There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhao Dashan drove towards the yard, and before he could stop at the door, the wooden bed and cart had already been delivered, and Lin Lishan was waiting outside the door.

Zhou Xiaozheng waited for the car to stop and got out immediately, Dashan, you park the car first. He ran to the gate to help carry the wooden boards in, and saw that the room inside had been cleaned.

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his wife who came in, Shanshan, is this room already clean?

Clean it up first, and wait for you to buy the bed. Brother Zheng, you can just make it up.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, and the two masters from the carpentry factory installed the bed. After checking that there was no problem, he sent the master to the door, saw the cart in the yard, and pulled it down under the eaves of the firewood house.

Shanshan, where to put the briquettes when they are brought back? Is it still the same place? Did you ask my little girl?

Lin Lishan smiled and gave him a sideways look, Don't worry about my work, I've already asked you clearly. You even asked me how to burn the clay stove. That girl is really nice and very careful. The main room and the living room have been cleaned. Now The only thing left is the kitchen row. It will be enough to tidy up for another day tomorrow. I also agreed with the mother and daughter to come over to help tomorrow. The military quilt is too small. It can be placed in the room with the kang, but we can’t build it ourselves. It’s too small. I’ve made an appointment with Hongli to find someone to make two thick quilts with her tomorrow. These quilts are put in the closet first, and it’s a pity to use them as mattresses. I’ll go see if there are any mattresses at the quilt maker tomorrow. Sell. The rest is to measure three curtains and quilt sheets, remember to bring the fabrics and put them in the car when you go back.”

Zhou Xiaozheng looked around, The car is outside now. You and Hongli can go and have a look now, don't wait for tomorrow. If you have ready-made ones, buy ready-made ones, and buy a few mattresses. When Ping An grows up, you will wet the bed. .Take the cotton ticket first, it may be needed. Be careful when driving.”

Lin Lishan took the bills and pulled out the cotton slips, Put the other bills in your place first, I think I'll go to the supply and marketing agency tomorrow to see. I haven't bought the soy sauce, vinegar, and salt yet.

Okay, you can figure it out yourself. Don't worry, you can buy it even if you don't have it temporarily. When you come back, remember to check if there are any buns, buy some for your wife to take back, and give some food stamps and money tomorrow.

Lin Lishan nodded. She still had food stamps in her hand, and there was no shortage of their mother and daughter. She planned to give more, and after ten days and half a month of cleaning, Jiaojiao asked them for help.

Hongli, the car is back now. Let's go make the quilt first, see if there are any ready-made, and buy the mattress. Do they want cotton tickets? Lin Lishan hurried to the kitchen to find Cheng Hongli.

Cheng Hongli shook her head, We don't use cotton tickets here, and some places require cotton tickets. There are cotton farmers in the village, so there should be ready-made cotton. The last time my colleague's daughter got married, she just bought a quilt. If you have enough money, you can buy more. Buy a few beds. I recently heard that the cotton has to be handed over here, so you can’t buy it without a cotton ticket. Mattresses can be bought, but the quality is too poor. Most people just lay straw directly. Let’s go and have a look first. There are a lot of people getting married at the end of the year, so I really need to go and see these sooner.”

Lin Lishan said to the mother and daughter who were busy: Little girl, you and your mother are busy here first. Aunt Cheng and I will go buy quilts first, and we will be back soon. Don't rush back. Call you if you have something to do. Uncle, he's in the yard.

Liu Xiaoya replied obediently: Understood, Aunt Lin. You go, my mother and I will pack the things in the kitchen into the next room, wash them and wait for you to put new ones on.

Lin Lishan smiled at her. This child is quite obedient, but it's a pity that she is too thin. When I see her, I think of Jiaojiao. It's a pity that I haven't studied for a few years, otherwise she would like to introduce a job to her.

Lin Lishan and Cheng Hongli got into the car and drove towards the direction Cheng Hongli said. Now that they were off work and there were many pedestrians on the road, the car could only move slowly.

Hongli, are you exhausted today?

Cheng Hongli shook her head, and said with a smile, It's really all right. You didn't look inside, but it's actually quite clean, that is, it hasn't been sterilized, and I feel uncomfortable when I live in it. Where did you find that girl? She works really well.

The original landlord, Mr. Liu, introduced it. He has been buying vegetables, cooking, and cleaning the yard for the old couple. Today, I specially invited them to help. The little girl is well-behaved and sensible, and her mother is also a smart person.

Cheng Hongli sighed sympathetically, The little girl is seldom talkative and capable. If she has the conditions, she should be in school. I heard that she has three younger brothers. His father and elder brother have jobs, and they have to support grandparents in the country. Her mother If you have a registered permanent residence in a rural area, you can’t find a job, even temporary workers.”

It's even more difficult in the countryside. Every household has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Okay, let's not talk about them. Does your girl go to school today? Do you want to pick them up?

No, his brothers are all at home. They are all grown up and can take care of themselves. How many days are you going to stay for this time?

Lin Lishan shook her right hand helplessly, Don't talk about staying for a few days, I can only invite you for seven days at most, and then I will give you a few more days, which is only fifteen days, except for the six days of traveling on the train, there are not many days left. God, even next year's vacation is gone. I can only stay here for a week. In these two days, I still want to see if there is any mission to the Northeast Military Region.

What about Brother Zheng? No, it's only seven days. There are a lot of vacations accumulated over the years. I won't let you go back alone, will I?

He didn't count it as a vacation this time. His superiors gave him time to deal with the matters at hand first, and limited a few days to take office. After he took office, he should have a one-month vacation. He didn't have a clue when he just came back, and he didn't have time to go to the army to have a look at the documents for his appointment. , he went home and stayed for a while and got on the train anxiously. After staying here for 7 days, he will go back with me first. When the child is older at the end of the year, the three of them will go to Beijing to stay for a while. There is no way I can't help myself. I can only come up with Jiaojiao, but luckily my Jiaojiao understands.

Then you pack it up and no one will live there, and you're not in a hurry to move, just take your time.

Lin Lishan blinked at her and smiled, We want to be ready. We may not be able to take more than half a month's leave next time. After she has settled down, she will be at ease when she goes back. Besides, we want to take her out. Stay for a while, let the couple be free in the city. Let them go back to Beijing for a few days in December, and they will go to work again when they come back next year, so there is no need to go back.

When spring came, we separated again. His father-in-law and mother-in-law are quite good people, but in the countryside, as you know, a little bit of things spread quickly. This child Jiaojiao would rather wrong herself than others look at her with strange eyes. When they go back to the city, they live their own lives, and they can live as they want. Neither me nor her dad have told her that we plan to bring her to town. Hehe, her father borrowed a car and said that if he had a car, he could bring it back directly.

Hehe, that means you are now planning to pack it up and bring her back directly?

Lin Lishan nodded, I heard that her two sister-in-laws didn't do their confinement well. After 7 days, they went to the field to help with housework, which is good. Others have to go to work. I want Jiaojiao to do the full moon, It's not convenient there.
