Chen Rou’s meal was almost ready when Han Zhou came back from school.
This is the second semester of the second year of high school. Although it is not yet the sprint stage, the school is still very strict.
Just like when she was the eldest brother, Chen Rou couldn’t help with other things, but she made sure to prepare three meals a day.
The dishes are all very nutritious, including winter melon and shrimp soup, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork belly arranged on a plate, braised duck with mushrooms, and stewed spare ribs.
The fourth child especially likes to come here and eat for free.
It’s not that the food the nanny cooks is not delicious, it’s mainly because of the atmosphere here. The whole family gathers together, talking and laughing while eating, and drinking two glasses of red wine. Is there anything better than this?
After dinner, they watched TV and chatted together. Little Lao Si went to wash the dishes with a sad face, and Yaoyao smiled and helped him.
It was almost half past nine when the fourth brother drove home.
Han Guobin went back to the house. Chen Rou asked without looking up while pounding on the abacus: "Didn't the fourth brother stay to sleep with his godson?"
"I have something to do tomorrow, so I'm going back." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou didn't say anything. The fourth brother was a frequent visitor to their home and often stayed overnight and had breakfast.
"Wife, how is the account book going?" Han Guobin said with a smile.
"Your factory is currently in a stage where its income is not enough to cover its expenses. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard," said Chen Rou.
Apart from the factory, everything else is naturally profitable. And with the rise in prices, the prices of many things have gone up, and the profits have increased a lot compared to last year.
After calculating this number, Chen Rou was quite satisfied.
Han Guobin said as he changed into his pajamas: "The factory is still running at a loss, but if you wait a little longer, soon you will have a factory that can equal all our shops."
Chen Rou packed up her account books and abacus and said, "Then I look forward to your performance report."
"Then look forward to it, my wife. It's getting late, it's time to wash up and rest." Han Guobin said.
Chen Rou came out with him to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then went to bed together.
Although Chen Rouren did not go to Han Guobin's factory after it opened, she was still very busy because the factory was not recruiting an accountant at the moment and the original accountant had attitude problems and was fired by Han Guobin.
Currently, Chen Rou is in charge of the factory's accounts. She will personally check every purchase and shipment list that is handed to her.
So even though the person didn't go there, Chen Rou was clear about the current state of the factory.
It is certainly not comparable to the old factory, but the factory is like a new sun, in a rising stage.
Especially since the factory still pays by piecework, there is no fixed salary. If you work hard, you can get about 150 or 160 yuan a month, which is a very high salary in the factory. If you work slowly, you can only get about 120 or 130 yuan.
Even though society is developing very fast and prices are rising fast, the wage level is still like this, not very high. It is a very common wage level.
The nanny hired by the third room is paid 120 yuan a month, which does not include food and accommodation, and she has to go to and from get off work by herself.
In April, when Chen's mother had some free time, she came to the city.
I am mainly concerned about my son-in-law's factory opening.
In fact, for a conservative like Chen's mother, there is no need to open a factory, especially when it costs so much money.
After all, even if he didn't take the risk of opening this factory, the son-in-law would definitely make a lot of money.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Let him do whatever he wants. Even if he loses everything, he still has other businesses to support him. If he likes, just let him do whatever he wants."
This was the truth. She was not really worried that Han Guobin would lose money, because even if he did, the other shops could make up for his losses.
She also knew what kind of person Han Guobin was. He was not someone who liked to do stupid things.
Of course, the most important point is that she feels that men who are busy with their careers are more attractive and more energetic.
So there is nothing wrong with opening this factory. As I said before, let Han Guobin do it, and she will take care of these small businesses, so the family will not go hungry.
Mother Chen smiled and said, "You are getting better and better at making trouble now. Your fourth sister and your brother-in-law should just stay at the shop quietly. I think they are making a lot of money."
Chen Rou just smiled and said nothing.
Chen's mother then asked about the situation on her mother-in-law's side. Although her relationship with Han's mother was not very good, she still had to maintain an acceptable relationship with her.
Chen Rou said: "It's almost time to get off the bed."
After all, he is old and has only recovered about 70% after so long of treatment. Chen Rou has never visited him, but Han Guobin goes to check on him every few days.
Since Chen's mother was in the city this time, she naturally had to go and visit. Since they were relatives, she had to consider her son-in-law's face even if she didn't consider the old lady's feelings.
After lunch, the fourth child brought his grandmother over.
Chen's mother also gave the fourth child twenty yuan and told him not to tell his mother and to keep it for himself.
"Grandma, I feel embarrassed to take your money now. I'm so grown up." The fourth child, who has grown very fast in height, is now almost 1.7 meters tall, much taller than his sister.
I used to be really thick-skinned and accepted everyone who came to me, but now that I’ve grown up, I feel embarrassed.
"Why should you feel embarrassed about giving you pocket money? It's not like I need this little money." Mother Chen said with a smile as she looked at her tall and handsome grandson.
The fourth little boy chuckled and shamelessly accepted his grandmother's love.
When the grandparents and grandchildren came over, Chen's mother didn't take any other good things or nutritional supplements, but asked her little grandson to bring a few pounds of eggs, just as a token of her appreciation.
Come over to take a look, stay for a while and chat, then come back soon.
The fourth child was not happy about it, and he came back and told his father: "My grandma went there, but my grandma was so indifferent to her. She was not as enthusiastic as the nanny!"
Mother Chen said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your grandma is not feeling well. Just let her rest more."
How could Han Guobin not know what kind of temper his mother has? He can imagine the scene just by thinking about it.
Now his mother really didn't even give him this last bit of face. When he saw the third brother's mother-in-law coming over, his mother was so enthusiastic.
Han Guobin apologized to his mother-in-law. Chen's mother was worried and told him not to think too much and just live his own life.
Han Guobin didn't say much, but probably only Chen Rou knew how disappointed he was in his heart.
He used to go there once every three or four days, but later he didn't go there for a week.
Moreover, last time Han Guolin wanted to take his father to visit the factory, Han Guobin asked them to go by themselves. Zhang Jiang was there, so he was too lazy to go.
But he personally took his mother-in-law into the car and brought her to the factory for a tour.
Not only did Chen's mother live here, she also stayed at Fourth Sister Chen's house for two days to help look after her little granddaughter, who was very plump and fair.
After taking a tour around the city, Chen's mother returned to her hometown.
Also brought back were new clothes and shoes bought for me by the sister Chen Rou and Chen Sijie. They insisted on buying them even when I was asked not to, and even asked me to throw away the old ones.
But Chen's mother, who had lived through hard times, couldn't bear to throw it away. She gave one to her sister-in-law because she couldn't finish wearing it herself.
Chen Rou in the city is still taking care of her family, and this is how she lives her life day by day.
The next year, Han Zhou, the second oldest son, also took the college entrance examination. His score was not as good as his older brother's, but it was also an excellent result that ranked among the best in the province.
He also got admitted to Beijing, but he applied to the Film Academy.
He was going to study film. When the whole family found out, they were all surprised.
I never thought that the second brother would have such a plan. He wants to be a movie star.
But the second child was admitted and went to Beijing before school started. Han Cheng, Han Baozhu and Yaoyao also went to Beijing with him.
They all went to Beijing to play together, but the fourth child did not go. Sanhu invited him to spend the summer vacation in the camp, but halfway through his time there he took a bus to Beijing.
The brat is not very old, but he can do anything and no one needs to worry about him. He also made a contribution on the train, the contribution of kidnapping a child.
It was he who discovered the abnormality, and finally he led the police on the train to arrest the man. He also worked with the police comrades to follow the clues and bust a child trafficking gang!
He, who did good deeds without leaving a name, went to Beijing happily.
This year he also found out that his family had a yard in Beijing, which his mother and Aunt Ling bought when they came here to visit last year.
But he didn't know the location, so he went to Hua University to look for his elder brother. Before he could ask the gatekeeper, he saw Sister Chuchu coming out of the school holding his elder brother's arm.
Is there any need to say anything about this? It must be that the two of them are just friends.
When he came to the courtyard, he found that his second brother and his sisters were used to it and obviously knew about it. The fourth brother was not surprised, but he still called his mother to gossip, saying that his eldest brother had become wise and was living in the same room with his sister Chuchu!
Chen Rou: “…” Although she had heard her daughter gossiping over the phone, she didn’t know they were living together.
Chen Rou was also worried that the girl would be wronged, so she told Han Guobin, how about letting the two young people get engaged first?
Han Guobin had no objection, so he called his eldest son to talk about it.
Han Hang, the son-in-law, is also recognized by the Lin family. He often goes home with Lin Chu to have dinner. The old Lin family is also happy to hear about the two young people.
Of course, this is based on the fact that Han Hang is excellent and his family will not hold him back. The yard that Chen Rou bought last year is a big plus.
Although my family is from the countryside, we are able to afford a yard like that so our conditions are not bad.
In this day and age, you don’t have to worry about whether you have a rural or Beijing household registration. If you live here for a long time and work, you can move here. The company will accept you and it won’t cost you a penny.
So the two families hit it off.
Chen Rou was very generous. Even though they were engaged, she still bought a whole set of gold jewelry for her future daughter-in-law Lin Chu.
There are earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin even made a special phone call to Gu Chengyao to ask if he was free. If so, they could bring Mianmian along for dinner.
Gu Chengyao happened to be free and could take a few days off, so he came over to support the event.
Gu Chengyao’s current position is major general, and the next rank up is lieutenant general. He and Su Mianmian dressed up together, and they are a perfect match.
It is particularly honorable to be called Chen Rou.
The fourth brother and Ma Yuling also went there together.
The engagement banquet wasn't a big one, just a meal between the two families, but they did invite some of their better relatives and friends to go over to lighten the mood and also to be witnesses.
The marriage was arranged, and Han Hang and Lin Chuke were now an engaged couple.
Chen Rou felt relieved. After all, this way no one would gossip about them, and she could just let the young people go on their own.
It’s just that these two people were really moving too fast. Or rather, it was an accident.
Lin Chu became pregnant right after graduating from college. Chen Rou and Han Guobin were stunned when they heard their boss Han Hang call and tell them.
They really are not prepared at all to be grandparents!
But the accident came so suddenly.
Now that they have a child, they must be preparing for marriage. Both parties don't want Lin Chu to get married with a big belly, so they got it done quickly.
They first came back to the city to entertain guests, and then went to Beijing to hold a banquet. After the two of them got the marriage certificate, they became a legitimate couple.
Han Hang continued his studies, while Lin Chu took a year off and continued his studies after the birth of his child. Both of them had to continue their studies.
The child was raised in Beijing until he was six months old and then sent back here.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin are not even fifty years old, but they already have their first grandson. The family hired a nanny to help, and it doesn't take much effort.
The eldest couple are busy, so it’s okay for them, as grandparents, to help take care of their grandchildren.
Han Guobin also loves his grandson very much and often drives his car to take him to the factory. Now the factory has developed well. When the trucks go south to buy home appliances and come back, there are always many products sent to the south together.
The factory makes money, but so do the other shops.
The eldest brother and his wife continued their studies. Although they did not have jobs, they received scholarships, so they did not need their parents to support them and could live a good life.
However, Chen Rou and Han Guobin would still give them a lump sum of several thousand yuan every year. This was a subsidy for the couple and also meant that they didn't have to live too tightly.
Although they are married and have children, they are still studying and are not playboys. There is nothing wrong with their parents having some money to support them.
The second oldest, Han Zhou, was studying acting. He was luckier, as he was chosen to act in a movie only two years into his university career while still in school.
When the eldest grandson Han Jun was in primary school, the second son had already gained some fame, but he was too busy and did not even have time to come back for the New Year.
The family house had been rebuilt when the eldest son got engaged, and a three-story building was built.
The family bought a car early on. After all, the factory was open and he was a real big boss, so he bought it.
After her family built a building, Chen Gongan and Ma Yuling next door also built their own, but their buildings were similar.
Ma Yuling didn't hire a nanny to help with the housework, and she regretted it so much that she had to wash the three-story building. She should have built a two-story building earlier!
I don’t know when it started, but when the elders noticed, Yaoyao and Chen Bing were already holding hands.
Yaoyao studied at a normal college and now she is a Chinese teacher in a high school in the city. Chen Bing is a civil servant and has also returned to the city.
I don't know how the two of them got along well.
But the adults were very happy when they found out. They grew up together and knew each other well. What's wrong with that?
It took only half a year for the two to go public and get married.
On the night of her wedding, Yaoyao had a dream. She dreamed that her life was very unhappy. She was dissatisfied with everything. She despised her parents for being too poor. She was also very petty and liked to scheme against others. However, in the end, she ended up with a broken family.
In her dream, she saw that her second aunt was a powerful woman and no one could get any advantage from her. Her second uncle was also different from the one in her dream.
Although he also worked as a truck driver, he was later forced to be laid off. After that, he ran a grocery store with his second sister-in-law. However, he looked listless and rarely smiled.
He doesn’t own the biggest appliance store in the city, nor does he own a big factory. He is just an ordinary person.
The second aunt is also very powerful. Her grandparents can't get a penny from her. She has a bad relationship with her family, not to mention her third uncle, who is almost their enemy.
She also saw in her dream that her brothers Hang, Zhou, Chengzi and Qifan did not have such high education and opportunities. They had all gone south to work long ago and were not living well and were all rather poor.
The dream lasted so long that Yaoyao could still see traces of her own tears on her pillow when she woke up in the morning.
Chen Bing misunderstood and felt very guilty, saying that he had lost his sense of propriety last night and had wronged her.
Yaoyao hit him lightly.
In the dream, she married someone else instead of Chen Bing. However, that kind of marriage was really terrible. Fortunately, it was just a dream, not reality.
Yaoyao told this dream to her second aunt as a funny story.
Chen Rou just smiled after hearing this and told her to manage her life well and not worry about those unnecessary things.
Yaoyao got married first, but Han Cheng didn't get married so soon.
She didn't start dating until she was 28 years old. He was a comrade-in-arms of the fourth brother Han Qifan in the army.
The fourth brother joined the army. He went to a military academy in college and joined the army directly after graduation. He did very well there. He was not with Sanhu and his brothers. They all developed in their own ways, but they would get together occasionally when they were free.
The fourth brother went to Beijing to visit his sister when he had some rare free time. His comrade-in-arms was also from Beijing, so they simply came together.
When he came over and saw someone, it was a big deal. After seeing Han Cheng who worked in the hospital, he began to pursue her fiercely.
The fourth brother didn't know at first, but when he found out he was very angry. His skills were almost the same as his comrades, but his comrades didn't dare to fight back and just let him beat them up!
I treat you as a brother, but you actually want to seduce my sister, especially since you are two years younger than my sister. Aren’t you ashamed?
But he was not ashamed. Not only that, he used his infatuation to win over his sister and coaxed her to transfer to the military hospital.
Once the marriage is concluded, he will call the other person brother-in-law.
But considering that she gave birth to a niece who was as delicate as a doll, she didn't bother with him.
The fourth brother didn't get married so quickly. This guy waited until he was in his early thirties to get married. When he got married, his second brother, the big star, had already given birth to a child, also a rich girl, a very cute girl.
After their four children all had their own families, Chen Rou and Han Guobin were really relieved.
They were also very fair and told their children that if they wanted to raise the children themselves they could do so, and if they wanted to send them back to their hometown, they would help.
However, the eldest couple had to go to school and had no time to take care of the children, so there was no need to send the others home and they could take care of them themselves.
Han Guobin and Chen Rou did not give anything else, but each of them prepared a wedding house for their children in Beijing. They were not in the same community, but they were the same size.
You really need a house when you are outside. Brothers An Wen and An Wu have both bought houses in Shanghai and settled down there.
Chen Sijie and An Dabang both live in the county town, along with the graceful and elegant Xiao Mi Ya who is already in high school.
Sister Chen said that she had bought them a house, so the couple’s mission was accomplished. It was up to them to decide how they lived in the future. They didn’t care anymore.
Chen Rou's steamed bun shop was later closed and rented out to someone else.
Song Xiaoyu originally wanted to come and rent the place, but she was a step too late. She first rented it to her nephew from her mother's side, but when she came over, the contract had already been signed with the tenant, so it was naturally impossible for him to rent it to her.
Chen Rou had no such intention. She didn't want to have any contact with Song Xiaoyu, and Song Xiaoyu had aged a lot over the years.
Life is not bad, it’s just that there are many bad things.
Brothers Han Si and Han Bo seldom go home now.
Han Si's wife is a college student who came from the mountains. He started dating her after college. After Song Xiaoyu brought her home to see her, she was very dissatisfied.
Naturally, he disliked her background.
However, this girl had a very strong sense of self-esteem and broke up with Han Si directly.
But sometimes fate is such a wonderful thing. After graduation, we joined the same company. We didn’t talk to each other anymore, so we got together again.
Song Xiaoyu didn't even let Han Si into the house when he was brought back, because she wanted her son to marry someone from the city, not someone from the mountains, even if she was a college student. But college students are not rare nowadays, and her son is also an excellent college student, so is she still afraid that he won't find a good one?
This time Han Si was angry, and his wife was angry too, but they got married anyway because she was pregnant, so they had to get married.
Han Si and I got on the bus first and bought the tickets later. Because Song Xiaoyu didn't agree, Han Si didn't host any wedding banquet.
We didn't invite him here, but we held a banquet in his wife's hometown.
But because she was rejected twice, Han Si's wife never came back. Although Han Si would occasionally take a bus back, it was rarely.
Song Xiaoyu complained a lot.
Han Bo also has a girlfriend, who meets Song Xiaoyu's requirements. She is from the provincial capital and her family is very well off, so Song Xiaoyu naturally became quite enthusiastic about her.
A two-story building was built behind the house, which is also quite impressive.
But after the wedding is over, Song Xiaoyu will have to act like a mother-in-law. How can a daughter-in-law sleep until noon and not get up to offer tea to her mother-in-law?
The custom here is that one must stay for seven days after marriage before leaving, but Han Bo's wife didn't even stay for three days and just left with her suitcase.
Han Bo must have followed her, and he didn't come back for years.
Han Si's family also did not come back. It was supposed to be a lively New Year's Eve, but the house was so deserted.
Song Xiaoyu cried that year.
She went over and cried to Han Guoli, asking her what sin she had committed to allow two troublemakers to come into the house!
Zhang Jiang was particularly disgusted. He took his grandson in his arms and went straight to his second uncle's place. He didn't even think it was unlucky during the New Year!
It’s hard to say whether Han’s father and mother’s later years were good or bad.
Fortunately, there is a nanny to take care of me, and I also get some pocket money from my second wife every month. It can be said that this is a very enviable thing.
But if there is one bad thing, it is that there is no peace at home.
Song Xiaoyu's mother-in-law didn't show off her status, but she often scolded her daughter-in-law. Almost all the neighbors knew about her family's affairs.
Later, Han's father still wanted to come over to eat with the second wife. Han's mother was reluctant to come, but Han's father wanted to come.
But Chen Rou did not agree. Han Guobin also said that there was a nanny over there and it would be fine to live there. Besides, he had been living there all along. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the third brother if he came to live here?
Han's mother lived to be eighty years old, and Han's father lived a little longer than her, at eighty-eight, which is considered a relatively long life.
After the two elders passed away, the nanny naturally left.
Han Si's wife and Han Bo's wife came back together to celebrate the New Year that year. They had made an appointment with each other, otherwise they would not have wanted to come back.
Only this time did I find out that the nanny was not hired by our family, but was hired by the second wife to take care of the child.
Han Si's wife and Han Bo's wife both cooked, but their cooking skills were average, so Song Xiaoyu, who was used to eating the food cooked by the nanny, despised them.
Han Si's wife is fine, but Han Bo's wife never even washed vegetables when she was at her parents' home. After she got married, she had to do this and that, and when she lived with Han Bo, it was Han Bo who did all these things.
Before going home, she promised Han Bo that she was willing to listen to him and cook. However, she almost cut her hand while cutting vegetables and was still despised in the end.
Han Si’s wife threw away her chopsticks.
Song Xiaoyu was so angry that she had a very bad temper.
So much so that she had a quarrel with Han Bo when she returned to her room, which made Han Bo sullen all day long at home. The couple left in the second year of the Chinese New Year.
Han Si and his wife also drove back to his mother's hometown to visit.
Han Guolin came to his second brother's house. His second brother's whole family, except for the big star Han Zhou who did not go home for the New Year, all the others came back.
It was very lively, with the grandchildren running around, which made Han Guolin feel uncomfortable.
He didn't go home for dinner, but stayed with his second brother to eat together.
It was only the second day of the Chinese New Year, and Song Xiaoyu was the only one left at home. She ate her meals without any appetite.
But even so, what does it matter? Do you still want her to bow down to her two daughters-in-law? That's impossible!
She has been strong all her life, and even her parents-in-law had to live their lives according to her wishes in their later years. And in the end, she still has to be suppressed by her two daughters-in-law? What are you thinking about!
Han Guolin and Song Xiaoyu both lived in the county town. Their two sons seldom came back, but they lived their lives that way.
Chen Rou and Han Guobin lived a much more comfortable life in their later years.
Han Guobin later became interested in traveling, but Chen Rou actually preferred a stable life. She liked to settle down in the county town so that she would have no worries about food and clothing. Although the life in the last life was just that, her thoughts were deeply rooted.
But Han Guobin liked it, so Chen Rou followed him.
I accompanied him on a tour of China, and also went abroad with him to experience the customs and cultures of other countries.
From time to time, I would go to live in a courtyard house in Beijing for a while. Since the house was no longer rented out, I would ask a part-time worker to clean it in advance before I left.
Live a very relaxed and comfortable life.
Grandchildren will see the photos shared by their grandparents on their social media accounts, and this is what they call their grandparents who get younger and younger as they grow older.
Especially my grandfather, he also learned photography techniques, and the photos he took are particularly beautiful.
Once they heard from their eldest uncle's brother that a foreign friend wanted to hook up with their elegant and beautiful grandmother, but was chased away by their grandfather with a stern face.
