There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

After just one meal, it was dark outside the window, the wind was still blowing, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier, like torn cotton wool, slowly floating.

After dinner, when the two brothers sent the girl home in person, the outside became a world covered in silver.

On winter nights, there are few pedestrians. Occasionally, there are people who huddle their necks to avoid the cold wind in winter, and hurry back to their warm home.

A dim light on the roadside illuminates two couples at both ends.

The couple who met after a long absence faced the strong north wind and it was not easy to talk to each other. They held hands affectionately and made this cold and lonely night into a warm one.

Ping An looked at Qu Shengmei with a smile, pulled up her scarf, and hugged her, Hurry in, it's too late now. I'll visit my uncle and aunt at home tomorrow, and then I'll take you to the movies.

Okay, I'll wait for you. Qu Shengmei hugged his waist and looked up at him, Good night.

Ping An glanced around, put his chin on her head, let out a cheerful chuckle, hugged her again, then let go and pushed her.

As they approached the gate of Yi's house, Liuyi pulled Yi Tangtang and carried her around to a remote corner, My little girl has really grown up.

Yi Tangtang huddled in his arms, raising his head and smiling foolishly.

What a silly girl. Liuyi lowered his head and pecked the corner of her lips, Do you miss your brother?

Yi Tangtang raised his head and closed his eyes. His fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly, It's amazing, I dream about you every night.

After a long time, Liuyi hugged her out, came to the door, and looked at her deeply, Go back and have a good sleep. Brother will pick you up tomorrow.

Yi Tangtang smiled foolishly, covered his face with his hands, and blinked his eyes like crescent moons in happiness, Wait until godmother goes to work, or I can go by myself.

Liuyi looked at her meaningfully and chuckled.

The little girl is really getting better and better at teasing people!

He turned her around with one hand and patted her butt, Good boy, get in quickly.

Yi Tangtang rolled her eyes at him charmingly, waved her little hand, and ran into the house with a string of laughter.

When I arrived home on June 1st, Ping An was already in the living room.

At this moment, he was watching TV and chatting with his family. When Liu Yiyi came in, Ping An smiled at him meaningfully.

Didn't you meet your father-in-law? I've been gone for more than half an hour.

Liuyi sat down next to him with an indifferent expression, I'm going to the gate. Didn't sister-in-law urge you to set a date?

What date is set?

Get married. Liuyi raised his lips and smiled, Brother, you are over the marriageable age.

Miao Lishan nodded repeatedly, You have to hurry up. If you don't come back for May Day at the end of the year, you will definitely go home next year. It just so happens that he comes home to attend the wedding. Otherwise, if your brother misses it, see how he makes trouble for you?

Ping An glared at Liu Yi in a vague way and touched the back of his neck, Can't you wait until May Day graduation?

It's better to do it as soon as possible. After you finish it, Xiaotang'er will graduate in two years, which will be right after Children's Day. Otherwise, if you two are together, I will be too busy after the baby is born.

Brother, hold on tight, grandma is in a hurry to hug the fat baby.

You're not in a hurry, are you?

You're not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry? Liuyi flicked the non-existent snow on his legs, My sister-in-law is very good. Get married as soon as possible and help our mother as soon as possible.

Beside them, the absent-minded Weng and his son-in-law were playing Go and listening attentively.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng raised his chin towards his son-in-law and motioned for him to speak quickly.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and said, Your brother is right. Book the time early so that your mother can arrange it slowly. There is a lot to do about the new house, the banquet, and the guest list for the banquet.

Zhou Jiao glanced at them speechlessly, then looked at the two sons who were playing basketball: Why do they always like to use her as an excuse?

Ping An frowned, Can't you simply get a certificate and just set up two tables of wine?

What are you talking about? It's not like you're being disrespectful. Miao Lishan waved her hand to stop him from speaking, You are the eldest son of the family, and it's totally outrageous that you don't have dozens of tables.

Let’s not talk about how many friends and comrades-in-arms you have. Just take your grandfather, your father, and your mother. How many friends do they have? Are there any relatives at home?

If they want to have a drink, can they be stopped outside the door? I was worried that dozens of tables wouldn’t be able to fit in. How about two tables? We all want a big table for ourselves.

Grandpa?

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed and shook his head, It's useless even if you call me ancestor!

Ping An looked at everyone in embarrassment.

Zhou Jiao looked at him in surprise and joked, Son, you don't want to regret your marriage, do you?

Regret the marriage?

I didn’t see the young couple getting along well with each other.

The family looked at Ping An happily, waiting for what he would say?

Pingan pondered for a moment, Then wait a little longer. Next year will be my most critical year. I have already mentioned it to Shengmei, and she said she supports me.

After hearing what he said, even Miao Lishan understood the meaning. Now that the children have given in, the family nods in agreement without any objection.

Is there any danger? This is what Zhou Jiao is most concerned about. You are still young, and you have to go through qualifications. Don't be in a hurry to make meritorious deeds.

Mom, don't worry, I understand this. I will take over the regiment starting from next year, and the military affairs need to be rectified. There is no dangerous work for me to do.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his worried wife, stretched his waist, leaned back in the chair, and analyzed each item one by one, The family will be very busy in April and May next year, and your grandpa and I will be the busiest in autumn.

The best time is around New Year's Day. Only then can you go back to China during the May Day holiday. However, your mother is the busiest at the end of the year, so you might as well postpone it for a year.

Zhou Jiao smiled, glanced at her two sons thoughtfully, and followed his intention, That's true. Dad, how about we move first?

Ping An looked at the living room in surprise, You live well, why do you want to move?

Liuyi tilted his thigh and touched him, signaling him not to interrupt.

You can just discuss it with Xiaowu. Zhou Xiaozheng said and looked at his two grandsons. It's not about moving to the old house. Logistics has said several times that our family will move to the mountains.

Then we have to move.

Liuyi looked at Zhou Jiao worriedly, Wouldn't it be more inconvenient for my mother to commute to get off work?

Your mother will get a car after the new year.

Ping An squinted at his brother: Stupid! It must be their mother's promotion. If everything goes wrong, will grandpa and their father agree?

Isn't the reason why I haven't moved away just because I'm worried about my mother?

Liuyi smiled disapprovingly, Dad, what about you? Or don't you want a yard?

Zhang Guoqing nodded decisively, thought for a while and warned: It's your turn to share the house, so you should give it to me first. We have too many yards, so don't compete with others.

It doesn't matter to us, the dormitory is just fine. But when my brother gets his marriage certificate in the future, it will definitely be allocated by the higher authorities, so will he push it?

When the time comes, the women will apply directly to the unit for housing. Usually you are in the army, so they can have a temporary place to stay in the city.

The two Ping'an brothers looked at him suspiciously: Are you lying to children? Their family still lacks a place to rest?
