The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 42 (Part 4)
"Come in, I'll boil some water for you." But Chen Rou still said calmly.
Han Guobin walked into the house holding a bicycle with a large package hanging next to it.
Chen Rou went straight into the kitchen to boil water.
Han Guobin started taking things out of the main room, and every time he took out something, the three siblings exclaimed.
"Your brother is still sleeping, please keep your voices down." Chen Rou reminded in the kitchen.
"Mom, mom, look, come out and see, my dad bought a semiconductor!" Han Zhou's excited voice came over.
Chen Rou lit the fire in the stove and then came out.
Sure enough, I saw a radio.
There are not only semiconductors, but also other things, such as canvas shoes from the south, which, judging by their size, were bought for the boss, Korean Air.
I bought a small abacus for my second child.
I bought a lot for the third girl, Orange, including a headband and a hair ornament, as well as a little doll. Now she is holding the doll and can't let it go.
Next to it are food, such as malted milk, candy and so on.
"I waste money every time I come back. I'm afraid that more than two months' salary is not enough to buy these." Chen Rou also received a gift, which was wrapped in a bag, but the rough man asked her to come into the house to see it, so she didn't look at it yet.
"It didn't cost much." Han Guobin grinned.
"It was rough to begin with, and it got even rougher after going out." Chen Rou continued to complain.
Although he said words of disdain, Han Guobin could see a smile in his wife's eyes.
He also wanted to hug his wife, but she did smell a bit strong at the moment. What he and Li Dayuan did before they came back had made them so excited that they completely forgot to tidy themselves up.
After returning to the county town, everyone couldn't wait to go home.
I really didn't have time to clean up.
Everyone in the village soon knew that Han Guobin had returned, and those who needed tickets naturally came one after another.
Chen Rou had just boiled some water and was about to go into the house to give her son Guo Bin a bath when they came and she returned the tickets to them.
Song Xiaoyu went to work, and Han Guolin came over soon after.
But he was still a step too late. Seeing that everyone was smiling and holding tickets, he held on to his last hope and asked, "Second sister-in-law, do you have any more shoe tickets?"
"There is another one. I was just about to ask the boss to send it to you, and then you came at the right time." Chen Rou said, taking out the ticket from her pocket.
Han Guolin was delighted and asked, "I thought you had already exchanged them all, sister-in-law. How much is it?"
Chen Rou waved her hand: "It's for my third brother's wife, no money required."
"How embarrassing!" Han Guolin said with a smile.
"Hanghang has to work hard for his third aunt to pick him up and drop him off." Chen Rou said.
Han Guolin smiled, and in a blink of an eye he saw the semiconductors that Han Hang and Han Zhou were fiddling with. His eyes widened: "Second brother also bought semiconductors?"
"Yes, all my salary is spent on this." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin, who was taking a shower in the house, came out, carrying the wooden barrel with him. After taking a shower and shaving, he looked a lot darker, but his eyes were sparkling.
Chen Roulao felt that her man must have done something, and he was a little different when he came back this time.
"Brother, how much is this semiconductor? How do you have the ticket?" said Korean Lin Dao.
"I exchanged the ticket with a colleague for 40 yuan," said Han Guobin.
Han Guolin couldn't help but look at the semiconductor, which was really great.
When he got home, he told her about it. Han's father couldn't help but ask, "What, the second son bought semiconductors?"
Han's mother was even more amazing. She immediately stood up and came over. How could she not give her son the semiconductors for them to use!
Chen Rou had just put all her things in order when she saw the old lady coming towards her aggressively.
He also saw the semiconductor on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Mom, you came at the right time. Guobin, this prodigal man, actually bought this thing without my consent. Do you want it? If you want it, I will give it to you forty yuan. I won't make a penny from you!" Chen Rou said.
Mother Han pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Second brother's family, what's the matter? Second brother bought such a semiconductor and you don't plan to honor us two elders?"
"I'm showing my filial respect to you. I won't make a penny from you. If you want it, just take the forty yuan." Chen Rou said.
"Why do you want money? Just give it to us!" Han's mother said, and was about to take the semiconductor.
Chen Rou was quick and took the semiconductor in her hand first: "If mom wants it, go back and get forty yuan."
Mrs. Han came in and exclaimed when she saw the scene: "What are you doing? Why are you here, mother? You are a rare guest."
"Mom asked me to give this semiconductor to her as a gift." Chen Rou chuckled.
Mrs. Han laughed and looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, you are so arrogant. This brand new semiconductor is the only one in the village that bought one, the captain's family, and they spent 42 yuan. And you want it just by asking for it?"
"Where's the second son? You've been out for so long, and when your mother comes here, you're still hiding?" Han's mother said angrily.
The sound was quite loud, and it was like a child crying coming from inside the house.
Chen Rou's face darkened, and Han's wife also said: "Mom, if you come here to cause trouble, don't blame us, your daughter-in-law, for being rude!"
Han Guobin was originally coaxing his son in the house. Now he dressed his eldest son and carried him out.
When he saw that his wife looked unhappy, he came over and took his old son to coax him.
"Mom, I bought this semiconductor for 40 yuan. I can exchange it for you if you want." Han Guobin looked at his mother and said.
"I'm giving this semiconductor to your parents and you're asking for money for it?" Han's mother glared at him.
"I spent all my salary on this. If you want it, you have to exchange it for money. The tickets are not easy to get." Han Guobin said.
Forty yuan? Han's mother just wanted to take it for free. How could she bear to spend money?
He scolded Han Guobin and then left with a gloomy face.
"This old lady is really spoiled." Han Dasao said unhappily, and couldn't help looking at the semiconductor, and said, "I heard that when this semiconductor is turned on, you can hear the broadcast from Beijing?"
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.
Han Hang, Han Zhou and Han Cheng, the three siblings, came back in a hurry and went out to show off their new things to their friends.
This time his face changed.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Rou asked.
"We heard that Nai came here to steal the semiconductors!" Han Hang said with a sigh of relief when he saw that the semiconductors were still there.
"I will be responsible for taking care of Semiconductor from now on!" Han Zhou sat next to Semiconductor.
"You're so naughty, you're stealing things!" Miss Han Cheng also frowned.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to exchange any tickets? They have all been exchanged." Chen Rou said.
"I just came to take a look. I just heard that my second uncle is back. I don't know where the little kids in the village heard it from, but they said he is the bandit king." said Mrs. Han.
"My mother said so." Han Zhou immediately laughed.
"Not like it." Mrs. Han looked at Han Guobin and said.
"Now that I've washed and shaved, I don't look like that anymore. I still looked like that when I just came back." Han Hang said with a smile.
Mrs. Han smiled and said to Chen Rou, "Did Uncle bring back any brown sugar? Give me one bag each."
Chen Rou gave her a bag, and Mrs. Chen stuffed the money into her pocket directly. Before Chen Rou could say anything, she went back with the brown sugar.
"Send it to your mother." Chen Rou opened the candy and grabbed a handful.
"Okay." Han Hang took the candy and handed it over.
Han Guobin brought two bags of milk candy this time. He saved one bag to take back to his parents' home as a gift during the Chinese New Year, and the other bag was for his own use, just to satisfy his sweet tooth.
Chen Rou started to kill the chickens. It was almost four o'clock, so she had to eat early and rest early.
While boiling water, she asked the eldest and second brother to remove the chicken feathers. Chen Rou went into the house to look at the gift Han Guobin bought for her. She hadn't even opened the black bag yet.
After opening it and seeing the thing, Chen Rou's face turned red.
Han Guobin happened to come in and saw his wife watching this, so he closed the door.
Chen Rou spat, "Who told you to buy this?" This thing is now called a bad omen, and will be called a literary omen in later generations. It is made of pure cotton, and there are several of them.
"When I was selling things, the lady in that shop made this at home. She promoted it to me and I bought it for you because it was not expensive." Han Guobin said with a dry cough.
"Selling things?" Chen Rou keenly grasped the key point.
Han Guobin put his old son on the kang and went to get his cotton-padded jacket, which he had bought from outside.
In front of his wife, he opened a secret bag and took out a stack of reunion dumplings.
After putting the stack of money on the kang, before his wife could say anything, he opened another secret bag and took out another stack, which was even thicker than the first one!
