The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 73 (Part 3)
The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 73 (Part 3)
"My third cousin and his family haven't been back for many years." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. She and Su Mianmian used to exchange letters in the early days, but they were busy in the following years and rarely wrote to each other. However, their relationship was still very good.
"I haven't been back for some years. You haven't seen my four sons. They all look just like you and your third cousin. When they grow up, they will be just like you and your cousins, all of them will marry girls!" said Chen's mother with a smile.
Chen Rou also wanted to laugh.
Her third cousin was jealous of the girl. After Su Mianmian gave birth to her first child, she started saying that she didn't want to have any more children. But after she gave birth to the first child and took good care of her, she became pregnant with the second one and also said that she didn't want to have any more children. Later, the third one was born and she still said the same thing.
The last one, Su Mianmian, really doesn’t want it, but doesn’t she just want to have a girl?
Unfortunately, the fourth child is still a son. With four sons in a row, her uncle is very happy.
Later, Su Mianmian also wrote a letter, full of complaints, complaining that her third cousin was so cruel that he even wanted to take over the fifth cousin.
But unfortunately, family planning became stricter and he could no longer have children, so she just pushed him to get a sterilization.
Like Chen Rou, they all gave birth to four children.
"I'll ask the eldest brother to go to my uncle's place and tell them to come over for the New Year." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Well, walk around more." Mother Chen nodded.
Chen's mother stayed for a while and then went back. Chen Rou asked her to take some bacon back with her, which she had made herself during the twelfth lunar month.
He also took some more and asked Han Hang to ride his bicycle to his great uncle's house to deliver New Year's goods.
Naturally, I also saw Gu Chengyao and Su Mianmian.
After greeting his cousin and aunt, Han Hang told them that his parents had returned home and invited them to spend the New Year at their home.
"Tell your parents that we will go there on New Year's Day." Su Mianmian said with a smile.
"Okay." Han Hang nodded with a smile.
After giving the notice, he went back. There was a hen given by Su Mianmian tied to the car as a return gift.
Chen Rou smiled and said, “This is also given to such a big hen.”
"My third cousin asked me to bring it back. She and my third cousin will come over on New Year's Day." Han Hang said.
"Okay, prepare all my delicious dishes." Chen Rou said with a smile.
After dinner in the evening, the women in the village who were familiar with Chen Rou came over. Cai Lihua, Zhou Zhen and others all came. They also called Mrs. Han, and then they came to Dagui's house together.
With them coming over, Dagui's house naturally became lively.
The noble wife smiled and said, "I was just about to find someone to call you over, and you're here."
"Of course you have to come. Please make this pack of good tea. People's lives are better now, so you have to cleanse everyone's stomachs." Chen Rou handed her a box of tea and said with a smile.
"We have some at home, so why did you bring it here?" said Dagui's wife.
"The tea you have is definitely not as good as the one brought by Chengzi's mother." said Shuanzi's wife.
"Yes, you are not as good as me, but I also see that you drink a lot." Dagui's wife scolded with a smile.
With a big color TV at home and a group of female comrades like these, wouldn't it be lively?
Dagui smiled and said, "You guys take a seat. I'll go to the village party secretary's house with Guobin."
Han Guobin then put on his clothes and came out, carrying two jars of good tea in his hands. The four brothers gave them to him as favors, and they were both excellent teas.
The men gathered together, and the women also talked here.
Everyone has lived a good life this year. The harvest was good and they made a lot of money. Life has been getting better every year.
For example, Cai Lihua's family is planning to buy a TV next year, and Shuanzi's wife also has the same idea.
"If you want to buy them, just go to the mall. Donkey eggs are usually sold there. If they are bought by people from our village, we must give them a discount." Chen Rou smiled and said, "But Guobin is also in partnership with others, so he can only make limited decisions."
"It's fine to run a business like this on your own. Why would you want to form a partnership with someone else?" said Shuanzi's wife.
"How can business in the city be so easy?" Chen Rou shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have connections. If you keep running a shop like that, how much capital will you have to put in there? Are you afraid of thieves? And the location in the mall was also found by someone else. You have to cooperate with others. You can't do it on your own."
Shuanzi's wife nodded: "That's right, is the person we are working with so capable?"
"Little Fourth's godfather is also one of the partners. There are several of them." Chen Rou said.
The topic did not dwell on this and soon turned to the most popular people at the moment, Han Guogang and Ye Qian.
"I think Ye Zhiqing was definitely abandoned by the man outside, so she thought of Guo Gang's kindness to her and came back!" Zhou Zhen said.
"Who in our village doesn't know what kind of person this is? If she hadn't messed around, I would definitely not believe it!" said Mrs. Han.
"If she goes out and follows another man, how can she not have children?" Cai Lihua also said. Her mother-in-law has been having heartburn recently, worried that her uncle will lose his mind again and let anyone in.
"There must be no child. If there was a child, how old would the child be? And would he come back even if he had a child? If he had such a conscience, he would not have left for so many years." said Shuanzi's wife.
"She came to my place today. From what she said, I could see that she wanted to reconcile with Uncle Guogang. I think she is quite confident." Chen Rou said to Cai Lihua.
Cai Lihua said, "He came to my place yesterday and tried to get me to speak up for him, saying that we would be sisters-in-law from now on. I thought to myself, who would be sisters-in-law to you? He is only here to see my brother-in-law getting rich. Otherwise, he would have come back to take a look after himself this time and stay here. I don't believe it!"
"That's what I thought. She must be having a hard time living outside. I thought about how Uncle Guogang protected her in the past, so I came back to see him. Then I found out that Uncle Guogang had become a big pig farmer, one of the best in the village, so I wanted to stay." said Mrs. Han.
"It doesn't matter what she thinks. No one supports her anyway. I'm wondering what your brother-in-law thinks." The noble wife looked at Cai Lihua and said, "I haven't seen him express his opinion in the past two days."
"My mother-in-law is worried about this. She's afraid that he will make a mistake and it will be a misfortune for the family if he enters the house like this," said Cai Lihua.
Cai Lihua was not a mean person, but if she were asked to become a sister-in-law to Ye Qian, even if they had separated, Cai Lihua would still feel uncomfortable.
He was not a serious person in his early years, and he passed away later. No one knows what he has been through over the years, but needless to say, it is definitely not a bright one. After all, this is just his personality.
It was originally a good year, but now calling her back is filled with chaos!
"I also saw her buying things for Huniu, but Huniu threw them directly on the ground and didn't take hers." said Shuanzi's wife.
"Hu Niu and Hu Zi are both very sensible siblings. There is no way they would recognize her. It's good enough that they don't hate her to death." Cai Lihua said.
We chatted and played cards, and came back when the time was almost up.
Han Guobin hasn't come back yet. It's almost ten o'clock. He just came back from the village party secretary's house, and the children are all asleep.
Chen Rou was sewing shoe soles in the house, waiting for him. She opened the door and let him in.
"It's lively over there tonight?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"There were quite a lot of people." Han Guobin smiled and said, "I just drank a little more tea and came back a little late."
"Has Uncle Guogang been there?" Chen Rou asked as she took off his coat and hung it up.
"It's over." Han Guobin nodded. He knew what his wife wanted to ask, so he said, "He knows what's going on."
Chen Rou said: "It's enough to know. I don't want to see his bright future ruined by Ye Zhiqing." It is said that admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve oneself. This is true, but it also depends on what the matter is.
Some people who cross the bottom line must pay the price, even if they know they are wrong. Over the years, Han Guogang has been both a father and a mother, and he has finally raised two children. He has already paid the price.
Everyone respected him as a man and stopped talking about the past.
But if he accepted Ye Zhiqing this time, he would really be of low status in the eyes of the villagers.
Ye Zhiqing's mistake was really outrageous. Regardless of whether she really wanted to come back and live a stable life with him now, her mistake was beyond the scope of forgiveness.
Back then, Second Aunt Han was a widow who remarried, but no one would say anything bad about her. Her behavior was unacceptable.
Especially, Ye Zhiqing may not know that he is wrong.
What Cai Lihua said was not groundless. It was very likely that her conscience was finally awakened, so she came back to take a look.
Maybe she wanted to come back to show off and let people know how well she was living, but who would have known that when she came back she would find that the village had changed in the past ten years.
Han Guogang has even become a large-scale breeder, with an annual income of several thousand!
That's why I want to stay and be the boss's wife.
Especially that confident spirit, which Chen Rou found annoying, as if he was determined to get it, as if it was as easy as taking something out of a bag.
As long as she stays, Han Guogang will remain the same.
Han Guobin laughed: "Guogang has faded away."
Ten years later, what kind of relationship can remain the same? Who can wait for someone for ten years, especially when the relationship between the two is not a life-and-death relationship, but they are almost a couple of enemies.
Chen Rou nodded and didn't mention what happened between Han Guogang and Ye Qian. It was getting late and she was ready to go to bed.
"Wife, let me be nice to you for a bit." After turning off the lights, Han Guobin wanted to be naughty and said.
"Go to bed quickly, it's getting late." Chen Rou hit him lightly.
Han Guobin smiled, then hugged his wife and went to sleep, saying, "Wife, go to bed early."
"Yeah." Chen Rou leaned into his arms and hummed softly.
It was snowing heavily outside, but the sight of the couple sleeping in each other's arms inside the house was heartwarming.
Han Guogang also went to the village party secretary's house with Han Guobin tonight. They came out together, and on the way home, he saw Ye Qian.
It was obvious that Ye Qian was waiting for him.
