The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 58 (Part 3)

Since Uncle Donkey’s donkey cart was out of stock, he hired a donkey cart from the next village to deliver a lot of food.

Mrs. Han came in the day after the couple went to the city. She brought Chen Rou a lot of dried mushrooms. She didn't sell them but kept them for Chen Rou to eat at home.

Then she complained to Chen Rou: "The old couple was afraid that their family of four would starve, so they moved most of the food from their home here!"

Chen Rou said: "It's their business if they are willing to give."

"It's none of their business. I'm really sick of it. We agreed that the old couple would live with the third wife, and now they just move into the city. If anything happens to them in the future, we will have to take care of them, right?" said Mrs. Han.

This is indeed a problem.

Now Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu have brought their two sons to the county town, and only Brother Han and Sister-in-law Han remain in the village.

If something really happens, can we still expect them to come back from the city to the village to take care of us?

Chen Rou thought it was not very practical.

In the end, isn't it the eldest wife who is blamed? After all, the eldest wife's sons and grandsons are all there.

Chen Rou guessed that this was the reason why Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu were so fearless.

"I've figured it out. The couple in the third room insist on having me in the village. But it's true that I'm in the village, but they can't expect me to go over and serve them. I haven't been treated well since I got married. Song Xiaoyu gave birth to two children, and they had eggs and pork for every meal, and the old lady served them personally. I'm not even as good as a single hair on her leg. If Song Xiaoyu doesn't go over to serve her and wants me to go over, that's impossible!" said Mrs. Han.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't get angry at yourself. The villagers know what's going on." Chen Rou said.

"You don't know because you don't live in the village. When that time really comes, what do you think the villagers will say? They will say that the person is so old and doesn't have much time left. Young people should stop worrying about it and just take good care of him!" said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou was not surprised either. There would definitely be many people in the village who would say the same thing by then.

"Yesterday they transported so much grain into the city. I went to the old house and told them that day not to come to me when you are old and not to call the third wife back to take care of you. When you are old and can't move, I won't go to feed you a single meal!" said Mrs. Han.

She was really furious. In the eyes of the old couple, the third wife was a gold nugget, and the other two wives were nothing but mud!

"The cabinet I made for Tiedan should be finished tomorrow. You can stay here for one night with my fourth sister and Chengzi. When you go back tomorrow, take your uncle's donkey cart and ask him to bring it back to you." Chen Rou said, changing the subject.

Since her eldest nephew Tiedan was getting married, Chen Rou made a cabinet for the young couple. It was a thoughtful gesture and also very practical.

Mrs. Han didn't mention the troubles in the old house anymore. She smiled and said, "It's not necessary. That cabinet is not cheap."

She asked someone to help make one a few years ago. It is very useful and made of good wood. It is still as good as a new one and the craftsmanship is impeccable.

"I don't know if Guobin will be able to make it back in time. Please don't be offended if he can't, sister-in-law." Chen Rou said.

"What's so strange about this? We're busy here, and it will be the same if Han Hang goes back when the time comes." Mrs. Han said indifferently.

"Why did I hear from my uncle that you applied for a residential plot for Tiedan?" Chen Rou said.

"Not only Tiedan, but also Ludan has applied." Han Dasao said, "Now they are still young, they can live in the house for a while, and I can help take care of the children. When they are older, I will separate them and let them live on their own. It will be easy for both of us."

I have to say that Mrs. Han is very open-minded about this.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Tiedan's wife is also very lucky to marry you as her daughter-in-law."

Although she has many problems, her sister-in-law is really a kind person.

"I don't expect anything else, just don't make me angry." Mrs. Han said with a smile.

Mrs. Han stayed for one night. When she returned the next day, the cabinet had been delivered to her. It was a one-meter-long cabinet.

"It's too expensive, too expensive." Mrs. Han liked it so much that she kept saying it.

"Tiedan is the eldest grandson of the Han family. It's normal for him to spend some money on his wedding." Chen Rou said with a smile.

She also brought a bag of candy for Baozhu, who was still studying and had no time to come with her mother, and then sent her sister-in-law back.

Miss Han Cheng told her aunt about this before going to school in the morning. When she got home, she told Sister Baozhu that she would come to her house to stay during the winter vacation and watch TV.

Mrs. Han agreed with a smile.

Tiedan's wedding was held in mid-November.

Tiedan is getting married soon. Time flies so fast. He is exactly twenty-one this year.

Han Guobin didn't make it back in time, and Chen Rou was busy with business, so she asked the boss Han Hang to take half a day off to go back.

Chen Sijie and An Dabang also moved out. They moved out the day after Han Dasao came over last time.

After preparing all the tools, the couple started their business. Following Chen Rou's advice, they started making buns. If buns were difficult to make, they could make dumplings instead.

Instead of waiting until next year as originally planned, we started doing it now.

That place is not close to the bun shop here. It takes twenty minutes to ride a bike there.

Chen Rou said, what has her fourth sister done to her?

It's okay to be across the street.

After all, doing business is a matter of personal ability. As the saying goes, if her fourth sister doesn't open the business, someone else will.

However, Chen's mother said it was better to stay far away. It was other people's business to open their own business, and it would be more reliable to keep one's own business far away.

Chen Sijie said that this is the truth.

Chen Rou didn't say much.

Han Guobin came back relatively late this year. He didn't come back until the end of November, when the snow was about to fall.

It was already late at night when we arrived at the county town.

According to Li Dayuan's idea, he decided to spend a night in the provincial capital. He planned to go to a dark street and have a relaxing night before coming back.

However, Han Guobin was not at ease because there was still cargo in the car, so he drove back directly.

Li Dayuan was let out of the car and went back first. He did not go back to the Transportation Department immediately, but drove to the countryside first.

Brother Chen San asked to sell two more oil presses, but this time Han Guobin bought him four.

When Brother Chen San came out in the middle of the night and saw so many oil presses, he was stunned: "Why did you buy so many?"

"The work of the Ministry of Transport will be moved to the provincial capital in the future. If I don't go there, I will quit my job. It will be difficult to bring it back in the future. So I'll buy two more. I know you can use them." Han Guobin said.

Brother Chen San chuckled and said, "I can use them. I didn't ask you to buy too much because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get them back, so I didn't ask."

Han Guobin helped him move into the house, and left him an electric fan, saying, "This is for my parents. Save it for them to use next summer."

"Okay." Brother Chen nodded and said, "I'll settle the money after I get to the city."

Han Guobin didn't say anything. There was an electric fan in the car, but he didn't go directly to the village. He drove back to the city.

Just take it home and ask Uncle Donkey to bring it back tomorrow.

When he came back late at night, Chen Rou opened the door for him.

Chen's mother in the next room had woken up, so Chen Rou let her go back to sleep.

"Is Guobin hungry?" asked Chen's mother.

"I ate before coming back. Mom, you should go to bed. It's getting late." Han Guobin said with a smile.

Only then did Chen's mother nod and go into the house first. Chen Rou then took Han Guobin back to the house.

Her sister and brother-in-law moved out, and the children went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving Chen Rou alone in the room.

Although she was not hungry, Chen Rou still made him a bowl of malted milk.

"Why did you bring an electric fan?" Chen Rou asked.

"I went back to my hometown and gave my third brother four oil presses, and my parents also left an electric fan for me," said Han Guobin.

Chen Rou understood what he meant as soon as she heard it: "Then send this one to the old house?"

There is no shortage of them at home. There is one in each of the three rooms, which are not used. The extra one will definitely be given to the old house.

"Is it okay?" Han Guobin looked at his wife and said.

Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just give it to me if you want. I can't stop you."

She herself would not give more, but Han Guobin was the son of those old people, and this was a fact that could not be denied. She would generally not stop him from giving her anything, as long as it was not excessive.

After the semiconductor, it was not until now that this electric fan was given. There is nothing much to say about that.

She's not that overbearing.

"Wife, you are so nice." Han Guobin was about to hug her.

"Let me boil some water for you to take a bath. How many days have you not taken a bath?" Chen Rou patted him and said.
