The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 28 (Part 4)

The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 28 (Part 4)

Speaking of money, Han's mother is still thinking about her second son. "The second son is getting more and more unreasonable now. How can he still care about us old couple? He earns so much money every month, but he doesn't give us a penny!"

If her youngest son and daughter-in-law didn't both have jobs, she would have wanted to go to her second son's workplace and sue him for being unfilial!

"Now that we have separated, don't worry about it." Han's father smoked opium and said, "He still owes a lot of money to the company. He has to work for free for a year to buy a bicycle."

"How can such a large monthly salary be spent in a year?" said Han's mother.

"Then you have to eat. I heard from Guoli that they have to pay and use tickets to eat in the cafeteria." said Han's father.

Mr. Han is right about this.

Han Guobin and his colleague Li Dayuan came here to get lunch. They asked for both the ticket and the money. The ticket was an advance given to him by the company, and the corresponding part would be deducted next month.

Obviously Han Guobin felt a little distressed. Although it was delicious, it was really not cheap.

"What's wrong?" Li Dayuan asked.

"It's really expensive." Han Guobin did not hide it and told the truth.

Li Dayuan said, "You will get used to it slowly."

"My monthly salary is 34 yuan. If we eat like this, we will spend 10 yuan a month," said Han Guobin.

"If you want to eat at home when you return to the county town, it will cost about ten yuan. Otherwise, it will cost about fifteen yuan a month. But we still have a five-yuan food allowance." Li Dayuan said. He also understood what Han Guobin meant. He also thought it was too expensive at the beginning, but now he is used to it.

"Is there a food allowance?" Han Guobin looked at him.

"Yes, five dollars." Li Dayuan nodded.

This made Han Guobin feel a lot more comfortable. If you calculate it this way, he would have 39 yuan a month. Excluding the 10 yuan for food, he could still take home about 29 yuan.

Han Guobin didn't say anything. After eating, he drove back with his colleagues.

The two people took turns driving a car and took turns resting.

While Han Guobin was returning, Chen Rou was knitting a scarf. The sky was still gray at the moment, so she could knit for a while longer. She had already knitted a long section, but it was not finished yet.

This was knitted for her husband Guobin.

When he comes back home or to the county town, it is best to wrap a scarf around his face in such cold weather, otherwise his face turns blue every time he goes home.

I started knitting after I bought the wool from Han Guobin. Because Han Hang's little boy was around, I couldn't knit so fast. He is well behaved, but he still needs someone to coax him.

When it got dark, Chen Rou didn't turn on the light. She folded her scarf and prepared to go to bed.

Go to bed early and get up early, and it will be the same if you get up early tomorrow morning to knit.

Han Guobin and Li Dayuan arrived at the county town at midnight.

"Go to the dormitory to stay for one night? There are quilts there." Li Dayuan asked.

"No, I'm going home." Han Guobin said.

Li Dayuan smiled and said, "The child is already so big, but it feels like you and your wife are still just married."

He is about the same age as Han Guobin, but he got married early and has two children. He has a good relationship with his wife, but not to this extent.

Han Guobin rode his bicycle back to the village. Although he had a hat on, the north wind was very strong.

By the time we got home, it was already late at night.

Chen Rou was woken up by his call. She opened the door for him without even lighting the kerosene lamp, and then closed the door tightly before lighting the kerosene lamp.

Then I saw the pale face of this stupid guy.

Chen Rou almost cursed, but in the end she said nothing. She didn't mind the trouble and went to the kitchen to boil water. She boiled some water for him to soak his feet and also made a big bowl of ginger soup for him to drink.

"Why are you back so late? Aren't there dormitories in the city where you can stay temporarily?" Chen Rou glared at him when she saw that his face looked better.

"I'm riding a bike, it's not that cold." Han Guobin grinned as he drank the ginger soup, not even liking the spiciness.

Chen Rou glared at him and said, "If you do this again next time, I'll ignore you!" Relying on his youth, he didn't take his body seriously at all!

Seeing that she was really angry, Han Guobin naturally lowered his head and said he didn't dare to do it anymore.

Chen Rou was still a little worried, so she let him soak his feet. She also went to make a cup of cold medicine for him to drink, and that was it.

When Han Guobin came back, he had a belly full of hot soup, and his heart felt warm.

After soaking his feet, Chen Rou touched his back, wiped him with a hot towel, and sent him to bed.

Chen Rou put the water aside and went to sleep on the kang.

As soon as I got into bed, the thief came on top of me.

It was snowing hard outside, but inside the house it was full of spring.

The next morning, Chen Rou got up early, cooked sweet potato porridge and brought out the stewed frozen fish, without even frying them in the pot.

The stewed fish soup has now become jelly-like, but it is very delicious. The fish meat can also be stuffed into porridge without changing the taste.

Chen Rou woke Han Guobin up and said, "Eat before sleeping."

Han Guobin was indeed hungry, so he brushed his teeth and had a hearty breakfast before going back to bed.

Chen Rou did not disturb him. She fed little Han Hang breakfast and let him play on the kang while she was busy knitting a scarf.

Last night he paid his grain tax and said he would go back to the county town at one o'clock, so he had to set off for the provincial capital.

The scarf has to be knitted for him.

By nine o'clock, Chen Rou had finished knitting the scarf. At this time, Han Guobin, who had just had a comfortable nap, was already playing with his son on the kang.

"Come and take a look." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin was wrapped in a scarf by his wife, and only then did he realize that his wife had knitted it for him.

Chen Rou pulled the scarf over his face and was quite satisfied. She said, "Just cover it like this when you go back and forth. It will be almost the same if you put on a hat."

"Wife." Han Guobin was so touched. His wife really thought of him in everything.

"If it's late in the future, don't come back and sleep in the dormitory of your unit. Otherwise, I won't let you in next time." Chen Rou snorted.

Don't think that she won't teach him a lesson just because you move her.

Han Guobin didn't say anything, he just held his wife in his arms. Chen Rou let him hold her for a while, then he went to stew some mutton and radish soup and steamed buns.

She made steamed buns for him the day before yesterday as soon as he went out. If you want to eat them, just steam them. They are corn and multi-grain steamed buns.

"Eat more mutton to warm your body." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin ate radish and drank soup with corn and multi-grain steamed buns. He didn't eat much mutton and saved it for his wife.

Only when Chen Rou brought it to his mouth did he eat it, but he stopped after eating a few pieces.

Seeing that he had eaten a lot of radish and soup, Chen Rou ignored him.

"What time do we leave?" Chen Rou asked.

"We have to go there at half past ten," said Han Guobin.

"Then what time are you going to the provincial capital?" Chen Rou asked.

"We'll set off at one o'clock." Han Guobin explained truthfully.

"We have to set off at one o'clock. Will there be food in the provincial capital?" Chen Rou asked.

"Yes." Han Guobin nodded, and couldn't help but sighed, "But it's not cheap."

"Even if it's not cheap, you have to eat enough. Don't save that little bit. There is still a long way to go." Chen Rou said, looking at the time, and said, "It's almost time. You should go back quickly."

Han Guobin saw that it was already 10:15, but he did not leave immediately. He insisted on staying with his wife until 10:30 before being sent away by his wife.

Riding his bicycle to the county town, Li Dayuan, who was washing his lunch box, saw that he was still wearing a scarf and smiled, "Sister-in-law is really worried that you will be cold."

"It was knitted specially for me." said Han Guobin.

Li Dayuan didn't understand what he was saying, so he praised him and said, "You are so lucky to have such a wife."

Han Guobin was satisfied.

"Have you eaten? Hurry up and eat. It will be gone if you're late." Li Dayuan said.

"I ate it." Han Guobin said.

At one o'clock, they drove out on time, and there was another car with them, a total of two cars, loaded with things to the provincial capital.

Once they get to the destination, the rest is not their job, they just have to eat.

Working hours start at one o'clock in the afternoon and return to the county town at eleven or twelve o'clock at night. It is winter, so the car drives slowly. If it were summer, it would be earlier.

After the meal, the goods were unloaded and they drove back.

It's just a day trip, so it's not too tiring, but driving for such a long time is not easy either.

However, with this salary per month, it is definitely an excellent job. Even ordinary city dwellers may not be able to get this position, and the requirements are not low.

Han Guobin has been doing this for the past two days, and he really wants to continue doing this. If things become stable in the future, it would be nice to move his wife to the city.
