The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 27 (Part 4)

Chapter 27 (Part 4)

The captain's wife, Chen Aidi, was shocked and asked, "Did they really pick up so many bills?"

"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.

"Good boy, you've brought honor to our team!" the team leader praised.

Han Guobin rode his bike into the city, and the news spread throughout the village. Now everyone gathered at the small adobe house.

"Guobin's wife, is Guobin really going to work as a driver in the city and eat commercial grain in the future?"

"If we eat commercial grain, won't we become city dwellers?"

"So are you going to live in the village or move to the city? If you move to the city, what will you and your children do?"

“…”

Everyone was talking at once, discussing the matter.

Chen Rou also answered in a friendly manner: "If nothing unexpected happens, he should go to the city to be a driver. The city is willing to transfer our household registration, but I don't know how long Guobin can work in this job. After all, he is a villager and has no foundation or acquaintances outside. People gave him the job just to thank him for returning the money. If this position is taken over by others in the future, he can also return to the village to continue to earn work points."

It's also a precautionary measure. If you really can't continue doing this in the future, there's no need to laugh at it.

She didn't know that her man had coaxed her into it as well. It wasn't a matter of returning lost property at all, but rather retrieving the results of years of research in the laboratory and helping to break up a spy nest.

However, Han Guobin is not the kind of person who would make his wife worry, so let his wife think so and don't scare her.

Almost everyone understood that there were real jobs, and that the company was willing to relocate Han Guobin's family to that place. It was just that the couple themselves did not agree.

But the concerns are also correct. Although once you get the job you can keep doing it as long as there are no mistakes, but Chen Rou is right. Country people really have no roots in the city. If they are replaced, even if their household registration is not transferred there, they can still go back to the village and continue to earn work points to support their family.

The news almost spread throughout the village.

The news soon spread to the old Han family.

Han's father and mother were both shocked. Is the second child going to eat commercial grain?

Not to mention the old couple, isn't it the same for Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu? Second uncle is going to the city to be a driver?

"What's going on?" Song Xiaoyu was still in the confinement period and didn't go out, so she didn't know and asked Han Guolin.

Han Guolin told her what he had heard, and even Song Xiaoyu didn't know what to say.

Are you saying that the second uncle is a blockhead and has no smart brain, or that he is just a fool with good fortune?

If she had picked up so many bills and no one saw them, she would never be stupid enough to report them to the police.

There are so many bills. Wouldn't it be nice to keep them for yourself?

So if it was her, there would naturally be no such thing as a rewarding job.

"How much is the monthly salary for a job like this?" Han's mother came in and asked her.

Song Xiaoyu had no idea, so she guessed and said, "The drivers in the city must be well paid. I estimate they make at least 25 yuan a month."

She couldn't help but feel a little bitter. If her second uncle only made 25 yuan a month, that would be almost double what she made.

"Twenty-five dollars a month?" Han's mother said in shock.

When Mr. Han outside heard this, his face trembled. Twenty-five yuan a month, that is three hundred yuan a year.

How big a household needs to be to get 300 yuan a year?

The second child is about to make progress.

This is what Han’s father wanted, while Han’s mother wanted money!

Since my son is so successful, he must support his parents. He has to give her at least 15 yuan out of the 25 yuan a month!

When Han's father heard this, he couldn't help but look at her, thinking, "You still want money? You must be dreaming. The family has been divided, don't even think about it. No one cares if she makes a fuss."

"Don't jump up, it will be next year when each family will contribute a little work points to support us," said Han's father.

"What? I'm his biological mother, how can he not respect me?" Han's mother glared at him.

Han's father said, "Please stop making trouble." He felt embarrassed.

It was impossible for Han's mother not to make a scene. She had to make a scene. How could she get the money without making a scene? Twenty-five yuan a month, how much money was that? At least fifteen yuan, not a penny less!

Now let’s talk about Mrs. Han.

Right now, she was beating her own clothes at home. Yes, she was almost dying of jealousy!

How come the second brother's family is so lucky? During the confinement period, she was taken care of like an old Buddha. Now, the second uncle has got a job. I don't know how much he earns, but it is definitely not low.

The second son’s family can eat just by sitting at home and not working!

Why doesn't she have that fate? She thinks she hasn't done anything against the law, but why doesn't she have that fate to enjoy life?

How is she inferior to the second brother?

Brother Han heard a lot outside and his face was beaming when he came back.

Seeing him like this, Han's wife got angry and took out all her anger on him: "Why, are you so happy? Second uncle has that ability, why can't you have that ability to make me famous in the village?"

Although Brother Han had a good temper, he couldn't help but frown at this moment and said, "Did I let you starve or freeze?"

Mrs. Han was almost angry to tears.

She was actually just angry. The second son's family was obviously not that good, so why was it getting better and better?

Naturally, her man is not bad either, and he earns a lot of work points. This is why she usually holds her chin up high in the village, because unlike some men, they are really useless and have to rely on the women at home for food.

Our life at home cannot be compared with the best in the village, but we can still eat 70% to 80% full, which is not as good as others but better than others.

But Han's sister-in-law is just jealous. The life that the second family is living now is really a good life. Relying on the man in the family, they are really enjoying a great life.

"This position is what the second brother deserves. If it were me, I would have picked it up and returned it. Then you would have called me a fool. People are grateful to him and moved by his high awareness. He got such a position. Why are you jealous?" said Brother Han.

I am not a bad woman, but the only thing is that I like to compare myself with others. There are so many people in the world, how can I compare with them? I should just live my own life.

Mrs. Han shed two tears, and the matter was over.

But after Han Guobin came back from the city, he said that he had confirmed that he would go there to learn how to drive the day after tomorrow, and the news spread in the village again.

Old Chen's family also received the news that day, and mother Chen was so happy.

Pulling Chen's father aside, he praised him, "Speaking of the vision of choosing a son-in-law, no one in the whole village can match you, Old Chen. Look at the son-in-law you picked for our daughter. She is really marrying into a lucky family. How can you have such a good vision?"

Chen's father was so proud of the compliment that his face lit up, but he still pretended to be calm: "I've always had high hopes for Guobin."

"You saw Dabang at that time, didn't you say he was reliable? Look at how your eldest daughter is doing, it's not bad either. It's all thanks to you!" said Chen's mother.

The corners of Chen's father's mouth were raised, and as for Brother Chen and his brothers, they were used to it long ago.

What their father likes most is being praised by their mother, and the old couple has a very good relationship.

But they didn't expect that this little brother-in-law would really have a bright future.

Mrs. Chen thought she had a good relationship with her aunt Chen Rou, and said with a smile, "I'm not saying that, aunt is so pretty, it's obvious that she will bring good luck to her husband. Now it's true. She's been married for only two years and she gave her uncle a big fat son who looks like a boy in a New Year picture. Uncle also got such a job. This is all because of aunt."

"It's too exaggerated." Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Ersao said with twitching mouth.

"What exaggeration? It's not an exaggeration at all. This is my little sister's blessing!" Brother Chen San said, and then said to his mother: "Mom, didn't you say at the time that my little sister has a good fortune? At home, she will bring good luck to her parents and brothers, and after she gets married, she will bring good luck to her husband and sons!"

"That's not what I said. It was Li Sanguai from the village who said it," said Chen's mother.

Li Sanguai was the fortune teller in their village. Chen's mother wanted to calculate whether her pretty little daughter had the fate of marrying into the city.

Li Sanguai just said these words. As for whether she was suitable for marriage, he didn't say anything. He just told her not to force it and that it was best to let nature take its course.

"That's exactly what happened!" Brother Chen San said, "Mom, get ready quickly. We can bring two eggs over to say hello to my little sister!"

Chen Ersao quickly patted her husband and asked him to go with her.

Brother Chen said, "I'll go too."

Brother Chen also said he wanted to go together.

In the end, they were not brought along. Chen's mother came by herself, and third brother Chen came along begging for mercy. The two older brothers were not as shameless as him.
