The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 31 (Part 3)

But if we can’t sell grain, what else can we sell? There’s nothing else to sell in the countryside.

Today, the wild mushrooms have reminded Han Guobin that mushrooms from the mountains might be a good choice.

"Let my sister-in-law and the others try picking some first." Chen Rou thought for a moment and said.

Han Guobin also listened to his wife, and then he wanted more.

Chen Rou asked him to go to bed early. Really, he had just finished his busy work and he didn't even feel tired.

Han Guobin was naturally not tired, but seeing that his wife was sleepy, he stopped thinking about it and hugged her to sleep.

Han Guobin went to work as usual, and Chen Rou told her mother about it when she sent Han Hang to her mother's house.

Mother Chen pulled her into the house and asked if she was reliable.

Chen Rou nodded. He was reliable. She knew Guo Bin’s character. He would not say anything if he was unreliable.

"Okay, I'll let your sister-in-law take turns to rest and go into the mountains to collect fruits." said Chen's mother.

Old Chen's family used to be really poor, but in recent years, their conditions have been pretty good. After all, there are four strong working men in the family, which is the best in the village.

A lot of grain was distributed, and when money was distributed at the end of the year, there was also a lot. For example, last year, the Chen family received more than 180 yuan.

After her three daughters-in-law came home from work, Chen's mother brought them into the house to talk.

Mother Chen would not keep all the money in the family and not give a penny to her daughters-in-law. She is not like that.

When Chen Rou replaced her military water bottle, her mother asked them to share the money. And when the money was divided at the end of last year, she gave them two dollars each and asked them to save it for their own family assets.

So when the three daughters-in-law heard Chen's mother say that she would give them some money, they had no doubts.

Even Chen Sansao was a little slow to react: "My uncle's colleague wants to eat mushrooms, but he only eats a few. Why do we need to take turns to rest and go to the mountains to pick mushrooms?"

Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Ersao were very excited. When they heard what the third wife said, they immediately looked at her. The third wife's brain hasn't been working well since she gave birth to a son!

Mrs. Chen was stared at by her two sisters-in-law. She was stunned for a moment, then she realized it belatedly. She widened her eyes slightly and said to her mother-in-law, "Mother...you mean...that's what you mean?"

"What do you mean? I don't mean anything." Chen's mother gave her a cold look and said, "Do you want to make the money? If you don't want to make it, I won't force you."

"Mother, dear mother, how could you leave me behind in such a matter?" Mrs. Chen San said hurriedly.

They have to save up some money. Their mother-in-law has told them that after a few years, when the children have grown up, they can divide the money up. Now that they have the opportunity, why not save up some money?

"If anyone leaks the information, you won't be able to earn this money anymore," said Chen's mother.

"Mom, don't worry, how can we not know about this matter?" Chen Ersao said hurriedly.

"Yes, mother, you should also let my sister-in-law rest assured. Let her rest assured when the sisters-in-law do the work!" said Mrs. Chen.

"If someone asks you why you picked so many mushrooms, what will you say?" Mother Chen raised her eyelids and said lightly.

"That's nothing. When there are mushrooms to pick, we should pick more to eat. Besides, I can keep some and take it back to my parents' home!" Chen Ersao said immediately.

Mother Han was very satisfied. The second son's brain was very flexible. She looked at the other two and said, "That's pretty much what they said."

Just as Mrs. Han said, it was indeed going to rain. It started raining within a few days.

After the rain, it is a good time to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Although Mrs. Han's idea was refuted by Chen Rou, she still wanted to pick it. After all, this was also a farmer's dish and it could be kept for a long time after being dried.

Chen Rou sent Han Hang to her mother's house early in the morning, and then went up the mountain with Zhou Zhen and others to pick mushrooms.

"Sister-in-law, please pick more. They are very rare in this season." After going up the mountain, Chen Rou said to Sister-in-law Han.

Mrs. Han ignored her and said, "Don't come with me. Don't steal the one I like."

After saying that, he picked up his basket and left.

Zhou Zhen curled her lips and said, "Look at her. She has never been happy since Uncle Guobin got this job. You should ignore her. Who needs to pay attention to her mood?"

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Let's pick them quickly too."

Since Chen Rou had a space, picking mushrooms was very convenient. She probably put a lot of them into the space and put the remaining ones in her basket.

It was almost noon when these women who had been picking mushrooms returned home. They had picked quite a lot.

Chen Rou also had a basket, but in her space, there were so many mushrooms that three or four large baskets were not enough to hold them.

When I got home, I started to dry the fruits with a sieve. Some of the Chen Rou in the space was taken out, and the rest remained in the space.

Chen Rou only picked mushrooms during the two or three days after the rain. The rest of the time she went to work as usual.

And now she was completely certain that she was pregnant again, because her period had not come yet.

Because she was pregnant, Chen Rou naturally began to consciously supplement herself with nutrition.

I cooked beef porridge and put it in the space. I drink a bowl of it every day to replenish my nutrition. Now that I am still young, I am not so easily hungry. When I am older, the consumption will be greater.

Han Guobin didn’t even know that his wife was pregnant. On the night of June 1st, when he returned home, he brought a lot of money with him.

The mushrooms that he brought to the provincial capital had already been sold, and he also exchanged two kilograms for his colleague and received a small amount of money.

There is also the profit from the two pots I brought back later, as well as my salary. Everything else is listed here.

Chen Rou felt sleepy, so she put the money away and prepared to go to bed, but she still asked.

Han Guobin answered one by one. When Chen Rou heard that everything went well, she didn't think about anything else and fell asleep immediately.

Han Guobin didn't pay attention to it at first, but he noticed in the next few days that his wife seemed to be able to sleep especially well. In the past, when he came back at night, his wife was not so sleepy.

Is she feeling unwell? Han Guobin could sense that his wife's temperature seemed a little high.

"Wife, do you have a fever?" Han Guobin came back that night. After his wife opened the door for him, she went straight to bed. Han Guobin was a little worried, so he touched his wife's forehead and said.

Chen Rou was just sleepy, not having a fever. She yawned and said, "It's always like this after pregnancy. It was the same with Hanghang before. Don't worry. Just go to sleep."

As she said that, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Han Guobin was stunned. He was going to be a father again? When did this happen?

It’s not that he doesn’t care about his wife, but that he doesn’t understand this aspect at all.

Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, Han Guobin began to think back. Since April, his wife had not allowed him to wear that thing anymore. But he loved his wife very much and was very close to her.

It seems that his wife has been very sleepy recently.

Han Guobin was very satisfied. He kissed his wife's face and then hugged her to sleep. However, his wife obviously disliked his heat and felt uncomfortable, so she pushed him away and turned to sleep on her own.

With Han Guobin's firepower, it would be comfortable to sleep in the same bed with him in winter, but forget about sleeping with him in the hot summer.

The next day, when Chen Rou woke up, Han Guobin woke up too.

"Wife, our second son is here?" Han Guobin hugged her, his voice a little hoarse in the early morning.

"Yeah." Chen Rou was also lazy and leaned softly in his arms.

"Wife, don't be frugal. Eat more. I'll go find Lao Yang tonight and ask him to prepare some more eggs." Han Guobin said.

"There's no need to buy eggs. The big white geese lay eggs very diligently." Chen Rou said.

The big white goose at home is indeed very diligent in laying eggs, laying one egg every three days. The goose at her mother's home is also being raised well now, but it is still not as fast as the one at home.

With the big white geese laying eggs, there is no shortage of eggs at home. After all, we don’t exchange them for money.

However, Han Guobin still brought back a basket of eggs a few days later, estimated to be three or four pounds, in addition to a piece of pork belly weighing more than two pounds.

They were all brought back for her to eat.

Chen Rou used some of the oil from the pork belly and used the rest to stew potatoes and eat them slowly.

Compared with other pregnant women in the village, Chen Rou’s food is really excellent.

That day, when Chen Rou brought baby Hanghang to her mother's house, she told her mother the news of her pregnancy.

"It's been almost two months and you just discovered it?" Chen's mother couldn't help but ask.

"I knew I was pregnant, but I didn't think of telling you, mother." Chen Rou said.

Mother Chen glared at her: "You can even forget this."
