The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 40 (Part 3)

The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 40 (Part 3)

From the fall of four people last year to the resumption of the college entrance examination this year, these are all major manifestations, as well as minor ones.

For example, there are many people in this village who do not follow the rules and raise chickens and ducks.

Since the beginning of this spring, everyone seems to have started raising them. Of course, they are not as open as before, but some people raise three or four more than before.

Not only in their village, but also in her mother's village and Gaozheng Village, they do this.

Others don't know that Chen Rou herself is a calm person. She directly asked Han Guobin to build a chicken coop in her backyard and raise six chickens to lay eggs. Today it's too cold for them to lay eggs, so they are all huddled together. But when it's warm, the family basically doesn't need to buy eggs.

I asked my brothers to dig up earthworms, small fish and shrimps and bring them back to feed them. I also added vegetable leaves from our own grassland and threw them directly into the broken bowl in the chicken coop. They would eat happily and lay eggs very diligently. When there were many, I could pick up five or six a day, and each chicken would lay one.

Including the eggs laid by the big white goose at home, the villagers would sometimes bring three chicken eggs to exchange for one goose egg, because they also wanted to taste what the goose egg tasted like, so why would they need to buy it?

Mrs. Han was very cautious. When she saw that her sister-in-law Chen Rou was so bold, she whispered, "Maybe she was raising too many."

She caught two more, and including the two originally at home, she only raised four in total. But the second brother's family was too bold. They raised six chickens, not counting the white geese.

Chen Rou was very calm and told her that it was okay to raise one or two more.

This attitude made Han Dasao really admire her sister-in-law.

The second wife seemed indifferent and didn't bother to argue with others over trivial matters, but when it came to such a big matter, her courage was truly unmatched.

For example, since the beginning of this spring, the second brother's family told her very directly that she would collect as many mushrooms as there were in the mountains.

This year, Mrs. Han really put all her energy into picking mushrooms. When her two sons didn't have to go to work, she sent them out to pick mushrooms and earned quite a bit of money!

The atmosphere has changed, even if it's just the beginning, but Chen Rou is not too worried. Society will only get better and better in the future.

Those who are caught in speculation and profiteering are actually those who bring in goods from outside and sell them at high prices. This is the original speculation and profiteering mentioned in the document.

But if the farmers sell their own products, it is not called speculation. Chen Rou does not think that mushrooms are wrong in today's market.

It will dry naturally.

Han Guobin took it to the provincial capital to sell it, and when he came back he said that the price had been raised a little, and he was asked to take it directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, which would buy it back, and there was no need for a private transaction.

This is the change in social trends.

Otherwise, why did Chen Rou get so angry with her rough man when she found out she was pregnant with her fourth child? She had worked so hard to raise her daughter, and now she was involved in another one. How could she get ready to do it?

But now that the matter is settled, let's just leave it this way for now.

As for Song Xiaoyu's abortion, no one in the village knew about it. All they knew was that there was a big fight in the old house and Song Xiaoyu went back to her parents' home. No one knew anything else.

The pig farm, which was the most chaotic in the village, has calmed down.

The story ends with Second Aunt Han lying down on the kang.

South Korea just asked Ye Qian to take the college entrance examination.

Many people in the village said that Han Guogang was crazy for letting Ye Qian take the college entrance examination. If she passed, she would be gone. Could we still expect her to come back?

Han's wife, Zhou Zhen, and Cai Lihua also said so, but Chen Rou had different ideas from them.

She thought that letting Ye Qian pass the exam and leave might be better for Han Guogang, but of course she was not stupid enough to say that out loud.

The village believes that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a relationship, not to mention that they now have two children, a daughter and a son.

Everyone in the village felt that they couldn't disperse no matter what, even though everyone knew what kind of person Ye Qian was.

But Chen Rou, who came from the end of the world, was very realistic. Even if Ye Qian left, Han Guogang would not be any worse off with his two children.

In Chen Rou's opinion, there is actually not much difference between that family with or without Ye Qian. To be more indifferent, when Wang Zhiqing was sent away for hooliganism, why didn't Ye Qian go with him?

If they were together, maybe she would realize that going to Gai Laobi and being with a man like Han Guogang did not injustice her at all.

However, the unanimous opinion in the village was that Wang Zhiqing was being rude to a married woman. They threw all the dirty water on Wang Zhiqing and asked him to refute it, but he had no way to refute it. All he did was to help Han Guogang maintain his already dilapidated home.

In Chen Rou's opinion, it was totally unnecessary. Why not help Ye Qian by sending her and Wang Zhiqing to live together?

Of course, these were all she thought in her heart, and she didn't say anything on the surface.

Han Guogang's two sons would play with the children in the village and come over occasionally. If Chen Rou had steamed buns, tomatoes, etc. at home, she would give them to the siblings to fill their stomachs.

There are also some children in the village who refuse to play with them. They learn this from the adults at home and say that their mother is a slut and it is shameful to play with them!

It is the adults who commit sins and the children suffer as a result.

If Ye Qian left, Han Guogang might be able to live a good life with his two children. Chen Rou really didn't think this was a bad thing.

But there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said.

However, Chen Rou’s idea was good, but it is not easy to pass the university entrance exam. There is only more than a month left before the exam, and there are so many students competing for the limited places.

So Ye Qian failed the exam, but she was unwilling to accept it. She even thought that Han Guogang had secretly kept her admission letter!

But obviously I was overthinking it.

Among the educated youth in the village, only one passed the exam. He had never given up studying since he went to the countryside, and he passed with very good grades. But except him, no one else passed.

It’s the same in other villages, only a few people can get into university.

The value of college students is the highest at this time, because after graduating from college, they can directly become officials!

This is absolutely true. With so much work to do, we need such talents. You can become an official just after graduating from university!

I may not pass the exam this year, but I can still take it next year, so naturally I will continue to study hard.

But at this time, everyone was no longer interested in paying attention to these things. College students are good, but they are too far away from them, the country people.

It's already the end of the year, and today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day for grinding tofu. Brother Han's family is grinding tofu.

Brother Han sent a few pieces of money to the old house, but was stabbed in the face by Sister-in-law Han.

"You won't get any good words from me if you give it to them, so why give it to them?" Mrs. Han snorted coldly, then handed a few pieces to Chen Rou.

When he heard Hanghang reading, he smiled and said, "Study hard, because you will need to go to university in the future."

"Sister-in-law, when you go back, let Tiedan and Ludan study hard." Chen Rou took the tofu and said.

"Why should they study? They should go to the fields and earn work points." Mrs. Han waved her hand.

It doesn’t cost much to go to school nowadays, just one or two dollars, so Mrs. Han is not reluctant to spend the money.

But the key is not to waste your money without knowing how to read.

Besides, in her opinion, it is not that easy to get into university. Haven't you seen so many educated youths, only one of them could get in?

"If a family has a college student, it will bring honor to the family." Chen Rou said, "He can become an official."

"I think so too. Our Han family has never had a scholar in their ancestry. They are all from the mud. The two brothers are good at work, but they fall asleep after reading for a while. If they can really read, I will sell everything I have to support them!" said Han's eldest sister-in-law. Then she said, "But I see that Hanghang looks like a scholar."

"What do you mean you look like a scholar? I'm just guarding with a stick." Chen Rou waved her hand.

One has to admit that Mrs. Han was being honest. There had never been a single scholar in the Han family, including her eldest son.

Even though he looks like her and has the exact same personality as his father, Chen Rou doesn't care about that.

She let them do whatever they wanted with other things, and had no objection if they ate more and played more, but when it came to studying, they had to complete the assigned tasks within the specified time every day, otherwise don't even think of her being polite, because if you don't get bamboo sticks, you won't know how delicious fried meat with bamboo sticks is.

Han Guobin has never had a child since he was a child. This man looks rough, but he really loves children.

Chen Rou was different. She had always been brought up in a rough way, including her daughter. She just left her daughter to grow up like that. If she didn't obey, she would just beat her.

So the children in the family are afraid of their mothers but not their fathers.

The boss inside, Han Hang, can recite so fluently now. This is the result after eating fried meat with bamboo sticks three times.

You know what, it really works.

Han Dasao was delighted to hear her words and asked again, "I heard that you sent five feet of cloth coupons to the old house?"
