao Baoer!

This is the first time Xiao Baoer has sent a package to herself in all these years of marriage.

Many of Shen Zhensheng's soldiers saw him carrying the package back to the dormitory.

"Captain, what are you carrying? Is it food sent by your family? Anyone who sees it can have a share."

"Zhou, this is because you are immature. Captain, I am more sensible than him. I will carry it back for you."

The people who spoke were Shen Zhensheng's deputy battalion commander and his good brother Jiang Tao. Shen Zhensheng was already the battalion commander.

Jiang Tao snatched the package from Shen Zhensheng and ran away. Several soldiers chased after Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang. Jiang Tao ran to the dormitory and put the package on the ground.

"Old Shen, open it quickly, I can smell it."

Under the expectant eyes of several people, Shen Zhensheng opened the package. In fact, he was also curious about what Xiao Baoer sent.

Everyone was shocked. The battalion commander's wife was really generous. There were so many delicious foods.

Beef sauce, chili sauce, air-dried chicken, air-dried rabbit, jerky, nuts, bacon, sausage, clothes, shoes...

Before Shen Zhensheng could recover from his shock, several people started snatching things away.

Shen Zhensheng came to his senses and protected three bottles of beef sauce, two bottles of chili sauce, two air-dried chickens, a air-dried rabbit, and some dried meat.

In short, most of the food was snatched away. These guys were sensible and put the letter and his wife on Xiao Zhensheng's bed in advance.

Shen Zhensheng slowly opened the letter and read Xiao Baoer's letter word by word. The handwriting was very beautiful and it was very comfortable to read.

Comrade Shen Zhensheng

It’s a relief to write to you. This is the first time I’m sending you a letter or something. I’ve been thinking a lot during this period and suddenly I understood a lot of things.

All along, I resented that you couldn't stay home with me, and the three children also trapped me, so I reflected all my unhappiness on you and the three children. Now I suddenly understand that you are contributing your own strength to the country. Without the country, there is no home. I should understand you.

On the other hand, I have always been like a parasite that depends on you for life, and I can only survive by relying on you for support. I feel that I am very bad. I spend your money but still blame you. In the future, I will understand you and support your work. I just hope that you can be safe.

Shen Zhensheng, you must come back safely. You must remember that you still have a home, parents, a wife, and a son waiting for you. So every time you face danger, I hope you will put safety first. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, as long as we can live a good life.

I'm teaching my first and second children to write, and my third child can speak some simple words. I'll take them to the county to take photos these days, and I'll send them to you in the next letter. I've also sent you some beef sauce and chili sauce, meat, and nuts. Don't be reluctant to eat them, as they'll go bad easily in hot weather. The clothes are all washed and can be worn directly. The shoes are your size, so they should be comfortable to wear.

I bought the watch with the watch ticket you sent me before. Take a look and see if you like it. If you need anything, you can write to me and I will send it to you.

Finally, don’t send so much of your allowance in the future. Keep more for yourself so that you can treat your comrades to a meal during your rest time. It’s embarrassing for a grown man to be without money in his pocket. You don’t have to worry about us. I will raise my three children to be plump and healthy, and they won’t suffer any grievances at home.

That's all. If it's urgent, just send a telegram.

Xiao Baoer

Shen Zhensheng's eyes were red after reading the letter. He picked up the watch Xiao Baoer sent and put it on his wrist. He touched the watch and muttered, "I like it, I like it very much."

It is impossible to say that I am not touched. For the first time in so many years, I feel that the word "daughter-in-law" is warm. She understands and understands how difficult it is for me, cares about whether I will get hurt, knows my feelings, and cares about whether I am eating well and whether I am tired.

Looking at the clothes on the bed and the food on the table, the man who was over 1.80 meters tall finally couldn't hold back his tears.

After calming down for a while, I put all my clothes in the closet, placed my shoes neatly under the bed, and went to the cafeteria with a bottle of beef sauce.
