The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 83 (Part 1)

Last year’s New Year was more lively, but this year’s New Year is not that lively.

Although Ye Zhiqing's return last year caused a lot of gossip, Su Mianmian and Gu Chengyao also came back with four little tigers.

He even came to my house specially to sit with me on New Year's Day.

Their family is missing this year, but there are still quite a few people from other families.

Gao Zheng from the neighboring village also came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

He really envied his brother Bin. They used to go hunting in the mountains together, and later they went straight to work in the city.

Now, of course, he has become rich.

The TV his family bought this year was also from the Qifan Furniture Store in the shopping mall. It is very useful.

Gao Zheng is one of the few families in the village who can afford a TV, and he has made a comeback over the years.

You have to know that at that time, his family was extremely poor because of the medical treatment for his father. The only way to marry him a wife was to help buy a pot.

It can be seen how unwelcome it was at that time.

He didn't do anything else that was illegal, but being poor was his original sin. Even though everyone was poor back then, it was rare for a family to be as poor as his.

Fortunately, it all came together.

But over the years, his relationship with Han Guobin has always been very good. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Han Guobin even brought a box of tea to his house.

He came here on the first day of the new year.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the whole family came to Lao Chen's house after breakfast.

An Dabao and Chen Sijie have already arrived. Brothers An Wen and An Wu did not go home this year, so the couple must be feeling a bit lonely this year.

When they came back last year, Sister Chen also disliked them, but this year she couldn't help but complain about them, saying that the two boys had no conscience and didn't even come back during the New Year.

But the two brothers were too busy. They went to university in Shanghai and were arranged to intern in the hospital during the New Year to gain some clinical experience, so they really had no time to come back.

Chen Rou said, "If you miss your son, you can move to Shanghai with my brother-in-law. Now that we are familiar with the business, it doesn't matter where we do business."

"Although I am thinking about her, it's not that exaggerated. We have to move there. It's not like she is a daughter. If it were a daughter, Dabang and I might move there. But the two brothers can go there by themselves, and they can do the same when they get married in the future." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.

In the blink of an eye, I am almost old enough to get married.

Chen Rou also smiled, and Fourth Sister Chen took the little nephew from Wu Afang's arms and said, "He looks like his father, especially these eyes, which are exactly the same as his father's. He must be a smart boy."

Wu Afang smiled and said, "If he can be as successful as his father, then I will be satisfied."

Brother Chen San glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Rou and Chen Sijie looked at each other and knew what was going on.

Wu Afang is going to the kitchen to busy herself.

"Second brother, Chengzi, and little fourth brother, go to the kitchen to help your third aunt." Chen Rou said.

"No need, I can do it myself." Wu Afang said.

"There are so many people here. You can't handle it all by yourself, Third Aunt. We will help you and the work will be quicker." Han Cheng said with a smile.

Wu Afang smiled and said, "Okay, come here." and went to the kitchen.

Chen Rou and Chen Sijie carried their little nephew into the house to talk to Chen's mother.

Now that her third brother's niece Juhua is married, Chen Rou and Chen Sijie each gave her 100 yuan as a dowry, and did not give her anything else, because Third Brother Chen had already prepared everything for the dowry.

The other party is also a well-known family in the man's village. They are a cadre family in the village and have a good reputation. Naturally, they cannot let their daughter be looked down upon.

The betrothal money was accepted, but it was all given to his daughter as a dowry. Brother Chen San also gave his daughter a dowry, and he married his daughter off in a very grand manner.

Now only Chen's father and mother, Chen's third brother, Wu Afang, and their three sons are left in the family.

Lei Zi and Yu Tou were born to Huang Aidi, and this little nephew Guang Guang was born to Wu Afang.

When Chen Rou asked about Juhua, Chen's mother smiled and said, "She won't come this year. She's already got a big belly and it's not convenient. Before the New Year, Gangzi came over with wine and meat."

Gangzi is the name of the man with chrysanthemum.

Almost all the names used by that generation were cut from the same template, and the rate of duplication was very high, especially those with names like patriotism and founding the country, which were still used by a lot of people until the 1980s.

"Should I move out and live on my own or live with everyone?" Chen Rou asked.

"They must have moved out and lived on their own. They built a brick house and the couple lived their own lives. That's the rule in their family. Whoever gets married moves out," said Chen's mother.

It is because of this that Chen's mother is satisfied. Moreover, Chen's mother is also satisfied with another point, that is, Juhua's husband Gangzi has many brothers, a total of 1 brother, and Gangzi is in the middle. He does not have to worry about being bullied at all.

In the 1980s, there were many families in the village who were bullied because they didn't have sons, and even their homesteads were forcibly occupied.

In the past, the policy was still there. If you bullied someone, you would be bullied, but you didn't dare to be so blatant. Now, when you encounter the inactive village cadres, you are bullied to death, and you have no place to complain. Even if you do, they will just try to smooth things over.

Juhua's husband Gangzi came to help Brother Chen San since he married Juhua. He was responsible for driving the tractor to collect the goods. The couple did not farm, but planted some fruits and vegetables in their own private plot, and did not plant anything else.

Many people envy Gangzi. Not only did he marry a wife who can manage the household, but he also met such a capable father-in-law. He won't have to worry about the rest of his life.

It was calculated based on the salary, and the payment was made every month. Brother Chen San didn't give much, but he would occasionally let me take a can of peanut oil home. If the family bought something good, he would usually let them take it back when he got off work in the evening.

Brother Chen San from his mother-in-law's side would also help his daughter to do some favors and occasionally ask her to make some gifts.

The couple is still young, so they definitely need help from adults.

Chen Rou and Chen Sijie nodded after hearing this. This was very good. Juhua didn't have to worry about her husband's family. With a capable husband's family, she could stand on her own and not be afraid of being bullied.

"I see my third brother is looking at Guangguang's mother and he can't escape." Fourth Sister Chen said with a smile.

"Guangguang's mother also knows how to praise people." Chen Rou said.

Mother Chen smiled and said, "Your third brother likes to hear her praise."

"Brother, has he gained a lot of weight? I see his face is rounder and his belly is bigger." Chen Rou said.

"He gained weight. He must have gained about 20 kilograms." Mother Chen wanted to laugh when she said this. "Afang can cook. She always says that your third brother has a hard time out there. She cooks sumptuous meals for every meal. Not to mention your third brother, after she came into the family, didn't your father and I do the same?"

Fourth Sister Chen whispered, "Has she returned to her parents' home?"

"When Guangguang was born and she was in confinement, her son brought a basket of eggs and two chickens. Before it snowed, your third brother took her and Guangguang back home on his motorcycle. I asked you to give some money to the two elders, and he gave them a hundred yuan." said Chen's mother.

When they got married last year, Brother Chen San helped rebuild the brick house and also expanded it to prepare for Wu Afang's first son's future wedding. This year he brought some gifts and gave the two elders a hundred yuan as a red envelope, which was considered acceptable.

Outside, Han Guobin and An Dabang didn't stay in the house for long. They followed Brother Chen San to see the oil press factory.

It used to be an oil press, but now it is a real oil press factory and is well-known in the surrounding area.

Brother Chen San hired a lot of young and strong men to help. There were almost no idle young people in the village, and they all came to work for him.

A lot of manpower is needed.

At the same time, it also provides many jobs for the villagers. The old people like to go there. There is a place reserved for them to peel peanuts and so on. Isn't it great to earn a few cents a day and take it home to supplement the family income?

I was at home doing nothing, so I fell in love with going there. They made tea there, and the water even had tea leaves in it, which was delicious.

Brother Chen San is now in the village. He is a real doer and has really driven the development of the village.

The village party secretary wanted to recommend him to be a cadre, but Brother Chen San just held a sinecure and he had no time to be busy.

Everyone in the village was very happy during this Chinese New Year because Brother Chen San was very generous. This year he gave two kilograms of peanut oil to each of the elderly people in the village who used to peel peanuts in the yard to eat during the Chinese New Year.

It can be said that I am willing to spend money on it.

They were all praising him.

The better Brother Chen San did, the more heartbroken the Huang family became.

Although they had not completely severed their relationship in the past, Old Mrs. Huang would always show off her status as a mother-in-law every Chinese New Year. No matter whether her son-in-law was a boss or how big his business was, she would scold and reprimand him whenever he came over.

Later, Brother Chen San stopped serving her and didn't even come to see her during the Chinese New Year. Only then did she restrain herself. But they would still quarrel, and she didn't get any benefits she wanted.

Mother Chen snorted coldly: "The last time I came to Huang Aidi's place, I saw Lei Zi and was talking to him!"

"Have you told Lei Zi?" Chen Rou frowned.

"Of course they have explained it. Our Chen family has completely torn relations with the Huang family. The brothers have seen clearly what kind of people the Huang family is. If they still want to recognize that grandma, they will ask for it if they are entangled with bloodsuckers in the future." Chen's mother said.

"What did Lei Zi say to Yu Tou?" asked Chen Sijie.

"They definitely won't recognize them. The three siblings hate the Huang family so much, how could they recognize them?" Chen's mother said calmly.

Wasn't it the Huang family who broke up a good family? Juhua, Leizi, and Yutou, the three siblings, couldn't blame anyone but the Huang family and their own mother.

"Has Huang Aidi reconciled with the Huang family?" Chen Rou said.

"We've made up, but it seems like we didn't get a penny from Huang Aidi." said Chen's mother.

"How is this possible? She has made peace with the Huang family, but with her personality, she still hasn't given them a penny?" said Chen Sijie.

"I guess he has other intentions in making peace with her." Chen's mother whispered.

"What's on your mind?" Chen Rou and Chen Sijie asked.

"You don't know, her two sisters-in-law from her mother's side, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, are having affairs with other people outside!" said Chen's mother.
