There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Following Zhou Xiaozheng's more and more frequent letters, finally ushered in the autumn of the new year.

The blue sky, red maple trees, larch and birch forests are picturesque everywhere.

Zhou Jiao likes autumn.

Autumn is a harvest season. In particular, the wild fruits all over the mountains and plains are full of surprises.

Zhang Guoqing stood beside her with his son on his shoulders.

My son is calling your mother home.

Mother…

Zhou Jiao smiled brightly at the father and son, Let's go.

The scenery of autumn is suitable for slowly appreciating and understanding.

For Zhou Jiao's words, Zhang Guoqing, who loves his wife into a demon, gave up his bicycle and walked with her slowly from the county town to his hometown.

Zhang Guoqing didn't appreciate the beauty of the autumn scenery. In his eyes, the most beautiful scene is his wife smiling brightly and his son giggling.

Before reaching the door of the house, Aunt Wang next door saw their family and stepped forward quickly.

Jiaojiao, you guys are back? I have good news for you. I heard that in the future, we won't have to line up to get food, and we won't have to cook every day. We'll just go to the street cafeteria to eat.

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Guoqing in surprise, and said with a smile: Auntie, is this news accurate? Where is the canteen on the street?

Aunt Wang glanced around and said in a low voice, It's absolutely true. Today, Mrs. Wang's daughter-in-law also said that she was looking for a place to rebuild the cafeteria, and said that we are not allowed to open fire in the future. Remember to hide the bacon at home.

Zhou Jiao thanked the enthusiastic Aunt Wang, watched her enter the yard, and the husband and wife met each other.

Today, I just heard from the old captain that the small commune in the township will be changed into a large one, and their Zhangjia Village has become the third squadron. Unexpectedly, the county seat has already started to act.

Back in the living room, Zhou Jiaoxi thought that there was nothing wrong with her house, but Zhang's second son had to move early. Lin Juhua and her two children are no longer suitable in the village. Go back to the county early, and with Lin Juhua's cooking skills, she still has the opportunity to help in the cafeteria.

Zhang Guoqing also took this into consideration. At this moment, he thought of Zhang Erer, who was on duty, and had to ring the bell. As for parents and elders, it depends on what his parents mean.

When he came to the bureau, Zhang Guoqing chatted with several people on duty, and went out with Zhang Laoer and his two brothers, looking for a remote place.

He will explain in detail what he heard and what he thinks.

Since I can't get the rations anymore, and I can't take advantage of the village, what's the point? I'll move right away.

After hearing this, Zhang Laoer immediately decided to ask for a day off tomorrow and act immediately.

That's fine, move here sooner. I'll talk to Aunt Wang and the others about whether it is possible for the second sister-in-law to help out in the cafeteria. Brother, you can discuss it with your parents.

Since the rations are not distributed, will the elder brother be transferred to work?

No. Food will also be sent to various street canteens and canteens of enterprises and institutions.

This time our three brothers all moved to the county seat. It's true that our parents said we should leave the three courtyards behind.

Zhang Guoqing laughed loudly when he heard the words, Father and mother should be happy, almost even their two elders were abandoned by our three brothers. What is the yard?

The second brother Zhang looked at him suspiciously, and asked, Xiao Wu, tell the second brother the truth, did you hear the rumors a long time ago, so you asked me to move my parents' household registration to the county seat?

Knowing that he was suspicious of the old man, Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said with a smile: Where did the news come so early? I just thought that my father was so tired that his skin peeled off during the spring plowing. You see, my parents have moved their household registration. They want to do it this time during the busy farming season Just do it, and no one will make irresponsible remarks if you don’t do it, how good it is!”

Dad and mother should stay at my house this time, right? Do you remember that their household registration is in my book.

Let's three brothers stay with our parents, okay? The eldest brother is far away, and our two families are only a few steps away. Don't worry about it too much. Anyway, we will all be in the same cafeteria from now on.

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Zhang Guoqing saw that he was about to get off work, so he didn't delay his business.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Lao Er, he then visited Li Aiguo and Zhao Dashan.

Before going to sleep, Zhang Guoqing hugged Zhou Jiao and whispered the news he had heard.

The establishment ceremony of the big community will be held on Wednesday the day after tomorrow. Street canteens will be remodeled in various street areas in the county on Friday, and meals will be opened on Saturday. These two things must be implemented simultaneously in all towns and towns in the county.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Guoqing sighed, Our unit will be in place tomorrow, responsible for supervising the autumn food collection activities of the militias in various places, and maintaining law and order with Uncle Zuo and the others.

Zhou Jiao touched his face, Is there any more? Is there anything happy?

Yes. These activities are finished, let's smelt iron immediately.

Zhou Jiao gave him a blank look when she heard the words. This is not nonsense.

Zhang Guoqing patted her, You will go to work starting tomorrow. Uncle Li said that your task is very heavy, and you have to cooperate with those young people to do a good job of publicity. Is your son able to bear it with you?

The child is very good, and I'm used to it. There's nothing too much to bear. If your godfather calls you tomorrow, remember to tell them not to come over.

Zhang Guoqing nodded. Not surprisingly, the couple hurried over to see the situation again.

You have to go to work tomorrow, and I have to go out. Parents, if you see me, remember to explain to them. Let me and Aunt Wang tell about the second sister-in-law. I guess I will go to the street to write big characters in these two days.

Zhang Guoqing patted her, Just let nature take its course. Go to bed early.

One night passed, and the next day began. During the day, the husband and wife entered a busy working state. When I come back at night, I occasionally go to Zhang Laoer's house to visit Zhang's father and mother.

Zhou Jiao declined her mother-in-law's proposal to take care of her son. With her children by her side, she could avoid wandering the streets with everyone.

It wasn't until Thursday, when she followed Aunt Wang to the street office, that she saw the rumored street canteen.

The four rooms are connected, and there is a kitchen with several stoves. Now there are several elderly people writing large characters on red paper on the two tables in the house, and there are still many people doing woodwork in the yard.

Zhou Jiao greeted several elders and was assigned by them to make a pictorial outside the wall.

The young and strong Zhou Jiao, as the old men said, stood outside this large courtyard from nowhere, with a smile on his face, but a river of sadness in his heart.

Sighing secretly, Zhou Jiao pulled the cart from Aunt Wang's hand, put her son away, and started working with a smile. In order to catch up with the progress and look good, she was too tired to rest for two days, and finally finished the project in the afternoon of the next day.

Jiaojiao's hands are really clever. Do you see if the children who came to the door look real? With such a painting, the yard is really grand.

Ingenious layout, reasonable arrangement...

That's right, we really have to cherish food and not waste it. This painting can be submitted.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly stopped when she heard the words. She doesn't want to be in the limelight any more, and having an extra skill is exhausting. She was about to cry when the provincial newspaper asked for another draft.

After speaking, Zhou Jiao no longer wanted to go in for a visit, so she hurriedly bid farewell to the old ladies and fathers, and went home with her son in her arms. Tonight she felt that she should mend well, otherwise she would not be able to lift her arm tomorrow.
