The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 28 (Part 2)

"Working hours are regulated. How can you miss out on this if you miss out on other things?" Chen Rou said, "There's still a lot of money left at home. Just go ask Lao Yang. We should spend the money as needed. You'll have the ability to earn it back in the future, so don't worry about this."

Han Guobin was very touched. How many lifetimes of blessing must he have accumulated to be able to marry such a wife?

At night, Chen Rou saw what a man looked like when he was moved.

After breakfast the next day, Han Guobin went to find Lao Yang.

Laoyang Village is a bit far from here, so they didn't know about this. When they saw him coming, they said to him, "Why didn't you go to the slaughterhouse in the past two days? We are waiting for you. There are many people watching over that post, so hurry up."

That means Han Guobin, otherwise there is no way to change him.

"I won't go there anymore. I'm going to the city to learn how to drive starting tomorrow, and then I'll be a driver in the city," said Han Guobin.

The old sheep was stunned. "What's going on?"

"It's just the situation I described." Han Guobin said.

Lao Yang didn’t know what happened that night. Han Guobin kept his mouth shut and didn’t tell anyone.

Lao Yang didn't know the inside story, but he was also surprised and said, "My goodness, how did you get this job in the city? There are only one position for each person, and it's hard for a thief to get in."

"Good luck." Han Guobin said. He didn't say much else and turned to talk about the bicycle ticket and the watch ticket.

Lao Yang said, "I have a watch ticket here, but it's hard to get a bicycle ticket. But if you want it, I can use my connections to help you."

"Then give it to me first." Han Guobin nodded.

If you want to drive, you do need to check the time, so you really need a watch.

Lao Yang took it from him and collected the capital without asking for anything else. He said, "Come back later for the bicycle ticket. It will probably take ten days."

Han Guobin nodded and asked him to prepare more eggs so that he could come and take them back later. After saying this, he went into the city.

His wife gave him money, and he took three hundred yuan and thought that if everyone had tickets, they would come in and buy them together.

But there were no bicycle tickets, so he came in and bought a watch.

Han Guobin didn't buy an expensive one, just one that cost 85 yuan. Among the many watches displayed in the glass cabinet of the mall, this one was the cheapest.

But eighty-five yuan is really not cheap at all, and Han Guobin felt very distressed.

But when he put it on his wrist, Han Guobin couldn't describe the feeling he felt.

Only his wife would be willing to spend so much money on him.

When he got home, he gave the remaining money to his wife and showed her the watch. Chen Rou knew at first glance, "Why did you pick this one? I gave you so much money. This one is 85 yuan, the cheapest one. There is another one next to it, 125 yuan, which suits you very well." The 150 yuan one suits you better.

I gave him three hundred, fifteen for the bicycle, and the remaining one hundred and fifty was for buying him a watch. Just don't spend more than one hundred and fifty.

"How did you know that, wife?" Han Guobin was stunned for a moment.

"I saw it last time." Chen Rou said. She also knew that her husband Guobin wanted to save money, but he just bought it. Although it was just average, it was very practical after all.

Han Guobin knew that his wife had wanted to buy him a watch for a long time, otherwise why would she go to look at watches.

"Wife, when you make money, buy one too," said Han Guobin.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later." She didn't need to use a watch or check the time.

There are only two people in the village who have watches, one is the captain's family, and the other is Han Guolin.

That’s why they say that the old couple loves their youngest son so much. They give him bicycles, watches, and everything else.

However, the most important thing in life is to be open-minded. Now that we have separated, the most important thing is to live a good life at home and stop staring at others.

Han Guobin bought a watch, but he didn't show it to others and kept it to himself.

But starting from the next day, he began to go into the city to learn how to drive. He originally wanted to walk into the city, but the team leader was very supportive of Han Guobin.

Maybe when the village needs to apply for fertilizers in the future, Han Guobin’s help will be needed. After all, he is a good young man who has left the village, and we must support him.

Since we didn't have much use for our bicycle at home, we lent it to him, which made it much more convenient for him to travel to and from the county town.

Chen Rou was also grateful. She packed a packet of candy in a small bag and gave it to the captain's wife, Chen Aidi. "Aunt, don't push it away. We all know how much the captain cares about us. This is what I'm giving to my nephew and niece to make them happy."

"This...this is so embarrassing?" Chen Aidi said.

"Of course not. My Guobin has asked his colleague to inquire about bicycle tickets. His colleague said there will be news in a while. Then I will see if I can go back to my parents' home to borrow some money and buy one for Guobin first." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"There's no need for it. We don't use this car at home very often. Guobin can just come and use it." Chen Aidi said politely.

"It's only because the captain takes care of Guobin, otherwise how could he lend out such a valuable bicycle? If he borrows it temporarily, he must buy one himself." She couldn't take other people's politeness seriously, so Chen Rou said knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

After chatting for a while, she went back.

Chen Aidi went into the house and told her husband, "Guobin and his wife are living a very happy life now."

"Guobin will have to borrow it for a while until he buys it himself." said the captain who was sharpening the sickle.

"I know. Guobin's wife is really good at talking now." Chen Aidi said. She also understood what Chen Rou meant.

Before her family buys it, I'm afraid they will have to borrow it, but it doesn't matter, since they won't need it at home anyway.

But Guobin's wife said something that really helped her. A big item like a bicycle is a treasure even if it is not used. It has to be polished back and forth at home until it shines. Ordinary people can forget about borrowing it, let alone borrowing it for a while.

As for Han Guobin who is in the city now, he has already sat in the passenger seat and started to learn from his colleague named Li Dayuan.

Li Dayuan is a good teacher, and Han Guobin seems to be born with a knack for it. After watching it once, he can do it.

"You can do this? Have you learned it before?" Li Dayuan asked in surprise as he sat in the passenger seat and watched him operate.

"No, I just saw you driving it." Han Guobin said without looking away.

"Then you are born to be a driver." Li Dayuan said with a smile, and then asked him, "How did you bear to hand it over? I heard that there was almost a whole bag of bills. Of course, I would have handed it over too."

Han Guobin was very calm. "If so many bills are lost, the owner will be held accountable. Besides, they are not mine, so I am not greedy."

After hearing this, Li Dayuan felt that he was not as aware as others. If he picked up so many bills and no one saw them, it would be hard to say whether he would be willing to take them out.

Because people in the city are in need of these bills, and they can also be exchanged for money.

"Good brother, do a good job, you deserve this job!" Li Dayuan patted him on the shoulder and said.

Han Guobin learned to drive for seven days, and after seven days he had no problems at all. He could drive independently and was completely familiar with cars.

He even drove over to the Laoyang slaughterhouse for a tour. When Laoyang saw him driving this car, he was immediately excited, "Brother, I never thought you could really drive such a big car!"

"Do you have a bicycle ticket?" Han Guobin asked.

"The day after tomorrow, come over the day after tomorrow." The old sheep said, "Take the eggs back first?"

"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.

Lao Yang prepared four pounds of eggs, a full basket. Han Guobin gave him the money, then drove back to the unit, took the eggs and rode his bike home.

Chen Rou had already cooked the sweet potatoes, which were now in the pot. She was also looking at the sky to calculate the time for him to go home.

When he came back, Chen Rou couldn't bear to see him and said, "Go back tomorrow and buy me two kilograms of wool."

Han Guobin said, "I won't go out tomorrow. I'll buy it for you the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay." Chen Rou nodded, then looked at the small bamboo basket in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"I asked Lao Yang to help buy the eggs." Han Guobin gave them to her.

Chen Rou opened the lid and saw that it was full, which made her very happy.

"We have eaten a lot of eggs at home. You brought back so many, so we won't have to worry about food this year." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Han Guobin was happy to see her happy.

Chen Rou put the eggs away, went to get the basket, then came over to get the sweet potatoes from the pot and went back to the kang to eat.

"Then you got the car ready so quickly?" Chen Rou asked, eating sweet potatoes with a stewed fish brought by Brother Han.
