The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 66 (Part 3)

Otherwise, how could we be so busy here? Even if Chen's mother didn't go back to help in the shop, there wouldn't be enough manpower.

Tiedan and his wife are also busy. Tiedan's wife also has to take care of their daughter, but it's not easy.

It's the same in Han Guolin. Now he has to ride a bicycle back to his hometown every day to transport mutton back.

He would kill one every day and come to sell it in Zaicheng. The purchase price was not too high, but he could make a lot of profit from the sales.

The profit is several times higher than that of selling pork. After all, pork has gone through middlemen. The sheep raised by Cai Lihua and Han Guoming are first-hand, so they make a lot of money.

Song Xiaoyu said that it was too tiring and asked him to stop selling, but Han Guolin worked very hard.

Pork is easy to sell at the end of the year and can usually be sold out in one morning.

After lunch, he rode his bicycle back to his hometown to collect sheep. The next morning, he sold the mutton together with the pork without worrying about it going bad.

This day is the best frozen.

When calculating the profit after selling the first sheep, Song Xiaoyu was stunned: "How can there be so much money?" The profit from one sheep is almost twenty yuan.

How much profit can you make from selling a pig? If you sell one pig a day, you can make a profit of 180 yuan a month. Of course, this is assuming that you don't eat free meat at home. If you bring meat home every day, you can only make about 130 to 150 yuan a month.

On average, the profit of a pig is about six dollars.

One sheep is almost as good as three pigs.

"The profit margin of pork is too low." Song Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.

"Other meat stalls also sell pigs at the same price, and they have to make a profit when they buy pigs. They send the pigs directly to my stall to be sold." Han Guolin was not too surprised.

Since the profit is so high, Song Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't stop it.

Han's mother was still there at this time. She planned to stay until the New Year and then go back with her son and daughter-in-law.

"Second son, you too, can't you just ask Donkey to help carry such a big truck here? Why ask Guolin to go back by himself?" Han's mother was also reluctant to let him go out in such a cold weather, and said.

Song Xiaoyu pouted and said, "Who said it wasn't? I went to ask my second sister-in-law. It's only one sheep a day, and that's only 50 to 60 kilograms of meat. It's okay to bring it all over, but my second sister-in-law said there's no room!"

How much land can a sheep occupy? Can't you go back to the village to collect chickens and ducks and bring them here?

Song Xiaoyu felt that this meant he didn't want to help.

The truck is indeed not small, but it is really busy nowadays.

Of course Song Xiaoyu was not wrong in her guess. Chen Rou really didn't want to help. They each had their own business, so she shouldn't take it for granted that he was ordering her around.

Trucks transport peanut oil and grain every day. Recently, the grocery store has even added barrels of vinegar and soy sauce. They are all bought from Lao Yang's accomplice, a man named Lao Zhu, and the purchase price he gives is very good, provided that you buy them yourself.

So the family truck was busy, and Han Guolin rode his bicycle back to his hometown to collect mutton. Chen Rouzhen didn't think it was a big deal, because it was his own business.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dayuan returned from the provincial capital and brought a large color TV to Han Guobin.

After paying Li Dayuan the money, Han Guobin asked Lu Dan to drive back to his hometown to transport the goods and then return the money to Brother Chen San.

Li Dayuan didn't make any money from Han Guobin, but Han Guobin couldn't let his hard work go in vain, so he gave him a leg of lamb. Li Dayuan was very happy and said with a smile: "I just feel a little weak recently, so I need to replenish my energy."

Han Guobin said: "I haven't learned my lesson from last time."

"Remember this! You can't catch me again." Li Dayuan said with a smile.

As for why they couldn't catch him, Han Guobin didn't ask. As he was busy at the end of the year, he just asked Li Dayuan to come over for tea when he was free during the New Year and didn't keep him any longer.

I was busy from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month to the twenty-sixth or twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and only then did I finish. On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the grocery store was closed and the bun shop was also closed.

The only one left is the grain and oil shop owned by Tiedan and his wife, and the grain and oil shop’s business will continue until the 29th.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the children went back to their hometown first. Chen's mother also lives there until now, and Ludan drove her back with her.

Han's wife Zhou Zhen and others came over and took Han Hang, Han Zhou and Chengzi to clean up the house first.

Chen Rou and Han Guobin had not returned yet, so the couple did not cook and went straight to the next room to eat with Chen Gongan and Ma Yuling.

The two families have a very good relationship now. After dinner, they watched TV together. Ma Yuling said, "Now that your family has returned to their hometown, the New Year's celebration will not be lively anymore."

"I'll be back after the second day of the Chinese New Year." Chen Rou said with a smile.

The time I stay in the village every year is not long, just a few days. After visiting my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, I usually go back to the city around the third or fourth day of the Chinese New Year. Of course, sometimes I don't come back until the fifth day.

"Then come back earlier, so we can go to the movies and take pictures together. I go there to take family photos every year." Ma Yuling said.

"Then let's go together then." Chen Rou said.

After staying here until around eight o'clock, the couple went back to their home. The three dogs at home were all well fed and were all very alert and good dogs, so there was no need to worry about leaving the dogs to them to take care of them.

Han Guobin said: "The children go back to the village, and the house is empty. Is this the life we ​​will live in 20 years?"

"It doesn't have to be twenty years, just eleven or twelve years will be enough. When the fourth child goes to college, there will be only two of us left at home." Chen Rou said.

Han Guobin said: "I want to have another child."

Chen Rou: "...It's the same no matter how many children you have. They will all fly away when they grow up."

"Wife, they will all fly away in the future, and we will be the only ones left at home." Han Guobin hugged her and said emotionally.

Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll be 42 after the Chinese New Year, and you're still using this trick."

Han Guobin pushed her down, closed the door outside, and the couple lay on the sofa and chatted with each other.

After a while, Han Guobin picked up his slim wife, turned off the lights and went into the house.

The next day, Ludan continued to drive people back home, sending his grandmother and his eldest sister-in-law's niece back. The two brothers Han Si and Han Bo also went back with them.

Han Guolin took Song Xiaoyu on a bicycle to buy New Year's goods, and then the couple rode their bicycles back home.

Han Guobin and Chen Rou came to the grain and oil shop to help Tiedan until the 29th day of the lunar year, when they announced they would take a vacation. They did not have any vacation until after the 7th day of the lunar year, when they resumed their business.

This year is even better than last year, and every household is filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Han Guobin drove the car, Chen Rou sat in the passenger seat, and Tiedan and Ludan sat in the back bed of the car, and they drove home.

As for the three dogs at home, Han Guoli was previously asked to feed them, but this year the task was given to Chen Bing.

Ma Yuling and Chen Gongan also assured them not to worry, and that their family would definitely help look after them.

In particular, Ma Yuling did not visit her husband's family during the Chinese New Year, and her relationship with her neighbors was not very good. Except for going back to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year, she usually watched TV at home. After all, whether it was the hair salon or the clothing store, they were all closed, so it was a bit deserted.

But the village must be bustling at this time.

It's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, how could it not be lively? When Chen Rou returned home, the house was clean inside and out.

Mrs. Han and the others came over to help clean up, and with more people around, things went faster.

When Chen Rou came back, she asked the children to carry New Year's goods to each household, including a bag of brown sugar, a can of malted milk and assorted candies.
