Han Guobin felt guilty, even though Chen Rou didn't say anything. After all, she knew that although the man in the family had a job and didn't have to work in the fields to earn work points, it didn't mean that it was easy.
It is true that this place is not as full of dangers as it was in the end times, but hardship is inevitable everywhere in this era.
He had his own hard work in supporting his family, and she was just doing what she was supposed to do as a wife, it was nothing.
But when a man is moved, he is extremely touched.
He asked her for money and left all the money in the house with his wife. Chen Rou would give him a few dollars for emergency use, but it was not enough.
It's rare for Han Guobin to ask her for it.
"What's the point of going there?" Chen Rou looked at him.
It cost more than 500 yuan to build the house, but the red bricks and tiles in the house are not cheap.
But even so, there is still a lot of assets left in the family.
She keeps all the money worth several hundred dollars.
"Wife, give it to me. I'm going to find Lao Yang to buy some things." Han Guobin said, hugging her.
This rough man hugged her, kissed her, hugged her and lifted her up high. Chen Rou couldn't stand his enthusiasm, so she couldn't help but gave him two hundred yuan as he asked.
After taking it out, I looked at him. Two hundred yuan is a lot of money. What is he going to buy?
She already had the watch, which he bought for her two years ago. However, she didn't wear it outside and kept it at home.
So what to buy now?
What does Han Guobin want to buy? He rode his bike directly to Lao Yang's house in the afternoon.
The old sheep came out yawning and asked, "Just got back from driving?"
"I got back last night." Han Guobin said.
"You've been away for a long time." Lao Yang calculated that it was almost half a month.
Han Guobin said: "Let's go inside and talk."
The old sheep listened, led him into the house, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you ask me last time if I wanted to buy a bracelet and ring for my wife? Are there any more?" Han Guobin whispered.
Lao Yang immediately laughed: "You want to buy it now? I told you a long time ago that women only like these shiny gold things, but you didn't listen."
He brought back two rings for his wife, they were so rare.
"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded. It was not that he didn't want to buy it last time, but he had no money in his pocket and his wife kept it. And he just happened to buy a watch for his wife at that time. If he asked again, his wife would definitely not be happy because of her thrifty nature.
"Are you free tonight? Let's go to the slaughterhouse." Lao Yang had no more money in his hands. What had gone into his wife's hands could not be taken out, but other people had money in their hands.
Han Guobin gave him the money first: "Just watch me change it."
"Two hundred dollars? The monkey has a gold bracelet, how about I exchange it for you?" The old sheep looked and whispered.
Han Guobin knew that there were twelve people in total including Lao Yang, all of whom were arranged according to the twelve zodiac signs, so he nodded and said, "I'll go over tonight."
"Okay." Lao Yang nodded, poured tea for Han Guobin, and asked about the current situation outside.
Han Guobin did not hide it and told him everything in general.
There are many places their transportation department can go to now, including the logistics departments of some military units and other provinces, so naturally they have seen more.
The atmosphere this year is incomparable to previous years.
After staying with Lao Yang for a while, Han Guobin went back.
Chen Rou was waiting, and when she saw him coming back empty-handed, she looked at him. Han Guobin smiled and said, "I'll bring it back to you in the evening."
What surprise did Chen Rouxin want to give her? But never mind him, after all he knows what's going on.
Two hundred yuan is the limit. She will not take out the rest and save it as capital for starting a business in the future.
Han Guobin wanted to go to bed and caress his daughter, but Chen Rou said, "Go take a shower. You are sweating."
Han Guobin looked at himself and said, "Okay, let's go take a shower."
I carried some water to the backyard to take a bath, put on some soap, and rubbed myself with an old loofah. I came back only after I had rubbed myself clean.
Now that the wall has been built, the thatched hut in the backyard is enough for him to use.
After he came back from washing himself, he finally came to caress his precious daughter.
"Like his two brothers, they all look like you." Han Guobin said with a soft heart.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Isn't it like you aren't disappointed?"
Whether it is the son or the daughter, her genes prevail and they all look like her, but his nose was inherited by both sons, while the daughter inherited his earlobes.
He has earlobes, and there is hair on them. They are very furry, and she would occasionally rub and pinch them for fun.
She has no earlobes, and neither do her two sons, but little Orange does.
This is how she looks like her father, but her facial features were inherited from Chen Rou. She looks so soft, which makes Han Guobin feel particularly rare.
Han Guobin is not disappointed at all. Why should he be disappointed? Doesn't he know what he looks like? He is big and strong. His children all look like their mother. They will definitely be good-looking when they grow up.
"Where are the eldest and the second in command?" Han Guobin asked.
"Let's go play." Chen Rou said. The two older ones were very proud. They walked with the wind now. They had built such a big brick house at home. All the children in the village must be envious of them.
I often envy these two brothers because being able to ride a bicycle is simply the happiest thing. They dream of riding one. What does it feel like to ride a bicycle?
The eldest brother Hanhang and the second brother Zhouzhou came back in the evening. Their faces were red from playing and there was a lot of sweat on their foreheads.
I went to pour myself some water and drank it.
After drinking, they came to the backyard to find their father.
Now the ground in the front yard is paved with blue bricks and stones, just like the inside of the house, it is no longer the original ground. However, the backyard is not paved all over. Only half of it is paved, and the rest is used to grow fruits and vegetables, and Han Guobin is the one who waters them.
"Dad, you were not at home, so my eldest brother and I were the ones watering the plants." said the second son Zhou Zhou.
"Very good. Dad is not at home, so it's up to you two brothers to help your mom." Han Guobin highly praised him and looked at the eldest brother: "I heard from your mom that you also helped your sister wash diapers."
"Grandma was busy cooking, so I just lent a hand. It's not worth praising." The eldest brother Han Hang waved his hand.
"He's a good brother." Han Guobin nodded.
The boss pursed his lips and said nothing, but he felt happy in his heart.
The second brother Zhou Zhou grinned and praised: "He is a good brother, and he helped me beat someone up last time."
Han Guobin continued watering the plants, ignoring them. There was no country kid who did not fight with each other. They would fight in the morning and then get together to continue playing in the afternoon. As long as they did not fight to the point of bleeding, the adults would not care.
Han Guobin was trained like that when he was a child, and he naturally became sensible when he grew up.
In other words, Chen Rou didn't know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely tell him.
But not everyone becomes sensible when they grow up, and some even become even more aggressive.
However, as for things like children fighting, Chen Rou only told them not to bully others, but if anyone dared to bully them, she would have no problem beating them back.
The couple has such a good relationship because they are more or less similar in some aspects.
After finishing his work, Han Guobin took his two sons back to the front yard.
The sound of Xiao Chengzi crying could be heard from inside the room. Zhou Zhou, the second oldest brother, wrinkled his nose and sighed, "My sister always cries. Sometimes I can hear her crying when I get up to pee in the middle of the night."
"All children are like that. They are still ignorant when they are so young. When they are as old as you, they will be sensible and know how to play by themselves without asking their mother for trouble." Hanghang, the eldest brother, was very calm.
"It's been so long, but my sister is still not as big as me." Zhou Zhou said.
"You're already four years old, it's not that fast yet." Hanghang said.
"Brother, how old are you?" Zhou Zhou asked him.
"Six years old." Hanghang said proudly, "I'm going to join Brother Donkey and the others to participate in the autumn harvest this year. We're already discussing it!"
"Then I'll go too." Zhou Zhou said immediately.
It was a very honorable thing for a child to participate in the harvest, even if he could only earn half a work point by picking up wheat ears.
This year Hanghang went to participate in the summer harvest, and he picked up a lot of wheat ears and earned ten work points!
However, Brother Tiedan was more capable. Brother Tiedan joined them in harvesting grain and I heard that he earned hundreds of work points. Brother Ludan joined them in picking wheat ears and earned a little more than him.
At this time, a head popped out from outside, and when he saw Han Guobin, he shouted, "Second Uncle."
"Yeah." Han Guobin nodded.
The visitor was also a good-looking little boy, Han Si, Han Guolin’s eldest son, who was only a few months younger than Hanghang.
"Brother Hang." Han Si greeted him.
Han Hang didn't really want to pay attention to him, but he still came over and said, "Don't tell me, I won't take you."
"Brother Hang, why don't you take me with you wherever you go? Last time I even shared half an egg with you." Han Si said.
Han Hang was so humble that he said, "It's not that I don't want to take you with me, it's that grandma doesn't allow me to. Last time during the summer harvest, I took you there and she wanted to beat me up when she saw me. Or maybe I ran too fast and she couldn't catch up."
"Why did your grandma beat you?" Han Guobin didn't know about this yet, so he asked when he heard it.
"Grandma said that her little Si'er wants to hold a pen in the future and won't go out to play. She said that I was leading him astray." Han Hang said.
Han Si felt aggrieved, but he also wanted to go to the summer harvest. Everyone went there, it would be so lively and fun!
"Go back and talk to grandma. If she says you can go, then you can come. Otherwise, don't come." Han Hang said.
Han Si went back. As he was leaving, Zhou Zhou, the cunning little scoundrel, said, "If someone like Xiao Si who can't work goes there, then I'll go with you too. I'm better than him."
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. It's still early." Han Hang waved his hand like an adult.
Han Guobin was repairing the hoe at home, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw his two sons like this.
At night, he told his wife: "When he grows up, he will be like me, a good worker."
Chen Rou couldn't laugh. She and her husband had to live like this for the rest of their lives. There was nothing they could do about it. But she really had no plans to let her children continue the ancestral business.
He will be seven years old next year, and then I will let the eldest one go to school.
After all, the future belongs to humans. Although farm work is not bad as long as you are diligent and don't starve, if there are better options, why not choose the better one?
When they grow up, times have changed.
But she didn't argue with her Guobin about this matter. With the development of the times, he would have to let his sons study hard and improve their family status without her saying anything, instead of just carrying a hoe all the time.
Han Guobin went out in the middle of the night and came back with a bracelet.
He gave it to his wife the next morning.
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment. This gold bracelet was of extraordinary weight.
She remembered hearing from her mother that her third cousin bought one for Su Mianmian, secretly from his father, and none of the other brothers knew about it.
Of course, his father didn't suffer any loss.
However, Chen Rou did not expect that her Guobin would bring her back right away.
"Did you buy it for me?" Chen Rou looked at him and said.
"Well, keep it." Han Guobin looked at his wife and thought that she should like it, so he felt that the gift was not wrong.
"What a waste of money." Chen Rou said angrily, then put it away.
It's quite heavy, and should be not much different from the one her third cousin bought for Su Mianmian. Her cousin also spent two hundred yuan to exchange it with his uncle.
Han Guobin smiled and thought that his wife liked it very much. If the market was good in the future and he could make more money, he would buy more for his wife.
Han Guobin is responsible for all the work at home.
His wife doesn't have to do any of the cooking, washing diapers and cleaning the room.
But the day came and he had to drive to work again.
"Be careful when you go out. The children and I are waiting for you at home." Chen Rou still said the same thing.
Han Guobin nodded: "Wife, don't get too tired, just stay at home and take care of our daughter."
This time Han Guobin's trip was longer than the last one, because in some places the harvest started early, as early as September.
They and other vehicles were requisitioned and began to be responsible for transporting food.
So Han Guobin had no choice but to write a letter and send it back.
When the letter arrived home, the autumn harvest in the village had already started for two days, but when I received the letter I knew that Han Guobin would not be able to make it back.
Chen Rou also took the letter and came to see the captain.
"It's nothing. Let Guobin do his work outside. We just need to harvest this year," said the team leader.
Chen Rou nodded and took her little girl to the threshing ground. As for the two brothers Han Hang and Han Zhou, they went about their own business.
Han Guobin is even busier now. The villagers know that he is going to other provinces and other places. The fertilizers for the village are transported by Han Guobin. Other villages have also applied for it. However, their village has more pesticides than other villages because of the help of Han Guobin.
Those who specifically target pests have also greatly increased the village's production.
Of course, there are some opinions about him not working but still receiving head rations, but they are just a few sarcastic remarks occasionally and that's all that matters.
This year's autumn harvest is more daunting than in previous years because the National Day has just passed and the sky is already a little gloomy.
But there is still a lot of grain in the fields that has not been harvested. If the autumn rain falls, it will be despair.
The threshing ground was also on high alert, with the grain drying in the sun, but also keeping an eye on things at all times.
Not only their village is busy harvesting, but all the other villages are doing the same. In such weather, who would dare to come so leisurely?
It's almost like fighting.
Fortunately, although the weather was not very good, it did not rain and the grain was harvested.
Everyone in the Chen family was mobilized, including Chen's mother, who put in all her effort this time.
When he came over after finishing his work, he looked much more haggard.
"Mom, why are you so tired?" Chen Rou said as she quickly made a bowl of malted milk for her mother.
"How can it be more tiring? We have to harvest crops. Who can stand the weather this year?" said Chen's mother. If the crops were not harvested and were destroyed in the fields, she would be heartbroken.
Although all the young and old in the village were exhausted, they have finally harvested the crops. Otherwise, it would be despairing if all the efforts of the years were wasted.
After taking a sip of malted milk, he said, "It's fine as long as it's sweet enough. Save it for Hanghang and the others."
"Mom, you drank it. They have drunk a lot recently." Chen Rou said.
The two brothers were still enthusiastic about participating in the autumn harvest, but they were so tired that they fell asleep when they ate dinner when they got home at night. After dinner, they went to bed on the kang without even taking a shower.
But despite looking so tired, they were still full of energy the next morning. The energy of these kids is really unimaginable.
Of course, Chen Rou also gave them plenty of good food.
Mother Chen let her persuade him to drink and said, "Guo Bin hasn't come back yet?"
"No, during the autumn harvest outside, their caravan was requisitioned, so they wrote a letter specially to come back." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen said, "Your brother and sister-in-law will be divided into two families this year. Remember to tell Guobin to come back next time to see if there are any. If there are, bring back two pots. Your eldest brother and second brother's family will each get one."
"What about my third brother?" Chen Rou said.
"Your third brother said he wants to live with us." Mother Chen twitched her lips and said, "We won't share the money or food. Let me and your father eat with them from now on."
Chen Rou laughed: "Then my third brother is really filial."
"What filial piety? When that kid lifts his butt I know where the cow dung is." Mother Chen said with disdain.
"What else do you have in mind, Third Brother?" Chen Rou asked with a smile.
"Your third sister-in-law's family is not a good place, especially her mother. I heard from your third brother that your third sister-in-law's sister separated from the family, and she went there every few days to beg for money. She almost got divorced, but she still didn't stop." Chen's mother said.
"Is my third sister-in-law's mother like that? Why have I never heard of her?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.
"Our family hasn't split up in these years. If that old woman dares to come to see me, I won't tear her apart. But if we split up, I may not care." Chen's mother said.
The family is going to split up, so can she still manage the time and the world? She has to learn to stand up by herself. If she can't, it's not her who is hungry, so she doesn't care.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "What do the elder and second brothers have to say?"
"What can they say? Your eldest and second sister-in-law have the final say. When they heard that the family was going to be divided, they almost jumped up and lit firecrackers to celebrate." Mother Chen snorted, "I have treated the three of them well over the years. I suffered a lot back then, and I didn't intend to let them follow my old path. But you see, everyone is so happy about the proposal of dividing the family."
"The child is so old now, naturally he wants to be the head of the family. He still needs your help at this age, and he has his own ideas in his mind. It's just right to separate them now." Chen Rou said. In fact, she thought her mother would take it slow and it would take until next year at the latest. She didn't expect that the property would be separated now.
Mother Chen is just nagging. She has become a mother-in-law from a daughter-in-law, so how could she not know what they are thinking?
Just come here to complain to my daughter.
After the autumn harvest, the grain was divided and the Chen family split up, and it was a quite thorough division.
Except for the third family who did not plan to share the money because they wanted to use it for retirement, the first and second families each received 100 yuan. The food from the team was distributed, and this was also divided up, as well as other furniture and so on.
Mrs. Chen Dasao and Mrs. Chen Ersao were both very happy.
"Mom, we will start collecting adobe bricks this year and move out when the house is built." said Mrs. Chen.
"Stay." Chen's mother responded.
"Mom, we have to ask uncle to bring back a pot so that we can cook when we move out next year." Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Ersao naturally wanted it too.
"I've talked to Rourou and asked Guobin to bring twenty-five yuan to your family. You can pay for it yourself when the time comes." said Chen's mother.
"It costs twenty-five dollars?" Chen Ersao asked.
Chen's mother looked at her in surprise: "Can you buy a pot for a lower price than this?"
Chen Ersao twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "No, mother, isn't it that there is nothing wrong with my uncle bringing a pot to someone else?" The last sentence was naturally said in a low voice.
In the early years, her uncle used to collect mushrooms, but later he stopped. However, she felt that this uncle was not very honest. Didn’t he make some money by helping to cook?
Chen's mother said with a straight face: "Guo Bin didn't make a penny from bringing pots to other people, and you are still worried that he will make money from you, right? Okay, go buy it yourself!"
Chen Ersao quickly said, "Mother, that's not what I meant."
"That's not what I meant. If you don't like it, just buy it yourself. I was just worried about it before I went to talk to Rourou about it!" Chen's mother snorted coldly, "Hurry up and make the adobe bricks. Move in as soon as you're done!"
Sometimes you just have to show off your authority as a mother-in-law!
As for her son-in-law buying a pot to make money, Chen's mother knew about it. Her youngest daughter told her about it, but she knew it was only her who knew it. She didn't even tell the old man. As for her daughters-in-law, she really had no intention of telling them. It was good enough that they could bring back whatever they were entitled to!
Seeing that their mother-in-law had a gloomy face, Chen Ersao also stopped talking in dismay.
Mrs. Chen didn't say anything else.
As for Mrs. Chen San, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
When she slept on the same kang with her husband at night, she couldn't help but mutter, "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are now in charge and cook for themselves, why can't we separate them out in our family?"
"Why should we divide our family? Isn't it good enough to live with our parents?" Third Brother Chen said with a yawn.
"Don't lie to me. Don't think I don't know that you just dislike my mother and are afraid that she will come to ask for money." Mrs. Chen San said.
Brother Chen San laughed in his heart, thinking that you still know this, and said, "I'm not worried. She is my mother-in-law, and I should be filial to her. But if you are not afraid, you can tell mom that we also want to divide it. Then my mother-in-law will come to ask for money, and you can't stop her. Our life will get worse and worse. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law will laugh at you to death, and you won't be able to raise your head in the village..."
Mrs. Chen San couldn't help but tremble when she thought about the family fortune she had saved with great difficulty, but found that it was all taken away by her mother when she went home for the New Year.
Her mother didn't say anything, but when she went back for the New Year, she held her hand and tears flowed down her face. She told her about the difficulties of those years, the hardships at home, how she was sick from hunger, and how she felt uncomfortable here and there. At the end, she asked if she should have saved some money?
And then, she gave it away...
Her elder and second sisters-in-law had planned to use their own money to buy cloth to make new clothes this year, but she couldn't afford a penny.
Her husband was still saying, "...by that time, all the things will be given to my mother-in-law, and we will all be hungry. We can only drink water to fill our stomachs, and forget about making clothes. We are the only one among the three families that can't make ends meet. The eldest and second sisters-in-law will definitely be getting more and more prosperous. When the time comes, let them see if they can help us. After all, they are our brothers."
When Mrs. Chen San thought of that scene, she wondered if she would really live such a miserable life?
But when she thinks about her mother's temper and how her sister was beaten by her brother-in-law, if her life really lived like that, would her man also be unable to bear beating her?
He swallowed and said, "Forget it. Mom hasn't treated me badly. It's good to be with Dad and Mom."
"I really don't want to share it. Actually, I want to share it. I want to eat big meat buns and white flour dumplings. If I share it among myself, I can eat as much as I want." Brother Chen San said.
Mrs. Chen San also swallowed her saliva, but shook her head and said, "Forget it, forget it, eat with mom." She was afraid that if she shared the food, her mother wouldn't have to come and ask for money, and the couple could feed the family into poverty by themselves.
Seeing that she didn't mention it anymore, Brother Chen San stopped talking and laughed in his heart. They have been married for so many years, how could he not understand his wife?
This family cannot be divided. If it is divided and his wife is left to manage the household, the more money she gets, the more she will get back.
It’s better to just eat with your parents.
Chen Rou didn't know about her mother's family. Han Guobin left in early September and came back in almost October.
This trip took so long that, as the second oldest son, Han Zhou, put it, "Dad, if you don't come back, I'll forget what you look like!"
"Dad must have calculated the time to come back. He knew that the meat would be distributed tomorrow, so he came back today." The eldest brother Han Hang also said.
Han Guobin had been away from home for too long and missed it so much that he hadn't even pulled his bicycle into the house when he met his two sons at the door. He stopped the bike and picked up both brothers.
The second brother Han Zhou's eyes lit up.
The eldest brother, Han Hang, blushed a little. He felt a little embarrassed that he was still being held by his father at such a big age. But he also grinned.
Chen Rou heard the sound and came out holding the little girl Orange, and saw Han Guobin standing at the door holding his two sons.
"What are you doing?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Mom, Dad hug me!" Han Zhou said. He had even forgotten what it felt like to be hugged by his dad.
"Okay, come down. Your father is tired too." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Han Guobin put his two sons down, and the two brothers went over to guard the bicycles. Their father brought back a package, and there must be delicious food in it!
Han Guobin looked at his wife and felt that he could not see enough of her.
Chen Rou couldn't stand it. That look was like tearing her bones apart and eating her stomach, like a wolf seeing meat. She couldn't help but feel a little weak in the legs.
He coughed dryly and said, "Come into the house."
Just as Han Guobin and his wife were about to enter the house, the second son, Han Zhou, shouted, "Dad, I forgot my bicycle!"
Chen Rou couldn't help laughing. How could her man become like this after going out?
Han Guobin touched his nose and went to take his bicycle home.
The package was not big, but there were a lot of things inside, including a can of fruit, two packs of White Rabbit milk candy, two cans of malted milk, and four packs of brown sugar.
"Why did you buy so much brown sugar?" Chen Rou asked.
"Send some to the old house, and also to their grandmother's house, and keep the rest." Han Guobin said.
"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.
With Han Guobin's return, the house became lively again.
It was already October by then, and we had been walking for so long that the team leader came to ask about us. There were quite a few people sitting in the yard.
Han Guobin also told them about the situation outside. Because they had to requisition a convoy, they went there and were very busy, and they were busy every day.
Finally, he said, "I heard that our village may have electricity in the next two years."
"What, the electricity is going to be turned on?" The captain's pipe trembled.
"Well, I asked in the city." Han Guobin said. He ran into Secretary Zhang and asked Secretary Zhang casually. Secretary Zhang said it would be soon.
"That's great!" the captain said excitedly.
This is going to be lively.
"If electricity is available, would you like to buy a TV, Guobin?"
"What's a TV?"
"You don't understand this, right? A TV is just like playing a movie. It can be played as long as it is powered on!"
"I've heard about it too, Guobin. Do you want to buy one for your family?"
"I just built a house this year, and I haven't paid off the money I owe my father-in-law yet. How can I afford another house?" Han Guobin shook his head.
"How much does a TV cost?" someone asked.
"Having money is not enough, you also need TV and plane tickets." Han Guobin said.
"Is it easy to get a TV ticket?"
"It's not easy to get. It's very rare and costs a lot of money." Han Guobin said.
Someone asked the team leader, asking him to buy one for his family when electricity is available.
The captain smiled and said, "Let's wait and see when the power is turned on."
It was lively for a while, and then it dispersed.
After the people left, Han Guobin said, "Wife, when the electricity is connected, can we buy a TV?"
Chen Rou knew without asking how rare television sets were at this time, so she refused without any room for hesitation and said, "I won't buy it."
"Why not buy it? You've saved up for two years, and with the rest at home, it should be enough." Han Guobin said.
"Just a few thousand dollars to buy a TV?" Chen Rou said with a twitch of her lips.
It costs about a thousand dollars. The TV set costs money, and the TV and plane tickets also cost money. Adding up, it costs nearly a thousand dollars.
"Wife, you don't know, TV is very good. If you buy one at home, you can watch movies every day." Han Guobin said with great interest.
Chen Rou was not surprised that he liked watching movies so much. The spiritual life at that time was not as good as in later times. If there was a rumor that a movie was going to be shown in a village, people would move their stools from home to watch the movie even if they were more than ten kilometers away.
It was packed with people, it was so crowded.
The release was in a village more than ten kilometers away. Zhou Zhen, Cai Lihua and others went to see it, but Chen Rouci did not go because it was too far.
"No." Chen Rou said.
She wants to save the money for her business, and she is waiting for the arrival of spring breeze.
Han Guobin still wanted to fight for it, so Chen Rou asked, "Can I boil some water for you to take a bath?"
"Okay." Han Guobin nodded and put the matter of buying a TV aside for the time being. It was still early, and maybe his wife would change her mind in the future.
But he didn't know that his wife would not change her mind.
You can do anything with that much money, but it would be a big loss to buy a TV.
Just when everyone was there, little Orange girl couldn't resist her sleepiness and was sleeping soundly in the house.
Chen Rou came over to boil water and went to the thatched hut in the backyard to wash. Chen Rou rubbed his back and asked if he would have to take a long-distance bus next.
"No need to go out again, just go to the provincial capital later." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou nodded and said, "The Chen family has split up. The eldest and second brothers have split up, so they need to buy two pots."
"I'll bring it back when I have time." Han Guobin also agreed.
Han Guobin hadn't been rubbing his tickets for long when the villagers came to exchange their tickets.
Those who first came were all grown men, but now those who come are all young girls and wives.
The eldest brother Han Hang came to the backyard and called his mother.
"You rub your father's back, mom will go over there." Chen Rou handed him the old loofah and said.
The eldest son rubbed his father's back and talked about television. The father and son had the same opinion and both wanted a TV.
Even though they are young, they know a lot. Whenever there were movie showings in other villages, their father would take them there on his bicycle. The second oldest, Zhou Zhou, doesn't have much memory of it, but the oldest, Han Hang, still remembers it.
But his mother has the final say at home, and it is useless even if his father agrees. But he is still young and doesn't know that his father is just writing a blank check. He says he will buy it when he has money, but he doesn't say when he will have money.
This time Han Guobin brought back a lot of tickets.
The captain's wife, Chen Aidi, came over to exchange some food coupons. Sometimes the captain had to go to other counties for observation and would eat out, which required food coupons.
Chen Rou also slipped her a cigarette coupon without leaving any trace. It was free and was a gift to the team leader.
Chen Aidi smiled and accepted it.
This time there is also a rare thermos ticket.
She already had one at home, and also had a military water bottle that she didn't use, but she didn't exchange it and kept it for herself.
Her fourth sister doesn't have any yet, and her eldest and second brothers are also short of something after they separated, but let's focus on her fourth sister first.
There were also quite a few other tickets, including brown sugar tickets, three cloth tickets, cotton tickets, soap tickets and cloth shoes tickets.
"We brought back a lot this time." Everyone was very happy.
"After two months, we got a certificate from another province and the company gave us a subsidy. They didn't give us the money, but they gave us these extra tickets. Some of them were exchanged between Guobin and his colleagues." Chen Rou said.
"It's been two months since I left. It's not easy to be out there."
"It's not easy. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to take a shower. I was just scrubbing him in the backyard. He needs to get into a basin of mud." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"That gun needs to be cleaned, we'll need it tonight." The loud and fierce daughter-in-law said this directly.
Many unmarried girls blushed, while those who were married smiled with their lips pursed.
"Just wait and see if I give it to you next time, my dear wife." Chen Rou scolded with a smile.
Everyone was laughing, and then they talked about the electricity supply. Chen Rou said, "It probably won't be that soon. If it's soon, it will be next year. If it's late, it will be the year after next or the year after next."
Everyone nodded, and Chen Rou said, "I won't greet you anymore. Go and cook."
It was indeed getting late, so everyone dispersed.
Chen Rou put away the money she had exchanged, washed her hands and started cooking.
After Han Guobin finished washing, he went to wash and hang up his own clothes, then came to help his wife light the fire.
He just wants to stay with his wife and talk to her.
But he just came back today, so there must be a lot of people coming to visit. Mrs. Han came with three eggs: Tiedan, Donkey Egg and Baodan.
Brother Han went fishing today and brought back a fish as an extra dish.
"Second uncle is back, so the two brothers won't come over tonight." Mrs. Han said with a smile.
Han Guobin was away for a long time this time, so Brother Han asked Tiedan and Ludan to come over and sleep with Hanghang and Zhouzhou that night.
The atmosphere at this time is indeed very safe, but it is such a big brick house, and there is only Chen Rou and a few children inside.
When the two young boys, Tiedan and Ludan, come over, people will have to think twice before they get involved.
Han Guobin nodded, his elder brother did the right thing.
Chen Rou went into the house and took out a bag of candy, saying, "Give this bag of candy to the three brothers and sisters to make them happy."
"No, no, just open a few and give them to Baodan. The two brothers are so old now, why do they need to eat candy?" said Mrs. Han.
"Take it back and have a sweet treat for you and your brother. Your life will get better and better every year." Chen Rou smiled and handed it to her.
Mrs. Han smiled happily, and seeing that the second brother's family was really going to give it, she said, "Then I will accept it, okay?"
"If you hadn't come, I would have asked Hanghang to take it." Chen Rou said.
The two sisters-in-law talked for a while. Seeing that the meal was ready, Mrs. Han decided not to stay any longer and went back with the three eggs.
Chen Rou asked the eldest son Hanghang to send a bag of brown sugar to his grandparents.
"Your father must have brought back a lot of things this time, so he just brought this bag of brown sugar?" Han's mother said.
"Don't you want milk?" Hanghang was stunned and said.
"Get out." Han's mother was choked and cursed.
Hanghang didn't know why his grandma was angry again, so he turned around and ran back. His grandma was really fierce. Grandma was better.
"Grandma, I want to drink brown sugar water." Han Si and his younger brother Han Bo looked at the brown sugar with shining eyes.
"My dear grandson, I'll make some soup for you right away." Mother Han smiled.
When Han Guolin came back with Song Xiaoyu on his bike, the two brothers were enjoying drinking a bowl of brown sugar water.
"Where did the brown sugar water come from? Didn't we run out of brown sugar at home?" Han Guolin asked when he stopped the car.
"Brother Hang sent it. Here's the package." Han Si said.
His brother Han Bo nodded: "It tastes good."
Song Xiaoyu understood immediately and said quickly, "It must be the second brother who has returned. I'll go check it out."
Naturally, I came over to see if there were any tickets. After all, this trip took so long, there must be some.
Han Guolin ignored his wife and said to his mother with a smile: "Mom, you don't have to buy it. My second brother will just bring it over as a filial gift."
Han's mother said angrily: "I heard that he exchanged a lot of tickets, but I didn't see him take any.
