Chen's mother had already arrived, so naturally Han's mother's plan failed.
But she probably overestimated her status. She came that day and Chen Rou could send her back that day without even letting her stay overnight.
Chen Rou didn't intend to care about some things. After all, the seniority was there, and she couldn't just feel good about it. Han Guobin was her son, and the blood relationship between them could not be severed in this lifetime.
Her sons are also grandsons of the old Han family, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.
So Chen Rou doesn't care about many things, but that doesn't mean she can just let Han's mother do whatever she wants.
She didn't get any credit or merit at all, so why should she serve her so well? What should be given is not less, but what should be given is not more.
If she dared to come to the city, she would send her back. Even if Han Guobin was at home, she would do so without hesitation.
You can do whatever you want at home, she can't see or hear you, but if you want to come to her house to cause trouble, you have to ask her if she agrees.
This time, Chen's mother did not come alone. Chen's fourth sister also came with her.
It was expected that Chen's mother would come, but it was a little unexpected that her fourth sister would come. However, Chen Rou was also happy and naturally welcomed her.
"Are An and An Wu still in school?" Chen Rou asked.
"They are here. Otherwise, if I don't let them come, they would have to follow me." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
Both of my sons are going to school and will have to take the college entrance exam next year.
Neither of them worked hard to begin with, and had no interest in studying at all. They thought it would be more practical to go down to the fields and earn work points.
But their mother said that when they go to high school and have enough academic qualifications, they can learn to drive a truck from their uncle.
Now their eyes lit up, and they were both determined to learn how to drive from their uncle.
Farm work is exhausting. If they can learn to drive, they will naturally choose to do so. Not only is it respectable, it is also a stable job and pays well. So they must make every effort to study hard.
"Bring him here to live during the holidays, and let your fourth brother-in-law go over and live with your parents-in-law for a few days." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"It will snow by then." Sister Chen said, then looked at her younger sister.
Chen Rou touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, have you noticed that my younger sister looks almost the same as when she first got married?" said Chen Sijie.
How could Chen's mother not see it? She hadn't seen her youngest daughter since her family moved to the city this year. Chen's mother was also worried about her, but when she came here, she didn't worry about her at all.
Obviously, she doesn't need to worry about it. Her little daughter must be living a good life now. Looking at her, she looks no different from when she got married.
But this year Hanghang is ten years older.
Ten years may sound like a long time, but it feels like just the blink of an eye and it’s gone.
But my daughter hasn't changed much, but she has really grown up over the years.
Mother Chen was very pleased.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Sister Four is getting younger and younger now, isn't she? Brother Four loves you, and Brother An and Brother Wu have grown up too. When the time comes, the three of them will love you together."
"I don't dare to count on the two brothers. When they grow up, it's time for them to get married. Once they get married, the wives will belong to others." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
But isn’t this life? This is how it’s been passed down from generation to generation.
Mother Chen held the fourth child in her arms, looked at the big house and said, "I've heard your third brother say that this house is magnificent. Now I see it, it's really nice."
"Come into the house and take a look." Chen Rou took the little fourth child from her arms, gave the little guy a piece of steamed cake brought by his grandmother, and let him go play with his brothers and sisters.
Chen Rou brought her mother and sister into the house to take a look.
It is not a brick and tile house like those in the countryside, but it is obviously more grand and spacious, and it has a bit of the shadow of a semi-building. Otherwise, why would it cost so much money? Although the family assets at that time were not as much as they are now, it was not small either. Including furniture and other things, 90% of it was spent on this.
"This house is nice." Chen's mother said with a smile after seeing it.
Fourth Sister Chen also asked: "Now this house is considered bought?"
"Yeah." Chen Rou nodded.
"Just buy it. If all the educated youth return to the city in the future, houses will definitely be in short supply. If you buy it now, you don't have to worry about others renting it out at a high price." Sister Chen Si said.
"This room is so bright, why are there so many paper cranes?" Mother Chen asked as she opened Miss Orange's future room.
"The second son folded this for his sister. This room is also reserved for Chengzi. When he grows up, he will have his own room. Mom, you and your sister will live in this room tonight." Chen Rou said as she opened the cabinet, took out the bedding from the cabinet and made the room.
The room is clean. Although no one lives there, it is not dusty. The eldest and second sons come in to clean it every day. The second son, in particular, knows that this is his sister's future room and he would wipe it with a rag.
"It's really spacious. When your father comes, let him stay for a few more days. The old man will definitely be happy." Chen's mother said with a smile.
"Let Dad stay here. You can go back after the New Year." Chen Rou said.
"If I didn't have to go back to take care of the father and his two sons, I would have wanted to stay in this house for a few more days," said Sister Chen Si.
"That doesn't matter. You and mother can stay here together, and it won't be a problem for your brother-in-law An Anwu to go to their grandparents' house to eat for a few days." Chen Rou said.
"Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
"I know, she must be thinking about her brother-in-law. It's okay at night, but if she's away from him for a long time, she won't be able to sleep well at night." Chen Rou teased.
Sister Chen spat at her.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Rou started to prepare lunch, and Chen Sijie came in to help.
"Why didn't Third Brother come in today? I thought he was going to come today." Chen Rou said.
"Third brother will come tomorrow. We are going to collect the old hens and roosters today." said Fourth Sister Chen.
"Fourth sister, you have seen the current situation. Do you have any ideas?" Chen Rou said while cutting radishes.
"I have the idea, but I'm worried." Chen Sijie was washing pickles and said, "You know, your brother-in-law and I have been doing farm work all our lives. We only know how to do farm work, and we don't have any confidence in anything else."
Her family situation naturally cannot be compared with her sister's.
Whether her sister's business succeeds or not, it doesn't really matter. If it succeeds, that would be the best, but if it fails, she still has her brother-in-law's job, which is the best way out.
But if she and Dabang came in to do business and failed, they would have no way out and would have to return to the village. Whether they would be laughed at was secondary. The main issue was that it would undermine people's confidence.
"You can make dumplings, so why not go to the city with my brother-in-law and open a dumpling shop? I've been planning to make dumplings before." Chen Rou said.
Nowadays, the bun shop alone is too busy to handle the workload, so naturally there is no time to make dumplings.
As for hiring people, that is not safe, because if you want to control the money, you must have your own people.
Aunt He went over to help at the bun shop, but she had no control over the money, so Han Guoli helped collect it.
Unlike in later generations where people can hire people for anything, it hasn’t developed to that level yet.
So it is very soft so don’t eat too much to avoid being unable to chew it. Let’s run the bun shop first.
"You make buns and I make dumplings. Isn't this just stealing your business?" Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
"What's the big deal? It's their right to eat whatever they want. Besides, my bun shop only does morning business, and it closes at almost nine o'clock," said Chen Rou.
Besides, if her fourth sister is gone, there will be someone else in the future, so it doesn’t matter much.
"Not for now, let's wait and see later." Sister Chen Si said, feeling comforted that her younger sister didn't mind.
Chen Rou nodded and didn't say anything more about it. It wouldn't be too late to enter the city when the situation improved in the next few years.
"Rou Rou, where is the big white goose at home?" Chen's mother asked outside.
"When we first came into the city, they asked me to chop it up and stew it," said Chen Rou.
"Why stew it?" Chen's mother couldn't help but ask, "The one at home is still fine. We don't need to feed it. It can find food by itself, and the eggs it lays are delicious."
"I'm not used to living in the city. I'm shy. My family members keep chasing me and nagging me. I've been restless for several days. So I asked Guobin to chop it up and stew it in a pot." Chen Rou said.
"That's true. There are no rivers in this city, so it's hard to get used to it." Mother Chen said, "We have saved some goose eggs at home. When your third brother comes to the city tomorrow, tell your father to bring some goose eggs to Hanghang and the others to replenish their bodies."
"That's all. Keep it for your family. Third sister-in-law is pregnant." Chen Rou put the radish and chopped mutton into the pot and started stewing, saying with a smile.
"Your third sister-in-law is pregnant at a lucky time. She has eggs to eat every day. Last time I stewed a chicken for your father to nourish his body, and your father gave a lot of it away. I can't say she is being treated badly." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then you and my father should eat too."
"What can we do without a goose at home?" said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou didn't say anything. She stewed mutton and radish in the pot. She also cut the pickles that her fourth sister had cut, and some pork loin cut into the size of a little finger. It would be great to stir-fry the pickles.
I washed another head of cabbage to make sour cabbage, and paired it with a plate of scrambled eggs. This was my lunch.
"If outsiders saw you eating like this, they would be shocked." Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
"Smack your lips if you want to. My dear mother and sister are here, so shouldn't I prepare something delicious for them to eat?" Chen Rou held the fourth child in her arms and stuffed a piece of scrambled egg into his mouth.
The little guy ate with relish. After he finished, Chen Rou gave him another mouthful of rice. Han Hang, Han Zhou, and Han Cheng, the three siblings, no longer needed anyone to take care of them.
Chen's mother was busy picking up food for them. Han Hang said, "Grandma, you eat by yourself. We'll do it ourselves."
"Mom, you don't have to worry about them. They are so old now and can eat by themselves. You eat your own food." Chen Rou said as she scooped a piece of stewed mutton for her mother and a piece for her fourth sister, saying, "Don't leave any. We will have stewed fish tonight. It will become stale if you leave it."
Mother Chen and Fourth Sister Chen also ate. This lunch was really delicious and they enjoyed it very much.
After eating, Han Hang went to clean up the dishes and wash the dishes.
"Aunt Si can come." Sister Chen Si took it and said, "You go and study."
"Aunt Four, I made this. You and grandma go into the room and talk to my mother. Just listen to what we talk about semiconductors." Han Hang said.
Then he started washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.
Looking at his skillful movements, he is obviously a veteran.
Chen Sijie went into the house and told her sister. Chen Rou said, "Today it's the eldest, tomorrow it's the second, they take turns."
"They are all boys and so young, why do you let them do this?" Sister Chen Si couldn't help but say.
"It's outrageous." Chen's mother also said to her daughter.
Chen Rou said inexplicably: "Why can't they do this? Will they marry wives in the future? Their generation will all be able to keep up with the education, and their wives will definitely have jobs in the future. How can they not do housework? It will easily cause family conflicts."
"What a ridiculous theory! I've never seen a man doing housework!" Sister Chen rolled her eyes at her.
"That's because you are surprised. When Guobin is at home, I don't have to do any work. I am just responsible for cooking. If I didn't dislike him, he would cook porridge. I don't even have to cook." Chen Rou raised an eyebrow.
"How dare you say that? Many people in your village have said that you are lazy. Even the news has reached me. You still let a grown man wash your clothes. It's totally rude." said Chen's mother.
"You will understand in the future that letting boys help with housework is also a way to cultivate their sense of family responsibility," said Chen Rou.
Both Chen's mother and Chen's fourth sister were opposed to it, but it was useless because whoever had the son had the final say.
Changing the subject, Mother Chen sat on the kang and said, "Although we have come to the city, we still have to show respect to your parents-in-law."
"It's a lot. The food that should be given is given every year, and other things like brown sugar are also sent back at other times." Chen Rou said.
Only then did Chen's mother nod.
Even though the person is not in the village, the money and things must be sent back. It is not good to argue with the elderly, otherwise no matter how right you are, it will be unreasonable.
Send all the money and things back. Don't pay any attention to what the old couple say. The villagers will also know what's going on. Only then can you live a good life outside.
After chatting with her mother and sister for a while, Chen Rou let them rest.
After waking up from a nap, Chen Rouren made them a bowl of malted milk to drink, and then she carried the soaked soybeans in a wooden barrel to the mill.
It’s time to grind soy milk, and Sister Chen Si will follow.
Chen Rou also took it with her.
This is something we do every afternoon. In the past, we ground the raw soy milk, but now that the weather is cold, we basically don’t worry about it going bad.
When the weather was hot, she would take advantage of Han Guobin not being at home and put the soy milk into the space. If he was at home, she would ask him to grind the soy milk before the mill closed at nine o'clock in the evening and then send it to the bun shop.
The two sisters ground some raw soy milk, but had no home to go, so they brought some flour and went straight to the bun shop.
Fourth Sister Chen said, "This is the steamed bun shop."
"It's just a little small." Chen Rou smiled.
She took the key to open the door and put the raw soy milk aside. Han Guoli and Aunt He would boil it tomorrow morning. It would take several minutes to boil. This was what she reminded them.
Chen Rou also brought some flour, and there was also some old dough here, so she naturally started kneading the dough.
The kneaded dough was left to ferment and covered with a specially prepared thick quilt. Chen Rou's work for the day was done.
It needs to be fermented a second time, but tomorrow morning, Auntie Li He from South Korea will come over to knead the dough for the second fermentation. It usually takes more than an hour, but during the second fermentation, you can prepare the fillings for the dumplings.
So we can start making dumplings at around five o'clock, then steam them, and open for business at six o'clock.
They make and sell the dumplings as they go. Usually they make dozens of kilograms of flour, which is enough for about twenty baskets of dumplings.
Before, when she was at home, Chen Rou would get up and knead the dough before going to bed, so she could start making dumplings directly in the second half of the night. But now that she has taken it to the dumpling shop, things are different.
After finishing all these, Chen Rou took Chen Sijie home to prepare dinner.
After dinner, I left the eldest and second child at home to do their homework, and then I took my mother, sister, daughter and son out for a walk.
"The city has changed a lot nowadays." Sister Chen Si said in surprise as she looked at the way the girls on the street were dressed.
"That's nothing. Guobin came back and said that people in big cities all wear skirts, and he asked me if I like them." Chen Rou said.
"I want to buy this for you?" Sister Chen Si said with a smile.
"I don't dare ask him to buy it for me." Chen Rou said.
She really likes skirts, but she can't believe Han Guobin's taste. He has a typical straight male aesthetic. What women think is ugly, he thinks is beautiful, and what women think is beautiful, he thinks is average.
If she really wants to buy it, she will wait until it becomes popular in the county and then buy it herself.
"The trend is really different from before," said Chen's mother, who was holding her granddaughter's hand.
The last time I went to the city was many years ago. What was it like then? Chen's mother remembered that there were few people on the street and it was quite chaotic.
How can it be compared to today's streets where people are coming and going, and everyone looks so energetic?
Chen Rou said: "It will get better and better in the future."
Sister Chen Si came here not only to visit, but also to buy some cloth to make clothes. Her two sons’ cotton-padded jackets and trousers are not needed this year, but they will need summer clothes for next year.
I can no longer wear anything.
As for the retired ones, I would take them back to my parents' home and ask my sister-in-law if she wanted them. They didn't have many patches and were still very new. But my brothers and I grew taller quickly, so even if we grew them longer, they still wouldn't be long enough in two years. There were no smaller ones, so the clothes naturally couldn't be wasted.
Chen Rou brought her to this family's house instead of going directly to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth. It would be better to go there as soon as possible because there was no cloth left.
This family had cloth for sale at home, and it was cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Sister Chen saved up some cloth coupons and got a lot more than she originally wanted to.
"Buy me a piece of this color, too." Chen Rou said, pointing to a piece of light-colored cloth.
The store owner tore off a piece for her, which was almost enough to make a top.
Chen Rou asked Chen Sijie to help hold it while she held little Lao Si in her arms. They chatted for a while before going home.
With Chen's mother around, Chen Rou came to the bun shop early the next morning.
Fourth sister Chen also got up early and followed her over. Chen Rou also applied Pechoin to her and said, "Fourth sister, take a box with you when you go back. There are two boxes at home. I used one and there is still some left."
"No, why would I use this? Just apply it occasionally." Sister Chen said. She was not used to applying these things.
"Live a more refined life, and my brother-in-law will like it when he sees it." Chen Rou said.
Fourth Sister Chen smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law doesn't care about these things."
"It's okay if you don't care, but as women we have to pay more attention to it. Even if we don't show it to our brother-in-law, we can show it to ourselves." Chen Rou said.
The two sisters came over after washing up.
It was only six o'clock when I arrived at the bun shop, and I started helping out.
Making and steaming dumplings is a lot of work.
Sister Chen Si has also witnessed how busy the bun shop is. Soon after it opened, people started coming to buy buns and make soy milk. If it's cold today, the tables in the bun shop will not be moved outside, and the customers can just eat inside.
Aunt He was busy until after seven o'clock, and also bought some steamed buns and soy milk to take back. Since she was not cooking today, she just ate the steamed buns and soy milk.
"Aunt He, is this the time to get off work?" asked Chen Sijie.
"Well, Aunt He has to go back to take care of her grandson, so she came over to help in the morning." Chen Rou nodded.
Fourth sister Chen nodded, and Chen Rou asked Han Guoli how the boiled peanuts sold yesterday.
"It's pretty good. There are not many pounds of boiled peanuts left from what I cooked yesterday." Han Guoli was also in a good mood.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then you will have a good harvest this year."
Han Guoli was a little worried and said, "The trend is getting better and better now. I think there will definitely be more people coming to sell in the future. By then, it won't be as easy to sell as it is now."
"Then you should sell more while the time is right now." Chen Rou said.
"I originally wanted to help Zhang Jiang start the business, but Zhang Jiang, the stubborn old man, didn't dare to sell it." Han Guoli asked, "Does he think I'm embarrassing?"
"If he doesn't want to go, you can go by yourself. Didn't he get a salary increase last month?" Chen Rou said.
The salary was adjusted again last month. Those who didn’t increase in previous years have increased this year, and those who increased in previous years remain the same this year.
Nowadays, Zhang Jiang’s salary is over 30 yuan, which is not a small amount.
"My salary plus the money I make from selling peanuts is much more than his," said Han Guoli.
"If a woman is capable, the man will feel more relaxed. Don't argue with him. If he doesn't want to sell it, then don't sell it." Chen Rou said.
Han Guoli nodded and didn't argue with Zhang Jiang. She just wanted to sell more, but she didn't expect him to be so cowardly and not dare to do it.
She cooked the porridge and sent it home.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie were busy in the store.
Brother Chen San arrived at half past one with a car full of stuff.
Chen Rou came over to help park the bicycle, and looked at her third brother and said, "Third brother, if you go back and forth every day, just carry less each time."
"That's too much trouble." Brother Chen San wiped his sweat and said.
Chen Rou first poured him a bowl of water, and then scooped soy milk and gave him some buns to eat.
Third Brother Chen said, "Fourth sister, do you want to join me and open a shop in the city? Then I can deliver goods for you."
"It's not that easy to open a shop. Even Dabang doesn't even know about it." said Sister Chen Si.
I came here this morning to see the business of this bun shop. I have to say, Sister Chen Si was a little tempted.
"Then go back and have a good talk with Dabang. The city is short of everything now, so there's not much we can lack." Brother Chen San said.
"Look again." said Chen Sijie.
Brother Chen San didn't say anything. After eating two buns and a bowl of soy milk, he felt better.
Then the unloading began.
What did he bring in this time? We have everything.
Eggs, potatoes, soybeans, peanuts, cabbage, radishes, etc. I also harvested two live chickens yesterday. Even these two are not easy to harvest. People want to keep the new chickens for laying eggs and not sell them, so they won't be wasted in the future. I'll talk about it next year.
But with so many things, there’s no need to worry about not being able to sell them for money.
At this moment, everyone came over to ask. There were enough people today, so Chen Rou kept some for stuffing and started selling the rest.
Under Fourth Sister Chen's stunned gaze, all the things her Third Brother had brought over were soon gone, and after the buns were sold, these things were almost sold out as well.
Everyone praised the freshness of the things.
Sister Chen Si and Brother Chen San both stayed for lunch and went back after eating.
Brother Chen San gave the car a ride back, and Chen Rou gave the Pechoin and the piece of light-colored cloth that she had torn off yesterday to her fourth sister.
"Forget about Pechoin. What do you need the cloth for? Keep it for yourself." said Fourth Sister Chen.
"Take it back and make yourself some clothes, and bring my two nephews over when you have time." Chen Rou said. She saw that her sister was reluctant to buy one for herself, so she bought her a piece of clothing.
Before Fourth Sister Chen could say anything else, Third Brother Chen said, "Hurry up, stop pushing it back and forth."
Fourth Sister Chen rolled her eyes at him before getting into the car and waving to her sister and mother.
When she returned home, Sister Chen Si couldn't help but sigh.
My younger sister lives very comfortably there, but a nest of gold or silver is still not as good as my own copper nest.
She went to her mother-in-law and said something, then came back, cooked the rice and started preparing dinner.
When the two brothers An, An and Wu came back, they naturally couldn't help but ask their aunt how her business was going in the city.
"Why do you need to worry about these?" said Chen Sijie.
"We are just concerned about our aunt. Mom, please tell us a seat and we will go in when the holiday comes." An said.
"If you go in, remember to bring food with you, and you have to go to the bun shop to help in the morning." Fourth Sister Chen naturally did not stop her son from getting close to their aunt's house, she just said.
"That's for sure." An said.
Anwu also nodded.
Sister Chen Si didn't say anything at this point. She told them the location, then took out the cloth and said, "Save it for you to make clothes for next year."
The two brothers were naturally happy when they knew they were going to have new clothes to wear.
However, Chen Sijie was still greatly shocked when she went to the city this time. She talked about this with An Dabang before going to bed at night.
She also said that her third brother and her younger sister were asked to go to the city to try to do business.
"Is business so good?" asked An Dabang.
"The bun shop has never been short of customers since it opened. The things that my third brother sent over were sold out in a short time. Even the two chickens were taken away by someone. They are very rare." said Chen Sijie.
An Dabang hesitated and said, "Do you want to go?"
"I kind of want to, but we've just paid off the debt we owe for building a house, so we need to save up some capital to move there," said Chen Sijie.
You can't do business and have to borrow money from her sister. That doesn't make sense.
"Then let's raise one more pig and a few more chickens next year," said An Dabang.
"Do you have any objection if I really go to the city to do business?" Sister Chen Si said happily.
"I'm not as capable as Guobin, who can't make your aunt live such a comfortable life, but I also want you to live a good life." An Dabang said.
If business is good, why not go? At worst, I can just go back to the village and continue farming. It can’t be worse than this.
"You're a rough guy." Sister Chen Si was moved by him and hit him lightly.
"Wife, why does it smell so good?" An Dabang sniffed and asked.
"My younger sister gave me a box of Pechoin, and I applied it this morning." But it still smells good until now.
"Let me smell it again."
"Not serious at all."
In the darkness, the couple started working in bed.
Chen's mother helped her daughter take care of her grandchildren in the city. Because her mother came, Chen Rou saved a lot of effort.
After half a month, all the work in the village was done, and Brother Chen San drove Chen's father to the city.
Chen's mother was very happy. That day, Chen Rou brought the foot-washing water and soap to her father to wash his feet. She also cut his nails without any disgust.
At night, when she went to bed, Chen's mother said to her husband, "Look, does Rourou dislike it? She serves me better than anyone else."
Father Chen was naturally comforted and said, "Rou Rou is filial, I know."
"Go to bed early. You take care of the grandchildren tomorrow and I'll go to the bun shop to help." said Chen's mother.
"Okay." Father Chen nodded.
Han Guobin came back relatively late this year, in late October, when the weather was very cold.
It was just afternoon, Chen Rou had just woken up from a nap and was about to go out to grind soy milk when he came back.
When she saw this rough man, Chen Rou realized how much she missed him. Even though her child was already that grown up, she still missed him.
"Wife, I went to the bathhouse specially to take a bath this time, so I don't stink anymore." Han Guobin put down the personal bag he brought back and the fan he brought for the children, walked up to his wife, looked at her and said with a smile.
Chen Rou smiled at the man and said, "Do you think I won't dislike you if you take a bath?"
"I don't mind." Han Guobin said with a smile.
As he said this, he was about to hug the wife he had been thinking about day and night.
But Chen's mother's voice came from inside the room: "Is Guobin back?"
Han Guobin temporarily suppressed his thoughts about his wife and said, "Mom, it's me."
Soon Chen's mother, who was taking a nap, got dressed and came out. Chen's father, who was feeding chickens in the backyard, also heard the noise and came over.
"Dad, Mom." Han Guobin shouted with a smile.
"I'm glad you came back safely." Father Chen nodded with satisfaction.
Chen's mother was also very happy. It was true. The more she looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she was. She said, "Are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat."
"I'm really a little hungry. Mom, please make something for me." Han Guobin nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chen's mother said. She went into the kitchen to steam buns, cut meat and stir-fry pickles, and made an egg drop soup.
Outside, Chen Rou asked him why he came back only now?
"There were a lot of things to do, so it was delayed," said Han Guobin.
Han Cheng said happily: "Dad, is this the electric fan you bought for us?"
"You have behaved well at home, so Dad decided to reward you and bought these for you at the price of two big fat pigs," said Han Guobin.
"Dad, you're so nice." Han Cheng said, hugging her father's legs.
The fourth little boy followed suit and went over to hug his father's legs.
Han Guobin smiled and picked up the two siblings. When Chen Rou opened the bag and saw two semiconductors inside, she was stunned and asked, "Why did you buy two semiconductors?"
"The old house is very nice, and my parents are also nice, so I brought it back specially." Han Guobin said.
"You have to calculate the price." Father Chen looked at the semiconductor with curiosity, but said seriously.
"If you told me this, I wouldn't have given it to you." Han Guobin smiled and said, "I brought it especially for you and mom. You can choose channels to listen to news from Beijing, and there are also channels for operas. You can use it during the slack season."
"Dad, your son-in-law respects you." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Father Chen had a smile on his face and was happy.
"Showing filial piety costs money, and semiconductors are so expensive." Chen's mother, who was in the kitchen, heard this and said.
In addition to the two semiconductors, there were also new clothes bundled together. Chen Rou asked, "Why are there so many clothes?"
"They are all for you and the children. They are just perfect for next summer," said Han Guobin.
Chen Rou unpacked it. They were all for summer wear and the styles were very novel. Needless to say, she knew they must have been bought in the South.
Han Cheng was excited because her father bought her two pretty little skirts, little leather shoes, and a rag doll!
Brothers Han Hang and Han Zhou both have one, and so does the youngest brother.
Of course all of their numbers added up are not as much as their mothers'.
Chen Rou had three pairs of trousers, four tops, two sets of skirts, two pairs of small leather shoes of different styles, and a pair of leather shoes with little heels.
Chen Rou looked at these things and smiled, "What about your own?"
"My wife, you just need to rip some cloth and make it for me. I am used to wearing what you make for me." Han Guobin said, looking at his wife.
Chen Rou didn't dare to look at this rough man. There seemed to be a green light in his eyes. Her father was still there.
She coughed dryly and said, "You still have something to wear, so wear the old ones." Let him look at her with eyes that showed he was seeing flesh!
After a while, Chen's mother came out with food, and Han Guobin started eating first.
Chen Rou continued to organize and said, "We still have so many brown sugar cubes?" The packaging was very sturdy. He used several bags to wrap them. There must be more than ten pounds.
"They grow sugarcane over there, and the villagers make their own brown sugar. It looks good, so I bought some here." Han Guobin said while eating.
"What about these milk powder, milk candies and so on?" Chen Rou asked.
"I bought it in the provincial capital. I estimated that there would be nothing left at home, so I bought some for the children," said Han Guobin.
"How much money will this cost?" said Chen's mother.
The son-in-law is promising, but his hands are too big.
"It's okay. This trip is very busy and we have a lot of subsidies." Han Guobin said.
"We have to be frugal though. When the children grow up, there will be more places to spend money, so we have to save some," said Chen's mother.
"Okay, I've made note of it. I'll definitely save more next time," said Han Guobin.
Chen's mother didn't say anything, and Chen Rou put these things away. She put the children's clothes in their own rooms, and Chen Rou put her own clothes in her own room.
Just put brown sugar, milk powder, toffee, etc. in the kitchen cabinet.
Let Han Guobin rest at home, Chen Rou wanted to go over to grind soy milk, Han Guobin said: "Wife, you stay here, I will go over to grind it in the evening."
"No need. I can go." Chen Rou waved her hand and went to the mill by herself. Then she went to the bun shop to make the dough and went home after she was done.
The eldest and second brother also came back from school.
The two brothers were very happy because their father brought them each a new set of clothes and a pair of canvas shoes!
Chen's father and mother installed batteries in their semiconductor machine, and then began to learn how to change channels, feeling very happy.
In short, everyone is happy that Han Guobin is back this time.
At night, Chen Rou became even softer than a pool of spring water.
The rough man was very enthusiastic. He hadn't seen her for such a long time and missed her terribly.
He was indeed still in good shape. He treated her with great care and tenderness for a while before taking the untouched purse.
Chen Rou knew that the trip would take such a long time that she would definitely earn a lot, but she didn't expect to make nearly a thousand dollars more, a total of three thousand dollars.
"We have plenty of time this time, so we sold a few more televisions. We shipped them all to the countryside to sell. We don't know each other and will forget about them after a while. Don't worry," said Han Guobin.
He bought his brown sugar when he was selling televisions.
"You have to know this clearly. We would rather make less profit than make any profit, but we have to be on the safe side." Chen Rou looked at him and said.
"It's safe. Dayuan and I are on high alert." Han Guobin said.
Besides, he and Li Dayuan don't really earn much. Zhou Chuan and his friends may earn more. Although they haven't met each other, Zhou Chuan and his friends always come back later than he and Li Dayuan, so they must have worked more.
But Han Guobin and Li Dayuan were almost in trouble before, so they were not greedy and rushed back.
The two of them took turns sleeping and driving, and sometimes they were days later than planned. This time they were not late, as today was the time the unit required them to return.
They try to create the illusion that there is no time to engage in speculation.
But they have three days off later.
In fact, they could have done more during these three days of holiday, but Han Guobin and Li Dayuan stopped.
We made quite a bit of money this time.
The profit I’ve made this year just from this is already five thousand. What kind of amount is that? And what I did before.
After hearing what he said, Chen Rou stopped talking. Han Guobin took out a few watches from his bag and said, "Wife, I'm going to sell these three to Lao Yang, and you can keep this one for Dad."
"How much does this cost?" Chen Rou asked.
"It's not expensive, just a few dozen dollars to get the goods." Han Guobin said.
But if it is sold, it can be sold for hundreds or more, which is better than the one Han Guobin is wearing.
Chen Rou nodded and planned to wait until her parents were ready to go back before taking the child back to her father, but she would leave it with her for now.
After putting away all the things, the couple lay down. Han Guobin touched his wife again, and finally he expressed all his longing for her, then he hugged her and went to sleep.
Han Guobin is back, and there are still three days of vacation. Chen Rou naturally has a lot more time to take care of the children.
