The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 31 (Part 2)

"We country people live by the mountains and the water. We can go up the mountain to dig these mushrooms as long as it rains. They are not very expensive, but you don't know that these mushrooms are very rare to city people." said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou immediately shook her head: "Sister-in-law, please stop it. That's speculation. My Guobin has a decent job and he wouldn't do such a thing."

She is not crazy because of poverty. Even if she really has some tricks, there are so many trustworthy people in her family. Why would she look for a big mouth like Mrs. Han?

The matter concerning Song Xiaoyu has now spread all over the village and everyone knows it. It's all thanks to Mrs. Han.

Song Xiaoyu has a knife behind her back at this moment.

Chen Rou has always adhered to the principle that family disgrace should not be made public. She can do whatever she wants behind closed doors, but she cannot do that once the door is open.

With such a commotion at home, no matter how happy or unhappy you are, what will outsiders think?

That time the quarrel cost fifty dollars. The old couple had really gone too far, so she had to make a scene to let the old man in the house know what was happening.

Has she made a scene at other times?

As the daughter-in-law of the Han family, Chen Rou doesn't like Mrs. Han's mouth.

If she occasionally lets something slip, wouldn't her Guobin be affected?

There is no room for discussion on this matter.

Mrs. Han really didn't know that her sister-in-law looked at her like this because of her big mouth, but she really wanted to convince Chen Rou.

"It's just to ask Second Uncle to send some delicacies into the city to exchange for food or something with his colleagues. It's not a big deal. Why are you so scared?" said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou said: "If they are caught speculating and profiteering, they will be locked up. My family relies on Guobin as the pillar, and I won't take any risks."

Mrs. Han cursed her in her heart for being a coward, but it was such a pity. She had originally wanted to get some benefits from it, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to refuse.

It's not that Chen Rou doesn't want to do it, but she has already changed her mind. It is very convenient for her husband Guobin to do this now, and there is no shortage of mushrooms in the countryside.

Could she ask her husband Guobin, if someone from the city wanted it, then she could ask her parents to pick it?

Compared to Mrs. Han, she felt more at ease with her parents' side.

Chen Rou finished her work very efficiently, then left work early and went home to cook.

At noon, she fried a large plate of Chinese cabbage with chopped garlic using lard. Not much lard was used, but it was obviously still oily.

And an egg drop soup.

She had already kneaded the dough before going out in the morning. She took it out of the house, kneaded it and let it knead for a while before putting it in the pot to steam.

Han Guobin came back at twelve o'clock.

Chen Rou invited him to eat.

Corn flour steamed buns with a large plate of garlic-chopped Chinese cabbage and egg drop soup are our lunch.

The food at home is not bad at all, there is still some oil in it, but it can't be compared with what Han Guobin eats in the cafeteria outside.

But this man never complained and was always satisfied with the food. After all, his wife was a good cook and could make stir-fried cabbage very fragrant.

"I've worked all day and I'm tired. Let's take a rest after eating." Chen Rou looked at him and said.

Han Guobin smiled and said, "If our son goes to live with his grandmother, will he be able to get used to it?"

"It's a habit. Last time he went there, he played like a black cat." Chen Rou said with a smile. It was just that every time she went there to pick someone up, he would feel aggrieved. He obviously wanted her to coax him, and she would, so the little guy wouldn't make trouble.

Han Guobin went to sleep after eating, after all, he was really tired.

After Chen Rou washed up, she slept with him. When the whistle sounded, the couple went out together.

He didn't come back until the evening. Chen Rou cooked some millet porridge and ate it. Han Guobin went to pick up his son after work.

He missed his son because he hadn't seen him for the whole day.

The father and son returned home, and Chen Rou had prepared dinner. They ate millet porridge with a small plate of fried goose eggs.

Han Hang's child can already eat these. Chen Rou cooked them thoroughly, so they are not difficult to digest. Besides, children nowadays are not so delicate. Chen Rou feels pain, but she doesn't spoil them too much and tell them not to eat this or that.

Little Han Hang was held in his mother's arms. He expressed his grievance at first, but when his mother kissed and hugged him, he began to look at the food on the table, obviously wanting to eat.

The family of three gathered together to have dinner.

After eating, Han Guobin went to wash the dishes, while Chen Rou started talking to her son.

After not seeing him for a day, little Hanhang had a lot to say. He kept talking to his mother, as if he was talking about what he ate and played at his grandmother's house.

After a while, he felt sleepy, so he asked his mother to pee in him and then fell asleep.

Chen Rou went to boil water for her bath. After working all day, she always had to take a bath before going to bed.

Han Guobin asked her to rest while he went to boil some water, and then brought it to her room for her to wash.

Chen Rou smiled, but was also happy to let her man be busy.

She understood him, but he always helped her with the housework when he came home, which meant that he knew that her life at home was not easy either.

Han Guobin naturally knew that his wife's life was not easy. She had to take care of the children and work in the fields to earn work points, and then do housework when she got home. How could it be easy?

After his wife finished washing, he changed the water and washed one too, and then went to wash his own clothes.

When Brother Han came over, he happened to see the second brother washing clothes.

The news had been spreading in the village for a long time, but it was the first time that Brother Han had seen it. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother, is there something wrong?" Han Guobin looked at him and asked.

Brother Han was carrying a wooden barrel, and inside it was a yellow eel. It was quite large, probably weighing about 50 to 60 grams, making it a big yellow eel.

"I caught a few eels and gave two to my parents. This one is for you," said Brother Han.

"Brother, pour it into that basin." Han Guobin said.

When Chen Rou came out, she saw Brother Han carrying the wooden barrel away. Han Guobin said, "Brother sent some yellow eels."

Chen Rou looked into the basin and saw that the eel was quite large. She smiled and said, "I'll stew it with pickles tomorrow."

Brother Han, the eldest uncle, often goes fishing and occasionally brings some fish to Chen Rou. Chen Rou knows all about it.

Han Guobin nodded, and after the clothes were washed, Chen Rou let him go into the house and rest early.

Although he was tired, Han Guobin still wanted to be closer to his wife.

The couple was very gentle and affectionate with each other. As it was still early, they were not in a hurry to go to bed.

Han Guobin doesn't have to go to work tomorrow, so he can sleep in later.

Chen Rou started talking about mushrooms and asked her colleagues in the city whether they ate mushrooms.

Han Guobin smiled and said, "My colleague asked me this a while ago." It's true. There are a lot of mushrooms in the mountains at this time of year, but city dwellers can't eat them.

Knowing that he was from the country, I naturally asked him about it. Exchanging some mushrooms for food was not a big deal and had nothing to do with speculation.

However, Han Guobin just said he would take a look but didn't take it seriously.

"Did you really ask?" Chen Rou asked.

"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.

"Then should I ask my sister-in-law and others to pick them?" Chen Rou said.

"Let my sister-in-law go pick them too." Han Guobin thought for a moment and said.

Chen Rou frowned slightly and said, "I know you want to take care of Big Brother. I also know that Big Brother is a kind person, but Big Sister-in-law's temper..."

There is no doubt that Han Guowu, the uncle, acts like a big brother, but sister-in-law Han does not act like a big sister-in-law at all.

"It's too risky." Chen Rou told the truth.

Han Guobin knew what his wife was worried about and laughed: "You don't know my sister-in-law yet. If she can make some money, she will be more tight-lipped than anyone else."

Mrs. Han got married very early and lived in the old house for the past few years. In her eyes, money is like her life.

If she could make some money, she would keep it a secret better than anyone else.

"Really?" Chen Rou asked in surprise. She really didn't know that Mrs. Han had this kind of personality. After all, they didn't have much contact with her.

"You can talk to her about it." Han Guobin said. He was thinking that his colleague only ate a little, so it would be nice to send some mushrooms to the provincial capital.

He heard from his colleague Li Dayuan, with whom he had taken baths, that members of the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital were receiving the goods.

He also secretly pointed out a supply and marketing cooperative and told him about the other party. He just needed to report the code he gave when he got there, and there would be no other problems.

Han Guobin had never thought of what to sell. Selling food? That was impossible. There was not enough food at home. Food could not be sold.
