Last year’s New Year was more lively, but this year’s New Year is not that lively.
Although Ye Zhiqing's return last year caused a lot of gossip, Su Mianmian and Gu Chengyao also came back with four little tigers.
He even came to my house specially to sit on New Year's Day.
Their family is missing this year, but there are still quite a few people from other families.
Gao Zheng from the neighboring village also came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
He really envied his brother Bin. They used to go hunting in the mountains together, and later went straight to work in the city.
Now, of course, he has become rich.
The TV his family bought this year was also from Qifan Furniture City in the shopping mall. It is very useful.
Gao Zheng is one of the few families in the village who can afford a TV, and he has made a comeback over the years.
You have to know that at that time, his family was extremely poor because of the medical treatment for his father. The only way to marry him a wife was to help buy a pot.
It can be seen how unwelcome it was at that time.
He didn't do anything else illegal, but being poor was his original sin. Even though everyone was poor back then, it was rare for a family to be as poor as his.
Fortunately, it all came together.
However, his relationship with Han Guobin has always been very good over the years. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Han Guobin even brought a box of tea to his house.
He came here on the first day of the new year.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the whole family came to Lao Chen's house after breakfast.
An Dabao and Chen Sijie have already arrived. Brothers An Wen and An Wu did not go home this year, so the couple must be feeling a bit lonely this year.
When they came back last year, Sister Chen Si also disliked them, but this year she couldn't help but complain about them, saying that the two boys had no conscience and didn't even come back during the New Year.
But the two brothers were too busy. They went to university in Shanghai and were arranged to intern in the hospital during the New Year to gain some clinical experience, so they really had no time to come back.
Chen Rou said, "If you miss your son, you can move to Shanghai with my brother-in-law. Now that we are familiar with the business, it doesn't matter where we do business."
"Although I am thinking about her, it's not that exaggerated. We have to move there. It's not like she is a daughter. If it were a daughter, Dabang and I might move there. But the two brothers can go there by themselves, and they can do the same when they get married in the future." Sister Chen smiled.
In the blink of an eye, I am almost old enough to get married.
Chen Rou also smiled, and Fourth Sister Chen took the little nephew from Wu Afang's arms and said, "He looks like his father, especially these eyes, which are exactly the same as his father's. He must be a smart boy."
Wu Afang smiled and said, "If he can be as successful as his father, then I will be satisfied."
Brother Chen San glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie looked at each other and knew what was going on.
Wu Afang is going to the kitchen to busy herself.
"Second brother, Chengzi, and little fourth brother, go to the kitchen to help your third aunt." Chen Rou said.
"No need, I can do it myself." Wu Afang said.
"There are so many people here. You can't handle it all by yourself, Third Aunt. We will help you and the work will be quicker." Han Cheng said with a smile.
Wu Afang smiled and said, "Okay, come here." and went to the kitchen.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie carried their little nephew into the house to talk to Chen's mother.
Now that her third brother's niece Juhua is married, Chen Rou and Chen Sijie each gave her 100 yuan as a dowry, and did not give her anything else, because Third Brother Chen had already prepared everything for the dowry.
The other party is also a well-known family in the man's village. They are a cadre family in the village and have a good reputation. Naturally, they cannot let their daughter be looked down upon.
The betrothal money was accepted, but it was all given to his daughter as a dowry. Brother Chen San also gave his daughter a dowry, and he married his daughter off in a very grand manner.
Now only Chen's father and mother, Chen's third brother, Wu Afang, and their three sons are left in the family.
Lei Zi and Yu Tou were born to Huang Aidi, and this little nephew Guang Guang was born to Wu Afang.
When Chen Rou asked about Juhua, Chen's mother smiled and said, "She won't come this year. She's already got a big belly and it's not convenient. Before the New Year, Gangzi came over with wine and meat."
Gangzi is the name of the man with chrysanthemum.
Almost all the names used by that generation were cut from the same template, and the rate of duplication was very high, especially those with names like patriotism and founding the country, which were still used by a lot of people until the 1980s.
"Should I move out and live on my own or live with everyone?" Chen Rou asked.
"They must have moved out and lived on their own. They built a brick house and the couple lived their own lives. That's the rule in their family. Whoever gets married moves out," said Chen's mother.
It is because of this that Chen's mother is satisfied. Moreover, Chen's mother is also satisfied with another point, that is, Juhua's husband Gangzi has many brothers, a total of 1 brother, and Gangzi is in the middle. He does not have to worry about being bullied at all.
In the 1980s, there were many families in the village who were bullied because they didn't have sons, and their homesteads were even forcibly occupied.
In the past, the policy was still there. If you bullied someone, you would be bullied, but you didn't dare to be so blatant. Now, when you encounter the village cadres who do nothing, you are bullied to death, and you have no place to complain. Even if you say something, they will just try to smooth things over.
Juhua's husband Gangzi came to help Brother Chen San since he married Juhua. He was responsible for driving the tractor to collect the goods. The couple did not farm, but planted some fruits and vegetables in their own private plot, and did not plant anything else.
Many people envy Gangzi. Not only did he marry a wife who can manage the household, but he also met such a capable father-in-law. He won't have to worry about the rest of his life.
It was calculated based on the salary, and the payment was made every month. Brother Chen San didn't give much, but he would occasionally let me take a can of peanut oil home. If the family bought something good, he would usually let them take it back when he got off work in the evening.
Brother Chen San from his mother-in-law's side would also help his daughter to do some favors and occasionally ask her to make some gifts.
The couple is still young, so they definitely need help from adults.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie nodded after hearing this. This was very good. Juhua didn't have to worry about her husband's family. With a capable husband's family, she could stand on her own and not be afraid of being bullied.
"I think my third brother can't escape the look in his eyes that is staring at Guangguang's mother." Fourth Sister Chen said with a smile.
"Guangguang's mother also knows how to praise people." Chen Rou said.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "Your third brother likes to hear her praise."
"Brother, has he gained a lot of weight? I see his face is rounder and his belly is bigger." Chen Rou said.
"He gained weight. He must have gained about 20 kilograms." Mother Chen wanted to laugh when she said this. "Afang can cook. She always says that your third brother has a hard time out there. She cooks sumptuous meals for every meal. Not to mention your third brother, after she came into the family, didn't your father and I do the same?"
Fourth Sister Chen whispered, "Has she returned to her parents' home?"
"When Guangguang was born and she was in confinement, her son brought a basket of eggs and two chickens. Before it snowed, your third brother took her and Guangguang back home on his motorcycle. I asked you to give some money to the two elders, and he gave them a hundred yuan." Chen's mother said.
When they got married last year, Third Brother Chen helped rebuild the brick house and also expanded it to prepare for Wu Afang's first son's future wedding. This year he brought some gifts and gave the two elders a hundred yuan as a red envelope, which was considered acceptable.
Outside, Han Guobin and An Dabang didn't stay in the house for long. They followed Brother Chen San to visit the oil press factory.
It used to be an oil press, but now it is a real oil press factory and is well-known in the surrounding area.
Brother Chen San hired a lot of young and strong men to help. There were almost no idle young people in the village, and they all came to work for him.
A lot of manpower is needed.
At the same time, it also provides many jobs for the villagers. The old people like to go there. There is a place reserved for them to peel peanuts and eat. Isn’t it great to earn a few cents a day and take it home to supplement the family income?
I love going there when I'm at home with nothing to do. They make tea there, and the water even has tea leaves in it. It tastes really good.
Brother Chen San is now in the village. He is a real doer and has really driven the development of the village.
The village party secretary wanted to recommend him to be a cadre, but Brother Chen San just held a sinecure and he had no time to be busy.
Everyone in the village was very happy during this Chinese New Year because Brother Chen San was very generous. This year he gave two kilograms of peanut oil to each of the elderly people in the village who used to peel peanuts in the yard to eat during the Chinese New Year.
It can be said that I am willing to spend money on it.
They were all praising him.
The better Brother Chen San did, the more heartbroken the Huang family became.
Although they had not completely severed their relationship in the past, Old Mrs. Huang would always show off her status as a mother-in-law every Chinese New Year. No matter whether her son-in-law was a boss or how big his business was, she would scold and reprimand him whenever he came over.
Later, Brother Chen San stopped serving her and didn't even come to see her during the Chinese New Year. Only then did she restrain herself. But they would still quarrel, and she didn't get any benefits she wanted.
Mother Chen snorted coldly: "The last time I came to Huang Aidi's place, I saw Lei Zi and was talking to him!"
"Have you told Lei Zi?" Chen Rou frowned.
"Of course they have explained it. Our Chen family has completely torn relations with the Huang family. The brothers have seen clearly what kind of people the Huang family is. If they still want to recognize that grandmother, they will ask for it if they are entangled with bloodsuckers in the future." Chen's mother said.
"What did Lei Zi say to Yu Tou?" asked Chen Sijie.
"They definitely won't recognize them. The three siblings hate the Huang family so much, how could they recognize them?" Chen's mother said calmly.
Wasn’t it that a good family was broken up by the Huang family? The three siblings, Juhua, Leizi and Yutou, cannot blame anyone. They blame the Huang family and their own mother.
"Has Huang Aidi reconciled with the Huang family?" Chen Rou said.
"We've made up, but it seems like we didn't get a penny from Huang Aidi." said Chen's mother.
"How is this possible? She has made peace with the Huang family, but with her personality, she still hasn't given them a penny?" said Chen Sijie.
"I guess he has other intentions in making peace with her." Chen's mother whispered.
"What's on your mind?" Chen Rou and Chen Sijie asked.
"You don't know, her two sisters-in-law from her mother's side, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, are having affairs with other people outside!" said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie were both stunned for a moment.
"She often goes back to her parents' home. The things she carries with her are not expensive, just some eggs or something. I heard that every time she goes back, she is very close to her second and third sisters-in-law. I think her second and third sisters-in-law are having affairs with others outside, and it was she who instigated them." Chen's mother said.
"How could this happen?" Chen Rou asked.
"There is someone in our village who married over there. She came back the day before yesterday and told her sisters-in-law that her brothers were all losers and that the men outside were real men," said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou frowned. "Isn't she possessed by some unclean spirit? Why is she saying such things?"
"Don't worry about your third brother. She is clean. She just went back many times to instigate her sisters-in-law. I heard through the grapevine that she even gave money to the gangsters in her village and asked them to seduce her sisters-in-law!" Chen's mother whispered.
Chen Rou, the fourth sister of Chen: "...Mother, this is not reliable."
"Her second and third sisters-in-law were caught having an affair with the village thugs. If she hadn't hired them with money, those thugs, even if they were not decent, were still young people in their twenties. How could they look down on her second and third sisters-in-law who are so old, they are already in their forties and almost fifty!" said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou twitched her lips and said, "At that age, can you still be so frivolous?"
"He's never been a serious person." Sister Chen curled her lips.
"She won't stop until she destroys her Huang family." Chen's mother said, "I really underestimated her before. I didn't expect she could be so capable."
"If she really did it, how hateful would she be?" Chen Rou said.
"She must have hated him. She went back and threw feces at you once when she divorced your third brother, and she went back and threw feces at you again when he got married. But the past is the past. Later, Old Mrs. Huang from the Huang family came to her and knelt down to beg for her forgiveness. She was forcing her to forgive. I thought she would definitely give in, but I didn't expect this to happen." said Chen's mother.
"Then the old lady will definitely fight her to the death," said Chen Sijie.
"Why risk your life? That family is so disgusting. Who would tell them that it was Huang Aidi who instigated them? And they may not have evidence. But this year, the commotion there made the whole village enjoy the New Year." said Chen's mother.
Chen Rou and Chen Sijie were also very surprised. They didn't expect Huang Aidi to do such a thing.
After chatting for a while, they handed the little nephew to Chen's mother, and the two of them came to Aunt Chen's house to sit for a while, bringing some gifts.
As for Aunt Chen San, I won't go over there. Because of the previous incident, there are still some grudges between them.
Probably because she heard Chen Rou and Chen Sijie coming, Huang Aidi also came.
"Fourth aunt, little aunt." Huang Aidi called out.
"Now that we're divorced, there's no need to call us that." Sister Chen Si said directly.
"Come and sit with you?" Chen Rou looked at Huang Aidi and said.
"Okay." Huang Aidi nodded quickly.
Fourth sister Chen was a little reluctant to go over, so Chen Rou pulled her over. The small adobe house where Huang Aidi lived was rather crowded and small.
But it's good to have a place like this to stay.
"I heard that you were the one who did what happened on your mother's side?" Chen Rou also went straight to the point and said.
Sister Chen Si glanced at her, obviously not expecting her sister to say this.
"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. In this life, I really want to learn from Nezha and give my bones to my father and flesh to my mother, and become their daughter. I don't know how many lifetimes I have been a villain to deserve this kind of retribution!" Huang Aidi said with a wry smile.
"That's your own problem." Chen Rou said calmly.
"I know that your third brother did not deserve to divorce me. If he hadn't divorced me at that time, I might not have come to my senses. Now I have been ruined by the Huang family, just like my eldest sister. But they know that your third brother gives me 100 yuan a month for living expenses, and they still want to suck my blood. For money, he can even kneel in front of me. I guess his life is too leisurely, otherwise how could he have such ability? He just took 100 yuan to hire three thugs and asked them to seduce my sisters-in-law. Didn't my second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law get seduced by those young men? When I went back yesterday, there was a lot of noise at home. It was like watching a good show." Huang Aidi said happily.
"This adobe house is too small. Let's spend a hundred or two hundred dollars to buy the land from the empress and build a brick house to make it more spacious." Chen Rou said.
Huang Aidi pursed her lips and looked at her and said, "Aunt, will you forgive me?"
"There's no such thing as forgiveness or not. As for the bad things done by the Huang family, you are also an accomplice. If it weren't for your indulgence over the years, it wouldn't have come to that point." Chen Rou said, also looking at her: "But now you have started a new life, you should live a good life. When Lei Zi and Yu Tou get married in the future, their wives will have to come over to serve you tea, and the children will have to call you grandma."
Huang Aidi's tears immediately fell.
"Things over there with the Huang family are so rotten, so don't get involved. Live a good life in the second half of your life, and it won't be that bad. With Lei Zi Yutou around, no one in the village will look down on you." Chen Rou said.
I didn’t stay long with Chen Sijie and went back after I finished talking.
On the way, Sister Chen Si asked, "Why are you telling her this?"
"She is not a bad person by nature. She was just brainwashed before. Now she is divorced, and she doesn't want to reconcile with her parents. We want her to live a good life." Chen Rou said.
Huang Aidi used to like to take advantage of others, but she would never say anything bad about her aunt, and she was actually quite filial to her parents.
There is only one thing: I value my parents' family more than my husband's family. I couldn't change this habit for so many years, and only realized it after my divorce.
Now that her third brother has started a new life, Huang Aidi should also start to live her own life and stop interfering with the Huang family.
"You are so kind." Sister Chen Si said to her.
"It's not that I mean well or badly, I just don't want her to go from one extreme to another. Lei Zi and Yu Tou are all in the village." Chen Rou said.
If Huang Aidi still liked to maintain friendly relations with her parents' family, she would definitely not say anything today. She is not such a blindly kind person. However, Huang Aidi has been married to the Chen family for so many years, and she has not been uninfluenced by her Chen family.
Still able to distinguish right from wrong.
"They're divorced anyway, so who cares about her? It won't affect Lei Zi Yutou." Sister Chen Si said indifferently.
"We are from the same village. If she lives a good life, not only Lei Zi and Yu Tou, but also her parents and third brother will not embarrass themselves and become a laughing stock." Chen Rou said.
We have been married for more than 20 years, is it in vain? It would be fine if it was city people, they would live in different places after divorce, never contact each other, and might never see each other again in their entire lives. But Huang Aidi is still in the village. She has become a joke. Does that bring honor to the Chen family?
Even if she did it herself, it would still be a topic of gossip, and her two nephews would still be the talk of the village.
Seeing that she doesn't hate the Chen family, let her live a good life. It's enough for her to live a simple and ordinary life.
It's just a matter of a few words. She advises like this, but whether Huang Aidi listens or not depends on herself.
"I think you are almost becoming the Goddess of Mercy, saving all living beings." Fourth Sister Chen scolded with a smile.
Chen Rou waved her hand: "Not that great."
When we got back to Old Chen's house, we celebrated the New Year and had a reunion dinner together.
This year, Chen Rou also returned to the city early, on the fourth day of the New Year. On the fifth day, Ma Yuling came over and asked her to take pictures.
The two families came together to take pictures. The fourth child was called by the younger fourth child to come home for dinner, so he came too. The father and son took several pictures together.
The fourth brother was very happy and said with a smile: "Frame it for me and I will put it at home."
"Don't put it next to the bedside table." said the fourth child.
"All of them, all of them." The fourth brother waved his hand and said.
The fourth child was satisfied and came over to our house for lunch, and they stayed together for a while after the meal.
Chen Gongan said to Lao Si: "You guys should be careful over there."
"Pay attention. How can you not be aware of the public security in our county now? It's not comparable to other counties, right? The people under us all have their own jobs to do." said the fourth brother.
Chen Gongan didn't say anything. After he left, he muttered to Han Guobin, "It's just that they've been cleaned up now. They did a lot of these things in the past!"
They are all familiar with dealing with the Public Security Bureau.
"It's definitely not worth doing those things now. I see they have jointly opened a factory specializing in the production of toothpaste. The technology was bought from outside, so their subordinates will never have to worry about having nothing to do." Han Guobin said.
Of course, he also knew that those people had some black channels in the past, but now they have all been cleaned up and are all on the right track. There is nothing much to say. They have never done anything illegal before. They just raised pigs in the wild and worked in the black market during the period when private industries were banned.
Of course it was illegal before, but now it is all legal.
Public Security Chen didn't say anything, because thanks to the restraint of Lao Si and his people, the public security in the county town was indeed much better than that in the neighboring county. You know, the neighboring county town was so chaotic that people were robbing in the streets, and people didn't dare to go out at night.
The influence of Lao Si and his people was very large, and they were veritable local tyrants in the county. But now they have been cleansed, and are living in peace with the Public Security Bureau, and have also driven development to a certain extent.
As long as we continue like this and don't go down those wrong paths, everything will be fine.
Just after the Lantern Festival, the children went back to school.
The eldest son will go to college later, and there is still ten days left. He is also lazy and watches TV at home all day.
When the fourth child came home from school, he saw his eldest brother sitting on the sofa in his blazer, watching TV leisurely.
But the little fourth child was so envious that he said, "Brother, when can I be like this with you? This is too comfortable."
The eldest said, "Mom stewed another pigeon tonight. I just need to drink the soup, and you are responsible for eating the meat for me."
"Mom cooked this for you and second brother, you can eat it by yourselves." said the fourth brother.
The eldest brother sighed and said, "It's too much."
"Hehe, that's all motherly love for you, big brother." The fourth child was very happy.
Since returning to the city for the Chinese New Year, their mother has a duck today and a chicken tomorrow, and makes old duck soup, hen soup, mutton and wolfberry soup, and pig's trotter soup.
Every day is different. I made pigeon soup yesterday and I’ll make it again today.
"Drink it. Mother will be very happy if you drink it." said the fourth child. For the sake of their mother, they had to drink it no matter what.
The eldest smiled, rubbed the fourth child's head, and said, "Don't get angry with your mother at home."
"How can that be possible? Big brother, you don't know how eloquent my mother is. I can never beat her in an argument." said the fourth little brother.
The eldest brother laughed and said, "This year when we go to Beijing, I will take you to see the Great Wall and the Forbidden City."
"We still have to eat roast duck. There isn't much left at home after we share it this time. It will be gone in just a few bites." said the fourth child.
"Okay, eat whatever you want." The boss said generously: "Let's go and take a bath."
"Why do they all like to call me? It's because I'm good at back-scrubbing." Little Fourth sighed.
The two brothers took their clothes and went next door to call Chen Bing. Chen Bing took his clothes and went to the bathhouse with them.
When Chen Rou and Han Guobin returned home, there were only a few dogs at home. Han Cheng had gone to her third aunt's house with Yaoyao after school and had not returned yet. The second child, Han Zhou, was taking extra classes and had not returned yet either.
"The fourth child must have been called by the eldest child to take a bath. Do you want to go take a bath together?" Chen Rou said to Han Guobin when she saw the fourth child's schoolbag was put there.
"I saw them rubbing it a few days ago." Han Guobin said.
"The eldest is like me, he likes to be clean, he has to scrub once every three days." Chen Rou said while still disdaining him: "Unlike you, you only scrub once a week."
"What's the matter? Do you dislike me?" Han Guobin asked.
"That's right, don't sleep alone with me at night, come out and sleep on the sofa." Chen Rou said.
Han Guobin pressed on, and the couple were playing on the sofa. When Han Cheng came back, he heard the playful noise before he even entered the door. He coughed dryly and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"Come in." Chen Rou said calmly.
Han Cheng went into the house and said with a smile, "I'm going back to my room. Dad and Mom, you guys continue. I didn't see anything."
"You even make your daughter laugh." Chen Rou cursed with a smile, then got up and went to the kitchen to stew pigeon soup.
Han Guobin was watching TV with a smile on his face.
The second, third and fourth children all went home at about the same time, and dinner was almost ready when they came back.
The eldest had some, the second oldest had some, but the others had none. There was only this baby pigeon left, and each person had a bowl of soup.
I had eaten the rest yesterday, so I had nothing to eat today.
"Brother, when you are free, go to the shop and weigh yourself to see how much weight you have gained. I guess it's at least ten pounds." Han Cheng said with a smile.
"You've gained weight, really gained weight. When I was rubbing your back when you first came back, you looked skinny. Today, you look really strong and full of meat." The fourth little brother nodded.
"You can tell he's fat just by looking at his face." The second brother also said.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly," Chen Rou said.
The family talked and laughed while eating. The eldest son took care of the dishes himself, and after cleaning up, they came over to watch TV together.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang came over.
As soon as Sister Chen Si came over, she called Chen Rou into the house.
"What's wrong?" Chen Rou looked at her fourth sister and couldn't help but ask, why does she look so weird?
"Little sister, this is really embarrassing." Sister Chen Si said a little embarrassedly.
"What's the matter?" Chen Rou looked at her puzzled.
"I'm afraid I'm pregnant." Sister Chen Si said embarrassedly.
Chen Rou was stunned for a moment, and looked at her sister in surprise: "Fourth sister, you are not wrong, are you? Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Not yet, but it's been postponed for ten days this month and it still hasn't come. I just remembered it today." Sister Chen Si said with an embarrassed look on her face.
She is already this old, who would have known that she still has it? I tried very hard with An Dabang back then. When we were young, we wanted to have another child, but we didn't. We thought we would never be able to have another child, so we didn't even get a vasectomy or use any contraception. There has been no news for all these years.
But who knew this actually existed?
But she is at this age now, it is really embarrassing.
"She must have recovered." Chen Rou said with a smile, "Let's go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. If she is really pregnant, what do you think? And what about my brother-in-law?"
"Dabang is a little worried that my body can't handle it." Sister Chen Si said, "But if I'm pregnant, I'll give birth to the baby. I hope it's a girl, but if it's a boy, I'll accept it, but I want to give birth to the baby."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Then give birth."
Chen Sijie didn’t tell her family about this news for the time being. She only told them after Chen Rou and Han Guobin went to bed that night.
Han Guobin was stunned for a moment and said, "At this age, isn't the pressure a bit too much?"
"Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to fight me again?" Chen Rou said to him.
"I'm just saying." Han Guobin, how could he really let his wife have another baby at her age? "Do they want to have this one?"
"My brother-in-law was also worried that he couldn't bear it because of his old age. But my sister wanted it at the time and she was looking forward to it. This was also an unexpected surprise." Chen Rou said.
At this age, this is truly a case of an old clam giving birth to a pearl.
The next day, Chen Rou came to the bun shop and waited for her fourth sister. Her fourth sister didn't arrive until almost ten o'clock. Chen Rou left the rest to Han Guoli and Aunt He to clean up, and then went to the hospital with her fourth sister.
The result of the examination was that she was pregnant.
And Sister Chen Si is now a truly elderly mother, so Chen Rou asked her to undergo a systematic examination and found that Sister Chen Si was in very good physical condition.
"There are no other major problems, but now that I'm old, I have to be more careful. I should eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more and rest more." said the director.
As for those who are covered by family planning, they don’t have a household registration here, so we have no right to restrict them coming here.
When the two sisters came out of the hospital, the smile on Sister Chen's face couldn't be brighter.
Chen Rou said with a smile: "When An Wen and An Wu come back this year, there will be a younger brother and sister in the family. The two brothers will be so excited that their eyes will pop out."
"Yes, yes, don't say anything, just wait for them to come back and see for themselves!" Sister Chen Si was extremely happy.
"Fourth sister, you have to pay attention to your nutrition and your body." Chen Rou said.
"How could I not know this? Don't worry, now that the conditions are met, I will go directly to the hospital to give birth in the future." Sister Chen Si said.
Chen Rou nodded and sent her fourth sister home first. After that, she came to the grocery store and told Han Guobin this.
Han Guobin was both envious and amused, he is already at this age.
Seven days later, the eldest brother left. The fourth brother was particularly reluctant to leave his eldest brother. When he sent his eldest brother to the car, he said: "Brother, if you are a virgin girlfriend, I won't say anything to you, but you have to wait for a while before getting married. Let's talk about it when I grow up a little bit."
"Why do we have to wait until you grow up?" Han Cheng said.
"I am reluctant to give my eldest brother to my eldest sister-in-law now." said the fourth child.
"Virtue." Han Cheng looked down on him, and then said to her elder brother: "Brother, have a safe journey!"
"If you miss home, you can come back whenever you want." Chen Rou said.
Han Hang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he hugged his mother, waved goodbye, and got in the car.
The car drove away at the appointed time.
Chen Rou took her daughter and youngest son home and said, "You have all grown up and will all fly away. By then, only your father and I will be left at home."
"I won't go to a far place to go to college in the future. I'll go to the provincial capital." Han Cheng said, holding her mother's arm.
"Oh, I can't promise you this. I want to join the army when I grow up. I have already made an agreement with Brother Sanhu." The fourth little brother sighed.
"You promised to study hard and go your own way in the future. Your father and I will stay in the county, right here at home. We won't go anywhere else. If you get tired outside, just come home." Chen Rou said.
"Mom." Han Cheng leaned on her mother's shoulder affectionately.
"Mom, you are so sentimental. You are almost making me cry." said the fourth little brother.
Chen Rou smiled and brought the two children to the grocery store. Han Guobin said, "Is the eldest in the car?"
"Yeah." Chen Rou responded.
"I'll go to Dayuan's place and have a seat." Han Guobin said.
"Go ahead." Chen Rou had no objection. Now that Li Dayuan was no longer in the convoy and she had cut off contact with the one in front, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
Han Guobin also came to find Li Dayuan.
Li Dayuan's shop was open, but he was the only one there. When he saw Han Guobin coming over, he smiled and said, "It's so cold, riding a bicycle, aren't you afraid of the cold?"
"I won't feel cold when I ride a bike," said Han Guobin.
"I think the car that Xiao Lao Si's godfather has is pretty good. Why not buy one?" Li Dayuan said with a smile.
"A sedan would definitely be good, especially a Hongqi brand. The key is that it's expensive. One costs tens of thousands. If I had that much money, I would convert my house into a small villa like yours." Han Guobin said.
Li Dayuan said: "It's not cheap to build a small house like that now."
Han Guobin asked, "How's business?"
"Business is still good." Li Dayuan said with a sigh: "It's just that I can't handle it alone when it's busy. My wife is nothing like my brother's wife. She goes to play mahjong every day. When I go home, I can't even have a hot meal. I have to cook for myself!"
The business that Guobin introduced to him is really good. The profit is definitely not as much as before, but he knows how to do business. He used to sell big items, so how could he not be able to do this little business?
Han Guobin's people delivered the goods to the store, and he just had to sell them. He made two or three hundred yuan a month, which was very good.
But he is so busy, running a shop by himself. Sometimes he is so busy that he has to hold his urine, and there is no one to replace him.
He must have told it when he got home, but what did his wife say? Wouldn't it be enough for him to hire an employee? Why does he have to ask her to go?
Listen to what you are saying. Our family conditions are like now. We can't still be the same as before. If we hire someone to help, the salary will have to be at least 60 or 70 yuan.
This has to be deducted from the profit of the shop. It's good to do it yourself, but it's really not cost-effective to hire someone.
"Go back and talk to your sister-in-law about it." Han Guobin said.
"I can't count on them. I'm satisfied as long as my family can give me a hot meal." Li Dayuan said, "She goes out to play mahjong every day. I don't even have enough money for her to play mahjong!"
