There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the evening, following the propaganda offensive by Aunt Wang and her group, every household began to send their daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to street canteens.

Zhou Jiao didn't know if everyone was doing their best to contribute all the supplies of the family without any selfishness. But it was impossible for her and the few people she knew well to do that.

Everyone's joyful voice was very loud and long at night. Yes, you really should be happy. In this day and age, you can eat as much as you want, why not happy?

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Guoqing's door was knocked countless times. The couple looked at a group of excited relatives, friends and neighbors with smiles on their faces. They could only open the door and listen to their thoughts.

Before it was time for dinner, there were knocks on the door, shouts, and cheers from the children in the streets and alleys. One after another, people began to gang up and go to the cafeteria.

The women are happy to get rid of housework, and the men are happy to finally not have to queue in the cold winter and hot summer. Along the way, everyone laughed and laughed, and from time to time a gossip spread about the dishes of the three meals, which caused everyone to exclaim.

Zhou Jiao wants to capture this moment in a photo and remember it forever. She looked at the smiling face of the son in Zhang Guoqing's arms, and in an instant, she had an epiphany - you must know that you must enjoy yourself in time, and you will be drunk today when you have wine.

Thinking about it and feeling better, she looked at Zhang Guoqing playfully. This man is a wonder! Don't go to the unit and come over to squeeze some canteen with her.

When the group arrived at the cafeteria, there was already a long line in the hall, and there were many people sitting on the tables. Self-reliance, everyone went up and lined up with tableware.

Being in it, listening to everyone's laughter and smelling the aroma of food reminded Zhou Jiao of the cafeteria in college. As the people who received breakfast passed by, she looked at their bowls. She didn't know how the cooking skills were, and she began to miss the fat master who went south.

Alas... the fat master left just like that. Leave a piece of paper to Zhang Guoqing, and just leave without saying goodbye. It's okay to go, and it's okay to go when it's time to go.

Seeing a large row of various breakfasts in front of her, Zhou Jiao recalled her thoughts.

Steamed buns, steamed buns, deep-fried dough sticks... I'm really willing to pay the price.

Lin Juhua gestured towards her, she smiled - it is really easy to handle someone in court.

After being seated, Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing as she watched the various breakfasts on the table, Zhang's father, Zhang's mother, Zhang's second child, and Zhang Meili's two sisters.

Zhang's mother looked at everything in the cafeteria happily, Is it lively? Your second sister-in-law said that there is still a lot of fat at noon. It's better to pass the day.

Her words caused the left and right tables to start talking.

Zhang Guoqing finished eating quickly, took his son, and said in a low voice: Eat quickly, there is not enough to get it.

Zhang's mother sat on the side and listened, not caring about chatting with her in-laws. She followed closely behind and whispered, Don't drink the porridge, eat the buns first, and put the fried dough sticks in the porridge.

Zhou Jiao nodded again and again, Mom, hurry up and eat too. She has a small appetite and can't help it, so she can't force it. Her mother-in-law wants to eat more. It would be a pity if it is quantified in a few days.

Zhang Guoqing had already noticed that their family was being polite. The steward said that you can eat as much as you take, and it is shameful to waste it. Before the detailed rules were issued on the first day, he found that many people were already wasting. If God does not punish you, who will you punish?

He stood up with his son in his arms, and walked to the front of the queue. After a while, he brought back ten meat buns and ten deep-fried dough sticks with Mother Zhang. These father alone are not enough to fit between teeth. What are you being rude about?

Father, you and mother will continue to eat. Aunt Chen and Uncle, is it enough? I'll get it for you.

Zhang Meili's mother-in-law quickly waved her hand, No need. I'm enough. Let's talk about it after your uncle eats.

Zhang Guoqing did not insist upon seeing this. Anyway, the things are there, just go and get them if you want to eat.

Ten steamed buns and ten deep-fried dough sticks were quickly wiped out by Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. After eating, he looked at the old son's family who had been waiting, and then at his daughter, son-in-law and in-laws who were still eating hard.

There are too many people here, and it is inconvenient to talk. He thinks he should go back and talk to the old son's family. Their family is at a disadvantage from eating like this, and they have to find a way.

Over there, Zhang's mother saw that the eldest son-in-law was absent-minded, and said, Your parents must be full. You and Meili have dinner in the afternoon and go to the village to see them, and come back and tell us about it.

Zhang Chunming swallowed hard and said, Mother, I went back last night. I heard that pancakes and steamed buns in the village are still ordinary...

Zhang Guoqing coughed a few times before he finished speaking, interrupted what he was about to say, and winked at him. Seeing him in a daze, I felt a headache.

The old captain is such a shrewd person, why doesn't he know how to stay behind in everything? This time the village has been expropriated so much food, the old man can't wait for everyone to eat porridge every day. If his brother-in-law's words were to be spread, the serious point was that the old captain did not support the decision made by the superiors, and the light point was that everyone knew that Zhangjiacun had surplus food, so they would settle accounts after the fall.

Brother-in-law goes back to spend more time with his uncle when he has time. It doesn't matter what he eats, he and the aunt still want you to chat with him, and you can ask the uncle if you have anything to do.

Well, Xiao Wu, don't worry.

Old Chen looked at his son after listening to it, and found that he had also realized it, and he felt very comforted. He didn't even think of that just now. He decided to let his son have frequent contact with Xiaowu in the future.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed, and those who should go to work went to work. Zhang's father and Zhang mother were worried about their eldest son, so they took Shitou and Maisui to Zhang Guofu's house slowly.

When Zhang Guoqing came back from get off work at noon, the family could smell the strong smell of meat while standing outside the yard before they even got to the cafeteria.

Zhang Guoqing smelled it, Is it fragrant? Parents and the others came so early, are they starving?

Meat

Zhang Guoqing hissed, smiled and patted his son's little head, Ping'an is so smart. Can you tell Dad what you want to eat?

Seeing her son nodding and giving him a thumbs up, Zhou Jiao was also happy to see him giggling happily. The child can really understand the words.

As soon as they entered, Zhang's mother immediately waved to them in the queue.

As a large plate and a large bucket of vegetables were brought out, the crowd cheered. It is indeed different to get the news in advance and see it with your own eyes. The taste and smell are stimulated by the braised pork, making people even hungrier.

The sister-in-law in charge of dividing the meat shouted loudly: Stop shouting. Everyone has a piece of fat meat.

As soon as her words fell, they were followed by slogans.

The white rice, braised pork, fried three delicacies, etc. at noon made everyone laugh and echo loudly, almost causing the cafeteria to lift the roof.

Stimulated by everyone's three or five bowls of rice, Zhou Jiao ate two bowls full of rice in her life, which made her dare not get up from the stool.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing suppressed his smile, holding back until his intestines were knotted. He realized that his daughter-in-law was so stupid that she really listened to his parents' instigation.

After three consecutive days of sumptuous meals, there was laughter from every household, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became harmonious, there were fewer quarrels between husband and wife, and children were less scolded.

The staff of the street office were worried. They looked at the inventory, calculated repeatedly according to the table, and quickly formulated the detailed rules. What followed was the time limit for distinguishing between types of work, old and young.

After the announcement, everyone understood and supported it very much. As long as you can eat enough, it is fine if there is meat in the dish, even shredded meat is meat. In such a day, even gold can't be exchanged, so there is nothing to be satisfied with.
