There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 11 The past of the Zhou family

After the whole family had dinner, Zhang Guoqing was also weak all over, and his body was a little bit unable to support it now. Let me talk to everyone first, go back to the room and lie down next to Zhou Jiao, and finally sleep with peace of mind.

Zhou Jiao was woken up by the crying of the child. She looked at the strange room in a daze. It took her a while to remember that they had traveled through time, and later gave birth to a son. She looked at Zhang Guoqing lying on the right and smiled.

Mother Zhang saw Zhou Jiao woke up while holding the child: Jiaojiao, don't move and lie down first. The child will lie next to you first, and Xiao Wu will let him sleep. His head injury is still not healed. Let's blow the cold wind outside for another day today. .I'll serve you something to eat first, and I'll take care of you and the child at night. My mother and I can do it.

Zhou Jiao was very happy to hear Zhang's mother's words, and there was a strong sense of pampering in her words. Thinking back to Zhang's mother who had a good memory, Zhou Jiao regarded her as her mother from the bottom of her heart.

Zhang's mother is partial to her youngest son. If she had let him go to sleep in the main room, she could sleep comfortingly. Zhou Jiao had just given birth to a son, and Zhang Guoqing had to go to the Yue's family to announce the good news tomorrow morning. There was no way to arrange for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take care of her. Seeing such a big commotion without being woken up, I secretly cursed the bums in Xialin Village, but forgot that those guys didn't get well, all of them had bruised noses and swollen faces, and even two of them had broken bones and were imprisoned by the militia .

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, Mom, it's all thanks to your old man being here, otherwise neither of us would be able to take care of the child. You look so small and we dare not hug you. Mother, look at this A small ball, red like a little monkey, so ugly, will it be impossible to marry a wife when it grows up?

Zhang's mother pretended to pat Zhou Jiao's arm, and said with a smile: You child, a child is born with a strong face, this kid is born with a weight of more than 6 catties, is honest enough, and looks very handsome. Don't be careful, Xiao Wu will go home to announce the good news tomorrow. Do you need to take a call?

Zhou Jiao heard Zhang's mother mentioned that her mother's family still lived for a while, so she hurriedly searched for it from her memory.

Yuanshen's identity is a bit embarrassing, how should I put it, Yuanyuan grew up with her grandmother, and her father died on the battlefield when she was just born.

Her grandma was the only daughter of the imperial physician's family in the early years of the capital. She grew up in a wealthy family and grew up with no fingers touching her. The other party is also a famous scholarly family. On the day of the wedding, before the bridal chamber was available, the boy from the Eighth/National/Allied/Army entered Beijing and arrested the man of his husband's family on the charge of harboring the Boxers, and bloodbathed the entire family.

Her grandma was still clever by relying on her personal servant girl, and after disguised, the two escaped from the small kitchen in the backyard and returned to their mother's house in the chaos. There was nothing the natal parents could do, plus they were worried about being implicated. The capital was in turmoil at that time, and everyone was in danger. The traditional medical skills and the gentleness of the belt survived in the countryside.

After a few years like this, great-grandfather and grandmother passed away, leaving the housekeeper and maids with Grandma Zhou at that time already struggling. By chance, I met my husband who grew up together. It turned out that the Boxers rescued Grandpa Zhou, the only surviving serious injury. When Grandpa Zhou went back to find the surviving family members, there was no one there, even the houses in the city were deserted, and he directly joined the army for revenge.

Then the couple followed the army directly, and after several twists and turns, they joined the people/people/army/team. The butler stays in the local area for the elderly, and the maid is also married. The husband and wife who have no worries have been fighting on the front line. Seeing that the child is growing up, the couple took Zhou Jiao's uncle, aunt, and father back to Zhoujia Village, the ancestral home of the Zhou family. Grandpa Zhou still had the extravagant hope that his family members would return home alive to pay respects to their ancestors' graves.

Later, the youngest son was Zhou Jiao’s father, who secretly signed up to join the army. During the period, he met Zhou Jiao’s mother Lin Lishan, a literary soldier in the army. Mom, after leaving a letter, she and Lin Lishan, the eldest brother of the Lin family, participated in a secret mission and died together. Lin Lishan couldn't accept it for a while. The two closest relatives just left without leaving a body. The blow couldn't take care of the newborn Jiaojiao, so the grandparents who came after hearing the news brought her back from the army to raise her.

Zhou's mother, Lin Lishan, was single and never remarried. She often said that she had to see a dead body when she died, and a person when she was alive. She felt that they had always been in this world, would always come back, and had been refusing to accept reality. I don't know what Zhou's mother came up with, except that the child support was sent year after year, and even Zhou Jiao didn't come back to participate in her marriage.

In Zhou Jiao's memory, she had never seen her mother except in the photos. I heard that she is still single and refuses many marriage proposals. Grandpa and grandma always comfort Xiao Zhoujiao. Her mother loves her, but she can't accept the reality of her husband's death and needs to give her time. But Zhou Jiao still blames her mother in her heart.

When I was young, my friends could act like a spoiled child to their mother, but besides pampering her grandparents, she actually had to watch her aunt's secret expression. The eldest aunt, Chen Zhaodi, enjoys the supplies and money that the Lin family often sends with peace of mind, while secretly jealous and envious of the sister-in-law who lost her husband. Zhou's mother's high-ranking background and beauty made her feel inferior and arrogant. What her grandparents couldn't see seemed to help several children in the family secretly bully little Zhoujiao. The things sent by the mother have to be picked by the cousin first, and the maintenance money remitted will be used by the public.

After finally growing up to be 10 years old, I already know the ways of the world and say that I want to find my mother. As a result, on the only phone call, my mother said in a cold voice that she had no time to see her when she was performing everywhere. Let her stay in her hometown and fulfill her father's filial piety. With tears in her eyes, she was completely disappointed. Since then, she has never mentioned her mother again, and even the letters she sent have not been touched.

Zhoujia Village and Zhangjia Village are the upper and lower villages, separated by a river, and the Qingshi Bridge connects the two villages. Zhoujia Village is closer to Dashanli. Grandpa Zhou is a revolutionary veteran, and Grandma Zhou was a military doctor when she was young. The couple are very respected in the local area.

Zhou Jiao, the daughter of the Zhou family, is beautiful. I heard that her grandparents are soldiers, and so are her uncles. Her mother is also a soldier. Soldiers are very popular in this era. Except for the workers, food, housing and clothing for soldiers are all provided by the state, as well as wages are paid every month, and military tickets are used nationwide, and there is no need to queue up to buy them first when going to supply and marketing cooperatives.

Except for the accidental death of Zhou's father, no one knows that little Zhou Jiao has never seen them since she was sensible, except for receiving clothes from her grandfather's house and remittances from her mother every year. She said she cared for the children and never saw them pick her up.

I just occasionally heard my aunt whisper a few words, such as the first uncle and Dad Zhang died together, where the second uncle was stationed abroad, grandpa is a big man who can't leave to visit his old comrade-in-arms, his grandpa, and her grandma is seriously ill again, etc. wait. Sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are really weird. They are so beautiful and don't remarry or raise a daughter, so they can safely throw them away in their hometown. Yes, they just throw them away.
