The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 26 (Part 2)

Chapter 26 (Part 2)

Song Xiaoyu also had a very comfortable confinement period. Her mother-in-law took care of her personally and served her more attentively than anything else.

When Song's mother and sister-in-law brought gifts to the house and saw this, they praised Han's mother to the sky and said they had never seen such a good mother-in-law.

In fact, Han's mother was happy that she had a baby grandson, but to be honest, she really didn't intend to let her daughter-in-law spend the confinement period like this.

But the youngest son came to her and told her that the second sister-in-law had such a good confinement after childbirth, so how could his wife's confinement be worse than the second sister-in-law's? How would others see him? Would they say that Xiaoyu would not be as well off marrying him as the second sister-in-law married the second brother?

And Xiaoyu is his wife, who will accompany him to take care of his parents in their old age. Xiaoyu has had a good confinement period, and he should be grateful to her for the rest of his life. If she doesn't suffer from any postpartum disease, then he, as her husband, will have to worry less, and she is also helping him.

As for the food, it must not be bad. If it is bad, the child’s food rations will not be nutritious enough and he will definitely not become fat.

In the end, Han's mother felt that this was all because of the good example set by the second son's family!

If the younger daughter-in-law's confinement is worse than that of the second son's family, what will the younger daughter-in-law think? She is still a girl in the town and earns much more than the second son's family.

Isn't she worthy of a proper confinement? How could she feel happy if she was really defeated?

After much thought, Han's mother decided to let her daughter-in-law have a good confinement period.

So when Song's mother and sister-in-law came over and saw Han's mother praising her so much that the smile on her face never faded, they really felt that this kind of care was also a way for their mother-in-law to see that her daughter had married into a happy family, right?

There is no one else in the village who serves her daughter-in-law like her.

Song Xiaoyu was still thinking about another thing. On the day of her confinement, she sighed and said to Han Guolin, "Last year, I promised my mother that I would make new clothes for my parents. Now that our son is born, the fabric is in short supply. Guolin, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to my parents."

Han Guolin didn't care and said, "What's the big deal? Our son is born now. His parents still have clothes to wear. Just save them for our son."

Apart from those foolishly filial men, many men are actually like this. After getting married and having children, their hearts will tend to their own small family.

Before getting married, I was only filial to my parents. Now that I have my own family, I put my own family first.

Those who are selfless are not included in this category. After all, some men would rather their own wives and children starve to death than not let their parents have enough to eat.

But obviously Han Guolin is not that kind of person.

He looked at his son with great fondness, and his second brother's son looked like his second sister-in-law, but his son looked like him.

She is very pretty and he likes her no matter how he looks at her. How could he possibly treat his son badly?

"Then go and talk to your mother?" Song Xiaoyu looked at him and said.

"It's not a big deal. Okay, I'll go and talk to him." Han Guolin nodded.

"Then what do you want to say?" Song Xiaoyu asked.

Han Guolin was puzzled: "Just say it directly."

"That won't do." Song Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. What did he mean by saying that directly?

Han Guolin asked her what she was going to say. Song Xiaoyu had already prepared a speech in her mind, so she told him. Han Guolin felt that his wife was quite thoughtful.

But it’s all for my son, so there’s no need to say less.

He went to tell Han's mother about this. As expected of a scorekeeper, he was quite smart. He polished Song Xiaoyu's words and spoke very artistically: "Xiaoyu said that we should save all the cloth coupons this year to make a set of clothes for you two. This is what she promised you. But now that Xiao Si'er is born, we are short of diapers and small clothes. I was thinking that you still have clothes to wear, why not give them to Xiao Si'er first?"

He had named his son Han Si early on. If it was a daughter, she would be named Han Shi, but Han Si was used and Han Shi was not.

"Of course they should be kept for Xiao Si first. It's so cold, so we need to prepare more diapers." said Han's mother.

"Hey, Xiaoyu won't agree. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won't listen. She insists that she has promised you, Dad and Mom." Han Guolin said, "How about you go and persuade Xiaoyu?"

Han's mother was very moved, so she came into the room and successfully persuaded her "guilty" daughter-in-law.

I also talked about this with Han's father at night, and said, "The third brother's family is also filial, so let's put off making the clothes. There's no rush."

I originally wanted to make clothes this year, but my grandson was born, so there was nothing I could do about it. My daughter-in-law also had good intentions.

"Yeah." Father Han nodded. Of course, he had to take care of his grandson now. There was no doubt about that.

Inside the brick house, Song Xiaoyu was also satisfied. She even went over and kissed Han Guolin as a reward.

Song Xiaoyu was in confinement after childbirth, so Chen Rou and Han Dasao, as sisters-in-law, naturally went to visit her.

Chen Rou didn't feel anything, but Mrs. Han felt jealous again.

She didn't receive such treatment when her two sons were in confinement. Especially when she gave birth to her eldest son, she felt happy just to have a mouthful of thick porridge.

But the second daughter’s confinement period was almost the same as that of Empress Dowager Cixi, and now the third daughter’s is the same. Why doesn’t she have such a good life?

After leaving the old Han's house, Han's eldest sister-in-law put aside her sour mood and started talking to Chen Rou: "Second uncle is now alone in the mountains. He will be gone for several days. Can you let go of that worry?"

Chen Rou was actually a little worried, so she wanted Brother Han to go with her. After all, Brother Han was a pretty good guy.

However, her Guobin disagreed. Later, she thought about it and felt that it made sense. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. It is better to keep them as brothers and not involve them in financial transactions.

This is very suitable for Gao Zheng. After all, Gao Zheng is young, and he also needs Han Guobin to lead him into the deeper mountains.

Otherwise he would definitely not dare to go. It's good enough for a young man like him to just want to earn some money and marry a wife.

Facts have proved that it is a good idea to bring Gao Zheng along, but no one in the village knows that Han Guobin is with Gao Zheng. They both agreed on a time and place to meet in the mountains.

"Guobin doesn't let me take care of his affairs, so he just lets me take good care of the children at home." Chen Rou said.

"Don't try to persuade me. As soon as I see the look on Second Uncle's face, I know you have the final say in the family," said Mrs. Han.

"I have the final say at home, and he has the final say outside of home." Chen Rou smiled.

Mrs. Han got straight to the point: "Tiedan's father stays at home idle after the farming off-season. Wouldn't it be great if Second Uncle could take him into the mountains with him? Then they can take care of each other."

"Sister-in-law, Guobin can do it alone." She was direct, and Chen Rou was also direct.

"Are you afraid of being split up?" said Mrs. Han.

"Whatever the sister-in-law said, they are all brothers." Chen Rou said, "My son is still sleeping at home, so I will go back first."

After watching her leave, Mrs. Han went home angrily, and Brother Han went fishing.

Not many, only four or five. He said, "Send one each to the second and third brother's wife?"

"What's there to send? There's not enough food for us to eat at home, it's a waste to give it to them!" Mrs. Han snorted coldly.

"Did you eat firecrackers? You're so angry." Brother Han said in confusion.

"You said your second uncle went into the mountains, why didn't he take you with him?" said Mrs. Han.

Brother Han looked at her strangely and said, "The second brother is married now. Why would he take me with him when he goes into the mountains to earn some extra money?" Isn't this a nonsense question?

Mrs. Han asked, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to go into the mountains alone?"

"Why didn't you say this when the second brother went into the mountains before we split up?" said Brother Han.

Mrs. Han was completely blocked. Before the family division, all the money she earned was given to the family. She had no share. Why did she ask her husband to go into the mountains with her? But now the family division has been completed, so it's still the same?

"Don't even think about it. Now that the family has been divided, the second brother will definitely focus on his own family. I see that the second brother's wife is not very frugal and spends a lot. It's not easy for the second brother to earn some money, so don't even think about splitting the money." The eldest brother Han understood his wife very well. After saying that, he told his eldest son, "Tiedan, give a fish to your grandparents and your second aunt each."

Chen Rou received a fish and accepted it without hesitation. Han Guobin was not at home, so she stewed it and ate it herself.

Eating fish made her hungry a little, luckily her son got up in the middle of the night to eat it, but she still missed her thief man.

She told her mother to buy things from her uncle quickly.

Han Guobin came back in the morning, and her third brother delivered these things to her at night.

Han Guobin went out to get it into the house, and Brother Chen San didn't stay long and went back. It was already mid-November, the end of October in the lunar calendar, and it was very cold at night.
