The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 57 (Part 1)

With Han Guobin's return, the missing atmosphere in the family returned.

And this time, the money that the man brought back was also kept carefully by Chen Rou.

How much money did Han Guobin bring?

I brought back more than 3,000 yuan on this trip.

Not only were there more than 3,000 yuan, but there were also several TV tickets, plane tickets and overseas remittance coupons.

Over the years, our family has bought a lot of things. We have two bicycles in total, one 280 and one 240.

In addition to bicycles, there is also a washing machine, which was brought back by Han Guobin from the south two years ago. Now, we basically use the washing machine to do laundry at home.

The rest of the tape recorders, large clocks, etc. were also completed in the house.

Now I want to buy a TV.

Han Guobin asked her last night. A few years ago, Chen Rou would not have agreed. In fact, even now, she thinks it is too expensive.

But given our family's current financial situation, we no longer have to worry about the cost of a TV.

So I agreed to let Han Guobin buy it.

Han Guobin no longer liked the black and white TV and wanted to buy a color TV, but color TVs were only available in the provincial capital.

The next afternoon, he came to Lao Yang's pig farm.

Old Sheep is here too.

Nowadays, Lao Yang’s pig farm is quite large.

But as for making money, it was only in the past one or two years that we started to make any money. A while ago, a bastard tampered with the pig feed and added rat poison to it, which killed most of the pigs in the farm.

Lao Yang’s hard work was almost all lost.

After that bastard was sent to the police station, Lao Si and Monkey also greeted him. It is said that he was beaten badly in there and there is no way he will get out within ten years.

However, because of that incident, the old sheep was seriously injured. After all, those pigs were about to be slaughtered.

How much money and effort had he invested? But it was destroyed in one day. Lao Yang wanted to chop that bastard to pieces.

The remaining pigs were only a small part, and they couldn’t even make back the original cost, so they still suffered a lot of losses.

But since then, Lao Yang's pig farm has become a forbidden area. He has seven dogs raised here, all of which can bite people to death!

Anyone who dares to climb over the wall and enter his pig farm will be bitten to death.

Later, there was a pig thief, but he was badly beaten by the old sheep, and everything was peaceful after that.

Until now, it has been profitable.

Han Guobin still has shares in this pig farm. The scale of this pig farm is much larger than that of Han Guogang's.

I invested 400 yuan in the beginning, and now I can get about 1,000 yuan every year.

Old Sheep heard the voice and came out. Seeing it was him, he led him in and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday." Han Guobin said.

Lao Yang took him in to see the pig farm and said, "The scale of our pig farm is now almost finalized."

Two hundred pigs, considering the current environment, it is a truly large pig farm.

"Is it disinfected?" Han Guobin almost choked when he came in, the smell was so strong.

"Of course there are three people I hired who have to clean the pigsty every day and spray disinfectant." said the old sheep.

Now this pig farm is our own, not public. Lao Yang has been raising pigs for so many years, so he should know that pigs are prone to get sick if they are raised too much.

Once the disease occurs, it will be contagious, and then the entire pig farm will be destroyed.

Therefore, the pigpen must be cleaned every day, and it goes without saying that it must be disinfected and ventilated.

But pigs will always smell like this, no matter how clean they are.

Han Guobin followed him over to sit in this side of the room.

Lao Yang asked about the situation outside, and he listened to the development of the situation outside. Han Guobin naturally did not hide it. Finally, he took out the TV tickets, plane tickets and overseas remittance coupons he brought back. He kept his own and would bring them back from the provincial capital when he got to work.

You can buy two TVs here.

Even now, you still need a ticket to buy a TV, especially a large color TV, which requires overseas remittance coupons.

Lao Yang's family bought a TV a long time ago, and it was Han Guobin who brought back the ticket. His family is the only one in the village that has a TV. Every day when the TV is turned on, there will be people gathering around.

He felt a little annoyed, but his wife was obviously quite pleased with herself and ignored him at all. She was quite happy and let everyone watch.

Lao Yang took it from him. There was no problem selling such tickets.

"Are you still planning to work in the transportation department? Have you ever thought about striking out on your own?" Lao Yang didn't have any money on him, so he wasn't in a hurry to settle the bill next time and asked.

Han Guobin said: "I think the Ministry of Transportation is almost the same as the state-owned restaurants. They won't last long."

Speaking of this, Han Guobin couldn't help but admire his wife's vision.

When he was planning to open a steamed bun shop, his wife told him that the business model of a state-owned restaurant would not be able to continue and would be replaced by individual businesses.

As expected, the state-owned restaurant in the county closed down this year.

The supply and marketing cooperatives are still standing strong, but business has also declined significantly.

Who asked for the emergence of so many self-employed individuals out there?

Especially this year, people can buy grain directly from individual businesses. Individual businesses don’t even need tickets to buy grain. As long as you have money and they have grain, they will sell it to you!

Who would want to see the sour faces of those sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative if there are other options?

There are also some factories in the county that are about to go bankrupt, and their jobs are in jeopardy.

Zhang Jiang was relatively lucky as his factory was contracted out to someone else, so he could continue to operate. However, some other state-owned enterprises were already swaying in the storm, and Han Guobin saw that they were not far from collapse.

The same thing goes for Han Guobin's Ministry of Transportation, which has begun to go downhill.

"You should have quit a long time ago. It's better to open a shop with your wife than drive that car. It only makes so much money a month." Lao Yang said.

Han Guobin said with a smile: "When I quit the transportation department, I will go and hang out with my wife."

He has worked in the Ministry of Transport for more than ten years, so he must have some feelings for the job. But of course, feelings cannot be relied upon.

The main reason is that he can make some money every time he goes on a business trip, but Lao Yang and the others don't know about these things. At most, they just know that he makes some money by getting TV and air tickets.

Nowadays, I have to travel on business several times every year. When I am most profitable, I can bring back more than 3,000 yuan, and when I am least profitable, I can bring back more than 2,000 yuan.

This is still very profitable.

"You are lucky to have chosen such a wife. I have never seen such a capable woman. With two shops running, I estimate that you can earn at least 300 yuan a month." Lao Yang said with a smile.

"Not that much, about two hundred yuan." Han Guobin said modestly.

Of course it is more than two hundred yuan. The last time I heard his wife do the math, he could make about three hundred yuan a month from the steamed bun shop, and the profit from the grocery store might be more or less, but on average, he could make more than five hundred yuan a month.

The average monthly income of the two shops is about 800 yuan.

Moreover, his wife also bought a third shop, but it has not opened yet. Only he knows about it, and no one else knows about it.

"That's easy for you. With your wife supporting you like this, you can just sit at home and eat gigolo meals." said the old sheep.

Han Guobin said: "That won't do. That's ridiculous."

Last night his wife told him to quit his job in the transport department and open a shop to sell pork?

The money I earn in a year is not as much as making extra money by driving long distances, but it is still easy.

The family has saved a lot of money over the years, and Chen Rou doesn't want him to be too tired.

After all, I'm getting older, I'm forty years old. Even if I've taken good care of myself, I can't compare with how I was a few years ago, right?

So Han Guobin asked his wife to see if he could still compare to a few years ago.

Facts have proved that this cow is not old and its energy in plowing the land is still as strong as before.

After staying here for more than an hour, Han Guobin rode his bike back to the city.

It was getting late, so he came straight to the grocery store.

Chen Rou is ready to close the shop as most of the items have been sold.

She saved some of the remaining food and took it home to eat.

When she saw him coming, she smiled and said, "Just give me a ride home."

Han Guobin was waiting for her at the door. Chen Rou packed up and got on his bicycle with the basket of vegetables.

When the couple returned home, Han Laosi was playing glass beads with the neighbor's children at the doorstep, and he was all dirty.

The second oldest, Han Zhou, went somewhere unknown, while Han Cheng, Yaoyao and two other girls were throwing sandbags in the yard.

Even when the adults are not at home, the house is still very lively.

"Dad, Mom." Han Laosi shouted and continued to aim at the glass beads.

Han Guobin and Chen Rou came into the room, and Han Cheng and Yaoyao both called for help.
