Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

Chapter 12 :- Invite to dinner

Han Aiguo paused, nodded, and said “It’s Good .”

Old Mrs. Han smiled even more happily.

  After dinner, Mrs. Han sat on a stool in the main room, asking Han Aimin to talk. Everyone knew that the old lady wanted to ask about the selling of mooncakes  , and everyone wanted to hear it, so they didn’t leave.

  Mrs. Han knew that this matter could not be hidden from everyone, so she did not chase them away and allowed them to listen here.

  Han Aimin told everyone what happened today. After that, he took out the tickets and money that Su Yue shared with him and handed them to Mrs. Han, “Mom, this is what Sister Su Yue shared with me. You keep it.”

Han’s third daughter-in-law was startled, “That’s so much, oh my, this is so profitable.”

At this time, rural people could only earn a few cents a day at work. As a result, Han Aimin earned so much in one day, how could it not be surprising ?

  Old Mrs. Han was also surprised, “Fourth, why are there so many? You didn’t take more of your sister Su Yue’s money, did you?”

“Mom, what are you talking about? How can I be such a person?” Han Aimin shouted in dissatisfaction , and then explained: “I’m not greedy for a penny. All the money from the sale was given to Sister Su Yue. Originally, Sister Su Yue gave me more, but I gave it back a little because making mooncakes requires oil, flour, sugar and so on.”

” She didn’t remove the money required for the raw material and directly gave me my share so I gave some money back as a share of the raw material . I can’t be greedy.”

  Before Mrs. Han could speak, Mrs. Han’s third daughter-in-law shouted: “Fourth, are you stupid? She gave it to you on her own and you give it back to her !”

  She looked pained, as if what she was giving back was her money.

  Old Mrs. Han was so angry that she spat at her, “Go away, you short-sighted thing. If it’s not your own hardwork then you can only take what you deserve. The fourth did the right thing. You have to be honest. You can’t be dissatisfied, otherwise no one would dare to associate with you!”

  Han’s third daughter-in-law shrank her neck after being scolded and did not dare to say a word.

  Old Mrs. Han snorted loudly, looked at Han Aimin and said: “Fourth, you did the right thing, and you will do the same in the future. Be a responsible person and don’t be greedy for small gains that don’t belong to you. God loves loyal people. You won’t suffer a loss. Your sister Su Yue is also a loyal and good child, so she won’t let you suffer a loss.”

  Han Aimin said hurriedly: “Mom, I know, don’t worry.” After saying that, he will always keep it in mind.

The basket that was not touched by anyone around him was handed to Old Mrs. Han, “Mom, these are the new mooncakes that my sister Su Yue made today. I will sell them tomorrow. You keep them.”

The reason why Old Mrs. Han was allowed to keep them was not Han Aimin was afraid that he would eat it secretly, but he was afraid that his nephews would eat it secretly.

He currently sleeps in the same room with his three nephews. This mooncake is so fragrant. If he puts it in his room, they will definitely get up in the middle of the night to eat it.

  This mooncake is so expensive, he would be heartbroken if it were eaten secretly.

  Old Mrs. Han also knew that the children at home might not be able to help but eat secretly, so she took the basket and said, “Don’t worry, I will put it in my room, and there won’t be any missing.”

The old lady spoke, and the children at home were all disappointed. They were so enchanted that they wanted to get directly into the basket of moon cakes.

  Not to mention children, even second and third daughter-in-law.

Every adult has desire in their eyes.

Who wouldn’t want to eat such delicious mooncakes?

  Mrs. Han patted the table majestically and warned everyone, “I’m telling you, none of you are allowed to have any ideas about these mooncakes. They have to be sold for money. If I catch anyone secretly trying to do something, I’ll ask them to pay ”

The children were immediately frightened and did not dare to look at the basket. Han third daughter-in-law laughed and said: “Mom, how can we have any ideas? You can rest assured.”

  Mrs. Han snorted: ” It’s best if you don’t have any idea. Fourth child, you have to get up early and go to town tomorrow morning. Take a shower and go to bed early tonight. Don’t be late  tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, mother, I’m going to bed now.” Han Aimin, who was excited to sell mooncakes was positive, and didn’t dare to delay tomorrow’s affairs. He took a quick shower and went to bed.

  Everyone saw that Mrs. Han put the mooncakes in the house to prevent them from seeing, so they all went back to their rooms to sleep.

  Old Mrs. Han did not sleep. She lit a kerosene lamp and carefully looked at the mooncakes in the basket under the lamp. The more she looked at it, the happier she became. She murmured in a low voice: “What if this girl becomes my son wife, I can wake up laughing even in my dreams.”

  ”Oh, but now that Eldest leg is broken, and he won’t be able to do heavy work in the future, such a girl should look down on Eldest. But maybe, this thing is about fate ? What can you say? Eldest is  calm, capable, responsible and loves his family. If he has a wife in the future, he will definitely love her very much. If one is looking for a husband , they will find one like him only, So maybe that girl will like him. ”

Old Mrs Han’s eyes lit up as she spoke, and she murmured to herself hopefully: “As long as we have more contact and she know’s how good  our family is, I’m sure he will catch her eye. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if I try. Let’s do this, On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask Xiao Su to come over to our house for a meal. She is a girl living so far away from home, and she doesn’t have any relatives to accompany her. She just happened to come to my house for a meal. Besides, she gave our family a chance to make money, we should thank her by a meal.”

  The more Mrs. Han muttered, the more she felt her idea was a good idea. She couldn’t help but smile and narrowed her eyes. She put away the mooncakes happily, then blew out the lamp and went to sleep. , the corners of her mouth are smiling in the dream.

  The next day, Han Aimin went to the textile factory’s family home again. Not only did he sell the mooncakes he brought, he also received many mooncake reservations.

 Han Aimin had been in primary school for a few years and could write basic numbers. He wrote down the number of each mooncake and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue hurriedly made a lot more mooncakes according to the number he gave. Then asked him to send it again.

 They have been busy like this for five or six days, and finally ended the business one day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

  Su Yue did the math and found that she had sold more than 30 moon cakes in the past few days, plus made thirty-two yuan and seventy cents.

After excluding the cost and the money shared with Li Xiaoqing and Han Aimin, she made a net profit of more than fifteen yuan , plus a lot of oil stamps, rice stamps, food stamps, etc, it was a great business.

  Su Yue was happy, she finally made money, and she was finally not so poor.

  What makes her most happy is that she took the time to make some other delicious and improved meals during this period, and earned more than ten points.

  While Su Yue was counting the money happily, the Han family was also happyily counting  the money.

  This time, Han Aimin received a total of just over five yuan and several tickets. This was a lot of money, enough for the family to use for a long time.

  Han’s second daughter-in-law said: “Now that the food at home is not enough, we can add money to buy it. We have a large family. When the autumn food comes, we can add money to buy more food, so that everyone does not have to go hungry.”

The Han family has a large population , there are also many children who cannot earn work points. Originally, what the family earned from working was not enough to feed the family, so they relied on Han Aiguo’s salary to support their lives. Now that he is injured and cannot work in the army, his monthly allowance was gone, and life at home suddenly became tense.

  Fortunately, Han Aimin now has another income from selling food, which makes everyone very happy.

  Han Lao Er said: “Thanks to Su Yue for giving our family the opportunity to make money this time. Without her, how could our family make so much money.”

  Han Lao San also echoed: “Yes, I want to thank Su Yue.” 

  Old Mrs. Han said with a smile: “Of course we have to thank Xiao Su. Our family has received a favor from her. There are so many people who can do this job, but she gave it to our fourth child. This is because she wants to help our family. But, we can’t just say thank you verbally, we have to express our gratitude substantively to be sincere.”

  Han Laoer nodded in agreement, “Yes! Mom, why don’t we bring some eggs to Su Yue as a thank you gift.”

Mrs. Han waved her hands with a smile, “Su Yue will definitely not accept our eggs. Let’s do this. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to ask Xiao Su to come to our house for a meal. She is an educated youth so far away from home , there is no family reunion, so why not come to our house to have a good time.”

  This was unanimously agreed by everyone, and they all said that Mrs. Han’s idea was a good one.

  Han third daughter-in-law immediately volunteered and said, “Mom, let me ask Su Yue to come to our house for dinner.”

  She had long wanted to have a good relationship with Su Yue. If there were any opportunities to make money in the future, she would ask her to do it. She also wants to make some money.

  But Mrs. Han said: “Where are you going? Don’t you have to go to work or do housework! Eldest , I’ll leave this matter to you. Go and invite Su Yue over for dinner, and take a breather and exercise your legs. .”

  Han Laosan thought that his mother wanted his eldest brother to go out and relax more, instead of holding back at home, so he immediately said to his wife: “Don’t get involved, let eldest brother go.”

Seeing that no one would let her go, Han’s third daughter-in-law lowered her head in displeasure, feeling depressed, feeling that the old lady was really partial and only wanted the eldest for all good things.

  Han Aiguo saw that his mother had said this. Although he was a little hesitant, he finally agreed to the old lady.

  This night it was Su Yue’s turn to cook. Everyone had eaten, and Su Yue was washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.

  While she was working, suddenly a child’s figure stretched out from the kitchen door. Half of the child’s body was hiding outside and did not dare to come in. It looked like he was seven or eight years old. His clothes were dirty, he had no shoes on, and there were two sticks hanging under his nose like a snot bubble.

  When Su Yue turned around, she almost screamed out in fright when she saw him. After taking a closer look, she realized that the child looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she had seen this child before. He was the youngest son of Mrs. Wang’s family next door, Zhuangzi. This child fell on his head when he was a child, hence it impacted his brain after that. The children and some adults in the village always liked to call him a little fool.

  Su Yue waved to him and asked with a smile: “Zhuangzi, why are you here? What’s the matter?”

  Zhuangzi didn’t dare to get too close. He sniffed his nose, pointed to the door with his finger, and then said quickly: “Someone’s looking for you in the woods.”

  After saying that, he ran away in a hurry. Su Yue wanted to stop him and ask who it was, but couldn’t as he ran away fast.

  Su Yue was very puzzled, who was looking for her this late at night, and why didn’t he just come in and ask her to go out?

  Could it be that he was plotting against her?

You really can’t blame her for being carefull. With her current appearance, many people are interested in her, including of course some unscrupulous second-rate people in the village.

This forced her to do something.

Su Yue thought about it and decided that she still has to go out, in case someone really wanted to see her and it was really inconvenient to come in. After all, there were five single girls living here.

  But she couldn’t just go out unprepared, so Su Yue took out the scissors in the kitchen, wrapped the tips in cloth, then secretly hid them in her trouser pocket, and went to get her homemade self-defense pepper water. Come out and put it in another pocket.

This should be enough to be safe.
