When Han Guobin and his friends were driving in the past, the roads were actually not very easy to drive on, but they still drove on them.
Things are different now than before. Many places are working hard to build roads.
For example, the road from their county town to the provincial capital is already a very wide and flat road. They promoted the idea of building roads first if they wanted to get rich a long time ago.
However, many places had not been repaired at that time. But now, after so many years, a lot of roads have been repaired and the roads are really much smoother, so the fleet has really been very busy since this year.
We used to receive goods once a month, but now we have three days off a month. After a good rest, we have to go out and transport goods again.
Of course, the remuneration has been raised again.
It is a good idea to import large home appliances from the south and sell them in the county town, but Han Guobin's appetite is obviously not limited to this. After the business of the two home appliance stores in the county town stabilized, Han Guobin turned his attention to the provincial capital.
He wanted to open a home appliance wholesale city in the provincial capital, focusing on wholesale.
Han Guobin was familiar with the provincial capital. After all, he had been driving there before. He would go there occasionally for a stroll. Over the past ten years, he had become familiar with many places around there and thought that place was nice.
Of course, these home appliances are also available in the big shopping malls in the provincial capital, but Han Guobin doesn’t think he can’t open one.
So that night Han Guobin talked about it with his wife.
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go ahead if you want to do it, or do you want to partner with Lao Si and the others?"
"Cooperate with Gu Chengyao." Han Guobin shook his head and said.
Chen Rou was puzzled: "Cooperate with my third cousin? How can he help?"
"We talked about it during the New Year. The director in the provincial capital is new. He was his former comrade-in-arms and they have a very close relationship," said Han Guobin.
Chen Rou said: "Are you still talking about this?"
"He knows our convoy. He told us to tell him our name if we encounter any trouble. He has already said hello." Han Guobin said.
Of course, there is another reason for seeking cooperation with Gu Chengyao. This time, Han Guobin plans to hire retired soldiers to help in the shop, so Gu Chengyao needs help in manpower.
Chen Rou said: "If you want to do it, just do it. Go and talk to your third cousin yourself."
She felt that her family's business was getting bigger and bigger, but since he had the intention, she would not stop him, and there was no need to stop him anymore.
After all, it's really easy to make money. The two home appliance stores that cooperate with Lao Si and his friends are doing pretty good business. The price of shipping the goods back is expensive, but if you go to the provincial capital to buy them yourself, the price will be the same, and here they can also deliver the goods to your door.
As long as there is no grudge against her family, no one will go far away to do business with her.
Whatever her steamed bun shop and grocery store earn every month, Tiedan and his wife's grain and oil shop, after deducting the 150 yuan salary increase for the couple, earns more every month than hers, because the shop there is bigger and in a great location.
Including the shipments from her third brother, the purchases from Han Guoli, Song Xiaoyu and others, the dividends from the pig farm and the several shops she and Ma Yuling have in partnership, and other miscellaneous income, the family's income is now stable at over 10,000 yuan per month. By the Chinese New Year this year, she feels that it will double.
Of course, the two Qifan furniture stores are the big players, and motorcycles are also the big players.
Now that the family savings could be used by Han Guobin, Chen Rou did not stop him and let him go.
Han Guobin also said hello to Lao Si and Lao Yang and the others. If you want to form a partnership with others, you have to let them know.
Lao Si and Lao Yang said, "Don't you plan to continue the cooperation?"
"The business over there was arranged by my cousin, and he was the one who started it," said Han Guobin.
Lao Si and Lao Yang didn’t say anything.
Han Guobin will not requisition their cars. He plans to buy two more to expand his own fleet.
Before that, I went to talk to Gu Chengyao, of course, on the phone.
Chen Rou didn't know what they were talking about, so she let them handle their own affairs as men. But Han Guobin was obviously busy next.
At this time, the eldest child is about to start school.
Chen Rou also wanted to ask Han Guobin to take some time to go to Beijing with the boss, but it was obvious that the boss had no need for this.
"I can go there by myself, there's no need for my dad to follow me." Han Hang said.
Chen Rou looked at her eldest son, who was already a little taller than his father, and felt deeply moved.
He was just a cute little kid back then, but in the blink of an eye he has grown so big and tall. When they were about to part, Chen Rou found that she was really reluctant to let him go.
But she was not a sentimental person. Since the eldest brother said it was okay, then it was okay, so she let him take the bus by himself.
Han Guobin was very busy and indeed had no time to follow, but he still managed to find time to send the boss to the train station in the provincial capital.
"Remember to call the furniture store when you get there." Han Guobin said.
"Okay." Han Hang nodded.
After arriving in Beijing and settling down, Han Hang went to a telephone booth to call home.
Chen Rou heard from the employees at the home appliance store that they came to report that he was safe and that he had arrived at Huada University and was stable, so there was no need to worry.
Chen Rou still believed in the sons she raised, and there was no need to worry about their self-care abilities. Even for the little fourth child, if she sent him to Beijing to study and left him alone there, Chen Rou would not need to worry that he would not be able to take care of himself.
I'm just afraid that the little brat will learn bad things.
But Boss needn't worry.
Han Guobin has been busy in the provincial capital for nearly a month. Of course, he is not always there. He will find time to come back from time to time, but after being busy for a month, that’s enough.
Chen Rou asked, "How many people did you hire?"
"Eight people." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou raised her eyebrows and said, "Eight are enough?" She knew that the home appliance wholesale business her family had in the provincial capital was quite large.
"Let's do this for now and see later." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou didn't care any more.
Han Guobin is free now, so he naturally has time to get close to his wife. Chen Rou despises him for being shameless, but she also half-heartedly agrees.
After the couple finished their work, they hugged each other. Chen Rou said, "Our first bird just flew away like this."
"The second child is in the first year of high school this year, and he will have to fly again in three years," said Han Guobin.
"Fly." Chen Rou was just sighing. Isn't the purpose of giving birth to a child to be able to fly? To raise him up and watch him fly away by himself. Although she felt a little disappointed, she was also satisfied.
"Wife, I'm here with you." Han Guobin said.
"Men are unreliable." Chen Rou said slowly, "Zhou Chuan's wife and Yumei's sister-in-law all told me the same thing."
Han Guobin said: "How is that the same? Zhou Chuan Dayuan and I are not the same kind of people!"
"We'll see later. It's not enough to just talk about it." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin snorted. If words alone are not enough, then take action!
Chen Rou hurriedly asked: "Come on, can you bear it?" When she was young, she wanted it endlessly, and often had to do it two or three times at most, but she is not young anymore!
Han Guobin asked her to see if he could bear it.
Han Guobin has settled down in the provincial capital. Now he only needs to go there every few days. He can go and come back the same day. He can still live with his wife.
Chen Rou also noticed that he became very attached to her after he finished his work in the provincial capital. She knew that this rough man was trying to comfort her because she was feeling lost because her eldest son had gone to study, so she felt happy about it.
And this is why she is willing to make some concessions on the issue of Han's father and mother's retirement so as not to make things difficult for him.
This rough man truly loved her, so she naturally wouldn't let him get entangled in such trivial matters. So she was simply generous and gave him an extra thirty yuan every month in addition to the annual tribute.
Chen's mother knew about this and praised her when she followed her into the city.
After all, she is a mother now, and she is really sensible. There are some things that she needs to care about, but there are also some things that she should be generous with.
Thirty yuan is a small matter, but the impact is huge. With such a big business in the city, you don’t have to worry about it. Just give it. Reputation is the most important thing.
"Does my little nephew look like my third sister-in-law or my third brother?" Chen Rou didn't say much about this and asked her mother with a smile.
The first child born to Lvdan's wife is also a son. This is almost her third brother's late-born child, as he was over 40 years old when he had this one.
"He looks exactly like your third brother, but he's too noisy. He can't do anything with your third sister-in-law taking care of him." Mother Chen said with a smile.
"That's the same as little Lao Si. This brat was like that when he was a child. He never let go and would cry as soon as he was let go." Chen Rou said.
"Mom, you are saying bad things about me again." The fourth child came home from school with his schoolbag on his back and said, also calling his grandma.
"I didn't say anything bad about you. I was telling you the truth. If you don't believe me, go ask your second brother and your sister. You made me so upset when you were a child that I almost wanted to give you away." Chen Rou said.
"How could you bear to give away such a handsome child of mine?" said the fourth child.
"I already have three handsome children, your eldest brother, second brother and third sister, each of them is handsome." Chen Rou said.
"This hurts my heart." Little Lao Si said as he washed the tomatoes and ate them.
"Don't listen to your mother. She doesn't know how much she loves you." said Chen's mother.
The fourth child grinned and said, "My grandma has to love me too."
Naturally, Chen's mother loved her little grandson. She smiled and took out a plastic bag, took out five yuan from it and gave it to him, then asked about his studies in school.
The fourth child took the money with a smile and told everyone everything, saying that he was doing well in school and there was no need to worry.
Then he would reach out to touch the radish and take it home to feed the little donkey.
"Give me money." Chen Rou said calmly.
"Mom, this is all the pocket money I have left." Little Four muttered.
"Don't pretend. Do you think I don't know that your eldest brother gave you fifty yuan from his own scholarship before going to school?" Chen Rou said lightly.
The boss really loves this little brother.
The fourth child smiled and said, "That's because my eldest brother loves me."
"No payment, no carrot." Chen Rou waved her hand.
Naturally, the fourth child had no choice but to pay the money, bought two radishes, and then took his grandmother home first and let her sleep with him tonight.
As soon as Chen's mother got home, she started cooking. Little Lao Si went to feed the little donkey. The little donkey rubbed against him affectionately, and then began to eat the delicious radish. Little Lao Si went to pick up someone again, gave the little donkey a bath, and then let it go back to the donkey roost.
In the afternoon, Chen Rou handed the shop over to Han Guobin to take a look. Although their own business was quite big with many stalls, Chen Rou and Han Guobin still did not slack off over the grocery store.
At noon, I can take a nap by leaning on the lazy chair that was specially customized from the furniture store.
When business comes, I do business. I don't look down on the thousand dollars I make from the grocery store. I make every penny this way.
After showing the shop to Han Guobin, Chen Rou and her mother took a nap at home and then came over to visit Fourth Sister Chen.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang sell buns in the morning and open a dumpling shop at noon and in the evening. Their business is not that booming, but it is really good.
Seeing her sister and mother coming over, Sister Chen smiled and asked, "Mom, when did you come to the city?"
"It was this morning. I came in following the tractor." Mother Chen said with a smile as she sat outside.
Although Chen's mother is quite old, she is still very strong. Her legs and feet are very nimble. She came in sitting very steadily on the tractor.
"How's business these days?" Chen Rou asked her fourth sister.
"Not bad." Sister Chen Si said, "We are just waiting to save some money for their wedding expenses. After that, Dabang and I can save money for our retirement."
An Dabang shouted, "Mom, sister-in-law, would you like a bowl of dumplings?"
"No need, we have already had lunch and cooked five or six dishes." said Chen's mother.
An Dabang smiled and nodded, then he continued to chop the stuffing.
Sister Chen Si chatted with her mother and sister, and also asked about the youngest son of Brother Chen San, saying that it must be precious for him to have a child at such an old age.
Speaking of which, Chen's mother is really satisfied with Wu Afang, the new daughter-in-law.
Even though her grandson is noisy, she can still keep the house in order.
Starting this year, Brother Chen San has set up an oil press factory in the village. It has been built and can be used for two purposes. All the incoming goods and inventory are stored there.
Brother Chen San was also generous. He raised five big wolfhounds there and asked hired workers to take turns to keep watch with his father.
Father Chen no longer lives at home. He basically lives near the factory, looking after it for his son.
Chen's mother was very happy when she talked about the prosperity of her family. As long as the oil press factory did well, she would have nothing to worry about in the future.
"Juhua is getting married this year." Mother Chen thought about it and said.
Juhua is the eldest daughter of her third brother. Even in today's society, if it were in the past, she would have been married long ago.
His third brother and Huang Aidi had three children in total. His niece Juhua was the eldest daughter, and she had two younger brothers.
Including the one Wu Afang gave birth to now, she has three sons, but they all stopped studying after junior high school. They all help out at home and go out to harvest grains and so on.
The three siblings are all that old now, so naturally they are not close to Wu Afang, but Wu Afang doesn't care about this, and they get along quite harmoniously.
Moreover, Wu Afang has a kind personality and cooks delicious food. Huang Aidi is not as good as her in this respect. Of course, a son will never dislike his mother’s ugliness. Although they are divorced now, Huang Aidi is still their mother.
Naturally, they would no longer recognize Wu Afang as their mother, but they were not that close to their biological mother Huang Aidi who lived in the village. Before the divorce, what they feared most was that Huang Aidi would keep telling them that the Huang family was not having a easy time and that they should help them.
If their grandmother had not brought back cloth and asked their eldest sister to make clothes for them, they would not have been able to count on their mother. All the money she had saved would have been given to Old Huang's family.
And the Huang family, the family of their grandparents, can even let their cousin come and seduce their father. The cousin is younger than their eldest sister.
Even if they choose not to continue their studies after junior high school and come out to help their families, they know that this is simply ridiculous!
So when their father wanted to divorce, they had no objection, because it had come to this, what else could they do? Moreover, their father also promised to give their mother one hundred yuan a month so that she could live on her own, and he did not treat her unfairly.
In fact, the two brothers have some objections to the remarriage, but they can't stop it. The eldest sister will be married soon, and can they really leave all the household affairs to them?
I want to marry one, but I'm a little worried that I'll end up with a vicious stepmother. Fortunately, their father has a good eye, and this one is not bad.
The two brothers help out at home, as does their eldest sister, and generally get along well with their stepmother, Wu Afang.
The eldest niece of the third brother is also getting married, and both Chen Rou and Chen Sijie said that they would add to the dowry.
"What is Lei Zi and Yu Tou's attitude towards their younger brother?" Chen Rou asked.
"The third brother talked to the two brothers and told them not to worry about the family property. Just work hard and they will divide it as they wish in the future without favoring anyone," said Chen's mother.
"Why are you talking about this now?" said Chen Sijie.
"It's okay to talk about it." Chen Rou said.
When you re-establish a family, all these problems arise, so some things need to be made clear to avoid any resentment or unnecessary conflicts.
"Don't we have to talk to the two brothers first? Huang Aidi is becoming more and more capable now. Last time, she pulled Lei Zi and Yutou to say that Guangguang would compete with them for the family property in the future, and said that we would all favor Guangguang and let them win at that time!" Chen's mother snorted.
Lei Zi and Yu Tou were both born to Huang Aidi, and Guang Guang was born to Wu Afang.
Fourth Sister Chen frowned and said, "What is Huang Aidi trying to do? Now that we're divorced, why is she still coming to mess up the family?"
"Since my third sister-in-law gave birth to a son, she will definitely have some thoughts. That's normal," said Chen Rou.
Chen's mother said, "That's normal, but why did she teach Lei Zi and Yu Tou these things? She also said that your third brother and I would always favor Guang Guang. Fortunately, Lei Zi and Yu Tou didn't listen to her and knew what was going on!"
Over the years, she has been very kind to her grandchildren. She and her husband would eat the gifts her daughter brought home, but not much as they were reluctant to eat them. Most of the food went into their grandchildren's stomachs. If the affection they had developed over the years could be ruined by a few words from their mother, Mother Chen would probably be very disappointed.
"Who told you that?" Chen Rou asked.
"Your eldest aunt, don't they live over there together? She heard it when we talked about it. I also asked the two brothers, but they didn't wrongly accuse her!" Chen's mother snorted, and then she continued to mutter, "Your third brother is the same. At that time, I said that fifty yuan a month was too much, but your third brother directly gave her a hundred. Now she has nothing better to do than to gossip about it!"
"Lei Zi and Yu Tou didn't listen to her. Just give it to them. It's for the sake of the three siblings." Chen Rou said.
She understood what her third brother meant. After all, they had been married for more than 20 years, and although they did not end up together, she gave birth to three children for him.
From now on, as long as Huang Aidi does not cross the line, he will ask the child to take the monthly living expenses as usual.
This is not only out of affection, but also a psychological comfort to the children, letting them see that their father is not so heartless.
Her third brother has done what he should do. What the other children will think depends on their own intentions.
Chen Rou always felt that her third brother was right in giving Huang Aidi 100 yuan for living expenses, especially since prices have been rising all the time. It is impossible to give her the same amount this year and expect the amount to increase next year. 100 yuan is good, and she can talk about it later.
Giving out this one hundred yuan in alimony is actually beneficial to both her third brother's reputation and the new wife, Wu Afang.
"You don't know, her parents' side came to look for us again!" Chen's mother said again.
"What?" Fourth Sister Chen's face darkened. "We're already divorced, how dare the Huang family come looking for us?"
"She didn't come to our house." Chen's mother explained. The Chen family was so powerful now that the Huang family dared not enter. They had cut off all ties with them. "That old woman went to look for Huang Aidi."
"Want to suck blood again?" Sister Chen Si asked sarcastically.
"That's right, but Huang Aidi threw urine all over him." said Chen's mother.
"Then she has improved." Chen Rou said.
"Improved?" Mother Chen mocked, "I don't think so. Everyone in our area knows what the Huang family is like. Now the old lady is willing to sacrifice her reputation and come to ask for her daughter's forgiveness every day, letting her daughter beat and scold her. She doesn't fight back and doesn't say anything back. What do you think will happen if this continues?"
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie were immediately disgusted by the Huang family's behavior.
He heard that Huang Aidi has money and receives 100 yuan in alimony every month, so he wanted to suck her blood. Now he allows himself to be beaten and scolded. Isn't he trying to make Huang Aidi soften her heart?
"And her eldest sister also came to try to persuade her. Just wait and see, with her personality, she won't be able to hold on for long, and she'll have to get entangled with her Huang family again." Mother Chen said. Otherwise, why would she be in a hurry to find another wife for her son after the divorce? It was to prevent the relationship from flaring up again!
Now that they are divorced, Chen's mother will not ask anything about Huang Aidi's affairs, even if she knows about it, she still won't ask.
Of course, if the Huang family dared to set their sights on her two grandsons, she would tear the Huang family's skin apart.
However, since she hasn't come to her senses, Chen's mother doesn't intend to care, and she won't care.
"Mother, why did you take care of such a family before? It's so stinking that the whole area is filled with the stench!" said Chen Sijie.
"What can we do? Do you know how difficult it was to find a wife back then?" Chen's mother said unhappily.
In the past, conditions were very bad, and after many people gave birth to girls, some were so cruel that they would just abandon them and let the wolves take them away. Don’t say it doesn’t happen, this is true!
Before marrying Huang Aidi, Chen's mother had inquired about the situation of the Huang family, but as mentioned before, wasn't Chen's mother still young at that time?
I thought that after all, she was married, how could she not be taught and controlled?
But she never expected that the Huang family would be so good at educating their daughter. No matter how her parents beat and scolded her, she always stuck to her parents' principles.
Chen Rou said: "They are just a bunch of termites. They can't cause any waves. You don't have to worry about them, mother."
Even though they are still the in-laws of my two nephews, they are divorced and have severed ties. If they dare to make trouble, I can just deal with them directly. There is no need to worry.
Mother Chen wasn't too worried and just kept nagging her two daughters.
Now that Guangguang's capable mother is around, she has her life very easy. Every day she just chats with her neighbors at home or watches TV.
There are all kinds of big items in the house, such as washing machines and refrigerators, which were all bought by the third child and are very useful.
So the living conditions are very good.
Nowadays, we don’t even raise chickens at home. We just buy eggs from our neighbors.
Chen's mother and Chen Rou stayed here for a while, and then went back. Fourth sister Chen wanted to keep them for dinner, but Chen Rou didn't want her to, and just asked her to bring An Dabang home in the evening.
Chen Rou took her mother home and picked out a pair of earrings from her gold jewelry. Some of these were bought for her by Han Guobin over the years, and some were bought by her and her fourth sister from a gold jewelry store.
The pair she took out were the earrings she bought herself. Han Guobin usually bought her big ones, such as gold bracelets and gold necklaces, which were very heavy on the hands and neck, but she never wore them and kept them.
Chen's mother would never want this from her: "Put them all away. I don't want these from you. I want your third brother to buy them for me. He bought me a pair last time. I keep them because they are too eye-catching."
"I bought it with my own money. I didn't use your son-in-law's money to subsidize you." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"No, no, put it away." Mother Chen waved her hand and said, "When Hanghang and his family get married in the future, if you are willing, you can keep it for your future daughter-in-law to use as a wedding plate."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, but I want to give you this pair of earrings as a gift."
"If you want to honor me and your father, just bring my grandchildren back to visit us every year and have dinner with us. In the past, you asked people to bring a lot of things back home. If I want the rest, I can go directly to your third brother. You and your sister don't have to give me these, just live your own lives." Chen's mother would not want her.
Chen Rou knew her mother's character. Although her conditions had improved since she was young, her mother's concept had not changed. She just wanted the daughters who married out to live a good life. They didn't need to take too much filial piety from their parents' home, as long as the thought was there.
Moreover, Chen's mother also felt that she had taken enough of her daughter's things. The watch on her hand and the old man's watch were both given by her son-in-law.
The same goes for the electric fan at home.
She would never want her daughter again for these gold earrings, so she just kept them for herself.
If she really wants a daughter all the time, then what's the difference between her and the old hag in the Huang family?
"Just take me to the home appliance store tomorrow to have a look." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then go over and take a look tomorrow."
Since her mother refused to accept them, she put the gold earrings away. She would find time to pool money with her fourth sister to buy her a pair, and she would accept them then.
Although she is filial to her parents, Chen Rou doesn't think that she and Huang Aidi are the same kind of people.
Also, don't avoid your mother's family just because of a case like Huang Aidi. Many families love their daughters. After your daughter has a good life in her own family, there is nothing wrong with showing more filial piety to her parents.
It is rare to see people like the Huang family who sucked blood from their daughter.
The mother and daughter watched TV for a while. Chen Rou went to make milk powder for her mother and said, "Mom, did you and Dad drink the milk powder that I asked someone to bring back last time? Don't just give it to Lei Zi and Yu Tou. You have to drink more too. It's important to supplement your nutrition when you get old."
"Yes, your third brother went to the city and bought a lot of it. He's drinking it all. If he doesn't drink it, it will expire. Your third brother is such a wasteful person." Chen's mother kept nagging her.
"Third brother bought a lot last time and sent two big watermelons here." Chen Rou smiled and said, "I saw he bought several back."
"Well, take one and give it to your uncle." Chen's mother said. Speaking of her brother, Chen's mother sighed softly.
"What's wrong?" Chen Rou couldn't help but ask.
"Your uncle is getting older and older, every year." Chen's mother said. She has a really good relationship with her elder brother.
"My uncle is in good health, and my eldest and second cousins are both filial." Chen Rou said.
"It's filial piety, but you're old after all," said Chen's mother.
"Wait until Anwen and Anwu return from their studies, and then let them go over to see their great uncle." Chen Rou said with a smile.
Mother Chen also smiled and nodded, saying, "Last time I came back, I wanted to show it to your father and me, but your fourth sister scolded me, saying why do you want to watch this on New Year's Day?"
"My fourth sister is a superstitious person. It's safer to see it first. I'm going to come back during the Chinese New Year this year, so I'll ask them to take a look." Chen Rou said.
Although there was nothing to do at home, her grandson was still young, so Chen's mother still had to go back to help. She didn't stay long and went back after staying here for two days.
It's time to get busy at this time of year. The annual autumn harvest is coming. How can we not be busy? The big warehouses in the suburbs are filling up with grain.
The shops also need to relieve themselves of grain, which at this time are all grains that have just been harvested. They are not only fresh and delicious, but also cheap.
Many families would store food at home at this time.
There are naturally quite a few shops doing grain and oil business in the county town nowadays, not just Chen Rou and Han Guobin, but in terms of business, they have not been affected much.
After all, there are so many people in the city, and there have always been many grain and oil shops, but there seem to be even more of them now.
But business is as usual. No matter which shop Chen Rou owns, they all adhere to the principle of never shortchanging customers. They have been in business for so many years and have a very good reputation. They also have a fixed flow of customers. No matter how many more shops are opened outside, the business of this shop is actually relatively stable.
There are three days of holiday during the National Day in October. The second child, Han Zhou, is now in the first year of high school and the school is intensively studying, so he still has to make up for the lessons.
The County No. 1 Middle School has become more valuable since it produced a top student like Han Hang this year. Principal Zhu doesn't want to decline like this. How embarrassing that would be. So hold on tight.
This year, we have set up very good scholarships for midterm and final exams. The scholarships are for the top 20 students in the grade, and the higher the ranking, the more generous the scholarships.
This time the monthly exam was held before the holiday, but the results are not out yet. They will probably be revised after I return from the holiday.
As he was selling eggs, the little fourth child said, "In order to earn a few carrots for my little donkey, are you happy to use me, a child laborer?"
"In order to support you brothers, your father and mother work all year round. They open and look after the shop every day, regardless of wind, rain or snow. Do you get enough to eat every day?" Chen Rou said.
The fourth child choked and said, "Mom, you are becoming more and more eloquent. I can't argue with you."
"I, your mother, am always reasonable. If you think your mother is unreasonable, you can refute her." Chen Rou said.
The woman who bought the eggs smiled and said, "You must help your mother. Now that your conditions are better, your expenses have increased. It is not easy to raise so many of you."
"Of course I have to help. From now on, you can just call me Boss Han." said Little Fourth.
This made the old lady laugh, and she went back with half a basket of eggs.
Han Cheng and his father were weighing grain over there, and she helped with the weighing, then collected the money and gave the change, very efficiently.
After the peak period, you can take a break.
The fourth child started to make trouble again, saying, "Mom, I want to change my schoolbag. The previous one is too old."
"You'd better save your energy. You've only helped me so little and yet you dare to ask for a new schoolbag." Chen Rou dismissed him.
"Mom, you don't love me at all now." Little Fourth said, "You were not like this before. You always agreed to my requests."
"Don't be ashamed. How old were you before? You were a little kid, so white, tender and cute. How old are you now? You play like a dirty monkey every day. Mom has seen enough of you, and you still want to use the tricks you used when you were a child." Han Cheng said.
"Sister, you are becoming more and more like a housewife. Do you know that this is not good? You have to be a little fairy!" said the fourth little one.
Han Cheng pinched his ear directly: "Am I a fairy? Think about it and tell me clearly."
The fourth child bared his teeth, thinking of the tigress in his heart and the little fairy in his mouth.
"Mom, that stinky old man is calling me a tigress in his heart." Han Cheng complained.
"How could I? Sister, please don't accuse me!" Xiao Lao Si denied.
The brother and sister argued for a while, and then continued to do business when customers came.
When they got home after work, the fourth child pestered his mother to buy the new book list. Han Cheng took her father's arm and acted like a spoiled child to him: "Dad, next summer vacation, I want to go to Beijing to see my eldest brother."
"Go by yourself?" Han Guobin asked.
"Sister Yaoyao and Sister Baozhu have never been to a big city like Beijing. I'll ask them and ask them to go together?" Han Cheng said.
"It's not safe for you girls to take the train by yourselves," said Han Guobin.
"It's not unsafe. It only takes a day and a half to get there from here." Han Cheng said.
"That won't work either. It's too far." Han Guobin said, "Will I take you to the provincial capital next year?"
"I've been to the provincial capital many times." Han Cheng said.
From time to time, she and her sister Yaoyao would take a bus to the provincial capital with other female classmates. There were direct buses, and four or five of them would go together. They were not afraid to go to the library or something like that.
And seven times out of ten, the naughty little brother, Little Fourth, would insist on going along.
So I am not unfamiliar with the provincial capital, nor am I very interested in it.
"Sister, are you going to Beijing to see big brother? Then I'll go with you!" said the fourth child with shining eyes.
"You ask your parents, they haven't agreed yet." Han Cheng said.
"Mom, why are you worried about my sister and I going out? And Sister Yaoyao is also very smart. With her and me here, even if my sister is stupid, who can coax us when we go out together?" The fourth little brother immediately said to his mother.
He knew that he should have told his mother about this kind of thing. His mother had the final say in the family, so it was useless to ask his father.
Why is she so stupid when Han Cheng wants to hit him?
"Don't be so clever. Exercise well and drink more milk this year. If you can grow five centimeters taller by next summer vacation, I can consider letting you be your sister's guardian angel." Chen Rou said with a smile.
"Three centimeters is still possible, but five centimeters is too much." Little Four said, "Besides, I'm already 1.6 meters tall now. I'm also very fierce in a fight. I'm not afraid of ordinary thugs at all!"
Don't think that he went to his godfather's place for nothing. His godfather has several good fighters, the kind that can beat several at once. So he listened to his godfather, got him a sandbag, and taught him the key points of fighting. Recently, he has been learning how to use nunchakus, and they are not just fancy moves, but the kind that is specifically used for fighting.
He is very good at fighting!
