"Hurry up, all of you brothers, go over there quickly, Rourou is busy right now."
Brother Chen (eldest brother), Brother Chen (second brother), and Brother Chen (third brother) had just returned from work when Mother Chen began to order them around without any courtesy.
The three brothers didn't complain. They washed their faces, drank some water, and then went to their younger sister's village.
The foundation of the large brick house is already being laid, and there are already quite a few people here. After a few years of operation, Han Guobin has gained quite a reputation in the village. If he wants to build a house, just shout and there will be no shortage of people coming to help.
Especially now is the rare slack time after the summer corn harvest and planting, the farm work is not very heavy, and the men in the village will come here to help after they come back from their work.
Even if you don’t want to eat, you have to come and help. However, Chen Rou said that you don’t have to go back to eat, she will cook for everyone.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you are here." Chen Rou, who was responsible for pouring tea for everyone, saw her three brothers and said with a smile.
"Here we are, let's get started right away," said Brother Chen.
Brother Chen Er and Brother Chen San didn't say anything. Their sister was going to build a big brick house, so they had face to save and didn't want to embarrass their sister, so they started working immediately.
Chen Rou didn't stay here for long. She was pregnant and asked Han Hang and Han Zhou, who were busy helping to pass things around, "Do you two want to go with your mother to your eldest mother's place, or stay here?"
"Mom, you go and take a rest, we will do it." said six-year-old Han Hang.
"We can do it!" Han Zhou, who was two years younger than him, also nodded.
Chen Rou ignored the two brothers and told Tiedan and Ludan, who were also there, to keep an eye on them. Then she went to the brick house where Han Dasao was.
As early as two years ago, Brother Han and Sister-in-law Han spent three hundred yuan to build a brick house with two rooms. It was not very spacious, so they spent a lot less than Fourth Sister Chen's house, but it was still a spacious brick house.
Han Guobin helped to get the bricks and tiles, thanks to Lao Yang's connections, otherwise he might not be able to buy them even if he waited in line for years.
On Chen Sijie's side, her father-in-law is the village team leader and has connections, so she doesn't need Han Guobin's help.
Her family is staying here temporarily now. Actually, they could have moved back to the old house, but they didn't.
Before we built a brick and tile house, we moved back to the old house and lost eggs and food several times.
There is no other way. If the house is demolished and rebuilt, there will be no place to live.
After learning the lesson from last time, Mrs. Han decided to just stay here and not trouble others.
The person in the old house became her enemy, which shows how angry she was.
"Second Aunt." There was a little girl standing at the door, playing hopscotch by herself.
This is Tiedan Ludan’s sister, her name is Baodan.
According to Mrs. Han, this is a lucky girl, because her two older brothers didn't have to spend the same amount of time in confinement as she did.
In the month when she gave birth to the girl, she ate all the two kilograms of eggs she had saved, and also ate the two-kilogram rooster that Chen Rou gave her to produce milk. In addition, she also ate the fish that Brother Han caught.
Even after giving birth to the baby egg, she stayed in the house for half a month before going out.
It can be said that I have finally satisfied my desire for confinement.
Because of this way of eating, the milk supply is sufficient, and Baodan will definitely grow better than her two brothers.
Moreover, not long after she gave birth, her family built a new house, so the girl no longer had to live in the adobe house but in the new house.
If this isn’t called a good life, then what is a good life?
Chen Rou listened to the little girl's crisp voice and said with a smile: "Baodan is so fun."
"Yeah." Baodan nodded and continued dancing there.
Sister-in-law Han was already cooking, helping Chen Rou. Chen Rou came over and said, "Sister-in-law, after this pot is cooked, we have to cook another pot. These are not enough."
"Isn't this enough? We can't let them eat as much as they want. How much is enough?" said Mrs. Han.
"A lot of people came to help today, including my three brothers from my mother's side. There are more than a dozen big men, and these are not enough." Chen Rou said.
"So many people are here." Mrs. Han said in surprise, "Okay, I'll cook more after these are out of the pot."
After saying that, he stuffed firewood into the stove and said, "This has to be Second Uncle. So many people came to help as soon as he asked."
When her family was building their house, quite a few people came, but there were only five or six. Of course, she didn't need more than that. After all, they had to cook for them when they came to help, and so many people would consume a lot of food.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "It's all thanks to everyone's care. Guobin is on a long-distance bus trip now, and I don't have time to come back. Everyone has to help him."
"What's the big deal? We're all happy. Second uncle has helped the village a lot over the years. Now he's going to build a house. Even if we don't have food to eat, we have to come and help." said Mrs. Han.
When the millet porridge was cooked, Sister Han scooped it out. It was not too thick or too dense, just the right texture. She put it in the basin that Chen Rou had just bought. Sister Han then scooped more grain, all from the grain bag in Chen Rou's room.
Take it out and ask her if it is enough?
Chen Rou took a look and asked someone to scoop some more, then put it in to cook. She went into the house to pick up eggs, and fried six eggs with seven cucumbers.
"How many eggs are enough to eat this way?" Mrs. Han couldn't help but say after seeing it, the gap between the second brother's hands is too big.
"If you come to help, you have to see some meat. You can drink enough porridge and not just eat pickles." Chen Rou said.
"It's not too much to eat pickles. It's good enough that the porridge can fill you up. I was only 70% full at that time." said Mrs. Han.
"Fry another one." Chen Rou said.
Since all the things belonged to her, Mrs. Han naturally had no objection.
After everything was cooked and fried, they brought a plate of pickled cabbage dumplings and served it to everyone to eat.
If there are not enough bowls and chopsticks, the men in the village can only ask them to go home and get some, as their village is not far away.
Chen Rou brought her two sons and two nephews to come over to have dinner with Mrs. Han, but did not eat here.
It gets dark late at this time, and it is still light until seven o'clock, and there is nothing to do, so they work until almost evening, and then they go on strike and go back to rest.
Brother Chen and his friends didn't stay long and went back.
Brother Han talked about this when he got home: "With so many people here, it won't take long to get it up."
The speed was indeed fast, and because there was sufficient material, three large brick houses were built in just seven days.
The first room is the main hall. From the main hall, there is a room on each side.
Coming out of the main room, there is also a room on the right, and on the opposite left is a kitchen, which is also built in a very spacious area.
But that’s not all, there is also a yard, and the yard at home is surrounded by adobe bricks.
From now on, as long as the door of the house is closed, Han Guobin can take a bath shirtless in the yard without any problem.
Because there were so many people and enough materials, the house could be built very quickly.
Since the beginning of the year, Han Guobin is no longer limited to traveling between the county and the provincial capital. He now also transports goods to other provinces. Sometimes the trip takes a long time. It takes half a month for him to come back and rest for two or three days, and then he has to go out again.
Before I left, the old house had not yet been demolished. When I came back this time, the new house had already been built, and had been built for some time.
However, Chen Rou still hasn't moved in because the head of the family hasn't returned yet.
Chen Rou was very happy from the bottom of her heart when she built a new house. She brought her two sons over to help clean up the house every day. She was happy, and her two sons were happy too.
Han Guobin called out twice but no one answered, so he knew that they hadn't moved yet, so he came over to his eldest brother.
Chen Rou knew that he would be back soon in the next few days. She was a light sleeper and came out to open the door for him when she heard his voice.
"Wife, you've worked hard." Han Guobin saw his wife yawning with a bulging belly.
"Why should I work so hard? I just cook every day, wash my face quickly, and then go to bed." Chen Rou said.
After being out on the road for so long, he was the one who was tired.
Han Guobin didn't force himself to stay awake. He washed his face, drank some water, and went to bed with his wife.
Nowadays, when he is out on the road for such a long time, he is very concerned about his wife and children at home when he is busy outside.
When Han Hang and Han Zhou woke up the next day, they saw their father coming back. Both brothers were very happy.
She started telling their father how big and spacious the brick house was, and their mother also said that they two brothers would each have their own room to live in in the future!
"Okay, you two brothers can each have a room." Han Guobin nodded.
He actually hoped that the two brothers would go to bed quickly. They had grown up and become more troublesome. When they were being gentle and considerate with his wife, they were even more like thieves than before.
It’s best to move out as soon as possible and sleep on your own.
There are four people in the family, and including Chen Rou's baby, there are five of them. After getting up, washing up, having breakfast, we went to see the house.
Brother Han and sister-in-law went to work, and left the key to the house with Chen Rou.
It's true that they have been getting along quite well in the past few years, otherwise, with Mrs. Han's personality, she would never have given the key to the house to Chen Rou.
Of course, Chen Rou, the second sister-in-law, has never disappointed her over the years.
You know, after all these years, Mrs. Han and her sister-in-law Song Xiaoyu are still at loggerheads with each other, and neither of them is willing to give in.
Han Guobin came here with his wife and children.
He had talked it over with Brother Han, and Brother Han had done what he asked for, with no discrepancies.
"When will our family move?" Chen Rou asked.
"Let's move today." said Han Guobin.
Everything at home is almost ready now, we can move.
If the head of the household says to move, then let’s move!
Let the father and son go about their business. Chen Rou just needs to wait here in the new home. Don't try to be brave with a big belly.
It was not until this year that she got pregnant again in the past three years. It was not that she could not get pregnant, but she already had two brothers. Chen Rou had no objection to having another child, but she was not that enthusiastic about it either.
As for her mother, she has been urging her a lot since she was two years old. Why hasn't she gotten pregnant yet?
Although our family conditions are good, we still have to take it slow and save some money.
So Chen Rou kept delaying it until this year. Now her belly is more than seven months big, and she will give birth soon. By the time she is out of confinement, it will be just in time for the autumn harvest.
She didn't go to the fields, but went to help out in the threshing ground, and she could bring the little one over there when the time came.
Han Guobin came over carrying food, while the two brothers came over with some small things, such as small baskets.
There wasn’t a lot of stuff, so it took only a few trips to move most of it.
"We're moving to a new house. Should we set up a few tables?" Chen Rou asked.
Han Guobin said, "I'm going to work the day after tomorrow. Can we set up the place tomorrow? We've saved a lot of meat coupons. Let's buy them all and cook them."
"I'll listen to you." Chen Rou nodded.
We are moving today and need to set up a few tables for a dinner party tomorrow, so we have to notify them today.
The villagers were not in a hurry. Han Guobin rode a bicycle with his two sons. They hadn't seen their father for a long time and missed him very much, so they wanted to follow him.
Han Guobin also dotes on his son, so he took the child with him, told them not to put their feet under the wheels, and then took him for a ride.
All the children in the village who saw it couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.
This is a child who can afford to ride a bicycle!
However, the two guys from Korean Air and Hanzhou didn't react much. They have been riding these planes since they were young and it's nothing special to them.
They just wanted to go for a ride with their dad, eating a White Rabbit milk candy, sitting behind their dad, looking at the fields and villages, and the villagers earning work points in the fields. This was the beautiful childhood they would remember when they grew up.
They followed their father to their grandparents' home in the next village. Their grandfather had gone to the fields, and their grandmother was at home.
Mother Chen was just picking beans in the yard. When she saw the three of them coming over, she smiled and asked, "Are we going to set the table?"
"Yes, Mom, let's set the table tomorrow. You and Dad can go together." Han Guobin said with a smile.
"With such a rush, will we have enough time to prepare?" Chen's mother asked hurriedly. She thought it would be the day after tomorrow.
"I have saved up meat coupons a long time ago, I will go buy them tomorrow, there is still time." Han Guobin said, "Dad and Mom, you can call my brother and sister-in-law, and let's go together."
"Okay, okay, we'll all be there when the time comes." Mother Chen was naturally very happy.
"Mom, I have to talk to my uncle too." Han Guobin said.
"I'll talk to you about this," said Chen's mother.
"Okay, I'll go over to my aunt and talk to her first." Han Guobin said.
"Your father is busy, do you two want to stay with grandma first?" Mother Chen asked her two grandchildren.
"With dad." The waiter Han Zhou shook his head.
"Grandma, I'll come and accompany you next time." The eldest brother Han Hang also smiled.
"Then go quickly, it will be hot soon." said Chen's mother.
Han Guobin took his two sons to Chen Sijie's place, which was quite far away. Han Guobin took his two sons with him while talking to them, and from time to time he had to check their feet to prevent them from sticking into the car.
The boss, Korean Air, had experienced this before, and it was bloody.
He was also scolded by his wife, and of course he felt bad about it, so he was more careful after that.
After Chen's mother cleaned up the house, she sent her grandson out to play and came to the village to find her youngest daughter.
Chen Rou was putting her things away. The kang made of red bricks was covered with a kang mat, which was very comfortable.
There were other things, big and small, and she was busy with them in an orderly manner.
Until Chen's mother's voice was heard outside.
"Mom." Chen Rou came out and was very happy to see her mother coming.
"Now that we have built such a big house, we should host a banquet in the village." Mother Chen said with satisfaction.
She came to see the house on the day it was completed.
The eldest daughter built a brick house a few years ago, and this year the younger daughter also moved into a brick house. Mother Chen felt very comforted.
Chen Rou smiled and led her mother into the house. Mother Chen sat on the kang and said, "This kang made of red bricks is very solid. It will definitely be warm in winter." Then she added, "Now is the time. Moving into a new house in the future is very particular and can't be so casual."
Over the past few years, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed, but one still cannot be too particular even if one wants to.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "In our family, everyone comes in with a smile."
Mother Chen nodded and asked about tomorrow's dinner party: "You don't have to buy so much meat, just give it as a token of your appreciation."
"What else can I do if I don't show my respect?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"I heard Guobin say he wants to invite several tables?" asked Chen's mother.
"Of course we do. There are quite a few people in the village, so we'll have to ask them to leave," said Chen Rou.
"When you come to eat, you have to bring fifty cents with you. If you just give it to me, you don't have to be polite and take it." Chen's mother said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I will."
"The baby in your belly is also a blessing. You can give birth directly in your new home." Mother Chen smiled again.
"I was looking forward to having twins like my second sister, but I didn't expect to have none this time." Chen Rou said.
"Twins are good, but they are not cabbages that you can have just because you want them." Mother Chen said indifferently, "Now that the house is so spacious, you should get pregnant again after giving birth and rest well, and try to carry the baby together. If you had listened to me and given birth earlier, the one in your belly now would be the fourth child, and that would be almost enough."
Chen Rou didn't tell this to her mother, she just had to nod in agreement.
Mother Chen stayed here for a while and then went back. She went to her brother and told him that there was no need to notify the other brothers because they were not close.
Han Guobin and his two sons returned home from Chen Sijie's village.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang were not at home, and the two nephews An and An Wu had also gone to school.
The two brothers are no longer children now. When they are busy with autumn and summer harvests, they are treated like half adults.
There was no one at home, so Han Guobin asked the neighbors about the house of An Dabang's parents. An Dabang's mother was at home, so Han Guobin asked her to tell Chen Sijie.
When Chen Sijie got off work and went home with An Dabang, she was extremely tired, but she still had to cook. Neither of her two stupid sons knew how to cook. It would be great if her daughter could cook. She had been cooking at the stove since she was 18 years old.
However, these two stupid sons were quite sensible. They collected a lot of grass to feed the pigs. Every year, the pigs in their family were the fattest and strongest in the village.
Antanan came over and told everyone that Han Guobin was coming.
Fourth Sister Chen said, "I calculated the time and it's almost time. I'll take a leave tomorrow."
"Mom, I want to go with you!" An said immediately.
"I want to go to my aunt's house too!" An Wu also said.
"Let's talk about it after the New Year. You'll have to eat so much there." Sister Chen waved her hand.
"Their uncle-in-law specifically told us to bring them all over." An's grandmother said, loving her grandson.
"Let's go visit their aunt's house during the New Year." Fourth Sister Chen still refused.
It was getting late when Han Guobin sent his two sons home. After having lunch, he went into the city to inform Han Guoli.
"I'll go back tomorrow!" Han Guoli said happily.
Her mother-in-law, Zhang's mother, asked her, "Is Haohao's second uncle going to move to a new house?"
"Well, it's a brand new brick house with three large rooms. It's very spacious." Han Guoli said with a smile.
In recent years, she gave birth to another daughter. Her second brother takes care of her children. Although she is unemployed now and occasionally works as a substitute, her mother-in-law does not dare to give her a cold shoulder as she did before.
Especially when her daughter was born, her second brother brought ten kilograms of grain and a kilogram of eggs, saying that her second sister-in-law asked them to bring them. In addition, he also gave her two meat coupons.
Han Guobin didn't care about all that. He came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some supplies and brought them to Lao Yang.
He had saved up some meat coupons, but they were not enough for tomorrow, so he had to come to Lao Yang to get some more.
Of course, I also came to inform Lao Yangsheng that we will be moving to a new home tomorrow.
"I can't go over with my status. You can take this basket of eggs back to give to my nephews. As for the meat, you can go over tonight." The old sheep said cheerfully.
Han Guobin left the package of biscuits and said, "Then I'll go over tonight."
He took the eggs and went home first.
After returning home, I naturally started to inform the people in my village, as well as Gao Zheng.
Han Guobin also asked Gao Zheng to come and help this time, and Gao Zheng was also on the list of people to treat.
Gao Zheng got married the year before last. He got married at the beginning of the year and became a father at the end of the year.
And it was really because of helping to buy the pot that we had this connection, I am especially grateful to Brother Bin.
When getting married, Chen Rou asked Han Guobin to give her two dollars as a gift, as he was considered close to the family.
Apart from Gao Zheng, the rest are from the village.
After notifying everyone else, he came to the old house to inform Han's father and mother.
Han's mother asked, "How are you going to treat me tomorrow? How many pieces of meat will be on the table?"
"We don't have much money to spend. We've built a house. Our family is poor now, so we just want to have some fun," said Han Guobin.
Han's mother didn't say anything then.
But when I came the next day at noon and saw the dishes on the table, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Han Guobin’s generosity was quite impressive. Among the dishes on the table, three were meat.
There are pork ribs stewed with beans, and pork belly stewed with potatoes. There is a lot of meat on them, and there is also scrambled eggs and tomatoes. The rest is vegetarian.
There were four tables in total.
From Old Chen's side, mother Chen brought her three daughters-in-law to help, but didn't let anyone else come.
Mrs. Han also came over to help, and Han Guoli also arrived early.
Chen Sijie, Zhou Zhen, and Cai Lihua also came to help. However, there were only two stoves in the house, and although the kitchen was spacious, it could not accommodate so many people, so Zhou Zhen and the others were allowed to take their seats.
All kinds of dishes were served, three of which were meat dishes. The other dishes needed to be fryed in a pan, all with lard. They looked greasy and smooth, and everyone was very satisfied after eating them.
I no longer feel sorry for the 50 cents I brought with me.
This was quite a big expense. Although Chen's mother had some complaints, it was a festive occasion and since the guests had been invited, she might as well be generous.
After everyone finished eating, they went back and packed up their things.
After eating and drinking, Han's mother went into the kitchen. Chen's mother and her three daughters-in-law were busy cleaning up.
"Are you satisfied with the meal today, mother-in-law?" Chen's mother asked politely.
"Mother-in-law has worked hard today. Let the third family of the eldest family help with the rest. Mother-in-law should take a few sisters-in-law back to have some rest. It's getting late now." Han's mother said.
"It's not an easy day today, but I'm happy in my heart. My two daughters have moved into brick houses. I feel relieved and not tired at all." Mother Chen said with a smile.
Han's mother smiled a little fakely, and said, "That also means you've married well. I mean, without the hard work of the man at home, how can a woman have a good life? So after you get married, you have to respect your parents-in-law. Don't be like those married girls who move all the good things back to their parents' home!"
Don't think she doesn't know, she knows it very well. The second son's family has brought many good things back to her parents' home!
Mother Chen said a word of patience. Her son-in-law and daughter had just moved in, so they couldn't quarrel and ruin the feng shui. She smiled and said, "What my mother-in-law said is that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. Since she is the husband's family, she should be loved as a daughter. I think my mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law very much. My younger daughter-in-law gave birth to two children, and you took care of them all during the confinement period!"
The two of them argued back and forth, and finally Han's mother went back with a cold face.
Song Xiaoyu brought her two sons and said to Chen Rou, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Mother is just that kind of person."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I'm not worried about it. You can go back. The eldest sister-in-law and the third aunt can stay and help."
I am not as close to my sister-in-law Song Xiaoyu as I am to Sister-in-law Han.
After all, she knew very well that although Song Xiaoyu looked kind, it was because her husband Guobin got the job, otherwise how could she respect her family?
Of course, I still look down on her now and think she is just a country peasant woman. Of course, she is a peasant woman.
However, in the past three years, she has not changed much, and her skin is not much rough. She washes her face with rice water every day, and the effect is very good.
Mrs. Han, Han Guoli, Zhou Zhen, Cai Lihua and Chen Sijie stayed to help. Many pots and bowls in the house had to be washed and returned.
I brought them from my mother's home, from Han Dasao, Zhou Zhen, and Cai Lihua's home. There's no need to bother with other people. Just wash them and take them back.
There were still some dishes left in the kitchen, which were not served yet. Chen Rou did not keep any of them but shared them out.
Han Guoli was taken back by Zhang Jiang, so Chen Rou didn't give her any more money.
Mrs. Han got a bowl with quite a bit of meat in it, and she was very happy when she went back.
"Now that I'm done with my work, I'll go back first and come back when I have time." said Sister Chen Si.
"I specifically told Guobin to bring An Anwu here, but you didn't. How can you miss out on their food?" Chen Rou said to her.
I knew her sister's temper, so I specifically told her to bring it, but she still didn't bring it.
"That's nothing. I'll bring it back next New Year." Sister Chen smiled.
Chen Rou didn't give much, just two boiled eggs and asked her to take them back to her two nephews to eat. Chen Sijie accepted them and didn't delay since they were a bit far away.
Mother Chen brought her three daughters-in-law and also brought back a large bowl of meat dishes.
The house had finished inviting the guests, and Chen Rou and Han Guobin looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
But I am also happy that my life is getting better and better.
Han's mother was waiting very anxiously at home, but when it was almost time for dinner and it was getting dark, her second son's family didn't even send her any food, and she couldn't sit still any longer.
"Isn't it going to be delivered?" Han's mother said with a dark face.
Originally, she wanted to go into the kitchen to get it herself, but was stopped by the old lady from the Chen family. She had to come back first, thinking that it would be delivered to her, but it was getting dark, so why didn't they deliver it?
"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't we already eat it? Why are you sending me something else?" Han Guolin said inexplicably.
"I saw that there were still a lot left, but she didn't even send any of it over as a tribute? Did she ask her parents to take it all back?" Han's mother said.
"The Chen family has gone over to help, so it's normal to bring some back to them." said Han Guolin.
Han's mother glared at him and said, "What do you mean by normal? If the husband's family doesn't respect the wife's family, then they should respect the wife's family. If everyone is like her, then why would we marry a daughter-in-law?"
After saying that, Han's mother got angry again and said, "Guolin, go call the second son over!"
Han Guolin didn't want to go: "Mom, Third Brother treated us today, and you didn't help or pay. You and Dad went to eat together. That's enough."
His family gave him 100 yuan as a gift, but he and his wife took their two sons to eat there, and they felt that they had earned back their money with interest. If they asked him to go find his second brother, he would not go.
"We go over to eat to give him face. If we don't go over, he will be criticized by the villagers!" Han's mother snorted coldly.
"That's right." Father Han raised his eyelids and said calmly.
It would be extremely embarrassing for the son to invite guests to his new home but as parents he could not attend.
But in the end, he never came to see Han Guobin again, but Han's mother often went out to talk about it.
Now that we live in a brick and tile house, let alone inviting our parents to live over and enjoy a good life, even if we hold a dinner party for the moving ceremony, they don’t even offer any food as a token of their filial respect.
These words were passed to Chen Rou through Cai Lihua's mouth.
Because Han's mother kept talking to her mother-in-law, and of course her mother-in-law helped her speak up.
Aunt Han also said to Han's mother: "You ate it all, didn't you? My father-in-law and the brothers-in-law who came to help build the house haven't eaten it yet. What's wrong with sending some back? Sister-in-law, why are you still not satisfied? If I could marry a daughter-in-law like that, I would be happy to die now!"
Chen Rou laughed and said, "Second Aunt is exaggerating."
"It's not an exaggeration. Everyone in the village says that you bring prosperity to the family. They say that the family became prosperous after Uncle Guobin married you." Cai Lihua said with a smile.
She got married earlier than Chen Rou, so naturally she knew her cousin Han Guobin earlier. From having nothing to having everything now, it was all because of her prosperity after she came into the family.
I have a job in the city, a brick house, and I also have big items like a bicycle and a watch. My life is so prosperous.
People in the village were saying that this was all brought by Guobin's wife, and most of them agreed that she was a prosperous family.
For Second Aunt Han, there is no doubt about it.
Even though Ye Qian has given birth to her second child, the first a daughter and the second a son, she still cannot be treated well by Aunt Han.
Because the road is not that smooth.
When the second son was born, rumors spread in the village that Ye Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing were seen talking to each other in private!
Such a thing had happened between the two of them before, yet they were still able to talk to each other without avoiding each other. Moreover, not long after, word spread that the child was Wang Zhiqing's.
It was Han Guo who had just gone to work. Wang Zhiqing asked for leave on the pretext of taking a rest, and sneaked over there and got pregnant with Ye Zhiqing.
That's how this child came about.
The rumor was not dispelled until the child was born and looked like South Korea.
But Aunt Han was still angry!
There is no smoke without fire. If this was not actually said and had already been let go, who would have spread the news?
Especially since Wang Zhiqing did ask for leave!
But that stupid son was almost trapped in it, and he kept silent and just lived his life like that.
She also heard that her son had to cook for Ye Zhiqing, who was unable to work in the fields, after returning from work.
Is this a wife you marry or an ancestor you worship?
Comparing Chen Rou with the one who was caught by the guards at home, Aunt Han sighed a lot about her fate.
How come a mother-in-law like her sister-in-law can marry such a daughter-in-law, while she, who treats her daughter-in-law well, has to meet that kind of daughter-in-law?
After moving to the new house, life went on as usual.
It’s funny to say that the two sons were very happy to have their own kang, but at night, when they had to sleep alone, the two brothers were a little uncomfortable.
Han Guobin coaxed his two sons: "You are all grown-up children and grown-up men. It is your responsibility to sleep by yourself."
"But I want to sleep with mom." The waiter Han Zhou looked at his father and said.
"Mom and Dad are in the next room. Just shout if you have any problems. Don't be afraid, your brother is here." Han Guobin said.
"Brother also wants to sleep with mom." Han Zhou looked at his elder brother.
Han Hang depends on his father, he really wants to.
In the end, Chen Rou let them sleep on the kang. Just take your time and there's no need to suddenly ask them to sleep on their own.
The two brothers slept contentedly in their parents' room.
Chen Rou didn't rush to sleep. After the children fell asleep, she chatted with her husband Guo Bin: "It's very tiring to take a long car ride nowadays. You have to be careful outside. Nothing is more important than yourself."
"I know." Han Guobin nodded.
He had to listen to his wife's words. He was still a little scared when he thought about the raid two years ago.
At that time, there was an old man who wanted to sell grain to him. It was very safe. He could make money as long as he brought it back and sold it.
His colleague Li Dayuan was also very tempted and wanted to buy it and sell it on the same day.
If you sell more than 300 kilograms of grain on the black market, you can make a penny per kilogram, which means more than 30 yuan for more than 300 kilograms of grain.
However, Han Guobin stopped himself. Not only did he refuse to accept it, but Li Dayuan also saw that his face looked a little unhappy, and finally hesitated and did not accept it.
After all, if Han Guobin doesn't do this kind of thing, it's not easy for him to take all the blame.
The two drove back to the county town in the middle of the night, but as soon as they entered the city, their car was surrounded by the police who were conducting a surprise search.
It is said that someone reported the Ministry of Transport for speculation and profiteering.
However, Han Guobin and Li Dayuan looked calm and were not afraid of the investigation at all. There was nothing suspicious in the car, so naturally, nothing happened.
When the two of them returned to the dormitory, their backs were cold!
Han Guobin never mentioned this matter to his wife, for fear of scaring her and making her worry, but Han Guobin did some deep reflection afterwards.
Li Dayuan also patted him on the shoulder and said: A good wife brings less trouble to her husband!
Chen Rou was already quite pregnant, and she chatted with him for a while before she fell asleep.
Han Guobin also fell asleep quickly, and when the next day came, he went to work.
Life is really not easy now compared to before. The salary in the Transport Department is still the same, thirty-four yuan plus a five yuan food allowance.
But you will be given two extra tickets every month.
But nowadays, it takes ten days or half a month to travel back and forth.
Han Guobin seldom took the initiative to tell her about things happening outside. He would only tell her when Chen Rou asked him. And from the feedback she received from Guobin, the current situation outside was much better than before.
She estimated that the four of them would collapse soon, either this year or next year.
It seemed like things started to get better after the four people fell? This is what happened vaguely in my memory.
Ye Qian came here in the afternoon and still wanted to exchange the ticket.
Chen Rou rarely gave it back to her, and over the years she only gave her two.
This time, Chen Rou replied, "I invited a table yesterday and used it all."
"My sister-in-law treated me to a dinner yesterday, but she didn't invite me over," Ye Qian said.
Chen Rou said, "My second aunt came yesterday." The implication was that my second aunt came, and since you don't get along with her, she would never invite you.
Ye Qian sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, now that I have given birth to a daughter and a son for Guo Gang, this is settled, but my mother-in-law still refuses to forgive me. Can you talk to her about it?"
Chen Rou looked at her in confusion: "I'm just the niece's wife, I have no say in such matters."
It's true. It's one thing that she and Ye Qian are not familiar with each other, but for something like this, if she really wants to, she should try to ease the relationship herself. Her second aunt is not like her mother-in-law.
Moreover, Ye Zhiqing herself didn't pay attention, but she also heard the rumors outside.
Ye Qian looked at the brick house and said, "This big brick house is really magnificent. My sister-in-law will enjoy a good life in the future. If the man is capable and competent, the woman can live a good life."
Look at this country woman. She is lucky enough to marry a man who is ambitious and hardworking, and now lives in this spacious brick house.
Look at her again. She is just like Han Guogang. She only knows how to do farm work and occasionally catch pheasants and rabbits during the slack season. She only earns a few dollars. It feels so dark just thinking about it.
Especially after so many years, she is still allowed to live in that pig farm.
It stinks, but now I look at the bright brick house.
Just thinking about it makes me feel sick to my stomach!
Chen Rou frowned and said, "Uncle Guogang is supporting a large family now. I heard that you don't even clean up the pig farm. You don't work hard to earn work points on weekdays. The whole family is on Uncle Guogang's shoulders. If there is a good man like Uncle Guogang, why don't you try to change?"
"Sister-in-law, it's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. Second brother is ambitious and you can live such a good life. But where I live now is almost like a pigsty!" Ye Qian said.
"Then why were you willing to be with Uncle Guogang in the first place? You could have chosen not to marry." Chen Rou asked back bluntly.
She knew that Ye Qian was not likable, otherwise someone like her second aunt would not be so unmoved after she gave birth to grandchildren. But she had never had a deep conversation with her, but after listening to it today, she really understood her second aunt.
Ye Qian was shocked by what she said.
