The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 55 (Part 4)

"There are fewer people now. She is here when it's busy. Now she has gone back to cook peanuts." Chen Rou said.

Because today is Sunday, business will be extremely good. The buns are all ready and steamed. The peak period has passed, so Han Guoli went back to work.

"How is my sister's business?" said Korean Lin Dao.

"Not bad." Chen Rou nodded.

Han Guobin didn't say anything. He ate the buns himself and fed them to the little one. Now that the little one was weaned, he ate staple food.

Of course he can eat the buns, and occasionally feed him some soy milk, and the little guy will enjoy eating them.

"Where's Hanghang? Isn't it a holiday today?" Song Xiaoyu remembered and said.

"The eldest brother went to make up lessons. Their school didn't give them a holiday, so they have to make up lessons." Chen Rou said.

The eldest brother had a lot of homework, but Chen Rou didn't think it was difficult to accept, because it was not too much, and as long as he worked hard, he could finish it in more than an hour. It was not as exaggerated as in later generations.

However, once a master accepts you as a disciple, it is up to you to learn the skills, but whether you put in the effort or not is up to you.

"How are Hanghang's grades now? Last time, Han Si was in the top ten in the class." Song Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"That's great." Chen Rou said.

"It took me a lot of effort to teach you how to do it." Song Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Is Hanghang adapting well to the city?"

"He has adapted to it quite well. He's afraid of being outdone by his classmates. He took the exam a few days ago and came third," said Chen Rou.

"Third? Is it because the competition in the class is too fierce? He used to be first or second in the town." Song Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"I am the first in the class, but third in the grade. English is my weak subject," said Chen Rou.

Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Third in the grade?"

"Yes." Chen Rou said, "But he is not very satisfied. He wants his father to buy him English books and materials from the city. He has been working hard on it recently."

Song Xiaoyu was in a bad mood until she returned.

How do you describe that feeling?

It's like there's someone you've always looked down upon, but after not seeing her for a while, you realize that you can't compare to her in terms of family conditions, or in terms of men and sons. The huge gap makes her sad.

The same is true for Han Guolin.

He felt that his second brother and his wife were living such a good life now, and basically no one in the village could compare with his second brother.

He used to be the best-performing of the three brothers, working as the village scorer and accountant. But now he is feeling a bit down.

At night, the couple lay together and began to reflect on their lives.

Song Xiaoyu said, "Guolin, originally our family was the best off among the three families, but now I think my sister-in-law's family is not worse off than ours."

Not to mention the second wife, she had already played tricks on the third wife.

Han Guolin said: "What should we do? Should we go sell buns too? I don't know how to make buns, and neither do you."

"My second sister-in-law is really something. When we went over there, she didn't even give us a bun." Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.

"Didn't we all say we had eaten?" Han Guolin said.

Song Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Even if that's the case, shouldn't we give it to them?"

"It's enough for our son to eat it." Korean Lin said.

Song Xiaoyu didn't mention this anymore and said, "Guolin, let's move to the town. We can't stay in the village forever."

"Going to town will cost me extra money for accommodation, and it will take time for me to go back and forth to the village to work, and you will have to cook when you go to and from get off work," said Han Guolin.

How much more trouble would it take to move out?

Song Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment, and said, "So our family will always be like this?"

"How much money has our family saved now?" Han Guolin asked in a low voice.

Speaking of this, Song Xiaoyu felt slightly proud and reported a figure: more than eight hundred yuan!

For their small family, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Han Guolin immediately said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that my second brother and his wife look so glamorous now, but I think that house will cost a lot of money. It's true that they have to go back and borrow money from the Chen family. There must not be much money left at home, definitely not as much savings as ours."

Song Xiaoyu also comforted herself in this way, but she couldn't help but say: "That house is too good."

"That's great. If I had a job in the city, we could also build one there, but my roots are in the village," said Han Guolin.

What else could Song Xiaoyu say except sigh?

Her family Guolin was not very poor. It was because of his work points that she was able to save most of her salary. Otherwise, she would have spent it.

Forget it, forget it. Don’t compare with the second wife. Compare with the first wife. The first wife is definitely not as good as her family.

Mrs. Han had just collected and hidden away all the family assets, saving exactly four hundred yuan.

We have built a brick house at home, and all the money was saved. This year I saved the most, more than 130 yuan!

Mrs. Han was very happy.

She thinks she can still earn so much next year, and when her two sons get married she can just divide the money up and give each of them 100 yuan. She can't just follow her mother-in-law, right?

But she doesn't want to live with her daughter-in-law either. She comes from her daughter-in-law and they are not of the same mind. So she should go there by herself. Just remember to show respect to her when she gets older.

In fact, many families are living better this year.

However, the most sensational event happened in Laoxi Village, three villages away. A family in Laoxi Village contracted the village's earthen kiln factory this year.

It’s the end of the year, and without any fanfare, I announced that I have become a millionaire.

It was like a bolt from the blue, causing a stir in the surrounding area.

Reporters and the county magistrate all came to take photos and report on the publicity. There is only one such family in the whole county, it is such an honor to the family!

When the news of his becoming a millionaire with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan spread throughout the county, Han Guobin came to deliver bricks and tiles to his elder and second uncles.

I was able to apply this year only because Han Guobin has connections, otherwise it would be very difficult to get in line.

The road we took was not the one towards Laoxi Village, but the one towards Laoyang.

With bricks and tiles, Brother Chen (eldest brother) and Brother Chen (second brother) quickly built the brick house.

It snowed at the end of November, but they built the brick house before that, and both families had moved.

Brother Chen San has been very busy with his uncle recently, but the bicycle is not his, so he talked to his brother-in-law to see if he could sell it to him.

Even though the bicycle was bought many years ago, the quality of it was still very good at that time, and it still looks like new after all these years.

However, Han Guobin refused and said that if he could ride his bike into the city in seven days, he would buy him a brand new one and he could pay for it himself.

Brother Chen San went into the city at the appointed time.

I also saw his brand new bicycle, it was so beautiful, I paid for it without hesitation, and then whispered: "My mother asked me to come in and tell you, if you become a millionaire, don't tell anyone, just be happy about it secretly, otherwise you will attract thieves."

"Ten thousand yuan?" Chen Rou laughed: "I do want to."

Han Guobin also laughed. Although his family was well off, they were still some distance away from being a millionaire with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan.

"That's what I mean." said Brother Chen San.

"Has the Mo family in Laoxi Village been robbed?" Chen Rou asked.

"It's true that they attracted thieves. I heard that two kettles were stolen in the middle of the night. The money was well hidden so there was no loss." Brother Chen nodded and said, "Someone even threw dead cats and mice into their yard."

"After all, he is a celebrity who has been reported in the newspaper. Is there anyone who dares to do this?" Chen Rou frowned.

"Once you get jealous, who cares whether you are a celebrity or not, or whether you are in the newspapers?" said Brother Chen San.

Everyone in the village is not well off except your family which is extremely wealthy. How could those jealous people not cause trouble?

It didn't really do anything wrong, but this toad or toad on the back of your foot, it doesn't bite you but it annoys you.
