The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 36 (Part 4)

It is said that she got pregnant again only now after giving birth to her second child. This is also related to the fact that she did not have any confinement period after giving birth to two sons in a row and did not have much to eat.

It wasn't until this year that she got pregnant again. It was really hard for Brother Han. He was a little overwhelmed by the woman's enthusiasm.

However, after that period of hard struggle, probably also because of eating fish every day, Han Dasao put it in her pocket again.

I’m so happy that it feels like New Year’s Day.

Brother Han was puzzled and asked what she was happy about. It was not like she had never given birth before.

Han Dasao might as well tell him: "The second wife said that if I'm in confinement, she will give me a rooster to increase my milk supply!"

After giving birth to two sons, she never had a proper confinement period. Not to mention a proper confinement period, it was good enough if she could eat 70% to 80% full.

At least there are none of the first two.

Brother Han was puzzled and asked, "Why did your second brother's wife send you a rooster when you were in confinement?"

"I went to help her last time when she gave birth to Zhou Zhou, and she thanked me." Han Dasao said, "Speaking of which, the second brother's family is really nice, although the stitches are a bit big."

Brother Han made her angry: "You went over to help for a few days and didn't do any work, and you just accepted a rooster from your second brother's wife?"

Mrs. Han said angrily, "It was my second brother's wife who asked to give it to me, and I didn't ask for it. Why did she stop me from giving it to me?"

The couple almost had a quarrel. Brother Han felt that he couldn't have it, but Sister-in-law Han wanted it.

At the end of the argument, Han's eldest sister-in-law began to wipe her tears: "I have been married to you for so many years, and I have given birth to these two sons, but I still don't know what confinement is. Why am I so miserable? Compared with my third brother's wife, who married into a wealthy family, with a mother-in-law who carefully served her fine grains and eggs every meal, even compared with the second brother's family, I am inferior to the dust. I just eat a rooster and confine myself, what's wrong with me?"

"We can buy it ourselves." said Brother Han.

"You can buy it for free, right?" Han Dasao said, "Second sister-in-law knows that it's not easy for me, and I gave her so many mushrooms, so what's wrong with her giving me a chicken?"

This guy is really cunning. The mushrooms are clearly for exchange for money, but he said they were given away for free.

"What's the value of mushrooms? How dare you compare them with a rooster?" Brother Han said, but he didn't say anything else in the end.

My wife is too frugal in her life. There is actually quite a bit of money at home, but she just wants to save it to build a house.

I don't even want to eat eggs.

Mrs. Han stopped crying when she saw that he had shut up. She thought to herself, I can't control you, you fool.

Chen Rou was unaware of this farce.

When Chen's mother had time, she would bring two steamed cakes to visit her two little grandchildren.

"Grandma, it's delicious." Hanghang smiled at his grandma while eating the steamed cake.

"As long as it tastes good, eat more and grow up quickly to earn work points." Chen's mother said with a smile.

Hanghang nodded seriously: "Yes, earn work points." Although the child is young, he understands the importance of earning work points.

If you have work points, you have food to eat. If you get no work points, you have no food to eat. The children in the village cannot eat enough. He asked if it was uncomfortable to be hungry, and the little girl said it was very uncomfortable.

He ran home and got her a tomato to eat, so that she could grow up quickly and earn work points so that she wouldn't be hungry anymore.

Chen Rou knew about this matter. The little girl was from Guo Jin's family.

Guo Jin is the man of the woman who wanted to borrow milk from Chen Rou before.

The first baby was a girl, and the one that was born with breastfeeding was a son. Daughters were worthless in her family, and it was common for them to go hungry.

Hanghang ran home and brought her a tomato, but she ignored him. Another time, he even brought her a cucumber to chew on.

Mother Chen didn't know about these things, but she was very happy. She said to her daughter, "You will definitely be capable when you grow up. You will be as capable as their father. Just wait and enjoy the good life!"

She really thought that her youngest daughter would live a happy life in the future and would not have to worry about anything.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "I'll send them to school when they grow up." When the two sons grow up, it should be the world of intellectuals, and they must keep up with the pace of the times.

As for her, forget it. I'll see if there's any good business to do when the time comes.

"What's the point of reading books? Haven't you seen that those educated youths have all gone to the countryside? What's the point of reading books if you can't even lift anything?" Chen's mother said unhappily.

"That's not the case. If you're good at writing, you can do anything easily. Look at my uncle, he's the scorer and accountant in the village, but his job is much easier. And the factory is recruiting workers, who wants someone who can't read?" Chen Rou said.

Chen's mother was stunned and said, "You want them to work in the factory when they grow up? That's not so easy."

"Even if it's not easy to get in, there is always a chance to get in. People's fortunes come and go. Guobin never thought that he would be a driver one day?" Chen Rou asked back.

Mother Chen nodded, this was the truth.

"If you are prepared, you will have opportunities. If you don't even read a book, you will be illiterate in the future and won't be able to seize the opportunities even if they are available." Chen Rou said.

"Then do you want to let your nephews and your two twin nephews go to school?" asked Chen's mother.

"Of course." Chen Rou said, "My nieces and the others have to go too."

"We will definitely send them as gifts. It will be easier to find a husband in the future, and we will be able to find a good one." said Chen's mother.

Seeing that her mother knew what was going on, Chen Rou didn't need to say much and turned to talk about her cousin and Su Mianmian.

Mother Chen smiled and said, "I only found out about it when I gave you the mutton I brought home a while ago. You've given birth to a big fat boy weighing more than 15 pounds. Counting the days, he should be almost two months old now. He must be too busy to come back."

"That's a real skill." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Your uncle is very happy. He finally puts his mind at ease and is very happy. He said it was all because of you who introduced them to each other," said Chen's mother.

"I didn't plan to be the matchmaker, it was you, mom." Chen Rou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She had no interest in matchmaking, and when Su Mianmian came over often, she never thought of her cousin.

Her impression of the educated youth was that they would have to return to the city sooner or later, and how could she say otherwise unless she was willing?

"That's because I came to your place and saw them. Their fate started with you." said Chen's mother.

Chen Rou smiled and said nothing more. Fate is such a strange thing. She didn't expect that Su Mianmian and her third cousin would fall in love with each other so much.

Of course, it's because they both have good conditions, but it's also because they are destined to be together.

Of course this is good, there is also a kind of bad fate.

For example, when Han Guo just got together with Ye Qian, there was no good-looking girl in the village, even though Ye Qian was pregnant now.

When Chen's mother went back, Chen Rou gave her a small bag of biscuits and asked her to take it back for her nephews and nieces. Chen's mother knew that her younger daughter's family was well-off, so she did not refuse her.

According to the old custom in the village, the meat was distributed on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. This time, Chen Rou made cabbage and pork dumplings on the same day.

Little Hanghang's mouth was full of oil while he was eating. As for his younger brother, Chen Rou gave him one, and seeing that he was enjoying the chewing, she let him do as he pleased.

She always chopped it into small pieces, so she wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to eat it because he had teeth.

Not to mention Han Guobin, he lay down on the kang directly after eating. He has been doing very well since the winter this year.

Before going to work, Chen Rou cooked another meal for him. He didn't need to have lunch in the city and could just go to the provincial capital for dinner.

Han Guobin works a stable job and earns a salary. From time to time, he brings back some tickets to the village. If anyone needs to buy a pot, he will help buy it.

With someone like him working outside, many of the things the villagers need become much more convenient.

Chen Rou takes care of her two sons. When they grow up, she will start to earn work points. However, her husband Guobin asks her not to let herself become too rough.

His salary was not much, but it was enough for food and clothing at home, so she took good care of herself. She felt comfortable only when he hugged her when she slept at night.

This rough man is becoming more and more shameless. Chen Rou has often said that he is not serious, but this rough man is really serious with outsiders. Even when he is with her on the kang, he is really shameless.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, these busy, happy and sweet days.
