There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing plans to go to the county seat on a bicycle to see if there is anything needed by the supply and marketing cooperative, and then he has to notify the second sister before going to work at eight o'clock, and then take things to Grandpa Zhou's house, the old man and the old lady are probably waiting this time. up.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao went to junior high school in the county seat, and they met a few acquaintances as they rode towards the supply and marketing cooperative. After greeting each other, they went about their own business.

Zhang Guoqing treats people with enthusiasm, and will do what he can to help, and he will never engage in group work. He didn't have the nerve to say that he just got a fat boy today, otherwise he would have to catch him for a chat.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, the door was not opened yet, so I had to go to the textile factory first. Fortunately, the two sisters live close to each other, otherwise it would be too much.

The eldest sister lives in the tube building allocated by the unit. There is only one large room divided into two rooms. The outside part-time living and dining room is used for sleeping at night. I heard that I am going to buy a house, but I don’t know how much is missing. I will ask if I want it?

Many people were cooking in the corridor early in the morning, and when they saw Zhang Qingguo, someone shouted sharply: Beautiful, your brother is here.

The eldest sister Zhang Meili hurriedly ran down. The 28-year-old eldest sister looks very young this year. She would be a natural beauty in the 21st century. She has now become a regular worker. With a salary of 22 yuan per month plus my brother-in-law’s repairman’s 36 yuan, I have 4 children. The oldest child is 11 years old, and the three older children are already in school. I also need to pay my in-law's family 5 yuan a month as a pension, and I often buy some things to go back to my mother's house. It's a crime, it's because their children are still young, and they can't live without buying a house when they grow up.

Zhang Guoqing smiled around, and then said to Sister Zhang: Sister, my mother asked me to announce the good news. Jiaojiao gave birth to a big fat boy last night, haha.

Oh, good job, little brother, then I'll go there after washing three. Sister Zhang was also very happy.

Zhang Guoqing nodded: That's fine, I won't go up to make trouble, we'll talk later, you go up and tell your brother-in-law that I won't go up, remember to take the children back with you. I'll rush to the second sister and say something.

Okay, then you should be careful on the road. Go home early and don't delay on the road. Zhang Meili waved her hand and watched her younger brother ride far before going upstairs.

The eldest brother-in-law is helping his baby girl to dress, and he turns around to see why the brother-in-law didn't come up.

Why didn't Xiaowu come up? Seeing you laughing happily this early in the morning, could it be his wife who gave birth?

Zhang Meili raised her thumb and boasted vigorously: You are so smart, Zhang Chunming, you really didn't waste your name. Last night, Jiaojiao gave birth to a big fat boy, and he was in a hurry to go to my little sister to announce the good news. After three years, our whole family will give birth. Go back and visit the grandparents of the child by the way.

The eldest brother-in-law Zhang Chunming laughed loudly, and yelled at the three sons who were still lying in bed to get up, it was almost time, and they were going to be late for school.

Cycling and turning two roads, this is the east of the county seat, the county public security bureau and the county high school are located in this area, the environment is relatively good, and there is no problem with public security. The family members of the Public Security Bureau and the Women's Federation basically live in this area, and some are old residents. There are all small courtyards and no buildings.

The second sister, Zhang Meimei, lives in this bungalow area, and the yards in this place are all single-family. The second brother-in-law's family is his only son, and he lives with his parents after marriage. The living conditions of the four people with wages are the best.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are also sensible and easy to get along with. They are also very satisfied with their second sister Zhang Meili. She is also good at housework, and she gave birth to a son when she married in. The old man has no daughter and treats her like a daughter

Zhang Guoqing stopped at the door of Zhang Meihao on his bicycle and knocked on the door. The door opened without locking it, and Zhang Guoqing hurriedly shouted, Uncle, Aunt, Second Sister, are you there?

Zhang Meili felt as if he heard the voice of his little brother National Day just now, so he immediately came out of the room and saw that it was really this kid.

Xiao Wu, why did you go to the city so early? Is there something wrong? Are parents okay?

Sister, I'm here to announce the good news. Last night, Jiaojiao gave birth to a big fat boy. Mother asked your whole family to come over as guests. Where are your uncles and aunts? The gate of the yard is open, so I just pushed it in.

Zhang Meimei took his younger brother's arm into the living room, poured him a glass of malted milk, and hurried to the kitchen to bring out the buns, letting Zhang Guoqing eat first. Coming out this early in the morning, she guessed that Xiao Wu must have not eaten breakfast, at most two dishes. She knows what her natal family eats for three meals a day.

The child's grandparents just bought steamed buns for breakfast and went out with the food book. You can get food today. Your brother-in-law went to wait in line early in the morning. I heard that there are fish and tofu today. You can eat here at noon. Zhang Meihao Said in a soft voice.

Zhang Guoqing ate two steamed buns and drank a cup of malted milk before he had time to talk to his second sister. He was still worried that the house that the eldest sister mentioned last time did not raise enough money, and it was not easy to ask the eldest sister because she was so talkative just now.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said: Our own sister and brother, I am not polite to you. I have to go back to announce the good news to the Zhou family. It is not good to waste time. I just want to ask you, how is the house that the eldest sister mentioned last time? Is the eldest sister not enough money, I will scrape together some and let her buy it first. The three boys in their family are so old that it is not easy to live in.

Zhang Meimei smiled gratifiedly, only Xiao Wu in her family had such a heart. The eldest brother has no money, and the second brother has no money even if he has money, he can't borrow it. Her mother did, she separated after Chinese New Year and now it's not easy to rent.

Zhang Meili smiled and said to Zhang Guoqing: Elder Sister, they fancy the house not far in front of me, and the owner of that house is going to the provincial capital with her son, the house is bigger than mine, and the asking price is 950 yuan.

The eldest sister is going to raise money from her colleagues. She only has 500 yuan, which is still 450 yuan. Your brother-in-law and I only have 200 yuan. You know that we don’t want to borrow money from our children’s grandparents.

It’s still 300 short. I originally planned to borrow it from my mother. After the Chinese New Year, the family will be separated, so it’s not easy to borrow. Why do you have private money? Didn't you give it all to your mother?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head at Zhang Meimei, looked around ghostly and said, I have a golden baby at home, haha...

Zhang Meimei slapped him angrily a few times, and he knew how to tease her sister. However, his family really had a golden doll, hehe, it's not that the two sisters never thought of looking for Zhou Jiao, but no one could look at her.

Okay, I'll borrow 200 yuan first, and I will pay you back when my eldest sister gets her salary. However, you have to ask her to be willing, or else just pretend I didn't mention it. Zhang Meimei was still worried after thinking about it. If the husband and wife eat their hearts, they can't do the same as sisters.

Zhang Guoqing stood up, stretched his body, shook his hand and said: It's okay, Jiaojiao is not that kind of person, you and eldest sister and the others go to the owner of the house to talk about it first, and you will pay the money the day after tomorrow.

Money is available at any time. We have more than 500 yuan in our hands, and we have nothing to spend. First, we will give the eldest sister 300 yuan, and don’t want 200 yuan. The family will be tight by then. If the other party is in a hurry, someone can come home at night and take it.

I'm leaving first, you go to work and talk to the eldest sister. I don't need the money urgently. I can give it to me whenever I have it. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two.

Zhang Meili also stood up and followed him out, showing him the house by the way. This is the house, bigger than ours, right? When the child gets married and grows up, the east and west rooms will be enough to live in. Besides, it's close to me, so I can contact you if you have anything to do.

Okay, then you guys settle down early. This house is pretty good. It would be a pity if someone bought it. Come and get the money at any time. If 300 yuan is not enough, I'll make it tighter and raise 500 yuan. After finishing speaking, Zhang Guoqing rode away, otherwise the Zhou family hadn't seen him to announce the good news, and they would have a big opinion.
