The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 67 (Part 1)

On New Year's Eve, Chen Rou prepared a lot of delicious food for the family.

In addition to the dishes that are available every year, this year Chen Rou also added a braised pork knuckle, a scallion chicken, and a pot of stewed beef with radish.

The table was full, with nine dishes in total, and there were also drinks, soda and wine on the table.

The whole family started to gather around and eat.

Halfway through the meal, Brother Han and Sister-in-law came over to join the table. Chen Rou had called them a long time ago, asking them to eat something at home as a token of their respect, and then come over to eat with them.

So the house was extra lively.

"I don't prepare as much as you, my second brother and sister-in-law." Sister Han looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile. She then looked at the plate of chicken and asked, "Will this chicken taste bad if it's cooked this way?"

"This is scallion chicken, eat it with scallion sauce. This bowl of sauce is for you and big brother, try it." Chen Rou greeted.

"You have more varieties here, I just cook everything in one pot." Mrs. Han took a piece and ate it with dip, it was really delicious, she said with a smile.

"Eat more. I don't know if you are used to drinking this drink. I don't like it, but these little ones like it." Chen Rou said.

"Let me try." Mrs. Han smiled.

After taking a sip, Han Dasao was still not used to it, so Chen Rou said, "Then let's drink some wine together with big brother Guobin."

Han Guobin laughed and said, "I didn't have much to drink before, but I think you can drink quite well, sister-in-law."

"My grandfather was a heavy drinker. He loved me when I was a child and often used chopsticks to dip my food for me. I learned the skill from him," said Mrs. Han with a smile.

"This tiger skin egg is delicious!" Brother Han said with a smile as he picked up a tiger skin egg.

"I specifically asked my mother to do it." said Han Laosi.

"You asked mom to cook a lot of things for you. You should eat more of the garlic-flavored yellow croaker. It's what you asked for." said Han Cheng, who doesn't like garlic.

"Sister, you can try it too. It's very delicious and fresh." Han Laosi said.

Han Cheng refused and ignored him, taking a sip of his drink.

Han Lao Si continued, "Mom, this year is over. If we celebrate the New Year next year, we must set up a mahjong table at home."

"You also know mahjong?" Chen Rou looked at him.

"Of course I know. I went with Aunt Ling last time she went to the mahjong hall. I have been there several times. I have helped Aunt Ling shuffle the cards. I can play too!" said Han Laosi.

"Why didn't I hear you?" Chen Rou glared.

"What's there to say? I didn't go out to play. I was just strolling with Aunt Ling." Han Laosi said.

Chen Rou glanced at him and smiled at him.

Han Laosi was not afraid of his mother glaring at him, but was afraid of his mother smiling at him like that, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, mother, your son will never get addicted to gambling. It was only Aunt Ling who took me there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get in!"

"In the old alley?" Han Guobin asked.

"Dad, you know it too." Han Laosi said with a smile.

"Today is Chinese New Year, so I won't beat you for now." Han Guobin said, and then said to Chen Rou: "I told you that, Ma Yuling should have heard it from the hair perm guy in the past."

"I don't even know where she went." Chen Rou couldn't help but say that Ma Yuling didn't even tell her that she knew how to play mahjong.

Especially since she brought the fourth child with her, she would have to settle the score with her when she gets back.

"Is he your next-door neighbor?" asked Mrs. Han.

"Yes." Chen Rou nodded.

"Don't get too close to that woman. She doesn't look very reliable with the way she's dressed. Why did she become Chengzi's godchild?" said Mrs. Han.

"She's not a bad person by nature, she's just a little unconventional." Chen Rou said with a smile, "But this time when I go back, I will definitely talk about her."

"You can't go to the casino." Brother Han said to his nephew.

Han Laosi said, "No, no, I won't go anymore. I won't go anymore in the future." While speaking, he looked at his mother.

His father doesn't beat people, but his mother does. He has been beaten back many times, and he thinks that after the New Year, his mother will definitely settle accounts with him.

"You can't go. I'll tell them that you won't be allowed to get close to me in the future." Han Guobin said.

Han Lao Si smiled ingratiatingly and said, "I won't go there again without your permission."

"Your eldest brother and third sister and I don't know how to play mahjong yet, but you are so capable that you even want our family to buy mahjong." Han Zhou said.

"I just want to have some fun." said Han Laosi.

"Mom, let's buy one and play with it by ourselves. Let the fourth child teach us and it will also be a good way to pass the time." Han Zhou said.

"Sure. After the New Year, ask your father to go find your Uncle Dayuan and ask him to bring one back from the provincial capital." Chen Rou nodded.

"Do you really want to buy it?" Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask.

"Buy it. You can play with it at home. But if you go out, if anyone dares to play with it and I hear the slightest news, I won't stop until the bamboo sticks in my house are broken." Chen Rou said calmly.

The three brothers and Han Cheng were all very nervous. Don't think that Han Hang, the academic master, and Han Cheng, the girl, had never been beaten. They were beaten when they were young.

Their mother's beating was so intense that once they experienced it, they would never want to experience it again.

The New Year's Eve dinner was quickly finished and the house was left to the children to clean up. Chen Rou took a plate of candied winter melon and a large bag of melon seeds and went to Dagui's wife's house with Mrs. Han.

The noble wife smiled and said, "I have prepared some cards tonight, so we must have some fun."

Then she asked her youngest son to call other people, including Shuanzi's wife, Cai Lihua, Zhou Zhen and others, and asked them to gather at home.

After Zhou Zhen came over, she said, "I've already made a pot of good tea, waiting for you to come over. Why did you come over here?"

"How can my family be without a pot of good tea? I've prepared two pots." Dagui's wife smiled and said, "And there are sour plums, which I just picked and pickled from the mountains near my mother's home this year. I want you all to have a taste of them too."

A group of women gathered together to play cards. Chen Rou and Han Dasao were included. She didn't know how to play with rectangular cards, but Han Dasao was very good at it.

Look, I won money again, but not a big one.

While dealing cards, Dagui's wife said, "There are many prosperous people in our village this year. Lihua, your mutton is selling very well."

"You can get rich by selling some mutton. Your family also has two big fat pigs." Cai Lihua said with a smile.

But I have to say that selling sheep this year also brought a considerable amount of income to the family.

"Are you planning to keep it next year?" Mrs. Han asked her.

"Yes, I plan to buy more lambs next year and add a few more." Cai Lihua said with a smile.

"Are you planning to support Shuanzi's wife as well?" Zhou Zhen asked Shuanzi's wife.

"I can't raise too many, so just raise a few." Shuanzi's wife nodded, and then asked Chen Rou: "Will your uncle take them in next year?"

"If the cat is well raised, he will definitely take it in. After taking the cat from Sister Lihua this year, he will go to other places to ask." Chen Rou said.

Originally, he would bring one back to the village every day, but later on, he increased the number to two. However, they were still not enough to sell, and they were all sold out by the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After that, he could only sell pork. There were many people raising sheep in other places, but it was not his turn because they were bought out by others.

It can also be seen that it will definitely sell well.

Cai Lihua said: "Uncle Guolin came to our house today."

"Did his wife go with him?" asked Dagui's wife.

"No, just Uncle Guolin." Cai Lihua said.

"She must be too embarrassed to go there." Dagui's wife said, "Her husband wants to divorce her, but she still comes back to the village to pretend to be filial. If she really takes the parents home to take care of them, I will still respect her as a man."

"That's wishful thinking. Can she take the parents over? But if you leave it to me in the future, I will definitely not agree!" Mrs. Han played her cards and said.
