Even if you move to the city, you still have to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year.
Not only Chen Rou and Han Guobin, but also Chen Sijie and An Dabang came back from closing their shops.
The second day of the Chinese New Year is the day when the son-in-law brings gifts to the door.
Han Guobin and Chen Rou had breakfast at home and then drove over with their children.
Not only did the people in this village know that the car now belonged to Han Guobin, but Chen Rou's native village also knew about it.
That's so enviable.
Being a millionaire is impressive enough, but the truck driven by the Chen family's son-in-law is worthy of being a millionaire.
I have to say that the little girl of the Chen family has really married into a blessed family. She is destined to enjoy a life of luxury. And look at how many good things she has brought with her.
Han Guobin brought a lot of gifts to the two elders this year.
There are good wine, good tea, good cigarettes, assorted candies and so on.
Chen's father and mother said that there was no need to carry so many things over and it was too expensive, but they were really happy.
I walked into the house to greet my daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.
Chen's parents gave them pocket money, 10 yuan each, and let them go and play.
Father Chen talked with Han Guobin in the main room, mainly talking about the harvest, and also asked his son-in-law about his plans for next year.
Chen Rou and her mother went into the bedroom and took out a red envelope for her mother: "This is a gift from Guo Bin and I. Please accept it, mother."
"You brought so many things here, why do you need a red envelope?" said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou stuffed it into her hand and asked, "Did my third brother and his wife go back to their parents' home?"
"Yes." Mother Chen nodded and said, "Just wait and see. Your third brother will be angered and come back again this year."
Brother Chen San and Sister Chen San went back to their parents' home today.
Even if his mother-in-law is not that good, she is still her mother-in-law after all. She always says that her son-in-law has made a fortune, so he has to bring his wife to visit her.
Show filial piety to those who are due it, but don’t even think about showing filial piety beyond what is due.
But if his mother-in-law knew when to stop, she would not have sucked all the blood of her eldest daughter.
When I knew that my son-in-law had made a fortune and opened his own oil press, I was so excited.
After the enthusiasm was over, she naturally started to complain to her son-in-law about her poverty, how difficult life was at home, how her grandchildren couldn't even afford to go to school, etc.
What kind of person is Brother Chen San? If she wants to yell, just let her yell. After all, he is not the one who is unlucky during the New Year.
This routine has not changed over the years.
Perhaps she could see what kind of temper her son-in-law had, so his mother-in-law came directly over as well.
Borrow money.
I want to renovate the brick house at home and make it more spacious so that we can live in it. After all, I have three brothers-in-law, and it is a bit crowded now.
But why would Brother Chen San lend money? Once the money is in the hands of his mother-in-law, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back.
Naturally, he also said he had no money.
Then during the Chinese New Year, his mother-in-law told him to leave, and he came back last year.
Chen Sansao couldn't keep him. He went back first, and Chen Sansao came back later. They had a meal there.
When he came back, Brother Chen rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arms were covered with bruises. He gave his useless wife a look of contempt and wiped them with medicated wine without saying anything else.
When she goes back to her parents' home this year, Chen's mother also feels that with the same result, she will definitely come back first.
But when the third daughter-in-law wanted to go back, Chen's mother did not stop her. She was not afraid of being pinched or beaten. She just wanted to go back, and the better to go back as often as possible. She realized that her husband's family was simply a paradise.
So no one stopped us.
As expected, this year Third Brother Chen came back first on his own and met his Fourth Sister's family on the way.
"Third uncle!" Brothers An and An Wu, who were already grown men, shouted directly.
"Third brother, how come you met us here?" said Chen Sijie.
"I just came back from your third sister-in-law's family." Brother Chen San said, "Let's go home."
Fourth Sister Chen also knew about her third sister-in-law's family affairs, so she didn't ask much. She came here with An Dabang and her two sons.
This time, the Chen family became lively.
After some greetings, the men talked in the main room while the women went into the house and sat on the kang to gather together.
Father Chen was not very satisfied with his son and said, "You went back by yourself last year, and you will go back by yourself this year too."
"Dad, if my father-in-law could support the family like you and not let my mother-in-law do anything reckless, would I come back before I even had time to sit down?" said Brother Chen San.
His father-in-law is simply a Zhou Paopi, asking him openly and secretly how much money he has earned. You have to bring some over as a tribute.
The mother-in-law was even more direct than him and asked for money! If you don’t have money to bring back to my house, don’t eat the food.
Who cares about that!
It is believed that eating the food at her house can make one ascend to heaven.
Brother Chen San went back directly, too lazy to stay there.
As for his wife, he doesn't care. He doesn't want to go back. She only cares about food and not beatings, but she is still so enthusiastic about going to her parents' home. She deserves to be pinched and beaten. She just needs to rub medicated wine on her when she comes back.
Father Chen was kind and said, "He is the elder after all."
"What elder? You think you can interfere with my oil press by relying on your status as an elder? That's wishful thinking!" Brother Chen San snorted.
"What?" Chen's mother heard this as she just came out to get the kettle.
"My mother-in-law wanted my second and third uncles to come over here to help, but I refused. How can I let those two idiots come? My oil press factory can't even be opened." Brother Chen San said.
If it's a good one, Brother Chen San will definitely be happy to lend a hand, and make money to go back and honor their mother, instead of always thinking about getting something from his son-in-law's family.
But what are those two nephews like? You are so lazy and like to eat. What kind of society are we living in now? You still want to eat from the big pot by slacking off like before.
Sooner or later you will starve to death.
Of course, this was what Brother Chen San thought in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud.
But he would not let these two brothers-in-law come over. There was no way. What was the difference between letting them come over and letting his mother-in-law come over? You don't have to do anything, just let her make the decision.
But the oil press factory was not owned by him alone. His brother-in-law also had a share in it. He divided the money and confiscated the four oil presses at the back and became a direct shareholder.
Moreover, we can use his car to harvest goods in the future and split the profits equally. How could Brother Chen San refuse such a partner?
Now Brother Chen San is also a celebrity in the village because he has hired many retired old ladies and old men to come to the yard to peel peanuts.
He also wants children to peel and weigh the peanuts they have peeled. If he is quick, it is not a problem to earn 30 cents a day, and there are also two who can earn 50 cents.
Moreover, the payment for the peeling is made on the same day, so the money can be earned very quickly, which makes the villagers very happy.
Of course, the premise is that you don’t eat or hide anything secretly, otherwise you will not be allowed to come if you are discovered.
There are many little girls in the village who do not go to school and are sent by their families to come here to peel peanuts, so there is no shortage of people on Brother Chen's side.
Although the salary level is low, it is still income after all, and it would be a waste not to make money.
This is a bit far-fetched, but if Brother Chen San opens this oil press, everyone in the village will benefit.
Especially when it comes to the grain harvest here, Chen's father and mother would also help collect it, and then have someone transport it to the city for their youngest daughter.
So when they knew that the Chen family was making money, many people were jealous, but nothing really happened.
After all, the old Chen family is not the old Chen family of the past. The sons-in-law of the old Chen family are all competing with each other for success, especially the young son-in-law. He has connections in the police station, so who would want to offend him? Send him straight to jail!
It has to be said that pulling Han Guogang out of the situation did intimidate a lot of people.
After all, it was a severe crackdown at the time and no one who went in came out, but Han Guogang came out safely.
Of course it was legitimate defense, but if there was no one around, how could we rescue them?
Seeing that her son had not done anything stupid, Chen's mother stopped talking and went into the house to continue chatting with her two daughters.
There is no need to worry about the younger daughter and she doesn’t have to worry about her life. The same goes for the older daughter.
I was a little nervous at first, but now I've calmed down.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang sell buns in the morning and dumplings in the afternoon. They are really working hard.
The original plan was to simply sell buns, but the couple didn't have a second shop like Chen Rou, so they had nothing to do so they started selling dumplings and noodles in the afternoon.
The business was just average at first, but now it’s on the rise and there’s nothing to worry about.
In the words of Chen Sijie: "If I had known it was so easy, I wouldn't have wasted so many years."
The cost of cooking is not that high, so renting a house or a shop is not as much of a cost, especially nowadays when you don’t need a three-payment deposit like in later times.
But since I have never done this before, I always think it is extra complicated and difficult.
Chen Rou said: "The next step is to buy a house and a shop."
"It's still early, no rush." said Sister Chen Si.
"If you don't buy it now, you will regret it later." Chen Rou said to her.
"It's right to listen to your sister. She has lived in the city for a long time. If there is a house, just buy it. It will be stable." said Chen's mother.
Sister Chen nodded and said, "We don't have enough money right now. Let's save some more."
Then I also gave a red envelope to her mother. It might not be as much as what my younger sister gave, but it was a thoughtful gesture after all.
Naturally, Chen's mother would not dislike it and accepted it with a smile.
At noon, we gathered together to eat at a big table, and the whole family had a lively meal.
Chen Rou said to her two nephews, "Now his head is taller than your father, but he is too thin. This braised pork is your grandma's specialty. Eat more."
"We are thin, but we are in good health. You don't have to worry, auntie." An said with a smile.
"You won't get fat no matter how much you eat." An Wu nodded.
But needless to say, the two brothers had great appetites. Mother Chen cooked a lot of food just for them to eat, so they just ate as much as they wanted.
Han Hang and his siblings are also in the growing stage, and they all enjoy eating.
So even though you cook a lot, by the time the meal is over, it’s just right.
In other words, conditions have improved now. If it were in the past, being able to eat until you are 60% full would be considered good.
After eating and drinking, we continued to chat and were not in a hurry to go back.
When Mrs. Chen San came back with the children, it was already late, so they didn't stay any longer.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin, as well as Chen Sijie and An Dabang, all returned with their children.
Mrs. Chen San's eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Brother Chen San.
Brother Chen San basically had an idea of what was going on.
The room was stocked with medicinal liquor for injuries and sprains, so when I got back I asked, "How badly did you get pinched this time?"
Mrs. Chen San showed her waist. When Brother Chen San saw her, his eyes sank. He smiled and said, "Not bad. Your parents really love you and have raised a good daughter. Every year during the Spring Festival, you want to go back and get beaten. You have taught your daughter well."
Mrs. Chen San didn't say anything.
Brother Chen San rubbed her with medicinal wine, but he was too aggressive. Sister Chen San cried out in pain and said, "Be gentle."
"What's the matter? I'm too heavy and my mother is pinching me. How can you bear it?" said Brother Chen San.
Mrs. Chen San said, "You too, you just want your second brother and younger brother to come over..."
Because he just left without leaving any responsibility, her mother strangled her severely.
"Shut up! If you dare to say this in front of mother, I will help you pack your things and let you go back to your mother's home!" said Brother Chen San.
"What will happen to the children if I go back to my parents' home?" Chen Sansao retorted.
"What's the matter? Do you think I can't find a warm bed to be a stepmother for the children?" Brother Chen raised his eyebrows.
Mrs. Chen San originally wanted to retort to him and then use soft words to ask her second brother and younger brother to come over, as her mother had already instructed her to do so. But her face changed when she heard this.
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Chen San asked immediately.
"If you think our family is doing better now and want to bring your mother's family here, then we should break up quickly and you can go back to your beloved mother's home. Otherwise, you should just stay quiet and be a good boss lady. You can choose one of the two options." Brother Chen San said.
"Do you still have any conscience? I have worked like a slave for you for so many years and gave birth to your children..."
"What do you think I mistreat you?" Brother Chen San looked at her and said, "In the past, when our family was not well off, I found a bird's nest outside and cooked eggs. I couldn't bear to eat them myself, so I had to bring them back for you to eat. Did I mistreat you? Did our mother mistreat you too? For so many years, you ate whatever we had at home. How many women in the village had to spend their confinement after childbirth? Even when our family was not well off, didn't your mother let you lie on the kang for ten days or half a month? She never mistreat you with thick porridge, eggs, etc. How dare you say that you were treated like this when you were at your mother's house?"
"But that's my mother's home..."
"So what about your mother's family? Can they interfere in the business of my Chen family? What do they think they are?" Third Brother Chen said bluntly, "I have endured it all these years and have been filial to you every year. Don't think I don't know that you took back all the money you saved. But that is your private money. You can give it to me however you want. I will also take back the New Year gifts during the Chinese New Year. No matter how much other things there are, there is nothing left. For so many years, my son and daughter have not eaten anything from their grandparents. What era is it now? They have to bring their own food when they go there during the Chinese New Year. I feel ashamed for them!"
Brother Chen San doesn't think he is a mean person.
They really had never said anything over the years. He knew that his wife had given all the money she had saved to her parents' home, but he had never said a word.
After all, that was her mother's home, so she could give as much as she wanted. However, although her mother was asked to keep all the big accounts in the family, she also had a lot.
It wasn’t much in the past, only about a dozen or twenty yuan a year, but nowadays, there must be at least 40 or 50 yuan.
Most of the money she saves will be taken back to her parents' home, but it doesn't matter, as her family doesn't expect it.
But has his mother-in-law's family restrained themselves? As her family's conditions improve, her appetite becomes bigger and bigger. Is she treating Old Chen's family as her pocket? If he can't get the money, he'll strangle his wife.
How could Brother Chen San not know?
But he kept it in mind and didn't say anything, because he just wanted to marry this girl because he was itching for sex.
But now she actually wanted to get her brothers from her mother's side over here, and she really listened to her mother. Brother Chen San couldn't hold back the knife in his hand any longer.
We must stop this woman from having such thoughts.
So there are some things that he has never said before, but now he is really impolite.
Mrs. Chen had no idea that he had such strong opinions about her family. She was so embarrassed by what he said that she said, "It's not easy for my parents either..."
"They are none of my business. Are they a family with no descendants or something? Their three sons are just decorations, right? I heard that your eldest sister has been kicked out of the house by your brother-in-law, and lives in that small shabby thatched house in her village. Do you want to learn from her? If you do, I will give you some respect. Now pack up and go back. This is the end of our relationship!" Third Brother Chen snorted coldly.
His brother-in-law has now kicked his sister-in-law out of the house and remarried a widow.
Even her own son and daughter called the widow "mother", but as for "real mother", no one paid any attention to her.
Mrs. Chen's face turned pale. Her sister's life was so miserable now. She said quickly, "I didn't steal money from my family to give to my parents. The money I gave to my parents was all saved by me!"
"What you save is what you save. I just ask you, can you live like this?" asked Brother Chen San.
His business will surely grow bigger in the future, and he will never allow his wife to hold him back. He will definitely give her a break this time, otherwise she will come to make trouble from time to time, which is really annoying!
Although the couple spoke quietly in the room, Chen's mother, who leaned over to eavesdrop, still heard everything.
She didn't listen any further and went back to the room to whisper the matter to her old man.
"It's not decent over there either." Chen's father also knew about the incident with his third daughter-in-law's eldest sister. It had spread throughout the entire village. She was an example of a thief in the husband's family. If people criticized their daughter-in-law for using her husband's family to support her own family, they would drag her out and interrogate her.
She came here last time, but Chen's mother directly sent her third daughter-in-law out and didn't even let her in.
Chen's mother also felt that the relative was really bad, and she didn't understand how she educated her daughter to be so devoted to her parents' home and would not stop until her death.
Needless to say, my two daughters are both filial and brought back a lot of things.
But all this is based on the fact that the family is well-off. She won't spend money on her parents' home without even knowing how to manage her own family. Otherwise, her mother will slap her parents in the face to wake them up.
These things that happened in my mother's family didn't cause any trouble.
Chen Rou heard about it from her mother later. Her mother had nothing to do after the New Year, so she came to the city to live for a while.
After hearing what her third brother did, Chen Rou laughed and said, "Third brother is becoming more and more like a boss now."
She felt that her third brother was born to be a business man.
He will take care of his own family, provided that his own family is also good, and he will also help his brothers, provided that his brothers themselves know what is going on.
But if you don't know, he won't tolerate it.
For example, her eldest brother and second brother. When her third brother asked them to contribute money and work together, the two sisters-in-law disagreed, so they just let it go.
Now that I see it, it's getting better and better, and I want it.
But her third brother didn't give her any leeway and refused. To use the words of later generations, if you ignore me today, you will not be able to reach me tomorrow and I won't play with you anymore!
Doing business has to be done efficiently and without dragging things out, otherwise the group of relatives around you will really drag you down.
For example, something happened at home recently.
Song Xiaoyu planned to introduce her brothers from her natal family to come to the city to sell pork.
Originally, Song Xiaoyu looked down on selling pork, and of course she still looks down on it now, but looking down on selling pork does not mean that she will deny the profits from pork.
Last year, because Han Guolin cut in line, only Han Guobin could get him half a leg of meat. This amount was really not small, and it was not often available. Sometimes there were only a dozen or twenty pounds of meat. After all, he didn't get any share last year.
I can earn about 50 yuan a month, which is equivalent to other people's monthly salary.
This year, the pig farm increased his pork supply, with nearly a hundred kilograms of meat arriving every day. Coupled with the relatively stable supply, his profits were immediately increased.
South Korean Lin Yue earns a lot of money.
So Song Xiaoyu was tempted and wanted to call her third brother who was laid off from her mother's family over.
Without even saying a word, she brought it home and told him to supply pork to her third brother.
Chen Rou found it funny when she thought about it afterwards. Even though she had a good relationship with Mrs. Han, they were always polite to each other. The relationship between her and this third brother's wife was, to put it nicely, that of a sister-in-law, but to put it bluntly, she was not even as good as a rich man's wife.
With such a big face, who gave her the confidence?
Han Guobin was at home at the time. He was probably a little displeased with his third brother's wife's attitude. He didn't give her any face and said directly that he had no more. His favor was enough for Han Guolin this time. If she wanted it, she could go to the slaughterhouse and ask.
Han Guolin’s youngest brother, Han Guobin, actually also has some opinions, but opinions are opinions, and after all, they are still brothers.
But which one is the Song family’s? Does he have to take responsibility too? To put it bluntly, this is like an ox not knowing the bend of its horns, and a horse not knowing the length of its face.
He has a good relationship with Lao Yang, Lao Si, and Monkey, and he is closest to Lao Yang, so it shouldn't be a problem to provide him with more supplies.
But is this how favors are used?
How could Song Xiaoyu, the third brother's wife, have the nerve to assign tasks to him, the second uncle?
So Han Guobin didn't even bother to be polite and told him to go over and ask because he had used up all the favors he had.
Song Xiaoyu was probably humiliated and a little unhappy, but no one paid any attention to her.
Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu are still living with Han Guoli.
I don’t know if Zhang Jiang and Han Guoli have any ideas, but as for their niece Yaoyao, she is really expressing her opinions.
That night, Yaoyao was so angry that she ran over to sleep with Han Cheng. She cried secretly in the middle of the night. Han Cheng heard her in a daze and asked her what was wrong.
Zhang Yaoyao couldn't hold it in any longer and cried, "I should wash my own clothes, but Third Aunt's clothes need me to wash them. Third Aunt has nothing to do all day, and she can't wash them herself!"
Han Cheng knew who it was for, so he let her go to bed early because she had to go to school the next day.
The next day when she returned, Han Cheng told her mother about it.
"Now that Third Uncle has a job and earns a lot every month, it's time for him to rent a house of his own. Sister Yaoyao is fed up with living like this." Han Cheng said.
"What happened yesterday?" Chen Rou asked.
"Sister Yaoyao said that Third Aunt said she was not feeling well and asked Sister Yaoyao to help with the laundry. Sister Yaoyao said she would wash the clothes herself, so Third Aunt scolded her for being ignorant and cried in the middle of the night." Han Cheng sighed, "Although Sister Yaoyao is a pretentious person, she is not so naive as to be so aggrieved." It can be seen how aggrieved she is.
Chen Rou had guessed this would happen. Han Guoli was just asking for trouble.
You can invite them into the city, there won’t be any problem, but the prerequisite is that each family must go their own way.
Han Guoli did not handle the matter clearly, and the third brother and his wife pretended to be confused even though they knew the truth. The final result of this matter was that Han Guoli was unpopular both inside and outside.
But Chen Rou was not worried: "Just wait, your sister Yaoyao is a powerful person, she will not let your third aunt live at home for long."
Chen Rou knows her niece Yaoyao very well. Before dawn, Yaoyao went straight to the old house and asked her grandmother to come over!
"Sister Yaoyao invited her grandmother over. Isn't this killing a thousand enemies and hurting a hundred of her own?" Han Cheng was stunned when he found out.
This is a situation where it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away!
Chen Rou laughed: "Let's see how your Third Aunt responds."
How else can Han Guoli respond? She was almost mad at her daughter!
"What's the matter? If my third uncle and aunt can come and live here, then my grandmother can't come and live in her son's house? Grandma, don't be polite. Treat this place as your own home. Of course, this is also your son's home, no different from your own home!" Zhang Yaoyao said this in front of her mother.
Zhang's mother agreed repeatedly. Her life had been miserable over the years.
She has not received any of the money she has given to her mother's family over the years, and her eldest son's and second son's families have not moved in yet and are still living there.
But over the years, Zhang's mother has had no say at all. Although she is not starving, her status is far different from that of the old lady in charge.
The old couple even had to wash their own clothes, and she was not given any salary from Zhang's father, so she did not have a penny in her pocket.
His later years were miserable.
Now that face looks particularly sour, and if you don’t know her, you might think she is an old witch who eats children.
When Han Guoli faced her, her face turned extremely dark.
Song Xiaoyu was even more so. She glanced at Zhang Yaoyao and said, "Yaoyao, when you were a child, your mother sent you back to your mother's home. The family never treated you badly with eggs or anything like that."
"What you said, Third Auntie, is that what I eat is my grandma's food. My parents go home every year and bring back anything good they have. They haven't treated my grandparents badly at all," said Zhang Yaoyao.
"Aunt-in-law, if you have anything to say, just come and tell me directly. Don't glare at my granddaughter like that." Zhang's mother said.
"Aunt, there is really no room in this house now. Yaoyao is ignorant, so we asked you to come here, but there is really nothing we can do." Song Xiaoyu looked at her and said.
"What do you mean there's no other way? Just let Haohao sleep on the floor, and Yaoyao and I can sleep there, right?" said Zhang's mother.
Of course Han Guoli didn't agree: "Mom, there's plenty of room at home, and Dad needs you to take care of him, so you should just go back home and live there!"
"What's the matter? I haven't come to live here for so many years. Now I want to come and stay for two days, but you don't agree? Is this still my son's home? It's fine for your own family to come and stay for such a long time. But you want to drive me away when I, Zhang Jiang's biological mother, want to come and stay for two days?" said Zhang's mother.
Han Guoli was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Then Zhang's mother stayed there. In the evening, Han Guoli naturally told Zhang Jiang about this and asked him to get his mother away as soon as possible.
"That's my biological mother, why can't she live with me?" Zhang Jiang asked back.
Han Guoli was stunned and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you know what kind of person your mother is?"
"No matter what my mother is like, she is still my mother." Zhang Jiang said directly.
Han Guoli was so angry that she cried, but Zhang Jiang ignored her and went straight to sleep on his own.
Is it only my daughter who is annoying? Zhang Jiang is annoying too!
It's okay to come and live here for a while. I had nothing to do and no income before, so I have to save some money. It's okay to continue living here.
But now my second uncle has found such a good job and has a stable income, but he still continues to live here. Does he plan to live there for the rest of his life?
Zhang Jiang didn’t have any objections in the short term. Who among relatives doesn’t need a hand sometimes? When his family was in trouble, it was his second uncle who always helped.
But this is not his second uncle, and it seems like it will never end. How can Zhang Jiang bear it?
In the middle of summer, he can go shirtless at home, but with his aunt around, he has to be careful!
Zhang Jiang was getting impatient. Now that his mother came to live with him, she could just stay. One more isn't too many, and one more isn't too few!
The couple sleeps in the same bed but has different dreams.
The next morning, when Chen Rou came to the bun shop, she saw that Han Guoli's eyes were still a little red and swollen.
This is obviously crying.
However, Chen Rou didn't say a word. Just do the job for her and don't worry too much about other matters.
But Han Guoli couldn't help but complain to her: "This damn girl Yaoyao is getting more and more angry with me. When she's not happy, she just brings her grandmother to live with us!"
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I watched Yaoyao grow up, I know what she is like."
"What kind of person is her grandmother? How can we bring someone like that home? I'll have to be on guard against thieves in my house from now on!" Han Guoli said.
"Just make the dumplings well, and go back early after you're done." Chen Rou said.
I won’t say anything else.
It is true that Han Guoli had good intentions to help her brothers from her natal family, but she did not understand the personalities of her younger brother and his wife.
From the beginning, Chen Rou felt that she was wrong in letting him live at home.
The current conflicts are also caused by the original decision. Let’s deal with them slowly.
Chen Rou has been living a more comfortable life recently.
Her mother went home. After all, there was a lot of things to do at home. There were so many oil presses. Starting this year, her father no longer went to farm and directly divided the land among his eldest and second brothers.
He stayed at home to help manage the oil press.
Because Han Guobin harvested enough peanuts and soybeans, a lot of oil was produced every day.
Chen Rou's grain and oil shop is run by Tiedan and Tiedan's wife. Tiedan's wife is pregnant and is now more than four months pregnant. This should be because she became pregnant shortly after they got married last year.
The couple rented a house, cooked their own meals and ran the shop, earning a hundred yuan a month.
There was no discrepancy in the money in the account book, and Chen Rou was very satisfied. Whenever there was chicken soup at home, she would scoop some out and ask her second son to send it over to her for a good meal.
Donkey Egg went to take the driving test after the New Year. Han Guobin now drives Donkey Egg for 60 yuan a month, and he works with his second uncle to drive and collect goods.
Chen Rou saw Han Guobin coming back that day, with a tired look between her eyebrows, and said: "See if there are other good materials, train two more, and let them collect them later."
"It's not that easy to find people." Han Guobin said.
"I think the eldest son of Dagui's wife, Gou Zi, is a good one." Chen Rou said.
It is said that the country people are really not particular about naming. The eldest son of Dagui's wife is called Gouzi. Of course, he has a real name, Huang Fen, but everyone is used to calling him that, so they just call him Gouzi.
Tiedan and Ludan also have big names, but we’re used to calling them that.
"Gouzi is not good enough because he has no education. I need someone who has education." Han Guobin said.
Han Guobin also felt that he was a little weak after entering his forties. He was already forty years old this year, so he hired two young men in their early twenties who were from the city.
Han Guobin looked good, so I taught him how to drive. After that, they took the test for the license. They had to pay for the test themselves. He was a good driver, so how could he possibly pay for the test?
Including his nephew Donkey, everyone has to pay for it themselves.
After taking the certification test and taking it out a few times, Donkey Egg and the two new employees were asked to go and receive the goods.
The boss Han Guobin has some free time now.
He comes to the grocery store early every day to do business, goes out with his wife, and then comes home together.
It's already June.
"Wife, why do I feel our life is so comfortable?" Han Guobin said contentedly as he lay with his wife that night, enjoying the sight of a fan.
"Just relax, that's enough. If you don't feel comfortable, find me something to do." Chen Rou scolded with a smile.
"What could happen to our family?" Han Guobin said while hugging her.
It is a relief for a man to marry a wife who knows what she is doing. He doesn't have to worry about anything because she can take care of everything. He doesn't have to worry about these trivial household matters.
"Get out of the way. I haven't settled the bill for today." Chen Rou patted him.
Just when we were about to settle the account, this rough guy pushed us onto the kang.
"It's getting late. We can figure it out tomorrow." Han Guobin held her tightly.
Chen Rou hit him lightly, and the couple started to quarrel on the kang, not looking like people who were ten years old in total.
The next morning, Chen Rou put the account book aside and saved it for when she came back in the evening.
Han Guoli looked haggard. Until now, the family affairs have not been sorted out. Song Xiaoyu and his wife have not moved out yet, and Zhang's mother also lives there.
The originally peaceful family of four now seems like a battlefield.
Chen Rou didn't pay much attention to it. As she said before, just wrap the buns for her. She wouldn't interfere with other household chores, and she had no right to do so.
But today someone came to see me unexpectedly.
Xu Yumei, who has not been seen for a long time, is here.
Chen Rou didn't really want to see her, so she pretended not to see her when she saw her. But it was obvious that she had come here on purpose, so she just said hello: "Sister-in-law, have you had breakfast? Do you want two buns?"
"I've eaten. Are you free, sister-in-law? I have something to talk to you about." Xu Yumei said politely.
What else could it be? Chen Rou knew it without even asking.
However, Chen Rou told Han Guolisheng about it, and she still came out and talked to the side.
Sure enough, it was the same thing again. Xu Yumei asked, "Has Guobin driven to the provincial capital recently?"
"I'm busy here now, so I haven't been there for a long time." Chen Rou said.
Xu Yumei said, "I don't know what's going on with Dayuan. He hasn't been back for a long time. He only came back once this month. What do you think he's been busy with?"
"The Transportation Department probably has to go on business trips all the time." Chen Rou said.
She heard about it from her husband Guobin, and she also felt that what Li Dayuan did was inhumane, but did she dare to tell Xu Yumei about this?
She didn't dare.
Xu Yumei said: "I suspect Dayuan must be in trouble outside!"
Chen Rou said, "Guo Bin is no longer with the car, and he hasn't met up with his old colleagues for a long time. Why don't you ask other people?"
"I don't know where the others are." Xu Yumei said.
Chen Rouxin said I’m not familiar with you either.
Xu Yumei actually knew Zhou Chuan’s wife. Zhou Chuan was Aunt He’s nephew and also worked in the Ministry of Transport.
However, Zhou Chuan's wife and Xu Yumei are of the same kind, but they did not become friends and even looked down on each other.
Compared to Zhou Chuan's wife, Xu Yumei wanted to come over and ask Chen Rou for some information, but now there was really nothing she could get from Chen Rou.
Although I couldn't find out anything before.
So Xu Yumei came to find Zhou Chuan's wife, but there was no way she could find her.
Zhou Chuan's wife and she used to dislike each other, but maybe it was because their husbands had both gone to the provincial capital that they could now talk to each other.
Of course the key point is that Zhou Chuan’s wife was also muttering in her heart.
Now I heard that Li Dayuan will come back once a month, how can I not have some thoughts in my mind?
Xu Yumei heard the most from her mother's family, so she told Zhou Chuan's wife, "Nowadays, they make a lot of money doing this. If they raise a baby outside, how can we in the county know about it?"
"Impossible, Zhou Chuan would never dare to do anything to let me down!" Zhou Chuan's wife murmured in her heart, but still said firmly.
"You can just put on your pants and say that nothing happened. He comes back twice a month. I'm really sorry, how could you know about that?" Xu Yumei said.
"What should we do? Those things outside are not very clean. We must not let any diseases be transmitted!" Zhou Chuan's wife couldn't help but say.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yumei
