There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

At four o'clock in the morning, Father Zhang got up. As usual, he went to the backyard to have a look. It snowed last night, and it was chilly early in the morning. Father Zhang picked up a shovel to clear the snow.

In the past, Zhang Guoqing would wake up early in the morning to clean up. Zhang's father subconsciously looked to the side, and suddenly realized that his youngest son was not at home, so he burst out laughing. It seems that the child is not at home, he is really not used to it.

Standing in the front yard and looking at the east and west wing rooms, there is no movement. He regretted that his old son was not at home, otherwise he would have gotten up to accompany him long ago, nagging him not to let him do anything.

It suddenly occurred to me that in so many years of winter, the old son not only got up early in the morning to clean up his yard, but also went to help the lonely old people in the village. Thinking of this, Father Zhang speeded up and planned to visit the village.

As the sky gradually brightened, the two brothers Zhang Guofu got up and came out. Seeing that the yard was clean, they immediately thought of his father, patted their foreheads annoyed, and rushed to wash up in unison, anxious to find his father.

Zhang's mother left the main room, and as soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she heard her two sons muttering, and said with a smile: It's okay, we are old and sleep less. You have to work on the yard today, sleep as much as you can.

Seeing his sister-in-law, Zhang Guoqiang, the second child, came to the kitchen and was busy with breakfast with his mother. Thinking of his daughter-in-law who was still asleep, she walked into the house with a sullen face.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Lin Juhua had got up and was fully dressed. Seeing him come in with a bright smile on his face, he finally felt relieved.

Father, I'll go to the backyard to cook pig food first. Call me if you need something. Don't get tired. After speaking, Lin Juhua hurried out.

Shitou sticks out his small head, and yells in a childish voice, Father, I want to go to the county town to find my uncle. My elder brother said that today we will secretly follow grandma.

Zhang Guoqiang was taken aback, and hurriedly coaxed, Son, listen to daddy. After the guests from my uncle's place leave, daddy will take you to the county seat. You can't go out secretly. If you are sold by a kidnapper, you won't be able to find your parents. .”

Little Shitou opened his eyes wide and looked at him hesitantly, Are you really taking us to find uncle? Adults like to lie to children. Brother said it's wrong to lie.

Who in our family lied to you? When did Dad lie to you? I will take you there tomorrow. Zhang Guoqiang was worried after thinking about it, so he still had to talk to Xizi. That little guy is very ghostly, and if he is not careful, he will really take his brothers to the county town.

After coaxing his son, he couldn't care less about the girl clamoring to follow him, so he hurried to find Xizi.

Pushing open the door and entering the nephew's room, I saw that Xizi had already dressed and was helping the little left and the right to put on sweaters. Seeing him coming in, he smiled and said hello.

Xizi, listen to my second uncle, don't go to the county today, can you? You take your younger brothers out secretly, what if they run around and lose them? Listen to my second uncle. When the guests leave, tomorrow my second uncle will take them with me. You go over.

Xizi understood that Xiao Shitou had leaked the secret when she heard it, and smiled at him embarrassedly.

Seeing his smirk like Xiaowu, Zhang Guoqiang felt his heart pounding. He thought about it for a while, and said helplessly: Forget it, when your grandma goes to the county this morning, you can follow. Remember to watch your brothers and don't mess around. Your uncle has guests, so don't be rude.

Xizi quickly nodded in response, staring at the two younger brothers who were yelling.

Zhang Guoqiang went out of the yard and worked for a long time. He suddenly thought that Xizi was going to school today, so why did he think of taking his younger brothers to the county town? He wouldn't be fooled by the little devil, right?

In the early morning, Father Zhang took a shovel to clean up Mr. Zhang Wuye's yard, and then ran to two old people's yards. Think of them talking about our old son, humming a play happily. Walking on the road, stop from time to time to clean up.

When the villagers who got up early saw it, they would smile heartily and greet and joke with him.

Uncle Zhang didn't sleep well last night, so he got up early in the morning and planned to visit the team.

When I went out, I saw my second brother carrying a shovel, humming a song, laughing. He said angrily: What's the matter? Picked up your old son?

Father Zhang saw him dressed to go out to run errands, looked at him curiously, and said, Brother, where are you going?

Uncle Zhang rolled his eyes at him, You forgot that today is the first big episode, and the captain uncle said yesterday to see what the team needs to deal with. I have to go and see, I'm not as good as you.

Dad Zhang was not surprised, he smiled and pulled him, the two brothers muttered for a while, and went about their own affairs.

Uncle Zhang walked slowly towards the village with his hands behind his back, and met Uncle Captain. When the two arrived at the team, they saw Old Accountant Zhang and several people. The village cadres sat together and began to talk about not only the things that should be sold in the team, but also the distribution of rations and dividends at the end of the year.

Zhangjiacun paid the public rations, and the cats were in winter. Uncle Captain was trying his best to think of a little more money to give everyone a better life, and he just waited for the opening of this big market.

He would listen to their conversation, and even though he knew it, he sat there quietly to see if there was anything else he missed.

After a while, everyone stopped looking at him. He finally decided, All rations will not be sold. The team's mountain products harvested in autumn, as well as the ropes and straw sandals that are usually accumulated are all sold.

This cat winter, next spring is not afraid of not having these. Let's send out all the full rations that fill our stomachs. Several families in the village have borrowed food, and they won't be able to survive next summer without it.

Uncle Zhang originally wanted to ask his younger brother, the second child, to buy the mountain goods, so as to save the trouble of going back and forth. But think about it or forget it. The goal is too big, he knows his second brother's temperament, he likes to make things up in secret, for fear of being conspicuous.

After the Captain finished speaking, seeing that they had no objection, he continued: I sold the money today, and tomorrow morning I will start slaughtering pigs for rations. It's still the same as before. The accountant will calculate the accounts first, and you two will reconcile the accounts. Remember Deduct the things that the team will spend in the spring of next year, and give them all points.

Uncle Zhang immediately asked: Uncle, how do you arrange the hunt? What did the other two villages say? It seems that the Chinese New Year will not be long, can you arrange it earlier?

Uncle Captain thought in his heart that Xiao Wu had to bring the juniors with him in his own village. It seems that the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in less than two months, so nothing can happen. Counting the group of guests from Xiao Wu's house, giving him three days to entertain guests is probably enough.

When will Xiaowu from Zhang Laoer's house be free? Those guests from the capital don't plan to stay for ten days and a half a month, right? I plan to let Xiaowu take the juniors to practice. Watch from the sidelines. After this year, it will not be easy to find him to lead the team up the mountain in the future.”

Hearing the meaning of the words, Uncle Zhang said quickly, No. The child will help you as long as you yell. This time, there is no way. It was too sudden. All the relatives are going back today, even his father-in-law. Next Xiao Wu is very free.

Uncle Captain looked at him, smiled and shook his head.

When these people from the capital came, more or less people in the county were busy looking for him to make a relationship. Still free? That kid was so smart that he didn't take the opportunity to get his elder brother to the county seat. He said that his second brother was introduced by his sister-in-law and father, only ghosts would believe it. Seeing that he has been asking for leave to run to the county, it is not necessary to think that it is all because of him.

He could have guessed that Zhang's second child is probably fat and vacant again, so he doesn't have to wait for the New Year, and Xiao Wu will come to the door to get a stamp. How many people squeezed their heads to drill into the city, and they couldn't get in after spending a lot of money. Zhang Laoer is really blessed, a young son can arrange the whole family well. His house is really out of the mud.

Accountant Zhang smiled knowingly, changed the subject and said, Then I'll go back and reconcile the accounts if there's nothing wrong. Make the calculations early and divide them up early, so that everyone can have a good time.

After everyone dispersed, Uncle Captain looked at Uncle Zhang who was still following behind him and said, If you see Xiao Wu, tell that kid not to mess around for the next few days, and postpone it if something happens.

After Uncle Zhang responded, he went to Father Zhang's house.

In the main room, Father Zhang was listening to the phonograph, cheerfully instructing his two sons to pack souvenirs. Seeing his elder brother come in, he hurriedly dragged him onto the kang.

Brother, is there something to explain?

It's okay, Xiaowu is in the county, right? When you see him, tell him that Uncle Captain asked him to lead the team up the mountain for the next two days. Uncle Zhang said leaning against the wall.

Father Zhang was taken aback when he heard this, and secretly worried. He knew that Xiaowu would be busy with his elder brother's work in the county these few days, and he would handle the household registration of a family of three by the way. Where is the time to go up the mountain, let alone stay on the mountain for two nights.

Uncle Zhang looked at him with embarrassment, frowned and said, What? You are not happy to let him lead the team? Second child, don't forget that the uncle of the captain himself said that you have to let go of everything.

Seeing his father's embarrassment, Zhang Guoqiang was really worried for his father, and quickly smiled, Uncle, don't worry. My father would not be happy. He is worried that Xiao Wu will not come back after going to the provincial capital today.

Jiaojiao's godfather took the couple to live in the provincial capital for a few days. You see, all three of their family are in the county now, and they don't know what to do next. My father is worried about delaying the affairs of the village, so it is difficult to agree. Don't worry, when someone from our family goes to the county town and sees Xiao Wu, he will tell him.

What godfather does Jiaojiao have? Why don't I know?

Zhang Guoqiang complained secretly, there are many things you don't know. Seeing his uncle staring at him, he had no choice but to explain the relationship between Zhao Chuanguang and Zhou Xiaozheng.

After listening to Uncle Zhang, he decisively decided to let Zhang Guoqing take care of himself. He also found an excuse to comfort himself, without Xiao Wu, wouldn't there be no one in the village going up the mountain?

Father Zhang, father and son heard this and laughed.

After Father Zhang talked about the fact that the second son Guoqiang would go to work in a few days, he didn't wait for Uncle Zhang to react. He changed the subject to inquire about Zhang Dani's situation.

Zhang Da Ni and Uncle Zhang have the best relationship among the three brothers, Zhang Da Ni and Uncle Zhang. Usually, Uncle Zhang is the vice-captain, and he often communicates with the captains of the villages. If he meets someone with relatives there, he will also come to inquire. More or less knew about Zhang Dani's situation.

Uncle Zhang shook his head, I heard last month that the couple is still the same as in previous years. The couple are in good health. I heard that and didn't ask anything else. As long as Da Ni and brother-in-law are well, our Zhang family doesn't care. The matter of going to his house. The conscience of those nephews has been fed to the dog, saying that they don't care about their own daughter-in-law's disobedience. I think they are unfilial.

The mother-in-law is disobedient, she beats her to death, and she quits if she refuses to accept it. Will she be filial? Originally, I wanted to go there, but your sister-in-law said that those children hated us. As long as Dani is fine, don't approach her, lest you get annoying. I think about it. how? Do you want to go and have a look?

Father Zhang handed him the pipe, I have this plan. Dani's early family fortune is probably gone, so I want to go and give some money. We brothers don't go there, fearing that no one will support her, and she will suffer.

In the past two years, except for Xiaowu's marriage, she didn't come back. This time, she asked someone to come over for the three baptisms in peace, and she happened to go over to have a look by returning the ceremony.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. I thought that she married with a small population and few right and wrong, but who knew that she would lose at the hands of her own children. Just such a sister, I just want to drag her home so that she doesn't have to do it for them. The family is like a cow or a horse.

Uncle Zhang thought to himself that the Zhou family had made such a big fuss, so Dani would have rushed over when she heard the news. But for some reason, it didn't come this time. He discussed with Zhang's father to wait until the child's full moon to see the situation, but he didn't come back then.
