The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 68 (Part 2)

But now he was a little scared and wanted to change the subject quickly, saying: "Journey to the West is really good, I never get tired of watching it. This white dragon horse has worked hard, carrying so many gifts and Tang Monk to the West to obtain the scriptures."

"Yeah, you've been really hardworking, but little white dragon is so handsome," Han Cheng said.

"Can he be as handsome as me?" said Han Laosi.

"Don't humiliate yourself. I don't want to be harsh on New Year's Day." Han Cheng said with disdain.

"You know what, when these kids in your family grow up, they will definitely be charming. They all inherited your good genes." Ma Yuling and Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Don't praise them. They don't need to be praised." Chen Rou smiled.

"Go ahead and praise us, as much as you can. We can all stand the praise." Han Laosi grinned.

Han Guobin said to Chen Gongan: "Tomorrow, both families will take a family photo together, a big one."

"Let's go the day after tomorrow. I have a day off the day after tomorrow." said Chen Gongan.

The day after tomorrow is the fifth day of the New Year, and the two families came together to take photos.

Everyone was very happy, especially the children. Each of them took two or three photos, which can be considered precious photos.

The fifth day of the New Year had passed, and Chen Rou took two days off until the eighth day, when Han Laosi came back happily from outside, and then she started fighting.

She only finished beating him after breaking the bamboo stick, otherwise she would have to continue beating him.

Han Hang, Han Zhou, Han Cheng and Zhang Yaoyao were all at home, they were so nervous.

Zhang Yaoyao listened to the crying of the fourth child and said tremblingly, "What...what's going on? Why is the second sister-in-law beating so fiercely?"

"I... I don't know either. What happened to the eldest brother, second brother, and the fourth brother?" Han Cheng said to her eldest brother and second brother.

Han Hang and Han Zhou were actually also confused, but their mother would not beat them for no reason. He was the fourth brother and was the one who loved him the most.

"I'm going to find my godmother." Han Cheng hurried over to the next room.

Ma Yuling came over quickly and went in to stop them, but the beating was almost over. Han Laosi was crying uncontrollably. His mother had stripped off his cotton trousers, leaving him only with his thin autumn trousers, and he was beaten so hard that his voice became hoarse from howling.

"Remember what you said today. If I find out you dare to go that far again next time, I will let you know what comfort is." Chen Rou said.

Han Laosi put on his pants, then lay down on the kang and continued crying.

Chen Rou ignored him and came out with Ma Yuling, then glanced at the others.

Han Hang said: "Ah, I haven't memorized the English words for today yet, so I'll go memorize them first."

Han Zhou immediately said, "I'm going to the backyard to sweep the snow. It snowed a lot last night."

Han Cheng and Zhang Yaoyao both hurriedly said, "We'll go help you!"

They ran away without a trace.

Ma Yuling wanted to laugh and said, "I didn't know you could beat a child so fiercely."

"If he doesn't listen, he must be beaten, otherwise there will be chaos." Chen Rou said. She has been holding it in for so many days, and the brat still hasn't come to admit his mistake. How can she let him off so easily and let him be clever and think he can get away with it.

Han Guobin found out that the fourth son had been beaten after he came back. He took some pearl cream and rubbed it on him. There were red marks all over, which showed that he had been beaten severely. He also took the opportunity to have a chat with his oldest son.

But the fourth child refused to talk, so Han Guobin said, "Next time your Aunt Ling goes to the provincial capital to buy goods, she will buy mahjong. We can play at home, but don't go outside."

The fourth child said aggrievedly: "I thought Aunt Ling didn't tell my mother."

"How is that possible? Your mother knew about it on the first day you came to the city, and she told me. She has been waiting for you to admit your mistake for so many days, but you never did. That's why she got angry today." Han Guobin said.

Little Lao Si sobbed, "Mom beat me so hard."

"Then you deserve to be beaten. Will you dare to go again in the future?" Han Guobin said.

The fourth child lowered his head and whispered that he would not go.

He also went to visit his classmates. His classmate's mother often went there, so he went with his classmate. It was quite fun there. If the adults won money by playing games, they would give them money.

Moreover, if he wanted to buy cigarettes or other things, he didn't have to give back the money they gave him, which he thought was quite cool.

Later he met his Aunt Ling. He knew at that moment that something bad was going to happen, so he fooled Aunt Ling and managed to keep the secret.

But during the Chinese New Year, I got a little carried away and let the cat out of the bag.

Han Laosi was so regretful.

"How much New Year's money have you saved this year? I saw your aunt Ling gave you ten yuan each, and so did your uncle, your third uncle, and your aunt." Han Guobin said with a smile.

"I saved 60 yuan." Little Lao Si was very satisfied when he said this.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, it’s time to collect red envelopes, but his mother no longer accepts them and lets them keep them themselves.

"Your mother is making egg pancakes. You can eat them soon. Just lie down for a while and then get up." Han Guobin said, patting his little butt.

Little Lao Si nodded and came out after a while.

His elder brother, second brother and third sister seemed to be unaware that he had been beaten. They didn't even say a word of comfort and just went about their business.

Han Guoli came over after lunch, probably because she heard what Zhang Yaoyao said when she got home.

"Why did Lao Si go to the mahjong hall? How did he know where it was?" Han Guoli whispered.

"I went to his classmate's house. His classmate's mother often went there. So I followed his classmate there to earn tips." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli laughed: "Second brother wasn't as smart as him when he was little, but the fourth brother is quite clever."

"I'm just being clever. I give them pocket money on a daily basis and use it to do that." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli nodded. This must be punished, but it cannot be tolerated.

"Second sister-in-law, when will the bun shop open?" Han Guoli asked.

"Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival. You can look for a shop first. My fourth sister bought one last year and she plans to buy a yard this year." Chen Rou said.

Han Guoli said, "Do you want a yard? We happen to have one over there. Although it's a bit dilapidated, we can buy it and tear it down to rebuild a new one. I wonder if your fourth sister wants it?"

"How far is it from your home, Third Aunt?" Chen Rou asked.

"It's just two houses away. I was thinking of asking Guolin and Xiaoyu to buy it, but they want to buy a shop this year, so they said they would wait. But our place is really good." Han Guoli said.

"Then I'll go ask my fourth sister." Chen Rou said.

She came directly over, and Chen Sijie and An Dabang were really capable, so they started to open a shop and do business.

When Fourth Sister Chen heard that it was about the courtyard, she said, "Tell your Third Aunt that it's not necessary. We have a house here, but it's a bit far from here."

"Did you buy it?" Chen Rou nodded.

"We are negotiating the price. They asked for more than a thousand yuan. They are really brave to ask such a high price for such a small shabby yard." Sister Chen Si said.

"Given the current market conditions, more than a thousand yuan is not too much. Go and buy it." Chen Rou said.

"I've been taken advantage of. Over a thousand yuan isn't a lot." Sister Chen said, "I heard from Guobin that the yard only cost 200 yuan before."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "How can we compare? It's been so many years. How much did a bowl of noodles cost back then? How much does a bowl of noodles cost now?"

"That's too expensive." said Sister Chen Si.

In the end, I bought the yard for 1,200 yuan, which was about 100 yuan cheaper.

After buying it, Chen Rou came over to take a look and asked her fourth brother-in-law to find someone to rebuild it because it was very old.

Chen Sijie also gritted her teeth and asked An Dabang to find someone to rebuild the house in the spring. Basically all the family’s money was spent on building this house.

But when she saw the house completed in April, Sister Chen was still in a very good mood.

As for the yard on Han Guoli's side, Chen Rou bought it.

Not only did he buy that yard, he also bought two other shops, both on the main road.

The two shops were given to Ma Yuling to open.

Ma Yuling partnered with her in two businesses, a perm shop and a clothing store.

It's called a clothing store, but the items sold inside are quite mixed, including clothes, shoes, lipsticks, jewelry, etc.

So Chen Rou asked her to separate the stores into two categories: clothing stores were clothing stores, shoe stores were shoe stores, and products like lipstick and mousse were also supplied in a dedicated shop.

Ma Yuling was very happy and said with a smile: "You are making a big move."

"You are the boss of our stores. You should go to the mahjong parlor less often on weekdays. Those employees are not very skilled yet, so you have to keep an eye on them. We have to run our store well, otherwise when other stores start up in the future, it will not be so easy to make money." Chen Rou said.

"I won't go. It's not safe at all." Ma Yuling cursed. The last time she went to the mahjong hall, more than three hundred yuan was stolen without anyone noticing, and she had no place to look for the problem.

Furthermore, Chen Gongan was also quite dissatisfied with her playing mahjong, and the two had just had a quarrel.

So Ma Yuling simply decided not to go.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "That three hundred dollars is worth it."

Ma Yuling rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'll go to the provincial capital to buy some goods tomorrow."

"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.

Han Guobin came back on his bicycle and said, "The furniture at the furniture factory is almost ready. We can go there to pick up the furniture when Donkey Egg's car comes back today."

"Is the dressing table that Third Brother ordered for Fourth Sister ready?" Chen Rou asked.

"Okay, Third Brother has also ordered one for you." Han Guobin said with a smile.

"You ordered one for me too? When did it happen?" Chen Rou was stunned for a moment and said.

"They asked me to go with them to order it, and didn't let you know. They said it was to supplement your dowry." Han Guobin said with a smile.

Chen Rou glared at him: "You don't stop me, we already have one at home."
