In July, the children have their summer vacation.
The eldest student, Han Hang, still has to take extra classes. It is not easy to be an excellent student. Now the students are narrowed down to the top ten in the grade and need extra classes. They are only given a few days off from the summer vacation to a few days before school starts.
Academic work is very important.
But the school was thoughtful and distributed bags of milk powder for the children to take home and drink, which could be considered as a nutritional supplement.
Korean Air needs to make up for the missed lessons, but the other three don’t.
Brothers Han Zhou and Han Qifan immediately expressed their desire to return to their hometown.
What are you going back for? Of course it’s swimming.
The river in the village is a good place for adults and children in the village to bathe and swim. Every evening, it is full of people. After a day of farm work, they are so tired that they just squat there.
Of course, they were all men, and the women naturally didn't go.
Han Guobin used to go there often, but rarely took a bath at home in summer.
Chen Rou had no objection, but she warned the two brothers to be careful. If they did anything wrong and she heard it, they would never be able to go back.
The two brothers agreed immediately.
Although there are grandparents in the village, they are almost irrelevant and cannot be relied upon.
The two brothers went to their uncle and aunt's house to eat and live.
Chen Rou asked Uncle Donkey to take five pounds of eggs, but not any food. She asked Uncle Donkey to bring her niece Han Baozhu to the city.
The two brothers Han Zhou went to the countryside, so Han Cheng stayed at home to help. Zhang Yaoyao was also there, and Han Baozhu also came over, so the three sisters were having a great time.
Brothers Han Si and Han Bo also come here every day. They don’t go back to the countryside because there is no TV there. They prefer to come to their second uncle’s house to watch TV.
Now is the summer harvest season, and the wheat harvest is abundant. Ludan and the other two employees are very busy.
Collecting grain and transporting grain and oil is their daily work. They will take turns to have holidays every Sunday, and will not be given holidays at other times. However, they will be given an extra ten yuan food allowance on top of their salary every month.
After harvesting grain and planting corn, it is a rare opportunity to have some free time during the summer harvest.
Mrs. Han came into the city on the donkey cart that day. She came in quite early and Chen Rou's steamed bun shop had not yet finished its business.
Han Guobin was guarding the grocery store. He had just weighed thirty kilograms of wheat for a customer, and the customer left with the sack. When he raised his head, he saw the donkey cart coming and also saw Mrs. Han.
Han Guobin smiled and said, "How come sister-in-law has time to come over?"
"It's a rare moment of free time, so let's go into the city for some fresh air today." Mrs. Han said with a smile. She also carried a basket of eggs to bring in for Tiedan's wife.
My belly is not small now. It is more than seven months old and the baby is due in more than a month.
Mrs. Han didn't stay here for long, as Chen Rou's bun shop was almost done. She left the shop to Aunt Han Guolihe to clean up, and she came over with a bag of money.
Seeing Sister-in-law Han coming over, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, did you bring some delicious food for Tiedan's wife?"
"There's nothing else she wants. If she wants eggs, just give her a basket," said Mrs. Han.
"How can Tiedan not have a wife?" Chen Rou said with a smile. She handed the purse to Han Guobin, washed a tomato for Han Dasao, and said, "Do you want Tiedan to give birth in the city or take him back to the countryside?"
"Take her back to the countryside to give birth. The old midwife is still here. Her skills are unmatched by those in the hospital. Besides, it will be convenient for me to take care of her during the confinement period. No one here has time to take care of her." said Mrs. Han.
The old midwife in the village is the one who delivers all the children in the village. She delivered all four of Chen Rou’s babies.
When she went back home for the Chinese New Year, Chen Rou gave the old man a red envelope, and the old man was so happy that he kept praising him, saying that Guo Bin was a lucky boy to have married such a good wife.
Chen Rou had no objection. The old midwife had been delivering babies for her entire life and had a lot of experience. She had talked about it with Zhou Zhen and Sister-in-law Han during the last Chinese New Year, and she had also heard about it.
There was a woman in the neighboring village who had trouble giving birth, so they invited her over. She straightened the fetal position, ensuring a smooth delivery and the safety of both mother and child.
There is really no problem in letting her go and deliver the baby for Tiedan's wife, and it would be convenient to take care of her if she returns to the village.
"Now that we have family planning, let's just have this one. If it's a daughter, you have to treat her equally, sister-in-law." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"My daughter is also my granddaughter. How can I treat her badly? I am not like those people who treat their sons like nothing. Of course, it would be better if I could give birth to a son this time." Mrs. Han said. She felt that her thinking was quite progressive. For example, she had never treated her daughter Baozhu badly since she was a child. If she had the ability to get into university in the future, she would still support her!
Chen Rou smiled and stopped worrying about it.
After chatting here for a while, Mrs. Han came over to the grain and oil shop.
Tiedan and his wife are both here. At this time of year, there is a lot of new grain, and there are many people buying oil and grain.
Tiedan is responsible for weighing things, while his wife is in charge of collecting the money. They are both very experienced in this business and are not panic-stricken at all.
Mrs. Han was very satisfied with what she saw, and waited until the couple had almost finished their work before she called on her.
"I brought a basket of eggs for you from the old house. Keep them and I'll come back to pick you up next month," said Mrs. Han.
"Mom, you and Dad can just keep it for yourselves. We have some here. Last time, my second aunt asked Uncle Hang to send me two kilograms." Tiedan's wife said.
"Your second aunt is also taking care of you, so you have to leave the shop to your second aunt." said Mrs. Han.
"That's for sure, mom, you don't have to worry." Tiedan's wife said with a smile.
Only after entering the city did I realize how good life is there. No wonder everyone envies city people.
Although her treatment in the countryside was not bad, it was far from what she received in the city. She earned 100 yuan a month, and took 60 yuan home, and paid 5 yuan in rent. The house they rented was relatively small, after all, there were only two of them. Moreover, they only went home to cook and sleep during the day, and had to stay in the shop at other times. It was enough for them to have a place to sleep.
The rest of the expenses are spent on food for the couple, and spending thirty yuan a month is considered a luxury.
But he can still save five dollars a month for himself, so how could Tiedan’s wife be dissatisfied?
My mother-in-law also said that they would save the money they brought home to build a house, and she also applied for a piece of land for them.
Tiedan's wife doesn't want to lose such a good life. She spends more than an hour taking inventory and keeping accounts before closing the shop every day, trying not to make mistakes.
Once, three cents was short, and no one knew if it was a wrong change, so Tiedan’s wife paid the difference herself. She was so upset that she couldn’t sleep well that night. From then on, she calculated the money carefully before giving it out.
Mrs. Han didn't continue to repeat the same old tune, just keep it in mind.
Seeing that they were still busy, they left the eggs and came back to the grocery store.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin were both there. Sister Han said, "I just went over and heard Tiedan's wife say that you gave her two kilograms of eggs some time ago."
"No matter how hard it is, Tiedan's wife calls me second aunt, how can I be reluctant to give away even two kilograms of eggs?" Chen Rou laughed.
"Let them live on their own. We don't even have enough eggs left to sell." said Mrs. Han.
Chen Rou turned around and asked, "Did those two brats mess around in the river?"
"Don't worry about that. We'll just watch them. They won't go there until the evening, when your eldest brother will go take a bath. They all go out to herd sheep during the day," said Mrs. Han.
"Herding sheep? Who in our village raises sheep?" Chen Rou asked.
"Uncle Guoming and Lihua." Han's eldest sister-in-law said, "The couple raised more than ten sheep this year, and also three donkeys. When I drove them out, the two brothers followed me and asked for goat milk to make it for me to drink."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "That brat Lao Si has been pestering me to buy a donkey." She added, "I didn't hear Lihua tell me about it when I went back home for the New Year. How come he suddenly got one?"
"I brought it back at the beginning of this spring. You asked me to come in and ask you if you would accept it?" asked Mrs. Han.
"Sure. When the time comes, we can add a mutton stall here and ask Guobin to sell mutton." Chen Rou looked at Han Guobin and said.
"I won't sell it. We can just buy some food to eat when the time comes. Let the third brother sell it." Han Guobin said.
"What's the matter, second uncle? Do you think this little money is not worth your attention now?" said Mrs. Han.
"It's not that I don't like them. When the time comes, Tiedan and the others will also send a lot of ducks from Lao He's family and chickens from Gao Zheng's family. I'm too busy here, so give them to the third brother. He won't have enough pork to sell by then." Han Guobin said.
The ducks from Old He's family in the village will be shipped here in due time, as well as those from Gao Zheng's family.
Gao Zheng is raising chickens now, but not many. His mother has fenced off a piece of land outside the house and raises more than a hundred chickens. They sell eggs before the New Year and chickens at the end of the year.
Gao Zheng, his father and his wife were busy working in the fields.
With the concerted efforts of the family, Gao Zheng's family moved into a brick house in just a few years, which is very bright.
Han Guobin and Gao Zheng have a very good relationship, and Gao Zheng always comes to visit during the Chinese New Year.
So, when it comes to the end of the year, every household has to prepare New Year's goods, and his grocery store will also collect a lot of chickens and ducks, but no mutton.
Mrs. Han nodded, and then asked, "How is Third Uncle doing now?"
"Very good." Chen Rou said.
Mrs. Han asked again, "Have you moved out of Third Aunt's house?"
Chen Rou smiled and said, "I moved out a while ago."
Mrs. Han curled her lips and said, "Let's calculate. We've lived here for almost a year, right?"
"It's almost the New Year." Chen Rou said. Just two months away, it would be the New Year.
"I've never seen anything like this either. If it were me, I'd chase them away with a broom!" Han's eldest sister-in-law said angrily, "It's fine if they just live there, but they're making money but still don't move out. The whole family is still living there, and this is just causing a quarrel between Third Aunt and Third Uncle-in-law."
Every relative has a time when they need to lend a hand, but if you cling to them like a leech and won't let go, then you are becoming very annoying. It's best not to ask for help from others in your next life, otherwise, you'll have to wait and see who will lend a hand again.
When she went back home for the New Year, Mrs. Han asked Chen Rou about it, but she didn't expect it to be delayed until now.
This is not the case even after the brothers split up, let alone when the sister-in-law married out.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Now that we've moved out, we can each live our own lives."
But because of this incident, the two families only have a little bit of affection left, and both of them have some resentment in their hearts.
After staying for a while, Mrs. Han went back in Uncle Donkey's donkey cart. Uncle Donkey wanted to keep her for dinner, but Mrs. Han refused and went home to cook.
The summer vacation is undoubtedly hot, isn’t this the hottest time of the year?
Han Baozhu, who had come to the city, sipped ice cream with her two sisters, fanned themselves with air, and watched TV. She said, "I really envy you guys. Your life is so good."
"Wait until you come to the city to study." Han Cheng said.
"My mother will definitely not allow me. Now that my brother and sister-in-law have all moved to the city, there's no one to do the housework. I have to go home after school to help, otherwise she will be too busy." Han Baozhu said.
"That's true." Han Cheng didn't say anything. She also had to go to the shop to help her parents.
"If you have a high score, you can pass the exam and your aunt won't stop you." Zhang Yaoyao said.
The brothers Han Si and Han Bo came over and saw them sipping ice cream. They said, "How come you are so rich?" They can eat ice cream every day.
"Having money has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yaoyao snorted at them.
"I saved it. I've spent almost all the money I saved." Han Baozhu said.
"I still have some left." Han Cheng said with a smile, "Let Sister Yaoyao treat you from now on. She has the most money in her coffers."
"It's all flat, how can it be full? The fourth brother borrowed some money from me when he returned to his hometown and bought a lot of snacks." Zhang Yaoyao said.
"Why did you lend it to him?" Han Cheng said.
"When he and Brother Zhou go back to their hometown, they must buy some things to entertain their friends, otherwise how can it be so impressive?" Zhang Yaoyao said.
"Just go back to being a loach, what's the point of being so proud?" Han Baozhu said.
"That's right." Han Cheng agreed.
The two brothers Han Si and Han Bo had nothing to eat, but they still watched TV with the fans on.
When Chen Rou came back to cook, she met her eldest son on the way.
Han Hang said: "Mom, why don't you hold an umbrella?"
Chen Rou was riding a bicycle and said with a smile, "It's only a few steps away. Get on. Mom will take you back."
Korean Air got on board.
The mother and son went home together. Seeing the children so leisurely, Chen Rou said, "Come over here, peel potatoes and pick vegetables."
"It's already this late. I should go back to cook. Second aunt, I'll go back first." Zhang Yaoyao said when she saw that it was already ten o'clock.
"Go ahead." Chen Rou nodded.
Han Cheng and Baozhu came over to pick vegetables for Xiaotudou. Han Si saw that Han Hang just came back at this time and said with a smile: "Brother Hang, you are back."
His cousin is really amazing. No one can shake his position as the top student in the grade since he started high school last year.
Even in the joint examination, I made it into the top ten. I was ranked sixth in the first joint examination, but fifth in the second.
In the joint examination last semester, we had already broken into the top three. There was no regression, only improvement.
I heard that his study materials were selected by the principal himself from the provincial capital. He is the principal's hope and a true academic master in their grade.
He is tall and handsome, and can play basketball. I heard that many girls have a crush on him, and many of them even write love letters to him. I am so envious of him.
"Have you read the information given to you?" Han Hang asked.
"I read it, but I didn't understand some of it." Han Si said.
"I have half an hour." Han Hang said.
Han Si was not polite and immediately told him which question it was.
Although Han Si's grades were not as good as his cousin's, his grades in the class were also very good, among the top 20. He performed quite well last time and made it into the top 15. He is now ranked in the top 90 in the grade, which is considered very strong.
But his mother found out and scolded him.
Do you still have the nerve to say you are strong? Look at Han Hang, he is only a few months older than you and you went to school in the same year. He is ranked first in the grade. The principal even went to his home and told his parents that they must provide him with a good learning environment. This child must be nurtured and he will become a talented person in the future.
This incident happened in May this year.
The county principal's surname is Zhu. Principal Zhu came to the school personally with the class teachers. In that joint examination of all schools, Han Hang made it into the top three, which shocked Principal Zhu.
That joint examination was a joint examination for all regions, and all the students were top-notch students, but Han Hang still made it into the top three.
In the past, it was considered great if one could make it into the top ten, but now that one has made it into the top three, how could Principal Zhu not take it seriously?
The day after he brought the Korean flight director to visit his home, he went to the provincial capital in person to select information.
It was free, the school paid for it. I brought back more than a dozen learning supplies and materials for Han Hang, and also called his old classmates in Beijing and got a lot of test papers from there for him to do.
The neighbors around also had high school students in the same grade as Han Hang. As parents, they also knew Principal Zhu, so they asked around and found out that the son of this self-employed family was so good at studying!
Because Han Guobin and Chen Rou are too low-key, even their neighbors don’t know that Han Hang was the top scorer in the county exam last year.
But this year the news spread, and Principal Zhu came to visit our home in person, so we couldn't keep a low profile any more.
Han Guolin was sitting at home at the time. After he went back, he told Song Xiaoyu, Han Guoli and the others about it. Then they also knew that Principal Zhu had come to visit their home in person.
Then, Han Si's results, which Song Xiaoyu thought were pretty good, could only be described as terrible.
Han Si was also annoyed by his mother's point. He was not the only one who could not compare to his brother Hang. All the students in the same grade were surpassed by him. It was not shameful for him, okay?
He is made to act as if he is so stupid, but he is a well-known figure in the class.
But privately, he would also come to ask Brother Hang for advice, asking him some math questions, and he would gain a lot.
Han Hang explained the question to him and then went into the house to read his book.
Seeing that it was about time, the two brothers Han Si and Han Bo went home.
Song Xiaoyu was very dissatisfied when she saw the two brothers coming back. She said, "Han Hang is still taking tutoring classes every day. You two brothers have such poor grades, but you are so relaxed and don't have any pressure at all. How are you going to get good grades in the future? How are you going to get into a good university?"
"I'll just go ask Brother Hang about the exercises, okay?" Han Si couldn't help but say.
"How dare you say that? He is the top student in the grade, and you are just in the top 100. Are you still so proud of yourself? Why don't you teach him the exercises instead of him teaching you?" Song Xiaoyu lectured.
Every day, nothing goes as planned. I can't compete with other men, and I'm not as good as my sons!
Han Si lowered his head and said nothing.
Han Bo said, "Mom, please stop comparing us with Brother Hang and the others. What's there to compare? There are so many people in the school. How can we compare with them all?"
Song Xiaoyu scolded, "You guys are useless and you think you are right, right? You just watch TV all day long. Is TV that good?"
"Of course the TV is good. If we had one at home, my brother and I wouldn't have to run over there. Will you buy it for us?" Han Bo said.
Song Xiaoyu almost cried out of anger. A black and white TV costs 700 yuan, and a color TV costs more than a thousand yuan. Her family could buy them, but it would bankrupt them.
Just for a TV? Of course the TV is precious, but Song Xiaoyu is reluctant to buy it!
"If your father hadn't been such a loser, he would have just opened a meat stall. Would our family have to live in such a tight situation? If he had been like your second uncle..."
"Don't always talk about my dad. It's not easy for my dad to be busy outside every day, and I've never heard him complain. But you, mom, stay at home every day, and I hear you complain about this and that every day. My dad hasn't even said why you don't be as capable as the Second Empress and open your own shop!" Han Bo said.
"Speak less." Han Si pulled his brother and said.
"I'm saying, she makes trouble at home every day, being dissatisfied with this and that, and comparing us guys with this and that. Why doesn't she compare herself with others?" Han Bo said.
"I'm going to beat you to death!" Song Xiaoyu was so angry that she kept wiping away tears.
"Go ahead and hit me. Since I came into the city, you've beaten and scolded me many times. If you want to hit me, just hit me. Just beat me to death!" Han Bo stood still.
When Han Guolin returned home, he saw Song Xiaoyu crying in the house, Han Si was cooking, and Han Bo was sitting there bored.
"What's wrong?" Han Guolin said.
"Dad, I want to go back to my hometown and live with my grandparents!" Han Bo said directly when he saw him come back.
"Go back, go back, go back quickly. I gave birth to you to scold me and disobey me!" Song Xiaoyu cried and cursed.
"Did you make your mother angry?" Han Guolin looked at him and said.
"Who provokes her? She dares to provoke her. Isn't it her who curses people every day and never lives in peace? I have never seen the Second Queen scolding anyone. Why am I not the Second Queen's son?" Han Bo said.
"Woo..." Song Xiaoyu broke down and cried again.
Being disliked by your own son like this is a bigger blow than any other.
Han Guolin took off his belt, Han Bo ate the belt and ran out crying.
"Second brother!" Han Si glanced at his father and chased after him.
Han Guolin went to cook porridge with a dark face, ignoring the crying Song Xiaoyu. Song Xiaoyu cried for a while but he didn't come to comfort her, so she said, "Guolin, do you dislike me now too?"
"Are you still here?" Han Guolin looked at her and asked.
Song Xiaoyu's face changed, and she asked sternly, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything." Han Guolin turned around and continued to cook porridge, but in his heart he felt that his life was a complete failure.
After cooking some porridge, I ate some with some pickles and then went out.
"Boss Han, this is the two cents I owe you. Thank you for letting me buy it on credit." A woman came over, handed the two cents back to Han Guolin, and said.
"Nothing." Han Guolin took it and said.
"Have you eaten? I just prepared something at home. Do you want to come over for some?" the woman smiled gently.
"I've eaten." Han Guolin smiled at her and left.
The woman looked at his back, then looked at the house, pursed her lips, and turned around to go home.
Chen Rou didn't expect that just as she returned, the two brothers Han Si and Han Bo came over again.
Apparently they hadn't eaten yet, so Chen Rou didn't ask any more questions and said, "There are still steamed buns in the pot. Can I fry some eggs for you two to go with them?"
"Sorry to trouble you, Second Madam." Han Si said embarrassedly.
Chen Rou would make them a plate of scrambled eggs with cucumber. The steamed buns had just been steamed in the afternoon, so there was no need to steam them again. She could just let them eat it as it was.
The two brothers were eating when Han Guolin came over.
The two brothers looked at each other. Han Si called out "Dad", but Han Bo didn't even call out "Dad" and continued to eat his food.
Han Guolin went into the house and sat down, saying to Chen Rou, "Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law."
"It's okay." Chen Rou smiled and poured him a glass of water.
"Second brother is not at home?" Korean Lin said.
"I'm watching over the grocery store now." Chen Rou said. She came back to take a nap, and then she went to take his place and he also leaned on the recliner for a while.
Han Guolin said, "Second sister-in-law, do you have any way to change Xiaoyu's temper?"
Chen Rou looked at him speechlessly: "Uncle San, you must be joking."
Really, they treat her like a deity.
"I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoyu now. She's always looking for trouble and finding fault at home." Han Guolin said.
Chen Rou just listened and didn't say anything. She would just listen to what was going on between the couple, but she definitely wouldn't say a word.
Han Guolin sighed, then came over to the grocery store to talk to his second brother.
Han Guobin: “…”
"It's useless for you to tell me this. I have no experience in this area." Han Guobin said that his wife was very quiet and never got angry, let alone turned her face away from him. Even the children had never seen her really angry. Although they had been beaten with a bamboo stick by her, that was necessary to teach them a lesson.
Han Guolin actually knew what his wife was making a fuss about, and said, "Life is not bad now, why is she not satisfied?"
He makes about 130 to 140 yuan a month from selling meat. Because the supply of meat is sufficient this year, even though the profit is very thin, he still makes a lot every day.
How much does his brother-in-law Zhang Jiang earn per month? This is based on the increase in recent years.
How can he make less than 130 or 40 yuan a month?
Even if his expenses are high, he can always save about 60 or 70 yuan a month. He plans to save up and buy a TV when the time comes.
But his wife just doesn't like everything.
Han Guobin had no way of answering this kind of question, so he said, "Guoming has raised a lot of sheep this year. I asked my sister-in-law to tell her that she will sell his sheep to you, so that you can have more mutton at the meat stall by the end of the year."
"Okay." Han Guolin nodded.
Han Guolin didn't stay long and went back.
Chen Rou came over to the shop after taking a nap and let Han Guobin sleep on the recliner.
Han Guobin leaned back in his chair and said, "It's not easy for the third brother to live this life either."
"It's not easy for him to be like this. Seventy percent of the families in the county have a harder time than him." Chen Rou said.
Although it is already the 1990s, there are still jobs here that pay 40 yuan a month, and 50 yuan a month is enough to support a family of five, but most people earn more than 60 yuan.
And Han Guolin is now making over a hundred dollars a month, so what's so difficult about that?
"The main reason is that my third brother's wife hasn't thought it through." Han Guobin said.
"No one else can talk about this, especially us." Chen Rou would not let him get involved and looked at him.
Song Xiaoyu now has a bit of hatred towards the rich, and anyone can say it, but not her family. Otherwise, she will say, "You have money, so of course you can talk without any pain."
Chen Rouke has never had the habit of warming her arms to please others who refuse her.
So I will just listen to what Han Guolin said, but I will definitely not get involved.
Han Guobin naturally would not get involved and said, "My wife is still the best."
Chen Rou smiled at him and said, "Do you want to see your wife being good, so you go out and bring someone back to bully your wife?"
"That's not true. My feelings for my wife are evident to the heaven and earth and the sun and the moon!" said Han Guobin.
"I don't think you would dare." Chen Rou snorted.
Song Xiaoyu was the first to move last time because it was her sister-in-law Chen Rou who took the lead. But she remembered her and has not come since they moved.
Han Guoli did go there, but Zhang Jiang said to her, "She didn't even pay attention to you, so why did you go there? You acted as if you owed her a lot of money."
"She is unemployed and anxious," said Han Guoli.
"What do you mean no work? I saw Guolin was so busy selling meat in the morning that he had no time to rest. It was Han Si who had to go over to help his father collect money and make change. She didn't even take a step over. She was counting lice at home." Zhang Jiang said.
Han Guoli stopped talking.
"What she earns in a month is equivalent to what I have in two months, and she can often bring meat home to eat. What else do you want with such a life?" Zhang Jiang said unhappily, "Don't go over there. She always gives you the cold shoulder. What do you owe her?"
He knows that his wife is a good one, but he doesn't want anyone to mistreat her. That third aunt-in-law really doesn't know what's going on.
Han Guoli came anyway, mainly to persuade her brother.
But this time when she came over, she saw her brother talking to a woman, and the woman was giving her brother money.
"Sister." Han Guolin called out when he saw her coming.
"Then Boss Han, I'll go back first." said the woman.
Han Guoli nodded, and the woman left. Han Guoli asked, "Who is this?"
"Customer, you live in that alley. I went to buy meat this morning but forgot to pay." Han Guolin said.
This woman is really confused. She always forgets to bring money with her, but she always returns it.
She just isn't living a happy life. She divorced her husband and lives alone with her child.
But why didn't her husband cherish such a gentle woman? He even had affairs with other people and had children with them, and then divorced her and left.
Don't ask him how he knew that. Even if you listen to what the woman said herself, you will find that she is a pitiful woman.
Han Guoli didn't go back to the room with her brother. She just talked to him and asked him to be more considerate of Song Xiaoyu and not to quarrel with her.
Han Guolin said: "I know, sister, you can go back."
Han Guoli had her own stall to run, so she didn't stay any longer.
As the month begins, time flies by and in the blink of an eye, only half a month is left.
The brothers Han Zhou and Han Qifan followed Uncle Donkey's donkey cart back to the city that morning. When the brothers first returned to their hometown, they were still fair and clean, and anyone could tell at first glance that they were children from the city.
After this month, the two brothers really turned into black loaches.
"Hey, second brother, why are you and fourth brother so dark? What were you doing?" Han Cheng said with a smile.
"Sister, you didn't suffer any loss by going to the village this time. We cooked a lot of goat milk to drink!" Han Qifan said.
"Goat milk?" Han Cheng was puzzled: "Where does the goat milk come from?"
"It's from Uncle Guoming's family. They raise a lot of sheep and the wine tastes especially good," said Han Qifan.
"Goat milk smells very bad." Han Cheng didn't believe it.
“If you don’t believe me, ask my second brother. The Empress Dowager cooked it with tea leaves, and it doesn’t smell like any mutton at all. It tastes salty and fragrant.” Han Qifan said.
"It's still not as delicious as milk." Han Zhou said without giving any face.
Han Qifan said disdainfully: "I see you've been drinking quite a bit!"
"Now that you're back, start studying. Review what you need to review and preview what you need to preview." Chen Rou said.
"Mom, Uncle Guoming has three donkeys and sixteen sheep at home!" said Han Qifan.
"Yes, I heard what your empress said." Chen Rou nodded.
"Then mother, when are we going to raise a donkey? You promised me to buy a little donkey." Han Qifan said.
"Don't play tricks. What I said is that I will consider it only if you get 100 points in the exam. And it has to be based entirely on your own abilities. You know your eldest brother, second brother and your sister, they never cheat." Chen Rou said.
"I didn't cheat either." Han Qifan said immediately.
"I know you're not the kind of kid who would cheat. Work hard. I'm looking forward to seeing good grades when school starts this year." Chen Rou said.
"Mom, you said last time that you would buy me new shoes when school starts." Han Laosi couldn't help but say.
"Didn't your third uncle buy it for you? Just wear it anytime." Chen Rou waved her hand.
Han Lao Si refused: "That was bought for me by my third uncle. It has nothing to do with you, mother. It doesn't count."
"I'll change it into fifty cents for you." Chen Rou said.
"No, I want shoes!" said Han Laosi.
"Sixty cents." Chen Rou washed two tomatoes for the two brothers to eat and said with a smile.
"Yuan, yuan at least." Han Laosi looked at his mother and said.
How could I possibly give him one dollar? After some haggling, I gave the guy 70 cents.
Seventy cents is seventy cents, it’s better than nothing, Han Laosi is still quite satisfied.
When the two brothers returned home, the house became lively. Children from the surrounding neighborhood liked to play with them and listen to them bragging about how many cows, sheep, and donkeys they had in the village.
And how comfortable it is to swim in the river, etc.
Chen Bing was very envious. Another little fat boy said, "We have no TV to watch since you guys are not here. Chen Bing is so stingy that he won't even let us in."
Chen Bing was speechless.
"Why are you watching TV? We also have to do our homework. There is so much homework and we haven't finished a single word yet. How are you doing?" Han Zhou asked.
Needless to say, I haven’t written much yet, I’m having so much fun.
Next it’s time to study, I’ve already had enough fun.
But that day, Chen Gongan, who lives next door, had a big fight with his wife Ma Yuling, and they even talked about getting a divorce.
Han Guobin and Chen Rou had just closed their shop and were going home when they saw so many people gathered around talking.
"Chengzi's mother, have you heard that Chen Bing's parents are getting a divorce?" the aunt said in a low voice.
"What divorce? Chen Bing is so old now." Chen Rou said in confusion.
"You just got back and you don't know, but Public Security Chen and Ma Yuling just had a big fight!" said another lady.
"What are you arguing about?" Han Guobin went into the house first, and Chen Rou stayed to find out.
It's not that she has good luck, but living here, you can't be ignorant of what's going on around you, otherwise you may step into other people's restricted areas and offend people without knowing it.
"What else could it be? It's just that Ma Yuling is close to her director, and the rumors have reached Chen Gongan's ears. Chen Gongan can't tolerate that, so he asked her to either resign and find another job or divorce directly. Then Ma Yuling said she wanted a divorce, so she did." said the lady.
"This must be a misunderstanding. Chen Bing's child should be going to college in two years." Chen Rou frowned.
"You're busy with the shop and don't know what's going on. Ma Yuling's style is not decent. Last time, someone caught her shopping with her boss. I heard they were holding hands!" said the middle-aged woman.
"What I heard was all hearsay. It would take Chen Gongan to see it with his own eyes. It's getting late. I'll go back to cook. I'm exhausted all day." Chen Rou said.
She went in, and the ladies outside continued talking. From the tone of their voices, it sounded as if they had seen Ma Yuling and her director get a room with their own eyes.
Having lived here for so many years, Chen Rou naturally knew Ma Yuling. She also knew Chen Bing's father, Chen Gongan. When the couple quarreled, they quarreled really fiercely and could even fight.
Of course, it was usually Ma Yuling who beat Chen Gongan, and Chen Gongan would just slam the door and leave.
But she had also seen when they were doing well, and they were just as affectionate as she and Han Guobin.
But compared to her and Han Guobin, who are an old married couple, hers is a passionate one.
Chen Bing got along well with her children and often came over to their house, but Chen Rou and Ma Yuling were not very familiar with each other, even though they had been neighbors for many years.
Chen Rou has to go out to look after the shop every day, and Ma Yuling has to go to work, so they rarely have time to interact.
Of course, Ma Yuling was not very happy to deal with her as an individual business owner before.
But Ma Yuling is very fashionable. She has her hair done, and she likes to wear high heels, carry a bag on her wrist, and wear lipstick.
This is indeed a very fashionable woman.
However, her reputation among people is not very good, especially the gossip between her and her director.
It happened last time, and it happened again, and this time it was obviously a bit more serious.
Just after they had dinner, a big quarrel broke out again.
Chen Bing ran over and begged Han Guobin to come over to separate the fight, and Han Guobin came over.
Ma Yuling's hair was messy, and Chen Gongan's hair was even worse, with obvious slap marks on his face.
Han Guobin separated the two and said, "Is there anything you can't talk about peacefully? Why did you two fight like this?"
