The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 50 (Part 2)

It would be great to have children to play with, so Aunt He went home and got an old mat to spread out on the ground, and then let them play.

Although Han Guobin is not at home, there is no need to worry about the house, as everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

From that day on, after the eldest son, Han Hang, had breakfast and went to school, the second son, Han Zhou, would bring Yaoyao, Chengzi, and the youngest son to the bun shop to play.

Although the distance was not close, there were only two turns along the way, so it was impossible to stop the second brother, who was very agile.

Brother Chen San is very punctual. If his brother-in-law says three days, it means three days.

And I guess they set out at dawn. Look, it’s just past eight o’clock and Brother Chen San came here on his bicycle.

There were two shoulder poles across the back seat, with two baskets tied to them, filled with supplies.

There were a variety of eggs, about thirty pounds in total, which were placed in the basket on the right, while there were even more things in the other basket.

We have tomatoes, cucumbers, green vegetables, cowpeas and beans!

Not only that, there was a chicken coop hanging on the horizontal bar in the front, with two obviously large old hens tied in it. It was obvious that they were too old to lay eggs, so they were sold.

Of course there is also a big bag of dried mushrooms.

This bicycle carries a lot of goods.

"Third brother, thank you for your hard work." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Why bother? I still have a lot of dried mushrooms. I collected them and put them at home. But I can't carry them all here. I thought I'd bring some next time I come. This time I'll take these." Brother Chen San said with a smile.

Chen Rou nodded and said, "It's okay to bring them next time." She asked her third brother, "Whose chickens are these?"

"It's from our third aunt's house. She said it won't lay eggs anymore and she can't bear to eat it, so she asked me to bring it here to sell." Brother Chen said.

"Mother Chengzi, is this your third brother from your mother's side?" Aunt He asked, looking at the old hen with shining eyes.

"Yes." Chen Rou smiled and said, "They delivered it specially for me."

"That's great." Aunt He nodded: "How much do you sell this old hen for?"

"Auntie He, do you want to buy it?" Chen Rou said.

"Do you want a meat ticket?" asked Aunt He.

"No meat ticket is needed, but the price will be a bit higher." Chen Rou said.

"How much is one pound?" asked Aunt He.

The price of chicken and meat in the city is the same. Without tickets, Chen Rou charges 85 cents per pound. If meat tickets are counted, it is more than 70 cents per pound.

Chen Rou knew very well that in the countryside, a pound of chicken costs 60 cents, so even if she sold it, she wouldn't get much.

"How many pounds does this fat one weigh?" Aunt He pointed at the big hen.

No matter how fat the hens were at that time, they were not as fat as the hens in later generations that weighed seven or eight kilograms, and there were few that weighed more than five kilograms.

Aunt He pointed, and Brother Chen San said, "This one weighs four catties and two ounces. After discarding the hair and blood, there's still three catties of meat left. The smaller one weighs three catties and seven ounces, so the pure meat is two catties and six ounces."

"Are you selling chickens?" An old man who was Aunt He's next-door neighbor's eyes lit up and he immediately came over to ask.

"I want this one that weighs 15 pounds and 2 ounces!" Aunt He said without hesitation when she saw him coming.

"Hey, sister-in-law, can you finish such a big one? There are many people in my family, how about you give this big one to me?" said the old man.

"I can't give it up. I have to send some to my nephew's wife." Aunt He waved her hand.

The old man didn't know what to say, so he let the two of them share the two chickens.

Not only did I share the chickens, but I also bought a lot of fresh eggs when I saw them. The price is still a bit higher, but as I said, you don't need a ticket, as long as you have money you can buy them.

Naturally they were not polite.

The country bumpkin Chen Sange got to know his sister's business. There was no need for her to call out, people came in groups of three or four, and before long, most of the goods were sold out.

Brother Chen San was a little dazed.

Chen Rou then remembered and quickly scooped a bowl of soy milk for her third brother and took two buns to eat.

"Although I had breakfast this morning, I'm still a little hungry now. So, I'll be rude to you, Third Brother?" Third Brother Chen said with a smile.

"I didn't think of it just now. I should have gotten it for you when you got here." Chen Rou said.

"I've already eaten at home. Don't tell mom if I eat again here, otherwise she will scold me when I go back." Brother Chen San said.

"Okay." Chen Rou smiled.

Brother Chen San was not polite. Eating buns with soy milk was simply a great enjoyment in life.

Not long after, the second oldest, Han Zhou, came over carrying the fourth oldest, Yaoyao and Chengzi.

"Third uncle!" Han Zhou called out and said to his sister, "This is my third uncle from my grandmother's family."

"Third Uncle!" Orange shouted.

"Good boy, have you eaten yet?" asked Brother Chen San.

"We've had porridge at home." Orange Girl said, "But we can still eat some more."

"Come over here if you want to eat more. Your third uncle has to eat by himself." Chen Rou took the fourth child and asked the second child to take his two younger sisters to sit down. She asked Han Guoli to get them three buns, one for each of them.

Han Guoli said embarrassedly: "Yaoyao has already eaten, so there is no need."

"That's nothing. Yaoyao is the older sister. She will help my second aunt take care of her younger brothers and sisters in the future, so buns are indispensable." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Zhang Yaoyao's eyes lit up: "Second sister-in-law, I will definitely take good care of Chengzi and Lao Si for you!"

"Look how cute he is?" Chen Rou and Han Guoli said with a smile.

Han Guoli had no choice but to give the three of them three buns to eat.

Han Zhou said: "Yaoyao, it's delicious, right?"

"It's delicious." Zhang Yaoyao nodded.

"It must be delicious, thanks to the fact that we are brother and sister, otherwise we would have to charge for it. Chen Bing and the others wanted to eat tomatoes, so I cut them into pieces, just a small piece for each person." Han Zhou said.

"Yeah, I know." Zhang Yaoyao ate the bun in small bites and nodded.

"Then when I go to school, if someone bullies Orange, you have to go up and beat them up." Han Zhou said.

"I... I'm afraid I can't beat him." Zhang Yaoyao almost choked.

"Even if you can't get close enough, you have to beat them. You can't let others think you are afraid, or you will be bullied even more severely. Tell me when I get home from school, and I will stop them and start beating them." Han Zhou said.

"Why teach them how to fight, girls?" Brother Chen San said with a smile.

"What should I do? I have to go to school then." Han Zhou said.

"Don't fight with others. If you meet someone who is bullied, don't play with them. Just take the orange and run to find an adult." Brother Chen San said.

"We can't fight, we need to find an adult," said the Orange Girl.

Zhang Yaoyao also nodded quickly. How could she win by fighting with the other person?

"That's fine, but Yaoyao, you can't run away by yourself, okay?" Han Zhou said.

"I...I won't run. I'll take an orange with me." Zhang Yaoyao said aggrievedly while eating the bun in small bites.

If she runs away by herself, she will never be able to eat buns again.

"Eat it, it's delicious. Look, you've gained weight now." Han Zhou praised casually, "You're getting prettier too."

"Really?" Zhang Yaoyao asked embarrassedly.

"Yes." Han Zhou nodded: "If you don't believe me, ask Third Aunt."

Han Guoli smiled and said, "I gained some weight after moving out."

Having been suppressed at home for more than ten years, Han Guoli finally understands why people want to separate after getting married. It is so comfortable to live alone after separating!

Eating more or less at home is secondary. The most important thing is to feel comfortable, you know?

She makes all the decisions on her own. Now both she and Zhang Jiang have income. They can't have good food and drink, but they can have enough to eat every day and even white flour dumplings once a week!

So whether it is adults or children, their complexion has improved a lot.

Zhang Yaoyao was very happy.

Han Zhou ignored her and started talking to his third uncle. When everything here was almost done, he let Han Zhou take his third uncle home first.

Chen Rou and Han Guoli cleaned up the bun shop and went home after they were done.

Han Guoli took Yaoyao back, and Chen Rou began to reconcile the accounts with her third brother.

Brother Chen San also brought a notebook with him, which recorded the things he brought today. For example, the two feather hens were bought by him and his aunt at 60 cents per pound. Of course, 30% of the weight and blood had to be deducted.

After bringing it here, he gave it to his sister for 70 cents: "I didn't let you suffer a loss, little sister."

His sister sold it at 85 cents per pound, making a little more than him, but he wasn't surprised. After all, his sister had a shop, so it must be much more convenient, and those people were obviously old customers.

You should take advantage of it.

"Nothing wrong." Chen Rou laughed.
