There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

After lunch and seeing Ping An falling asleep, Mrs. Cheng took Lin Lishan, mother and daughter, out. Along the way, the old lady didn't say where to go first. Seeing her, she asked Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter to follow her.

After traveling by bus for more than half an hour, Mrs. Cheng finally took their mother and daughter around the alley and turned around to a large courtyard.

The outside of the courtyard was in a mess, the aisles were filled with debris, and there was a pungent smell of urine.

After entering the yard, Zhou Jiao counted the coal piles under the eaves and windows, and there were at least seven or eight families living there. Carefully paying attention to her steps, she followed Mrs. Cheng until she reached the door of the innermost house.

Mrs. Cheng knocked on the door, and soon poked her head out of the door, and shrank behind the door. The other party should be an acquaintance, and opened the small opening that can only allow one person to pass sideways.

Once inside, the two rooms are not big. After entering the back room, the other party lifted the quilt, took out two packages and handed them to Mrs. Cheng, and opened the door after accepting the food coupons that Mrs. Cheng handed him, letting them leave.

There was no word in the whole process, it was mysterious.

After leaving the courtyard, the distance is far away. Mrs. Cheng told each other's stories.

This family is also surnamed Cheng, so of course it has nothing to do with the Jiangnan Cheng family.

Open the door This is Master Cheng's only son. Speaking of this Mr. Cheng who has never met, he is a poor man.

In the early years, he was famous for his clothes making skills, and he worked hard to buy this courtyard, and he and his wife gave birth to five sons and two daughters. After war*chaos* disasters, now there is only one son and one daughter alive. After liberation, he worked as a pattern maker in a garment factory. It was not easy for the family to live a peaceful life.

As a result, someone reported that he made clothes for GMD officers and little devils. Although it was finally found out that he was forced to do nothing, he has already become a frightened bird.

The neighborhood committee of the street informed him that the courtyard was too large and he needed to arrange people to live in it. He made room without saying a word, leaving only two rooms for himself. I never dared to ask for money when I took over the job, only food stamps.

Zhou Jiao felt that this person was not worried, but cautious. Dare to take private jobs, but still timid? Asking for food stamps but not money is just an excuse.

Hearing that his business is very good, she smiled slightly. Cats have their way, mice have their way. This is also a way of survival. I didn't see her aunt and grandma's tone full of sympathy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter and Mrs. Cheng got on a tricycle and came to a house.

This family is a single family, the paint on the door is mottled, and the ground is very clean.

After knocking on the door, an old lady came out. Two old ladies who were over half a century old avoided Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter and muttered in the corner.

Zhou Jiao glanced at the half-opened door, and the yard inside was very tidy. Looking at the mottled spots on the gate again, she sighed secretly, she met all the smart people today.

She secretly swore that if she met a few more families like this, she would stay in the compound when she returned to Beijing, and the family would never live outside.

She never underestimates others. There are too many people in Sijiucheng, and she is stupid with a lot of money, and she will be cannon fodder sooner or later. Then listen to her mother whispering in her ear, planning to go to the Friendship Mall.

Ouch... She found out that her family is all rich and stupid!

Mrs. Cheng finally finished her work, said goodbye to the other party with a smile, and brought the mother and daughter out. After walking for a while, she seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She kept looking at Zhou Jiao, hesitating to speak.

Auntie, you can say whatever you want. Your granddaughter is brave and can bear it!

Zhou Jiao couldn't take it anymore. She had just noticed that the old woman had been staring at her and pinching her fingers quietly. Her aunt and grandma looked at each other with a serious face - now that superstition is broken, this old Party member is really low-minded.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her with a smile, You found out? I knew I couldn't hide it from you.

What did you find? Why don't I know what my aunt is hiding? Lin Lishan looked at the two of them with a puzzled face.

Mrs. Cheng was so anxious that she pulled the two of them to hide in the corner, checked the surroundings to make sure there was no one there, and said quietly: Shut up. No one can tell others. I'll tell you.

Zhou Jiao covered her mouth and grinned. She suspected that the old lady could not hold back for a long time. She never expected that a dignified lady who has read poetry and books would believe in these ghosts and gods.

Seeing Lin Lishan nodding repeatedly, the old lady was satisfied. She whispered: That person just now is a witch, very effective. I gave Xiaozheng's birth date to her to count.

She said the child's parents had both passed away, but the child is still alive today. The child suffers a lot in the first half of his life, and there is a big disaster at the age of thirty to forty. After the age of forty, when the opportunity comes, he will flourish overnight.

Do you hear it is very effective? She doesn't tell fortunes for people now. I am her old friend and buy a lot of gold and silver candles from her every year. She just made a deal for Jiaojiao.

Auntie, how much does she pay for fortune-telling?

Now she doesn't tell fortunes for others, and she doesn't take money anymore.

Seeing her triumphant, Zhou Jiao secretly laughed. Her aunt and grandma must be fascinated by each other. She never believed it. At the beginning, the other party must have heard clues from the old lady's mouth and deduced it.

As for life and death, there was danger every day in that era. A birth date can be calculated, how can it be so evil. The whole country should not have too many babies born at the same time every minute. Isn't it true that everyone has the same fate?

Jiaojiao, have you had any life-threatening accidents in the past two years? She said that you will have a catastrophe when you are 15-17 years old, and it is also a life-and-death test. Just now she said that you have passed the life-and-death test, and the rest of your life will be smooth.

Zhou Jiao frowned, could there really be such a wicked thing? She subconsciously looked in the direction of the yard just now. The test of life and death should be her crossing this time.

Auntie, what else did she say?

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Cheng knew she had been verified again.

She looked into the distance with her eyes adoringly, and said: She said that you are now in your spiritual state. After passing this life-and-death tribulation, your life will be smooth, and whatever you think will be sent to you in the future.

I don't worry about reporting your father's birthday to her again. Your father's disaster has been solved. Your father is already forty-one, and he has survived a great ordeal. I feel at ease.

She said that your father's catastrophe will be resolved with your life and death. I have to let your dad remember this, and take good care of us Jiaojiao in the future.

Resting her mind and soul, Zhou Jiao pondered these four words carefully. Then she laughed dumbfounded. She is really confused, and she really believes that her life will be smooth in the future. Waves of crises are coming. Who can say, who dares to say that there will be no changes in the future?

Auntie, so Brother Zheng won't be in danger anymore, right? We Jiaojiao are all fine, right? She didn't say anything else, did she?

Seeing the old lady smiling and nodding and saying no, Lin Lishan was so happy that she couldn't stop giggling. After a while, she frowned and stared at Zhou Jiao.

Okay. Let me tell you, okay? Let's talk as we walk. It's not good to stay here. Zhou Jiao pulled the two of them forward and whispered, If I guessed correctly, the life and death robbery that person said should be It was the day of my birthday. At that time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law supported me with half a hundred-year-old ginseng. Oh, by the way, this ginseng was collected by Xiao Wu in the mountains.

The old lady Cheng said with a smile: In the future, you must be filial to Xiao Wu's parents. Whether Xiao Wu is ready or not, your parents-in-law are thinking about it. They will be our family's saviors in the future.

Fortunately married to Xiaowu. Auntie, I need to prepare a few more chickens to make up for my son-in-law, and I have to buy gifts to send to the Northeast. Help me find out what to buy.

Zhou Jiao was secretly happy watching Mrs. Cheng talking intimately with her mother. She had already discovered that the old lady was dissatisfied with her mother, but this was her mother.

She hoped that her father would not be caught in the middle and be difficult to be a man. There was Gu Ruyi, whose family was already in crisis, and an outsider added a few words, her father, she knew it too well. He will make a quick and rational decision!

For seventeen years of waiting, she must protect Lin Lishan. Besides, her father is divorced, so it is impossible to find another one with his personality. Even if the superior arranges a partner, but in the future, the son will sue the father, and the wife will sue the husband, who can love her father as deeply as her mother?
