The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 27 (Part 3)

Chapter 27 (Part 3)

"Come back to sleep in the morning and go to work in the afternoon." Han Guobin smiled and said.

Chen Rou looked at him: "Then you decide for yourself. If you are tired, take a rest. Don't tire yourself out. Life is not something that can be achieved in just one or two days."

Han Guobin smiled and said, "I know what's going on."

"What do you think of me? You make me worry all day long. I never have a moment of peace of mind." Chen Rou said to him.

Han Guobin naturally apologized immediately. After the couple chatted for a while, Chen Rou came out to cook dinner.

The meat was just distributed yesterday, but not much was eaten, so there's still some left. It's a good opportunity to give him some good nourishment.

This time she not only asked for fat to make oil, but also pig's head. She was chopping the pig's head in the kitchen and planned to braise it for him.

In addition to the pork head, there are also large bones and ribs, but you can save them for later.

If her son Guobin goes to work in a slaughterhouse in the future, that job will definitely be lucrative.

The couple naturally had a sumptuous dinner that night, eating boiled sweet potatoes with braised pork head. The taste was so good that Han Guobin had never eaten such delicious pork head in his life.

He hadn't seen his wife for several days, so naturally he missed her at night.

Chen Rou asked him to go down and put on protective measures himself, but Han Guobin wanted to resist and didn't want to wear them.

But she had to wear it. Chen Rou really didn't want to get pregnant with a second child so soon. After calculating the time, she could get pregnant before the summer next year, and she could save money in the spring of the year after. By then, the weather would be warmer, and the child would be less likely to get sick, and it would be easier to take care of him.

After all, children have a lot of feces and urine. Where can you find so many diapers in such a cold weather?

For example, right now, the old Han family's house is full of diapers, and the whole room smells of baby feces and urine. Little Han Hang is so old now that he can be given diapers on time, and he doesn't need more than two or three diapers a day.

But even so, it was still a big test for their little house.

It was really cold today, and you could see ice chips when you woke up the next morning.

Han Guobin got up first. Chen Rou and her son were still sleeping. Chen Rou was busy taking care of the little guy's food at night, so he naturally needed to catch up on some sleep now.

Han Guobin boiled water in a pot, changed the water in the thermos, filled the military kettle, and then began to cook sweet potatoes. During his free time, he brushed his teeth.

Early in the morning, a stranger came over with a bicycle.

Han Guobin frowned slightly and looked at him.

"Han Guobin?" the visitor asked with a smile.

Han Guobin spat out the water in his mouth, squinted at him, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm the county magistrate's secretary. You can call me Secretary Zhang." Secretary Zhang smiled.

Han Guobin frowned. What was Secretary Zhang, the county magistrate's secretary, doing in their small village? And did he know him?

"If you are free today, go to the city. The county magistrate has arranged a job for you. From now on, you can eat commercial grain." Secretary Zhang came here mainly to inform this. It was very cold, and he went out before dawn!

"What?" Han Guobin looked at him coldly.

Secretary Zhang took out a document with the county magistrate's personal seal from his briefcase and handed it to him. "This is what the county magistrate gave me. He said you were honest and returned a large stack of bills. There happened to be a vacancy in the fleet, so he wanted to recruit you."

Han Guobin wondered when he had ever picked up a bill, and said, "I have never picked up any bills."

"Yes, the county magistrate called me personally and said this. This is your information. Do you think it matches?" Secretary Zhang took out another piece of paper with Han Guobin's information on it.

Han Guobin realized belatedly that this was probably arranged by the provincial capital.

"I can't drive." Han Guobin declined politely and had already planned to go to Lao Yang's slaughterhouse.

"That's nothing, man. Just learn it. Don't you want to drive a big truck? It's a skill that you'll use for a lifetime." Secretary Zhang said.

This made Han Guobin's heart move, but he said: "I plan to work in the slaughterhouse. There is a position for me there."

Doesn't going to the slaughterhouse mean that his mission has failed this time?

Secretary Zhang was here on orders. The county magistrate said that Han Guobin must accept this position.

So Secretary Zhang immediately said, "At the slaughterhouse, you just kill pigs and chop pork. How can that be considered a decent job? Not only is it very tiring, but there are no holidays. If you work as a driver transporting supplies, you can only rest three days a month."

"What kind of treatment?" Han Guobin already understood what was going on, so he was very calm.

"Of course the treatment is excellent, 34 yuan a month, and the bills and other things will not be less. You can also move your wife and children to the city, and we can arrange a dormitory for you, so that your family of three can eat commercial grain!" Secretary Zhang said.

This means that not only are jobs provided, but housing is also provided and the household registration is transferred.

At this time of year, it is not easy to transfer one's household registration. For example, Han Guoli had to go through great pains to transfer her household registration, and she had to deal with a lot of relationships with her in-laws.

But there is nothing my husband's family can do about it. Their son is so determined to have this country girl. They can only use their connections to find a way for him, otherwise the grandson they give birth to will have to have a rural household registration.

Now it is said that it will be transferred.

Han Guobin was already very tempted. Thirty-four yuan a month was enough for him to support his family. He could also transfer his household registration, so wouldn't his family become city dwellers?

The reward from the provincial capital was really nice, and they also thought it through very carefully, saying directly that he was an honest man and had nothing to do with anything else, so the spies wouldn't trace it back to him.

Han Guobin is pleased that his wife and son will not be in any danger.

However, even though he was moved, he still had to discuss it with his wife. He looked at Secretary Zhang and said, "How about you go back first? I have to discuss it with my wife and hear what she thinks."

When Secretary Zhang left, he was carrying two big hot sweet potatoes in his pocket. He ate them as he walked out of the village. He was finally warm now.

Ma Dafa next door saw it early. As soon as Secretary Zhang left, he came to ask Han Guobin: "Who was that person just now?"

Han Guobin laid the foundation first and said, "He is from a government agency in the county."

Ma Dafa was shocked: "Then why are we looking for you?"

"I picked up a lot of bills last time, and I gave them to them. They have already contacted the owner and came to thank me." Han Guobin said.

Ma Dafa suddenly understood, but when he found out that the other person's thanks were actually to arrange for him to work as a truck driver in the city, his eyes almost popped out.

There was no need to discuss this matter. After getting up, Chen Rou listened to her man talking about what happened in the morning. She had no moral integrity at all and directly asked him to change!

The salary is almost twice that of the slaughterhouse, why not change your job?

A skilled worker in the city only makes a few dollars a month, but a driver can only make thirty-four yuan a month, which is a generous salary!

Nowadays there is a saying that 36 yuan is the best. 34 yuan a month is not as high as 36 yuan, but it is also the highest.

More than ten dollars can support a family, let alone thirty-four dollars.

Moreover, Chen Rou also felt that being a driver was much better than being a pig killer. Not to mention the question of whether it was decent or not, the main thing was that being a driver didn't require one to stay up late.

There was no choice before for Han Guobin to go, but now there is a choice, why not choose a better one?

As for moving the whole family to the city, Chen Rou refused for the time being: "We can talk about the transfer of household registration later. For now, we can just live in the village. When we build a brick house and a yard, it will be no worse than living in the city."

The key is that Chen Rou still wants to stay in the village. She doesn’t know when life outside will get better, but she undoubtedly regards the village as a retreat.

If Han Guobin could no longer do his job as a driver, he could go home and earn work points so he wouldn't go hungry.

But if we move to the city, then we will have no way out. The whole family will eat commercial grain, which is respectable, but we will always feel uneasy.

Han Guobin listened to his wife. If he went to the city, he might not be able to adapt to the living environment there. Also, moving there rashly would be too sudden.

We can talk about it when he gets familiar with the city.

Han Guobin went to borrow the captain's car. The captain had also heard about this and naturally asked a few questions.

Han Guobin did not hide it and said, "The city has arranged for me to learn to be a driver, but I have to go to the city to confirm it myself. If it is really arranged, I may not have time to go to work in the future."
