The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 18

Chapter 18. Sisters-in-law

Although Chen Rou had a lot of opinions about Han's mother, she did not object to Han Guolin's marriage.

That afternoon, when Chen Rou was mending the pot, the old man came over with a load on his shoulder. He was brought here by Chen's mother from the next village.

The last time Chen's mother came to deliver a pheasant, she knew that her daughter wanted to mend the pot. Today, the pot-mender passed by the village, so she brought it here.

But it’s too late today, so I’ll just come here to get familiar with the road and come back tomorrow morning. Besides, there are still many people in the village who need pots mended.

Let’s catch up together tomorrow, and of course Chen Rou will be the first.

Because Han Guolin was getting married, Han Guobin stopped hunting and helped buy a lot of things.

Even the thermos that were in short supply at home, Han Guolin had two when he got married this time.

Mrs. Han looked at the new quilt, new table, new cabinet, enamel kettle, etc., and although she only took fifty yuan, she could not hide the turmoil in her heart.

Let’s not talk about her. Chen Rou also felt that the old couple of the Han family were really going too far.

"You are so biased. We have nothing. Now that Third Uncle is getting married, everything will be new!" said Mrs. Han gritting her teeth.

Chen Rou said: "Didn't the third brother's wife marry into a blessed family?"

Even though the supplies for the big and second rooms cost more than fifty yuan, the total amount is not even as much as a bicycle, let alone these things.

She didn't know when the thermos was bought. She went there twice, once with Zhou Zhen and others, and once with her husband Guobin, but she didn't buy it either time.

It can be seen how difficult it is to buy this thermos.

What we use at home now is just kettle, which can’t keep water warm.

But it's not just the two sisters-in-law. Anyone who has visited the newlyweds' new house would be extremely envious.

I'm afraid this is how the people in this city live!

On November 23rd of the Gregorian calendar, which is the end of October in the lunar calendar, Han Guolin got married.

Their third sister-in-law, Song Xiaoyu, was brought over with a new quilt.

Song Xiaoyu is good-looking and is the same age as Han Guolin. They are both 20 years old this year, which is the best age for them.

Moreover, because she was working in the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, she had a proper job, and her parents were also working class. She was very respectable. There was no other daughter-in-law in the village as respectable as her.

"These are my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law." Han Guolin was beaming with joy as he introduced her to my eldest sister-in-law Han and Chen Rou.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I am young and ignorant. If I do something wrong in the future, please forgive me." Song Xiaoyu said.

Mrs. Han and Chen Rou naturally exchanged a few polite words.

"What's so great about that quibbling? It's just a local resident!" After Han Dasao came out, she whispered to Chen Rou.

"They eat commercial grain and have decent jobs, making more than ten yuan a month, which is more than a hundred yuan a year. How many years can we save enough in a year?" Chen Rou said.

I can't help but admit it, this third brother's wife is indeed amazing, otherwise why would their father-in-law and mother-in-law praise her so much?

When grandchildren are born in the future, there will be another family from outside the family that eats commercial grain.

Mrs. Han was speechless for a moment.

Chen Rou said: "But we don't need to curry favor with her, since we don't rely on her for food."

Mrs. Han said, "That's right. Guowu and I have been given a lot of food this year. And don't think it's great that they eat commercial grain. They still have to tighten their belts to make ends meet. It's not uncommon for them to go without food!"

This is true, but even if it is true, the country people envy the villagers for eating commercial grain.

They are all proud to be able to eat commercial grain.

"Aunt is so nice. The candies she gave us are so sweet and delicious!" Mrs. Han's two sons Tiedan and Ludan ran over and said happily.

"Whoever gives you milk is your mother. You might as well just go and be your aunt's son." Mrs. Han scolded.

"Is it okay?" Her two sons' eyes lit up. They really didn't make Mrs. Han angry.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "You are still young. Why are you arguing with them? I am really angry. Eat more when you go back."

But she obviously underestimated her mother-in-law's shamelessness. She simply asked them to work and serve the dishes. How could the two sisters-in-law sit at the table?

Han Guobin came to Chen Rou and asked her to eat something before she got busy. How could Chen Rou eat less while helping in the kitchen? He stuffed the food into his mouth when Han's mother wasn't paying attention.

I didn’t eat much, but I didn’t let myself go hungry either.

Only after they finished their work did Han's mother stingily give her and Han's sister-in-law two bowls of leftovers.

Chen Rou didn't want it. They were all leftovers. Although there were still two small pieces of meat in it, she didn't want it: "Mom, you can keep it for yourself. I still have some at home. I don't want it."

Han's mother even hoped that she would not want it.

Mrs. Han came out with her and couldn't help but say, "Are you stupid? That's meat!"

"Just think of it as honoring your parents." Chen Rou said.

When I came back, I said the same thing to Han Guobin who had drunk a little today. Han Guobin didn't say anything, but said, "Wife, go and have a rest. I'll go make you some noodles."

"Let's eat together in the evening. I'm not very hungry now." Chen Rou said.

"I'll go into the mountains tomorrow," Han Guobin also said.

He hasn't been there for a few days because his brother is getting married. It's very cold today and it's probably going to snow soon. You can go into the mountains on snowy days, but it's not very convenient.

He wanted to try his luck again to see if there were any wild boars.

Chen Rou took the sweater and said, "Then I'll make you some egg pancakes tomorrow."

Han Guobin nodded.

Chen Rou took the sweater. There was only a little bit left, so she could finish it and put it on him today.

Han Guobin was lying on the kang, looking at his wife. Chen Rou looked up and saw him looking at her. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Wife, you are so beautiful." Han Guobin said contentedly.

"No matter how beautiful she is, she still has to be your wife and give birth to your children," said Chen Rou.

She does have a good-looking figure, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful girl in the village. Especially since she has been taking good care of herself since she came here, and although her diet has not improved much, it is much better than before.

I also raised a lot of them.

Han Guobin felt very comforted when he heard this.

After drinking some wine, he fell asleep while lying down, and when he woke up, it was almost five o'clock.

Chen Rou also made the sweater. They would have pumpkin grits porridge tonight. She gave him two cloves of pickles as a side dish and that was it.

She didn't even need any side dishes, she just drank it.

It has become much more convenient since the pot at home was repaired.

After the couple finished eating, Chen Rou started to boil water.

After the water was boiled, Chen Rou asked Han Guobin to come in and fetch some water. She wanted to go into the house to wash herself.

"Next time I'll go see if there's a big basin and buy you one for a bath," said Han Guobin.

There is only one basin at home, which is shared by everyone for washing face and feet. Usually, people wash their face first and then their feet.

Chen Rou came from the end of the world. What kind of environment has she not experienced? But she doesn't care so much. She will clean the basin every time she washes her feet, so it's just right to use it this way. Buy another one to use separately? Money is not spent that way.

The kang in the room was warm and not cold, so Chen Rou naturally washed it comfortably.

Han Guobin waited outside. After his wife finished washing, he went to pour water. Then he helped his wife wash the clothes and hung them under the eaves, and then he scooped a basin of water for himself to wash his feet.

The weather is very cold now, and Chen Rou has put on thermal underwear, which makes Han Guobin's eyes widen.

After washing my feet, I came over.

"Hmm?" Chen Rou looked at him in confusion.

"Wife." Han Guobin hugged her in his arms.

He just wanted to stay with his wife, but he was obviously very horny and couldn't stand the sight of his wife's thermal underwear.

Chen Rou clearly felt her man's enthusiasm.

Looking at him, Han Guobin's face was slightly hot and he said, "I won't touch you, just hug you."

"Why don't you touch me?" Chen Rou actually knew it in her heart and said it on purpose.

He hasn't touched her since she became pregnant, but the couple was lying together, how could she not know what his condition was?

She also knew that he must be worried. Although she had never heard of not being able to have sex during pregnancy, she still accepted his kindness.

"It's not convenient for you now." Han Guobin said.

How could he not want to touch his wife? He is not a saint, but his wife is pregnant now.

"I miss you." Chen Rou hugged his waist and said softly.

"Wife." Han Guobin missed his wife very much. He froze when he heard her voice.

"It's okay." Chen Rou smiled.

As for asking him to be gentler, don't worry, he has always been gentle.

Han Guobin confirmed that it was okay, so he was excited. Afterwards, the couple hugged each other sweetly and went to bed early.

The next morning, Chen Rou got up early and kneaded the dough to make egg pancakes for him to take out to eat.

But the breakfast was still mushy, so I ate it and then took some omelette with me before leaving.

Chen Rou had nothing to do at home alone. She used to knit sweaters, but now she doesn't need to. She also made clothes with the cloth she had torn before and put them in the closet to wear next year.

So Chen Rou thought about it and went to the backyard to harvest the radishes and cabbages.

Zhou Zhen came over and said while eating melon seeds, "It's so cold today. I think it's going to snow in a few days. Did your Guobin go into the mountains again?"

"Yeah." Chen Rou responded.

It was indeed very cold that day. She estimated that it was only about five or six degrees. But she was not afraid. She had thermal underwear, sweaters and jackets on, so she was not cold. The same was true for Han Guobin. He went out wearing a big cotton coat with a sweater underneath. He had a strong internal energy, so he was not too cold.

There weren't many radishes and cabbages in the private plot, and they were all harvested in a short time. They had to save them for the winter. Even though there were only the two of them, they had to eat them sparingly.

When Zhou Zhen was chatting with Chen Rou, she whispered, "Your sister-in-law is very powerful. I heard that your parents-in-law are completely submissive to her. She treats her better than your own parents."

"The girl from town that their precious old son married has a job, so they must be her biological parents, otherwise the girl from town would not be able to make a living and get divorced, and it would not be the girl who would be embarrassed." Chen Rou said.
