There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

After bidding farewell to the old captain and the clan's old uncles, it was already dark outside and the strong north wind was howling non-stop. Zhou Jiao finally felt the coldness of that year again.

But no matter how cold it is, the men and children get up early to exercise early in the morning. Zhou Jiao still has to stand up straight, and she still has to get up early after her neck was shrunk by the wind.

From simplicity to luxury is easy, from luxury to simplicity is difficult. She should not refuse Aunt Chen to come over!

When she came back this time, she didn't bring much. Firstly, the New Year gifts for her parents-in-law, brothers and sisters took up part of her luggage. Secondly, she was still used to bringing tickets and money.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law did send them food rations, but she hasn't been back in the past few years, so it is likely that their food reserves have been used up long ago.

The two poor bags of coarse grains were probably not enough to feed ten grown men quickly, not to mention she couldn't bear to let the men and children suffer.

Especially Ping'an and Liuyi. They study hard enough in the military academy. In order to follow the crowd, they can't do anything special. They can only make up for themselves once they go home during the holidays.

purchase! Definitely buy it! Gotta buy big!

After breakfast, Zhou Jiao took out the national food stamps, provincial foreign exchange coupons and money she had prepared in advance and gave them to Xiao Zhu, asking him to drive to the provincial capital for shopping.

At the same time, I took those few people back by the way. My whole family stayed in the village and didn't go out. The man and son were both masters. Didn't you see that they couldn't beat her son this morning? Besides, these young soldiers also have to celebrate the New Year, so why let people feel sad watching thousands of families reunite.

Later, when her three sons sneaked up the mountain, Zhou Jiao didn't say anything. She and Zhang Guoqing, who had changed into casual clothes, took Comrade Xiao Liu and drove to the market.

Her stupid son was so anxious to go hunting in the mountains in such a cold weather. He didn't know that the most important thing to go to right now was the market.

The market in my hometown is different from that in the suburbs of Beijing.

Local homespun cloth, insoles, headscarves, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, kang mats, etc. But all of them are works of art and are of great appreciation value.

Once the New Year's Eve is over, what stalls are there in the market?

Just as she imagined, the show has already returned to its grandeur.

Zhou Jiao has not yet approached the market. From the moment she got out of the car, most of the people she met along the way, including the young wives, had put on better clothes, and many of them were carrying baskets covered with coarse cloth in their hands.

Old men carried burdens and sacks, and some took children for a leisurely stroll. Everyone has a beaming smile on their face, and the days are getting more and more promising.

At home, Zhou Jiao was not so impressed, but when she went out, she felt more and more the festive atmosphere was more lively than in the city. It was indescribable, which made her who had always been indifferent feel a little bit nervous. excited.

Without the military uniform on his body, Zhang Guoqing, who was wrapped into a bear with only half of his face showing off, could be considered free. He took his wife's hand and headed towards the target point.

Xiao Liu, who was ordered to change into casual clothes, could only look at the backs of the couple speechlessly. He picked up the basket and followed closely, worried that he had lost them.

It’s the Chinese New Year, isn’t it just a matter of having fun?

Zhang Guoqing was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Zhou Jiao who was feeling relaxed. Without the sense of restraint in the capital, his wife's smile was full of magic, so attractive that he wanted to cover her with a scarf.

The New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, and the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

There are stalls outside the market, with various Spring Festival couplets, New Year pictures, and lanterns hung on bamboo poles, and various types of firecrackers are placed in cardboard boxes on the ground.

Following this stall, a few steps away is the stall of the supply and marketing cooperative. The front is crowded with customers, most of whom are young wives and older girls.

Zhang Guoqing protected his wife and avoided them. After taking a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up. What do you mean? Roasted nuts and dried fruits are sold.

That's great~ Could it be that his wife is always worried that she won't have anything to entertain the guests who come during the first month of the year? Of course he won't expose his wife's hamster nature.

Zhang Guoqing waved to Xiao Liu behind him, whispered instructions as he approached, gave him a handful of money and made two gestures.

Then he walked to the stall, protected Zhou Jiao and continued to change stalls. Now he finally understood that Xiao Liu, the light bulb, had a place to play.

I have asked Xiao Liu to buy firecrackers and bring them to the car first.

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this. Use the word pull? It can be seen that a lot of purchases were made! This guy has forgotten that I still have my mother at home. It would be weird if I didn’t call you a prodigal!

But she likes it when her man is like this!

Auntie, your product is pretty good. I've covered it all. Can the price be less?

Uncle, it's not easy for you to grow old. It's too cold in the three-nine days. I've packed it. Do you think you can send it to the parking lot? Yes, it's the place where the oxcarts and carriages are parked.

Brother, I won't negotiate the price. It's only one yuan per catty. If you win, you will go to my brother and send it outside. Money? My brother will give you money when you get there.

Auntie, if your salted fish and bacon are not cheaper, who can buy them? Who is not reminding me of the New Year's goods behind me now? They are hanging everywhere at home and outside.

Stop talking, how about I make a round roll for you?...What? Why should I buy so many? Haha...You don't know how many brothers I have. One portion per person is all gone.

...

As soon as Zhou Jiao squatted on the stall, Zhang Guoqing started to circle around, but Xiao Liu was too busy. The little comrade ran so hard that his forehead was covered with sweat in the cold weather.

Seeing that the car was almost full and packed with things on top, Xiao Liu did not dare to ruin the leader's good mood, so he could only ask his wife for help.

Zhou Jiao burst out laughing.

Daughter-in-law, what are you laughing at? Zhang Guoqing looked sideways and pointed to the place selling candied haws in front, Let's buy some and put them up in the yard, and give one to a child?

Zhou Jiao was not surprised that he said this. In the past two years, during the temple fair in the first month of the year, her three Ping'an brothers would bring back a few strings of candied haws and put them on the hands of the snowman in the yard for the children who came to visit.

But how many people in the compound can enter their own yards, and how many will there be in the village this time?

But who is to say that this is her man? She can afford to pamper him. Not to mention the candied haws, she can even give her man ten yuan a piece.

After the last short sale at the end of the year, the total amount on the foreign list was more than 70 million US dollars. This is because she doesn't want to continue playing, otherwise it won't be a problem to break 100 million after the spring.

purchase!

Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows at her cheerfully and raised his chin towards Xiao Liu. This silly boy, could it be that he didn’t count how many things he bought that could fit into the car?

Forget it, seeing how hard he works, let him go first!

Zhang Guoqing turned around and pulled Zhou Jiao, protecting her and pushing out, Go back first and see if the children are back? There is a big gathering at Maliutun tomorrow, let's go there.

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile on her face. She had just heard her man inquiring about this information, probably because he wanted to have fun with her.

Hehe... I just don't know if his mother-in-law will talk about him when he goes back!

After Xiao Liu paid the money, he picked up a straw stick full of candied haws and ran quickly - luckily the children around him didn't cry!

But how to bring it back safe and sound is also a problem.
