The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 56 (Part 1)

The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 56 (Part 1)

After moving to the city, Chen Rou seldom had time to go back to her hometown. She would only go back for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

Clean the old house, interact with the villagers, etc.

But everyone saw the changes in Chen Rou.

Guobin's wife is really looking more and more like a city person. Just look at her temperament, it's very extraordinary.

She dresses well and is getting older, but Guobin's wife is getting younger and younger.

Not only Guobin's wife, isn't Guobin himself the same?

It has been several years since he came to the city. He should be 40 years old now, but compared with his peers in the village, he is at least five years younger.

Over the years, two or three families in the village have left the village, but none of them have developed better than Han Guobin.

But Han Guobin is not the only one who is doing well. There are also people in the village who are doing very well.

For example, Han Guogang, who was abandoned by Ye Zhiqing many years ago, immediately contracted the pig farming business after the village pig farm closed down.

It takes two years to raise ordinary pigs, or at least a year and a half before they can be slaughtered. However, he only took one year to raise five big fat pigs.

After those five big fat pigs, the business got out of control. It expanded from the original five to ten the following year, and then to fifteen. Now, there are a total of twenty pigs in the pig farm.

I also found someone to help me in the village, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself.

He was also a hard-working person. He moved directly to the pig farm and lived there with young people recruited from the village.

The price of pork is rising every year. Generally speaking, a pound of pork costs 80 or 90 cents. Live pigs are cheaper. After all, people who buy pigs and sell meat also need profit margins. A pound of live pigs costs 50 cents.

But it only takes one year to raise a pig from a small one into a big fat pig weighing over 130 kilograms. How much money does it cost?

Especially in the last two or three years, the price of pork has increased by two or three cents. If the pig farm expands to 20 pigs, how much money will it make in a year?

The villagers used an abacus to do some calculations.

Although he does not meet the standard of a millionaire with a net worth of 10,000 yuan, everyone in the village knows that Han Guogang must be wealthy.

At the end of the year, you have to save at least a thousand yuan, which is equivalent to an income of nearly a hundred yuan a month. Is there any need to say whether this is easy to earn or not?

However, pig farming in South Korea was not all smooth sailing, and some major incidents occurred at the pig farms.

Two years ago, someone went there and tried to steal pigs. Han Guogang fought with him desperately and even chopped off his hands and feet.

In fact, if you don’t hide quickly, you won’t be able to steal the pig’s hands and feet.

That year was a year of severe crackdowns. The pig thief was put in jail, and Han Guogang, who injured someone, was also put in jail. Second Uncle Han asked Han Guolin to ride a bicycle into the city overnight and ask for help directly from Han Guobin.

It was Han Guobin who rescued Han Guogang safely, and also let the villagers know that he was really successful in the city.

As for those pig thieves, none of them could escape and all were sentenced to heavy penalties.

Who says it’s a good time?

After this incident, Han Guogang has grown up as a whole person, and he has also made a statement to the outside world that whoever dares to attack his pig farm will have to step over his dead body, otherwise he will leave the dead body behind!

It's really cruel.

But it’s true that because of his iron-blooded attitude, the pig farm became peaceful afterwards.

In addition to Han Guogang, there is another one, the He family.

Mr. He's family initially raised two geese, but after the reform and opening up, they started raising ducks.

Because there happened to be a river not far from his house, it was extremely convenient. He raised hundreds of ducks. Not to mention the duck eggs, even if he sold all the ducks at the end of the year, how much money would he make?

So everyone in the village said that the He family had become rich.

But the He family did become wealthy. They built a big brick house and surrounded it with a large yard. It was very impressive and it was impossible to buy it without a thousand dollars.

These two families are relatively prominent breeders in the village. Of course, there are other families, such as Dagui and his wife, who have contracted a lot of land.

The couple were the type who usually took their time. They would work faster if someone urged them to, but when no one was around, they would immediately become lazy.

But since the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, the villagers have been impressed.

The contract was signed at the end of the previous year, and the couple harvested in October of the following year. The amount of grain they harvested was so amazing that the villagers were amazed. Only the wealthy families in the village who had not split up could catch up with them, and the rest could not harvest more than them!

Even the team leader, who should now be called the village party secretary, could only shake his head and sigh.

Of course, Zhou Zhen, Cai Lihua, Han Dasao and their families are all good and have good prospects for prosperity.

But to be honest, Han Guobin's family, who were the first to leave the village, have the best development.

Everyone in the village knows that Han Guobin now has two shops in the city.

Speaking of the shop, one has to admire his wife, Wang Jia.

Han Guobin is a good and capable young man, but the main reason for the development of this family is his wife.

When the steamed bun shop was opened, no one in the village was optimistic about it, but Guobin's wife wanted to open one, and she didn't care about other people's opinions and just opened it.

After the opening, it was out of control, and now it has developed into two shops. And nowadays, no one says anything bad about doing business, everyone knows that self-employed people can make money.

The steamed bun shop is still the same steamed bun shop, but the other shop is specially used to sell various grains, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, eggs, etc. collected from the village.

The village party secretary asked Han Guobin more than once, "Have you become a millionaire?" If you have, please report it immediately.

Over the years, there are two or three people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan. Last year, there were as many as six people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan.

But there is not even one person in this village with an annual income of 10,000 yuan.

The one who has developed the best is Han Guobin, so don’t we have to rely on him?

So whenever he returned to the village, the village party secretary would ask him about it, but Han Guobin always said no, it was not that easy to make money, and that business in the village was not profitable.

The village party secretary believed him at first, but later he realized that this guy was scheming and didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't want to report it.

The two shops are making money, and the grain and other things collected by the villagers are all sent to him. With so many things, how is it possible that he hasn't become a millionaire?

His wife's two shops are like golden hens that lay golden eggs.

The old man driving a donkey in the village is considered an employee of Han Guobin. After the spring began, he started driving a donkey cart to deliver supplies every day.

When the grain from the summer and autumn harvests came in, he would transport 500 kilograms of grain every day.

The village party secretary also asked Uncle Donkey how much money Guobin gave him every month.

In fact, it was Chen Rou, not Han Guobin, who hired Uncle Donkey. However, they are a couple, so it doesn't matter who hired him.

However, Uncle Donkey never revealed a word to the outside world, but it was obvious that Uncle Donkey liked this job very much.

At first, the salary Chen Rou gave was not high, only 20 yuan, but later it was raised, and now it is 40 yuan a month.

The salary level in their county is definitely not low, but it is certainly not very high either.

For example, Han Guobin’s salary in the Transportation Department has been raised to 120 yuan per month, and even Zhang Jiang’s salary is 60 yuan.

But delivering goods is not a difficult job. You only make one delivery a day, and the salary is not low.

For example, at this moment, Uncle Donkey is driving his donkey cart into the city.

It was not early at this time. We left home at around six o'clock. The donkey cart was not moving fast, so it was almost nine o'clock when we arrived in the city.

It is now the beginning of July, the hottest time of the year, but it is also the season when fruits and vegetables are most abundant.

Look, the donkey cart is full of fruits and vegetables, and of course half a basket of eggs and half a basket of duck eggs.

"Uncle, you're here." Chen Rou had just closed the steamed bun shop, and came to the grocery store with a kettle in her left hand and Lao Si in her right hand. She smiled when she saw Uncle Donkey.

The naughty boy, the fourth brother, broke free from his mother as soon as he saw the donkey cart and rode on the donkey without saying a word.

"You little bastard, I'll let the big donkey kick you later and see if you still have the nerve to do this!" Chen Rou scolded with a smile.

A few years have passed, and Chen Rou's appearance has not changed much. You can't tell that she is a 38-year-old woman. She is in her early 30s at most. She has fair skin and her figure has not changed at all. She looks very young.

"I am most familiar with Dahei, how could Dahei kick me?" Han Laosi said, turning around and taking a carrot from the basket to feed the black donkey. This was the name he gave to the donkey, named Dahei.

Every time he saw the big black donkey, he would feed it carrots. If there were no carrots, he would feed it white radishes.

Even the big black donkey was very familiar with him, after all, it particularly liked to eat radishes.

Han Laosi is just about to go to elementary school this year. There is simply no one more annoying than this kid. Just thinking about what he did in kindergarten in the past few years, Chen Rouguang really doesn't know how she got through it.

The old man watching him feeding the donkey with a smile. The first time he told him not to feed the donkey and save the radishes to sell, but now he was used to it and just ignored him. After all, the boss lady didn't stop him.

He took out a notebook, on which was recorded the weight of the supplies on the donkey cart today.
