The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 10

Chapter 10. She is really pregnant

She is busy making lard at the moment. She had washed the lard jar the day before yesterday, and the newly bought pot can also be used to store lard.

This time, Chen Rou took out a pound of food from the space. Knowing Han Guobin's character thoroughly, she felt a little fearless.

So a lot of lard and lard residue came out. The lard jar was filled to the neck, and the remaining bit was scooped into the pot by her, including the lard residue.

The oil and oil residue in the pot should be eaten first, and the lard in the lard jar should be prepared to be solidified, sealed and put in the cupboard for use next year.

She put a bunch of cabbage in the pot with oil, put corn tortillas on the edge of the pot, and after the cabbage was served, she poured some egg drop tomato soup, which was breakfast.

She didn't have to go to work today, so she stayed at home to prepare the food. Han Guobin had breakfast with his wife and then went out.

Chen Rou started chopping pig's feet to prepare stewed peanuts.

Save the pig ears for dinner.

Even though the weather is getting colder day by day, it's not the right time yet and the meat won't last long.

Except for lard, everything else should be eaten as soon as possible. However, there is a piece of tenderloin at home, which she pickled. It is very good for stewing beans or potatoes.

After stewing the pig's trotters and peanuts in the pot, Chen Rou washed her hands with soap and started making clothes for Han Guobin.

This is for inner wear. Zhou Zhen didn't go to work today. She also tore off a piece of cloth yesterday, but it was for herself, so she came home too.

While making clothes with Chen Rou, she also told her about what happened with Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou didn't say anything. She sewed clothes for Han Guobin very neatly and said, "It's so cold at this time. I estimate that this year may be much colder than last year."

"I think so too. Do you have your quilt ready? My house is fine, and it won't be too cold if we squeeze together when the time comes." Zhou Zhen said.

"I've prepared it, but there aren't enough clothes." Chen Rou said.

"Aren't you doing it?" Zhou Zhen said, looking at the cotton coat in her hand.

"Mine is fine. Guobin only has these two sets of underwear and a cotton coat." Chen Rou said.

"That's a lot of new clothes already, and it's still not enough?" Zhou Zhen said with bulging eyes.

"It doesn't keep you warm." Chen Rou said.

"Don't go out on a snowy day. Just light the kang when the time comes." Zhou Zhen didn't care much.

"It's just that we don't have much money at home, otherwise I would like to buy him two kilograms of wool to knit him a sweater." Chen Rou said.

Zhou Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said, "You are really willing to do this."

Wool yarn doesn’t need a ticket, but a sweater costs almost as much as a city dweller’s monthly salary. How much money is that? For country people, the remaining money in a year is only enough to buy a sweater.

It is simply a luxury among luxuries.

Chen Rou also knew that it was too expensive. She didn't want to buy it last time. Now there was only 25 yuan left at home. She had to save some just in case, right?

When Zhou Zhen saw her like this, she thought to herself, who said that the daughter of the Chen family doesn't love men? She's almost loving her man to death.

She doesn't have one herself, but she wants to buy it for her man.

In fact, it is not the case. There is a sweater in Chen Rou's space, and it has a high collar. It is not suitable to wear now, but she will definitely take it out and wear it later, and then put a coat on it. Who can tell?

As for her Guobin, he saw that it was okay and he didn't ask about it. Besides, he had never seen other women wearing clothes.

Because of this, she plans to take out the thermal underwear in her space and use it in winter.

If he sees it, he's not afraid at all. He has never seen another woman dressed like this except her, and he will never see her in his life. He might think that everyone dresses like this, so he's not afraid of being exposed.

As Zhou Zhen was talking, she smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen: pig's trotters stewed with peanuts, which smelled really good.

She stayed for a while and went back at ten o'clock. Chen Rou kneaded the dough and continued to make clothes.

While I was doing it, I suddenly remembered that my period seemed to have not come for a long time?

Chen Rou was stunned for a moment and began to think back. Her original body had come once before she came. Her original body was in good health and was pretty punctual every month. But it has been almost a month and a half since she came, but she still hasn't come.

Chen Rou thought that she should wait and see after a few days. If her period didn’t come in a few days, then she would be in trouble.

After the meat was distributed, the food at home naturally became very good.

The corn buns she had for lunch, served with pork trotters stewed with peanuts, were so delicious that Chen Rou ate a lot.

Chen Rou thought that she might really be pregnant. Although she was not sure yet, she still consciously replenished herself with nutrition.

For example, she stewed some soybean pig ears in the evening.

The pig ears were cut into strips and stewed until soft, and the soybeans were also very fragrant. After eating, they were handed over to Han Guobin to clean up.

She went back to making clothes.

Han Guobin had no objection at all. He washed the dishes and swept the floor at home. He discovered that after coming home from work, he would rush to do the housework. His wife would look at him with extra tenderness and be extra nice to him.

He doesn't think it's a job. If it can make his wife happy, why wouldn't he do it?

He knew that his wife was not idle at home. She had prepared the quilts, cotton coat and cotton pants for him this winter, all of which were very warm.

This made him feel very clearly the difference between having a wife and not having one.

After he finished and went into the house, Chen Rou compared the clothes in her hand to him and said, "It's just right, not too long or too short." She was originally worried that the shoulders were not enough, but after all, she had an accurate eye and they all fit well.

"Wife, is this also made for me?" Han Guobin asked.

"Well, I'll make you two pieces of inner wear." Chen Rou said without raising her head.

There's no need to describe how Han Guobin felt.

This had never happened before, but now that he has a wife, she does it for him.

The man sat down and watched his wife sew clothes for him stitch by stitch. Chen Rou raised her head after a while and said to him, "Boil some water for a bath?"

"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.

A small shed was built in the backyard where he could take a bath.

As time passed, the winter wheat was planted, and Han Guobin's winter vacation really began. It was the season of idle farming and hibernation.

At this time, Chen Rou was almost certain that she was pregnant.

Apart from consciously adding some nutrition to yourself, there is no other difference.

Han Guobin couldn't sit still, so he asked his wife to prepare some dry food for him that day.

As soon as Chen Rou heard it, she knew that he was going into the mountains. Nowadays, the management is not strict, and many people would go into the mountains to get some wild game to add to their family's dishes during the slack season. It was not like a few years ago, when going into the mountains to pull even a weed was not allowed.

"Please prepare more. I estimate it will take me two days to come back." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Two days?"

"Well, there are a lot of wild animals now, so I'll get some more." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou originally wanted to go with them, but now that she was pregnant, she would be a hindrance if she went, so she didn't say anything, but just said, "Be careful when you go, my mother and I are waiting for you at home."

Han Guobin didn't notice it at first. It took him a while to react. He stared at his wife blankly: "Mother and daughter?"

Chen Rou was busy making buns for him to take with her. There was no meat left, so she used some oil residue, eggs, and vegetables as stuffing. Without even raising her head, she said, "I'm pregnant, so it's naturally mother and daughter."

Han Guobin's breathing stagnated, and he turned his wife around to face him.

Chen Rou was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Wifey, are you really pregnant?" Han Guobin couldn't help but ask, looking at his wife's belly.

"Pregnant." Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him. She hadn't planned to get pregnant so soon, but she couldn't resist the coaxing of this thief on the kang.

Later she just let herself go and enjoyed herself, so it's not surprising that she's pregnant now.

Han Guobin hugged her in his arms. Chen Rou originally thought he was in the way, but she could clearly feel the joy in this man's chest and hummed, "Remember to come back safely, otherwise I will definitely remarry."

This was a very ruthless statement, but Han Guobin also said seriously: "Wife, I will be back in two days, you wait for me at home!"

Asking him to give such a good wife to another man is out of the question, not to mention that his wife is now pregnant with his child.

Chen Rou made ten buns for him to take with him, and the temperature in the mountains was very low, so she asked him to take his thick cotton coat with him as well.

The man in the family always has to support the family. Her man is not one who doesn't know what's going on, so she doesn't need to interfere too much, just support him.

Chen Rou lives a simple life at home. She just cooks some porridge or noodles for herself.

It was really cold today as we entered November, especially as it was almost mid-November. She used the quilt at home yesterday.

Last night, I couldn't help but miss Han Guobin. When he was around, he would hold her in his arms while she slept, and it was very warm. Although it was warm last night, I always felt like something was missing.

Getting used to this thing is scary.

But I should be back tomorrow.

That day she carried a basket and went to the town, and when she came back there was an extra piece of mutton in the basket.

The piece of mutton was cut into two and both were carried to my mother's house.

"Aunt-in-law is back." When Mrs. Chen saw her, she greeted her with a smile.

Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Sansao also came out, and their attitudes were pretty good. Chen Rou knew at a glance that this was the result of the piece of meat she brought to her parents' home last time. Her parents really didn't have any to eat themselves.

She was not surprised. She greeted her sisters-in-law and took out two pieces of mutton from the basket.

Chen's mother was stunned and asked, "Why are you bringing more meat? And mutton?"

"I found this in town today, so I cut off a piece. This is for you, my parents. You can give this piece to my uncle and let him stew the radish to warm his body."

One piece was given to her parents to nourish their bodies, and the other piece was given to her uncle to eat.

There was not much mutton. A family could get at most two taels of meat, which was belly meat. A family only had a small piece.

But it is also meat, and it is the rare mutton. Mutton stewed with radish must be delicious.
