The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 24 (Part 1)

Chapter 24 (Part 1)

After putting away all the money in the house, she started to boil water for Han Guobin.

He has to go back to work tomorrow, and he hasn't taken a bath since New Year's Eve. I'll give him another one today.

He also burned the kang in the house.

After the water was boiled, he was asked to go out and scoop it in. Chen Rou then rubbed his back. It didn't matter if the weather was too cold, as there was hot water to add to the water. He wouldn't feel cold even if he sat in the bathtub.

"Wife, it feels so comfortable." Han Guobin said comfortably as he lay on the edge of the bucket, letting his wife rub his back.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then I'll rub it for you a little longer."

Han Guobin raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Look, this is his wife, so sweet and soft, she makes him so precious.

I gave Han Guobin a clean bath with soap, and then changed the water so Chen Rou could take a bath as well. The couple had not taken a bath since the last time, which was really inconvenient.

But let’s wash them together now.

There was a kang heating in the room, the water was hot, and the clothes drying on the kang were also warm, so there was no problem putting them on after washing.

Han Guobin was responsible for washing the clothes that had been taken off.

Chen Rou felt very comfortable after taking a shower and came out of the kitchen leisurely.

"Boss, what do you want to eat today?" Chen Rou asked.

"Just do whatever you want." Han Guobin, who was adding hot water to wash clothes, said that his wife was a good cook and everything she made was delicious.

Chen Rou also knew that her man was easy to feed and was not picky about food, so she prepared some instant noodles for dinner.

There is more than one box of noodles left out of the two boxes in her space, but she rarely takes it out to eat. He has to go to work tomorrow, so she will prepare something delicious today.

I went into the cupboard and took out a tube of noodles.

Chen Rou prepared everything for him, including instant noodles and an egg. But she didn't eat it because she had already eaten with him this morning.

She eats one egg at most a day, not more.

All that’s left is to take out the fried pork belly covered with white oil from the large bowl. It tastes salty and fragrant, and you don’t even need to put it in the pan. Just press it directly into the noodles.

Two large bowls of noodles came out quickly, and Han Guobin's clothes were washed, so he was called over by his wife to eat noodles.

"Wife, you laid an egg for yourself." Han Guobin couldn't help but say when he saw that there was not only a lot of meat in his bowl, but also an egg.

There are eggs in my bowl but not in his wife's bowl. How can this be okay?

"Don't tell me this. I eat delicious food every day when you are not at home." Chen Rou said.

What she said was not a lie. When he went into the mountains, she not only ate beef every day, but also drank mutton soup. She was nutritious enough.

Han Guobin laughed, but of course he didn't believe it. He just thought that his wife loved him.

He also returned the favor by holding the egg and letting his wife have a bite. Chen Rou looked at him, took a small bite, and let him eat it himself.

"Don't bring the meat over here, just eat your own." Chen Rou said when she saw him trying to bring the meat over.

She just stuffed five pieces into his noodles, and she didn't have much for herself, only three pieces. But she had to start work tomorrow, so how could she eat as much as she wanted?

You have to count on your fingers.

Moreover, these noodles are thin noodles, and you can slurp them up even without meat, which makes you want to keep eating them. Compared with coarse grains, these thin noodles are the most delicious, with a strong wheat aroma.

The couple ate to their heart's content and washed the dishes cleanly. They had to go to work tomorrow, so they wanted to rest early today.

Han Guobin hadn't teased her for a long time, but today he couldn't help it.

Chen Rou let him do what he wanted. After all, she missed him a little.

The couple naturally enjoyed a comfortable and loving time together, and then fell asleep in each other's arms.

It’s not even seven o’clock yet.

But people in the village all go to bed so early.

The head of the old Han family is now talking about the couple.

Han's mother thought that the second son must have made money: "In the past, he would bring back five yuan when he went out at the end of the year or the beginning of the year. This year, he went out more diligently than in previous years. How could he not make money? But he didn't bring back a penny!"

Speaking of which, Han's mother was also angry.

In the past, when we asked the second son to go out, he was always reluctant to go out. But last year, he got married, and after the slack season in the fields, he went to the mountains every day.

Some people in the village caught pheasants and rabbits, but they basically ate them themselves. If they wanted to sell them, they could, but there was basically no way to do so.

Her second child has it, but he never talks about it.

But putting all that aside, just by the fact that he was so diligent, she felt that he must have made a lot of money, but she didn't see a penny, was that reasonable?

"We make a lot of money, but I'm afraid we won't be able to save much," said Han's father.

Speaking of this, Han's mother became even more angry: "That spendthrift woman eats meat every day. Both families say that her family's cooking fumes never stop!"

"Don't worry about it. Let them live their own lives after the division. And don't think about the second son's money. His family is clear-headed now and you can't take advantage of them." Han's father said.

Forget about taking advantage, just don't let the second brother's family take advantage of you.

Mother Han was also angry, but thinking of Chen Rou's quick words, she said, "I'll go get some meat tomorrow. The third daughter is pregnant, so we need to give her some supplements!"

We can’t let the third child’s family eat worse than the second child’s family, and the grandchildren born in the future must be whiter and fatter than those of the second child’s family!

Song Xiaoyu has been pregnant for just over a month. Calculating the date, it turns out that she got pregnant when the couple went to live at his father-in-law's house. Han Guolin was extremely happy.

Now that Song Xiaoyu has moved back to live with her husband's family, Han Guolin picks her up from get off work every day.

So even though she married to the countryside, there were many people in the supply and marketing cooperative who envied her. Who didn't know that her parents-in-law treated her like their own daughter? And the man was handsome, and he was a scorekeeper. He would pick her up and drop her off at get off work. Even if the in-laws were from the countryside, she would be happy.

And it’s not that life in the countryside is bad. There is grain distribution in the countryside and there is plenty of food.

Unlike them, who all have a fixed amount of food and cannot necessarily buy it even if they have money, they all have to tighten their belts to make ends meet.

Song Xiaoyu was also happy about her pregnancy, knowing that her second uncle's family must have made some money, but she didn't worry about it. How much could they earn from that?

This year their salary increased by more than one yuan, and they also received more bills. Both her parents-in-law and her husband received work points, so Song Xiaoyu felt that her family's life was not bad at all.

Is it necessary to envy my second uncle's family? That's not the case.

I started working the next day.

Chen Rou didn't have to go out to collect grass for the pigs, so she stayed at home and made breakfast for Han Guobin so that he could eat a full meal before going out. She then did some sewing in the house.

Her mother got her a piece of cloth from her uncle. It was a gift from a grandmother to her little grandson, so Chen Rou didn't insist on giving her money.

Now that I'm free at home, I've started making clothes for the little one.

Fabric is hard to come by, so Chen Rou naturally can’t make close-fitting ones, so she only makes larger ones.

She also heard that children have a lot of feces and urine, so she should prepare more diapers.

She has calculated that she will give birth around the summer harvest. It will still be hot then and diapers will dry easily after washing, so it won't be a big deal.

In the next few months, the weather will get colder and the little one will grow a little older, so you can start changing his diaper at a fixed time.

It's okay.

Chen Rou prepared two sets of small clothes for the little one, which were about three months old. If the little one was too small, he could just be wrapped in a small quilt.

She took a lot of effort to make the small quilt, and asked her mother to buy one for her from her uncle. She also took apart the down jackets she had collected in her own space and sewed it into a small quilt. This small quilt is the little one's quilt, and it can be used until the child is seven or eight years old.

Basically, Chen Rou made these things at home, and the rest was cooking. Han Guobin was also very curious when he saw the little clothes and quilts she made.

The man is also looking forward to the arrival of a new member of the family.

After spring finally arrived in March, Chen Rou had mostly taken care of all these things for the little one in her belly. If there was still some shortfall in the future, she would just take care of it and replenish it when the time came.

Chen Rou was not idle at home either. She went out with the women in the village to pick wild vegetables.

The leeks in the field have been edible since last month.
