The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 29 (Part 2)

Her second brother paid for her schooling. Now that she is married and has children, not only can she not help her second brother, but she also needs her second brother to continue to help her. Why is she so useless?

Han Guobin bought some candies and snacks and went home.

He did not hide the fact that he gave Han Guoli a few tickets, and Chen Rou did not say anything either, because Han Guobin also took a lot of tickets home.

Obviously he was helping his sister, but he also had his own ideas.

Chen Rou was not too picky about this. As long as it did not cross the line, she would not interfere too much with what this man wanted to do.

The way for a couple to get along is not to control everything in their own hands. He is a man, he has his own temperament and way of dealing with people, and she has to give him his own space.

"The expenses are a bit high, and this is all I have left from my salary." Han Guobin took out the money and said.

Chen Rou counted it and it was more than twenty-seven yuan. Apart from the food and other things, she must have spent money on candy and snacks. However, those were not practical and she didn't like to eat them.

The snacks in the space would taste better.

"Next time, give all these tickets to Third Aunt and don't spend this money." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin was helpless, and Chen Rou looked at him seriously, "I'm serious." It's a waste of money, it's better to keep it for building a house.

"Okay, I'll save it for Guoli next time," said Han Guobin.

"Bring back one or two." Chen Rou thought about it. She couldn't use them, but she could take them back to her parents' home to see if they could use them, and also to her uncle's.

Han Guobin accepted the offer.

It's a rare day that Han Guobin doesn't have to go to work today. He has a day off in the transportation department, three days a month.

We take a break about every nine days.

Although Han Guobin didn't have to go to work, he didn't stay idle at home. After lunch at noon, he carried a wooden bucket and a hoe and went into the mountains. He didn't return home until five o'clock. The harvest was pretty good, and he caught a few fish.

"Wife, please cook first. I'll send one to my parents." Han Guobin said.

"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.

Han Guobin rode his bicycle to deliver a big grass carp weighing about four pounds to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Rest today?" Chen's mother asked happily.

Han Guobin nodded.

"Have you eaten?" asked Chen's mother.

Han Guobin said, "My family is doing it. I'll go back first."

"Okay." Chen's mother let him go back.

Apart from giving one to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and taking one to the old house, the rest were kept for their own consumption.

Chen Rou killed the fish and stewed them in a pot. The big pot of stewed miscellaneous fish was very fragrant, and there were corn tortillas on the side, which tasted good too.

You can't finish eating a few big fish stewed in one pot, so you can just put the remaining ones aside and save them for tomorrow's meal.

"Wife, let's have another one." The food was good, and the thief in the house became less obedient and wanted to take his wife away.

I just don't want to wear something that restricts me.

Chen Rou refused and said, "Let's talk about it next year." She had already calculated that she would give birth in the spring of the following year, and would be able to get pregnant in the summer of next year.

You have to avoid it at other times.

Han Guobin was extremely helpless.

In a blink of an eye, half of the twelfth lunar month has passed. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the village is very busy and pigs are slaughtered early in the morning.

Han Guobin was not at home, so Chen Rou wrapped up little Han Hang tightly and held him in her arms, then brought a bucket over to share the meat.

"Give it to me, give it to me." Zhou Zhen looked at it and said, she took little Han Hang and said, "It's so cold, why did you bring him out?"

Chen Rou said helplessly, "He got up so early in the morning. If you leave him alone in the room, he will howl until his voice is hoarse."

The little brat is also clingy. If she is in the room, he can play by himself without her coaxing, but if he is alone in the room, he will be unhappy.

"We will separate in the early spring of next year." Zhou Zhen said in a low voice.

"Really?" Chen Rou looked at her in surprise and said, "I'll come over and sit with you later."

"Okay." Zhou Zhen was obviously in a very good mood.

It is now snowy and icy, and it is really cold outside.

When it was Chen Rou's turn, she ordered a piece of fat, a few ribs, a large bone and a fan bone, a piece of pork belly, and a piece of pig's blood.

Except for the fat and pork belly, the rest are worthless. They cost a lot, but no one said anything because the couple's work points this year are there.

After dividing the meat, he took the little Han Hang from Zhou Zhen, and looked at Han's mother who was standing in the back while carrying the things in the bucket, and said with a smile, "Mom, we will go back first."

Han's mother rolled her eyes and ignored her.

Han Guolin quickly said, "Second sister-in-law, slow down."

Chen Rou nodded and took her son home. She was in no hurry to deal with the meat. She put it in the kitchen and took her son back to the house. Seeing that the boy was not afraid of the cold and looked quite happy, she smiled and said, "You are tough. Go to bed quickly. Your mother is still busy."

Han Hang was wearing warm clothes, including a small sweater, which was a bit big, but he was allowed to wear it anyway.

The energetic brat refused to sleep and forced his mother to play with him for more than an hour. Then he ate his meal, peed, and went to sleep.

Chen Rou covered him with a quilt and went out to work.

Chopping meat and boiling oil were all old routines, but before boiling the oil, she boiled a lot of eggs, then scooped out the hot water to wash her face, and then started boiling the oil.

A lot of oil was boiled, and Chen Rou also saved a can when the meat was distributed after the autumn harvest. She has developed a habit of it, and today she saved a lot, intending to keep it for next year.

A lot of the meat in her space had been consumed, and the rest had to be used to feed her second baby, so she had to eat it slowly.

After boiling the oil, Chen Rou started to chop the ribs. She had soaked the mushrooms she had dried last night and now she took them out and put them into the pot with the ribs to stew. She also peeled seven or eight boiled eggs and put them in the pot.

I ordered four large ribs and all of them are here. The large bones and fan bones that have been shaved until there is no meat left are kept for stewing with radish and kelp.

Zhou Zhen came over and said, "Your mother-in-law almost had a quarrel with your sister-in-law just now."

"What are you arguing about?" Chen Rou hadn't spoken to Mrs. Han for a while.

Just now, Mrs. Han was among the few people in line behind her, but she pretended not to see her and just said hello to Han's mother.

Han's mother is her mother-in-law, and she cannot turn a blind eye to it. Even if they have a falling out, she has to act like a daughter-in-law in public, no matter whether Han's mother accepts it or not.

But Han Dasao is just a sister-in-law. Ever since her husband Guobin went to work, Han Dasao has been so jealous that people in the surrounding area can smell her.

Chen Rou didn't spoil her and ignored her.

"Your sister-in-law asked for the last piece of pig blood. Your mother-in-law wanted to eat it, so you asked her to give it to you. She said you didn't even give it to her, so why are you asking her for it?" Zhou Zhen said.

Chen Rou looked indifferent after hearing this.

"Your mother-in-law started scolding her, but your eldest brother arrived in time and took her back, so there was no quarrel." Zhou Zhen said.

Although Zhou Zhen didn't say it, Chen Rou knew that Han's mother must have taken her in when she scolded Han's sister-in-law.

You know, Han's mother was thinking about her second son's salary, but the salary had already been paid, and she really didn't see a penny. Although she didn't get any money, how could she be happy?

However, Chen Rou was also concerned and asked Zhou Zhen, "Why did Aunt Ma agree to split up the family?"

The population of the neighboring Ma family is actually not complicated. Zhou Zhen’s eldest son is the oldest, followed by three sisters-in-law, and the youngest is the brother-in-law.

My second aunt got married a long time ago. My third and fourth aunts are twins, but they also got married this year.

However, these two twin sisters-in-law are really not easy to deal with. Chen Rou has seen this before. But they were both married this year and the market is still very good. Because they are twins, their in-laws also hope that after she marries into their in-laws' family, she will also give birth to twins to increase their blessings.

Now, only Grandpa Ma and Aunt Ma are left in the old Ma family, as well as Ma Dafa, Zhou Zhen, their two children, and their brother-in-law Ma Xiaofa.

Compared to before the two twin sisters got married, the population is much simpler now.

"My uncle will be 19 next year and can get married. I guess the old couple wants to make room for my uncle, so they are willing to let us divide it." Zhou Zhen snorted.

"You didn't get any work points this year. Was it all intentional?" Chen Rou laughed softly.

This year Zhou Zhen didn't work hard at all. She just muddled through her work in the past. It was the same during the autumn harvest. Now she felt uncomfortable here and there, and Aunt Ma was really mad at her.

"I work so hard but there's not much to eat. I must be stupid to work so hard." Zhou Zhen said.

She really didn't have any big demands, she just wanted to separate from the family and live on her own. The old couple wanted to give all the good things to her brother-in-law. Just now, after dividing the meat, her brother-in-law took a piece and gave it to his girlfriend!
