The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 42 (Part 1)
Although Han Guobin rejected Han Guolin, Song Xiaoyu still came to see Chen Rou that day.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin have the same attitude, how could one refuse and the other accept it?
Just tell Song Xiaoyu that Han Guolin is doing well now and it's too risky to leave.
A scorer who works part-time as an accountant and the village's penman can earn a lot of work points even if he only has a junior high school diploma. He can easily earn hundreds of kilograms of grain and dozens of yuan in dividends every year.
For example, this year, because the harvest was good, Han Guolin alone received nearly 500 kilograms of grain, in addition to 48 yuan.
Plus Song Xiaoyu’s own income of 18 yuan per month.
Chen Rou felt that their family's conditions were almost the same as hers, so why would they take such risks?
Seeing that she didn't want to help, Song Xiaoyu came back.
Seeing his wife like this, Han Guolin knew it was impossible, and said, "Forget it. Second brother won't agree to it with his temper."
"But how did Second Brother know that?" Song Xiaoyu's stern eyes fell on him: "Did you let Second Brother know something?"
"No way, my second brother and I never mentioned this!" Han Guolin said immediately.
"How would your second brother know if you didn't tell me?" Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
"How do I know that my second brother guessed it? Are you sure you didn't tell my second sister-in-law?" Han Guolin asked her back.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Song Xiaoyu said unhappily. She was speaking according to the draft she had prepared in advance.
"My second brother said that he has encountered many such things. When he heard what my second sister-in-law said, he guessed it. He told me not to think too hard about it." Han Guolin sighed.
"Why are you so upset? Aren't we all doing this for our son?" Song Xiaoyu glared at him.
"Actually, I don't have to go there if my eldest son goes to school in town. If he goes out with you, you can send him to school and then go to work. It doesn't take much time. You can let him come to see you after school and the way is not difficult to find. Isn't that great?" Han Guolin said.
In fact, he had no real desire to go to town. He felt that he was doing well in the village and felt that there was no security in the town.
This incident happened today, actually it’s all because of the child’s education.
He had been taken by his wife to get sterilized, and he recovered after the sterilization at his wife's parents' home.
These are his only two sons in the future, so naturally he wants to train them well. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed, if his two sons can become college students, then his life will be worth it.
And it also brings honor to the family.
He also felt that the education in the village was not good, especially since the educated youth who were teaching were busy reviewing themselves and had no time to teach the children. They just let them play.
He wanted to send his son to town to study.
Song Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I don't know? Isn't there just such a position? If we can get it, it would be great if the whole family could move there?"
Society is different now, and she no longer looks down on this shabby little place in the village. She has saved a lot of money over the years. She eats from the public and saves all her earnings for herself, so her wallet is bulging.
She even asked around in the town if there was a house she could stay in, or rent in later times.
But even if she has to pay out a sum of money every month, she doesn't mind. The most important thing is that her two sons become successful.
What could I accomplish by hanging out with other dirty kids in this country place?
Although she had her own selfish motives in using the backdoor, wanting to make her family a dual-income family, she only had these two sons, and she hoped that they would both become college students.
But what does this village look like?
What kind of education can be achieved in this village? Can that school be called a school? It's just a small shabby house, and it can't be compared with the primary school in the town!
However, the couple had discussed it well, and now that Han Guobin refused to help take care of the child, what else could they do but give up the idea.
Later they were glad that they had given up the idea.
Song Xiaoyu's colleague Zhou Yu is the name of the female colleague who doesn't get along with her. The two are called Shuang Yu, but neither of them is willing to give in to the other.
Zhou Yu's husband has a job, but she couldn't resist her mother-in-law's instigation and education, so she accepted the things her mother-in-law bought and asked her to send to her.
What she wanted was to find a job for her lazy brother-in-law.
And her mother-in-law was really willing to spend money. She not only bought sheets and quilt covers, but also a kettle and small leather shoes, and she even hid twenty yuan in the small leather shoes.
This move was quite generous, but who would have known that Zhou Yu would be reported on the night of her wedding.
The director personally took these things and reported it.
Zhou Yu has now been dismissed from her job and is under investigation. Not only will she not be able to find a job for her uncle, she will also lose her own job.
The next day, Song Xiaoyu saw the director's newly married daughter Liu Fangfang coming to take over Zhou Yu's position. She had just heard about this from other colleagues.
Everyone was stunned.
Song Xiaoyu was still terrified when she rode a bicycle with her eldest son back to the village.
"Mom, I don't want to go to town to study anymore." Han Si said dejectedly at the back.
"Why not go to school? The teachers there are all professionals." Song Xiaoyu came back to his senses and said.
"My classmates don't like me and push me away. I don't want to study in town. I want to study in the village." Han Si said.
"What's so good about the village? Can you have a future if you study in the village?" Song Xiaoyu said unhappily.
"Brother Hang is studying in the village. He said he wants to go to college in the future!" Han Si said.
Song Xiaoyu's heart moved, and she said, "How about letting your brother Hang go to town with you to study?"
"Is it okay?" Han Si's eyes lit up: "If you let Brother Hang go with me, then I will go. Brother Hang will help me if someone bullies me!"
"You are so promising. You are only a few months younger than him, and your grandmother has provided you with plenty of food and drink. Why don't you dare to hit others?" Song Xiaoyu said.
Han Si stopped talking.
Looking at this honest boy, what else can Song Xiaoyu say? He just looks like his father.
After returning to the village, Song Xiaoyu put her son down and pulled Han Guolin into the house.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?" Han Guolin asked with a confused look on his face.
"Guolin, you know, I was scared to death today!" Song Xiaoyu's face turned a little pale, and her hands still trembled a little when she thought of this.
"What's wrong?" Han Guolin asked in surprise.
Song Xiaoyu told what she had heard from her colleagues: Zhou Yu listened to her mother-in-law and bribed the director, and was reported by the director.
Now, let alone her, Han Guolin's calves even went weak!
"I guess Director Liu had wanted to arrange for her daughter to come in after she came back from the city last year. It's just that everyone was very vigilant about Juanzi's replacement, so she didn't find the opportunity," said Song Xiaoyu.
"It's okay, it's okay." Han Guolin wiped his sweat and said repeatedly.
Fortunately, my second brother refused at that time and did not bring the goods to them, otherwise, the people who would go in now might not be just his wife’s colleagues, and most likely the couple would not be able to escape either!
Song Xiaoyu said, "I plan to ask my second sister-in-law if Hanghang wants to go to town to study. If he does, I will take him there later."
"Of course I'd be happy to let you go, but wife, are you willing to give me a ride?" Although Han Guolin was still frightened, he still looked at his wife and said.
He knew his wife's character very well, and for many years she had been envious of his second brother because of his high-paying, respectable job and good reputation in the village.
"It doesn't make much difference whether you carry one or two." Song Xiaoyu waved her hand, then went to the second room to find Chen Rou.
Chen Rou is currently pickling salted eggs using a traditional recipe of yellow mud. There are four pounds of eggs in a jar, and she used almost one pound of salt.
Seeing Song Xiaoyu coming over, Chen Rou said, "How come the third sister-in-law has time to come over?"
"Are you pickling eggs, sister-in-law?" Song Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Yeah." Chen Rou responded, and while busying herself, she asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just came to ask you, second sister-in-law, whether you want to let Hanghang go to school in town with his brother?" Song Xiaoyu said.
Chen Rou glanced at her and said, "Third sister-in-law, your second brother is too old-fashioned. He doesn't help people sell goods."
This couple was even capable of doing something as stupid as bribery. She didn't want to help carry the things anymore. She just gave up the idea.
Song Xiaoyu quickly said, "Second sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I'm not here to ask my second brother to help carry things. I just want to ask about Hanghang's studies. If he goes with his brother, they will have company. I'll just send them both over together."
"That's too much trouble for you." Chen Rou said this after seeing that she was sincere.
