The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 47 (Part 2)
"We are all willing to eat it, otherwise there would be more." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Chen Rou went to the kitchen to steam cornmeal buns, which she ate with scrambled eggs, and had a bowl of kelp and pork ribs soup, and that was it.
Chen Rou made some rice porridge and fed it to the fourth child. After feeding him, she let the boy crawl over to play with his brothers and sisters.
In fact, it means making trouble in the past.
With his eldest brother around, Chen Rou ignored the little fourth child and went into the house to start counting money.
Han Guobin followed him into the house. Seeing his wife taking out the money bag and counting the money, he smiled and said, "Wife, how much did you earn today?"
"I'm calculating." Chen Rou replied.
Excluding the food coupons, I estimated the cost today, and after deducting this cost, I made about two dollars and thirty cents.
The discrepancy of three cents can be wiped out, but there is still a profit of two dollars.
This is based on the price of ingredients in the city. She has not yet taken into account the price difference of eggs that Han Guobin purchases from the countryside.
Chen Rou said she was quite satisfied with the money.
Over the past period of time, I have basically had a stable income like this every day.
And it was because she didn't do more, otherwise she could have earned more, especially after opening the shop, she felt that the amount would definitely double.
However, Chen Rou has no plans to open a store at the moment. She plans to do this for a while.
"Wife, you earn two dollars a day, which is sixty dollars a month. Your salary is higher than mine." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Chen Rou said, "It's not that high now. When our shop opens, you will know."
"Then why not open it now?" Han Guobin asked.
"It will be a while later." Chen Rou said, "Wait until your next day off, and then come with us to support the event."
It is not safe for women to do business alone. If the men in the family do not show up, some people may feel that there is no man after a long time, and it is easy for them to have inappropriate thoughts.
So during the past half month of selling buns, Chen Rou would occasionally ask Han Guobin to pack the buns in the back and send them over.
There's really no need for him to do anything, he just needs to show up and stand there for a few minutes to calm the situation.
In fact, if a fight really comes to a head, Chen Rou is not afraid of men in a one-on-one fight. However, business requires harmony to make money, so it is better to avoid a fight if possible.
"Okay, I'll go there when I'm on vacation." Han Guobin nodded.
Chen Rou put away the money and said, "You take a rest first."
Outside, Han Guoli brought Yaoyao over on time to help knead the dough and prepare the ingredients.
The main thing is to wash the leeks and pickles, then chop the soaked mushrooms, put these ingredients away and save them for the final process tomorrow morning.
"How's things going at your in-laws' side?" Chen Rou asked when her aunt and sister-in-law were busy in the kitchen.
"She still insisted that her nephews were just borrowing the money and they were not going to return it." Han Guoli said while washing the leeks.
"Did she go back and ask for it herself?" Chen Rou asked.
"I went back to ask for it, but I didn't get a single cent back. Her parents told her that she either wouldn't pay it back or the conditions were not good, so she couldn't pay it back. But she will definitely pay it back in the future," Han Guoli said sarcastically.
Anyone with a brain can tell that this is a sign of procrastination. It means that the money will not be returned. It is obvious.
"I heard from Zhang Jiang that when there was a great famine, my mother-in-law had only a few kilograms of rice left at home, and she was reluctant to eat it and had to save it. But when her family came over, she gave all the rice to them," said Han Guoli.
"In my opinion, your father-in-law is also confused. With this precedent, he still dares to keep all the family's money in her hands." Chen Rou said while chopping mushrooms.
We can even give out life-saving food, so what else can we be reluctant to give away?
"Zhang Jiang said that his mother begged for it with tears, and she even swore a solemn oath to my father-in-law, so he let her take charge of it." Han Guoli said.
But the one who regrets the most now is her father-in-law, who has no credibility at home anymore.
"The old couple has no status at home now. If they are not satisfied with something, my two sisters-in-law will just start scolding them. Fortunately, I moved out." Han Guoli said.
"If you hadn't moved out, you wouldn't have known about this." Chen Rou said, "Speaking of which, your eldest brother's daughter had already discovered it a long time ago, why didn't she tell you until now?"
"What else could it be? Isn't it because she's scared of being beaten by her grandma?" Han Guoli said.
The old lady was absolutely biased towards boys over girls. Her son Haohao was a bit better, but her daughter Yaoyao was never full at every meal and was often pinched by him.
She treated her daughter like this, and also the children from the other two families. She often pinched and beat them, so they were all afraid of her.
The aunt and the sister-in-law were busy. There wasn't much work to do, but after all, they were both quick and nimble, so they finished the job quickly.
Chen Rou just sprinkled some salt water on the mushrooms to keep them fresh and that was it.
As for the chopped pickles, don't worry about them, just keep them. Don't cut the leeks. You'll cut them and fry them in a pan when you make dumplings tomorrow.
After dinner in the evening, the whole family went out and came to the park to play.
Every week when Han Guobin has a day off, he goes back to the village in the morning to collect eggs, mushrooms, pickles and so on. In the evening he brings the children here to play and buys them some snacks. They are all very happy.
Even Han Hang, the boss who is a study maniac, likes this moment every week.
Of course, he only relaxes at this time in a week, and he works very hard at other times.
He is currently the study committee member of his class. He took the last exam, but he regarded it as a shame to come in second place by one point.
Now I am studying twice as hard, and I plan to beat the top student in the next unit test and take the top seat myself.
Speaking of which, Chen Rou actually had some admiration for her eldest son.
Because he has very good self-control and is very demanding of himself, the only thing is that he looks a bit serious, like an old cadre.
I have already seen the signs of this at such a young age. I don't have to worry about him not being filial in the future. What I should worry about is whether he can get a wife with such a personality.
It seems that girls nowadays like the romantic type? Obviously, the eldest sister is not that type.
As for the second brother, besides the monkey spirit, the one who dotes on him now is his sister. Not long after this brat came to the city, he came to her and asked her to buy some potion for Yaoyao.
What kind of medicine is this? It's for killing lice.
He frowned and said that he thought children in the city didn't have lice, but he didn't expect that they had lice. Was Yaoyao not clean? Don't let his sister get the infection!
None of Chen Rou's cats have lice, but even if they didn't, she would still have to clean them every once in a while.
There is no way. Other children in the village have the disease and they will be infected if they play together.
Chen Rou went to buy some medicine and gave it to the brothers and sisters. Then she gave the rest to Han Guoli and asked Yaoyao to use it, saying that it was leftover.
It won't hurt people's self-esteem so much.
As for the two little ones below, the daughter is a little spoiled and a little silly, but fortunately she is not too stupid. You will see about the others later.
As for the fourth child, Han Qifan, there is only one word to describe him: just like his second brother when he was a child, naughty!
Not only is he naughty, but he is also cunning. Even though he has just learned to sit, he is very funny when he takes food. He stretches out his hand to give people food, and when people come over to eat, he smiles and takes his hand back to eat himself, smiling and looking at people while eating.
There were several words clearly written in his eyes: I was just teasing you and you took it seriously.
He looks like he deserves a beating.
The fourth child looks like his mother, Chen Rou, but his eyes are obviously the product of innovative genes, and he is even better than his mother.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and even if he wasn't smiling, he looked like he was smiling.
Chen Rou guessed that this boy would be a playboy when he grew up, and from the looks of it, he would become a dandy.
So she has to keep a close eye on him. She had left the first three alone, only pointing out their mistakes and not interfering with other things. But Chen Rou dared not leave this one alone, for fear that he might go out and harm the girl in the future.
And Chen Rou was right to worry. Ever since the little boy started attending the Yuhong class in kindergarten, he knew how to use candies to please little girls. He was also very philanthropic and would give every girl he liked a share, without leaving anyone untreated.
As for the ones he didn't like, there was certainly none of that. He often made other little girls cry because they couldn't get any candy. For this reason, Chen Rou and Han Guobin were often complained by the teachers about this little boy treating female classmates differently, which was unacceptable.
Of course, this is a story for later, so we won’t discuss it in detail here.
