There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhou Jiao looked at the bright red silk brocade jacket on the kang, and nodded with satisfaction. She didn't know what kind of material it was, but the red color was very positive. Under the sun, the fabric is still faintly shiny.

In order not to waste this material, she expended a lot of energy. It took her two days just to write the big and small blessings on it. Not to mention the dark lines on the sleeves and corners. This kind of material is old, and she doesn't intend to throw it away. The whole set of clothes is very beautiful, like a handicraft. Her son deserves better.

Hearing the voice from outside, she excitedly ran to the door of the outer living room, waved to a group of people outside, and immediately greeted them happily.

Today Zhou Jiao is wearing a red sweater and a pair of black pants. I just ran out of the back room and didn't have time to put on my coat. The whole looks tall, standing there slim and graceful.

Running over like this, Zhao Chuanguang hurried forward to meet her.

You child, why don't you stay in the house? Go in quickly.

Zhou Jiao said with a smile: Isn't it happy to see you all? Why are all the uncles and aunts here? You are so busy with work, I will go to the provincial capital to see how well you are doing.

After finishing speaking, he laughed happily at the lesbians behind Lin Lishan, and blinked mischievously, The ones behind my mother must be my aunt and aunt, and then my cousin and aunt. Godmother, look at me Great, right?

Huang Huimin nodded straight, and pulled her inside, Amazing. Our Jiaojiao is smart. Don't rush to say hello, the rest are familiar. Go in and see our little one first.

Zhou Jiao turned her head and smiled at everyone, watched them follow in, and said to Zhao Chuanguang: Godfather, you help me entertain my uncles. My father said that you are all brothers, so let me not be polite to you. I will listen to my father. You pour the tea yourself. The tea is next to the water bottle. I will take my aunts and my mother inside to chat.

Feng Wei kicked Zhao Chuanguang unwillingly, Jiaojiao, since you called Uncle Guang a godfather, then you must also be a godfather to us. We agreed at the beginning that you are our daughter. Hurry up and call me godfather. Listen, Dad. As soon as he finished speaking, the other two booed.

Zhao Chuanguang hurriedly pushed her in, Go in quickly. My daughter will be robbed by some bandits later.

Seeing them booing, Zhou Jiao shouted with a smile, Uncles, you must fight the evil forces to the end. Remember to tell me who won.

Feng Wei saw all the women entering the back room, and patted the two brothers beside him, How is it? Follow Brother Zheng? As expected of Brother Zheng's child. However, I think my temper is the most like me. Really, don't laugh. Ah Guang is doing this Dad is useless. I think Jiaojiao is the most like me, she should be my daughter. If you have a daughter, don't argue.

A few people pulled him to hold him down, and there was such nonsense.

As soon as Zhang Guoqing came in, he saw them making a fuss, laughing at whatever happy things should be said in the back room. Seeing that the table was empty, he hurried forward to make tea.

Okay. Don't make trouble. The in-laws will laugh when they see it. Little son-in-law, quickly take our little grandson out. Feng Wei withdrew from the battlefield and hurriedly urged him.

Seeing him coming in, Zhou Jiao pulled him to introduce everyone, Brother, this is our cousin. I met my cousin last time. This is my cousin, isn't she as beautiful as my aunt? This is our uncle, we The marriage certificate was all helped by my aunt. And this is our little aunt. Are you and my cousin very young? These four aunts are the lovers of four uncles outside. These are the aunts of Uncle Feng Wei’s family. This one is the aunt of Uncle Li Yang’s family, this is the aunt of Uncle Dahe’s family. The last one is the aunt of Old Fifth Uncle’s family. You already know the rest, so I won’t introduce you.”

After Zhang Guoqing greeted them and carried the child out. Huang Huimin touched her head curiously, Girl, how do you know who your four aunts belong to? Are you not afraid of making mistakes?

Zhou Jiao came to her senses, they hadn't introduced themselves yet. She observed it, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Godmother, uncles and aunts are in a good relationship. I took a look. Ouch, this hurts my daughter-in-law. The impression is too deep. I will remember it. For example, when you go out with your godfather, people will recognize it.

Zhou Jiao's words made everyone in the room laugh and wink at the four of them. These days, few men show their wives outwardly, and they have always pretended to ignore them outside. How it went back inside was another matter.

After eleven o'clock, Zhang's mother brought the hot water and took the barber to the small living room to stay. After coming to the bedroom and saying hello to everyone, she asked Zhou Jiao to go out for a haircut with the child in her arms.

Zhou Jiao heard her mention this point yesterday. Holding the child, a group of people all came out to watch the excitement.

The barber asked her to gently hold the child's head and not let him move. Wet the top of his head with a hot towel, and he straightened it up very quickly, and put his hair in the red cloth prepared by Zhang's mother.

Mother Zhang asked Zhou Jiao to wrap the red cloth first and put it under the safety pillow.

After the barber finished tidying up his tools, Zhang Guoqing came in and dragged him to the main room, resolutely refusing to let him leave, and let him have a glass of wine. The master was invited back from the county seat by himself. Seeing him coming over on a self-confident car, he was ashamed to let him eat it, so he stuffed a red envelope to pass it away. He didn't come here for the red envelopes, it's still a matter of face for his craftsmanship.

Today, the master chef, photo studio master, and hairdresser invited here all prepared a small bamboo basket gift and a red envelope. Make everyone happy.

In the bedroom, Lin Lishan took out a set of red silk padded jacket and trousers. Seeing what Zhou Jiao was holding, she came over to take a look, and knew that she had done it herself, so she gave her an annoyed look. In the end, after a comparison, it was really not as good as Zhou Jiao's.

After Zhang's mother took a bath for Xiao Ping'an and changed the inside and outside, Lin Lishan personally put on the gold lock piece, gold bracelet, and gold anklet for him, and pulled out the jade pendant Huang Huimin gave him and put it on the outside of the clothes.

I saw Xiao Ping'an looking back and forth with his big eyes open, and he didn't know what he saw and smiled. The child's whole body was covered in red clothes, which set off the white smiling face, and looked better than the dolls in the New Year pictures, except that he was holding a big carp.

Everyone looked at him in secret surprise. This just full moon is very clever, looking at his expression as if he understands. They all laughed and praised him vigorously.

As soon as the photographer arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Guofu, Zhang's boss, invited him to the main room. Declining Father Zhang to let him rest first, busy arranging to move chairs and stools to the yard.

Everything is ready. Zhou Jiao took off Ping'an's jewelry and stuffed the jade pendant into his underwear, thinking about leaving the gold lock piece. This was prepared by her father, and it was specially thin and small, so it didn't affect much.

Zhou Jiao took the baby with everyone to the yard to take pictures. In addition to the safe full moon photo and the family photo of a family of three. Zhang Guoqing also asked the master to take a group photo of everyone, a family photo, a photo of his parents and so on. Everyone took turns and finally took a hand-in paper.

The photo was taken just in time for the banquet. Cold dishes have been placed on the table, and hot dishes are waiting to be seated.

As everyone was seated, hot dishes were served one after another, Zhou Jiao greeted them, and carried the child back to the room first. Zhang Meili has been guarding in the house, even taking a picture of her family, and she is nowhere to be seen. Now that Zhou Jiao went in with the baby in her arms, she just wanted her to sit at the banquet.

Sister, give me the book, and go eat a few bites.

Zhang Meili shook her head, Take care of these favors first, and everyone will go home when the meeting is over. I heard that Xiao Wu has recorded the gift money in the notebook. The gift money has not been touched, and the red envelope will be sealed immediately after opening. It is written on it. Names. The rest are Uncle Zhou’s five brothers, how do you arrange them? Originally, Xiao Wu said that your godfather would be taken first. But now five people came all of a sudden, all with similar gifts, and the gift money is the same.”

They put it aside for now. I'll ask my mother later, my father should have ordered it. Zhou Jiao looked at these red envelopes with a headache. She is most annoyed by these human relations.

Zhang Meili thought about the gifts she was preparing, and couldn't help asking her, Except for relatives, if the gifts in the village are all in small bamboo baskets, will the gifts prepared by Xiaowu be too thick? Some of them only bring a few eggs.

Zhou Jiao frowned, with a bitter face, Where's mother? Let's find mother. I don't understand either. It's all caused by Xiao Wu. Listen to mother.

Mother just said, let's see if two hundred copies are enough? She said it must be enough. You see, two people from your grandma and aunt's house, you can't just give two copies? And our uncle's family, the separated son All of them brought presents, and I have to give one too. Mother means, the village directly gives eggs and steamed corn bread. For the two tables of the elders of the clan, regardless of whether anyone in his family has returned the gift, each person has a small bamboo basket. The rest Give everything to relatives.

Zhou Jiao nodded quickly, Well, listen to your mother. Listen to your mother. Let's do it like this.

Zhang Meili covered her mouth and lay down on the table with a smile. She knew Jiaojiao was annoyed by these things. Seeing that she hadn't waited for her to finish speaking, she nodded happily and said, Mother. She couldn't help laughing. How annoying these human relations are.

Okay. That's it. Don't leave the house! There are too many things in it. If you come in with bad manners, just take whatever you want. I'll come whenever I go. You can stay here at ease and don't go away. After Zhang Meili finished speaking, she looked inside uneasy, and when she saw her nodding, she went out.

Zhang Meili has been watching all morning, afraid of losing things. Zhou Xiaozheng, the Cheng family, and the Lin family all gave gold and jade pendants. Now it's a full box. Those from the village who came to help just now saw the golden locks on Ping'an's body, and their eyes almost dropped. If you know what's inside, you might as well run over and grab them all.

She still remembers the time when she beat the landlord. A group of people went up to grab it with red eyes, and finally trampled to death. If it wasn't for the soldiers who came out at the end, it is estimated that no one would have escaped. Now she finally knew why Zhou Jiao kept hiding. Today, even Cheng Hongli and the others didn't enter the bedroom, and she didn't force her.

What she saw today, she was really afraid that she would talk in her sleep and let the child's father hear it. As long as she thinks of the previous washing three and the present big gift, her heart keeps pounding. Zhang Meili intends to remind Zhang Guoqing to go out in private, so don't get drunk and be tricked by others.
