The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 72 (Part 2)

The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 72 (Part 2)

Brother Chen San was not stingy at all. He asked people to come and help renovate the house of his new father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, the house was very old and their life there was obviously very ordinary.

Not only was the house rebuilt into a brick and tile house, but two additional brick and tile houses were also built. They were for his stepson to use when he gets married, and it looks very spacious.

As for other things, he didn't give them. This was enough for rebuilding and expanding the house. Brother Chen San didn't want his new relative's appetite to be further increased.

Brother Chen San got married, but there was no wedding ceremony. He just married the girl and that was it.

However, the news had spread in the village, and Chen Sijie went back and brought back the things that the two sisters had bought for their new sister-in-law.

I learned from Aunt Chen that Huang Aidi almost cried her eyes blind.

Originally, Huang Aidi thought she had realized her mistake and severed ties with her natal family. She still had hope of returning to Lao Chen's family.

But who knows that now that he has married a new man, what hope is there for her to remarry in the future?

In anger, Huang Aidi went back to her parents' home to smash pig manure. The ground was covered with pig manure, but the people in the Huang family were really afraid of this crazy daughter.

They used to be so strong that they never fought back no matter how they were pinched or beaten. Now they are all crazy. Who dares to come out? But they all cherish their lives very much.

These are the things that Chen Sijie told me after she came back from visiting her relatives.

Chen Rou didn't care about this. After all, she was given a living allowance every month, which was not a small amount and was enough for her to live on.

Moreover, her third brother did not stop the children from recognizing their mother. Now her third brother is just starting his new life.

Chen Rou was more concerned about this new sister-in-law.

"He looks like a good guy. I heard from mother that he works efficiently and is not lazy. He does whatever he sees." said Chen Sijie.

Only then did Chen Rou nod.

Mrs. Han also went into the city again later. She was very happy. After all, it was she who facilitated this marriage, and it was a further marriage between the relatives.

Chen Rou was very busy. How could she not be busy at a time like this? With so many things happening, she didn't even have time to go back.

It has snowed heavily recently, but Chen Rou still got up early in the morning, and so did Han Guobin. The couple was busy until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, when business started to pick up.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the grocery store and the steamed bun shop closed.

Chen Rou began to make the year-end summary. As she calculated with an abacus, a smile appeared on her face.

Han Guobin came in with two boiled sweet potatoes. Seeing her like this, he smiled and asked, "How much did you earn?"

"Guess." Chen Rou took the warm sweet potato and said with a smile.

"All together, it should be around 7,000, right?" Han Guobin said with a smile.

"Not counting the shops owned by Yuling and I, the rest add up to almost nine thousand." Chen Rou looked at him and said with a smile.

Han Guobin knew that he would definitely make a lot more money this year. After all, the newly added motorcycle shop and the furniture store were doing really good business as it was approaching the end of the year.

At present, washing machines and large color TVs are sold out. We tried to purchase more stocks before the snow came, but they are still sold out.

He also got a share of the pork from Lao Yang, which was quite a lot in total, but the profit of nearly 9,000 yuan in this month still surprised Han Guobin.

A monthly income of 9,000 yuan, what does that mean?

"Yuling and I each got two thousand this month." Chen Rou said with a smile.

If all are taken into account, this month's income would be over ten thousand. In the future, monthly income of ten thousand might be common, but to be able to earn over ten thousand a month at this time, naturally needs no further explanation.

"Wife, our retirement will not be a problem in the future." Han Guobin said with a smile.

Chen Rou smiled.

After settling the bill, the couple ate sweet potatoes together and said, "Let's have noodles tonight. I made chicken soup. Can we have chicken noodle soup?"

"Okay." Han Guobin naturally had no objection.

After Chen Rou ate the sweet potatoes, she came out to knead the dough. After kneading, she brought it into the warm room to let it rise. It was almost done in two hours.

Little Lao Si came back from outside. Although he was wrapped tightly, he was still frozen red.

"It's so cold, can't you just stay indoors quietly? If you catch a cold, I'll ask your father to take you to get a shot!" Chen Rou glared at him.

"I won't be cold. This is a coat from Beijing. This hat is made of wool. It's very warm!" said the fourth little one nonchalantly.

These were all bought for him by his godfather, and he was wearing new clothes from head to toe.

Chen Rou said coldly: "I think you deserve a beating!"

The fourth child smiled and said, "Mom, I just went to my godfather's place to have some tea. I didn't go to the mahjong parlor. And because you said that so many people smoking in the mahjong parlor is bad for my health, my godfather has stipulated that we can only eat candy and not smoke in the mahjong parlor."

This is the truth. Chen Rou doesn't let the fourth child go there every day, saying that secondhand smoke is bad for his health. So the fourth child bought some candies and gave them directly to the people in the mahjong hall, and he was not allowed to smoke from then on.

The environment there has improved a lot.

Chen Rou glanced at him.

"My godfather said he will come to our house for lunch tomorrow at noon." said the fourth child.

"Okay." Chen Rou said, "We just happen to have a lot of dishes at home."

We had chicken noodle soup at home in the evening, and each person had a poached egg. Such a simple dinner was satisfying for the whole family.

After eating, they gathered together to watch TV. Chen Bing from next door came over to watch TV, and soon Ma Yuling and Chen Gongan also came over.

Chen Gongan smiled and asked, "When will your family go back this year?"

"About twenty-eight times." Han Guobin looked at his wife.

"The children go back first on the 28th, and we will go back on the 29th." Chen Rou said.

"Then don't cook, just go home and eat," said Ma Yuling.

"Okay." Chen Rou smiled.

After sitting for a while, the two couples went to play mahjong at the table. Ma Yuling bought it for entertainment, just to kill time when she was bored.

Chen Rou learned it from Xiao Lao Si and beat him up after she finished learning it. The bad boy learned all kinds of skills.

As for the children, they can only watch.

But the kids were bored too, so Han Cheng asked, "Do you want to play cards?"

"Let's play." Chen Bing said, "I just happen to have two dollars in my pocket. Let's see who has the ability to win it."

"Go call Sister Yaoyao." Han Cheng ordered her brother.

The fourth child didn't want to move: "Sister, go by yourself."

"Hurry up, don't you like running outside the most? Go and call Sister Yaoyao to come over and join the crowd." Han Cheng said.

The fourth child did not move and called his second brother: "Second brother, you go."

"I think you might as well find a clam shell to crawl into!" Han Cheng said disdainfully.

She ignored him and went to find Zhang Yaoyao, and then the group of kids got together to play cards.

Chen Rou only allowed them to play games for money at home. If anyone dared to play outside and was seen by her, she would beat them with a stick without hesitation. They knew this well, so Chen Rou did not impose too many restrictions.

Han Hang is studying in the room. He is in his third year of high school this semester and will take the college entrance examination in June next year.

Studying is very intense.

"Second brother, it's time to study." Chen Rou let them play for a while and then said.

Han Zhou nodded, and after playing this game, he went into his room to study. His elder brother will take the college entrance examination next year, and he will take the high school entrance examination next year.

Because he had to catch up when primary school was changed from five years to six years, and he had to catch up when junior high school was changed from two years to three years, so the two brothers were quite far behind.

Ma Yuling dealt the cards and said, "Next year Chen Bing will also take the college entrance examination, but I think this kid will have to repeat his grade."

"It's not that exaggerated. My grades are among the top 20 in the class!" said Chen Bing.

"Don't say that. Your class is in the top 20, so how can it be called a good class? If you were in the top 20 in the key class, I wouldn't say anything about you." Ma Yuling said.

"Although our class is an ordinary class, our head teacher said that if we try our best next year, we will have no problem getting into a third-tier university," said Chen Bing.

"Listen, this is the best we can do." Ma Yuling said to Chen Rou.

Chen Rou said: "Then let him come into the house and study together."

"Did you hear that?" Ma Yuling asked with her eyes wide open.

Chen Bing wailed, "I've already told Brother Hang that next year he'll give me more important points and I'll just follow his instructions. Just let me relax a bit this year!"

Ma Yuling didn't care about him at this time.

The four of them played mahjong until ten o'clock and then closed the stall.

I asked the second child to make some milk, and we each drank a cup and then went to bed.

Chen Rou and Han Guobin also returned to the room. The kang was warm and comfortable. They said, "This kang is still comfortable. I saw the beds that Yuling and the others slept on were very cold."

"I thought of this at the time, and I came up with this name on purpose." Han Guobin said, then he hugged his wife and whispered, "Wife, I went to have a bath with Da Yuan today, and it was very clean."

Chen Rou hit him lightly, and Han Guobin came up with a smile.

After making love, they hugged each other. Chen Rou said, "Xu Yumei came over last time and said that Li Dayuan only comes back once a month now."

Han Guobin didn't know whether Li Dayuan had severed contact with the provincial capital or not. He also didn't expect that this big brother actually had a child outside.

And he's still young, it's very easy for something to go wrong.

"We just went to take a shower together. I don't know anything else." Han Guobin said.

He simply pretended that he didn't know, so that his wife wouldn't feel guilty in front of other people's wives.

Chen Rou did not ask any more questions. After all, they just went to take a bath together. What else could she say? Li Dayuan would not necessarily tell the truth to her Guobin.

Her Guobin is not the kind of person who would ask him about such private matters.

The couple cuddled together and fell asleep. It was a very cold day and it was snowing heavily outside.

The next morning, Chen Rou and Han Guobin both slept late, so Han Hang got up to cook breakfast.

The couple has been really busy recently. Now that they have vacation, they can sleep a little longer. The quilt in winter is really comfortable.

In the room, Han Guobin and Chen Rou slept until eight o'clock. After waking up, they were not in a hurry to get up. The couple were making noises in the bed.
