There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The night before leaving, Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao to Shikumen in private, and once again asked a couple of old people to follow him. After being rejected by the other party, you can only return with regret.

When starting out, the soldiers were divided into two groups. After seeing off Zhao Chuanguang and his wife, who had gone directly to the northeast, the group embarked on the return journey.

When I got home, I learned that Mr. Lin had returned from a business trip. What should be faced still needs to be solved. Zhou Jiao went to the gate of Lin's house with a gift that night.

Are you back? Why are you just the two of you? Didn't you bring the kids? Mr. Lin happily sat them down and asked several questions.

Zhou Jiao noticed that Mrs. Lin and the others were not there, so she paused. Seeing that Zhang Guoqing had already chatted with the old man, she didn't ask.

Your grandma had a little problem a few days ago, and she is still in the nursing home. How about you going to Jiangnan this time?

Zhang Guoqing didn't mention the visit, and changed the subject: That's it. Grandpa, how is your trip to Province G this time? Is the weather very hot over there now? I heard that there are many kinds of fruits there.

Mr. Lin shook his head upon hearing this.

Zhang Guoqing pretended not to see him shaking his head, and picked up the teacup with a smile.

I brought some fruits back this time, and you guys will take them back to taste later. How long are you staying this time? Has Jiaojiao seen your cousin?

Zhou Jiao smiled and said: I was taken away by my dad as soon as I came here, and I just came back today. I haven't seen any of them yet, why didn't I see them come back?

The courtyard called to say what new movie is going to be shown tonight. They will be there early in the morning. Come back later, or you can go there and look for it.

Zhou Jiao secretly thought: She is so bored that she will go to find someone in person. But it's a good excuse to leave. She glanced at Zhang Guoqing a few times.

Grandpa, then I'll take Jiaojiao first. Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing stood up and said goodbye.

Watching Zhang Guoqing and his wife leave, Mr. Lin hesitated for a while. When he came to the intersection, he found that Cheng's house was not lit, but Zhou's house was brightly lit. He shook his head.

He went back to the living room and told his aunt to follow him to his son-in-law's house with a fruit basket.

Here Zhang Guoqing and the others don't know that Mr. Lin is coming back. Fortunately, although they didn't bother to pay attention to the three sisters of the Lin family, they didn't go home, or they would really be in trouble.

After leaving the gate of the compound, the couple strolled around along the street. Where there are many people, they will stand by and listen to the gossip of the old men.

The gossip told by these old people can't attract people, but when they are ridiculed, it really makes people laugh out loud. Can be poor, can talk! A whole bunch of Kanye!

After listening to the fun, I laughed with everyone.

The two continued to walk in the alley. There are big trees and bright lights, and old people and children often gather around to talk about the parents of the east and the shortcomings of the west, and discuss where there are bargains, and live without saying a word.

After listening to the stories at home and abroad, and drinking the big bowl of tea poured by the enthusiastic aunt, I thank everyone.

The two walked through the alley, came to the street, bought some children's toys, and went home happily.

When he came back, standing outside the courtyard, Zhang Guoqing heard the conversation inside, and smiled at Zhou Jiao Bibi.

Zhou Jiao smiled helplessly. Entering inside, greeted Mr. Lin and the others, and left Zhang Guoqing behind. She took the child from Aunt Chen and slipped back to the room.

After feeding the child and washing up, Zhou Jiao played with the child with toys. Listening to the child's happy laughter at this moment, she forgot about the Lin family.

When Lin Lishan came in, she saw her daughter and grandson laying on the bed and stacking blocks—the colorful wooden blocks on Zhang Guoqing's picture were erected high under Zhou Jiao's accumulation. At this moment, Zhou Jiao was holding the child's hands and trying to stack wooden ducks on top of them.

She cheerfully waited for the collapse on the side...

As Ping An anxiously grabbed the wooden block and screamed, the unscrupulous mother and daughter burst out laughing.

Lin Lishan took the wooden blocks and stacked them quickly, comforting the little guy, Okay, it will be ready soon. This time we won't let it fall down, shall we?

Pingan vaguely said yes, stretched out his little hand to grab, and was patted by Zhou Jiao, and immediately opened his eyes to look at Zhou Jiao, seeing her smiling, he quickly crawled into her arms.

Little man. Zhou Jiao cursed with a smile, rubbing the child's head.

She looked at Lin Lishan and asked in confusion, Mom, why didn't you come with grandpa?

I'm not interested in what they're talking about. I'm going to work again tomorrow, and I don't have time to take you to the street. Where are you going? I'll see if I can sneak out.

Zhou Jiao laughed when she heard the words, Mom, do you want to go shopping by yourself and make excuses on purpose?

What nonsense are you talking about? After speaking, Lin Lishan laughed loudly.

After joking, Zhou Jiao asked about Lin Xuelin.

Lin Lishan frowned slightly, and shook her head, Something happened to the man, and Xiao Lin decided to postpone it until May Day. There was no movement on this May Day. I don't know what it means. I just got back and haven't heard anything. Your aunt will come over tomorrow Only then can we know when the specific wedding date will be.

Zhou Jiao asked softly: Then grandma is going to the nursing home to avoid the limelight?

Hearing this, Lin Lishan nodded with a smile. She didn't say it was only part of the reason. The most important thing is the discord between the two. With her man in a high position, the old lady couldn't see that the Zhou family was better than the Lin family, and hated the Jiaojiao father and daughter deeply.

But how can she say these words? Now the old lady faces her alone, and while asking her to help transfer her second brother back, she says all sorts of nasty things.

She also has a temper, okay? That was her man and her biological daughter. That being the case, it is better to have less contact. Anyway, I will move in two years, and I will go to Xishan, so the two families will be far away.

Lin Lishan is not a person who is good at hiding her thoughts, as her expression changes. How could Zhou Jiao not see it? But Gu Ruyi's stubble is a thorn, she can only pretend that she doesn't know.

Jiaojiao, did your father transfer Wang Dawei back? Lin Lishan couldn't help asking after all. She didn't believe her mother's words, but after seeing her at the birthday wine last time, she had some doubts.

Zhou Jiao sighed deeply. If you don't need skills to provoke, you may say too much. This dark-minded old woman really has no tricks to use. There were some things that Zhou Jiao didn't intend to say, no matter how much she said, it would be better to act.

Grandma told you? Do you think my dad will have such great power? Is it possible for grandpa to transfer my second uncle back? Uncle Wang's time in the Northwest, his credit, and his personal ability are not comparable to his second uncle. If it is decided by voting, then my dad may really vote for him. It would be a joke to think that my dad contributed to transfer him back to Beijing. Don’t forget how long my dad has been back? How many leaders does my dad have?

Mom, do you think Uncle Wang has a particularly good relationship with my dad and godfather?

Lin Lishan felt reasonable after hearing Zhou Jiao's words. How could it be so easy to mobilize a person to go home? If it was so casual, her father would have transferred his son back long ago.

Yeah. What you said makes sense. I also think it's impossible. Your father can't take care of himself, so he doesn't have the time and relationship to help Wang Dawei. Your grandma just likes to be suspicious. But, Jiaojiao, your father treats them like It is indeed better than the relationship with your two uncles.

Her mother is a living treasure. Zhou Jiao suppressed a smile and said, You still don't understand my dad's temperament? Why do you treat them? Uncle Guang doesn't need me to tell you? There are many things that my dad and I don't want to tell you, for fear that you will feel sad and lose face. That day Several uncles have sent me things in the past seventeen years, and all of them have been sent to the Lin family.

Lin Lishan stared at Zhou Jiao with wide eyes, Could you have made a mistake? Are you sure they were sent to you? Did they say it themselves?

Zhou Jiao lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth ironically.

What's so strange, what's so unbelievable. Mother! Mother? Hehe... Except for Zhou Xiaozheng, the biological father, which relative by blood in the two lifetimes has not treated her like a shoe?

She Zhou Jiao treats her mother with sincerity. It's a pity that the mother in front of me still doesn't trust her when it comes to the Lin family who cares about her heart, and even the credibility of their father and daughter makes the other party doubt. This is fate, she can't force it!

Zhou Jiao didn't want to say more, and she didn't bother to say it, but she didn't want to hide the truth. I was worried about embarrassing Lin Lishan before, but so what? If you dare to do it, you must dare to lose face!

The package that Uncle Wang gave me every year is handed over to your second brother, and your second brother and sister-in-law happily agreed to hand it over! Uncle Wang has never mentioned it in front of us, let alone revealed the actual amount, but my dad found it through a friend. ——Your second brother and second sister-in-law swallowed most of them, and a few were sent to me in their own names;

Godfather mistook Lin Xuelin for seventeen years, and you already know that. But I came to Beijing twice, who explained it to me? Did your sister-in-law ask Lin Xuelin to apologize to me? Don't you know that your elder brother has been back for so long?

The remaining uncles and uncles followed closely behind the godfather, sending packages for seventeen years. I stayed in Beijing last year, long enough, right? No one in your natal family mentioned it?

Now do you know why my dad treats his godfather politely? Too much owed.

After a while, Lin Lishan asked, Jiaojiao, tell Mom the truth. After you know this, do you hate us?

Zhou Jiao immediately looked at her when she heard the words, When you say us, do you mean you?

Seeing her daughter's eyes, Lin Lishan's heart suddenly moved, and she quickly shook her hand and said, No! Mom knows that you protect Mom, so you never blamed Mom. I want to know, do you hate your grandma and the others?

Hate? Mom, do you know what hate is? I never hated others! What do you hate the old lady? Hate her for planning to swallow up the property my father left me? Or hate her for wanting my father and daughter to die? What's the use of hate?

Jiaojiao, you can't think like this? You are your grandma's granddaughter, why would she want your father and daughter to die? Don't say something nonsense. Your father should not be angry when he hears it. Lin Lishan quickly persuaded.

Zhou Jiao closed her eyes heavily. He could hear Lin Lishan still talking about how good Mrs. Lin was. She thought of her grandparents who had been killed in an accident, and thought of the great-grandfather who was killed in the Gu family's ancestral grave. Bursts of anger from the bottom of my heart rushed straight to the top of my head, and I tried my best to suppress it.

I heard Lin Lishan say again that Gu Ruyi gave birth to her, she gave birth to Zhou Jiao, and they are the closest relatives in the world.

Zhou Jiao opened her red eyes, hoarse voice, and shouted: Don't whisper Gu Ruyi in my ear. What do you know? Gu Ruyi's family drugged my great-grandfather of the Gu family to death, and colluded with bandits to force my grandparents away , let my grandparents die young, let my father almost die. I owe a few lives, can you count it?...

There was a sound from outside, the sound of plopping to the ground, mixed with Cheng Lao's exclamation, which interrupted Zhou Jiao's unfinished words and woke Zhou Jiao up.
