The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 69 (Part 3)

"I was thinking that Lu Dan also rents a house in the city, so he might as well find a girl from the city. With his current conditions, he is not unworthy of a city girl." said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou said, "Girls in the city are very opinionated. When they get married, they want to be the masters of their own household and don't like to give their money to their mother-in-law." After saying this, she looked at Han Dasao and said, "Besides, they don't want to build a house in the village in the future. They would rather buy a house and settle down in the city."

She knew her sister-in-law's plan. She still wanted to build a house for Tiedan and Ludan in the village.

"Is that so?" Mrs. Han was a little disappointed.

"I have a good candidate here. He is an elementary school teacher and is about the same age as Ludan." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Mrs. Han's eyes immediately lit up.

In their eyes, there are several best careers for girls, and teacher must be one of them.

"Which family is it? Are you familiar with it?" Mrs. Han asked repeatedly.

"Chengzi is the younger sister of her godmother's family." Chen Rou said.

"Chengzi's godmother? The one who took little Lao Si to the mahjong parlor?" Mrs. Han couldn't help but ask.

Chen Rou explained that it was Xiao Lao Si who lied and it had nothing to do with Ma Yuling.

"The girl's name is Ma Yulan. She teaches Chinese in elementary school. I saw her last time I went to her sister's house. She is pretty and well-mannered." Chen Rou said.

"Then will she agree to date Ludan? Ludan's grades are not that good." Mrs. Han couldn't help but say.

Neither of her two sons can read.

"Let's not talk about other things for now. If I were to date her, I don't think she would give her salary to you, sister-in-law. As for Donkey's salary, half of it would be kept as their living expenses in the future, and the rest can be taken home to build a house in the future. Of course, I'm saying this in case it works out. If not, it won't count. But I have to tell you this in advance, so think about it." Chen Rou said.

"Don't think about it. Go ask, second sister-in-law. If possible, then let Ludan go with her. Isn't free love popular nowadays? Let them go on their own. If they get along well, then Ludan can just send half of his salary back to her in the future." said Mrs. Han.

"Okay, I'll talk to Yuling when I get home and give the young people a chance." Chen Rou smiled.

Mrs. Han didn't stay long and went back with the donkey cart. After all, she was quite busy.

Han Guobin came over around noon. Chen Rou left the shop to him and went home to eat. The children had already cooked the food.

Chen Rou brought Han Guobin's portion over after she finished eating, and told him that she wanted to introduce a girl to Lu Dan, Chu Chu.

"That's good." Han Guobin nodded and said, "I'll be back in a few days, so just talk to him then."

Han Guobin is well aware of the ins and outs of being a taxi driver, and the people under Lao Si have similar habits to Li Dayuan.

Of course, I’m not as rich as Li Dayuan, but I still go there for entertainment.

Han Guobin had warned his nephew, and Donkey Dan blushed and said he didn't go. After he was invited to go together and knew it was that kind of place, he ran out quickly!

Because of this, others laughed at me and said I was still a rookie.

After returning from this trip, Han Guobin asked about the trip. There was no major problem, so he said, "Your second aunt wants to introduce you to a girl from the city. She is a teacher in an elementary school. Tomorrow is Sunday and she will come to her sister's house for dinner. You can go to her house to meet her then."

Donkey Egg was delighted and asked, "Really?"

"Yes." Han Guobin nodded and said, "But you have to remember what I told you. If I find out that you are the same as others, you can forget about this job. This red line was also drawn for you by your second aunt out of kindness. If you lose her, I will never use you again in the future."

"Uncle, don't worry. There is no such precedent in our Han family. We will not do that!" Lu Dan assured hurriedly.

Han Guobin didn't say anything then.

So the next day, Ludan came home wearing a new outfit, and Ma Yuling naturally greeted her sister Ma Yulan.

Ma Yulan was a slim girl. Although she had some freckles on her face and was not very pretty, her gentle temperament caught Donkey Dan's eye at first sight.

He was called over by his second aunt to borrow some white vinegar. She was making a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs today, and there was some white vinegar at home, but it didn't stop him from borrowing it.

"Yulan, go get some white vinegar for Han Huai's family," Ma Yuling called out.

Han Huaijia is the name of Donkey Egg, and his elder brother Tiedan is called Han Huaidang, but they are all called Donkey Egg Tiedan because the elders are used to calling them that.

But outsiders will call out names.

Ma Yulan blushed and gave Ludan some white vinegar, and took a close look at Ludan.

It’s true, although Ludan is not as good-looking as Han Hang and his brothers, he has inherited the high nose bridge from the Han family, and because of driving a sports car, he is also tanned.

But Donkey is quite tall, about 1.8 meters, which means he is not short. Although he is a little thin, he is definitely a spirited young man.

Compared to him, Ma Yulan looked much smaller, about 1.6 meters tall. She was quite fair, and because of her fair skin, the freckles on her face were more obvious.

She is a teacher, so she has a strong scholarly air and looks like a gentle and delicate little white flower.

"My name is Han Huaijia." Ludan felt that his heart was immediately captured by the girl in front of him, and he felt that he was in love.

"Yeah." Ma Yulan responded softly.

Naturally, Ludan didn't have much to say. He just said something to Ma Yuling and went back.

As soon as Donkey Dan left, Ma Yuling naturally pulled her sister aside to ask. Ma Yuling naturally thought that Donkey Dan was a very good person. Donkey Dan would come to his uncle's house for dinner from time to time, so Ma Yuling had seen him many times.

When Chen Rou mentioned it, she also talked about the conditions on her sister-in-law's side. In the future, her sister would manage her own salary, and half of Lu Dan's salary would be sent back to her hometown to build a house.

For the people from the countryside, the countryside is their roots. No matter they go back to live there or not, it is a good idea to build a house there and keep it there.

If you make money outside, it’s the same if you buy again.

So Ma Yuling nodded without hesitation. She really thought it was a good idea, so she asked her sister.

Ma Yulan's face was red as she said, "I don't know what he thinks of me." He kept staring at her face. Did he think she looked ugly because of her freckles? She also felt a little inferior about her freckles.

"I'll go over and ask and I'll know." Seeing her sister like this, Ma Yuling wondered what else she didn't know. She smiled and took a piece of ginger from the kitchen and came over.

"Do you have any ginger at home? I'll get you a piece." Ma Yuling said with a smile.

"Just don't have any." Chen Rou in the kitchen called her in, and at the same time sent away her nephew who fell in love with the girl at first sight.

Donkey Egg knew that the elders were going to talk about something, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.

"What's the matter?" Chen Rou and Ma Yuling said in a low voice at the same time.

Ma Yuling smiled and said, "If there is no problem on your side, then Yulan and I will come over for dinner later."

This is very clear.

"Come here, come here. The rice for you has been cooked a long time ago. Have sweet and sour pork ribs with rice for lunch!" Chen Rou said with a smile.

Ma Yuling also smiled and came over to reply to her sister without staying for long. Ma Yulan blushed, but when she heard her sister say that she would come over for dinner later, she also nodded.

When Chen Gongan came back at noon, he was called home to have dinner together.

Now we have replaced the table with a big round table a long time ago, so so many people can sit down if they squeeze together.

The children were not clear about it, but Chen Gongan, Ma Yuling, Chen Rou and Han Guobin all knew it.

After eating, Ma Yulan helped to clean up. Han Hang and the others were released by Chen Rou: "Huai Jia, go over and help, let your brother and the others have a relaxing meal."

"Okay." Donkey Egg nodded and went to help clean up.

"How can this be so embarrassing?" Han Zhou said.

"It's nothing. Your brother is getting married soon, and he will have to help his wife with housework. Your father helped me a lot when we were in the village." Chen Rou said.

"Later, we did everything." Han Zhou said.

"You are so old now, of course you have to help." Chen Rou said, and then chatted with Ma Yuling. From time to time, she would pay attention to the movements in the kitchen.

After finishing the work, Ma Yulan came over to eat some fruit and sat with her sister for a while before going back together.

"Second Aunt, thank you so much." Donkey Egg nodded, a little embarrassed but unable to hide his happiness.

"It's not like our time now, where people would get married not long after a blind date. Now you have seen it, and the rest is up to you two to go your own ways." Chen Rou said.

"I know." Donkey nodded with a grin.

There are four days of vacation in a month. Ma Yulan also has four days off, but she only has vacation on Sundays, while Ludan has the same day off as her.

So the two of them have relatively few interactions. If they hadn't been introduced by someone, they would definitely not have been able to get together.

Of course, it’s summer vacation now, so Ma Yulan is quite free.

After returning from his work at the end of August, Ludan took Ma Yulan back to his hometown to see his parents.

Ma Yuling thought that Donkey's job was pretty good before, but now she still has some complaints, saying, "The Huai family is too busy now. The two of them only get together a few days a month. When school starts and Yulan goes to work, there will be no chance for them to get together."

Chen Rou also thought it made sense and told Han Guobin about it at night.

"Then let Donkey Egg be replaced and be in charge of the furniture store," said Han Guobin.

The furniture store is also short of people, so it would be a good idea to let my nephew go over there. He can pick one person from the grain collection team to lead the convoy, and he will continue to recruit others.

"Well, talk to him. It's not okay for two of them to be like this at such a young age. It would be better for them to change jobs." Chen Rou nodded.

So Donkey Egg became the manager of the furniture store.

But this management is not so easy. There is a fixed sales volume of furniture every month, which is set by the fourth brother.

It has to exceed that amount, otherwise the fourth brother will not be satisfied and want to replace him.

Fortunately, Donkey Egg is still capable. He sells the products very well, has a good attitude, and delivers the products to people’s doorsteps. The orders for which deposits have been paid far exceed the sales volume.

Also because he no longer drove long distances, his relationship with Ma Yulan developed quickly. They were both types of people who liked each other. Lu Dan liked his partner's petiteness and gentleness, while Ma Yulan liked her partner's tallness and strong build, and he was dark-skinned and looked very healthy.

After Ludan met Ma's father and mother, the wedding date was set at the end of this year.

It just so happens that it will be not long after the autumn harvest, and by then Brother Han and Sister-in-law will be free. If they don’t have a holiday by then, the young couple can take a leave to get married.
