There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the early morning, Zhou Jiao was in a daze. She touched her side habitually, and found that Zhang Guoqing had already got up early. With a jolt, she immediately woke up—the family was separated, and it was time for them to move.

A few days ago, the second child, Zhang Guoqiang, took advantage of his Sunday vacation and didn't go to work. He held a very simple house-entry ceremony and moved into the new yard. Zhou Jiao was envious of watching the whole process. Simple is good, so easy!

Today is finally the turn of Zhou Jiao's family to move. Said to be a family, that is, Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao brought a milk doll.

Yesterday, Father Zhang made an appointment with the couple to enter the house at noon. Zhou Jiao guessed that Zhang Guoqing should have gone to his yard next door to prepare for this meeting.

Holding banquets one after another, thinking of the chaos of Zhang Meili's moving house a while ago. This time, Zhang Guoqing and Zhang Guoqing did not let Father Zhang and the others notify their relatives.

For their husbands and wives, it is enough for the whole family to have a meal together. The relatives came to socialize and persuade to drink, and then my family would still be hungry, isn't it stupid?

But at eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Meili and his wife rushed over with Zhang Meili and his wife. Although Zhang Guoqing repeatedly told his family not to disclose the news of his move. But his two sisters have been staring at him for a long time, so how can they not count?

Zhang Guoqing was actually very happy to see his two sisters. His sister is still his family in his heart. Not letting parents notify is also afraid of delaying their work.

At ten o'clock at noon, after Zhang's father and mother took Zhang Guoqing and his wife to hold a ceremony, they stood in the front yard again, and Zhou Jiao still couldn't help laughing.

There are three main rooms, two side rooms on the left and right, and nothing else in the front yard except the flat ground, which is really simple enough.

On a whim, Zhang Guoqing used different colors of crops to intersect each other under the eaves, hanging strings of corn cobs, peppers and garlic, brand new coir raincoats and bamboo hats on the walls, and red paper-cuts pasted everywhere on the paper of each window. The newlyweds and new houses have been reorganized-now it still looks like a small folk courtyard with local characteristics.

Zhang Guoqing once said with a smile that if this is put in the future, he can put up a ticket to collect tickets.

The new yard has been tidied up and carefully decorated by the couple after several days of hard work. There are three rooms in the main house. Except that Zhang Guoqing moved all the old furniture from the original bedroom to the West Room, the most attractive one is the East Room.

The east room is used as the bedroom of Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. This time, in addition to buying a brand new wardrobe, two large wooden boxes and a kang qin, the couple also prepared brand new bedding and quilts for Zhang's father and Zhang mother.

The main hall in the middle follows the customs of the country, and Zhang Guoqing puts on a kang. There are big red Chinese knots (brought back from the old courtyard) on the wall of the kang head. On the kang, there are brand new kang mats. A large Kang table was placed on it, and a set of tea sets were added to the table. Three red plaid pillows were randomly piled up on the kang, and Zhang Meili was hugging the pillows at this moment.

There is an Eight Immortals table and four stools not far from the back door.

The Westinghouse served as the husband and wife's bedroom, and the furniture and all the decorations in it were exactly as they had been. This is the only thing that feels unchanged.

The furniture in the outer living room of the old courtyard was moved to the east wing adjacent to the kitchen and furnished as a study. The two west wing rooms on the opposite side became the family warehouse because of the small population.

After entering the house, Uncle Zhang brought the three-bedroom old Zhang family together in the new house. Zhou Jiao followed Zhang's mother and the others to the kitchen to prepare wine for warming the house, leaving Zhang Guoqing to chat with Zhang's men in the main room.

Father Zhang was very excited today, and brought Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang into the east room. Without saying a word, he pointed to the room with a smile on his face. After returning from the east room, Uncle Zhang patted Zhang Guoqing, for a moment he really had nothing to say to this nephew. It was a beautiful job.

After Uncle Zhang took off his shoes and got on the kang, he said with a smile, Xiao Wu, you've done a good job, better than your brothers. Learn from it!

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing quickly explained: Uncle, don't say that. Which one of our brothers is praised when we go out? Their situation is different from mine. I have selfish intentions. Without my parents by my side, Jiaojiao and I I don’t know how to live.”

Well, you little five, your trick has made us all unfilial sons. Brothers, beat him up for me. Make him feel bad. After Zhang Qingfeng finished speaking, a group of cousins ​​overwhelmed Zhang Guoqing and beat him up, making a fuss.

Uncle Zhang asked Father Zhang curiously, Second brother, do you want to move here? The two of them have prepared everything. This is more magnificent than the things in your house.

It's still comfortable in the old courtyard. I'm used to living in it and I don't want to move. I told the young couple that any kang in the west room is fine. They didn't listen. Jiaojiao said that I don't agree to live in the east room in the county town, so here is the east room.

Uncle Zhang glared, and said angrily: It's only two steps away from you, you're just messing around. I thought you would leave a room for the children to talk casually when you separated, but I didn't expect you to mean it.

Father Zhang smiled and said, Brother, I have my own ideas. Regardless of whether our old couple can live or not, the children must be kept for us. Why? Hehe, I have to let them remember that they form a small family , but father and mother are still father and mother, either throwing some money and food casually is filial piety. Even if we live with the boss, we will come back at any time. Besides, what if the old people dislike them or get angry?

After listening to Uncle Zhang pointing to him, he smiled and shook his head. He understood what his second brother meant. He didn't like it, and when he got angry, he stopped and went back to the other son's house. The truth is this truth, but others don't have the confidence. Some elderly people in the village do not live with their elder sons, and it is not uncommon for other sons not to accept them. His second brother has the youngest son, so he has confidence. Xiao Wu, a bad boy, deliberately tidy up for his two sister-in-laws to see.

In the kitchen, Zhang's mother saw that Zhou Jiao and the three sisters-in-law were cooperating very well, and the older generation had nothing to do here, so she took her two sisters-in-law back to the east room. The three of them got on the kang, Zhang's mother opened the drawer of the kangqin to see, and sure enough there were pastries in it. She secretly scolded the prodigal daughter-in-law, but she was very happy.

Sister-in-law and siblings fill their stomachs first. This pastry is delicious.

Xiao Wu prepared it for you, right? Are you staying here tonight? Aunt Zhang took a bite, it was indeed delicious. Just now her little grandson held it in his hand and kept chewing on it. If it didn't taste good, he wouldn't eat it.

Yesterday Jiaojiao went to the market with her second sister-in-law and brought them back to me. Like the second family, we both stayed for three nights. Zhang's mother didn't say that her prodigal daughter-in-law brought back a pair of sheepskin boots for her yesterday.

She had never worn such good shoes in her life, and she never thought that she would wear them when she was old and her daughter-in-law bought them. The daughter-in-law here really has nothing to say to her. Two days after confinement, she and her wife washed and hung up the old clothes in the main room, and took them out to replace them with new cotton as soon as they were dry. Just because I casually said that old clothes are not eye-catching in the village, it's a pity that they are thin.

After eating warm house wine, Zhang Guoqing and his wife saw them off, looked around the front and back yards and returned to the bedroom.

Zhou Jiao lay paralyzed on the kang, staring at the roof with ecstasy. She planned to buy supplies honestly, and don't even think about tidying up the backyard.

Seeing her expression, Zhang Guoqing burst out laughing. I don't know who was very high-spirited just now, and pointed out what to plant in the coming year, and the plan seemed to be the same.

He had known for a long time that she would be disappointed when she saw the backyard. Even if the broken stones have been cleared, the wasteland is wasteland. If the land has not been cultivated for a year or two, how can it be the same as the old yard and backyard?

Jiaojiao, I'll take you up the mountain to find something good. As soon as Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, she immediately stood up and looked at him with bright eyes. He pointed at his son.

Zhou Jiao laughed straight, picked up the child and said, Then go find your mother to come and see your son. I'll feed it and just set off. Seeing Zhang Guoqing nodding and walking outside, she kissed the child excitedly.
