The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 22 (Part 5)

Chapter 22 (Part 5)

After entering the twelfth lunar month, if it doesn't snow, many villagers will go to break the ice and catch fish to eat.

It's really unbearable to eat cabbage and radish every day. It would be better to change the taste with some meat.

And with every household looking forward to it, the day for the last meat distribution of the year has arrived.

On the morning of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the whole village was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

It was freezing and snowy outside, and Chen Rou had no interest in slaughtering the pig. She originally wanted to let Han Guobin carry the basin to divide the meat, but when she thought about meeting her mother-in-law when dividing the meat, she decided to go out.

After being fully armed and wrapped, Chen Rou started to share the meat with Han Guobin.

"Finally, the meat is distributed. I've been eating cabbage and radishes for so long that my mouth is now blistered." Zhou Zhen said when she saw the couple coming over.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "The one in your family has been fishing a lot. I would believe what others say, but I don't believe what you say."

"He went fishing. He was the only one who went fishing in the family. He brought back two or three fish and only ate a few mouthfuls of them." Zhou Zhen muttered in a low voice.

This is why Zhou Zhen is looking forward to dividing the family property. Her husband is hardworking and pragmatic, and so is she. Now they only have one child, and if the family is divided up, they will definitely not live badly.

For example, when eating fish in winter, only her husband goes to break ice and catch fish, while the others stay at home waiting to eat. As Zhou Zhen said, just let them starve!

"We'll break up when we find the chance." Chen Rou was very familiar with her and they had a good relationship. She could have a say. It was difficult for her to say it before, but now she dared to say it.

And Chen Rou also saw it. Ma Dafa was indeed impeccable, but his two brothers were very average. It’s not that they were bad, but it’s normal for big birds to split into small families and big trees to split into small ones.

Zhou Zhen also wanted to divide the family property, and sighed, "I asked Dafa quietly at night, and he said that it was not right for my parents to divide the family property."

"What's inappropriate? Do you think my family's behavior is inappropriate? We'll take care of him when he gets old. It's not like we'll stop taking care of him after the family splits up. You should talk to him properly." Chen Rou said.

Zhou Zhen said: "I've said it several times..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a voice shouting to divide the meat, and a lot of people gathered around.

Chen Rou said, "Let's not talk about it for now. Go over and divide the meat. I plan to order some pig blood and cabbage stew."

Zhou Zhen said: "I really envy you."

Chen Rou ignored her and came over with the basin to queue up.

Sure enough, they saw Han's mother and Han Guolin who were in front of them. As for Song Xiaoyu, she was still living in her mother's house.

But there was nothing she could do. It was snowing so heavily and she had to go to work, which was very inconvenient. It would be much better for her to just stay at her mother's house.

Chen Rou called out "Mom" and "Uncle Three", and Han's mother rolled her eyes. Han Guolin just smiled awkwardly.

Chen Rou didn't care and lined up with her Guobin, and asked her Guobin what he wanted to eat.

"You can order whatever you like, everything is delicious." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou asked, "Do you want to eat pig intestines? I saw Auntie Ma cook it last time. It was fried with pickles and it smelled pretty good."

"Eat." Han Guobin nodded.

So when dividing the meat, Chen Rou asked for a piece of fat for oil, and also asked for the inferior ones, including the large intestine and a piece of pig blood. These were not expensive and not much was asked for, so there was still room for share, so Chen Rou asked for two ribs and a piece of tenderloin.

"You have divided the meat, shouldn't you show some filial piety?" said Han's mother, who had not left yet after dividing the meat.

Han Guolin beside her was stunned. Seeing his second sister-in-law looking at him, and everyone else looking at him, he was not so shameless and quickly said, "Mom, let's go back. Second brother didn't get much."

"If you don't get much, you don't have to show filial piety?" Han's mother couldn't help but ask, "Your father and I are already this old, isn't it okay for us to have a bite of the meat that our son and daughter-in-law share?"

Chen Rouxin thought that she was lucky to meet a mother-in-law like her who would ask for meat.

Last time, they were far away and he went back immediately after dividing the meat. She didn't even have the chance to speak. Now that she bumped into him, she couldn't avoid him.

If her Guobin came over, she might give him some, but Chen Rou really didn't plan to give him any. "If mom doesn't have meat to eat, then I, your daughter-in-law, will give it to you even if I have to cut off my own flesh. But you guys got a lot, dad and mom. After all, the job of the scorekeeper is good. He can easily get high work points by holding a pen and recording the scores."

"I'm so ashamed." Han Guolin said repeatedly.

"What are you feeling ashamed of? That's because you are capable. Let's ask someone else to remember it. Wouldn't it be a mess?" said Han's mother.

"My Guobin is so smart, but it was you who delayed his development back then. If you had supported my Guobin's studies, he would not necessarily be worse than my third uncle." Chen Rou said.

"With your family's financial situation, how can you afford to send so many children to school? Are you going to make it?" Han's mother glared at her.

"Then my Guobin will be sacrificed." Chen Rou looked at her man. The crying child gets the milk. Obviously, this man in her family is not a crybaby.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about the past. Guobin is under my care now. He worked too hard in the past and his health is a little weak, so I plan to nourish him. I've taken all the meat home. Look, Uncle San has such a big bowl in his hand. It's enough for him to eat for a long time. I won't give it to you." Chen Rou said.

Then, he said to Han Guobin: "Guobin, let's go home."

"Okay." Han Guobin took these things and went home with his beautiful wife.

Although it may sound a bit unfilial to say this, he still likes the way his wife protects her own meat so domineeringly that she won't give up even a pound of it.
