There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

At noon the next day, the family was eating. There was a knock on the door outside, Zhang Guoqing motioned to everyone for them to continue eating, and got up to open the door by himself.

Standing outside the door were Zhang Laoer and his wife with stones and ears of wheat, and baskets in their hands.

Why is your house locked now? Have you eaten yet? Zhang Laoer asked immediately when he saw him.

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly let them in, and said with a smile, Come in and have some food together. Parents mentioned you just now. Second sister-in-law, what are you doing with the basket? Isn't it another food delivery?

It's not a good thing. Parents are inside, right? We have something to discuss with you. Lin Juhua smiled.

A group of people entered the kitchen, and Zhou Jiao invited them to have dinner together. Zhang's second son quickly refused. The family had just eaten in the cafeteria, so there was no need for his brothers to be polite.

After Zhang father drank a bowl of soup, he put down his chopsticks and looked at his second child.

Father, you eat first. Don't worry about what I want to say.

Stop talking nonsense. You have to go to work in the afternoon and you are not in a hurry to come over with your family? Let's talk. Father Zhang laughed.

Zhang Guoqiang chuckled and pointed at Lin Juhua.

Seeing this, Lin Juhua sat down quickly and said, Father, Xiao Shitou has become an accountant, and my brother-in-law and his father are coming down these two days. There was another quarrel at home in the morning. His mother fell down this time and was about to send her to the county seat. .Except for the boss, everyone else ran home and disappeared. I saw something was wrong, so I hurried to find the child's father. Do you want to send a letter to the eldest sister's house?

Father Zhang nodded without saying what to do, and then asked: Is there anything else besides this?

Yes. The old captain asked Xiao Wu to go back this weekend. I asked him what was the matter, and he said it was a good thing, but he didn't say anything else. Uncle and uncle also asked Xiao Wu to go back to his hometown. He said that he didn't know how to go home when he went to the capital. Talk about the situation. There is nothing else, and the family is fine.

Mother Zhang laughed and said, Xiao Wu really wants to go back. When you go home, tell him that he doesn't go to work this weekend, and we all go back. Father, do you want to talk to Chunming about your in-laws?

Father Zhang nodded and said: The second family is doing well! Now that we know about it, we should inform Haomei and let them go home quickly, and they must be sent to the hospital first. No matter what happens to their family, our family cannot Unfilial sons and grandchildren. The child's mother and I will go to the beautiful house first. The house will be handed over to Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiao hurried back to him, reassuring them, and secretly worried about Zhang Meili. The hard-fated eldest sister is going to suffer again. She looked at Zhang Guoqing, only to see him winking and shaking his head slightly.

As soon as Father Zhang left, Zhang Guoqing said: Let's not go there. Let's see how the brother-in-law's brothers will deal with it. If we go over, it will not be all on the elder sister. No one's money is blown by the wind. Ouch, It’s only thirty yuan a month for me to work hard, so I’m so worried.”

Zhou Jiao and the others laughed out loud when they heard the words. It was rare to hear that Zhang Guoqing was actually worried about money.

Zhang Laoer laughed for a while, then woke up, and quickly asked: Did I spend all my money on going out this time? I have money in my hand, so you use it first. Anyway, I am not in a hurry to buy a house, and the money is useless.

Lin Juhua immediately said: Well, we have saved all the money from the separation and haven't used it. We will use our family first. After a few years, if we don't have enough money to buy a house, I will ask you for it. I am always afraid of people borrowing money if I have money at home. You forget it.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone laughed again.

Zhang Guoqing winked at his second brother, and joked: Aren't you unable to sleep peacefully at night because you are afraid that someone will steal it? When someone comes during the day, you will be startled, for fear that someone will borrow money?

Stop talking nonsense, I'll deliver it tomorrow. Is it in time? Zhang Lao Er kicked him and laughed.

Zhang Guoqing hastily stopped him, Don't take it seriously, we have money in our hands. Not to mention my father-in-law, how many red envelopes does Ping An have? This time I came back, nothing else, just in the provincial capital, and we received red envelopes. Be soft.

Zhang Lao Er heard it, and it was true after thinking about it. There were a lot of red envelopes on the child that day. I gave Zhang Guoqing a blank look, is it fun to tease him?

Zhang Guoqing quickly persuaded him to start buying a house. Keep money at home and don't make small money. If you buy it earlier, you can still have a rent, buy a house, transfer your household registration, and have rations. No matter how you count, you are making money.

Zhang Laoer and Lin Juhua were very moved when they heard it. After discussing it, they decided to buy it. They didn't plan to rent it to others, but they had a lot of basic rations.

Seeing that it was almost time for work, Zhang Guoqing asked Lin Juhua to stay and wait for Zhang's father and mother to come back, and then went to the neighborhood committee to ask Aunt Wang for news. The two brothers had to rush to work.

After an hour or so, as soon as Zhang and Dad came home, Lin Juhua told Zhang Guoqing's suggestion and asked them to take her to find Aunt Wang.

Mother Zhang told her not to worry, and took her back to the living room. After everyone was seated, Mother Zhang mentioned the news she had inquired from Aunt Wang next door.

One of her colleagues has a yard to sell, just five minutes walk behind the supply and marketing cooperative, five old houses with earthen embryos. The asking price is five hundred yuan, and there is still room for negotiation.

Lin Juhua immediately looked at Father Zhang upon hearing this. She didn't know if it was good or not, so she could only let her father-in-law decide.

Father Zhang thought about it for a while, and asked his wife to take the two daughters-in-law to the neighborhood committee to find out if there was any house nearby. He still likes that this neighborhood is clean and the neighbors are kind and easy to get along with. The ground on the opposite side of the road is low, and I heard that in summer, the rainstorm often does not allow the water to recede. He passed by there last year and saw people making trouble and fighting.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the neighborhood committee. As soon as they arrived at the door, Aunt Wang pulled them into the room with a smile.

There are people in the office in twos and threes, all from nearby families, and they are very familiar with each other. Everyone exchanged pleasantries and made some jokes.

Zhou Jiao started talking about serious business and asked everyone to help find a house. She didn't mention any conditions, she just smiled and said that she had to be in the management community of the aunts and sisters, and she was worried about other places.

After listening to her flattery, everyone began to talk happily. One sentence at a time, even those who are not registered and may be sold are reported.

Zhou Jiao was sweating from the sidelines. It seems that most of the families around here have no secrets to hide from this group of women. She clicked her tongue secretly, unexpectedly even knew how much some couples secretly subsidized their natal mother-in-law's family, let alone the man who was dishonest and raised a little girl secretly.

Mother Zhang and Lin Juhua were fascinated by what they heard, and they forgot to buy a house long ago. I heard the big news today, that one can calculate the family fortune from the number of toilets at the door in the early morning. They really didn't notice these details in the countryside. Lin Juhua couldn't help but wonder what if someone went to the public toilet?

Zhang's mother heard them talking about whose daughter-in-law went to the bathhouse several times a month and how much it cost, guessing whether it was enough to wipe out her salary. She quickly looked at Zhou Jiao, and the two of them looked at each other and dared not laugh out loud. This time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very guilty. They went to the bathhouse every three days, and each time they paid 20 cents for each person. They were more prodigal than others.

An hour later, Aunt Wang took the list in her hand and reported it to everyone. Is it just these few? She repeatedly marveled at how many families were selling their houses in February after the Chinese New Year.

After finishing speaking, she called Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to follow her to see the house. According to her idea, go to every house to see, anyway, it's nothing to go shopping.

I looked at five companies in a row and asked the lowest price. Zhang's mother and Lin Juhua discussed and selected two and asked Aunt Wang to help find out the bottom price, and made an appointment to bring her son over after get off work to confirm the implementation.

After getting off work, Zhang Laoer heard the news, so he chose the yard closest to Zhang Guoqing's house without saying a word.

The explanation he gave was that the family was developed and transferred to other counties. Buying that Feng Shui is good, and it will be convenient for the parents to go back and forth between the two sons' homes in the county. The sons and daughters of the other family were not filial, so he responded very well.

His words made Father Zhang very happy, and urged him to pay the money quickly.

The whole family ran to see the house except Zhou Jiao, who waited for Zhang Guoqing to get off work. When we came back an hour later, everyone smiled and said that they wanted to celebrate.

The area is about the same as Zhang Guoqing's yard, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk to his house and take a shortcut. The final price is 600 yuan, which is really not expensive.

Zhang Guoqing had already prepared the food and wine, and did not let Zhang Erer go to the restaurant. The six hundred yuan was spent, and his second brother probably didn't have much money, so it was worth it just because his parents were happy for this meeting.
