There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 2 Breaking Up Unhappily

National Day, why did you buy so much again? You are a real kid. Didn't I tell you that? You don't need to buy things when you go home. You have to save money when you have a baby. Don't spend it recklessly, let me tell you Ah, you can't do without your parents around, look at these yellow croakers are expensive.

When Zhou's mother was young, she was a factory flower. She was famous for being eloquent and good at being a person. Although he said something similar to postponement, he was not slow at all to pick up things. At the beginning, Gao married the factory accountant Dad Zhou with a bright future as a beautiful and impoverished rural girl. Her eyes and mind are now full of calculations on how to send her daughter's money to her own home.

Erya, why don't you say anything, you damn girl? Why don't you save your monthly living expenses with other mothers for you. When the child grows up and buys a house, I'm just worried about you young couple, and you have no plan.

Zhou's mother had her hands full, and she was still muttering in her heart: You damn girl, it's better to just give the money if you spend so much money on things.

Hehe, are you sure I still have money? I have worked for 2 years, and I will give you half of my monthly salary. The bride price has exhausted our couple's savings. The car I just bought last year still requires a down payment. Mom said.

Okay, old woman. Why are you worrying about the children again? Didn't you say that we old people don't get involved in the children's affairs? Xiao Zhang, don't listen to your mother and come in quickly. Zhou Dafu, Zhou Dafu, interrupted hastily.

He is smarter than his wife. The young son-in-law is filial to them because of his daughter's face, otherwise, who cares about you old woman, besides, you can't let your daughter stand at the door with a big belly.

She was not allowed to come in, and she was still obsessed with money. stupid! The matter of money can be taken slowly, everyone will gather together tomorrow, and it is hard for the two son-in-laws to refuse under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Nothing happened all night, Zhou Jiao saw that the younger brother and daughter-in-law did not return to her natal home last night, and her younger brother did not see her either. It is estimated that if the two couples are not short of money, they will not even be able to see each other. But these have nothing to do with her, she is too lazy to speak.

I don't know if it's because of her pregnancy, but Zhou Jiao woke up at 9 o'clock in the morning. The side was empty, so Zhang Guoqing probably went downstairs to help early.

Opening the door, she slowly went downstairs.

At this time, the downstairs was full of chaos and hustle and bustle. The woman was talking and laughing loudly, the children were playing and crying, and the eldest brother-in-law and Zhang Guoqing were receiving visitors at the door. There were so many people coming and going, Zhou Jiao was even more afraid of being touched and hurting the child in the stomach, so she stood at the stairs and felt a little nervous. hesitate.

Zhang Guoqing, who was standing at the door, seemed to have a feeling in his heart. When he turned his head, he saw his wife. He hurried forward and helped her go downstairs to the small living room next door to have breakfast.

Did you sleep well? Eat something first. Let me see if there are any other breakfasts and snacks? Don't go out after eating. There are many people today, and children are running around. It will be bad if they touch your stomach.

Be good, stay in the small living room with peace of mind, I will let the elder sister and Xiaokang accompany you later, you watch TV first. Zhang Guoqing persuaded in a low voice.

I have been busy since dawn until now, and the brother-in-law in the family is not up to the task. Now that everyone has come, their son-in-law can only help to search around to see what is missing. Obviously, the guests at the three big tables have to sit next to each other, but now, fortunately, there are two tables planned at home.

I really don't know what this mother-in-law and old father-in-law think? It is estimated that in order to take advantage, his father-in-law and his wife are not afraid of face.

Early in the morning, myself and my brother-in-law drove around to buy. This is posting money and running errands, so I will definitely go directly to the hotel next time.

Okay, I'm right here. You also take a rest. You didn't see that other than you and your brother-in-law, everyone else was waiting for food with their legs up. I didn't know that this son-in-law was a visitor, and he was struggling hard. It wasn't me. I really don't feel sorry for my son. Let's see if I will come so early next time my dad celebrates his birthday. Zhou Jiao hurriedly pulled Zhang Guoqing to sit down and poured him a glass of water. My heart hurts so much, I'm really angry and anxious, whoever does such a thing, he is also stupid, he pays money and effort.

Zhou Jiao still wants to say after thinking about it: When you go out, you will take your brother-in-law out for a walk, and I will send you two in the house. And you are the same. You really think that you are yourself, and you will drive again when you turn around. You didn't do it last night. rest well.

Soon the noon birthday banquet began, and there were three tables seated. The two sisters, Zhou Jiao and Zhou Jiao, who gave gifts and blessings according to the procedure, spent more than 5,000 oceans on gold necklaces according to the custom.

But eating and drinking is still quite lively and the atmosphere is good. Her grandparents and uncles sat at the main table, and they didn't know who started it, and began to praise the two sons-in-law vigorously.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao looked at each other and smiled, and sure enough something happened.

After Zhang Guoqing has been in contact with the Zhou family for so many years, he can also say that he has a thorough understanding of their temperament.

Who is Zhang Guoqing? He has no background, but he is still a top student who receives scholarships every year. The student council president and outreach director during the college period. Immediately after graduation, he joined the top 300 companies and was promoted to manager in just two years.

He already knew the look in your eyes.

Zhou's mother told how she raised her two daughters, how hard she worked hard inside and outside the words, and how she saved food and money to cultivate a promising daughter.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing, and seeing everyone staring at her, she shook her hands in embarrassment: Mom, go ahead and say, today you are the birthday star, you are the oldest, you can say whatever you want?

Those relatives and friends next to him were embarrassed to listen. No one knew about the Zhou family's affairs, so they all tacitly kept silent at the moment.

For a moment, except for the immature children who continued to eat and drink, they all put down their chopsticks. This was the beginning of the meal, and people complained every time they complained. This was because they didn't want to give face to the guests. I was very happy at first, but it was rare for everyone to get together and chat, and they started to make trouble again.

Zhou's mother was interrupted by Zhou Jiao, and she was about to reach out to pat her. Seeing the little son-in-law next to her staring at her movements, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and patted her thigh.

Zhou's father quickly smoothed things over: Everyone eat, don't put chopsticks away. As parents, we are worried about our children, who are all born by ourselves. It is impossible to make a bowl of water level. But my youngest son still depends on his two brothers-in-law. Help. Otherwise, we won’t feel relieved when we get old and leave.

What is blood relatives, brothers and sisters, there is no one in this world closer than you. The two of you are capable sisters, and Dad knows it, and he also feels that his two daughters are no worse than his son. But you little brothers, I still have to rely on you in the future.

Zhou Jiao just wanted to spit on him. If it wasn't for the sight of everyone, I'm afraid his father wouldn't be able to step down. I just want to ask him, is she raising them now? I really want a bowl of water to be flat, why do I even want her bowl? Seeing that his father is really talented, he is helpless and sad, and he is highly praised, and he doesn't know the truth. It is estimated that they will also be condemned as daughters for being inconsiderate of their parents.

Zhang Guoqing saw that Zhou Jiao's face was so angry that he quickly took her hand and patted her comfortingly. His wife is still pregnant, but he can't be angry. There is also resentment towards the Zhou family in my heart. Every time he tried to ease the relationship between their father and daughter and mother and daughter, they ended up pushing too hard. For a moment, she didn't pay attention to Zhou's mother talking next.

Zhou's mother followed Zhou's father's words: Yes, when you were young, you said that you will rely on your younger brother in the future. Now we see that your siblings love each other, and we are relieved. I went to the city to see the house some time ago.

Oh, that's great. It's a pity that your father and I are old and incapable. Later, I thought that both of your sisters are in the city, and your brother lives close to you so that he can take care of you. Isn't it better to call for help when something happens than to ask someone else. Your younger brother has no job now, and it is easy to find him if he goes to the city. His household registration is in the city, and his children can go to school, and education is also good. You don't want to do this and don't help, do you?

For a while, except for the elder sister, elder brother-in-law, and Zhou Jiao and his wife who remained silent, everyone was discussing. And Zhou Jiao's younger brother and younger brother-in-law just ate their own food and didn't express their views. They probably think that the contributions of the sisters are taken for granted. Why don't you just write an IOU?

It's still an old saying to bring up buying a house again, and in front of relatives and guests, it is still 300,000 short. As a result, it is obvious that everyone knows that this is not easy to persuade after looking at it. Then look at the youngest son of the Zhou family and a couple who didn't say how to pay back the money after borrowing it. Relatives have debts and repayments, young couples always have to make a statement, you are now pretending to ignore the muffled noises and eating and drinking, how can others do things that offend others.

Everyone took the opportunity to say goodbye and leave. Well, there will be another news from the Zhou family tomorrow, and it just happens to entertain the public when there is nothing to do in the countryside.

The two sons-in-law just lowered their heads and talked, and neither of them took up the topic, which made Zhou's father and Zhou's mother very boring. Father Zhou and the others also knew that they didn't want to agree. Zhou's mother had a serious face, and she didn't even clean up the sister-in-law's things, so she went back to her room with a serious face.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao laughed. Your face is so big, who can get used to you?

Zhou Jiao and her eldest sister Zhou Hui hurriedly packed up their belongings and ran away with the man. If I stay any longer, I have to clean up the leftover seats, so I don't have to go home today. What are you trying to do with money and effort?

Zhou Hui leaned into Zhou Jiao's ear and whispered: Erya, don't give me any more money. Xiaojuan's family said that our sisters are going to buy a house for my younger brother. You see, we all live in small houses, who doesn't Know that you have the money to buy directly!

Mom and Dad's house has just been built, and then they want to go to the city, why don't they go to heaven? Anyway, I can no longer subsidize my natal family, my mother-in-law is already dissatisfied. You should also pay attention to yourself, and don't toss about your parents so much that it will affect the relationship between husband and wife. buy a house? Who wouldn't? I also want to save some money and move to the city.

Zhang Guoqing paid attention to his wife's face from the moment he got in the car. He knew that his wife would be in a bad mood for a few days every time something happened to her natal family, and she would come back less often and try not to come back. Love is not bought with money. It is enough for the husband and wife to love each other, and there is no need to find fault.

Sometimes Zhang Guoqing thinks in his heart that he is still like an orphan. Go to the orphanage on time to see the children, and it is good to support those children to go to school. Sometimes the best family members and eccentric parents are even more helpless, and the blood relationship cannot be broken just by saying it.

No matter how angry my wife is now, she still needs to be filial. Forget about just buying a house. Think about it, the house I live in now was given by Zhang's mother, but who is Zhang Guoqing?

He has never transferred the ownership, he just plans to wait for the two to buy a new house, and then transfer the house to the orphanage in the name of Zhang's mother, so that the children can have more security. However, he is not worried about himself. After being transferred in the next year, he hopes to be the head of the branch. The annual income plus previous savings can completely buy a new house. Not to mention the savings of the couple during college, there is no pressure to raise a child.
