The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 31 (Part 4)

Chen Rou smiled. She had been very sleepy since she became pregnant and her brain was sometimes a little slow. Before going out, she thought about telling her mother when she came over, but when she came over, she forgot about it and was only concerned about asking her son to be obedient and have fun at his grandmother's house.

"We have some eggs saved at home, you can take some back." Chen's mother wanted to go into the house to get some eggs.

"Mom, no need. Guobin came back yesterday and brought me a basket and a piece of meat." Chen Rou said.

"Guobin loves you." Mother Chen smiled and said, "Don't do heavy work. Rest when you are tired. Pay more attention in the first three months."

"I know." Chen Rou nodded.

Chen Rou didn't earn many work points, only three or four points a day, but since she became pregnant, she stopped doing heavy work.

The captain's wife, Chen Aidi, also knew that she was pregnant again, and said with a smile, "Your life is going well now. You got married the year before last, and this year you are pregnant with your second child. You are two now. Try to have another big fat boy to keep Hanghang company."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "I'm actually looking forward to having a daughter."

But her mother said that her butt looked like her, so she would give birth to a son, like her fourth sister, whose twins were all sons.

In fact, neither the Chen family nor the Han family has the tradition of favoring boys over girls. Even Han's mother-in-law actually loves her daughter Han Guoli.

After all, her daughter has made great progress, married into the city, become a city dweller, and eats commercial grain, which makes her proud. Of course, she still loves Han Guolin more.

But compared with her son Han Guobin, Han Guoli is treated much better.

Not to mention Old Chen's family.

Chen's father and mother were very good to their two daughters, and the dowries given to their daughters when they got married would never be looked down upon by their in-laws.

If a daughter was born, it would definitely be rare, but both families seem to have given birth to more sons.

Mrs. Han has two sons. Song Xiaoyu is just like her, she also gave birth to a son.

However, now that she has a son, Chen Rou is also looking forward to having a warm and cozy little girl, so she feels that it is enough.

Although she was pregnant, Chen Rou was not pretentious. She started to pull grass for pigs to earn work points. Pulling grass for pigs could earn her two work points at most, but Chen Rou didn't think it was too little. However, some people in the village still said she was precious.

After all, some pregnant women in the village have to fetch water. Women can hold up half the sky!

Why is it that Guobin’s wife can’t do any heavy work after she gets pregnant?

The people who said this were the ones who had the argument with Second Aunt Han and Third Aunt Han earlier. They were just jealous of the fact that Han Guobin was able to get both a salary and basic food rations.

There's nothing you can do, you just say these things to annoy people.

But Chen Rou never took it seriously, unless it was brought up in front of her, she would directly silence the person, but usually she was too lazy to pay attention.

The more these grasshoppers were fed, the happier they jumped.

Chen Rou also participated in the summer harvest which began in late June.

Helping to harvest wheat and grain is tiring, but the work points are not low, so naturally I can earn some.

Han Guobin still has to go to work as usual, but this man is not one who slacks off at all.

He got home at twelve o'clock in the evening, went to sleep, and then got up after a few hours of sleep, and then went to work with his wife.

He asked his wife to do less work and he helped to quickly harvest a lot of the wheat that his wife was supposed to harvest.

He doesn't count the work points, just count them for his wife.

Moreover, he didn't work for long. He came to the fields to work from six o'clock to ten o'clock, and then he had to ride his bike to the county town, which only took him about three hours.

But even though it took more than three hours, this guy's work speed is impeccable.

All the work he did was counted as his wife's, so even if Chen Rou worked slowly, she could still get full work points in a day.

Chen Rou felt sorry for him and told him not to go, but he said he could take turns driving with his colleague so that some could sleep and she wouldn't have to worry.

Those jealous people in the village have been complaining a lot about this.

But they soon shut up because the land that was fertilized with chemical fertilizers this year produced almost 90 kilograms of wheat per acre compared to the land that was not fertilized with chemical fertilizers!

One acre of land can produce 90 kilograms of wheat. A lot of fertilizers were applied for this time. Of course, it is impossible to use them on all the land, but the amount of fertilizers applied for by Han Guobin is not small.

After Han Guolin calculated, this year's summer wheat harvest would be nearly 1,000 kilograms higher than last year.

This grain production has silenced those who have been saying bad things behind the scenes.

It was nearly a thousand kilograms of wheat more, which was a fine grain, while the grain distributed was coarse grain. Compared with the nearly a thousand kilograms of wheat he had fought for with the villagers, the per capita rations allocated to him were really nothing.

So those who are sour are silenced.

Second Aunt Han and Third Aunt Han were unwilling to miss such an opportunity. They had originally wanted to promote their nephew, but since Han Guobin had been to both of their homes, they did not bother about it.

But I feel relieved in my heart, as this is also a slap in the face.

On the day of grain distribution, Han Guobin had to go to work and did not have a day off.

"Guoming, you should transport Uncle Guobin's grain back first." The person who spoke was the daughter-in-law of Aunt Han's maiden family, and also Chen Rou's cousin.

We live quite far away from each other, so we don't interact much on weekdays. At most, we say hello to each other when we see each other. We only started to interact with each other after I bought a pot last time.

The one who bought the pot and sent eggs to Korean Air was this cousin, Cai Lihua.

Her cousin Han Guoming used a trailer to help her transport the food back home.

As soon as Chen Rou got home, she made him a bowl of sugar water and asked him to drink it before going back to transport her own food.

There is not much grain to distribute during this summer harvest, and the main purpose is to avoid going hungry and to be able to survive until the autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest is the real big harvest.

After the summer harvest, Korean Air's little one will be one year old.

On his birthday, Chen Rou made him an egg custard to celebrate. The one-year-old little guy could already walk quite well and could say one or two words, but he really understood everything human said.

He understands whatever people say.

After the summer harvest, the crops are planted again. This is the rare idle time in summer.

Chen Rou and Han Guobin got married around the same time.

There were also weddings in the village, for example, Zhou Zhen’s brother-in-law Ma Xiaofa got married.

After all, the neighbors were there, so Chen Rou and Zhou Zhen came over to help, and Zhou Zhen was very angry.

Her husband Ma Dafa is the eldest son and the oldest. She married into the family early, and the conditions at that time were definitely not good. They cannot be compared with now.

But Ma Xiaofa is really capable when it comes to getting married.

It's not as good as marrying Han Guolin, who had a bicycle and other things, but Ma Xiaofa's marriage is also very good.

Chen Rou did not go into the new house. It was Zhou Zhen who came over after finishing her work and talked to Chen Rou.

"The new thermos, new cabinet, washbasin and enamel cup, as well as the quilt and the clothes they are wearing, were all newly made with cloth coupons!" said Zhou Zhen.

It is true that times have changed, but when she got married, she really had nothing. In the winter of that year, her quilt was stuffed with straw!

Chen Rou could only persuade her: "Now that the marriage is over, you two won't have to worry about your life with the child. Brother Dafa works very hard."

Zhou Zhen said: "If we don't fight for bread, we will fight for our dignity. Our life will definitely not be worse than here in the future!" As for her brother-in-law's lack of energy in working, she just had to watch and live her life!

"That's right to think so." Chen Rou nodded.

When you encounter unfair treatment, don’t complain about it. Calm down and think about the future. Live your life better than the other person. That is the best response.

Since she had some free time, Sister Chen Si brought her two sons to visit.

"Oh, where did these two charcoal guys come from? I wouldn't be able to find them if they were placed in the coal." Chen Rou said with a smile.

An Wen and An Wu immediately grinned: "Aunt, don't lie to us, we are not that dark."

"Where have you been? Why are you so tanned?" Chen Rou said as she invited them into the yard.

"We didn't pick them up. We picked up a lot of wheat ears this year!" the two brothers said. When they entered the yard, they stared at the big white goose at home with shining eyes and said, "Aunt, is it like the big white goose at grandpa's house? It will peck people?"

"But if you go over and tease it, it won't bother you." Chen Rou said with a smile.
