There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

As the sun set, the four brothers and sisters of Xizi set foot on the afterglow of summer and followed Father Zhang and the others back to the county town. After they separated from them at the intersection, the four brothers and sisters hurried home with cloth bags and bamboo baskets full of joy.

Before you get home, the smell of steamed buns and stews floats in the air together, giving you the urge to find someone’s place to eat.

As soon as they entered the yard, they smelled the unique aroma of Erhe noodles steamed buns and stewed vegetables. The four brothers and sisters looked at each other in surprise. They didn't bother to wash it, and carefully walked around the vegetable garden with cloth bags and bamboo baskets. to the kitchen.

Huang Cuilan didn't cook anything for lunch, so she mixed in the water with the two steamed buns left over from the morning. At this moment, every household started cooking, and she remembered that the children were coming back soon.

Mom, brother caught two fish today and gave one to grandpa. Do you want to eat this tonight?

Huang Cuilan looked at the greedy eyes of the children, and nodded with a smile: Okay. Let you eat your fill today. Later, Xizi will bring you a bowl of milk.

Xizi's eyes lit up, and she said happily: Okay. My grandma must be reluctant to eat that fish at night. She asked me to bring it back, but I didn't want it. She also said to rub it with salt and save it for us to eat tomorrow.

Xiao Zuo: Mom, we didn't eat there. My grandparents were reluctant to eat fine grains. My uncle would be very distressed if he knew. If you didn't see the bacon, it would be moldy. She still kept it and said she would wait for us to eat it. Go and eat.

Xiao You frowned and said, It seems that we still have to write to my uncle. What are you trying to do by breastfeeding her? Let us help you hide it. Brother, didn't you say that my uncle will come back for summer vacation? School will start soon Why haven't they come back yet?

Xizi smiled: Didn't Ping An ask Grandpa to wait for him to come back? It should be soon. Grandma's birthday will be in ten days, and uncle should come back soon.

Mai Miao joked: Second and third brothers, you are about to start practicing calligraphy. My grandfather said, I will ask you to write a letter to Xiaopingan later, and let him see how promising his brothers are!

Smelly girl, you still dare to laugh at your brother, see the trick!

Mai Miao hurriedly hid behind Xizi, sticking out her tongue at the two brothers and making faces, which made Xiao Zuo and Zuo laugh uncontrollably. The three of them are just such a younger sister, and it's too late to hurt, so they won't be serious.

Xizi patted her forehead, Bad girl!

After finishing speaking, looking at the smiling Huang Cuilan, he hesitated for a moment and asked, Mom, I heard that your factory needs a compendium. Are you okay?

Huang Cuilan looked at her eldest son, and thought that there were people who were interested in her son, so she wanted to laugh. This will listen to his concerned tone, and she will be overjoyed, her son will really grow up, Mom is fine.

That's good. It's good if you don't work. You can still take care of my dad and us at home. Our four brothers and sisters caught cicada monkeys during the summer vacation and went to the buying station to exchange a lot of money. There are tuition fees for school. You Don't worry. When my aunt comes back, I will ask her to teach me about herbs, and that can also make money.

It's all mother's useless, making you suffer.

We don't know how much better we are than others. Mom, we don't ask you to be more capable, so you can stay at home with peace of mind. If you have something to be filial to my grandparents, we all agree. You should still Get in touch with them less, they are too active, you are no match for them.

Mai Miao nodded immediately, Yes! As long as you don't talk to my aunt and the others, we will be very happy. My aunt is not good, her eyelids are too shallow, and she pretends to be smart, always scraping things and taking them to her house. I Grandma still thinks she is a good person, if not for my grandpa, she would be a messed up girl.

After hearing this, Xiao Zuo laughed straight away. Their little sister is becoming more and more like an aunt! What a hit!

Huang Cuilan gave her a white look, That's your elder, don't say anything about it no matter what you think in your heart. Be careful not to marry if someone hears about it.

Xiao Zuo Zuo sneered, and Xi Zi snorted, Will no one want my sister? That's just right, our three brothers are raising her. I don't want her to go to someone else's house to work to death.

Mai Miao smiled proudly: See? My dear brother!

Huang Cuilan smiled and shook her head. I haven't married my daughter-in-law yet, my brothers and sisters are naturally fine, who knows what will happen in the future. She didn't say any more.

After cooking the fish, he made a bowl and asked Xizi to send it to his grandma. When he came back, the family finally had dinner.

At the dinner table, Xizi glanced at his mother. Just now, the grandmother next door said that two guests came to the house today. He didn't need to think about who the so-called guests were, but it was a pity that he didn't know what they came to talk about, which would make his grandma leave in a huff.

Unexpectedly, before he could inquire, Huang Cuilan mentioned this matter first. She didn't hide from Xi Zi, she told exactly what her mother and sister-in-law had said.

Xizi narrowed her eyes, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Fifteen-year-old Xizi is no longer a child. He understands the purpose of his parents and why others like him. He desperately skipped a grade to go to school, but he didn't want to find a wife at random, especially the ambitious Yue's family.

Didn't grandpa tell you not to worry about elder brother's marriage? My uncle told me that a good daughter-in-law will be blessed for three generations. The eldest granddaughter-in-law of our old Zhang family has to be found slowly.

Xizi patted her on the head, Little girl, don't talk about everything. I know everything about me.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huang Cuilan, Mom, you are right not to agree. I will be able to take the university entrance examination next year, and I will only be 21 when I graduate. I am not in a hurry.

Xiao Zuo rolled his eyes, Brother, you are not humble at all. What if you don't pass the exam next year? You think that everyone is like Uncle, who can get into the capital with just one exam.

Xizi was not annoyed when she heard this, and smiled, My goal is not so high. I booked myself a university in the provincial capital, and if I work harder, I should be able to do it. If I go to the capital, you two must not rebel.

Mai Miao laughed straight after hearing this, Second brother and third brother, you have to work harder! Try to get admitted to a university, and then I will have three brothers who are college students. Think about it.

Huang Cuilan looked at the eldest son and said with emotion: When you were young, your grandfather said that you were good at studying. I didn't expect him to be right.

Mom, I visited my grandpa last week and he's fine now.

The twins on the left and right looked at each other with wry smiles, and they lowered their heads to eat quickly. The kindness of this childhood will definitely be remembered by his mother for a lifetime. Were the three brothers tied to the ox rope?

No wonder his elder brother said that the debt of favor is the hardest to repay. Fortunately, his uncle subsidized a lot of wild game, otherwise the three of them would have risked their lives to serve the Huang family as cattle and horses.

Huang Cuilan didn't understand what her sons were thinking. She began to recall how her two older brothers took care of her when she was a child. Why is her father hurting herself? Then how did the three brothers live at the grandfather's house?

Hearing this, Mai Miao rolled her eyes straight away, and wanted to speak, but was quickly stopped by Xizi at the side. He is three years older than his left and right brothers, and he can see many things more clearly.

But favors are favors, if they retort that their parents are good to them, especially if the two aunts value the meat sent by their uncle from time to time, then they will be too mean and unfeeling, why bother to argue with each other.
