The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 37 (Part 2)
She started telling their father how big and spacious the brick house was, and their mother also said that in the future the two brothers would each live in their own room!
"Okay, you two brothers can live in one room." Han Guobin nodded.
He actually hoped that the two brothers would go to bed quickly. They had grown up and become more troublesome. When they were being gentle and considerate with his wife, they were even more like thieves than before.
It’s best to move out as soon as possible and sleep on your own.
There were four people in the family, five in total including Chen Rou's baby. They got up, washed, had breakfast, and then came together to look at the house.
Brother Han and sister-in-law went to work, and left the key to the house with Chen Rou.
It's true that they have been getting along quite well in the past few years, otherwise, with Mrs. Han's personality, she would never have given the key to the house to Chen Rou.
Of course, Chen Rou, the second sister-in-law, has never disappointed her over the years.
You know, after all these years, Mrs. Han and her sister-in-law Song Xiaoyu are still at loggerheads with each other, and neither of them is willing to give in.
Han Guobin came here with his wife and children.
He had talked it over with Brother Han, and Brother Han had done exactly what he asked for, with no discrepancies.
"When will our family move?" Chen Rou asked.
"Let's move today." said Han Guobin.
Everything at home is almost ready now, we can move in.
If the head of the household says to move, then let’s move!
Let the father and son go about their business. Chen Rou just needs to wait here in the new home. Don't try to be brave with a big belly.
It was not until this year that she got pregnant again in the past three years. It’s not that she couldn’t get pregnant, but she already had two brothers. Chen Rou had no objection to having another child, but she was not that enthusiastic about it either.
As for her mother, she has been urging her a lot since she was one year old. Why hasn't she gotten pregnant yet?
Although our family conditions are good, we still need to take it slow and save some money.
So Chen Rou kept putting it off until this year. Now her belly is more than seven months big, and she will give birth soon. By the time she is out of confinement, it will be just in time for the autumn harvest.
She didn't go to the fields, but went to help out in the threshing ground, and she could bring the little one over there when the time came.
Han Guobin came over carrying food, while the two brothers came over with some small things, such as small baskets.
There wasn’t a lot of stuff, so it took only a few trips to move most of it.
"We're moving to a new house. Should we set up a few tables?" Chen Rou asked.
Han Guobin said, "I'm going to work the day after tomorrow. Can we set up the place tomorrow? We've saved a lot of meat coupons. Let's buy them all and cook them."
"I'll listen to you." Chen Rou nodded.
We are moving today and need to set up a few tables for a dinner party tomorrow, so we have to notify them today.
The villagers were not in a hurry. Han Guobin rode a bicycle with his two sons. They hadn't seen their father for a long time and missed him very much, so they wanted to follow him.
Han Guobin also dotes on his son, so he took his son along, told them not to put their feet under the wheels, and then took him for a ride.
All the children in the village who saw it couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.
This is a child who can afford to ride a bicycle!
However, the two guys from Korean Air and Hanzhou didn't react much. They have been riding these planes since they were young and it's nothing special to them.
They just wanted to go out for a ride with their dad. Each of them ate a White Rabbit milk candy, sat behind their dad, and looked at the fields and villages, and the villagers who were earning work points in the fields. This was the beautiful childhood they remembered when they grew up.
They followed their father to their grandparents' home in the next village. Their grandfather had gone to the fields, and their grandmother was at home.
Mother Chen was just picking beans in the yard. When she saw the father and son coming over, she smiled and asked, "Are we going to set the table?"
"Yes, Mom, let's set the table tomorrow. You and Dad can go together." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"With such a rush, will we have enough time to prepare?" Chen's mother asked hurriedly. She thought it would be the day after tomorrow.
"I have saved up some meat coupons. I will go buy them tomorrow morning. I will still have time." Han Guobin said, "Dad and Mom, please call my brother and sister-in-law and let's go together."
"Okay, let's go together then." Mother Chen was naturally very happy.
"Mom, I have to talk to my uncle too." Han Guobin said.
"I'll talk to you about this," said Chen's mother.
"Okay, I'll go over to my aunt and talk to her first." Han Guobin said.
"Your father is busy, do you two want to stay with grandma first?" Mother Chen asked her two grandchildren.
"With dad." The waiter Han Zhou shook his head.
"Grandma, I'll come and accompany you next time." The eldest brother Han Hang also smiled.
"Then go quickly, it will be hot soon." said Chen's mother.
Han Guobin took his two sons to Chen Sijie's place, which was quite far away. Han Guobin took his two sons with him while talking to them, and he would check their feet from time to time to prevent them from sticking into the car.
The boss, Korean Air, had experienced this before, and it was bloody.
He was also scolded by his wife. Of course, he felt bad about it and became more careful after that.
After Chen's mother cleaned up the house, she sent her grandson out to play and came to the village to find her youngest daughter.
Chen Rou was putting her things away. The kang made of red bricks was covered with a kang mat, which was very comfortable.
There were other things, big and small, and she was busy with them in an orderly manner.
Until Chen's mother's voice was heard outside.
"Mom." Chen Rou came out and was very happy to see her mother coming.
"Now that we have built such a big house, we should host a banquet in the village." Mother Chen said with satisfaction.
She came to see the house on the day it was completed.
The eldest daughter built a brick house a few years ago, and this year the younger daughter also moved into a brick house. Mother Chen felt very comforted.
Chen Rou smiled and led her mother into the house. Mother Chen sat on the kang and said, "This kang made of red bricks is very solid. It will definitely be warm in winter." Then she added, "Now is the time. Moving into a new house in the future is very particular and can't be so casual."
Over the past few years, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed, but even if you want to be particular, you still can't.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Our whole family came in with a smile."
Mother Chen nodded and asked about tomorrow's dinner party: "You don't have to buy so much meat, just a little token of your appreciation will be enough."
"What else can I do if I don't show my appreciation?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"I heard Guobin say he wants to invite several tables?" asked Chen's mother.
"Of course we do. There are quite a few people in the village, so we have to invite them." Chen Rou said.
"When you come to eat, you have to bring fifty cents or one dollar with you. If you push it, you don't have to be polite and take it." Chen's mother said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I will."
"The baby in your belly is a blessing too. You can give birth directly in your new home." Mother Chen smiled again.
"I was looking forward to having twins like my second sister, but I didn't expect to have none this time." Chen Rou said.
"Twins are good, but they are not cabbages that you can have just because you want them." Mother Chen said indifferently, "Now that the house is so spacious, you should get pregnant again after giving birth and rest well, and try to bring them together. If you had listened to me and given birth earlier, the one in your belly now would be the fourth child, and that would be almost enough."
Chen Rou didn't tell this to her mother, she just had to nod in agreement.
Mother Chen stayed here for a while and then went back. She went to her brother and told him that there was no need to notify the other brothers because they were not close.
Han Guobin and his two sons returned home from Chen Sijie's village.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang were not at home, and the two nephews Anwen and Anwu had also gone to school.
The two brothers are no longer children now, and when they are busy with the autumn and summer harvests, they are treated like half adults.
There was no one at home, so Han Guobin asked the neighbors about the house of An Dabang's parents. An Dabang's mother was at home, so Han Guobin asked her to tell Chen Sijie.
When Chen Sijie got off work and went home with An Dabang, she was extremely tired, but she still had to cook. Neither of her two stupid sons knew how to cook. It would be great if her daughter could cook as she was eight years old.
However, these two stupid sons were quite sensible. They collected a lot of grass to feed the pigs. Every year, the pigs in their family were the fattest and strongest in the village.
Anwen's grandmother came over and told him about Han Guobin's visit.
Fourth Sister Chen said, "I calculated the time and it's almost time. I'll take a leave tomorrow."
"Mom, I'll go with you!" An Wen said immediately.
"I want to go to my aunt's house too!" An Wu also said.
"Let's talk about it after the New Year. You'll have to eat so much there." Sister Chen waved her hand.
"Their uncle-in-law even specifically told us to bring them all over." An Wen's grandmother said, loving her grandson.
"Let's go visit their aunt's house during the New Year." Fourth Sister Chen still refused.
