In September, all the children went to school.
Chen Rou is also about to start getting busy.
Because starting from this month, the village will have the autumn harvest, and the grain from the harvest will basically be transported here.
Uncle Donkey will increase his trips from once a day to twice a day. The morning trip will carry fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, eggs, etc. There will be another trip in the afternoon to deliver food.
Now that the four children have gone to school, Chen Rou is naturally the only one who has to take care of the shop.
Fortunately, there was Aunt He. After finishing her work at the bun shop, she came over to the grocery store to help her, so she was able to get by.
In late September, Chen Rou's shop entered its peak busy period.
After the newly harvested grain was dried, it was delivered.
Now that production quotas have been assigned to each household, supplies in the countryside are particularly abundant. Uncle Donkey is the one who collects the supplies in the countryside. He remembers clearly whose supplies he has collected and how much he has collected. When he returns from his business trip, Han Guobin will come back to settle the bill for everyone.
Everyone will get a fair amount of money, so the villagers feel very relieved.
Han Guolin went back to his hometown because his father was still farming and had planted a lot, so he had to go back to help harvest the crops.
Song Xiaoyu didn't want to go back, but when she thought that after the grain was harvested, her parents would give her a lot of food to bring back, she went back to cook a meal.
As for Han Si and Han Bo, they stayed behind as they still had to study.
But the two brothers obviously love TV and come here to watch TV every day after school.
Chen Rou was so busy that she didn't get home until after seven o'clock that day. Now, no matter whether it was lunch or dinner, the children would come home from school and prepare it for her.
I was too busy to take care of it, but fortunately the children have grown up and are really useful now.
When Chen Rou came back, she also saw a group of children at home.
"Second Empress." The two brothers Han Si and Han Bo shouted.
"Well, have you eaten them all?" Chen Rou asked.
"I've eaten at Third Aunt's house." Han Si nodded.
"Have you finished your homework?" Chen Rou said.
"It's done. It's written." Han Si said quickly.
His brother also nodded quickly.
Chen Rou didn't say anything, and Han Hang said, "There's still hot water in the kitchen, go take a shower first."
Chen Rou really wanted to take a bath, so she came over to scoop up some water and carried it directly to the backyard.
The bathroom in the backyard is made of bricks and stones. It is not big, but it is enough for bathing. It is not needed in winter because people will go to the bathhouse, which is warmer and more suitable for bathing.
After taking a shower, Chen Rou went back to the room to settle the bill. It was almost time when she finished, and the children were still watching TV.
"It's getting late, let's go home and come back tomorrow." Chen Rou said.
"Then I'll come tomorrow." Yaoyao said.
Han Si and Han Bo, the two brothers, actually didn't want to leave and wanted to see more because it was so beautiful. But when they saw that it was getting dark, they had no choice but to follow Yaoyao back.
Chen Bing and other children from the neighbors all went back to their homes.
Chen Rou turned off the TV and looked at Han Cheng and Han Qifan, the brother and sister. As for the eldest and the second oldest, they did not come out and were studying in the house.
The new semester has begun, and the two brothers are working very hard.
Especially Han Zhou, he also wants a scholarship. His brother can get a scholarship every semester, so his private treasury is very full. Their mother will only take half of the scholarship as a filial gift, and keep the other half for them.
So he is not slacking off at all.
Not to mention Korean Air, after entering high school, the knowledge is more comprehensive and the difficulty is also increased.
Moreover, their school has stipulated this year that in addition to the midterm and final exams, a joint exam among all schools has been added. Students who are in the top ten in the whole grade in both the midterm and final exams will receive a scholarship.
If students can make it into the top ten in the joint entrance examination of each school, their scholarships can be doubled.
This may be another motivation for them.
Han Cheng and his brother Han Laosi, who was in the same grade as him, did not feel as much pressure. However, Han Cheng still took the English book to read, but Han Laosi did not want to read it.
Chen Rou asked, "Do you still want the little donkey?"
For the sake of his little donkey, Han Laosi had no choice but to study hard.
This is the kind of person who can't sit still for two minutes as if his butt is pricked by a needle. How can he be unrestrained?
It was almost half past nine, so I made them a cup of milk powder and let them go to bed.
The next morning, Chen Rou came to the bun shop. Han Hang and Han Zhou were the first to get up and recite English in class. No matter it was windy or rainy, Han Hang would never miss a class because he set a good example and Han Zhou followed suit.
It was half past six. Han Zhou came to the bun shop to get some buns to eat, while Han Hang heated up the milk that the milkman had brought that morning.
The four brothers and sisters ate buns with milk and then went to school.
Just lock the door at home and don't worry about anything else. The three big dogs are not raised for nothing.
Chen Rou is very busy and doesn't have much free time every day.
At the end of October, most of the grain in the village had been harvested, and Chen's mother was also free, so this day came.
I also brought half a jar of peanut oil.
This is the peanut oil squeezed out from the oil press factory in Chen Sange's village. It is very fragrant.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "The money earned from Third Brother's oil mill is not enough for what you brought to me, mother."
"His small workshop was only opened because Guobin brought him an oil press from the south. How could he have any objection to me bringing you some peanut oil?" Chen's mother said indifferently.
Chen Rouzhi called it the Oil Press Factory. Her third brother really liked the name and thought it was very impressive.
But in fact there were only two oil presses inside, so Chen's mother called it a small workshop.
The two sets of oil presses inside were brought back by Han Guobin from the south for Brother Chen San. They are very easy to use and have an oil yield that is very high.
So her third brother is now an oil producer, mainly producing peanut oil, and he often goes out to buy peanuts.
Before Han Guobin went out this time, his third brother came to find him and wanted to add two more oil presses.
If two more oil presses are added, Chen Rou's shop will be able to supply more peanut oil in the future.
Now, because there are only two units, the peanut oil sold by Chen Rou will be out of stock from time to time.
After all, that peanut oil is pure peanut oil. Even though it is a bit expensive, everyone is very eager for it.
Last time I brought three large tanks, each half filled, for fear that the oil would overflow on the road if it was fully filled, so now we use these large tanks to store the oil.
Aunt He took all the money herself, keeping half for herself, giving half to her nephew Zhou Chuan, and dividing the rest equally among her daughters.
After using it, I have nothing bad to say.
But there aren’t many, and they’re often out of stock.
But after this autumn harvest, peanut oil and soybean oil will definitely be in sufficient supply in the future. After all, it is the end of the year, and they will be particularly popular then.
Of course, her third brother was already planning to expand his business outwards, harvesting peanuts and soybeans in all directions.
"How did my elder brother and second brother's harvest go this year?" Chen Rou asked as she washed a tomato for her mother.
"They are all pretty good." Mother Chen said, and then sarcastically said, "Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are jealous of your third brother's small workshop and want to get involved."
"Didn't the third brother ask them before, asking them to contribute some money to buy an oil press together, and then split the profits equally? Didn't the eldest and second brothers refuse?" Chen Rou said.
"They refused to pay, but now that they see the small workshop is getting better and better, they want it," said Chen's mother.
"What does Third Brother say?" Chen Rou asked.
"Your third brother would never indulge them. He just refused directly." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Just refuse."
"Your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't look very happy." said Chen's mother.
"We've separated and each family is living their own life. So what if they're unhappy?" Chen Rou said indifferently.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "You are becoming more and more insightful."
"Mom, I'm almost forty." Chen Rou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was already in her thirties, what was there for her to be upset about?
If relatives can sit down and have a good talk, then they can sit down and have a good talk. If not, then she won't stay any longer. This is life. Why force it?
And they all have selfish motives. It's normal for her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to have such thoughts. There's nothing to be upset about.
Chen's mother said, "She is almost 40, but she is being raised by Guobin, so she still looks young to me."
I don’t know how much money is spent on food and face every month. The youngest daughter is already 30 years old, but looking at her face, she looks like she is less than 30 years old.
The older wives in the village who do farm work and are in their twenties and twenties all look older than her and don't look as young as she does.
"I didn't ask Guobin to support me. My two shops are enough to support myself." Chen Rou corrected.
"Okay, okay, you are the most capable, okay?" said Chen's mother.
"Thank you for the compliment, mother. I will accept it." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Mother Chen laughed and scolded: "You are so old, but you are still like a child."
"No matter how old I am, I am still a child to you, mother," said Chen Rou.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "I went to your fourth sister's place yesterday, and she said she would be moving to the city next year?"
"She could have come in earlier. She can wear nice clothes in the future. I sent her a set last time, but she refused to accept it." Chen Rou said.
The last time Han Guobin came back, she took advantage of his holiday to let him go over to look after the shop, and she took the rare time to go back to her parents' home.
Naturally, she also went to her fourth sister's place, but her fourth sister did not accept it because she had to work and could not wear such clothes.
"Your fourth sister has a strong personality. She just doesn't want to trouble you too much. Now that she has saved enough capital to do business, she is willing to come to the city to learn how to do business from you." said Chen's mother.
"She's just making trouble. What's wrong with her borrowing it first? My money is just there, and I'm not afraid that she won't pay it back." Chen Rou said.
In the past few years, her fourth sister has been raising pigs and chickens in the village, and her brother-in-law has been doing farm work. As for brothers An, An and Wu, they are both in college and will graduate next year.
The school gives subsidies, so the expenses are not much, but they are both boys and eat a lot, so Chen Sijie and An Dabang are under a lot of pressure.
So that year, Nati has not entered the city until this year.
Mother Chen hesitated and said, "From what I heard from your fourth sister, she really plans to go to the city to make dumplings. Rourou, do you think cooking dumplings is really a good idea?"
"What's wrong with that? My bun shop makes a lot of money every month. Just do that in the morning." Chen Rou said, "Mom, don't worry about it. You will know when my sister and brother-in-law come."
Mother Chen whispered, "I heard that your third uncle and your third brother's wife's family have moved into the city?"
"Where did you hear this, mom?" Chen Rou asked her after she went out to weigh the items for the customer, collected the money.
"I heard from the third daughter-in-law of my aunt that her hometown is in your village," said Chen's mother.
"Yes, they have all moved in." Chen Rou nodded.
"You've been in the city for quite some time, what do you do for a living?" said Chen's mother.
"Qiu Shou has gone back to help. He probably hasn't figured out what he's going to do for a living yet." Chen Rou said.
"I don't think they are very reliable. You'd better not get involved with them," Chen's mother warned.
"Then I dare not." Chen Rou said, and told her that her third brother's wife was actually willing to acquire the factory.
Chen's mother said angrily, "She wants to support the sky with her own hands. She has never even run a small business, and she wants to contract a factory? Does she know how much it costs to contract a factory?"
"Money alone is not enough. Human resources management, factory operations, and development direction all require initial investment," said Chen Rou.
She doesn't have as lofty ideals as Song Xiaoyu. She just wants to be content with a small fortune.
Her family owns three shops in the county town, two of which are open and the remaining one has not yet opened. However, the profits from these two shops are already to her satisfaction.
The remaining shop is in a good location, so just keep it, no worries.
Chen Rou really had no intention of opening a factory or doing something big. She just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.
"Don't borrow money if you want to. I don't think it's reliable." said Chen's mother.
"If you want to borrow, you have to have money to borrow. You know how much Guobin spends money. Last time, he bought a big color TV at home. You don't know it yet, mom. I'll take you back to see it later. It cost a lot of money." Chen Rou said.
That's the ready-made reason.
As for the fact that the family does not save money, that is normal. Raising four children not only requires taking care of their food, clothing, shelter and urination, but also other expenses.
It doesn’t look like much, but you’ll know once you become the boss.
Besides, the sofa, washing machine, big clock, bicycle and other things in the house are all free of charge.
"You told him to be frugal, so he bought a semiconductor watch for your father, and now he bought one for me," said Chen's mother.
She was wearing a watch on her wrist, but she didn't dare tell anyone else that it was a gift from her son-in-law. She just said she bought it herself, for she was worried that the news would get to the Han family.
But I have to say that although my son-in-law is good at making money, he is also really good at spending money.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "That's nothing. He's doing this to honor his mother-in-law."
In recent years, she has been very grateful to her mother for coming to the city to help her. There was really no other way, as Han Guobin often had to take long-distance bus trips on business and she could not handle it alone.
At that time, the third and fourth children were still young. It was okay in the summer, but in the winter, they had to be brought over early in the morning to do business with her.
Her mother came to take care of her.
The children have grown up in the past two years, so they don't have to trouble their mother anymore.
As for the fact that she supports her parents' family, let them say what they want. How can she control what others say about her?
If her mother-in-law was willing to lend a hand, Chen Rou would not be reluctant to buy her any big items.
Over the years, they only gave me that semiconductor and nothing else.
Chen Rou also heard about that semiconductor from Han Dasao. As for the matter of the rotten eggs, Chen Rou didn't mention it in front of Han Guobin so she didn't know about it, but she remembered it in her heart!
She is biased, but if she doesn't treat her son as a human being, then why should she be polite?
Just be okay, don't think about anything else.
Chen's mother didn't plan to stay long this time, but both Chen Rou and the children insisted on keeping her.
The next day, Chen Sijie and An Dabang came into the city.
Chen's mother and Chen Rou were sleeping in the main house, and the fourth child was called over.
Chen Sijie slept with Chengzi, and as for An Dabang, he slept on the same kang with the two brothers Han Hang and Han Zhou.
The kangs are spacious and big enough for sleeping.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang came here mainly to rent houses and shops.
With the development of the times, the concept of renting is now very popular, and the previous term "borrowing" is no longer used.
When An Dabang went to find her, Chen Sijie came over to the two shops to help her sister and learn from their experience.
"Actually, opening a bun shop is not a bad idea. But if you do it yourself, you have to get up early in the morning. Fourth sister, do you want to consider it?" Chen Rou asked.
"If I do the same as you, then I must open my shop farther away." Sister Chen Si actually had the same idea and said.
"You're late. It's hard to rent a place here now." Chen Rou said. All the shops on these streets were rented out. "Have you confirmed it with my brother-in-law?"
"I was planning to make dumplings, but seeing your bun business, it seems quite easy." Sister Chen Si said, wavering a little.
Her sister told her that if they made more buns and sold them, they could make a profit of two to three hundred yuan a month, especially if the couple worked on their own and didn't hire any workers, the profit would be even higher.
There is visible profit in making buns, but making dumplings is still an uncertain thing, and her sister has never done it.
"It's easy. You can discuss it with your brother-in-law and prepare the other ingredients by yourselves. As for the meat, I'll have someone deliver it to you soon. You can just pick it up at my house when the time comes. We'll discuss the money later." Chen Rou said.
Sister Chen Si said, "This is my first time doing business, and I'm really nervous."
"I heard from mom that you plan to do it next year? Not this year?" Chen Rou said.
"There are only two months left this year." said Sister Chen Si.
"See if my brother-in-law has found a shop. If he has, and the tools are all available, we can start working right away without having to worry about so many things," said Chen Rou.
It was her fourth sister's first time doing business, so she was definitely nervous. She knew that business would not be difficult after entering the city, but she was unsure because she had never done it before, so she set up a stall after entering the city.
Because Fourth Sister Chen came to help, Mother Chen did not come. She was at home taking apart and washing quilts, cotton-padded clothes, etc., and cleaning up everything inside and outside for her.
With her around, Han Hang and the others can eat right away when they come back. With their grandma around, they don't have to worry about anything.
The shop was not difficult to find. An Dabang found several shops willing to rent out in two days. After he looked at them, he went to ask his wife to come and take a look.
Sister Chen Si heard a lot of experience from Chen Rou. The first choice for a shop is to have a good location, and the surrounding environment, the character of the landlord, etc. should all be taken into consideration.
I managed to rent a nice shop very quickly. After that, the next step was to find a house.
Chen Rou's house is spacious, and it's no problem for her to stay there for ten days or half a month. But when Han Guobin comes back, it will definitely not be spacious enough and it won't be convenient.
So Chen Rou didn't try to keep him, and it would be more appropriate to rent a place outside.
While Chen Sijie and An Dabang were looking for a house to rent, Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu also returned from the countryside.
Since Uncle Donkey’s donkey cart was out of stock, he hired a donkey cart from the next village to deliver a lot of food.
Mrs. Han came in the day after the couple went to the city. She brought Chen Rou a lot of dried mushrooms. She didn't sell them but kept them for Chen Rou to eat at home.
Then she complained to Chen Rou: "The old couple was afraid that the four of them would starve, so they moved most of the food from their home here!"
Chen Rou said: "It's their business if they are willing to give."
"It's none of their business. I'm really sick of it. We agreed that the old couple would live with the third wife, and now they just move into the city. If anything happens to them in the future, we will have to take care of them, right?" said Mrs. Han.
This is indeed a problem.
Now Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu have brought their two sons to the county town, and only Brother Han and Sister-in-law Han remain in the village.
If something really happens, can we still expect them to come back from the city to the village to take care of us?
Chen Rou thought it was not very practical.
In the end, isn't it the eldest wife who is to blame? After all, the eldest wife’s sons and grandchildren are all here.
Chen Rou guessed that this was the reason why Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu were so fearless.
"I've figured it out. The couple in the third room insist on having me in the village. But it's true that I'm in the village, but they can't expect me to go over and serve them. I haven't been treated well since I got married. Song Xiaoyu gave birth to two children, and they had eggs and pork for every meal, and the old lady served them personally. I'm not even as good as a single hair on her leg. If Song Xiaoyu doesn't go over to serve her and wants me to go over, that's impossible!" said Mrs. Han.
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Don't get angry at yourself. The villagers know what's going on." Chen Rou said.
"You don't know because you don't live in the village. When that time really comes, what do you think the villagers will say? They will say that the person is so old and doesn't have much time left. Young people should stop worrying about it and just take good care of him!" said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou was not surprised either. There would definitely be many people in the village who would say the same thing by then.
"Yesterday they transported so much grain into the city. I went to the old house and told them that day not to come to me when you are old. I will not call the third wife back to take care of you. When you are old and can't move, I will not go to feed you a single meal!" said Mrs. Han.
She was really furious. In the eyes of the old couple, the third wife was a gold nugget, and the other two wives were nothing but mud!
"The cabinet I made for Tiedan should be finished tomorrow. You can stay here for one night with my fourth sister and Chengzi. When you go back tomorrow, take your uncle's donkey cart and ask him to bring it back to you." Chen Rou said, changing the subject.
Since her eldest nephew Tiedan was getting married, Chen Rou made a cabinet for the young couple. It was a thoughtful gesture and also very practical.
Mrs. Han didn't mention the troubles in the old house anymore. She smiled and said, "It's not necessary. That cabinet is not cheap."
She asked someone to help make one a few years ago. It is very useful and made of good wood. It is still as good as a new one and the craftsmanship is impeccable.
"I don't know if Guobin will be able to make it back in time. Please don't be offended if he can't, sister-in-law." Chen Rou said.
"What's so strange about this? We're busy here, and it will be the same if Han Hang goes back later." Mrs. Han said indifferently.
"Why did I hear from my uncle that you applied for a residential plot for Tiedan?" Chen Rou said.
"Not only Tiedan, but also Ludan has applied." Han Dasao said, "Now they are still young, they can live in the house, and I can help take care of the children. When they are older, I will separate them and let them live on their own. It will be easy for both of us."
I have to say that Mrs. Han is very open-minded about this.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Tiedan's wife is also very lucky to marry you as her daughter-in-law."
Although she has many problems, her sister-in-law is really a kind person.
"I don't expect anything else, just don't make me angry." Mrs. Han said with a smile.
Mrs. Han stayed for one night. When she returned the next day, the cabinet had been delivered to her. It was a cabinet as big as a meter.
"It's too expensive, too expensive." Mrs. Han liked it so much that she kept saying it.
"Tiedan is the eldest grandson of the Han family. It's normal for him to spend some money on his wedding." Chen Rou said with a smile.
She also brought a bag of candy for Baozhu, who was still studying and had no time to come with her mother, and then sent her sister-in-law back.
Miss Han Cheng told her aunt about this before going to school in the morning. When she got home, she told Sister Baozhu that she would come to her house to stay during the winter vacation and watch TV.
Mrs. Han agreed with a smile.
Tiedan's wedding was held in October.
Tiedan is getting married soon. Time flies so fast. He is exactly twenty years old this year.
Han Guobin didn't make it back in time, and Chen Rou was busy with business, so she asked the boss Han Hang to take half a day off to go back.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang also moved out. They moved out the day after Han Dasao came over last time.
After preparing all the tools, the couple started their business. Following Chen Rou's advice, they started making buns. If buns were difficult to make, they could make dumplings instead.
Instead of waiting until next year as originally planned, we started doing it now.
That place is not close to the steamed bun shop here. It takes twenty minutes to ride a bike there.
Chen Rou said, what has her fourth sister done to her?
It's okay even across the street.
After all, doing business is a matter of personal ability. As the saying goes, if her fourth sister doesn't open the business, someone else will.
However, Chen's mother said it was better to stay far away. It was other people's business to open their own business, and it would be more reliable to keep one's own business far away.
Sister Chen Si said that this is the truth.
Chen Rou didn't say much.
Han Guobin came back relatively late this year. He did not come back until the end of October, when the snow was about to fall.
It was already late at night when we arrived at the county town.
According to Li Dayuan's idea, they would spend the night in the provincial capital first. He planned to go to a dark street and book a night at Comfort Inn and come back at night.
However, Han Guobin was not at ease because there was still cargo in the car, so he drove back directly.
Let Li Dayuan get off the car and go back first. He didn’t go back to the Transportation Department immediately, so he drove to the countryside first.
Brother Chen San asked to sell two more oil presses, but this time Han Guobin bought him four.
Brother Chen San came out late at night and was stunned to see so many oil presses: "Why did you buy so many?"
"The work of the Ministry of Transport will be moved to the provincial capital in the future. If I don't go there, I will quit my job. It will not be easy to bring it back in the future. So I'll buy two more. I know you can use them." Han Guobin said.
Brother Chen San chuckled and said, "I can use them. I didn't ask you to buy too much because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get them back, so I didn't ask."
Han Guobin helped him move into the house, and left him an electric fan, saying, "This is for your parents. Save it for next summer."
"Okay." Brother Chen nodded and said, "I'll settle the money after I get to the city."
Han Guobin didn't say anything. There was an electric fan in the car, but he didn't go directly to the village. He drove back to the city.
Just take it home and ask Uncle Donkey to bring it back tomorrow.
When he came back late at night, Chen Rou opened the door for him.
Chen's mother in the next room had woken up, so Chen Rou let her go back to sleep.
"Is Guobin hungry?" asked Chen's mother.
"I ate before coming back. Mom, you should go to bed. It's getting late." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Only then did Chen's mother nod and go into the house first. Chen Rou then took Han Guobin back to the house.
Her sister and brother-in-law moved out, and the children went back to their rooms to sleep, leaving Chen Rou alone in the room.
Although he was not hungry, Chen Rou still made him a bowl of malted milk.
"Why did you bring an electric fan?" Chen Rou asked.
"I went back to my hometown and gave my third brother four oil presses, and my parents also left me an electric fan," said Han Guobin.
Chen Rou understood what he meant immediately: "Then send this one to the old house?"
There is no shortage of them at home. There is one in each of the three rooms, but they are not used. The extra one will definitely be given to the old house.
"Is it okay?" Han Guobin looked at his wife and said.
Chen Rou rolled her eyes at him: "Just give it to me, I can't stop you."
She herself would not give more, but Han Guobin was the son of those old people, and this was an undeniable fact. She would not stop him from giving her anything, as long as it was not too much.
After getting the semiconductor, it was only now that this electric fan was given. There is nothing much to say about that.
She's not that overbearing.
"Wife, you are so nice." Han Guobin was about to hug her.
"Let me boil some water for you to take a bath. How many days have you not taken a bath?" Chen Rou patted him and said.
"No need to take a shower. I'll go to the bathhouse tomorrow." Han Guobin said, and then he brought over his bag, which contained a handbag and a wallet.
The wallet is full of money, about five thousand yuan, all in stacks.
Chen Rou knew that since he came back so late this time, he must have made a profit, so this amount was not too surprising.
"I exchanged the rest of the money for this bag of watches." Han Guobin took the bag and said.
Seeing that he had bought so many watches, Chen Rou looked at him and said, "Are you going to quit?"
"Well, drive the car back tomorrow and prepare for the handover." Han Guobin nodded.
Chen Rou didn't say anything. She put away the money and the bag containing the watch. She asked him to drink the malted milk and then let him go to sleep.
Han Guobin didn't try to hold on, as he was indeed tired. He hugged his wife and fell asleep.
Chen Rou got up early the next day, but closed the door again, allowing him to continue sleeping in the room.
Chen's mother also got up early and started cooking.
Chen Rou said, "Mom, you don't have to get up so early."
"I went to bed early at night and couldn't fall asleep." said Chen's mother.
"Then let Guobin fall asleep. If he hasn't woken up by nine o'clock, call him to get up and eat." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen nodded: "I know, you go and do your thing."
Chen Rou took the electric fan and went out to do her work, and when Uncle Donkey came, she asked him to take it back.
Han Guobin slept until half past one. The children all went to school, and only Chen's mother was left at home watching TV on the sofa.
"Mom, is there any food left?" Han Guobin opened the door and came out yawning.
"Yes, go brush your teeth and I'll heat it up for you." Chen's mother said as she turned off the TV.
She went to heat up the food, and Han Guobin came over to eat after brushing his teeth.
"Why did you take so long this time?" asked Chen's mother, who was sitting next to them.
Han Guobin drank porridge and ate vegetables, saying: "This is the last trip, so I was a bit busy. I'm going to return the car today, and I won't go to work in the future."
"What? You won't go to work anymore?" Chen's mother asked hurriedly.
"The Ministry of Transport is moving to the provincial capital, and I can't go with them, so I quit." Han Guobin nodded.
Mother Chen said regretfully, "There is so much money this month."
Han Guobin smiled and said, "I will run the shop with my wife from now on."
"That's good too." Mother Chen felt sorry, but she didn't feel disappointed for long. She nodded and said, "Why don't you go to the transportation department and go to the grocery store? I saw Rourou wait until after nine o'clock to open the store. She hasn't even started the morning market yet. You can go there earlier if you have time."
Han Guobin nodded. After having breakfast, he came to the transportation department.
When the leader saw him coming to return the car, he asked, "Guo Bin, you really don't want to go with us? The children are already so old, and there will be a lot of expenses in the future. You can't just rely on your wife's shop."
Those who have proper jobs still look down upon self-employed individuals.
Han Guobin shook his head and said, "I won't go there anymore. Life here is still okay."
In fact, he felt a little regretful, but if he went to the provincial capital, he estimated that he would only be able to come back in a week.
If his family really depends on his job, he would choose to continue doing it. After all, being a trader outside is really good.
But his family's financial situation is not bad now, so he has no plans to continue.
As for making money, he has other ways, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
The leader said: "Da Yuan is still following."
Han Guobin also knew that Li Dayuan was planning to continue working in the Ministry of Transport and was also preparing to go to the provincial capital.
When he got over there, Han Guobin felt that something would happen sooner or later.
On his way back, he listened to Li Dayuan's words and advised him to work hard, come back to the provincial capital to have dinner at home during the holidays, and not go out.
But despite the persuasion, Li Dayuan was obviously looking forward to moving to the provincial capital.
He went to live there alone.
What else can Han Guobin say?
"Do you want to buy this truck? If you want, I'll give it to you for one thousand dollars." The leader looked at him and said.
Han Guobin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you give me this truck?"
"Yes." The leader nodded.
When we go to the provincial capital, we will have to buy new cars. These ones are a bit old.
Although it is indeed old, the hardware is all good. How many years has Han Guobin been driving it? How could he not know the performance of this car!
"I'll go back and ask my wife for it, and then go back to my hometown to borrow some!" Han Guobin said immediately.
"Go ahead." The leader waved his hand.
Han Guobin drove straight over to find his wife.
When Chen Rou heard that his transportation department was actually selling cars, she said, "Then buy it. We just happen to be in need of one."
"Wife, I also told my boss that I want to buy it, but the money is not enough." Han Guobin said, and whispered a number.
"When do you want it?" Chen Rou asked.
"I said I'd borrow some from someone. Any time is fine these days," said Han Guobin.
Chen Rou knew there was no need to rush, so she continued to do her business, and Han Guobin also helped her.
After greeting the guests outside, Aunt He came in to ask Han Guobin about the matters at the Transportation Department. She also heard about it from her nephew.
"I won't go to the provincial capital. Dayuan is going, but I didn't ask Zhou Chuan about it." Han Guobin said.
"We are doing well here, why do we want to move to the provincial capital?" said Aunt He.
"The provincial capital is well connected and much more prosperous than our county town. With the speed of social development today, it is indeed better to develop there." Han Guobin told the truth.
Aunt He asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"
"From now on, you can only live off my wife." Han Guobin said with a smile.
Aunt He smiled and said, "You are such a freeloader, but if you quit the transportation department, you can come and look at the grocery store. There are already many customers in the morning, so the store is open early. You have to sell a lot of things."
Although Uncle Donkey delivers supplies every day, the shop still has stocks of eggs, duck eggs and grains harvested in autumn.
We can sell a lot more if we open early in the morning.
Han Guobin nodded. Chen Rou sent him back to eat at noon. Han Guobin brought the food to her after he finished eating, then rode his bicycle with some clothes to change and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.
Although the bathhouse in the county town is not as big as the one in the provincial capital, it is also a good place to take a bath.
When Han Guobin came over, Li Dayuan was also there. He smiled when he saw him: "What a coincidence."
Han Guobin also laughed and said, "We just happen to be in need of someone to scrub my back."
The two of them started chatting while washing.
"When I went there, my leader told me, 'You want to buy the car?'" said Li Dayuan.
"Well, our shop needs a car, and it's not easy to buy the one we have outside." Han Guobin said.
The car used by their Ministry of Transport has some military elements in it. It is a modified car and is very useful.
Li Dayuan looked around and saw that there were not many people coming to take a shower at this time. There were only twos and threes. He whispered, "A thousand yuan is a lot."
"We've asked in the south before, and they say each car costs more than 20,000 yuan," said Han Guobin.
"That's right." Li Dayuan said. They had also asked the truck factory in the south. Although it was brand new,
