There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 272 Father Zhang Visits Sister 1

In the early morning, Father Zhang woke up without any sleepiness. He was lying on the kang in the east room, with a soft mattress underneath, and a fluffy and warm quilt covering his body, surrounded by his wife's slight snoring.

In the dark, he seemed to see his elder sister Zhang Dani curling her thin body and shivering against the cold, her white hair outside the old black quilt was extremely dazzling.

For this eldest sister, Father Zhang has very complicated feelings-sorrow for her misfortune and hatred for her indisputable. A weak mother raised a weak son. This is the family's misfortune, and it is also her own fate.

How many times did he remind her that the eldest son should not be reluctant to follow the old man, but what about her? It seems that she can't trust her own father; how many times he asked her to choose her daughter-in-law, don't listen to the wind and rain, but she turned around and forgot.

Father Zhang feels powerless about the eldest sister who will meet today. A foolish person thinks he is smart when he does foolish things, and he mixes it with a pile of mud. How can he help him? At this moment, he was even more worried about what happened to Zhang Dani?

Things are impermanent. These days, Father Zhang often thinks of Zhang Dani who is wearing a flower jacket. Who would have thought that the precious girl who was raised in the hands of his parents would be so miserable in her later years?

There was a slight movement in the main room, and Father Zhang woke up from his daze. After a jolt, he immediately got up and dressed, and went outside to see that it was his old son who got up early in the morning to clean the yard.

Seeing him coming out, Zhang Guoqing asked softly, Father, did I disturb you? It's still early, why don't you take a rest?

Dad Zhang shook his head and said, No, I'm old and can't sleep. Dad wants to go for a walk.

Zhang Guoqing followed closely behind him, and the two left the main room. I saw Father Zhang looking up at the sky, it was so dark, what is there to see?

He could only persuade: Father, don't worry. You should see what's going on with Auntie first. If there is something to do, we will discuss it when we come back. If there is something to do, your old son will help you. There are solutions to everything in this world. .”

Father Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: Father knows. You go about your own business first. Father, go and see if your uncle and the others are up?

Then be careful, remember to call out if you have something to do. Jiaojiao has already woken up, remember to come back for dinner early. Zhang Guoqing followed behind worryingly. Uncle Zhang's yard, he went back to the yard with peace of mind.

Not long after breakfast, Father Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and three brothers boarded a carriage that had been booked earlier and headed for Liujiatun in Lin County.

Liujiatun, this is Zhang Dani's husband's village, a small village of 200 to 100 households, not far from Linxian County, the transportation is very convenient, but compared to remote villages, the village has very little land.

There are no mountains and no seas around. In the early years, the whole village mainly made a living as small merchants and peddlers. Now trapped in the village, he can only go to the fields to farm.

Zhang Dani now lives in an old house with her eldest son's family, and her home is located at the end of the village. A fenced yard, five earth embryo houses. This is the old house built by Zhang Dani, a chef husband, after returning home.

It was already almost noon when Zhang's three brothers arrived.

After getting off the car at the door, I saw that except for a walkway in the yard, the ground, firewood pile, and roof were all covered with snow, which had not been cleaned up. There are many gaps in the fenced yard and it has not been neatly repaired.

It has been too long since the three brothers Zhang and Dad came last time. In their memory, the always tidy small courtyard of Zhang Dani's house is now a mess.

Father Zhang and the three brothers looked at each other, unable to conceal the surprise on their faces, they didn't understand what happened. They all know that their brother-in-law is an honest man, and even more diligent.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang took the lead in pushing open the courtyard door that was about to collapse, and called Aunt Zhang a few times loudly. After calling Big Sister a few times, he saw that no one agreed, and suddenly remembered that everyone should be working at this moment.

The three brothers went into the yard and pushed away from the outbuilding. Going in and looking, Uncle Zhang and the three brothers were so angry that they saw Westinghouse's nephew and daughter-in-law coming out with disheveled hair and rubbing her eyes.

As soon as the other party saw the three of them, his eyes widened immediately, and he stared at the package they brought with them, and then he greeted them with a natural expression, and after pouring three bowls of hot water, After making Uncle Zhang stare a few times, she glanced at the package on the kang anxiously, and hurried out to find her in-laws.

Seeing this, Zhang's father and the three brothers shook their heads. This look is too ugly, and she is too lazy, if this is the daughter-in-law of their old Zhang family, she will have rushed back to her mother's house long ago.

Uncle Zhang took a look inside the room, opened the curtain of the east room, and saw that the kang inside was neat and tidy, and he felt relieved. He was worried that Aunt Zhang and his wife were not in good health.

Aunt Zhang and the old couple called out the nicknames of the three brothers before they entered the yard. To her, it was not surprising that the three brothers from her natal family would come over. She had a premonition that they would come. She couldn't rush back the full moon wine for the youngest grandson of her natal family, so she was worried that they would be worried about coming over. Besides, even if they don't come, she must go back to her mother's house tomorrow.

After entering the east room, Aunt Zhang pushed her three younger brothers onto the kang, and asked her wife Liu Dazhu to accompany them. She planned to go out to make lunch early by herself, and entertain her natal family no matter what.

When Father Zhang saw her, he immediately grabbed her and said, Sister, don't be too busy, don't worry about eating. Let's have a good chat first. He came here for this eldest sister. She was leaving, how could their three brothers talk to her.

Aunt Zhang heard this, and she said to the eldest daughter-in-law who followed, Master, you go prepare. Remember to make the bacon at home.

Father Zhang saw the displeasure on his eldest niece and daughter-in-law's face, and he knew that her family didn't have much. He didn't say anything to postpone it, and picked up one from the pile of parcels on the kang and handed it to Zhang Dani, and said, There is food here. Sister, show me what to do. Eat at noon.

This time, Father Zhang didn't know what his wife and Jiaojiao had prepared. But this package was handed to him by Jiaojiao herself. His youngest daughter-in-law had a good plan and said that this would be given to the eldest cousin, and the rest would be handed over to her eldest aunt.

Seeing the eldest niece and daughter-in-law leaving happily carrying the package, Father Zhang looked at the two brothers, pointed at the package, and said, Sister, put these away first, and I'll look at them later.

Uncle Zhang then nodded with a smile and said, Except for these two, which were prepared by your older and younger siblings, the rest were brought by your second brother. You put them away first.

Sister, there are fabrics and cotton inside, all of which are good things. You put them away first. Uncle Zhang pushed Zhang Dani to tell her to hurry up. He knew that it wouldn't be long, and once his granddaughters-in-law and nieces came over, there would be nothing left without his elder sister's arrangements.

Aunt Zhang kept opening a few packages and looked at them, complaining, Why do you bring so many things here? I don't lack food or clothing. There are so many people in our family, we don't want to keep good things. Why are you moving to my place? No one is going to our village this time, and you can’t take away the gifts you have prepared. If you don’t come this time, I’m going to go tomorrow too. Sister is doing well, don’t worry.”
