The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 30 (Part 3)

"He knows how to protect his mother at such a young age. He will definitely be a filial son when he grows up." Sister Chen smiled.

"When I grow up, I will learn from his two brothers." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"You'll be in trouble if you learn from them. They're well fed on a normal day, but look at them, they're so skinny. They climb trees to rob bird nests and poke snake holes in ditches. They do all the work. But after you clean them up and not see them for a while, they're back to their original form." said Chen Sijie.

When it comes to the topic of children, we can talk about it for three days and three nights.

After An Dabang entered the house, he, Han Guobin and Chen's father talked about last year's harvest.

In fact, the harvests in the past few years have been pretty good. Father Chen said to Han Guobin, "If we distribute grain per capita next year, I'm afraid the villagers will have a lot of complaints."

The rule for distributing grain in their area is that 70% of the labor is done by each person.

"70% of the grain is distributed to people, and 30% is distributed to labor points", which means that as long as one is a villager, he or she will get 10% of the grain even if he or she does not work.

But if that's the case, there will be no money to share, and you may even have to add more money.

But because of the principle of equal distribution, the villagers will also have objections. Isn't this asking the whole village to support it?

Take Song Xiaoyu for example, her household registration had not been moved here yet, so she did not get any food, not even basic rations.

As for changing your household registration, it is not difficult to move it to the countryside, but it is not easy to move it to the city.

So I'm still hesitating.

But Han Guobin is different. Although he works in the city, his household registration is in the village, so the grain is distributed according to each person.

Even if you don't work you still get points, so naturally the villagers will be dissatisfied.

An Dabang lives far away from Chen Sijie. The last time Chen Sijie came to deliver eggs to him, she hasn't come since. They haven't heard from each other, so he doesn't know that Han Guobin has gone to the city to work.

After hearing what Chen's father said, the couple was a little confused: "What's going on? Divide the food per person?"

"You don't know yet, Guobin has joined the Transportation Department in the city. He is considered an official driver of the Transportation Department and will not go to work in the future." Chen's mother also said: "But if he does not work but only gets the head salary, the villagers will indeed be dissatisfied."

In other words, the son-in-law earns his own money but eats from the villagers, so some people will definitely not be happy about that.

"What?" Chen Sijie was stunned. She looked at Han Guobin and said, "Guobin, you went to work in the city? When did it happen?"

"It's been about a month and a half now," said Han Guobin.

"Why haven't I heard you say that?" said Chen Sijie.

"No one in our village who married into your community has come back. I just wanted you to come back and spend the New Year together, so I don't have to make a trip." said Chen's mother.

"It's the same even if you know it now." Chen Rou said with a smile.

An Dabang understood, and looking at his brother-in-law Han Guobin, he said, "Now that you have this job, if you want to share the grain, the villagers will probably have to give Auntie a hard time."

There was a man in their village who went to the city to work as a worker. His wife and children were looked down upon. After all, there was no strong labor force in the family and he took away so much food. The children were bullied in the village.

"The village is short of fertilizers. I will go there this year to help use some connections to see if the problem can be solved," Han Guobin also said.

"You even have a way to get fertilizer?" Sister Chen Si asked in surprise.

"It's not easy, and it's not certain yet." Han Guobin shook his head.

Chen Sijie knew it was not going to be easy, so she said, "It took our team a long time to get the approval, but it's true, one mu of land has increased grain production by nearly 70 kilograms. I heard that some have increased production by more than 100 kilograms. If we can get fertilizer, we will be great contributors. If you want to distribute grain per person, no one in the village will dare to say anything!"

An Dabang also nodded, fertilizer is indeed a breakthrough.

Sister Chen didn't ask in front of Han Guobin, but when they came to the room privately, Sister Chen asked her sister curiously, "Isn't the monthly salary low?"

"Thirty-four dollars." Chen Rou said.

Fourth Sister Chen's eyes widened, and she lowered her voice and said, "Thirty-four dollars? Why is it so high?"

Chen Rou smiled, but actually she hadn't mentioned subsidies and bonuses yet.

"How much is the meal?" Chen Sijie asked again. She was not stupid enough to take back whatever her brother-in-law earned. Why would she eat air? In the city, even an onion costs money.

"After spending on food, I can save about twenty yuan a month," said Chen Rou.

But twenty yuan is a lot of money. Sister Chen looked at her mother, and it seemed as if her mother already knew about it and didn't react.

Chen's mother naturally knew about it a long time ago, and warned her, "Your sister only told you this because she believes you. Don't tell anyone else. Her in-laws are worried about it."

"You definitely can't tell anyone about that." Fourth Sister Chen was amazed. She felt that her sister had really married into a lucky family. Her brother-in-law was so promising. Wouldn't her life be prosperous in the future?

"You are much happier now than if you married into the city. If you married into the city, your life would not necessarily be as good as it is now. I can't help but envy your good fortune. You should be more careful in the future." Sister Chen Si said.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "I know, I didn't think it through before, but you don't have to remind me now."

"Let Guobin use his connections to see if he can transfer your entire family's household registration to the city. Then, everyone in the family will live in the city and can eat commercial grain." said Chen Sijie.

"We have no idea how long we can work with commercial grains, so it's better to stay in the countryside and have peace of mind," said Chen Rou.

There will be no restrictions in the future, and you can go wherever you want. But now it is still a long time away from the future, so it is safer to stay in the village.

"I wonder how long he can work for?" Sister Chen was slightly stunned: "The position has been given to him, he has to work until he retires. When he retires, my nephew can take over!"

"It's not that cheap. We don't know what will happen in the future. Let's just do it now and see if we can make some money from our small adobe house to build a brick house." Chen Rou said.

"When the children grow up, it will be a bit too crowded to have another one." Fourth Sister Chen nodded.

"If you're short of something, just go home and get some," said Chen's mother.

"Then I will return every penny to you in the future." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Fourth Sister Chen said, "I haven't divided the family yet, but I really want to do so."

"Birds grow into nests, trees grow into branches, so we'll split them when we get a chance. When you need an iron pot, just let me know and I'll ask Guobin to exchange it for industrial coupons and buy you one." Chen Rou said.

"Okay." Sister Chen nodded with a smile.

Seeing her two daughters like this, Chen's mother asked, "Should I divide the family property between your brother and sister-in-law?"

Looking at the two daughters like this, it is obvious that after they became daughters-in-law to other people, they wanted to divide the family property.

Today, the three sons and daughters-in-law all went back to their parents' homes and were not at home. However, Chen's mother was not stingy and gave each of them four eggs. Of course, there was also food rations for the family visiting relatives, and the rations would be brought back, but four eggs were still a nice touch.

The Chen Rou sisters looked at each other and immediately laughed dryly.

"Mom, you can handle it yourself. Why are you asking us this?" Chen Sijie said with a smile.

"Wait another two years. When your third brother and sister-in-law's children grow up, give it to them." said Chen's mother.

Now, Brother Chen and his wife have three children: an eldest daughter and two sons, Brother Chen and his wife have a son and a daughter, and Brother Chen and his wife also have a son and a daughter.

But Brother Chen San and Sister-in-law's children are still young, and they can't help if they are divided up. Let's wait for two years and then divide them fairly so that they can live their own lives.

After having lunch at her parents' home, the two sisters returned home with their respective husbands.

Chen Rou also did not forget to tell her fourth sister to come over to their house if she had time. She also told her two nephews that there was malted milk at home and that she could make a bowl of it for them if they came. This made the two nephews very greedy.

When he got home, little Han Hang was tired. He had taken a nap at his grandfather's house and now he felt sleepy again, so he was sent to sleep on the kang.

Han Guobin went to the old house to take a look and saw that Han Guoli and Zhang Jiang had not left yet, and they were there with their son Zhang Haohao.

He led them here.

Han Guoli Zhangjiang was waiting for them, otherwise they would have to go back.

Chen Rou was preparing to cook on the stove, and Han Guoli hurriedly said, "Second sister-in-law, we have already eaten in the old house, you don't have to worry."

"I know, it's not about cooking." Chen Rou said, "You go into the house."

Han Guobin invited the whole family to go into the house first.

Chen Rou came in after a while and naturally greeted Zhang Jiang and Han Guoli.

The family stayed for half an hour, and then they had to hurry back to the city. Chen Rou packed some snacks from home and asked Han Guoli to take them back: "They are not for you, but for my nephew."

Then he went to the kitchen and scooped three bowls of brown sugar ginger soup, saying, "It's very cold today. I'm afraid it will be cold on the way back. Drink this to warm yourself up before you go."
