The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 25 (Part 2)

Chapter 25 (Part 2)

Han Guolin also agreed with his wife's request and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to mother about this."

Confinement after childbirth is a very important matter, how can it be easily glossed over?

His mother had no choice back then, but now that conditions are better, why not take care of the baby during the confinement period?

Seeing that he agreed directly and approved, Song Xiaoyu felt satisfied.

Although she married into the countryside, her husband Guolin never let her suffer any injustice, which made her very happy.

No matter what, she can't be worse than her second sister-in-law!

Chen Rou had no idea that her sister-in-law, who got pregnant at the same time as her, still had such a competitive mentality.

It was already August when she finished her confinement. It rained twice during her confinement, both of which were quite heavy. After those two rains, the weather is really hot now.

At noon, when Han Guobin went to work, Chen Rou would give him a military kettle of light salt water for him to drink.

When he came back in the evening, there was some mung bean soup left for him to relieve the heat. The weather was really unbearable, and he had to get full work points. If he didn't take good care of himself, even his iron body would not be able to bear it.

You haven't shown it now because you are young, but you will have to pay it back when you are old.

Chen Rou's hands and feet are now tied up by little Han Hang, so she can't do any work. She can only take care of the little guy at home and serve the only big white goose in the house.

Thanks to her good care, the big white goose has grown exceptionally strong, but it has not laid eggs yet.

It’s too hot now, even if the geese could lay eggs, they wouldn’t.

She heard from her mother that if it was too hot or too cold, the geese would not lay eggs. They would choose the right time to lay eggs. She estimated that it would be enough time to raise the geese until the autumn harvest.

By then, the goose eggs will be laid to nourish her husband Guobin.

Chen's mother hasn't come since she finished her confinement, because Chen Sansao's belly is getting bigger. This is Chen Sansao's second child. Although Chen's mother doesn't have to worry too much, there still has to be someone at home.

The hot August made Chen Rou worried that Han Guobin might get a heat stroke. Fortunately, the man was in good health and survived the dog days of summer. Starting from late August, the weather was not so hot anymore.

Chen Rou was chopping beef that day. She went to the town and bought two taels of pork. She took the opportunity to pull a piece out of the space to refine oil.

The two cans of lard stored last year were used up yesterday. We couldn’t be without oil at home, so I refined this small half pound of oil.

We can probably hold out until next month when the autumn harvest begins and we can share some meat.

The pork and beef are chopped together. You can't tell the difference when the two kinds of meat are eaten together. The lean meat can be cooked with the leftover rice.

She cooked a big pot, most of which she wanted to store in the space as a snack.

She is breastfeeding her baby and gets hungry very quickly, so she must have extra meals. With three normal meals a day, her milk is not enough for little Han Hang.

"Is my little sister home?" Chen Rou had just put the cooked porridge into the space when a sharp voice came from outside.

When Chen Rou looked outside, she saw who was coming. Wasn’t it her fourth sister Chen Wen?

The sum of the two sisters' names means "gentle", and Chen's father arranged for them to marry. He said that girls should be gentle and kind, so one was named Chen Wen and the other was named Chen Rou. Before they were given these formal names, their names were Si Ya and Wu Ya.

It had been such a long time since she gave birth to her child when her fourth sister came. The two sisters are two years apart in age and have similar personalities, both of them are competitive and strong-willed.

"Fourth sister is here." Chen Rou put the prepared porridge into the space, covered the rest with the lid, and came out.

"Your goose can now guard the door." Sister Chen Si said as she looked at the goose that wanted to peck her over the fence.

"No need to watch over the house, it's raised to lay eggs." Chen Rou drove away the big white goose that was good at guarding the house.

"What delicious food are you making? It smells so good?" Sister Chen Si said after she came in, sniffing her nose.

"I cooked some meat porridge and saved it for Guobin." Chen Rou said.

Fourth Sister Chen curled her lips and said, "I'm not eating yours." She handed over the small basket in her hand and said, "I heard about your birth yesterday when I went back to my parents' home. I didn't come in time, but with mother here, you will definitely have a good confinement without my eggs."

"What is this?" Chen Rou asked.

"Eggs? You don't want them?" said Chen Sijie.

Chen Rou was a little surprised, as she remembered that the relationship between the two sisters was not very good. She took it and removed the rag, and saw that it was quite a lot, at least two kilograms.

"So many?" Chen Rou looked at her and said.

Fourth Sister Chen glanced at her and said, "I heard from Third Sister-in-law when I went home yesterday that you had been in confinement for a full month. I came here today to see that you really look good."

This little face is white with a rosy glow, obviously it is well taken care of.

"My Guobin loves me." Chen Rou smiled.

"Now you say you love me, but when you first got married, you still had the idea of ​​marrying into the city. I told you a long time ago that Han Guobin would definitely not be bad." Sister Chen Si said contemptuously.

I think her sister was just crazy and couldn't think straight. Marrying in the city? Is it that easy to get married there?

Chen Rou did remember what her fourth sister had said to her, and she almost realized that her original self was ignorant and didn't know what was good intention and what was bad intention. It was obvious that her fourth sister really cared about her.

"My fourth sister, you are not as good at choosing people as I am. My brother-in-law's family is the team leader, the best family in Taoxi Village. If you marry him, you will have a pair of twin nephews at once. No one is more successful than you." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Her fourth sister was indeed capable and had a sharp eye. The place where she married was quite far away, and it took three hours to go back and forth, but Taoxi Village was a big village.

Her fourth sister met her fourth brother-in-law by chance. Her fourth sister was slightly less pretty than her, but she was also a standard oval-faced beauty. In comparison, her fourth brother-in-law was tall and strong.

When she came to their house to see him, she was still disdainful, thinking that her fourth brother-in-law was not handsome enough or delicate enough, and that she disliked her fourth sister and was targeting the peasant.

Because of this sentence, Chen Sijie almost broke off all contact with her.

But later she got engaged to Han Guobin, and her fourth sister came back and said that Han Guobin was a good man and would not be a bad match for her if she married him.

When Chen Rou thought of these things, she shook her head and smiled in her heart.

When Chen Sijie heard that she was so good at talking, she immediately looked at her and said, "I heard from Third Sister-in-law that you are sensible now, but I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect that you are so good at talking now that you are married?"

But Fourth Sister Chen was also somewhat proud. She would certainly marry a good man. She chose the man herself, the man who could carry two loads of stones up the mountain without even getting out of breath.

Her family was also the captain's family, and their conditions were the best in the village. Many families had their eyes on her man and had intentions towards him, but in the end, he was snatched away by a girl from another village who came from a long distance away.

After she got married, she got pregnant with twins, both boys. Even her mother-in-law looked up to her and thought she was blessed.

He especially liked her two grandsons and often asked her to steam egg custard for them.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Are my two nephews well behaved?"

"They are very naughty, dirty all day long, just like two little monkeys." Sister Chen said, "Where is my little nephew? I heard from mother that he is white and chubby?"

Chen Rou said: "He is sleeping inside."

Then she brought her fourth sister in to see Han Hang. When she saw this little nephew, Chen was amazed: "I didn't realize you are so good at raising children?"

Look at her little nephew, he is so white and chubby, just like a boy in a New Year picture. When she was pregnant with twins, it was so rare.

Her husband's family had never had twins for generations, so her parents-in-law took her seriously. She ate well, and her husband often went fishing and pheasanting to nourish her body.

When her two sons were born, they weighed almost four kilograms each, which was considered very good. Later, after she gave birth, her mother-in-law saw that they were two grandsons and was so happy that she spent money to buy her pig's trotters to increase her milk production.

She was well fed and grew up to be plump, at least that's considered fat among kids nowadays. But compared to her sister, she's not really fat.

She didn't even know that her unreliable little sister was so good at raising children?

"I'm afraid you haven't eaten well during this period of confinement." Sister Chen Si said.

If a baby is growing well, it goes without saying that it must be because he is well fed, and if he is well fed, he must eat well. Obviously, her little sister looks so healthy now, I wonder how much good food she has eaten?

"Guobin buys me pig's feet every day, and also catches fish and stews it for me to eat, so this little guy never lacks for food." Chen Rou said.

Sister Chen Si asked how come she had changed so much after not seeing her for a year after getting married, and it turned out that she had really married into a happy family.

This year, on the second day of the first lunar month when her son-in-law came to visit, she and her husband did not go back. She went back on the third day, and missed Chen Rou. So if you calculate it, they have not seen each other for almost a year since Chen Rou got married.

Chen Sijie was not surprised that her younger sister seemed like a different person. After all, she was married and a mother now. How could she live the same as before?

This time, when Fourth Sister Chen came over to take a look, she was quite satisfied. She thought it was finally something reasonable.

"Okay, I'm still busy at home, so I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back first. You take out the eggs, and I have to take the small basket back." Sister Chen Si said.

Chen Rou asked, "Fourth sister, you brought so many eggs here, won't your in-laws say anything about you?"

"I exchanged my private money with others." Sister Chen Si said. Although her husband's family did not split up the family, she still had some private money in her hands.
