Han Guobin and Chen Rou both went to bed late. It was the eldest son, Han Hang, who woke up to put on his clothes and woke up his parents: "Dad, Mom, we still have to share the meat today. Come back and sleep!"
Chen Rou turned over and continued to sleep, saying, "Guo Bin, take the boss to divide the meat."
"Okay." Han Guobin leaned over and kissed his wife on the cheek.
The eldest brother, Han Hang, stared in surprise. He saw his father kissing his mother!
Han Guobin smiled and gave one to his son.
The eldest brother, Han Hang, covered his forehead and blushed, "It's okay at home, but when we go out, Dad, don't kiss me. I'm this old!" Although he was happy in his heart, he was not as young as his younger brothers and sisters!
"Okay." Han Guobin rubbed his head.
The father and son came out to brush their teeth and drink water, carrying the basin.
The village is already very lively. How could it not be lively on the day of distributing meat? Since the slack season during farming, every household has been looking forward to this day.
Seeing the father and son come out but Chen Rou was missing, the fierce wife of the noble family said, "Uncle Guobin, where is Hanghang's mother? Don't be so ruthless when you see meat since you haven't been home for two months."
Both men and women couldn't help laughing.
"My daughter was making a fuss last night, and she was the one who got up to comfort her, but she hasn't woken up yet." Han Guobin said without blushing or breathing heavily.
"You have no shame and say anything shameless." Mrs. Han rolled her eyes at the noble wife.
Dagui's wife came over and whispered, "I heard from Shuanzi's wife that Hanghang's mother sent a bag of brown sugar over, but she didn't even get a good word from the old house!"
"When did you hear about it?" asked Mrs. Han.
"Shuanzi's wife told me yesterday when she came to my house to make shoe soles." Dagui's wife said, "The old lady thought it was too little and scolded Hanghang and told him to get out."
"That old lady never complains about not having enough. She is just the kind-hearted person of the second son. If it were me, I would give her nothing but 30 kilograms of food!" Han's eldest sister-in-law snorted.
Dagui's wife said, "Speaking of which, Hanghang's mother has been paying respects to the old house a lot in recent years."
Han's mother often complained in the village, saying that the first and second wives were unfilial, especially the second wife, who had such a high salary but didn't even buy some nutritional supplements to show her filial piety!
But no one in the village dared to say that Brother Han, Sister-in-law Han, Han Guobin and Chen Rou were unfilial, especially Han Guobin. In addition to food, there were other supplies sent over every year, and the villagers were aware of this.
Mrs. Han said, "Except for the fact that the stitches on the second uncle's house are a little too big, there is nothing else to pick. Don't think that my second uncle's family is doing better than the weather these days. I guess it's all because of her kind and amiable personality that brings her good fortune."
Although many villagers envied the big brick house, not many gossiped about it. This was all thanks to the way her second brother and sister-in-law behaved.
Mrs. Han felt that she could not do that. Sometimes people said sarcastic words in front of her younger brother and sister-in-law, but she was always very friendly. She thought that when encountering such a situation, she should just fight back on the spot and not be polite. But thinking about it afterwards, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one.
The second daughter's personality is not easy to handle, but as long as it's not excessive, she won't take it to heart, won't bear grudges, and she knows what's going on.
Isn't it true that even she, who used to be jealous of her, is now willing to help her with anything?
Everyone else is pretty much like her.
Dagui’s wife used to be jealous, but after changing tickets twice, she is no longer jealous.
While the two were whispering, Han Guobin had already divided the meat with his boss Han Hang, but this year they didn't get much either.
There is no meat left after two ribs, and there are really not many work points this year.
However, Han Guobin did not despise it. He took these things and was about to go back with his eldest son. However, the eldest son said that he would not go back yet and he would stay to continue watching the fun.
Han Guobin ignored him and took the basin home.
He did not go in to disturb his wife's sleep. He went into the kitchen to boil water and cut meat and cabbage. His wife was making dough in the house. She had made it before going to bed last night. He went in to bring it out and knead the dough.
Then we steamed the buns.
He was busy in the kitchen alone.
Chen Rou, on the other hand, slept with her second child and little daughter until about 7:30 before getting up.
"Mom, where are my dad and my older brother?" Han Zhou, with his hair messy, was very happy to lie in his mother's arms.
"Let's go and divide the meat." Chen Rou said casually.
"Divide the meat?" Han Zhou was stunned, then he remembered that they still had to divide the meat today. He quickly got up, took the clothes from the head of the kang and put them on himself. He didn't use his mother's clothes to put them on himself. After he put them on himself, he got off the kang along the small stool beside the kang and ran out.
Chen Rou took her watch and looked at the time. It was getting late, so she got up.
Han Zhou ran out and heard the noise from the kitchen, so he went into the kitchen and asked his father when he saw him, "Dad, did you guys share the meat?"
"We broke up." Han Guobin said.
"Dad, why didn't you call me up!" Han Zhou said immediately.
"It's still lively outside. Your brother is outside." Han Guobin said.
The second oldest, Han Zhou, did not delay and hurried out to watch the fun. When he saw his eldest brother there, he ran over and complained to his eldest brother that he did not call him to get up and share the meat!
"I didn't call you because you were sleeping so soundly." Han Hang said.
"Then you must call me next time when we divide the meat. I forgot because I was sleeping!" Han Zhou said.
"Okay, I'll call you next time." Han Hang said.
Han Si and Han Bo came over and said, "Grandma said she made some dough last night, so she'll make us some buns today. Brother Hang, Zhou Zhou, come and eat together!"
"That was made for you by grandma. There's no place for us." said the second son Han Zhou.
"Yes, I'll get it for you!" Han Si said.
"No, if grandma sees us, she will beat us. We have our own at home." Han Hang also said.
The two brothers went back not long after they stayed there. Han Si took Han Bo back immediately and brought him to Brother Hang later!
"Dad, can we make dumplings at home too?" The second son Han Zhou couldn't help but said greedily.
"Let's do it tomorrow. There's not enough meat today. Buy more tomorrow and I'll make big meat buns for you then." Han Guobin said.
"Okay!" The two brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this.
Chen Rou came into the kitchen and said, "Have you brushed your teeth? Let's get ready for dinner."
The second brother Zhou Zhou hadn't done it yet, so he poured some hot water and soaked in cold water to brush his teeth. The two brothers each had a toothbrush, which they treasured very much.
After sending the boss Han Hang away, Han Guobin hugged his wife and said, "Wife, you have worked hard."
Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him. Men’s words can be deceiving. Why didn’t he say thank you for her hard work when they were talking endlessly last night?
She didn't want it anymore, but he still coaxed her to accept it.
"It's broad daylight, you better pay attention." Chen Rou pinched him under the waist and sent him away.
But he was already busy enough, so she basically didn't need to intervene.
"I don't get much. I'll go to Lao Yang to buy some tonight." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou nodded and told him not to forget the two iron pots.
"Are you at home today? If you are, let me use your bicycle. I'm going to my fourth sister's house." Chen Rou said.
Send a thermos ticket to her fourth sister.
"You go ahead, I'm at home." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou planned to go to her fourth sister's house. She had bean flour buns with cabbage and pork stew for breakfast. After eating, Chen Rou did not go out immediately because she was waiting for little girl Orange.
The little girl woke up at around 12:00 a.m. Chen Rou fed her some food and then handed her over to her father. She took two bags of brown sugar with her and went out.
The eldest brother Han Hang and the second brother Han Zhou wanted to follow, but their mother would not let them.
Not long after Chen Rou left the house, Han Si from the third room brought a bun to his brother Hang.
"Didn't grandma beat you?" Han Hang asked in surprise.
"I said I ate it by myself, so your mother didn't hit me. Brother Hang, you eat it." Han Si said.
Han Zhou looked greedy and asked, "Are you really giving it to my brother?"
"You can eat it too." Han Si said generously.
Han Hang was not polite and broke off half of the bun for his brother. While eating, he said, "The buns are delicious."
"That's right, the milk contains a lot of meat." Han Si said.
"My dad said that my family will also make dumplings tomorrow, and I will give you one then," Han Hang said.
"There are a lot of milk buns. There will be enough for everyone at home tomorrow. I don't want yours." Han Si said.
"Then what do you want?" Han Zhou asked his cousin, asking if he was stupid if he didn't even want a meat bun.
"Brother Hang, are you guys still going to play sandbag throwing today?" Han Si said, "Take me with you."
Because of his grandmother, the kids in the village don’t like to play with him. Last time, he was playing the game of knocking with other kids and his grandmother happened to see him getting knocked down. His grandmother then scolded the other kids.
There was also the case of throwing sandbags and hitting people on the head. His grandmother scolded him several times.
So much so that the children in the village refused to play with him.
Han Hang was also a little worried and said, "If you fall later, your grandmother will come over and scold my mother."
"Second uncle is back, grandma definitely won't dare to come over." Han Si said.
"Okay then, we're going there now. If you're okay, just follow us." Han Hang said.
Han Si was very happy, and the second son Han Zhou naturally followed suit.
While the sons went out to play, Han Guobin stayed at home to accompany his little daughter to sleep. The little daughter was very considerate and knew how to accompany her father.
Chen Rou rode her bicycle to find her mother and brought her mother to visit her fourth sister's house.
Mother Chen sat on the bicycle and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to ride a bicycle so well."
"Guobin taught me a long time ago. It's not difficult to learn." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"He must be very tired after being away for so long. Give him some more nourishment when you come back," said Chen's mother.
Chen Rouxin said that he was still replenishing him. She had asked him to balance the yin and yang last night. The rough guy looked different when he got up today.
"Once Xiaochengzi is weaned, we can consider the issue of the fourth child." Mother Chen continued in the back seat.
Chen Rou said, "It's still early." It was true. Her daughter had just been born, but she was already urging her to have more.
"If you listen to me, Xiao Chengzi will be the fourth child now. If you don't want it, I won't say anything to you." Chen's mother said, "Your sister is jealous of you. She wants you, but she was injured in her early years. Now she can't have you even if she wants."
When Chen Rou was in confinement after childbirth, her fourth sister came with eggs, but she was particularly interested in little Orange.
"Let's wait and see. There are three of them now, which is not a small number." Chen Rou said.
"You dare to say three is a lot? Go compare yourself with the one in your village who gave birth to nine!" Chen's mother said unhappily.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "That's incomparable."
"Don't compare yourself with these. There are a lot of people in the village who have five or six. Can you say that three is a lot?" Chen's mother continued to lecture her daughter.
There was no way, because she realized that her daughter really didn't want to have children.
This made Chen's mother really unable to understand her daughter's train of thought.
What's the idea? If the family is so poor that they can't even make ends meet and the child doesn't want to have a baby, she can still understand that.
But now the family has built a big, bright brick house, and they told others that they borrowed money from their father-in-law's family to build the house, but in fact they did not take a share of the money from my mother's family.
The couple built this big brick house all by themselves, and they are still so young. There is no one as capable as them in the whole village.
How can there be no birth under such conditions? Mother Chen really couldn't understand.
Chen Rou quickly said, "Give birth next year, give birth next year."
Only then did Chen's mother stop talking about her.
Now Fourth Sister Chen is also free, and this is the most leisurely time of the year.
The pigs in her house have also been driven out. Now that the pigsty has been cleaned, she is just waiting to bring the piglets home to continue raising them.
When her mother and sister came over, Chen Sijie happened to be peeling peanuts at home.
Peel some more and give them to her sister to stew with pig's feet and milk.
Chen Rou brought her mother into the village. Her mother knew the location and showed them the way without asking.
However, the mother and daughter entering the village still attracted a lot of attention, after all, they came on bicycles.
"This is Dabang's mother-in-law. The one riding the bicycle looks a lot like Dabang's wife. Is she Dabang's wife's sister?"
"There are also female comrades who can ride bicycles, which is amazing."
"She's really good-looking. If I didn't know her, I would have thought she was an educated youth sent to the countryside."
“…”
The villagers started talking about it.
Chen Rou and her mother didn't care, but if they saw someone smiling at them, they would smile back.
Mother Chen had never been so happy with her eldest daughter. She thought that her younger daughter had done a good job and brought honor to her elder sister.
"Sister." Chen Rou rode her bicycle over to her sister's door and called out.
Sister Chen Si was stunned. She seemed to hear her sister's voice? Without much hesitation, he got up and went out.
When I came out, I saw her mother and her sister. Her mother just got off her bicycle.
Fourth Sister Chen came forward happily and said, "How come you have time to come? My niece still needs to be breastfed. I was thinking that I would go over in a few days when I am free now."
"Guobin is at home, so he'll take care of the child first." Chen Rou said with a smile, "I haven't been here for so many years, so I brought my mother here today."
"When will you be able to ride a bike?" Sister Chen Si asked with a smile.
"I learned it a long time ago." Chen Rou smiled.
Sister Chen Si welcomed her mother and sister into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she made some sugar water for her mother and sister, and said, "It's very cold here now. It's better to walk, but riding a bike will make your face feel like a knife shaving."
"Look, the scarf around my neck is white." Chen Rou smiled. She took out Guobin's scarf and wrapped it around her face, otherwise she really couldn't stand it.
Mother Chen said, "Where are Dabang and An'anwu?"
"The two brothers went to school, and Dabang went into the mountains to hunt pheasants." Chen Sijie said, "If there are any pheasants you can bring back to my father to eat."
"Why don't you tell me?" Chen Rou said.
"Guo Bin is back. You will never lack food if you need anything. I don't care about you." Sister Chen Si said, "But I prepared some peanuts for you."
Chen Rou smiled, took out some brown sugar from her bosom, and said, "This bag of brown sugar is for you, Fourth Sister."
"What brown sugar did you bring me?" Sister Chen Si didn't want hers and said, "Guo Bin bought it for you, don't bring it."
"Guo Bin brought four packets, the old house gave me a packet, and I also gave some to my parents. I'll give this to you. I have another packet at home." Chen Rou said, "Don't push it away from me. When it's cold, sometimes you can make yourself some brown sugar ginger soup to warm your body and replenish your blood."
"Listen to your sister and drink more brown sugar ginger soup to see if it can help you get healthy. Maybe you can get pregnant again." Chen's mother said.
Fourth Sister Chen looked at her sister and said, "This is only Guobin. Any other man would be annoyed that you are giving so much to your family."
"My parents came to take care of me during my confinement and sent me so many eggs. Qin Guobin knew that I went with my parents." Chen Rou said.
After that, he took out the thermos ticket from his pocket and said, "But this is the main reason why I came here today. Fourth sister, please find time to ask your brother-in-law to go to the city to buy one. Don't drink cold water in such a cold weather."
Chen Sijie had also attended a literacy class. When she saw the ticket, she was surprised and said, "A thermos ticket?" This was indeed what the family lacked. They only had a ceramic teapot at home.
"I knew you wanted it. When I saw Guobin bring it back, I put it away." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Mother Chen said, "This has to be your biological sister. Your elder brother and second brother have been separated, so they are also in need. But Rourou didn't give them anything."
At this point, she remembered what her second daughter-in-law said, and said, "Twenty-five yuan for a pot is too expensive for your second sister-in-law, and she even asked if my uncle-in-law made any money? I don't want to bother with them!"
"This in my family had to be exchanged for by my father-in-law with an industrial ticket, but it cost twenty-five yuan to purchase. And my second sister-in-law said it was expensive?" said Chen Sijie.
"Yes, she thought Guobin would make money from her and take advantage of her abilities." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou felt amused, but also warm. Her mother was favoring her.
After staying with her fourth sister for more than half an hour, Chen Rou took her mother home. They couldn't stay for long as the little girl Orange still needed to be fed.
Chen Sijie sent the person out and said she would go back to her parents' home in a few days.
"Peel the peanuts and send them over. I won't push you. But don't take any eggs. We don't need them at home." Chen Rou said to her sister.
"I know you married well." Fourth Sister Chen scolded with a smile.
"Fourth sister married well, too." Chen Rou smiled and said, "My mother and I will leave first. If An and An Wu don't need to go to school, we can take them with us. I will make delicious food for them."
After she finished speaking, she took Chen's mother away.
After they returned, the villagers asked, "Is the one who came with her mother-in-law a girl?"
"It's my little sister." Sister Chen smiled and said, "She has been married for several years and only had time to come here today."
"Since you come here so rarely, why don't you stay for a meal before leaving?" said the villagers.
"My niece is still young and needs to be fed. She won't be out for long." Sister Chen Si said.
"You came all the way here and didn't sit there for long," said the villager.
"He sent me a thermos ticket." Sister Chen said with a smile, but she didn't mention the brown sugar, saying she would keep it for herself to use later.
"Thermos tickets? They're rare things." The villagers couldn't help but say.
"Yes, she is my biological sister, otherwise how could I bear to let her go?" Sister Chen smiled.
An Dabao and his two sons returned around noon, and they also heard about the visit of his aunt and grandmother.
"Yes, I'm here. I'll go back in a few days. If you don't have to go to school, go there right away." Sister Chen Si said.
Then she gave the thermos ticket to her husband and said, "My sister brought this to me. When do you have time, go buy one?"
"Okay." An Dabang took it and nodded: "You need to go there in a few days. I'll go see if there are any fish. You can bring them over."
"Yeah." Sister Chen nodded.
Three days later, Chen Sijie came over. It was estimated that it would snow that day, so she came over before it started snowing.
I brought more than three pounds of peanuts. I guess most of the peanuts distributed this year are here. There were also several fish caught by An Dabang.
Both brothers An and An Wu came over. They are already grown up now. They look like their sister and a bit like their two cousins.
You can tell they are family.
Chen Rou saw that the two brothers were also happy and said with a smile: "They have grown taller recently. In two years, they should be as tall as aunt."
"My mother complains that we eat too much." An said with a smile.
"Yes, he looks down on us and says we gave birth to two good-for-nothings." An Wu nodded.
"Come over to your aunt's place. I'll make sure you're full." Chen Rou said with a smile, and then looked speechlessly at the bag of food in her sister's hand. If you want to come, just come. Why do you have to bring food with you specially? I'm afraid that this meal will make her go bankrupt.
Sister Chen Si brought three kilograms of food with her. That’s how it is these days. Most of the time, if someone wants to save some food, they’ll just bring it with them. It’s not easy for anyone, so how can they eat for free?
"Today I'm here to eat at a rich man's house. Cook a few more dishes for me and I'll see if I can make you poor." said Sister Chen Si.
An Anwu grinned.
"Take your brother out to play." Chen Rou said as she grabbed a handful of candies for them.
"Come on, I'll take you to play marbles." Han Hang said to his two cousins.
"I'll go too." Han Zhou said quickly.
After the children ate the candy and went out, Chen Rou started cooking.
There were pig's feet today, so she chopped them up and put them in the pot directly, and also stewed some peanuts.
She went to get some ribs to chop and chatted with her fourth sister in the kitchen. It was warm outside the stove.
When asked whether the thermos had been bought, Chen Sijie said she had, and the next day An Dabang went into the city to buy it.
"I see that my two nephews are starting to grow old, so you better be frugal, fourth sister." Chen Rou said as she chopped the ribs with a knife.
"I didn't save any money. They are thieves." Sister Chen said, "I am worried that in two or three years, the work points we earn won't be enough for them to eat."
"That's no big deal. You can earn work points by yourself. Don't worry about them eating." Chen Rou said.
She saw that both of her nephews were very thin. Although they looked energetic, their complexions were still a little yellow.
"They all look like their father. They won't be much shorter in the future. Besides, life nowadays is much better than when we were kids. Back then, we could only eat 30% full because our parents saved the food from their own mouths." said Chen Sijie.
Now my two sons can eat until they are 70% full. They are not full, but they are not hungry either.
"There's no comparison between our time and now. I heard from Guobin that the atmosphere outside is getting better and better. If you train him well, you can let Guobin take him out when you have the chance in the future." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "This... this is OK?"
"As long as there's a chance," Chen Rou said, "Let them study hard."
"These two brats don't take their studies seriously at all." said Chen Sijie.
"Then you keep an eye on her, Fourth Sister." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Why are you chopping so many ribs?" While she was talking, she had already chopped two large ribs.
"There's not much meat on these ribs. Chop them up and stew them with pig's trotters." Chen Rou said.
Then he went to get some pickled vegetables, washed them and cut them, and used a thermos to pour hot water to soak the dried mushrooms. While he was busy, he said, "Guo Bin came back and said that society will get better and better in the future. He saw a lot of it outside. We will just live like this. The children have to go out in the future."
"How can it be that easy?" said Chen Sijie.
"Take it slow and train him first. He is still young now." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen said, "It's not peaceful outside either. I hope they can succeed, but please don't cause trouble for Guo Bin."
"What's the big deal?" Chen Rou said with a smile, "When they are ten years old, it will be about the same time."
Her nephews are still young, and if she wants to do any business in the future, she will have to bring her nephews along. So now she has told her fourth sister that it is a good thing to let her two nephews study more, because only by studying can people become smart.
Fourth sister Chen nodded. She and her Dabang only had these two sons, so naturally they hoped that they would be successful. And if they were to talk about the most promising one in the entire family, it would have to be their uncle Han Guobin. If their uncle was willing to take them and they could learn driving skills, it would be a stable job and they wouldn't have to worry about the future.
The pork ribs, pork trotters and peanuts in the pot were stewed for more than an hour, and the aroma was so delicious that even Ma Xiaofa's wife next door could smell it.
"Sister-in-law is entertaining her nephew." Ma Xiaofa's wife said with a smile.
"It's rare for my two nephews to come over, so shouldn't I make something delicious for them?" Chen Rou said with a smile.
She has a good relationship with Zhou Zhen, but an average relationship with Ma Xiaofa's wife. Like Ma Xiaofa, the couple are the type who slack off when working.
That is to say, now that she has the help of her parents-in-law, when Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma are too old to work, she will take care of the couple in their old age.
After saying a polite word, Chen Rou called her son and nephews to go home for dinner.
Because playing with glass beads will get your body dirty, these naughty boys don't care about their image at all and just lie down on the ground!
"Hurry up and wash. You've just been outside and now you're covered in mud." Chen Rou poured hot water for them to wash their faces and hands.
"Aunt, what are you stewing? It smells so good that my mouth is watering." An grinned.
"It smells so good." An Wu also said.
Han Hang and Han Zhou laughed and said, "I must have cooked something delicious for you."
They were eating corn pancakes. Chen Rou made a lot of them, which were stained with the flavor of stewed pork ribs, pork trotters and peanuts, and were very fragrant.
There is also a dish of stir-fried pickled vegetables with mushrooms. The mushrooms are sliced and stir-fried with lard in the pan, and an egg drop soup.
They gathered around the kang and started eating.
"It's so delicious." An'an and Wu's eyes sparkled.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Don't worry about your mother. Her eyes are twitching." Chen Rou said.
An Anwu almost burst out laughing. Sister Chen Si laughed and scolded, "Their stomachs are like two bottomless pits. How much will be enough for them to eat?"
"Don't worry about your mother, just eat. You have to finish all these corn tortillas." Chen Rou asked An Anwu to scoop a spoonful of peanuts and pork ribs into their bowls respectively, and said.
"Don't just scoop for them, take care of Hanghang and Zhouzhou." Fourth Sister Chen took the spoon and scooped for her two nephews.
"Their father just made big meat buns for them." Chen Rou said.
"That's right, Brother An, why didn't you come earlier? The big meat buns are so delicious." said the second brother Han Zhou, he learned the accent from his brother An Wu.
"There's not much white flour left. Aren't you saving it for making dumplings for the New Year?" An asked.
"If they want to eat, your uncle will pack it for them." Chen Rou said, scooping a large spoonful of pork trotters, spare ribs and peanuts for her sister.
"Why are you scooping so much for me?" Sister Chen Si said hurriedly.
"Don't push me, eat quickly. I guess I'll have to send you back after you finish eating. The sky is very gloomy, please don't rain." Chen Rou said.
"It can't be cooked. Even if it is cooked, it will probably take two days." Sister Chen Si was about to put the meat into Hanghang's bowl.
Hanghang held up the bowl and said with a smile, "Aunt, eat by yourself."
"Yes, there are still a lot." Han Zhou ate the soft stewed peanuts until his mouth was full of oil. It was really delicious.
"Eat by yourself." Chen Rou said to her sister, and then called her two nephews.
After finishing the meal, Chen Rou really didn't dare to keep the mother and her two children any longer, because the sky was a little cloudy, so she said, "Go tell mom and go back right away. I don't think you can wait for two days."
It was indeed not possible to delay for two days. Just as Chen Sijie brought her two sons back to the village, the rain began to fall. The mother and her two sons hurried back, but they didn't get wet much.
"It's thanks to my aunt's accurate calculation, otherwise we would still be halfway there now." An Wu said.
"Yes, my aunt is better at judging the sky than you are." An also nodded.
"You two little brats, you were so rude when you went to your aunt's house. You ate up all the meat in the pot!" Fourth Sister Chen glared at them.
"Auntie is urging us to eat." An said.
"That's right, that's right. We had already put down our bowls, and my auntie directly took the scoop for us so that we could finish it all." An Wu nodded.
At this time, their father An Dabang came out of the house yawning. He was sleeping at home.
Fourth sister Chen told him that the three of them went over and ate two spare ribs and two big pig’s trotters of her sister!
After hearing this, An Dabang also felt a little greedy.
Chen Rou at home was also a little worried. I thought her sister and nephew would not get wet, right?
But to be honest, when it rained, it was really cold. The rain didn't stop until after 12 a.m., but the temperature dropped by several degrees.
Han Guobin came back in the middle of the night as usual. There were still eggs and other things at home, so he brought back a piece of tenderloin.
"I guess it's going to snow soon. Don't come back if it's too cold." Chen Rou said to him.
"Yeah, I know what's going on." Han Guobin nodded.
Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him. What was he thinking? This rough guy had become particularly homebound ever since he came back two months after leaving home.
"You have to eat enough even when you are outside." After getting on the kang, Chen Rou leaned on his arms and said.
"I'm full." Han Guobin looked at the children lying on the kang, kissed her, and said, "Go to sleep. I won't do it to you tonight." He had to let his wife have a rest.
Chen Rou pinched him, and the rough man spoke in a frivolous way.
Han Guobin contentedly hugged his wife and fell asleep.
When Chen Rou woke up the next morning, the sky was very dark. She took a look and knew that it was going to snow today.
When Han Guobin went out, Chen Rou made him some ginger soup and told him not to come back if it snowed.
Sure enough, it started snowing in the afternoon, and it was snowing heavily.
"Is the big white goose cold?" Han Zhou, wrapped up like a little dumpling, said as he stood under the eaves.
"It's not cold, the house is warm." Han Hang said. The two brothers rolled up a particularly warm nest with straw for the big white geese to live in.
As long as you feed it something every day, it won't like to go out for a walk.
"It's snowing so heavily, Dad probably won't be back tonight." Han Zhou asked again.
"I probably won't come back. It's too cold and I'll easily catch a cold." Han Hang said.
"Would you like to eat roasted sweet potatoes? I'll roast two for you." Chen Rou asked them as she chopped the beef and prepared to cook beef porridge.
Let’s put aside the tenderloin that Han Guobin brought back last night and eat it slowly.
"Yes." Both brothers nodded.
Chen Rou asked them to pick them themselves. She brought two sweet potatoes and put them in the stove.
When the beef porridge was cooked, the sweet potatoes were almost done, so they took them out with iron tongs and placed them on the stove to keep warm, and then they ate.
After finishing the beef porridge for dinner, he played on the kang for a while before going to get it to eat.
Chen Rou also ate some with the two brothers and found it very sweet.
The snow was still falling outside, and Han Guobin would definitely not be able to come back, so Chen Rou simply closed the door and took the children to bed.
This is how life is like in the countryside nowadays, it’s time to hibernate.
The next day, Mrs. Han came over after breakfast and asked quietly, "Did you hear about what happened last night?"
Chen Rou closed the shop early yesterday and went to bed with her son long ago. She asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"I know you don't know." Han Dasao whispered, "Wang Zhiqing was beaten by Uncle Guogang last night, and now he is lying in Zhiqing's place!"
Chen Rou frowned: "What's going on?"
Although Han Guogang has lost his way in marriage, he is not an impulsive person.
"I heard it from Dagui's wife, that big mouth. Shuanzi saw it and went back to tell his wife, and his wife told Dagui's wife. That's how I found out. But now it's all over the village. People say that Ye Zhiqing secretly went to the small shabby house in the back mountain with Wang Zhiqing." said Mrs. Han.
"What was the weather like last night?" Chen Rou asked in surprise.
It was freezing cold last night.
"What a shameless mood! Not to mention the weather last night, they would still do this even if there was heavy snow on the mountain." Mrs. Han said contemptuously.
"What does Ye Zhiqing want?" Chen Rou couldn't figure it out and asked.
"The latest news this morning seems to be that Wang Zhiqing has a plan to return to the city. Ye Zhiqing was thinking about returning to the city, so he went with him to the small shabby house in the back mountain." said Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han was right. Wang Tao did have information about a return-to-city quota. He just mentioned it to Ye Qian, and Ye Qian took the initiative.
Last night Ye Qian said that she wanted to go to the Youth League Office to find other female educated youth. Han Guogang was worried that it was a little late at night, so he followed her quietly. He knew that she didn't like him to follow her, so he just wanted to send her there and then go back.
Who knew that he was not going to the educated youth's place to find the female educated youth, but had already made an appointment with educated youth Wang Tao to go to that small shabby house.
Han Guogang's eyes were almost bared with anger, and he would naturally not give up with Wang Zhiqing.
Wang Zhiqing was beaten so badly that he had no power to resist. Now he is lying dead in the Zhiqing Office with a bruised face and nose. At the same time, the reputation of the Zhiqing Office has been ruined.
"This time Wang Zhiqing has really pissed off the captain. The captain has already gone to the town. I don't think he can go back to the city!" said Mrs. Han.
"If we don't let him return to the city, won't that continue to corrupt the morals here?" Chen Rou frowned.
This Wang Zhiqing is really a stinker!
"Do you still want to stay? Now you are locked in the house. I guess the captain will bring people here soon and send him to another place." said Mrs. Han.
"Why is the captain suddenly so strong?" Chen Rou asked.
"My second uncle and he are friends through thick and thin. He couldn't tolerate it the first time, so how can he forgive him this time? Our Han family is a big family in the village, so how can we let an educated youth sit on it and pee and shit on it? When the team leader saw my second uncle coming over, he said nothing!" said Mrs. Han.
What she didn't say was that Han Guogang saw her last night, but what about when Han Guogang didn't see her? These two people must be doing something dirty behind Han Guogang's back again!
"Then he must be sent to a distant place for transformation." Chen Rou said indifferently with no sympathy.
In the afternoon, Wang Zhiqing was taken away and directly charged with hooliganism and sent to a place with extremely difficult labor conditions.
In today's weather, it will be difficult to send it there.
Han Guogang told Ye Qian the result of the handling.
Ye Qian said angrily: "Why can't you help me? I want to go back to the city, don't you know I want to go back to the city!"
She was really going crazy staying in this place, she couldn't stay there any longer, she wanted to go back to the city, she just wanted to go back to the city!
"What about our children?" Han Guogang clenched his fists and looked at her with pursed lips.
"Don't you still have the child? When I settle down in the city, I will definitely take you all over. I have told you so many times, if you let me live like this, I will die sooner or later!" Ye Qian screamed.
"Where in the city is it so easy to go? What will you eat and drink when you get there?" Han Guogang looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Ye Qian doesn’t care, she just wants to go back to the city, she just wants to go back to the city!
Life here is simply unbearable. She wants Wang Tao to give her the quota for returning to the city. As long as he is willing to give her the quota, she will
