The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 36 (Part 1)

The words of asking for favor for Song Xiaoyu were just said casually.

Chen Rou simply wanted to make some money. It didn't matter to her whether Song Xiaoyu, the third sister-in-law, did favors or not.

However, Chen Rou felt uncomfortable just after agreeing to Song Xiaoyu.

This comfort manifests itself in restlessness.

Even after giving her two sons a bath and sending them to bed, Chen Rou still had some small bumps on her face.

This was her intuition. She had it every time she went out to look for food during the apocalypse.

If she felt nervous before going out, she would definitely not go out that day. But there was one time when she was clearly feeling uneasy, but she had no choice but to go out because she had no way to get food. She almost lost her life that time.

After that, in the apocalypse, no matter how thirsty or hungry she is, she will not go out again if she feels something is wrong.

She never questioned her instincts again.

After Chen Rou coaxed her two sons to sleep, she dozed off and waited for Han Guobin to come home.

Han Guobin came back on time at the same time today.

After he got on the kang, Chen Rou told him that Song Xiaoyu asked her to help buy another set of quilt covers.

"No problem. I'll go find that lady tomorrow and buy another one from her." Han Guobin said.

Chen Rou didn't say anything after hearing this, but her anxiety grew even stronger.

It was not until she was about to fall asleep that Chen Rou suddenly woke up!

She got off the kang and lit the lamp. Han Guobin was almost asleep. He asked drowsily, "Wife, what are you doing?"

"Get up, don't sleep, I have something to tell you." Chen Rou looked at him and said.

Until just now, she realized why she had been restless since she promised Song Xiaoyu today. She always felt that she had forgotten something. Now she finally understood what she had forgotten.

She forgot to be alert!

It was the first time that Han Guobin saw his wife's face look so serious.

"Wife, what's wrong?" He also sat up and said to his wife.

"Guobin, let's not help others carry things in the future. I'm going to report to my third brother's wife tomorrow, so I can't buy anything." Chen Rou saw the fatigue between his brows and softened her tone, speaking softly.

Han Guobin thought it was something serious, but when he heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow and will bring it back to you."

Chen Rou was not very happy when she heard his words, but her heart beat faster.

It's so natural!

Her Guobin is just like her, and has lost his composure recently!

"Guobin, you have a salary, and we can also share food in the village. This is enough for us. Even if we have more children, we can support them. In the future, even if the village needs to exchange tickets, we will not help, okay? Just bring a few back occasionally, and we will refuse everything else. As for Third Aunt, we can give her what we don't need, and you are not allowed to take any of her colleagues' things!" Chen Rou sat in his arms, looked into his eyes and said in one breath.

Han Guobin was holding his wife in a daze, looking at her. He seemed to understand what his wife was worried about, and said, "Wife, don't worry..."

"Guobin, think about it. Think carefully about what we have done recently." Chen Rou interrupted him and looked at him seriously.

Han Guobin frowned, but soon his expression paused slightly.

Under the dim light, the couple looked at each other, and Han Guobin hugged his wife and whispered, "I understand, my wife, don't be afraid."

"Then don't bring it?" Chen Ruo said softly.

"No." Han Guobin nodded and hugged her.

After hearing his words, Chen Rou's uneasiness in her heart finally subsided. It was getting late, so she went to bed immediately. She fell asleep soon after getting into bed.

Han Guobin, however, did not fall asleep so quickly. He began to reflect on his actions during this period. The more he thought about it, the colder his back became.

To describe him in a way that he didn't know in later generations, it would be that he was arrogant and bloated.

He didn't say much, just held his wife in his arms.

Fortunately, his wife reminded him.

Chen Rou slept well all night. She did not blame her man for being too proud of himself. He was already very calm. After all, she, who came from the end of the world, could get carried away by the comfortable life, not to mention that he was just a young man in his twenties.

Being able to calm down and reflect on yourself is progress and deserves praise.

Chen Rou came to see Song Xiaoyu early the next morning.

Ignoring Han's mother's expression, he called Song Xiaoyu out and went to a place where there was no one to talk.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry, you should go back. Your second brother won't help take care of the child." Chen Rou said.

Song Xiaoyu was stunned and said quickly: "Second sister-in-law, you promised me yesterday."

"I only promised you to tell Guobin, but Guobin said that the quilt cover was originally bought for his own family, and he didn't know when I changed it. But since I changed it, he won't bring it for anyone else." Chen Rou said.

"These are all relatives and colleagues." Song Xiaoyu said hurriedly.

"It's only for your sake, otherwise I wouldn't have brought those little leather shoes from Shanghai last time. Go and return them." Chen Rou said and ignored her.

Song Xiaoyu had no choice. When she came to work, her sister-in-law's sister and colleagues came over.

Song Xiaoyu came out and talked to them.

"I've said long ago that I can't carry it. My second uncle doesn't help others carry things. Last time, I begged him for help to buy Zhenzhen's little leather shoes. The quilt cover was also bought by my second uncle for his own use. My second sister-in-law is used to being frugal. How could a country woman be willing to use such beautiful things?" Song Xiaoyu said.

Song Xiaoyu felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she had said before that it was difficult to carry and she might not be able to carry it. Her second uncle never helped others carry things, otherwise she would not be able to explain herself now.

"You don't want to bring it? I think Zhenzhen's quilt cover is really nice. We are all tight-lipped people. Can't we be flexible?" Zhenzhen's colleague said.

The girl next to her named Zhenzhen is her sister-in-law's younger sister. Upon hearing this, she said, "Yeah, can't you help to make some adjustments? They are all relatives, there shouldn't be so many problems."

"I've also said that helping to carry things is not profiteering. But you also know that my second uncle's job is more important than anything else. He really doesn't want to carry it, and I have no choice." Song Xiaoyu said.

She felt it was a pity that she had missed an opportunity to make friends with government agencies.

"Will your second uncle not help to bring it anymore? I originally wanted to ask him to buy a box of Pechoin." Zhenzhen said, "There is no more in the county."

"My second sister-in-law is using it herself. She applied it when she came home for the reunion dinner last year. It smells very good and is very nourishing. Her skin became very smooth after using it!" said Song Xiaoyu.

"Then bring me a box?" Zhenzhen asked quickly.

"No one is allowed to bring it, otherwise my two colleagues would also want it." Song Xiaoyu sighed.

After chatting for a while, Zhenzhen and her colleague left.

Zhenzhen apologized to her colleague, who said, "It's nothing, but country people are just too cautious. It's no big deal. We are not that kind of people."

"That's true, but it's not surprising. The situation is tense right now and it's easy to get into trouble if you don't make a penny from others. Everyone is afraid." Zhenzhen said.

"I originally thought that you would make money from it, but now it seems that you really didn't make money from it," said her colleague.

"Why?" Zhenzhen asked in surprise.

"It's so expensive." Her colleague said, "But if they made a profit from yours, they would definitely make a profit. There's no reason not to make a profit from it. But since they didn't even let me take it, I guess I really didn't make any profit."

"I think you're thinking too much. Xiaoyu's second uncle is an honest countryman. He buys pots for many people in the village, and he charges 25 yuan for each pot. He doesn't make a penny more. Moreover, when villagers ask him to buy things from the provincial capital, he never helps them buy them. He just helps to exchange tickets and lets the villagers go to the city to queue up. How do you think he makes money? The quilt cover is expensive, but the craftsmanship is impeccable, it's real." Zhenzhen said.

"I like it very much, but I didn't expect that I won't be allowed to bring it." Her colleague said with a bit of regret.

The two of them walked further and further away, and finally went to work together.

Han Guobin didn't know about this.

Today he came to the city early to work, and also came to talk to his sister about this matter.

Han Guoli nodded without saying a word and said, "Okay, then I won't answer it!" Without even asking.

Han Guobin exhaled slowly, nodded without saying anything, and was about to go back to the Transportation Department.

Han Guoli whispered: "Second brother, scold me."

"Why should I scold you?" Han Guobin was stunned.

"Just scold me for being ignorant, speak louder." Han Guoli said.

Han Guobin looked at his sister and almost understood what she meant, so he said angrily with a gloomy face: "After marrying into the city, you have become more cunning and more ignorant!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Not long after he left, a colleague came out to look for Han Guoli.

"What's going on? I noticed that your second brother didn't look very well just now?" the colleague asked hurriedly.
