The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 58 (Part 4)

"No need to take a shower. I'll go to the bathhouse tomorrow." Han Guobin said, and then he brought over his bags, one handbag and one wallet.

The wallet was full of money, about five thousand yuan, in stacks.

Chen Rou knew that since he came back so late this time, he must have made a profit, and this amount was not too surprising.

"I exchanged the rest of the money for this bag of watches." Han Guobin took the bag and said.

When Chen Rou saw that he had bought so many watches, she looked at him and said, "Are you going to quit?"

"Well, drive the car back tomorrow and prepare for the handover." Han Guobin nodded.

Chen Rou didn't say anything. She put away the money and the bag containing the watch. She asked him to drink the malted milk and then let him go to sleep.

Han Guobin didn't try to hold on, as he was indeed tired. He hugged his wife and fell asleep.

Chen Rou got up early the next morning, but closed the door again, allowing him to continue sleeping in the room.

Chen's mother also got up early and started cooking.

Chen Rou said, "Mom, you don't have to get up so early."

"I went to bed early at night and couldn't fall asleep." said Chen's mother.

"Then let Guobin fall asleep. If he hasn't woken up by nine o'clock, call him to get up and eat." Chen Rou said.

Mother Chen nodded: "I know, you go and do your thing."

Chen Rou took the electric fan and went out to work, and waited for Uncle Donkey to come over and then asked him to take it back.

Han Guobin slept until half past eight. The children all went to school, and only Chen's mother was left at home watching TV on the sofa.

"Mom, is there any food left?" Han Guobin opened the door and came out yawning.

"Yes, go brush your teeth and I'll heat it up for you." Chen's mother said as she turned off the TV.

She went to heat up the food, and Han Guobin came over to eat after brushing his teeth.

"Why is it that this time you go out so much later than the previous times?" asked Chen's mother, who was sitting next to them.

Han Guobin drank porridge and ate vegetables, saying: "This is the last trip, I was a bit busy, I went to return the car today, and I won't go to work in the future."

"What? You won't be working anymore?" Chen's mother asked hurriedly.

"The Ministry of Transport is moving to the provincial capital, and I can't go with them, so I quit." Han Guobin nodded.

Mother Chen said regretfully, "There is so much money this month."

Han Guobin smiled and said, "I will run the shop with my wife from now on."

"That's good too." Mother Chen felt sorry, but she didn't feel disappointed for long. She nodded and said, "Why don't you go to the transportation department and go to the grocery store? I saw Rourou wait until after nine o'clock to open the store. She hasn't even started the morning market yet. You can go there earlier if you have time."

Han Guobin nodded. After having breakfast, he came to the transportation department.

When the leader saw him coming to return the car, he asked, "Guo Bin, you really don't want to go with us? The children are already so old, and there will be a lot of expenses in the future. You can't just rely on your wife's shop."

Those who have proper jobs still look down upon self-employed individuals.

Han Guobin shook his head and said, "I won't go there anymore. Life here is still okay."

In fact, he felt a little regretful, but since he went to the provincial capital, he estimated that he could only come back one day a week.

If his family really depends on his job, he would choose to continue doing it. After all, being a trader outside is really good.

But his family's financial situation is not bad now, so he has no plans to continue.

As for making money, he has other ways, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

The leader said: "Da Yuan is still following."

Han Guobin also knew that Li Dayuan was still planning to continue working in the Ministry of Transport and was also preparing to go to the provincial capital.

When he got over there, Han Guobin felt that something would happen sooner or later.

On his way back, he listened to Li Dayuan's words and advised him to work hard, come back to the provincial capital to have dinner at home during the holidays, and not go out.

But despite the persuasion, Li Dayuan was obviously looking forward to moving to the provincial capital.

He went to live there alone.

What else can Han Guobin say?

"Do you want to buy this truck? If you want, I'll give it to you for 8,000 yuan." The leader looked at him and said.

Han Guobin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you give me this truck?"

"Yes." The leader nodded.

When we go to the provincial capital, we will have to buy new cars. These ones are a bit old.

Although it is indeed old, the hardware is all good. How many years has Han Guobin been driving it? How could he not know the performance of this car!

"I'll go back and ask my wife for it, and then go back to my hometown to borrow some!" Han Guobin said immediately.

"Go ahead." The leader waved his hand.

Han Guobin drove straight over to find his wife.

When Chen Rou heard that his transportation department actually sold cars, she said, "Then buy it. We just happen to be in need of one."

"Wife, I also told my boss that I want to buy it, but the money is not enough." Han Guobin said, and whispered a number.

"When do you want it?" Chen Rou asked.

"I said I'd borrow some from someone. Any time is fine these days," said Han Guobin.

Chen Rou knew there was no need to rush, so she continued to do her business, and Han Guobin also helped her.

After greeting the guests outside, Aunt He came in to ask Han Guobin about the matters at the Transportation Department. She also heard about it from her nephew.

"I won't go to the provincial capital. Dayuan is going, but I didn't ask Zhou Chuan about it." Han Guobin said.

"We are doing well here, why do we want to move to the provincial capital?" said Aunt He.

"The provincial capital is well connected and much more prosperous than our county town. With the speed of social development today, it is indeed better to develop there." Han Guobin told the truth.

Aunt He asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

"From now on, you can only live off my wife." Han Guobin said with a smile.

Aunt He smiled and said, "You are such a freeloader, but if you quit the transportation department, you can come and look at the grocery store. There are already many customers in the morning, so the store is open early. You have to sell a lot of things."

Although Uncle Donkey delivers supplies every day, the shop still has stocks of eggs, duck eggs and grains harvested in autumn.

We can sell a lot more if we open early in the morning.

Han Guobin nodded. Chen Rou sent him back to eat at noon. Han Guobin brought the food to her after he finished eating, then rode his bicycle with some clothes to change and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

Although the bathhouse in the county town is not as big as the one in the provincial capital, it is also a good place to take a bath.

When Han Guobin came over, Li Dayuan was also there. He smiled when he saw him: "What a coincidence."

Han Guobin also laughed and said, "We just happen to be in need of someone to scrub my back."

The two of them washed and chatted together.

"When I went there, my leader told me, 'You want to buy the car?'" said Li Dayuan.

"Well, our shop needs one, and it's not easy to buy the car we have outside." Han Guobin said.

The car used by their Ministry of Transport has some military elements in it. It is a modified car and is very useful.

Li Dayuan looked around and saw that there were not many people coming to take a bath at this time, only two or three people. He whispered, "Eight thousand yuan, that's a lot."

"We've also asked in the south, and they say one costs more than 20,000 yuan," said Han Guobin.

"That's true." Li Dayuan said. They also asked the truck factory in the south. Although it was brand new, it was indeed too expensive.

"Is there enough money at home?" Li Dayuan asked.

"That's enough." Han Guobin said.

"If it's not enough, please make some noise. I have some private money that I can lend to you for emergency." Li Dayuan said with a smile.

"It's still hiding, but was found by my sister-in-law last time." Han Guobin said.

"She definitely can't find it now." Li Dayuan said indifferently.

What else can Han Guobin say? He has known this old friend for more than ten years. He knows everything else clearly, but this one thing is really dishonest.

"Don't blame me. This is the first time I've seen a man like you. You didn't go in even when you were at the door. You have such a big thing in vain. If you go in, those girls will love you to death and maybe they won't even charge you." Li Dayuan said to him in return.

Han Guobin automatically ignored his nonsense: "We haven't even gone to the Transportation Department yet, and you are about to lose your reputation."

"What do you mean, me? Which of Zhou Chuan and the others didn't go? Really." Li Dayuan said.

Han Guobin was confused and asked, "Are Zhou Chuan and the others going too?"

"We went there together, what do you think?" Li Dayuan was immediately happy: "He knew about that place earlier than I did. Speaking of our Transportation Department, you are the only one who didn't go to see it. It's a waste of time."

Han Guobin: “…” It seems that he is really not sociable.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't want this kind of sociability. He will learn the good things, but he won't learn the bad habits that are infected by society.

Li Dayuan rubbed his bath with him for more than an hour and talked a lot with him. Then they came out together, parted ways, and went back to their respective homes.

Han Guobin went home with his wife in the evening, took the money, and went to see his leader the next day.

Eight thousand yuan, not a penny less, and I got the receipt and the truck's documents.

Although he spent eight thousand dollars at once, Han Guobin was in a very good mood when he drove the truck back home from the transportation department!

Now we have a truck at home!
