There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The weather was getting colder day by day, and the time passed while Zhou Jiao took Zhang Guoqing up the mountain to find supplies. Seeing that the heavy snow was coming, Zhang Guoqing began to pack his usual luggage at home.

Taking advantage of a sunny day, the new courtyard is entrusted to Zhang's parents who have already returned to live in the old courtyard. He called a carriage and took Zhou Jiao, his son, and a pile of luggage back to the county seat.

As soon as Zhang Guoqing returned to the small courtyard in the county seat, he was relieved. Living in the village, people come and go to his house every day, and the main room is full of smoke every day. Regardless of whether the visitor has friendship or not, when he sees him and pulls him to express kindness, talk about dating, and make friends, it makes him very distressed.

The most unbearable thing was that some women ran into his room without saying hello, sitting on the Kang and smoking dry cigarettes, and they still didn't forget to hold Zhou Jiao's hand, their voices were so loud that even sleeping children woke up. It doesn't matter that the relationship was alienated before, spit and make loud noises, and the children they brought were rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head when he thought of this period of flying around. His family really has no plan to go back in a short time, and they dare not go back.

In the living room, Zhou Jiao put the child into the cradle that Zhao Dashan gave her, pulled Zhang Guoqing up and said, Brother, let's follow the original plan. Let's play the dress-up game first.

Zhang Guoqing laughed straight away, making the best use of the space. As soon as the master carpenter notified him two days ago, he took Zhou Jiao to take the opportunity to put the finished furniture into the space, and changed them all when he came to the county. Even thinking about the reasons, and even how to deal with Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, the couple agreed.

Zhou Jiao dragged him to the bedroom, touched it lightly with her hands, and the bedroom was completely empty. Watch her arrange new furniture like a fairy tapping a magic wand, put on clothes without any effort, and change them cleanly in the blink of an eye.

Even though Zhang Guoqing had seen it many times, he still couldn't help being shocked. This space can still be used or not in the future, if any traces are exposed, it will be a catastrophe.

Zhang Guoqing looked at the new two rows of closed bookshelves in the study with satisfaction. Although it cost a lot of money, it is not conspicuous when it is closed. Afterwards, they lived in the county town for a long time, and there were more people coming and going, and there were also many jealous people. Anything less is less. Now he is afraid that others will turn over old accounts.

Do you want to tell my dad that we changed it like this? You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from my dad. Knowing that I like these old things the most, he must suspect that something happened to us, and he might rush over immediately.

Zhang Guoqing nodded after listening. The couple explained to the outside world that they don't like to give away old things separately. He can only deceive ordinary people, but not his father-in-law.

Be sure to tell Dad clearly. Uncle Dashan and godfather will definitely not believe what we say, and they will definitely mention it to Dad. According to what we told our parents, things are too expensive, and there are many people who secretly envy us. We found a reason and secretly hid it for future use. Dad will cover it up for us as soon as he hears it.

Seeing that the study room has been changed, Zhou Jiao dragged Zhang Guoqing to the living room, nodding her head in agreement. It happened that she was about to write a letter to tell her father that he would live in the county, and that the address would be changed in letters and telegrams.

Zhang Guoqing saw that she was distracted, and reminded: Don't touch your son's cradle. The space has closed the cradle. It's not a joke that our son fell.

Zhou Jiao squinted at him, thinking about covering her mouth and grinning. She remembered that she had always dreamed that he was taken into the space by herself, which scared her to wake up all of a sudden.

After tidying up the main room, the two went to the kitchen to finish changing the table. Smelling the smell of burning briquettes, they looked at each other, and at the same time pointed to the next room, where there was a real kang, which connected to the kitchen. It used to be the nanny and aunt, but now it can be used.

Zhang Guoqing looked at the room with satisfaction. It had been cleaned before and was very clean. Said: I'll wipe it with disinfectant. After cooking and eating, let him lie here, and he can hear him crying.

Zhou Jiao continued: In case an outsider comes here temporarily, we can arrange to move in after changing the quilt.

Zhang Guoqing brought a bucket of hot water, mixed some disinfectant to scrub, and opened the door to let the air circulate. After waiting for a while, she asked Zhou Jiao to spread out the new kang mats and quilts. After touching them with her hands, there was no problem, and then put on pillows and quilts.

His family has a lot of quilts now, and he is worried that the cotton purchase restriction will be stricter next year. The last time the old quilts were refurbished, Master Tuofang bought a few more quilts, plus the military quilts sent by Zhao Chuanguang. If there is no accident, it will be enough for a few more children.

The couple went back to the living room, looked at each other from the inside out and smiled, safety is more important than anything else. Next, Zhang Guoqing has to borrow a truck to cover up, otherwise no one would suspect that things disappeared out of nowhere.

After lunch and a break, Zhang Guoqing started to go out to do errands without stopping.

As the end of the year approaches, he will be there every time during this period. After several markets, he more or less found some big resellers. There is no shortage of smart people in any age. Some people collect food from acquaintances to earn the difference. This will be to rush to the other party to discuss the time of delivery.

Zhang Guoqing found Shulinzi in the eastern suburbs in advance, and waited for the other party to deliver the goods in the evening. He and Zhou Jiao would push the cart there, and no one would be able to see that they were already hiding in Zhou Jiao's space. There is no big mistake in being careful. Although the situation is not tense now, he is afraid that things will be exposed to danger in the famine year, so he has carefully planned every precaution he can do.

In an earthen house surrounded by bamboo fences, Zhang Guoqing was wearing a padded jacket and a hat, covering only his eyes, and was making an agreement with the other party to trade in the woods at eight o'clock tonight. After negotiating and paying the deposit, he left in a hurry.

After the two parties agreed on a time, Zhang Guoqing left the village, intending to go to the Ministry of Armed Forces to see Zhao Dashan. When he and Zhou Jiao came back, they always wanted to say hello to him. Furthermore, I have been talking about going to neighboring provinces to buy grain to see what he plans. If not, he intends to introduce him to a local grain seller. If he went, he would have to find Zhang's mother to help him look after the child. How can I hide without Zhou Jiao going there?

Zhang Guoqing came to Zhao Dashan's office. It's the end of the year, and the department is very vacant. When Zhao Dashan saw him coming, he knew he was fine, so he came to visit. Zhao Dashan gave him a hard look.

Asked why, Zhang Guoqing laughed. He really didn't expect that Zhao Dashan and his wife would never forget to go to sea. It's fashionable enough to catch the sea in this cold weather. Knowing that he had bought a lot of fine grains at the market, Zhang Guoqing was relieved. He really didn't expect that the couple had been waiting for him to have time to set off together.

The two agreed to take their family to set off early if the weather did not change on the weekend. After that, the two happily discussed the route along the way and the supplies that needed to be purchased.

Zhang Guoqing borrowed the truck when leaving. Once back home, with the help of Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing deliberately drove away in a tarpaulin truck in front of people, went around the county town, and ran to a village with fewer people in the distance. .
