The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 69 (Part 1)

Xu Yumei didn't stay in the grocery store for long. When she went back, Chen Rou put some cabbage and leeks in her basket and asked her to take it home and eat.

As for the rest, Chen Rou couldn't help her.

Some things can only be discovered by yourself. If others expose them, the consequences can be imagined.

Han Guobin is not at home. The children come back early from school and don’t play basketball.

The eldest child had to take extra classes later, but the second child, Han Zhou, came over to help her after school. However, it was not so busy here for the time being, so she asked the second child to go home to cook and go home as the shop would close at 6:30.

Han Cheng and Xiao Lao Si also came back soon, the brother and sister came back together.

"Mom, I saw an uncle waiting for the fourth child at the door today." Han Cheng whispered to her mother.

Chen Rou asked, "What uncle?"

"I heard the fourth brother call him Fourth Master." Han Cheng said.

Chen Rou knew who it was immediately and called over the little boy who was doing his homework.

"What are you doing?" asked the fourth child.

"Did you meet the owner of the mahjong parlor?" Chen Rou asked.

"If he hadn't met me, he would have been waiting for me." said the fourth child.

Chen Rou looked at him: "Why is he waiting for you?"

"He didn't do anything. He just asked me if there was anything I wanted and he went to get it for me." said the fourth child.

"So what do you say?" Chen Rou asked.

"I just said I wanted a little donkey, and he said it was okay, and told me to study hard, and that was all he said," said Little Four.

Chen Rou let him continue with his homework.

The fourth child grinned and said, "Mom, does he really want to adopt me as his godson?"

Chen Rou gave him a look, and Little Four immediately said, "I'll do my homework."

Han Cheng whispered, "Mom, what's going on? That uncle wants to adopt the fourth child as his godson?"

"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.

"Doesn't he have a son himself? Why is he so eager to recognize a son as his godchild? Instead of looking for you and dad, he went to find the fourth son?" Han Cheng asked in confusion.

"He has no son, and I heard from your father that he is not married. He was a playboy when he was young." Chen Rou said. Of course, he is not much better now.

Han Cheng suddenly realized: "I was thinking, you want to raise a godson to take care of him in his old age?"

Chen Rou said: "It's okay if it's like this, but I'm worried that the fourth child will learn bad things from him."

There's nothing wrong with having a godparent, but the fourth child has been a smart boy since he was young. It's good that he has her to control him now. If he had such a godparent, he would learn bad things in a matter of minutes.

But when she came home from school the next day, Chen Rou had a blank expression on her face.

Because little Lao Si came back leading a little donkey, jumping and skipping, he was so happy that he almost flew.

Han Cheng came over to tell tales, but Chen Rou knew everything without her telling tales.

The fourth child brought the little donkey back and happily introduced it to his mother: "Mom, look, I have a little donkey!"

Chen Rou asked, "If he gives it to you, will you accept it from him?"

"Why not accept it? I didn't ask him for it. He gave it to me." said the fourth brother.

"Don't you know that if you accept something from someone, you have to accept their favor?" Chen Rou looked at him.

"I'm not going to accept the favor. If you want me to accept the favor, I'll have to return the donkey. But I've asked him, and he said he would give it to me, so it's not worth much." Little Fourth said happily.

This guy really has the potential to be a scumbag.

Chen Rou glanced at the boy, and he happily went to feed the donkey with the cabbage.

Chen Rou said coldly: "Count the money."

The fourth child was stunned for a moment: "Mom, you are my real mother?"

"So what if she's your mother? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I have to pay for all these goods. It's fine if I support you, but why should I also support your little donkey?" Chen Rou said.

"Xiao Hui is mine, I am yours, so isn't Xiao Hui also yours, mother?" Little Four couldn't help but say.

"Give it up, now. If you say so, when you get married and have children, I will have to support them for you," Chen Rou said mercilessly.

The fourth child choked and said, "You won't even give me a handful of cabbage, Mom, you're asking for trouble!"

"Don't take my things without paying. It's hard enough to feed you, and I also have to feed your donkey. Do you know how much he eats in a day?" Chen Rou said lightly.

Little Lao Si took money out of his schoolbag. Luckily he had been frugal this year and still had a few dollars left in pocket money!

Chen Rou ignored him and took the money directly.

In this way, in addition to three dogs and several cats, the family now has two cats. There were two cats originally, and later there were more, and now there is also a little donkey.

Whenever Chen Rou needed to feed the little donkey, she would ask Xiao Laosi for money.

The fourth child was reluctant to spend his pocket money, as he only had these few dollars left. Their pocket money would not be distributed until the second half of the year, so they had to rely on the New Year's money to survive in the first half of the year.

So he came to the mahjong parlor on Sunday. The fourth brother happened to be playing mahjong. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "How is the little donkey?"

"It's good, but it's too expensive to keep it." Little Fourth sighed.

In just a few days, his pocket money was greatly reduced.

"It doesn't cost much to raise a donkey. Just let it eat hay," said the fourth brother.

"I don't have any hay." Little Lao Si's eyes lit up and he looked at him.

"Then let someone send some to you. Do you need anything else?" The fourth brother said after playing his cards.

"No, just hay." Little Four shook his head and said, "I haven't done my homework yet. I'm going to go back and do it."

"Go ahead, but don't let your mother see it." The fourth brother took out a ten-dollar note from the mahjong table cabinet and stuffed it into his hand.

Little Lao Si laughed and ran away with the money.

"Fourth Master, is this your son? Why does he look so similar to you?" asked a poker friend.

The fourth brother raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Are they similar?"

"They don't look alike, but the energy they have is exactly the same." Another poker player nodded.

The fourth brother smiled and continued playing his mahjong.

Late in the evening, a young man brought a bundle of hay to the house, which was what the donkey loved to eat. Little Lao Si was very happy and moved the hay directly over.

"Lao Si, who is that man? Why is he sending you hay?" Zhang Yaoyao, who happened to be at home, asked.

"Why are you asking so many questions? You refused to lend me two dollars when I asked you to lend me that." said Little Fourth.

"Your little donkey is a bottomless pit. What will you do after I lend it to you once?" Zhang Yaoyao said.

"You never lent it to me once." said the fourth little brother, feeding the little donkey with hay and brushing its hair with a brush.

It’s true, the little donkey likes its little master very much and enjoys himself very much.

Zhang Yaoyao ignored him and whispered to Chengzi whether Xiao Laosi was associating with someone. The young man who brought the hay had a tattoo on his arm and didn't look like a good person.

Chengzi must have told her mother that the two sisters left the little one at home and came to the grocery store.

After talking about sending hay, Chen Rou said, "Don't worry about it. Wait until your father comes back."

Based on her understanding of her youngest son, he must have taken in more than just the donkey, the fourth son, and other things as well, but he just kept it from her.

But we have to wait until Han Guobin comes back, for now let Xiao Lao Si go.

Han Guobin was away for more than half a month this time.

I went there in early April and drove back in late April. By that time, the furniture factory had already put the finished furniture on display in the mall.

This furniture stall has another name, Qifan Furniture City.

That’s right, it’s the name of her youngest son, Han Qifan.

It's the sign that Lao Si made and it's hanging above. There's another sign next to it that accepts deposit orders and also provides delivery.

Currently, the fourth brother is running the business there.

When Han Guobin's batch of goods arrived, it caused a sensation in this small county.

This is a brand new truck that Han Guobin bought privately. It is not a public property and the car is his own.

But let’s not talk about that for now. The main thing is that the goods that were shipped back are all good goods.

A large color TV, a washing machine, and the rest are an electric fan and a whole bag of watches.

They set up a glass cabinet for watches, just like the ones in department stores, and put them on sale.

A whole truck full of supplies.

In the evening of that day, Han Guobin took the green refrigerator in the car home.

This was the only refrigerator he had, and he bought it specifically for his own home use.

Ma Yuling from next door came over and saw it. She was so curious: "Brother Guobin, you have to bring me one next time. I don't have a refrigerator at home either. The price will be the same as the price at the big shopping mall!"

"It's hard to buy refrigerators over there. This is the only one left when I went there this time. Otherwise, I would have to buy refrigerators this time as well." Han Guobin said with a smile.

"If you come across it, buy it for me." Ma Yuling said.

"Okay." Han Guobin nodded.

Han Guobin didn't stay at home for long. After eating, he took the account book and drove to find Lao Yang. He took Lao Yang with him to settle the accounts with Lao Si.

The old sheep couldn't help but say, "You are really successful now. You have two big trucks at home!"

"I don't think two are too many. Our furniture mall has been opened. If you didn't go there today, you would have seen that most of the home appliances were sold out as soon as they were put on display," said Han Guobin.

No tickets are required for large color TVs, you can take them away if you have money. If you can’t carry them away and need help, Qifan Furniture City will deliver them to you.

So how can one truck be enough?

"Let me free up my car and use it. I'm planning to buy another tractor, which is also practical." said Lao Yang.

"That's good." Han Guobin said, "You can buy another tractor, and your tractor can go south with me to bring back more. And if the bacon factory opens in the future, we can sell the bacon on this trip south."

The old sheep nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Good idea, good idea!"

They came over to the fourth brother, checked the account book and counted the money, and everyone was happy.

Han Guobin looked at Lao Si and said, "Why did the furniture store have such a name?"

"Qifan, what a great name!" The fourth brother said with a smile.

"Besides the little donkey, what else was given to Little Fourth?" Han Guobin asked. His wife told him everything before he came over.

"Nothing. You don't have to be so vigilant. I'm not going to lead him astray. I'm just keeping an eye on the child." The fourth brother said.

"When you are free, come over to my house for dinner." Han Guobin looked at him and said.

The fourth brother immediately laughed and said, "I don't have anything to do. Any day is fine."

"Then come over for lunch the day after tomorrow. I'll let the fourth child become your godparent. But let me make this clear in advance: if we can become godparents, then we can be godparents, but you don't have to teach him any nonsense." Han Guobin said.
