The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 54 (Part 1)

Chen's mother had already arrived, so naturally Han's mother's plan failed.

But she probably overestimated her status. She came over that day and Chen Rou could send her back the same day without even letting her stay overnight.

Chen Rou didn't intend to care about some things. After all, the seniority was there, and she couldn't just feel good for herself. Han Guobin was her son, and the blood relationship between them could not be severed in this lifetime.

Her sons are also grandsons of the old Han family, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

So Chen Rou doesn't care about many things, but that doesn't mean she can just let Han's mother do whatever she wants.

She didn't do any good or merit, so why should she serve her well? She would give her what she deserved, but not too much.

If she dared to come to the city, she would send her back. Even if Han Guobin was at home, she would do so without hesitation.

You can do whatever you want at home, she can't see or hear you, but if you want to come to her house to cause trouble, you have to ask her if she agrees.

This time, Chen's mother did not come alone. She was accompanied by Chen's fourth sister.

It was expected that Chen's mother would come, but it was a little unexpected that her fourth sister would come. However, Chen Rou was also happy and naturally welcomed her.

"Are Anwen and Anwu still in school?" Chen Rou asked.

"They are here. Otherwise, if I don't let them come, they would have to follow me." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

Both of my sons are going to school and will take the high school entrance exam next year.

Neither of them worked hard to begin with, and had no interest in studying at all. They thought it would be more practical to go down to the fields and earn work points.

But their mother said that when they go to high school and have enough academic qualifications, they can learn to drive a truck from their uncle.

Now their eyes lit up, and they were both determined to learn how to drive from their uncle.

Farm work is exhausting. If they can learn to drive, they will naturally choose to do so. Not only is it respectable, it is also a stable job and pays well. So they must make every effort to study hard.

"Bring him here to stay for a while during the holidays, and let your fourth brother-in-law go over and live with your parents-in-law for a few days." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"It will snow by then." Sister Chen said, then looked at her younger sister.

Chen Rou touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mom, have you noticed that my younger sister looks almost the same as when she first got married?" said Chen Sijie.

How could Chen's mother not see it? She hadn't seen her youngest daughter since her family went to the city this year. Chen's mother was also worried about her, but now that she came, she didn't worry about her at all.

Obviously, she doesn't need to worry about it. Her little daughter must be living a good life now. Looking at her, she looks no different from when she got married.

But this year Hanghang is ten years older.

Ten years may sound like a long time, but it feels like just the blink of an eye and it’s gone.

But my daughter hasn't changed much, but she has really grown up over the years.

Mother Chen was very pleased.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Sister Four is getting younger and younger now, isn't she? Brother Four loves you, and Brothers Anwen and Anwu have grown up too. When the time comes, they will love you together."

"I don't dare to count on the two brothers. When they grow up, it's time for them to get married. Once they get married, the wives will belong to others." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

But isn’t this life? This is how it goes on from generation to generation.

Mother Chen held the fourth child in her arms, looked at the big house and said, "I've heard your third brother say that this house is magnificent. Now I come here to see that it's really nice."

"Come into the house and take a look." Chen Rou took the little fourth child from her arms, gave the little guy a piece of steamed cake brought by his grandmother, and let him go play with his brothers and sisters.

Chen Rou brought her mother and sister into the house to take a look.

It is not a brick and tile house like those in the countryside, but it is obviously more grand and spacious, and it has a bit of the shadow of a semi-building. Otherwise, why would it cost so much money? Although the family assets at that time were not as much as they are now, it was not small either. Including furniture and other things, 90% of it was spent on this.

"This house is nice." Chen's mother said with a smile after seeing it.

Fourth Sister Chen also asked: "Now this house is considered bought?"

"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.

"Just buy it. If all the educated youth return to the city in the future, houses will definitely be in short supply. If you buy it now, you don't have to worry about others renting it out at a high price." Sister Chen Si said.

"This room is so bright, why are there so many paper cranes?" Mother Chen asked as she opened Miss Orange's future room.

"The second son folded this for his sister. This room is also reserved for Chengzi. When he grows up, he will have his own room. Mom, you and your sister will live in this room tonight." Chen Rou said as she opened the cabinet, took out the bedding from the cabinet and made the room.

The room is clean. Although no one lives there, it is not dusty. The eldest and second sons come in to clean it every day. The second son, in particular, knows that this is his sister's future room, so he will wipe it with a rag.

"It's really spacious. When your father comes, let him stay for a few more days. The old man will definitely be happy." Chen's mother said with a smile.

"Let Dad stay here. You can go back after the New Year." Chen Rou said.

"It's just this house. If I didn't have to go back to take care of the father and his two sons, I would have wanted to stay for a few more days." Sister Chen Si said.

"That doesn't matter. You and mother can stay here together, and it won't be a problem for your brothers-in-law An Wen and An Wu to go to their grandparents' house to eat for a few days." Chen Rou said.

"Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

"I know, she must be thinking about her brother-in-law. It's okay for one night, but if she's away for too long, she won't be able to sleep well at night." Chen Rou teased.

Sister Chen spat at her.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Rou started to prepare lunch, and Chen Sijie came in to help.

"Why didn't Third Brother come in today? I thought he was going to come today." Chen Rou said.

"Third brother will come tomorrow. We are going to collect the old hens and roosters today." said Fourth Sister Chen.

"Fourth sister, you have seen the current situation. Do you have any ideas?" Chen Rou said while cutting radishes.

"I have the idea, but I'm worried." Chen Sijie was washing pickles and said, "You know, your brother-in-law and I have done farm work all our lives. We only know how to do farm work, so we don't have any confidence in anything else."

Her family situation naturally cannot be compared with her sister's.

Whether her sister's business succeeds or not, it doesn't really matter. If it succeeds, that would be the best, but if it fails, she still has her brother-in-law's job, which is the best way out.

But if she and Dabang came in to do business and failed, they would have no way out and would have to return to the village. Whether they would be laughed at was secondary. The main issue was that it would undermine people's confidence.

"You can make dumplings, so why not go to the city with my brother-in-law and open a dumpling shop? I've been planning to make dumplings before." Chen Rou said.

Nowadays, a steamed bun shop alone is too busy to handle the workload, so naturally there is no time to make dumplings.

As for hiring people, that is not safe, because if you want to control the money, you must have your own people.

Aunt He went over to help at the steamed bun shop, but she had no control over the money, so Han Guoli helped collect it.

Unlike in later generations where people can hire others for anything, it hasn’t developed to that level yet.

So it is very soft so don’t eat too much to avoid being unable to chew it. Just run the bun shop first.

"You make buns and I make dumplings. Isn't this just stealing your business?" Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

"What's the big deal? It's their right to eat whatever they want. Besides, my bun shop only does morning business, and it closes at almost nine o'clock," said Chen Rou.

Besides, if her fourth sister is gone, there will be someone else to take her place, so it doesn’t matter much.

"Not for now, let's wait and see later." Sister Chen Si said, feeling comforted that her younger sister didn't mind.

Chen Rou nodded and didn't say anything more about it. It wouldn't be too late to enter the city in the next few years when the situation improved.

"Rou Rou, where is the big white goose at home?" Chen's mother asked outside.

"When we first came into the city, they asked me to chop it up and stew it," said Chen Rou.

"Why stew it?" Chen's mother couldn't help but ask, "The one at home is still fine. We don't need to feed it. It can find food by itself, and the eggs it lays are delicious."

"I'm not used to living in the city. I'm shy. My family members keep chasing me and nagging me. I've been restless for several days. So I asked Guobin to chop it up and stew it in a pot." Chen Rou said.

"That's true. There are no rivers in this city, so it's hard to get used to it." Mother Chen said, "We have saved some goose eggs at home. When your third brother comes to the city tomorrow, tell your father to bring some goose eggs to Hanghang and the others to replenish their bodies."
