There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

With the arrival of winter, Mrs. Cheng has become more and more tired recently, and even after falling asleep, she saw her adoptive father, adoptive mother and eldest sister Gu Mingzhu in her dreams several times.

She always had a hunch that her time limit was up.

When people get old, they always like to recall the past.

Leaning on the rattan chair, the old lady somehow remembered the sorceress who took Zhou Jiao to see her face that year.

Opening her sleepy eyes from the sun, she looked at the sky. She couldn't sit still, so she picked up the quilt on her lap and stood up.

Hearing the movement, Mr. Cheng opened his eyes and closed them again, If you want to get something, you can call auntie.

Forget it, walking around is good for your health.

Hearing what she said, Mr. Cheng knew that his old wife wanted to go out, so he sat up immediately, I'll accompany you.

You forgot that you have an appointment with your old friend? I'll go find Jiaojiao.

Cheng Lao looked at her amusedly, So I went to find Jiaojiao, let's go, let Xiaozhu drive you there, just in time to pick up the child from get off work.

This little Zhu is not the little Zhu who is next to Zhang Guoqing, and the guard who is next to the old man, Xiao Chen, has changed people in the past twenty years, but the aunt is still the original aunt.

The old lady reported an address after getting in the car, Xiao Zhu was startled in surprise, then recovered her expression, and didn't ask why she changed the place. His job is to protect the chief's safety and obey orders.

That area was full of alleys, and after going around in circles, Xiao Zhu took the wrong alley, and finally found the place under the instructions of the old lady.

This is not to blame for Xiao Zhu, who came here again after twenty years, the name of the alley has long been changed, and the stone lions in several courtyards in the alley have long been destroyed.

The old lady found an old man passing by and learned that the owner of the yard was still there. After thanking her, she got in the car and was silent for a while, and asked Xiao Zhu to take her to pick up Zhou Jiao first.

Although she used Zhou Jiao as a cover to hide from her wife before, but now she suddenly realized that it would be inappropriate for Xiao Zhu, who was wearing a military uniform, to come to the door carelessly.

Zhou Jiao didn't care when she saw a small car not far from the gate when she went out after get off work. Without special circumstances, Zhang Guoqing would not pick her up to and from get off work all day long, not to mention that he has meetings these days.

When she saw Xiao Zhu getting out of the car and approaching, she realized that it should be the old lady. She raised her hand to stop her and then quickly approached the car.

Sure enough, she was a kind old lady with a smile on her face.

Auntie, why are you here all the time? Give me a call and I'll find you. Is it cold?

The old lady beckoned, and when she got into the car, she held onto her hand and pinned her fine hair behind her ears with a smile, looking at her with extremely loving eyes.

Haha...it's not cold, it's warm in the car. Are you tired from working all day?

Zhou Jiao shook her head with a smile.

The elders of other people's families are all ordered to work hard and strive for success. In her family, not only the old lady, but even her father often said that if you are too tired, don't do it.

Xiao Zhu, let's go back. The old lady winked at her, Not curious?

You can go wherever you say you want to go.

The old lady clapped her hands without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Jiao smiled and said, It's cold, should you always move back to the compound?

It's a lot of trouble.

Zhou Jiao didn't try to persuade her anymore.

Although Cheng Sijin and his wife were not in the Cheng family's old house, Cheng Ruzhu lived nearby, and the third generation of college students often took their children home to accompany the elderly except on weekends.

Maybe if she asked again and again, the old lady would worry about her father and daughter moving back, but she didn't want to embarrass the old man who should enjoy the family happiness, so she might as well visit the house a few more times.

If you have the heart, No matter how big the Forty-Nine City is, it will still be small.

It's much more free to live outside. Tonight, your aunt and master have old friends coming to the door. It's very lively.

Is it calligraphy and painting or porcelain this time? I just found a good pair of calligraphy in the street a few days ago, and I just want to show it to my aunt in the next two days.

Zhou Jiao knew that Mr. Cheng was a literati in his bones, even though he was in the army. I didn't have a chance before, but now I go to the state-owned cultural relics store when I have time.

When it comes to the cultural relics store, Zhou Jiao also has a fight with him. As far as the old lady heard from her wife, she met this girl several times at noon.

So at this moment, hearing what she said, the old lady laughed happily, Your aunt and the old men should regret not going to the streets these two days.

After hearing the meaning of the words, Zhou Jiao laughed straight away. She was just strolling around during her lunch break, who knew that Sijiu City was so small, she would run into acquaintances from time to time.

As soon as the car reached an alley, Mrs. Cheng asked Xiao Zhu to stop here and wait.

Zhou Jiao still had a good impression of this place, she followed behind the old lady thoughtfully, and as she got closer and closer to the yard, she finally understood the purpose of the old lady bringing her here.

but……

It was still the courtyard of the blue-brick house, and the mottled vermilion gate was still as old as twenty years ago. The only difference was that these were not half-closed.

The old lady squinted her eyes, pressed her hands on the animal head knocker of the gate, knocked, and made a knocking sound of Dang Dang Dang.

Auntie, it should be that she hasn't come home after get off work.

The old lady shook her head, Wait.

This waited for five minutes.

A middle-aged man approached with a heavy sack, Who are you looking for?

Hearing the suspicious tone in her tone, and looking at them nervously, the old lady knew that the other party had misunderstood, and said with a smile: Is the old sister of the Liu family living here?

After hearing the words, the middle-aged man sized him up again, hesitated for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: That's my old aunt, wait a minute, she will come back when she gets old.

After the other party finished speaking, he entered the courtyard door without saying a word, dropped his things, and then said to the old lady and Zhou Jiao's puzzled eyes: My old lady doesn't like outsiders coming in.

Zhou Jiao averted her eyes amusedly, this tall man really looks like a tall man.

Helplessly, the old lady stood there with her cane and waited wholeheartedly. Zhou Jiao could only move towards the wind, at least to cover the old lady from the cold wind.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally an old lady with small feet came back staggeringly. As soon as he approached, he shook his head and said with a smile, Here comes the debtor.

Grandma, have you known each other for a long time?

Well, come in.

The old lady pulled Zhou Jiao, and then followed.

Zhou Jiao endured her doubts and entered the yard, she couldn't help but look around from the corner of her eyes. Twenty years have passed, and finally I can enter the door.

Big sister is wrong, you don't owe me any debts. I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still haven't grown old much.

In the main room, Mrs. Liu waved her nephew away and shook her head, I don't tell lies in front of real people. I can escape because of your kindness.

Mrs. Cheng smiled when she heard the words, and didn't deny it anymore. Didn't she just come to the door again because she believed in his real skills?

You also know my rules. Many years ago, it was Po Lie who made the last divination for this girl. This time, one person has one divination, and it's over when the debt is paid off.
