The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 83 (Part 3)
Every day is different. I made pigeon soup yesterday and I’ll make it again today.
"Drink it. Mother will be very happy if you drink it." said the fourth child. For the sake of their mother, they had to drink it no matter what.
The eldest smiled, rubbed the fourth child's head, and said, "Don't get angry with your mother at home."
"How can that be possible? Big brother, you don't know how eloquent my mother is. I can never beat her in an argument." said the fourth little brother.
The eldest brother laughed and said, "This year when we go to Beijing, I will take you to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City."
"We still have to eat roast duck. There isn't much left at home after we share it this time. It will be gone in just a few bites." said the fourth child.
"Okay, eat whatever you want." The boss said generously: "Let's go and take a bath."
"Why do they all like to call me? It's because I'm good at back-scrubbing." Little Four sighed.
The two brothers took their clothes and went next door to call Chen Bing. Chen Bing took his clothes and went to the bathhouse with them.
When Chen Rou and Han Guobin returned home, there were only a few dogs at home. Han Cheng had gone to her third aunt's house with Yaoyao after school and had not returned yet. The second child, Han Zhou, was taking extra classes and had not returned yet either.
"The fourth child must have been called by the eldest child to take a bath. Do you want to go take a bath together?" Chen Rou said to Han Guobin when she saw the fourth child's schoolbag was put there.
"I saw them rubbing it a few days ago." Han Guobin said.
"The eldest is like me, he likes to be clean, he has to scrub once every three days." Chen Rou said while still disdaining him: "Unlike you, you only scrub once a week."
"What's the matter? Do you dislike me?" Han Guobin asked.
"That's right, don't sleep alone with me at night, come out and sleep on the sofa." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin pressed on, and the couple were playing on the sofa. When Han Cheng came back, he heard the playful noise before he even entered the door. He coughed dryly and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"Come in." Chen Rou said calmly.
Han Cheng went into the house and said with a smile, "I'm going back to my room. Dad and Mom, you guys continue. I didn't see anything."
"You even make your daughter laugh." Chen Rou scolded with a smile, then got up and went to the kitchen to stew pigeon soup.
Han Guobin was watching TV with a smile on his face.
The second, third and fourth children all went home at about the same time, and dinner was almost ready when they came back.
The eldest had some, the second oldest had some, but the others had none. There was only this baby pigeon left, and each person got a bowl of soup.
I had eaten the rest yesterday, so I had nothing to eat today.
"Brother, when you are free, go to the shop and weigh yourself to see how much weight you have gained. I guess it's at least ten pounds." Han Cheng said with a smile.
"You've gained weight, really gained weight. When I was rubbing your back when you first came back, you looked skinny. Today, you look really strong and full of meat." The fourth little brother nodded.
"You can tell he's fat just by looking at his face." The second brother also said.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly," Chen Rou said.
The family talked and laughed while eating. The eldest son took care of the dishes himself, and after cleaning up, they came over to watch TV together.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang came over.
As soon as Sister Chen Si came over, she called Chen Rou into the house.
"What's wrong?" Chen Rou looked at her fourth sister and couldn't help but ask, why does she look so weird?
"Little sister, this is really embarrassing." Sister Chen Si said a little embarrassedly.
"What's the matter?" Chen Rou looked at her puzzled.
"I'm afraid I'm pregnant." Sister Chen Si said embarrassedly.
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, and looked at her sister in surprise: "Fourth sister, you are not wrong, are you? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Not yet, but it's been postponed for ten days this month and it still hasn't come. I just remembered it today." Sister Chen Si said with an embarrassed look on her face.
She is already this old, who would have thought she was pregnant? She and An Dabang worked very hard together. When they were young, they wanted to have another child, but they couldn't. They thought they would never have another child, so they didn't even get sterilized or use contraception. There has been no news for so many years.
But who knew this actually existed?
But she is at this age now, it is really embarrassing.
"She must have recovered." Chen Rou said with a smile, "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. If she is really pregnant, what do you think? And what about my brother-in-law?"
"Dabang is a little worried that my body can't handle it." Sister Chen Si said, "But if I'm pregnant, I'll give birth to the baby. I hope it's a girl, but if it's a boy, I'll accept it, but I want to give birth to the baby."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then give birth."
Chen Sijie didn’t tell her family about this news for the time being. She only told them after Chen Rou and Han Guobin went to bed that night.
Han Guobin was stunned for a moment and said, "At this age, isn't the pressure a bit too much?"
"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to fight me again?" Chen Rou said to him.
"I'm just saying." Han Guobin, how could he really let his wife have another baby at her age? "Do they want to have this one?"
"My brother-in-law was also worried that he couldn't bear it because of his old age. But my sister wanted it at the time and she was looking forward to it. This was also an unexpected surprise." Chen Rou said.
At this age, this is truly a case of an old clam giving birth to a pearl.
The next day, Chen Rou came to the bun shop and waited for her fourth sister. Her fourth sister didn't arrive until almost ten o'clock. Chen Rou left the rest to Han Guoli and Aunt He to clean up, and then went to the hospital with her fourth sister.
The result of the examination was that she was pregnant.
And Sister Chen Si is now a truly elderly mother, so Chen Rou asked her to undergo a systematic examination and found that Sister Chen Si was in very good physical condition.
"There are no other major problems, but now that I'm old, I have to be more careful. I should eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more and rest more." said the director.
As for those who are covered by family planning, they don’t have a household registration here, so we have no right to restrict them coming here.
When the two sisters came out of the hospital, the smile on Sister Chen's face couldn't be brighter.
Chen Rou said with a smile: "When An Wen and An Wu come back this year, there will be a younger brother and sister in the family. The two brothers will be so excited that their eyes will pop out."
"Yes, yes, don't say anything, just wait for them to come back and see for themselves!" Sister Chen Si was extremely happy.
"Fourth sister, you have to pay attention to your nutrition and your body." Chen Rou said.
"How could I not know this? Don't worry, now that the conditions are met, I will go directly to the hospital to give birth in the future." Sister Chen Si said.
Chen Rou nodded and sent her fourth sister home first. After that, she came to the grocery store and told Han Guobin this.
Han Guobin was both envious and amused, he is already at this age.
Seven days later, the eldest brother left. The fourth brother was particularly reluctant to leave his eldest brother. When he sent his eldest brother to the car, he said: "Brother, if you are a virgin girlfriend, I won't say anything to you, but you have to wait until you grow up to get married."
"Why do we have to wait until you grow up?" Han Cheng said.
"I am reluctant to give my eldest brother to my eldest sister-in-law now." said the fourth child.
"Virtue." Han Cheng looked down on him, and then said to her elder brother: "Brother, have a safe journey!"
"If you miss home, you can come back whenever you want." Chen Rou said.
Han Hang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he hugged his mother, waved goodbye, and got in the car.
The car drove away at the appointed time.
Chen Rou took her daughter and youngest son home and said, "You have all grown up and will all fly away. By then, only your father and I will be left at home."
"I won't go to a far place to go to college in the future. I'll go to the provincial capital." Han Cheng said, holding her mother's arm.
"Oh, I can't promise you this. I want to join the army when I grow up. I have already made an agreement with Brother Sanhu." The fourth little brother sighed.
"You promised to study hard and go your own way in the future. Your father and I will stay in the county, right here at home. We won't go anywhere else. If you get tired outside, just come home." Chen Rou said.
"Mom." Han Cheng leaned on her mother's shoulder affectionately.
"Mom, you are so sentimental. You are almost making me cry." said the fourth little brother.
Chen Rou smiled and brought the two children to the grocery store. Han Guobin said, "Is the eldest in the car?"
"Yeah." Chen Rou responded.
"I'll go to Dayuan's place and have a seat." Han Guobin said.
"Go ahead." Chen Rou had no objection. Now that Li Dayuan was no longer in the convoy and she had cut off contact with the one in front, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
Han Guobin also came to find Li Dayuan.
Li Dayuan's shop was open, but he was the only one there. When he saw Han Guobin coming over, he smiled and said, "It's so cold, riding a bicycle, aren't you afraid?"
"I won't feel cold when I ride a bike," said Han Guobin.
"I think the car that Xiao Lao Si's godfather has is pretty good. Why not buy one?" Li Dayuan said with a smile.
"A sedan would definitely be good, especially a Hongqi brand. The key is that it's expensive. One costs tens of thousands. If I had that much money, I would convert my house into a small villa like yours." Han Guobin said.
Li Dayuan said: "It's not cheap to build a small house like that now."
Han Guobin asked, "How's business?"
"Business is still good." Li Dayuan said with a sigh: "It's just that I can't handle it alone when it's busy. My wife is nothing like my brother's wife. She goes to play mahjong every day. When I go home, I can't even have a hot meal. I have to cook for myself!"
The business that Guobin introduced to him is really good. The profit will definitely not be as much as before, but he knows how to do business. He used to sell big items, so how could he not be able to do this little business?
Han Guobin's people delivered the goods to the store, and he just had to sell them. He made two or three hundred yuan a month, which was very good.
But he is so busy, running a shop by himself. Sometimes he is so busy that he has to hold his urine, and there is no one to replace him.
He must have told her about it when he got home, but what did his wife say? Why did she have to go there when he just hired an employee?
Listen to what you are saying. Our family conditions are like now. We can't still be the same as before. If we hire someone to help, the salary will have to be at least 60 or 70 yuan.
This has to be deducted from the profit of the shop. It's good to do it yourself, but it's really not cost-effective to hire someone.
"Go back and talk to your sister-in-law about it." Han Guobin said.
"I can't count on them. I'm satisfied as long as my family can give me a hot meal." Li Dayuan said, "She goes out to play mahjong every day. I don't even have enough money for her to play mahjong!"
