The team distributed grain after paying the public grain tax. Chen Rou had worked hard during the autumn harvest and had managed to make up for a lot of the free time she had during her confinement period, so when she was given grain, she really got a lot.
After all, her son Guobin has the most work points.
Chen Rou came over to divide the food with Han Hang, a baby boy who was more than three months old. Everyone noticed Han Hang's fair, tender and plump appearance.
It's really rare to see such children in the countryside. They are all dirty and skinny.
Everyone in the village had heard that Chen Rou had given birth to a chubby, white boy named Han Guobin who looked like the boy in New Year pictures, but not many people had seen him. After all, he was still very young and was rarely brought out for people to see.
Today I see that she is really good-looking.
The experienced lady said, "This white and plump body shows that he has a lot of milk. I heard that Guobin often buys pig's feet and stews them with peanuts to increase milk production. This is not for nothing."
"Yes, only a man like Guobin loves his wife so much that he is willing to do so. He is a real man."
"At the beginning, I said Guobin was good and would be fine after marrying him. But the girl from so-and-so's family didn't have such thoughts. The one she married now, although not bad, is nothing compared to Guobin's wife. She got pregnant after only ten days of confinement. The last time I saw her, she was secretly wiping away tears."
“…”
For some reason, a group of elderly ladies are particularly optimistic about young guys like Han Guobin.
Especially those who get full work points, are good at work, and love their wives when they go home. In the eyes of older aunts and grandmas, such young men are the best sons-in-law, the kind that cannot be picked.
Young girls just like to be pretty. I really don't understand the origin of the saying "marry a man to provide you with clothes and food."
A man who is reliable and can support the family does not matter whether he looks fat or flat. Besides, Han Guobin looks exactly the same. He is tall and big, and you can tell at a glance that he is capable and a down-to-earth man!
But if you miss it, you miss it. Now he is someone else's man and father, so there is no need to think about him anymore.
Chen Rou just smiled at their words. As for the Han Hang kid, let them look if they want. It won't be a loss anyway.
The sour and calculating one couldn't help but said to Chen Rou with a smile: "There's not much money at home, and my child doesn't have anything to eat. Guobin's wife, if you have any extra, I'll bring it over and you can lend me some?"
This is what it means to borrow milk. I say borrow, but it’s just a nice way of saying it. You don’t have to pay it back.
"It would be fine if there was more, but this kid has a big appetite and I won't have any left." Chen Rou said.
She loves her own children, and she can't control other people's children. She is not heartless.
She knew that life was difficult for everyone at the moment, and it was normal for children to lack food. However, Chen Rou didn't want to start this conversation. There was more than one child in the village who lacked milk. If she brought them all over, would she give this one and not that one?
What if she gave all of it to her own child? She is not going to start this.
Besides, her food is very precious, and she has worked hard to get it. If there is too much, she can ask Guo Bin to come over...
It may sound a bit discordant to say this, but that thief of hers had coveted her last time.
"Are you reluctant to lend me some?" the daughter-in-law said.
Chen Rou was polite at first, but seeing that she was so persistent, she stopped being polite and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm reluctant to lend it, but my Guobin spent a lot of money, and he always gives me the good things he has on weekdays. He doesn't want to eat anything himself, and he hopes that I can eat more so that I can have more food for his son. So there's really no other way. Sister-in-law, if your child is short of food, you can ask his father to give you more food to supplement it, so that the food will be available. After all, it's his. But I also have some rice porridge at home. Sister-in-law, if you really have no choice, you can come over and exchange some rice porridge for him to feed him. It's made from ground rice, and I don't have much, but if he's really short of food, I can exchange some for you to feed him."
She prepared three things: rice porridge, millet porridge, and corn porridge, all of which she planned to feed to the Korean Air baby when they were six months old.
The daughter-in-law wants to say that you are just stingy and don’t want to lend it. It’s just a mouthful of milk, why are you so stingy?
But an old lady nearby spoke up and said to the man who was carrying food with her: "Guo Jin, are you mistreating your wife by asking her to lend milk to your son? Hurry up and take it back to nourish him, so that your son won't be left without food!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked towards the daughter-in-law, who was embarrassed and said, "No, I'm just asking. Isn't it because her son is so fat and white? I'm greedy just by looking at him."
Everyone was an experienced person, so they just sneered: "Who wouldn't be jealous of such a child? What did the couple work so hard to raise such a child? You just open your mouth and want it. You are really shameless."
Everyone's life is easy, but no one would just ask for a loan of milk. If you want to borrow, others will also want to borrow. If they lend to you and not others, wouldn't that be a waste of effort and offend others? But if I borrow all of them, will my own children still eat them?
The wife felt ashamed and hurried over when her husband called her.
Chen Rou thanked the ladies, and then she and Han Guobin used a small cart to transport the food back home.
The small cart still belonged to the neighboring Ma family. Zhou Zhen's husband Ma Dafa sent it here after he transported the grain back to the Ma family. Although her family didn't get much grain, if they wanted to take it away, they would have to make several trips back and forth, so it would be better to transport it back in one trip.
After the grain was distributed and the pigs were handed over, it was Han Guolin's turn to calculate the remaining money for each household. Last year, not much was distributed, but this year, a little more was distributed than last year. This was mainly because Chen Rou did not earn any work points except for the month of confinement after childbirth, and she even went to pull grass for the pigs on the day of delivery.
It can’t be considered lazy, so the money is a little more than last year, breaking the thirty-year mark.
But there was not much money like this in the whole village. With such a big family in the village, they got more than 300 yuan, nearly 400 yuan, which made everyone in the village envious.
But they are a big family with more than 20 people in total, so they earn a lot and spend a lot.
But such a huge sum of money is still enviable.
Not only did we get money, but we also got some cloth coupons and cotton. Just like last year, the cotton was still half a pound.
This year, cloth coupons were distributed three times, which means each person gets three feet of cloth. In other words, it is enough cloth to make a set of clothes.
However, Chen Rou took the cloth back to her mother's home and asked her mother to exchange it with her uncle, and also asked for some extra cotton.
She planned to make a small quilt to sleep on. Last year, she only had a bed sheet, which was not warm enough. When Han Guobin was not at home, she would sleep on half of the bed and use the sheet as a cushion.
As for clothes, they will not be made for the time being. Both she and Han Guobin had made them last year. She took them apart and washed them before winter this year, and they are all in good condition.
Chen Rou also cut a piece of mutton weighing about three taels and asked her mother to take it to her uncle. As for the money, she also gave it so that her uncle would not suffer any loss.
When Chen Rou went to her uncle to buy cotton cloth, Song Xiaoyu was born.
Not outdone by Chen Rou, she also gave birth to a son, also a big fat boy, also weighing more than five kilograms.
They all worked with the same midwife and gave red envelopes. They were very happy and praised the mother.
Han Guolin became a new father and was so happy.
Not only him, but also Han's father and mother were very happy.
Father Han actually likes his other grandchildren as well. He likes Tiedan and Ludan from eldest brother Han's family. Although he is not satisfied with his second daughter-in-law Chen Rou, who is a sharp-tongued wife, Father Han can't help but take a few more glances at his third grandson born to her.
After all, he was raised so well, and even if he was not satisfied with Chen Rou, it was true that his grandson belonged to the Han family.
So when his third grandson was born, he gave him one dollar, just like he gave it to Mrs. Han back then.
Chen Rou accepted it without hesitation.
However, I can only say that I didn’t treat the first three grandchildren too badly, but I really treated the fourth grandchild as a treasure.
Song Xiaoyu received a five-dollar reward, which was one of the rewards. From then on, every meal was pork trotter stewed with peanuts, chicken, eggs, etc., and there was never a shortage of them.
The fragrance from the confinement period spread for ten miles, and all the neighbors could smell it. There was no shortage of benefits and benefits.
Song Xiaoyu also had a very comfortable confinement period. Her mother-in-law took care of her personally and served her more attentively than anything else.
When Song's mother and sister-in-law brought gifts to the house and saw this, they praised Han's mother to the sky and said they had never seen such a good mother-in-law.
In fact, Han's mother was happy that she had a baby grandson, but to be honest, she really didn't intend to let her daughter-in-law spend the confinement period like this.
But the youngest son came to her and told her that his second sister-in-law had such a good confinement period, so how could his wife’s confinement period be worse than his second sister-in-law’s? How do others see him? Does this mean that Xiaoyu would not be as well off marrying him as her second sister-in-law would be if she married her second brother?
And Xiaoyu is his wife, who will accompany him to take care of his parents in their old age. Xiaoyu has had a good confinement period, and he should be grateful to her for the rest of his life. If she doesn't suffer from any postpartum disease, then he, as her husband, will have to worry less, and she is also helping him.
As for food, it must not be bad. If it is bad, the child’s food rations will not be nutritious enough and he will definitely not become fat.
In the end, Han's mother felt that this was all because of the good example set by the second son's family!
What would the younger daughter-in-law think if her confinement period was worse than that of the second son? She is a girl in town and earns much more than the second brother's family.
Don’t you deserve to take good care of yourself after giving birth? If she really loses, will she feel happy?
After much thought, Han's mother decided to let her daughter-in-law have a good confinement period.
So when Song's mother and sister-in-law came over and saw Han's mother praising her so much that the smile on her face never faded, they really felt that this kind of care was also a way for their mother-in-law to see that her daughter had married into a happy family, right?
There is no one else in the village who serves her daughter-in-law like her.
Song Xiaoyu was still thinking about another thing. On the day of her confinement, she sighed and said to Han Guolin, "Last year, I promised my mother that I would make new clothes for my parents. Now that our son is born, the fabric is in short supply. Guolin, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to my parents."
Han Guolin didn't care and said, "What's the big deal? Our son is born now, isn't he? His parents still have clothes to wear, so just save them for our son."
Apart from those foolishly filial men, many men are actually like this. After getting married and having children, their hearts will tend to their own small family.
Before getting married, I was only filial to my parents. Now that I have my own family, I put my own family first.
Those who are selfless are not included in this category. After all, some men would rather their wives and children starve to death than not let their parents have enough to eat.
But obviously Han Guolin is not that kind of person.
He looked at his son with great fondness, and his second brother's son looked like his second sister-in-law, but his son looked like him.
She is very pretty and he likes her no matter how he looks at her. How could he possibly treat his son badly?
"Then go and talk to your mother?" Song Xiaoyu looked at him and said.
"It's not a big deal. Okay, I'll go and talk to him." Han Guolin nodded.
"Then what do you want to say?" Song Xiaoyu asked.
Han Guolin was puzzled: "Just say it directly."
"That won't do." Song Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. What did he mean by saying that directly?
Han Guolin asked her what she was going to say. Song Xiaoyu had already prepared a speech in her mind, so she told him. Han Guolin felt that his wife was quite thoughtful.
But it’s all for my son, so there’s no need to say less.
He went to tell Han's mother about this. As expected of a scorekeeper, he was quite smart. He polished Song Xiaoyu's words and spoke very artistically: "Xiaoyu said that we should save all the cloth coupons this year to make a set of clothes for you two. This is what she promised you. But now that Xiao Si'er is born, we are short of diapers and small clothes. I was thinking that you still have clothes to wear, why not give them to Xiao Si'er first?"
He had named his son Han Si early on. If it was a daughter, she would be named Han Shi, but Han Si was used and Han Shi was not.
"Of course they should be kept for Xiao Si first. It's so cold, so we need to prepare more diapers." said Han's mother.
"Hey, Xiaoyu won't agree. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won't listen. She insists that she has promised you, mom and dad." Han Guolin said, "How about you go and persuade Xiaoyu?"
Han's mother was very moved, so she came into the room and successfully persuaded her "guilty" daughter-in-law.
I also talked about this with Han's father at night, and said, "The third brother's family is also filial, so let's put off making the clothes. There's no rush."
I originally wanted to make clothes this year, but my grandson was born, so there was nothing I could do about it. My daughter-in-law also had good intentions.
"Yeah." Father Han nodded. Of course, he had to take care of his grandson now. There was no doubt about that.
Inside the brick house, Song Xiaoyu was also satisfied. She even went over and kissed Han Guolin as a reward.
Song Xiaoyu was in confinement after childbirth, so Chen Rou and Han Dasao, as sisters-in-law, naturally went to visit her.
Chen Rou didn't feel anything, but Mrs. Han felt jealous again.
She didn't receive such treatment when her two sons were in confinement. Especially when she gave birth to her eldest son, she felt happy just to have a mouthful of thick porridge.
But the second daughter’s confinement period was almost the same as that of Empress Dowager Cixi, and now the third daughter’s is the same. Why doesn’t she have such a good life?
After leaving the old Han's house, Han's eldest sister-in-law put aside her sourness and began to talk to Chen Rou: "Second uncle is now alone in the mountains. He will be gone for several days. Can you let go of that worry?"
Chen Rou was actually a little worried, so she wanted Brother Han to go with her. After all, Brother Han was a pretty good guy.
However, her Guobin disagreed. Later, she thought about it and felt that it made sense. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. It is better to keep them as brothers and not involve them in financial transactions.
This is very suitable for Gao Zheng. After all, Gao Zheng is young, and he also needs Han Guobin to lead him into the deeper mountains.
Otherwise he would definitely not dare to go. It's good enough for a young man like him to just want to earn some money and marry a wife.
Facts have proved that it is a good idea to bring Gao Zheng along, but no one in the village knows that Han Guobin is with Gao Zheng. They both agreed on a time and place to meet in the mountains.
"Guobin doesn't let me take care of his affairs, so he just lets me stay at home and take good care of the children." Chen Rou said.
"Don't try to persuade me. As soon as I see the look on Second Uncle's face, I know you have the final say in the family," said Mrs. Han.
"I have the final say at home, and he has the final say outside of home." Chen Rou smiled.
Mrs. Han got straight to the point: "Tiedan's father stays at home idle after the farming off-season. Wouldn't it be great if Uncle Er took him to the mountains with him? Then they can take care of each other."
"Sister-in-law, Guobin can do it alone." She was direct, and Chen Rou was also direct.
"Are you afraid of being split up?" said Mrs. Han.
"Whatever the sister-in-law said, they are all brothers." Chen Rou said, "My son is still sleeping at home, so I will go back first."
After watching her leave, Mrs. Han went home angrily, and Brother Han went fishing.
Not many, only four or five. He said, "Send one each to the second and third brother's wife?"
"What's there to send? There's not enough food for ourselves to eat, it's a waste to give it to them!" Mrs. Han snorted coldly.
"Did you eat firecrackers? You're so angry." Brother Han said in confusion.
"You said your second uncle went into the mountains, why didn't he take you with him?" said Mrs. Han.
Brother Han looked at her strangely and said, "The second brother is married now. Why would he take me with him when he goes into the mountains to earn some extra money?" Isn't this a nonsense question?
Mrs. Han asked, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to go into the mountains alone?"
"Why didn't you say this when the second brother went into the mountains before we split up?" said Brother Han.
Mrs. Han was completely blocked. Before the family was divided, all the money she earned was given to the family. There was no share for her. Why did she ask her husband to go into the mountains and suffer with her? But isn’t this a separation? It’s still the same, right?
"Don't even think about it. Now that the family has been divided, the second brother will definitely focus on his own family. I see that the second brother's wife is not very frugal and spends a lot. It's not easy for the second brother to earn some money, so don't even think about splitting the money." The eldest brother Han understood his wife very well. After saying that, he told his eldest son, "Tiedan, give a fish to your grandparents and your second aunt each."
Chen Rou received a fish and accepted it without hesitation. Han Guobin was not at home, so she stewed it and ate it herself.
Eating fish made her a little hungry, luckily her son got up in the middle of the night to eat it, but she still missed her thief.
She told her mother to buy things from her uncle quickly.
Han Guobin came back in the morning, and her third brother delivered these things to her at night.
Han Guobin went out to get it into the house, and Brother Chen San didn't stay long and went back. It was already mid-November, the end of October in the lunar calendar, and it was very cold at night.
Han Guobin went into the mountains to hunt a while ago and just came back today. He had slept for a whole day and had enough rest. He had already slept in bed with his wife before Brother Chen San came.
Chen Rou was also very happy to see these things, especially the cloth, and said, "It seems that my uncle gave me a lot more."
"Then you should make more clothes." Han Guobin said.
"Leave it aside. I'll deal with it tomorrow." Chen Rou got off the kang and looked through the supplies, then put them aside and dealt with them tomorrow.
"Wife." Han Guobin came over and hugged her, and it was obvious that he wanted to continue what he was doing before being interrupted by Brother Chen San.
This man stayed in the mountains for four days this time and hunted a lot of wild animals. He came back today with a piece of meat and six dollars. He brought Gao Zheng into the mountains with him, so he also wanted to give Gao Zheng two dollars out of the six dollars.
But after staying in the mountains for four days, he didn't hunt any wild boars. When he came back today, Chen Rou boiled water for him to take a bath. The man had a charming aura, and he was sunny and cheerful. The strong man hugged her at this moment.
After staying in the mountains and returning home, I naturally want to enjoy the tenderness of my wife.
Chen Rou was not pretentious and soon fell for the man's tenderness.
His parents were working nearby, but little Han Hang was sleeping soundly, not affected at all.
The next day Chen Rou started making the quilt. It was getting colder day by day, but it was not easy.
Her uncle also loved his niece, and in addition to sending her cotton and cloth according to her standards, he also gave her a lot of extra cloth, which was almost enough for her to make another set of clothes, and also to make an extra pair of socks for her son Guobin.
It was not enough to make clothes for Han Guobin, so Chen Rou kept them for herself. She would look good in them and her husband Guobin would be happy.
This man has her in his heart and wants to give her all the good things.
Adding the half pound of cotton given by her family and the one and a half pounds she bought, Chen Rou made a small quilt weighing two pounds. With such a small quilt as a cushion and a large quilt weighing nearly six pounds as a cover, she definitely wouldn't feel cold.
This winter, bed will be a great pleasure.
Chen Rou is just a little worried. What is she worried about? Naturally, I was worried that I might get pregnant again.
Han Guobin would always make trouble for her every time he came back from the mountains. Of course, she also loved him. There was nothing to complain about that. It was all about food, sex, and everything else. They were all adults, and there was nothing shameful about it.
But the key is that it is easy to have children.
So after Han Guobin and Gao Zheng went back into the mountains, Chen Rou brought little Han Hang to the clinic to ask for condoms.
She didn't collect these things in her space, and she never thought about getting married and having children, so what's the use of these things?
But it can be used right now.
But the health center doesn’t have it. If you want it, you have to go to the hospital in the city.
It was a little inconvenient for Chen Rou to go alone while holding the child, so she asked the donkey cart drivers in the village. They were indeed preparing to go to the city, but that would be around the day after tomorrow, and her Guobin would be back the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Zhen also planned to go to the city to buy some cloth. Her mother-in-law had asked her to do so. When she heard that Chen Rou was also going, she came to find her and asked, "Are you going to buy more cloth this year?"
"My brother Guobin bought the cloth with cloth coupons. I plan to go to the hospital for a check-up." Chen Rou said.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Zhen couldn't help but ask.
People in the country generally don't go to the hospital. If they have any illness, they will just put it off. If they really can't put it off any longer, they will go to the health center. But only serious illnesses do they have to go to the hospital in the city?
"There's no problem. I just don't want to have a baby for the time being. I have to go to the hospital and ask the doctor." Chen Rou said.
"Don't want to have children?" Zhou Zhen was even more confused. "You are like marrying into a rich family. As for the confinement period, only your third brother's wife can compare with you. No one else can compare with you. With such a confinement period, I would be happy to have children for the rest of my life. Why don't you want to have a child?"
"It's not that I don't want to have a child. Hanghang is still young. If I want to have another one, it will take a lot of time and effort. It will also be tiring." Chen Rou said.
"It does waste time, but there's nothing tiring about it, and you'll be tired all at once. If you give birth to a child every few years, that would be tiring. It's the same whether you raise one cow or a herd of cows. I think you should get your body well as soon as possible and continue having children. In a few years, they will all be able to run and stroll, and you can do whatever you want with ease." Zhou Zhen said.
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, as if, is this the truth?
"It's only been difficult in the past few years, but seeing that your Guobin is like this, it won't be difficult for you. I'm so envious." Zhou Zhen sighed.
It was the same last year and this year. During the slack season, other men would go into the mountains to hunt wild animals to make money. They are nothing like the one in her family, who doesn't even want to move.
But since the family has not split up, it's normal not to want to move. Even if you get something good, it's just one or two pieces of meat in your mouth, and it's tiring.
It turns out that if the family is not divided, there is no motivation.
Chen Rou knew that she envied the separation, so she smiled and said, "Then I want to go to the hospital to have a look too."
Take little Han Hang to check her development and get some condoms. Even if you can continue to have the baby, you still have to think about your own health.
It’s not good to give birth too quickly right after giving birth, and I still need to feed my baby, so I still need to get a condom.
Before the day after tomorrow, Chen Rou followed the donkey cart into the city, and Han Hang was also taken along. Although the weather was cold, the little one was not cold at all.
It has been four months now, and recently there have been signs of a turnaround. The little guy has become much more alert, and he doesn't make a fuss on the donkey cart, but just keeps his eyes open looking at other people.
"It will be amazing when it grows up. It will definitely recruit a little girl." Zhou Zhen took it and was very fond of it.
How could her own child be like a monkey?
There were some unmarried girls on the donkey cart, all of them wanted to go to the city to buy nice fabrics to make clothes. When they saw little Han Hang, their hearts softened.
After all, they are about to date, and who doesn’t want to give birth to a fair and chubby son?
So I asked Chen Rou for advice. What else could Chen Rou say? Naturally, if children eat more good food and have more food, they will get fatter.
After arriving in the city, Chen Rou separated from them. They went to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up for supplies, while Chen Rou went to the hospital.
After I made an appointment, a young doctor came.
"What do you want to check?" the young doctor looked at her and asked.
"Just to see the child and see how he is developing." Chen Rou said.
The young doctor saw that she also knew about children's development, so she must be an intellectual. He felt a little regretful that such a woman had a child while he was still a single dog, but it was no big deal and he took little Han Hang over.
I smiled as soon as I saw it: "It's really well raised."
Little Hanhang was not afraid of being looked at and even smiled at him, which made him want to get married.
Then they did some simple checks, tested my hearing, and looked at my hands, feet, and other parts. Everything was fine.
"No problem, he's a fat and fair boy who will definitely have a bright future," said the young doctor.
Chen Rou nodded: "Thank you, doctor." Then she repeated what she wanted to put on and said without blushing: "I want the largest size."
The young doctors are embarrassed. This woman dares to say anything. Besides, does her man have so much money that he wants the largest size?
The young doctor said nothing and took a few out of the drawer and gave them to her.
How can just a few of these be enough? Chen Rou said, "Please bring me more. I'm usually busy and it's rare for me to come here."
"Why do you need so many? Just wash them and hang them up after use and use them next time." said the young doctor.
Although the doctor was not shy about these things, he, as an older unmarried man, still felt a little embarrassed to talk about them with a female comrade.
The key point is that this woman is very beautiful.
Isn't this something Chen Rou remembers as a disposable thing? Can it be used repeatedly? That's so unhygienic.
Chen Rou doesn't plan to get pregnant in the next few months. According to her husband Guobin's needs, this amount is not enough for one or two times.
So I took out two cents and planned to buy him some.
The young doctor confiscated her money and gave her a few more, but Chen Rou still felt it was not enough, and the young doctor was helpless.
"Okay, okay, I've given them all to you. I don't have any more." He took out a stack from another drawer, and there were quite a few.
Chen Rou was satisfied then. After accepting it, she thanked him and left with her son in her arms. She did not feel embarrassed at all during the whole process.
"Are these female comrades so bold nowadays?" said the young doctor, touching his nose.
Most lesbians wouldn't come to him because they mind that he's a man, but this lesbian wasn't shy at all and went through so many procedures.
"But that child is so cute." He then said, should he get married too? I kind of want a son. If it's a girl, that would be nice too, but she has to be pretty.
You still have to take your time to look for a partner, and find someone who is similar to him. Otherwise, what if he is good-looking but his mother is not, and the child looks like his mother?
Don't be impatient. Don't be impatient.
As for Chen Rou, after getting what she needed, she brought her son to the mall to go shopping.
There wasn't anything good to buy, but since I had come here, I couldn't go there in vain. I went to the black market and took a look. I saw eggs, but they were too expensive.
In the city, an egg costs six cents, and there are about seven eggs in a pound, which works out to a little over 40 cents per pound.
It is cheaper in the countryside, about five cents each, and a pound of eggs is just over thirty cents. But if farmers take them to a purchasing station, they only charge three cents for each egg, so few people take them to a purchasing station.
But the situation on the black market is terrible. A pound of eggs costs 80 cents, which is double the price.
"Don't think it's too expensive. After a while, you may not be able to buy it even if you have money." said the egg seller.
Chen Rou was reluctant to part with it. A pound of eggs cost 80 cents, and that's not how you rob.
"Please give it a lower price. The child needs to eat and he is hungry." Chen Rou said.
"Sister, don't lie to me. Judging from the way my eldest nephew is fed, I can tell that your family background must be good." The young man was immediately happy.
He has never seen such a well-raised child, so what can he bring up?
Chen Rou asked, "Then do you want to try something else?"
"No, I just want money." The young man shook his head.
Chen Rou took out some chocolates from the space, handed them to him from the basket, and whispered, "These are rare good things, with wine fillings, very precious. I asked someone to buy them from the provincial capital last time, but I haven't eaten them yet. Do you want to exchange them?"
"This chocolate is quite expensive." The young man said after a moment's pause.
He could recognize that it was chocolate, imported and very rare.
"Yes, it's precious. I can exchange ten chocolates with liquor filling for a pound of eggs from you. Do you want to trade?" Chen Rou asked.
The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't make the decision. Can you wait for me to do it?"
"Okay." Chen Rou nodded.
The young man immediately went to ask someone, and soon he said, "Okay, I'll give you one pound."
Chen Rou exchanged a pound of eggs with him, and then left without staying long.
The young man came over with a beautifully wrapped chocolate with liquor filling and gave it to a young man who was obviously well dressed.
The young man took it, opened it and ate one, saying in amazement, "It's really good."
"Brother, is it really delicious? The woman said she asked someone to buy it from the provincial capital." said the young man.
"It seems I didn't lie. I exchanged a pound of eggs for so many chocolates. I made a profit." The young man said with satisfaction.
Who would have thought that this young man is the ruler of this black street? However, he comes from a good family and has connections, so no one patrols this street.
Chen Rou, who had exchanged a pound of eggs, didn't care about this. She collected some chocolates, but seldom took them out to eat, and it was not convenient to take them out. Moreover, to her, they were just snacks. Although she knew that she would definitely suffer a loss in this exchange.
But it would be better to exchange it for a pound of eggs and eat them at home.
Besides, she still has a lot in her space.
But eggs are scarce. We don't have chickens at home, but we have a goose. The weather is cold and the geese stop laying eggs. Apart from those we have eaten recently, we have only saved five or six goose eggs.
There are still some eggs left in the space, but not many, so since I came across them, I might as well buy some.
After finding a deserted place, she put the watch into her space and continued shopping. After looking around in the mall, she actually wanted to buy a watch for Han Guobin.
But apart from the watch tickets, the key point is that they are extremely expensive, costing hundreds of dollars for a watch.
Even Chen Rou was reluctant to take action.
I looked at it at the counter, but ended up not buying it.
Finally, we came to the supply and marketing cooperative. There were not so many people at that time, but the cloth and other things had been almost sold out. Chen Rou didn't want that, so she bought some red dates, white sugar and brown sugar, and a pound of dried kelp. It tasted very good last year, so she bought more this year.
I won’t buy salted fish.
Before noon, Zhou Zhen and a group of other women returned home on a donkey cart.
Little Han Hang was still sleeping until they got home. Chen Rou put him on the kang, covered him with a quilt, and started to go out to get supplies.
This time she also brought back a package, leaving some rice out, as well as eggs and meat.
It's a rare trip to the city, so I got some beef and mutton. Not only did I make delicious food for myself, but I also woke up from a nap in the afternoon, took my son back to my parents' home, and gave them a piece of beef.
There must be a pound of beef.
Chen's mother felt very distressed when she saw this: "Buying meat again and again, is it easy for Guobin to go into the mountains to make some money? He just gave it to you like this, how can you be so careless, I thought you were sensible!"
"I went to the city today and saw a rare beef that didn't require a ticket. I finally bought it and cut a piece for you, Dad and Mom." Chen Rou said helplessly.
"How much?" asked Chen's mother.
"I'm giving you food, don't charge me." Chen Rou waved her hand.
"If you don't want money, take this piece of meat back!" Chen's mother glared.
"It depends on the money." Father Chen nodded.
They appreciate their daughter's filial piety, but this is not the way to be filial. When her life gets better, she will be filial to them. Now that they have just established their family and the children are still young, there is no need for that.
Brothers Chen, including the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother, had no objections. It was such a big piece of meat, especially beef, so they certainly felt embarrassed to eat it for free, so it was normal to charge for it.
The three sisters-in-law didn't think there was anything wrong with giving money, but they couldn't help but feel that Chen Rou, the sister-in-law, was really good at supporting her parents' family, and she was also bold in spending.
From time to time, she would bring a piece of meat to honor her parents. Compared to her, these daughters were really unfilial.
Chen Rou had no choice but to ask for one dollar, but Chen's parents knew that beef was not cheap, especially since no ticket was required. But their daughter said that one dollar was fine, considering it a bargain.
"The last time I sent meat to your uncle, he said he wanted to go buy mutton and hadn't found it yet." Chen's mother said again.
"That must have been an unfortunate coincidence for my uncle to go there." Chen Rou said without blushing or panting.
She didn't leave much for herself. After her daughter went back, Chen's mother cut a small piece for her brother and kept the rest for herself.
Chen Rou went home and cooked herself some beef porridge. After eating, she washed up and took Han Hang's child to bed.
The next day, she got up before dawn to stew mutton and radish soup. She also kneaded the dough and steamed a pot of steamed buns.
When Han Guobin returned home in the dark in the morning, Chen Rou had already prepared breakfast for him and had hot water ready. It had been a while, so the water was no longer hot, only warm.
"Go wash up, have breakfast and then go to sleep with your son." Chen Rou said as she saw that he looked thin.
"Okay." Han Guobin also had something to say, but he had to wait until they finished eating.
After washing up and drinking a glass of warm water, I had breakfast: mutton and radish soup with corn buns.
After eating this breakfast, Han Guobin's complexion became
