There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing left the study, closed the door and regained his smile. He looked around, walked to the kitchen, glanced inside, and shook his head in disappointment.

Inside, only his mother-in-law and Aunt Chen were talking and laughing while preparing a midnight snack.

Standing in the yard and looking up at the lights upstairs, Zhang Guoqing stood in trance for a while, then entered the living room and quietly went upstairs.

In the lounge on the second floor, behind the long table, Zhou Jiao was concentrating on splashing ink. The sound of the door being pushed open was not affected at all until a figure appeared under the light.

Zhang Guoqing knew that she was entranced again.

Glancing at the newspaper on the ground in front of the table and the rice paper near his feet, he held his breath and squatted down, folding the rice papers that had fallen down one by one.

Gradually, Zhang Guoqing exhaled as he looked at the words Three Sons and Five Grandsons written in different fonts above. He looked up at Zhou Jiao, who pursed her lips tightly, and couldn't help but smile.

After sorting it out, he put it aside, took the rice paper on top, and quietly left, closing the door gently, leaving a gap.

A ray of light illuminated the corridor. Zhang Guoqing rubbed the paper, turned around and went downstairs again.

In the study, Zhou Xiaozheng was delighted to see his son-in-law return.

Zhang Guoqing unfolded the rice paper and placed it on his desk, with a smile on his face, Dad, Jiaojiao didn't lock the door this time, and she's still writing big characters. Look.

Zhou Xiaozheng heard the implication: this time, his Jiaojiao was hiding in a corner to heal her injuries alone. He was also helpless about his baby daughter's habit. He would rather the child vent her emotions by crying and laughing than she could adjust quietly.

Whose child doesn't cry relentlessly when he's unhappy?

And this can only show that the hurt of childhood is deep in the bone marrow. In the years when I was not involved, I could not be unscrupulous without the love of my parents.

Zhang Guoqing saw the guilt on his face and knew that he was overthinking, so he quickly smiled and said: Dad, do you know why she keeps writing these four big characters?

Before, she accompanied the old lady to go to the Goddess. You don't know how good that fortune teller is. I didn't even go there, so she used my birth date and horoscope to tell everything about me from childhood to adulthood.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at him with a smile when he heard this.

The goddess's surname is Liu. I heard that before she kept her name anonymous, she predicted a fortune, but this time she returned the favor and told Jiaojiao that she would have three children and five grandchildren in her life.

Think about it, family planning is now required. My three sons can give birth to five grandchildren. Does that mean they are twins again?

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and glanced at his son-in-law with disdain, You still say that your second brother favors sons over daughters? You are not bad, and your granddaughter is also a grandson.

Yes, granddaughters are also grandchildren. No, Dad, the topic has gone off the rails. Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a smile, Whether it's grandchildren, since there are five grandchildren, and Ping An hasn't married yet, then they can be safe and sound, right?

Zhou Xiaozheng tapped his finger on the table, Do you think your dad is mentally ill? He would let his grandson go to the front line without any preparation or confidence?

As he spoke, he tapped Zhang Guoqing with his finger, Sit quietly and wait for Jiaojiao to come downstairs. When your mother calls for supper, she will come downstairs. Just rest assured that your father is here. The sky will not fall down.

Then, Dad, you must hold on.

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him arrogantly, Don't be distracted from your work. Those monkeys will be destroyed as soon as our soldiers pass by. There is no need to be nervous.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Zhang Guoqing walked up to him and put his hands on his shoulders. Mo, while quietly asking: Dad, are the children operating with a large army or a small group this time?

Zhou Xiaozheng closed his eyes and fell asleep, and uttered two words, Keep it secret.

Then I guess, can you nod if I guess right? This doesn't count as you leaking the secret.

Nonsense.

Zhang Guoqing smiled disapprovingly, Before, the children entered a foreign country. This time when a large force is assembled, scouts should be sent out first, right?

Zhou Xiaozheng opened his eyes and glanced at him, then continued to close his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoqing felt confident that he had guessed it right! After a moment of silence, he immediately changed the topic and talked about other things.

It is selfish to reveal so much. Just like tonight's conversation between the father-in-law and his wife, Zhou Jiao, according to the principle of confidentiality, they cannot reveal the slightest bit.

The army had orders before, but now it has implemented level one combat readiness. This is why his father-in-law avoided his mother-in-law during tonight's conversation.

Of course, there is a reason why his father-in-law said before that he could not hide it from Zhou Jiao: with her little book, she can know the general situation on the front line at this level, but no matter how deep it is, she cannot. Even his position and connections are not good enough.

Fortunately, he has a father-in-law who is in a high position, and he can piece together some secrets, which can be used to comfort his stupid wife.

When Miao Lishan led Aunt Chen to bring out the stewed supper, she shouted and came out to the living room.

It was just as Zhou Xiaozheng expected.

When Zhang Guoqing accompanied his father-in-law out of the study, his wife also came downstairs.

Dad, I won't change it. Zhou Jiao said this decision with a somewhat solemn expression.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded seriously, I have a dad for everything, don't worry.

When Miao Lishan heard this, she looked at them and winked at her son-in-law: What are you doing?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head in confusion: Your man and your daughter are exchanging secret codes!

He was not sure whether his mother-in-law had heard the news, and he was not sure whether there would be twists and turns when she learned that the children were going to war.

It was better to leave it to his almighty father-in-law. He was really exhausted both mentally and physically.

That night, Zhou Jiao leaned in Zhang Guoqing's arms, listening to a series of news about the latest developments, the people protecting the children, and so on.

She felt relieved a little, but for the rest, she knew she could never show it again. In addition to the heavy work, this silly man was no less stressed than she was.

She could only put on a arrogant smile, Fortunately, I have you and dad, I feel more at ease.

Yes, we are waiting for the fifth grandson to arrive.

Zhou Jiao held his hand tightly, smiled brightly, and closed her eyes.

She didn't dare to open her eyes in the darkness. It wasn't until the man next to her breathed evenly and the arms around her relaxed that she sighed secretly.

For a moment, she really wanted to break the children's wings.

money?

So far, they have enough capital to squander.

that power?

Given his background and status, changing his path may not lead to great achievements.

But she thought of the eyes of her three sons that would shine every time they mentioned their ideals; she thought of their proud expressions when they came back this summer when they mentioned being soldiers...

Living in the compound and growing up here, it is natural to be affected. She even ignored one thing, the incomparable love of their generation for the motherland.

For people of their generation, the country built by their ancestors is waiting for them to defend from generation to generation. Rather than staying behind in fear of death, they want to defend this land personally.

If you can’t stop it, then support it!
