The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 22 (Part 4)

Chapter 22 (Part 4)

If she doesn't earn work points, there will be no food for the head of the family. How much less food will she get? Her child will be born next year, so she will definitely go and earn some.

Seeing her say that, Han Guobin said, "Then don't tire yourself out."

"I know." Chen Rou smiled.

The couple had dinner, washed the pots and dishes, and then boiled some water to wash their feet.

Han Guobin washes his feet every day and is very clean, which is unmatched by other men in the village.

"Wife." After washing his feet and blowing out the lights, Han Guobin hugged his wife in his arms. His sweet and soft wife really made his little home warm.

Last winter he still spent the winter alone at his master's house. The winter was quite hard to endure. His quilt was very old, dry and hard. Besides, he slept alone and was often woken up by the cold.

But he got married this year, and his wife replaced all his winter clothes with new ones, including this quilt, which is truly the warmest quilt he has ever slept in his life.

Chen Rou also leaned contentedly in his arms. She felt that now that she was pregnant, she would definitely not travel through time and space again.

Then this man will be her future partner.

And currently, she is very satisfied with her partner.

In the blink of an eye, we have entered the twelfth lunar month. It is not an exaggeration to describe the cold winter month as being covered in silver.

When you open the door, all you see is a sea of ​​white.

Chen Rou didn't go out at all because it was too cold outside.

Chen Rou had to check again and again before Han Guobin went out. She had her own socks in her space, a whole dozen, the kind that cost ten yuan for five pairs. When she was collecting supplies, she saw them on a street stall and sold them for twenty yuan.

She had taken them out a long time ago and put them on herself, but she didn't have a pair for men.

Han Guobin's socks were all made by her using other scraps of cloth. They were very simple, so Chen Rou usually didn't let him go out.

There was a lot of snow outside and without rubber shoes, it was easy to get wet.

Today Han Guobin wanted to go up the mountain to check on the traps he had set. Chen Rou let him out because it wasn't snowing, but she made sure he wasn't too cold before letting him out.

At noon, Han Guobin came back with two frozen pheasants, and Brother Chen San came back with two fish.

This is what his brothers caught this morning when they dug a hole in the river after the snow stopped. With such a large family, they couldn't stand eating just one cabbage and radish every day, so they went fishing.

The gain is not much, but at least it can improve the food.

Han Guobin came back and saw Chen Rou, so he said, "Brother San, take the two pheasants back."

"That's impossible. If I dare to bring two pheasants back, my parents will break my legs." Brother Chen San said.

Last time it was Brother Chen who delivered the fish, and today he is here.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the pheasant. The pheasant was not big, but it was meat.

I've eaten so much radish and cabbage at home that my mouth is dry.

Chen Rou said, "If you take two, you will be scolded. So take one back. Tell your parents that I have another one, and they won't scold you."

"How embarrassing!" Brother Chen San had some thoughts, but after looking at his sister's belly, he shook his head and said, "You keep it for yourself."

"Take it back. I like eating fish. Give me two more next time you have fish." Chen Rou didn't say anything more and handed it to him.

Brother Chen was very happy and promised her: "I will definitely send it to you and your brother-in-law next time."

Although Brother Chen San only asked for one, he was still scolded by his mother when he returned home.

"I asked you to deliver two fish, but you brought back a pheasant. Don't you know that your sister is pregnant and needs nourishment?" Chen's mother scolded.

"Mom, I have a wife too." said Brother Chen San.

"Yes?" Chen's mother was stunned and looked at Chen San's wife: "When did you get pregnant?"

"I just realized that my period hasn't come in the past few days. I guess I'm pregnant." Mrs. Chen San said quickly.

"It's not uncommon to come a few days late. Let's talk about it after it's confirmed." said Chen's mother.

Then he glanced at his son and said nothing more, only asking about the situation of his youngest daughter.

"I think my little sister is doing very well. She has a rosy complexion and looks much prettier than before she got married." Brother Chen San said, and couldn't help but say, "My eldest and second brothers and I went to the mountains to hunt pheasants and rabbits, but we didn't see a single hair. I saw Guobin brought back two. Seeing that my little sister didn't seem to like them, she must have eaten a lot of pheasants in the past."

"Come on, you just want to take it home to honor me and your father." Chen's mother snorted.

Brother Chen San smiled and said, "My little sister has become much more sensible after getting married." He couldn't stand the eldest lady's temper before, but today he went over and spoke to her gently, poured her a cup of warm water and put some sugar in it.

The key is that I gave him a return gift.

Isn't that just being sensible?

The sensible Chen Rou is stewing fish at this moment and eating boiled sweet potatoes for lunch.

The sweet potatoes of this season are also particularly fragrant and soft. They can be eaten with stewed fish without causing sour reflux.

Although it was cold in the afternoon, it didn't snow. Han Guobin didn't even take a nap and continued to climb the mountain.

He had slept enough since he hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. While it wasn't snowing, he just wanted to get something good to eat.

Han Guobin has always had good luck, but he returned empty-handed in the afternoon even though he had set quite a few traps. He will try to catch pheasants or rabbits next time.

Because he has this ability, his family is never short of money, but other families cannot have such good food.

There is no need to work in very cold weather, so naturally there are no work points to be calculated. If you have a lot of children at home, you will definitely have to tighten your belt at this time.

Because it will be the beginning of spring next year, there is still a long time to go, and we have to wait until the summer harvest next year before we can distribute the grain.

Life as a farmer is not easy.
