The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 44 (Part 2)
Zhang Haohao also felt that it would be too embarrassing if that really happened: "I will definitely work hard next year!"
Han Zhou said: "Do you want to go out and play now? My sister wants a snowman. Can you come with me to make one?"
"It's so cold outside." Zhang Haohao refused.
"You are my cousin, why don't you help your younger brothers and sisters build a snowman when they want one?" Han Zhou said.
"Help, help, help." Zhang Haohao said quickly.
"Brother, let's come out and build a snowman together." Han Zhou called to his elder brother.
"No, I still have a text to memorize, and my mother asked me to finish it today." Han Hang shook his head.
Zhang Haohao couldn't help but admire his cousin. It was worthy of him to get over 90 points. This was the highest score in their class. He even had to recite the text during the Chinese New Year.
The children went out to make snowmen. Zhang Jiang said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, you taught the children really well."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "No one taught me. I am so tall, I don't know who I learned from."
She was not too deliberate about her children's education. She was only responsible for pointing out their mistakes and strictly requiring them to correct them. She did not interfere too much in other matters.
Not to mention Han Guobin, who is often not at home and has basically no time, and he spoils the children even more than Chen Rou.
I guess he didn't receive much love in the past, so now he loves his child even more.
"Are my second brother and his wife going to move into the city next year?" Zhang Jiang asked.
"If we want to move, we'll have to trouble Third Aunt to help us find a yard and a shop." Chen Rou said.
"Lili and I are both looking for one. The store showed me a place that should be very good, but we haven't found a yard yet." Zhang Jiang said.
"I heard about the store from your second brother, and he agreed." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin told her when he came back yesterday that if he opened a shop on the street it would definitely attract attention and would not be too bad.
Now that it is almost the end of the year, Chen Rou has put it aside for the time being. After the new year, she plans to buy the shop and directly transfer the ownership to her own name. She has no plans to rent it out. After all, it is not easy to move a store business, otherwise the popularity of the previous business will be almost gone.
Buy it and you will have it solved once and for all.
"Third aunt said that we will split up and move out next year?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's time to split up." Zhang Jiang nodded.
Several times, my wife and her sisters-in-law had such fierce quarrels that their brothers were about to fight, but the place was really too small.
Moreover, many of the properties of his neighbors on both sides have been divided out, except for the Zhang family, which still has one piece.
It is lively, but there are troubles every day, so it would be better if we could separate them.
"I heard from Lili that you will go to the city to do business next year, second sister-in-law?" Zhang Jiang asked.
"Yes." Chen Rou nodded: "If Third Aunt has nothing else to do, she can come to my place to help first. I will pay her a salary."
Zhang Jiang hesitated and said, "Second sister-in-law, do you really want to cook? There are state-owned restaurants for food."
Not to mention Han Guobin, even Zhang Jiang was not optimistic. With state-owned restaurants around, why would people go to a private restaurant?
As for breaking the law, it is no longer illegal. The policies for economic development have been introduced, and this year his wife has let loose to sell her products, and there is no one patrolling and no one catching her.
Chen Rou said: "There are also supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls for selling other things, so how can we not be competitive? If the food I make is delicious, people will eat it three times a day, and the business should be able to get by."
Zhang Jiang didn't say anything seeing that she had made up her mind, but he undoubtedly also hoped for the best for his second brother and his wife.
Given the care his second brother and sister-in-law give his wife, if he could gain a foothold in the city, they would definitely help his wife.
After sitting here for a while, Zhang Jiang went back. The father and son each ate a bun filled with pickled vegetables and pork, which was very delicious.
Zhang Jiang felt that if he tried to sell these buns, they might actually sell well.
Chen Rou made a lot of buns this time, including three kinds of buns: pork and pickles, pork and cabbage, and pork and mushrooms.
At noon, we drink porridge and eat steamed buns, and at night we have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Nowadays, every family has their own New Year’s Eve dinner, but no one goes to the old house because there are so many children and there is no room for them to sit there.
After Chen Rou finished eating, she went into the house to feed Lao Si. Seeing Han Guobin coming in after finishing eating, she said, "Kill all the fish. I'll stew them later."
Han Guobin nodded. He sat and watched his eldest son eat for a while before going out to kill the fish.
After he left, Chen Rou spat softly, then said to her son, "Don't be like your father when you grow up. He's just a hooligan."
I just stared at it, but it was not good.
The fourth child didn't care about all that. He ate when he was hungry. After eating, he asked his mother to pat his burp. Then he lay down and started playing by himself. After a while, he yawned and fell asleep.
Han Guobin had already killed the fish, and Chen Rou put it directly into the pot to stew it. The other dishes were basically ready, except for this one.
Mrs. Han came over and gave red envelopes to Han Hang and his brothers, then she told Chen Rou that Third Aunt had given them a bag of candy.
Chen Rou said that she also brought a bag over here. Han Dasao knew it. She saw it all. Third Uncle went there first.
The two sisters-in-law had been chatting for a while when Han Guoli came over.
"Third aunt is here." Mrs. Han said with a smile.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Third Aunt looks very good this year."
Han Guoli was also happy. She had made a lot of money in the last period of this year. At least after moving out, she would have some security.
Isn't this just like being in a good mood when something good happens?
Three women in one drama, naturally there is a lot to talk about.
Especially Mrs. Han, with her around, there is basically no need to worry about gossip. Didn’t she just whisper about something that has been controversial in the village recently?
It’s just that Li San’s son doesn’t look like Li San, but looks more and more like the unrelated Zhang Si.
In particular, Li San's wife was spotted coming out of a corn field with Zhang Si. Now the rumors are getting more and more intense, and some even say that one day they saw a white butt in the corn field.
These things have added a lot of color to the village this year.
Chen Rou also heard a few words from Zhou Zhen, but they were all the vulgar words of the idlers in the village. She said, "It's nothing, sister-in-law, don't talk about it with them."
"What is a shadowless thing? If you see the child, you will know it. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance." Han Dasao said, "And I have said a long time ago that Li San's wife's eyes are always moving around. She is not a quiet person. I also heard a piece of news."
"What news?" Chen Rou was not very interested, but Han Guoli just wanted to hear the village gossip.
"Before Li San's wife married Li San, she had been with a gangster in her village, and it seemed that she had an abortion for that gangster!" said Mrs. Han.
"Is there such a thing?" Han Guoli asked in surprise.
"It's been spread these days. I don't know whether it's true or not, but someone went to ask and said that she was indeed very close to more than one person before she got married. She was also close to a male educated youth from her village. It was also heard that she went to the mountains to collect firewood with a male educated youth, and when she came out, her clothes were disheveled and her face was red, and someone saw her." said Mrs. Han.
"Then why didn't Li San choose a good one when he married her?" Han Guoli asked.
"It's good enough for Li San to marry a wife. He is short and thin, and only earns five work points, which is less than his wife. He is also a lazy worker. How can a good man be interested in him?" said Mrs. Han with a sneer.
"So how do we solve it now?" Han Guoli asked.
"I heard from Shuanzi's wife that Zhang Si gave Li San ten yuan and Li San didn't care about it." Han Dasao whispered.
"How come Shuanzi's wife knows everything? Shouldn't this matter be kept secret after the reconciliation?" Chen Rou asked puzzledly.
"What secret? Zhang Si asked Shuanzi to give the ten dollars to Li San." said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou's mouth twitched, her IQ was low.
Han Guoli asked: "Is this matter over?"
"How is this possible? Li San's wife Zhang Si will definitely use it in the future." Han's wife revealed such shocking news.
Chen Rou and Han Guoli were both shocked: "What's going on?"
"You may not know this, but the ten yuan was not given for free." Mrs. Han said, and told her about a similar incident that happened in her hometown village.
The lover gave money to the husband, and the husband tacitly acknowledged the affair between the lover and his wife.
Chen Rou: “…” This world is no less chaotic than her own apocalyptic world.
Han Guoli's eyes twitched as well. Only after Han Dasao said this did she go back satisfied.
If you only know how to enjoy gossip, you must share it. But the second child's family is not like that. They never gossip.
Basically, once anything reaches her, there's no way it can be spread out. It almost ends here.
"My sister-in-law just likes to talk about these things. Just listen to her and ignore her." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Han Guoli also laughed.
