There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

That night, Zhang Guoqing was still vigilant. His son woke up around two in the morning and there was movement. Before he could cry, Zhang Guoqing was already rolling like a carp. Quickly put it in Ping An's mouth.

Baby Ping'an is so good, let your mother sleep. When you are finished eating, Dad will accompany you to sleep. My family will grow fast after eating well. When you grow up, Dad will take you to play. In spring, Dad, you will go outing. , picking wild vegetables; in summer, I will take you swimming and fishing; in autumn, my father will take you to pick wild fruits in the mountains; in winter, my father will take you to build snowmen and play on ice carts. Good baby, grow up quickly, good baby sleep Sleep.

After a while, he really fell asleep. Zhang Guoqing really felt that his little Ping'an could hear his words. If grandpa saw it in heaven, he would be happy. He should have no regrets before he died. Fortunately, he left before their family left that world. Otherwise, the white-haired people would be heartbroken to send away the black-haired people one after another.

He hugged him carefully, wrapping his arms around him to protect him. After reading too much news, the child can't lie in the middle, and I have to find a way when winter comes.

Waking up on time again in the early morning is a natural reaction of the body. At this time, his father has already gone to the backyard to see if the pigs are starving, to see if the chickens are well protected, and if there are any yellow skins. I'm checking to see if the walls around the backyard have been cared for by thieves. Then these sons followed him to see the private plots. Those who had cleaned up were cleaned up before going to work. Those who had no place to clean up were usually looking through the land. There would be a good harvest in the coming year, or they would go to the backyard of the house to clean up. In the vegetable garden, there is also a lot of work at home. In addition to farm work, there are also twisting hemp rope, weaving straw sandals, weaving baskets, and collecting firewood. They have to be busy before going to work.

In the countryside, the men of the Zhang family are undoubtedly hardworking, and they also love their mother-in-law. Unlike ordinary rural families nowadays, women nowadays are all in charge of childbirth, housework, and farm work. They started cooking, feeding pigs and chickens, washing clothes, carrying water, tidying up vegetable gardens and private plots before going to work, and the men lay on the kang and slept until they called for food, then got up and ate before going to work, and waited for the afternoon After work, I cook, cook, wash clothes, tidy up the yard, and are busy serving the pigs, chickens and ducks at home. Because of this, all the women in the village, big and small, envied the women of the Zhang family.

In the past few days, according to the seasons of previous years, the sweet potatoes in the backyard should be quickly harvested, and then the white radish and Chinese cabbage were all received in the cellar. The Chinese cabbage and white radish in the private plot had been squeezed into a vat earlier. Pickled cabbage and pickled radishes. In addition to the jars of sauerkraut and pickled radishes, the utility room is also full of dried beans, dried vegetables, etc., which are prepared for the winter without food, as well as food for the family in the coming year. The cucumbers in a corner of the yard are being carefully served. This is the last bunch of cucumbers this year. It is time to receive the cellar before the frost. In the Northeast, every family prepares cucumbers and green onions, and they are indispensable all year round.

After Zhang Guoqing ran to the well to wash his face and brush his teeth, he changed into a patched coat and trousers, and went to the backyard to meet his father and brother. Everyone took hoes and threw out the sweet potatoes from about 80% of the field in the backyard. I worked hard together, and finally packed half of it before breakfast, then went to work, and after work in the afternoon, I still found time to clean up.

Today, red dates and white rice porridge and sweet potato cakes are rare on the dinner table. The whole family sits together, drinking white rice porridge, feeling like Chinese New Year. While eating, the wheat seedlings lamented how nice it would be to have white rice porridge every day.

Zhang Guoqing was heartbroken when he heard this, and then he looked at the wheat ears, afraid that the bowl would not be clean, so he licked and licked, he took a few sips from the bowl, and then directly divided them into the bowls of wheat seedlings and wheat ears, the two little guys were happy Oh, just say thank you uncle, Zhang mother saw that he was going to serve him after eating, but he refused. I guess her mother still counted the rice grains to make porridge, so he ate less. His parents and two brothers still have food. The sister-in-law and the children can eat more. It's not that he didn't think about reminding his mother to cook more, but he forgot it later. His mother has been in charge of the house for so many years, and his mother has planned it. This is her authority, and she exercises the head of the house Human rights, why should he have to make his mother unhappy. Besides, if he eats less, he can ask Jiaojiao for food.

Before leaving, the second couple went out in a hurry, and when Father Zhang and the eldest couple finished eating, there was no one there, so they were really not afraid of causing trouble.

Everyone laughed dumbfounded. Zhang Guoqing took the two little guys back to the West Wing. Zhou Jiao had already had breakfast and just nursed her son. She was very happy to see the two little guys. It’s boring to be alone in the room. It’s good to play with the children .

Zhang Guoqing took the diaper and put it in the footbath, and took it out. Seeing that her mother was not in the front yard, she hurriedly washed it first, fearing that the soap would be irritating, and the plant ash would make it tingly, so she found the saponin and washed it several times carefully. , Make sure it’s clean and hang it in the yard to see if there’s nothing wrong, then run to Jiaojiao’s side and lean against the pit to rest for a while, it’s too early in the morning, I’m a little tired after doing some work.

Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while, and you must wake me up tonight. I didn't hear Ping An's cry last night, and I slept until dawn. Zhou Jiao looked at his dark circles distressedly, and her face was full of tears. tired.

Zhang Guoqing couldn't let her misunderstand, he was worried about her confinement, so he took care of his son, because he was afraid that he would wake up his wife if he cried, and would not be able to sleep peacefully.

I didn't call you on purpose, and let you sleep better. As soon as Ping An cried out, I picked him up and nursed him. Before he woke up, you slept for a while. You won't wake up until 10 o'clock. I don't have time in the afternoon. Take a rest. After he finished speaking, he thought about it and laughed out loud.

Do you guys want to eat anything? Brother, I want to buy some comic books when I have time, otherwise it's really boring. Zhou Jiao said depressedly.

Mai Miao thought about it and still didn't want to eat it, but her mother had ordered that the food from my aunt should be given to my younger brother.

No need, I just ate rice porridge today, and I still haven't finished eating the sugar my aunt gave me.

Zhang Guoqing gave them a thumbs up, and boasted: It's so good. Later, my uncle will go to the city to buy some snacks and put them at home, so that grandma can eat them for you later.

Zhang Guoqing thinks it's okay, Jiaojiao, I'll go to the backyard to collect the sweet potatoes. I'm not busy now when I'm not working. Mai Miao, you guys play here with my aunt. If you have something to do, call your uncle. Uncle is in the backyard.

After finishing speaking, he left the two little girls to accompany Zhou Jiao. He went to the backyard, found a hoe, and plowed the ground and dug sweet potatoes by himself. The two matched each other, one shoveled out a piece of sweet potato with a hoe, the other lowered his waist and put the sweet potato in the bamboo basket, chatting a few words from time to time, and after a while, all the rest of the field was cleaned up.
