The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 46 (Part 2)

There are also pickles, brought from my hometown. As for pork, there is none at home at the moment, but Han Guobin will go to Lao Yang to buy it after get off work in the evening.

Chen Rou came to the backyard to take a look again, took a hoe and started to hoe the ground. It was such a small piece of land, so she could just sprinkle some cabbage seeds and plant them.

After a while, I will go back to the village and transplant some tomato and cucumber seedlings from the village.

Especially tomato seedlings, they can be seen everywhere in the village and there are plenty of them.

Han Hang came back at noon. He came back with Zhang Haohao, but he knew the way here, so he didn't need his cousin to lead the way. He came back by himself from his third aunt's house.

"Brother, how is your classmate?" Han Zhou asked.

"I don't know. I haven't taken the exam yet." Han Hang shook his head.

"Does the teacher have any questions?" Han Zhou asked.

"Yes, I was asked to recite a text in class." Han Hang nodded.

"Have you memorized it?" Han Zhou asked.

"I've memorized it." Han Hang nodded. This lesson established his position in the class and he made several friends in just one morning.

After Chen Rou came back from working in the backyard, she started cooking and eating.

After arriving in the city, the eldest brother Hanhang was obviously under a lot of pressure. After eating and washing the dishes, he went back to study.

He has been helping to wash the dishes at home since he was in the first grade.

Similarly, the second child is going to school this year, and he will have to share the burden then. In addition, he has to help take care of the naughty fourth child.

It’s not enough to just study hard. The conditions are not that good.

Chen Rou had already started kneading the dough, and Han Guoli brought Yaoyao over when she was halfway through.

Let the children play by themselves while Chen Rou and Han Guoli were kneading dough in the kitchen. It was not much, just a few pounds of dough.

But Han Guoli is still a little worried whether it might be too much?

"Not much, just right." Chen Rou said, "If business is good, I'll have to buy two or three more pots in the future."

Han Guoli didn't say anything.

In the evening, Han Guobin did not go home directly after get off work. Instead, he went to the slaughterhouse. It was only half past eleven when he got home after cutting some meat.

Chen Rou came out to open the door for him.

"Now that I don't have to go back to my hometown, I feel a little uncomfortable." Han Guobin said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Chen Rou said sincerely.

She knew that before this, this man would ride his bicycle for two hours after work to go back to the village to be with his family.

"You know I'm working hard, so just be nice to me tonight." Han Guobin said, touching his wife's butt.

Chen Rou's face turned red. She ignored him, picked up the fourth child, helped him urinate, fed him some food, and then let him continue to sleep.

The couple was not afraid of hard work and worked hard in the middle of the night before going to sleep together.

Chen Rou got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to busy herself. After a while, Han Guoli came over and knocked on the door.

Chen Rou went out to open the door for her. Seeing Zhang Jiang, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

"What's the big deal?" Zhang Jiang smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Go back and sleep for a while." Han Guoli said.

"I know." Zhang Jiang nodded.

Chen Rou and her sister-in-law Han Guoli started to get busy, lighting the coal stove, chopping meat, mushrooms and pickles.

Especially lighting the coal stove, which is a technical job, but Han Guoli is very experienced and it is no problem for her.

I was busy until six o'clock and had packed half a box of buns.

"Third aunt, you cook first. There are salted eggs in the clay pot. When you are done cooking, scoop them out for Third Uncle and the others. I'll go out first." Chen Rou said to Han Guoli.

"Third sister-in-law, can you do it alone?" Han Guoli asked.

"Sure." Chen Rou nodded.

The kitchen was handed over to Han Guoli. Han Guoli cooked some food and served it in a pot.

"Hanghang, Third Aunt has gone back first. You should brush your teeth and eat first." Han Guoli came into the room and called her eldest nephew.

"Okay." Han Hang got up when he saw that it was already light outside.

Han Guoli took a pickled egg and some porridge and went back first, leaving it to Zhang Jiang and her son and daughter to eat. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast before rushing to the place her second sister-in-law mentioned.

When I came over, I saw someone had just bought two buns.

"Why did you come here so quickly? Haven't you eaten yet?" Chen Rou was about to give her a bun.

"Keep it and sell it. We'll eat it together when we get back. There's no rush." ​​Han Guoli stopped him.

While they were talking, someone else came over to ask. There was no need to shout, because there was a sign selling buns hanging in front of Chen Rou's bicycle.

The price and food coupons were written on the label. If the price was right, the other party would take the money and food coupons and buy it.

Most of the boxes of buns were sold out in a short while after six o'clock. Not many people came to buy, just two or three. But they were all sold out in about half an hour.

"It's sold out so quickly?" Han Guoli looked at the empty bottom of the box and couldn't help but say with joy.

Today is the first day, and I didn’t make many. Because the buns are quite big, one pound of flour can only make fifteen buns, and I made more than fifty buns in total. How come so many buns were sold out already?

She didn't know how much profit it was, but Chen Rou had an idea.

Excluding food coupons, a bun sold for eight cents, with a profit of a little more than one cent but less than two cents. The buns I bought this morning made about 70 cents in profit.

"Let's go back and have breakfast. We'll make more tomorrow." Chen Rou said as she packed up her things.

"Okay!" Han Guoli was happier than her second sister-in-law. If she took her second sister-in-law's salary, then her second sister-in-law must have earned it, otherwise she would be embarrassed to take it.

It was not yet seven o'clock when I got home, and Han Guobin was just brushing his teeth.

When he saw their aunt and sister-in-law coming back, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" He spoke slurredly because there was toothpaste in his mouth.

"Brother, they are all sold out, more than fifty buns!" Han Guoli couldn't help but say.

Han Guobin was obviously quite surprised.

Needless to say, his wife's cooking skills are impeccable and in no way inferior to those of the master chefs in state-owned restaurants.

But after all, it is a state-owned restaurant and an old brand.

That's why he was worried that his wife would be frustrated, but today it seems that he was really worrying too much?

"Second sister-in-law set out at six o'clock. How long has it been since then? When I went there, one after another came to buy. She made less today. If she made more, I guess they would have been sold out." Han Guoli said.

"Wife, it's okay." Han Guobin rinsed his mouth and looked at his wife and said.

Chen Rou smiled, but also said: "Bring back more pork tonight."

"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.

Han Guoli went home to eat, and Han Hang also went with his third aunt to go to school with his cousin.

After Han Guoli finished eating, she brought Yaoyao here and also brought some food. The main reason was that she didn't have time to go back home to cook this morning, so she just cooked it here and brought the food home.

Chen Rou naturally had no objection. She let Han Guobin take care of the child at home, and Chen Rou brought Han Guoli to the vegetable market.

But the vegetable market at that time was really barren, there was nothing there.

I wanted to buy some leeks and onions, but there were none.

"If the big guys in the city come to the city to sell vegetables, I think their business will be very good." Chen Rou said.

"We can't sell it. There's only a small amount of land on our own. How can we afford to sell it?" said Han Guoli.

Chen Rou nodded, but she was thinking that it should be soon. There might be news about the household contract responsibility system next year.

Han Guoli didn't ask her second sister-in-law how much she earned today, but after what happened today, it was obvious that Han Guoli was much more confident.

Today is the first day, and there will be returning customers in the future. I dare not say that business will definitely get better and better, but it will not be worse than today.

The two of them came across leeks at the black market and bought a bundle. It was very cheap, only one cent for a big bundle.

So the number of buns increased from the original two to three.

That night, Han Guobin came back with two kilograms of pork. Chen Rou got up in the late night, and Han Guoli also came on time.

The aunt and sister-in-law got to work. Practice makes perfect, and they worked even faster than yesterday.

Two bowls of noodles were distributed today. After the wooden box was filled, there was still some left, so she covered the pot. Chen Rou took it out to sell first. After Han Guoli brought food back home, she came over to help her sister-in-law. Sure enough, business today was better than yesterday.

There were quite a few returning customers today.

After they were sold out, Chen Rou rode her bike back to get the rest. Han Guoli was waiting there with a sign, asking those who came to buy buns to wait. She went home to get them and then came over.

Chen Rou quickly came over with the remaining half wooden box of buns. It took her an hour to complete today's business.
