There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing drove away from the village and headed towards the main road to the provincial capital. Looking at my mother-in-law from time to time in the mirror, seeing her red and swollen eyes, I sighed secretly.

Zhang's mother kept persuading and comforting her. I wondered to myself why this girl was crying so much, both handkerchiefs were wet. As a mother, I didn't see the child thinking about it, and I was even more reluctant to see it. Think about how my little five lived in school when he was in junior high school. I didn’t eat well, and no one was at ease. I always worried about my child being bullied and starving at school. The capital is far away from here by thousands of mountains and rivers, and I feel even more sympathetic to her.

After Lin Lishan calmed down, she smiled apologetically at her. Finally discovering the packages in the car, she looked at Mother Zhang in shock, Sister, these are not all for me, are they? I can't bring so many, and they have been mailed back before. It can't really be for me. Then Too much to eat.

Mother Zhang saw her open her mouth in surprise, and pointed at the package in disbelief. Immediately burst out laughing, this girl just realized that she is quite dull. Fortunately, I finally stopped crying. Otherwise, she would cry with her.

It's not for you. We are for Jiaojiao's grandfather, her aunt and aunt. They are all in the capital, so you can take them there. You have already sent a lot to Jiaojiao's second uncle in the northwest. Wait a little longer In the past few days, they had almost eaten there, so I asked Xiao Wu to send it over.

There are a few relatives in the capital, big sister, you can figure it out by yourself, help me share it with them, I asked Xiaowu to pack it together. It looks like a lot, but it's not much. When several families are separated, it means meaning.

You tell those relatives not to send packages over in the future, the children will not lack food or clothing here. They have children to take care of, so how can they spare time to take care of Jiaojiao?

Take your time. Let's take you to the train. Let Xiao Wu carry these things. He has great strength. You just get in the car and he will arrange it. After you get on the train, as soon as the train leaves, we will send a telegram to her grandfather in the provincial capital, asking Xiao Zhou to pick you up in a small car. Do not worry. We have all arranged properly.

Hearing this, Lin Lishan looked at her with tears in her eyes, Sister, my Jiaojiao has been taken care of by you since she was a child, and now you are loving her. I am happy for this child and grateful in my heart. I don't even know how to repay her. You. Haven't figured out how to thank you yet. Now you're taking care of everything, and Zhang Luo brings me back so much, how can I be ashamed?

Zhang's mother took her hand, patted her lightly, and said to her: What is there to be grateful for? Jiaojiao is still my daughter-in-law. We don't need to be polite, we are all a family. Don't say those outside words , You listen to me, take these back, and express your affection to the children and elders.

You happily accept it, and treat me as your elder sister. Seeing that you are straight, you don't have twists and turns in your stomach. I'd love to be with you. From now on, come and visit us often and see the three of them. When they return to the capital in two years, I will often visit you, and then you will show me the capital too. We don't talk about those hypocrisy.

Lin Lishan nodded while listening with a smile, Okay, big sister said so, this time I will not be polite to accept it. But next time I can't do that.

That's right. I like your temperament. You don't have any ink marks. You can say whatever you want just like me.

Seeing the two parents in the car, they chatted all over the world. Zhang Guoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he had the foresight. Take his mother and see. It's all done.

Speeding all the way finally arrived at the provincial capital railway station. Zhang Guoqing stopped directly at the gate, got out of the car and took his mother-in-law's work card, and successfully bought a sleeper ticket.

Nowadays, there is no certain position in this year, so don't even think about buying a sleeper. Unless you have a relationship in private, you can only squeeze your legs with numbness, squeeze in the crowd, stay up for days and nights, and arrive at the station in a mess.

Seeing that the time for the train to the capital is almost up, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the time when I go to the hotel. Lin Lishan insisted on eating in the car. How about saying Ginger is still old and spicy?

Zhang's mother baked the pancakes early in the morning, just for Lin Lishan to eat slowly on the way. Knowing that this big girl is an elegant person, I specially added big elbows that were marinated last night, and carefully cut into slices, so that it is convenient to eat on the train. She knew that she would have to stay on the train for three days and three nights, eating, drinking, and sleeping on the train, so there was not enough meat to make.

Zhang Guoqing quickly took the scallion pancakes and big elbows prepared by his mother, and stuffed them into the eating bag outside. He asked them to sit in the car and wait for him to come back, and left in a hurry.

Yesterday at the train station to see off the old man, the station master Zhang held hands with him, and enthusiastically said that they are from the same family, so feel free to contact him if you have anything to do. If you don't find him, when are you waiting? Relationships are meant to be like this, with comings and goings, gradually getting familiar with each other. Before I bought a ticket, I wanted to find the other party. It was because the soldiers didn’t have to queue up and could easily buy a sleeper berth, and it was the departure station, so the seats wouldn’t be tight.

Zhang Guoqing knocked on the stationmaster's office with a smile on his face, and the other party was surprised to see him. The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and when Zhang Guoqing explained his purpose, the stationmaster Zhang hurriedly took him outside and asked the staff, where is the conductor of the train bound for the capital today?

After seeing Comrade Liu Ming, the conductor of the train, it seems that in just a short while, there are many documents waiting for the signature and approval of the station chief. Zhang Guoqing repeatedly refused Zhang Zhang's personal hospitality.

In a hurry, stationmaster Zhang handed him a note with his work phone number and home address on it. Let me tell my nephew Zhang Guoqing to come to him if he needs anything. If you have nothing to do, come and sit down. Zhang Guoqing bid farewell to the other party, feeling secretly in his heart that this is a human spirit. No wonder he took the position of station master.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Comrade Liu Ming, the conductor of the train, took him to a detour and went straight back to the gate, and dragged the prepared trolley to unload five large packages from the car. After that, he went directly to the platform and got into the sleeper box.

Along the way, Zhang Guoqing has already called the other party brothers and sisters, saying Brother Liu in one mouthful. After the other party warmly entertained him, he begged him again and again to take care of his mother-in-law in the car, as long as he was around and left alone. Especially when I went to the Beijing platform to help watch, and waited for the family to send a car to pick her up. Again, I asked Liu Ming to come to the house to have a drink when he was free.

Until the staff on the car came to ask him for instructions, Liu Ming still held him. Let Zhang Guoqing go to his house to play before the New Year, and wrote the address to him personally.

Zhang Guoqing nodded straight with a smile on his face, saying that he would definitely visit him a year ago, and he would have a few drinks anyway. Urging him to do business first, the two brothers will have plenty of time in the future.

Seeing that the train was about to leave, Liu Ming was also busy arranging affairs. Zhang Guoqing took two rabbits from Zhang's mother and stuffed them for Liu Ming to eat on the way. Ignoring the other party's refusal, Zhang Guoqing bid farewell to him directly. I am afraid that the ink will go down.

He took his mother off the train, came to the window outside the sleeper car, stood there, and listened to his mother-in-law's repeated instructions. Watching his mother and mother-in-law say goodbye reluctantly.

Lin Lishan has been watching Zhang Guoqing and the other party communicate and put things away. Neither of them delays. Just for a while, the other party has already patted his chest, and he can just buy tickets and bring things to him in the future. He looked at Zhang Guoqing with a smile in his eyes. This kid is well-organized and able to do things with ease. No wonder the old man praised him. This child is a genius, and he missed the other party's background in a few words, and he didn't notice it yet.

The train whistle blew uh-uu-uu, Lin Lishan said loudly to Zhang Guoqing, she must take good care of Jiaojiao, and the two of them will live a good life. Let her do everything. Be sure to take Zhang's mother to visit the provincial capital.

Seeing the train start slowly more, more and then leave. Zhang Guoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at his mother again, his face was also relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing with his mother.
