The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 82 (Part 3)

"How do you talk to your third aunt?" Han Guoli scolded her daughter.

"That's right. Brother Zhou, Chengzi and Little Four are busy themselves, but today they asked grandpa and grandma to go back home. Isn't it obvious that they want to order Brother Zhou, Chengzi and others around? Who do they think is a fool? Their own two sons are precious eggs, while other people's are just lumps of dirt!" Yaoyao snorted.

"I think you're itching for trouble!" Han Guoli glared at her.

"I think you should worry less, mom. Grandpa and his family have favored my third uncle all their lives. Now that they are old, they deserve to be supported. Even if you take us to court, they should be the ones to support us. Don't act like they are asked to support grandpa and grandma and the whole family has to give in to them. Why didn't you say anything when they got the benefits?" Yaoyao said bluntly.

Han Guoli is about to get the bamboo sticks.

"It's New Year's Day now. Mom, if you hit me at this time, I will be unlucky this year and next year. I will take the high school entrance examination next year. Come on if you want to hit me!" Yaoyao said.

"I've raised you to this age and you're already here to make me angry!" Han Guoli couldn't help but say.

"I'm too lazy to make you angry. If I really want to make you angry, I'll go get a boyfriend. That's how I make you angry." Yaoyao said.

Han Guoli said to Zhang Jiang who was walking back with his bicycle, "Did you hear what your good daughter said? I raised her in vain!"

"You've not raised me in vain. This scarf is very warm." Zhang Jiang said with a smile. He had a new scarf around his neck, which his daughter learned to knit.

"She did it to show her filial piety to you, so she didn't call me either." Han Guoli said sarcastically.

"I want to knit it, but didn't you say no, mom? If my second aunt hadn't taught me, you wouldn't care about me." Yaoyao snorted, then turned around and went back to her room. She took out a half-knitted new scarf from the cabinet. The style was obviously women's, but it wasn't finished yet. She would give it to her mother after it was finished to avoid her nagging.

Han Guobin and Chen Rou didn't bring the eldest brother and Yaoyao home until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Yaoyao came with them, and this year they went home to celebrate the New Year. As for Han Guoli, Zhang Jiang and Zhang Haohao, they didn't go back because they had to stay and look after the house. There were so many big items, how could they feel at ease?

Ludan, Tiedan and the others all returned as well, and their wives went home early.

Last month, brothers Ludan and Tiedan pooled their wages to buy a TV for their family. Although it is black and white, it is still very rare.

Mrs. Han called him a bad boy for wasting money. Why did he buy such a big item? But the smile on her face never faded.

Oh, how could I have dared to think about this before? I never thought that I would be able to afford such a big item as a TV!

I have to wipe it twice a day to keep it dust-free. When not in use, I cover it with a clean cloth. I treasure it so much.

When Chen Rou and Han Guobin returned home, the house naturally became lively.

Chen Rou was busy in the kitchen with Han Zhou, Han Cheng and Yaoyao. The eldest brother was talking to the old village secretary and other elders of the Han family in the house. Han Guobin was responsible for making tea.

These are the etiquettes that people in the village should follow. Although they have made progress, they still appear humble and don't ignore people.

The tea that Han Guobin brought out for the guests was also good tea. The Han family was a big family in the village. Even though the elders above them were a bit far away, they were still elders of the clan. When people came to him politely, he would entertain them politely.

This year, the old party secretary decided that next year, Han Guogang would be the village party secretary and he would retire.

Han Guobin didn't say anything. Everyone in the family stayed up from noon until around four in the evening before returning home.

Yaoyao said with a smile: "Second uncle and second aunt are very popular. Look at the old house, not even a mosquito goes over there."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "You are just a talkative person."

"I'm not just talking nonsense. This can tell whether a person is successful or not. Everyone has sharp eyes." Yaoyao said.

Chen Rou said, "Go call Baozhu over. You three sisters can gather together later. I'll give you a plate of mutton dumplings with some drinks."

"Orange, let's go over and shout together." Yaoyao said.

Han Cheng followed along, and Yaoyao grumbled to her, "You didn't go over to help clean up the old house, and the third aunt came over to nag my mom, saying that her two precious sons had to come back to do that work!"

"Our arms are sore from cleaning up by ourselves, so my second brother is going to help clean up the old house. The fourth brother and I don't want to move." Han Cheng said.

"Don't go even if you can!" Yaoyao snorted, "You think you're great, but that's nothing. Second Aunt is even more awesome, and she never shows off. She thinks about ordering people around every day. I think grandma is being ordered around by her a lot over there."

"It's a willing fight and a willing beating. Grandma is happy about it too. She has been full of energy since entering the city. After coming back, she did nothing but waited for us to come over. She went out and talked for most of the day, all praising Third Aunt." Han Cheng curled his lips.

"My grandma and grandpa are so stupid. I don't know what they are thinking. My second uncle and second aunt are so good to each other, why can't they see it?" Yaoyao wondered.

Han Cheng smiled and said, "Don't flatter me. Go and ask Sister Baozhu to have some mutton dumplings with you."

Mrs. Han, who was frying dough sticks, came over and asked, "Would you like some dough sticks?"

"Eat it, it's delicious." Han Cheng took one with a smile, and Yaoyao also took one and ate it, saying, "It smells so good. Auntie, if you open a stall in the city, I think you will definitely do good business."

Mrs. Han was very happy: "You are so sweet. It's ok to fry them for your family, but if you start a business, it will cost a lot of money. If you can't sell them, you will lose money. I can't bear to do that."

The two girls smiled and called Han Baozhu to come over together. Mrs. Han also asked them to bring a plate of fried fruits.

The fourth child liked it very much and said, "The Madam is becoming more and more generous now. She is even willing to make fried fruit."

"You eat your mother's food and yet you dare to say bad things about her?" Chen Rou said to him.

"I didn't say anything bad about my empress. She's very nice." Little Fourth said with a grin, "We came back to eat there. She chopped some pig's feet for us to stew with peanuts. It was very delicious."

Chen Rou smiled and said, "Don't get the oil on yourself."

"I know, I'm not a child anymore and I still need your orders." said the fourth child.

Chen Rou ignored her and ate mutton dumplings today, with dipping sauce and various drinks. It was delicious.

The whole family gathered together to eat. Baozhu, Yaoyao and her two sisters Chengzi ate together and talked about their plan to go to Beijing next year.

Han Baozhu wanted to go very much, but was a little hesitant: "I'm afraid my mother won't let me go. It's so far."

"Take your New Year's money and we'll buy our own tickets and go there ourselves." Han Cheng said.

Han Guobin said, "Be good and I will reimburse you for your round-trip tickets."

"Really?" Yaoyao and Baozhu's eyes lit up, and Chengzi also smiled at her father.

"Really." Han Guobin said, "Only if you are obedient."

"There are still some sisters among us who are not obedient. Listen up." Yaoyao said hurriedly.

"That's right." Baozhu nodded repeatedly.

"That's fine, but you have to be careful when you go there. You have to go together and no one is allowed to be alone. If there is anyone you don't know or understand, find the police immediately." Han Guobin said.

I understand all this and there is no need to explain it.

Chen Rou didn't care about these. After the meal, she asked the children to clean up. She brought some snacks and came over to Han Dasao. Han Dasao had just finished her meal, so she sat down with her to watch TV. At this time, Dagui's wife and the others had not finished cleaning up yet, so she went over after they had finished cleaning up.

Mrs. Han said, "I went to see Ah Fang a few days ago. Now you don't have to worry about me at your place."

"As long as we live a good life, no one's life can be bad." Chen Rou said.

"That's right. I told her not to be as narrow-minded as the previous one. She has taken care of my nephew for half her life and spent her best years on him. She should just live her own life in the future." said Mrs. Han.

If it were Han Dasao herself, she might not be able to do what her cousin Wu Afang did. She raised her child for more than ten years by herself. How old was she back then?

Speaking of which, Mrs. Han is somewhat impressed by her cousin.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "No need to tell her these things, she knows them herself."

"I think your third brother and your mother treat her well. They just don't want her to be confused, so they nag her too much. She was able to marry your third brother and now has a fat boy. I think those days in the past were hardships given to her by God. After she got through them, she ushered in the good days now." said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou smiled and turned to talk about things in the village.

Mrs. Han remembered and whispered, "During the winter festival, that shameless Ye Zhiqing came back again!"

Chen Rou frowned: "What does she mean?" After so many years, this Ye Zhiqing has to come back to disrupt the lives of Han Guogang and his son?

"She must have been having an affair outside and couldn't have children, so she wanted Hu Zi and Hu Niu. She even bought them clothes, shoes and other things when she came back this time, but Second Aunt told her to throw them away and didn't want any of them," said Mrs. Han.

"Of course I don't want hers." Chen Rou said calmly.

Mrs. Han sighed, "But after all, she is the mother of Huzi and Huniu. I'm afraid she will be blamed for this in the future."

"What can she deny? At most, we just give her some living expenses. When she goes out to work, she can still come back to us. It depends on who talks to her." Chen Rou said.

"This is just like a toad on the instep. It doesn't bite people, but it's annoying." said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou saw Tiedan's wife and Ma Yulan's sister-in-law cleaning the table and the kitchen and doing housework. She smiled and said to Han's sister-in-law, "Now you are happy, sister-in-law. You have married two good daughters-in-law. The mother-in-law is kind and the daughters-in-law are filial. There are still good days ahead."

Mrs. Han smiled happily: "Your eldest brother and I can still work, and we can save money for our retirement. We will try not to be a burden to them in the future."

"Don't worry about this. Everything will be fine. Don't worry." Chen Rou comforted.

The two sisters-in-law sat for a while, then came over with snacks and called Zhou Zhen, Cai Lihua and others to come to the house of the eldest daughter-in-law.

There were a bunch of women there, and it was very lively.

Han Guobin was not at home either, he went out and sat down.

Xiao Laosi and his friends were playing cards at home, and some familiar friends from the village came over to sit at their home.

This is the Chinese New Year, a lively and bustling year.
