The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 79 (Part 3)

The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 79 (Part 3)

There are all kinds of big items in the house, such as washing machines and refrigerators, which were all bought by the third child and are very useful.

So the living conditions are very good.

Nowadays, we don’t even raise chickens at home. We just buy eggs from our neighbors.

Chen's mother and Chen Rou stayed here for a while, and then went back. Fourth sister Chen wanted to keep them for dinner, but Chen Rou didn't want her to, and just asked her to bring An Dabang home in the evening.

Chen Rou took her mother home and picked out a pair of earrings from her gold jewelry. Some of these were bought for her by Han Guobin over the years, and some were bought by her and her fourth sister from a gold jewelry store.

The pair she took out were the earrings she bought herself. Han Guobin usually bought her big ones, such as gold bracelets and gold necklaces, which were very heavy on the hands and neck, but she never wore them and kept them.

Chen's mother would never want this from her: "Put them all away. I don't want these from you. I want your third brother to buy them for me. He bought me a pair last time. I keep them because they are too eye-catching."

"I bought it with my own money. I didn't use your son-in-law's money to subsidize you." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"No, no, put it away." Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "When Hanghang and his family get married in the future, if you are willing, you can keep it for your future daughter-in-law to use as a wedding plate."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, but I want to give you this pair of earrings as a gift."

"If you want to honor me and your father, just bring my grandchildren back to visit us every year and have dinner with us. In the past, you asked people to bring a lot of things back home. If I want the rest, I can go directly to your third brother. You and your sister don't have to give me these, just live your own lives." Chen's mother would not want her.

Chen Rou knew her mother's character. Although her conditions had improved since she was young, her mother's concept had not changed. She just wanted the daughters who married out to live a good life. They didn't need to take too much filial piety from their parents' home, as long as the thought was there.

Moreover, Chen's mother also felt that she had taken enough of her daughter's things. The watch on her hand and the old man's watch were both given by her son-in-law.

The same goes for the electric fan at home.

There was no way she would want her daughter anymore for these gold earrings, so she just kept them for herself.

If she really wants a daughter, what's the difference between her and the old hag in the Huang family?

"Just take me to the home appliance store tomorrow to have a look." said Chen's mother.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then go over and take a look tomorrow."

Since her mother refused to accept them, she put the gold earrings away. She would find time to pool money with her fourth sister to buy her a pair, and she would accept them then.

Although she is filial to her parents, Chen Rou doesn't think that she and Huang Aidi are the same kind of people.

Also, don't avoid your mother's family just because of a case like Huang Aidi. Many families love their daughters. After your daughter has a good life in her own family, there is nothing wrong with showing more filial piety to her parents.

It is rare to see people like the Huang family who sucked blood from their daughter.

The mother and daughter watched TV for a while. Chen Rou went to make milk powder for her mother and said, "Did you and dad drink the milk powder that I asked someone to bring back last time? Don't just give it to Lei Zi and Yu Tou. You should drink more too. It's important to supplement your nutrition when you get old."

"Yes, your third brother went to the city and bought a lot of it. He's drinking it all. If he doesn't drink it, it will expire. Your third brother is a wasteful person." Chen's mother kept nagging her.

"Third brother bought a lot last time and sent two big watermelons here." Chen Rou smiled and said, "I saw he bought several back."

"Well, take one and give it to your uncle." Chen's mother said. Speaking of her brother, Chen's mother sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Chen Rou couldn't help but ask.

"Your uncle is getting older and older, every year." Chen's mother said. She has a really good relationship with her elder brother.

"My uncle is in good health, and my eldest and second cousins ​​are both filial." Chen Rou said.

"It's filial piety, but you're old after all," said Chen's mother.

"Wait until Anwen and Anwu return from their studies, and then let them go over to see their great uncle." Chen Rou said with a smile.

Mother Chen also smiled and nodded, saying, "Last time I came back, I wanted to show it to your father and me, but your fourth sister scolded me, saying why do you want to watch this on New Year's Day?"

"My fourth sister is a superstitious person. It's safer to see it first. I'm going to come back during the Chinese New Year this year, so I'll ask them to take a look." Chen Rou said.

Although there was nothing to do at home, her grandson was still young, so Chen's mother still had to go back to help. She didn't stay long and went back after staying here for two days.

It's time to get busy at this time of year. The annual autumn harvest is coming. How can we not be busy? The big warehouses in the suburbs are filling up with grain.

The shops also need to relieve themselves of grain, which at this time are all grains that have just been harvested. They are not only fresh and delicious, but also cheap.

Many families would store food at home at this time.

There are naturally quite a few shops doing grain and oil business in the county town nowadays, not just Chen Rou and Han Guobin, but in terms of business, they have not been affected much.

After all, there are so many people in the city, and there have always been many grain and oil shops, but there seem to be even more of them now.

But business is as usual. No matter which shop Chen Rou owns, they all adhere to the principle of never shortchanging customers. They have been in business for so many years and have a very good reputation. They also have a fixed flow of customers. No matter how many more shops are opened outside, the business of this shop is actually relatively stable.

There are three days of holiday during the National Day in October. The second child, Han Zhou, is now in the first year of high school and the school is intensively studying, so he still has to make up for the lessons.

Since the emergence of Han Hang, a top student, the value of the County No. 1 Middle School has changed. Principal Zhu doesn't want to wilt like this, how embarrassing it would be? So they are working hard.

This year, we have set up very good scholarships for midterm and final exams. The scholarships are for the top 20 students in the grade, and the higher the ranking, the more generous the scholarships.

This time the monthly exam was held before the holiday, but the results are not out yet. They will probably be revised after I return from the holiday.

As he was selling eggs, the little fourth child said, "In order to earn a few carrots for my little donkey, are you happy to use me, a child laborer?"

"In order to support you brothers, your father and mother work all year round. They open and look after the shop every day, regardless of wind, rain or snow. Do you get enough to eat every day?" Chen Rou said.

The fourth child choked and said, "Mom, you are becoming more and more eloquent. I can't argue with you."

"I, your mother, am always reasonable. If you think your mother is unreasonable, you can refute her." Chen Rou said.

The woman who bought the eggs smiled and said, "You must help your mother. Now that your conditions are better, your expenses have increased. It is not easy to raise so many of you."

"Of course I have to help. From now on, you can just call me Boss Han." said Little Fourth.

This made the old lady laugh, and she went back with half a basket of eggs.

Han Cheng and his father were weighing grain over there, and she helped with the weighing, then collected the money and gave the change, very efficiently.

After the peak period, you can take a break.

The fourth child started to make trouble again, saying, "Mom, I want to change my schoolbag. The previous one is too old."

"You'd better save your energy. You've only helped me so little and yet you dare to ask for a new schoolbag." Chen Rou dismissed him.

"Mom, you don't love me at all now." Little Fourth said, "You were not like this before. You always agreed to my requests."

"Don't be ashamed. How old were you before? You were a little kid, so white, tender and cute. How old are you now? You play like a dirty monkey every day. Mom has seen enough of you, and you still want to use the tricks you used when you were a child." Han Cheng said.

"Sister, you are becoming more and more like a housewife. Do you know that this is not good? You have to be a little fairy!" said the fourth little one.

Han Cheng pinched his ear directly: "Am I a fairy? Think about it and tell me clearly."

The fourth child bared his teeth, thinking of the tigress in his heart and the little fairy in his mouth.

"Mom, that stinky old man is calling me a tigress in his heart." Han Cheng complained.

"How could I? Sister, please don't accuse me!" Xiao Lao Si denied.

The brother and sister argued for a while, and then continued to do business when customers came.

When they got home after work, the fourth child pestered his mother to buy the new book list. Han Cheng took her father's arm and acted like a spoiled child to him: "Dad, next summer vacation, I want to go to Beijing to see my eldest brother."

"Go by yourself?" Han Guobin asked.

"Sister Yaoyao and Sister Baozhu have never been to a big city like Beijing. I'll ask them and ask them to go together?" Han Cheng said.

"It's not safe for you girls to take the train by yourselves," said Han Guobin.

"It's not unsafe. It only takes a day and a half to get there from here." Han Cheng said.

"That won't work either. It's too far." Han Guobin said, "Will I take you to the provincial capital next year?"

"I've been to the provincial capital many times." Han Cheng said.

From time to time, she and her sister Yaoyao would take a bus to the provincial capital with other female classmates. If there was a direct bus, four or five people would go together and go to the library or something like that without any fear.

And seven times out of ten, the naughty little brother, Little Fourth, would insist on going along.

So I am not unfamiliar with the provincial capital, nor am I very interested in it.

"Sister, are you going to Beijing to see big brother? Then I'll go with you!" said the fourth child with shining eyes.

"You ask your parents, they haven't agreed yet." Han Cheng said.

"Mom, why are you worried about my sister and I going out? And Sister Yaoyao is also very smart. With her and me here, even if my sister is stupid, who can coax us when we go out together?" The fourth child immediately said to his mother.

He knew that he should have told his mother about this kind of thing. His mother had the final say in the family, so it was useless to ask his father.

Why is she so stupid when Han Cheng wants to hit him?

"Don't be so clever. Exercise well and drink more milk this year. If you can grow five centimeters taller by next summer vacation, I can consider letting you be your sister's guardian angel." Chen Rou said with a smile.

"Three centimeters is still possible, but five centimeters is too much." Little Four said, "Besides, I'm already 1.6 meters tall now. I'm also very fierce in a fight. I'm not afraid of ordinary thugs at all!"

Don't think that he went to his godfather's place for nothing. His godfather has several good fighters, the kind that can beat several at once. So he listened to his godfather, got him a sandbag, and taught him the key points of fighting. Recently, he has been learning how to use nunchakus, and they are not just fancy moves, but the kind that is specifically used for fighting.

He is very good at fighting!
