There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing looked around, but didn't find the old couple at home. Seeing his son follow his cousins ​​to the nursing home, he gave some safety instructions.

He turned around and pulled Zhou Jiao into the main bedroom, glanced at her, and said softly: I'll go to Captain Uncle to find out what's going on at home, don't pack up and wait for me to come back.

Zhou Jiao nodded, The bottom line is that you can stay here, but you can't pass away and have a funeral here. This is not negotiable. It's really not possible, we will fill up the old house for them.

I know it in my heart, so I'll go there first. I won't come back after I'm done. I'll go up the mountain to have a look first.

Zhou Jiao followed him out of the room, and said worriedly: Remember to put the medicine powder in a convenient place, be sure to pay attention to safety, and don't act recklessly.

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, and walked out of the house quickly.

Walking on the bank of the field, Zhang Guoqing greeted the villagers with a smile on his face. Walking and watching, he found that this year was still a bumper harvest year, but he didn't know how much public grain he had to pay, otherwise this year would be a slow one.

When did you come back? I thought you didn't want your hometown anymore.

Zhang Guoqing stepped forward and said with a smile: Third Grandpa, you have wronged me. This is my root, what else can I do? People can't help themselves outside. I think about our Daqingshan every day, and I also want to stay safe when I grow old. I’m not going anywhere at home.”

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Uncle Zhang and greeted him.

It doesn't matter if he is a villain. He said these words specially for his uncle. The other party is a smart person, so he should be able to hear what it means.

The old captain smiled and said, You really think so? I thought you could fly high and couldn't keep you.

Zhang Guoqing said humbly: It's because you always think highly of me. When you go out, you just make a living. How can we be as comfortable as our village?

The old captain gave him a sideways look, and said with a smile: The more you practice your words, the more slippery you will be. How long will you stay this time?

How many days? Zhang Guoqing can't give people the illusion. He laughed and said, This time I brought all the children back and plan to live there until school starts.

The old captain sighed: Well done. Let the children have more contact with the clansmen, and they will not forget where their roots are in the future. After finishing speaking, he frowned, Come here this afternoon to help, take advantage of the weather Alright, let’s help the youngest and the youngest and the others move first. It won’t be convenient after winter.”

Uncle Zhang asked from the side: Do you live in the ancestral hall or their old house?

The old captain waved his hand, I still live in the ancestral hall, and they don't have much money to repair the old house.

Why don't they continue to live in Xiao Wu's place. Anyway, Xiao Wu and the others are not at home.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his uncle, smiled and said nothing.

The old captain was old and mature, and understood Zhang Guoqing's meaning. He continued, Forget it, they are all in their seventies and eighties. What if they pass away someday...

The words are not exhaustive, but the meaning is understood by everyone. Zhang Guoqing's yard is a new house, who wants to let the elderly who are separated by several rooms mourn.

Uncle Zhang glanced at Zhang Guoqing, Then what do you think?

Look at your grandma! Zhang Guoqing found out that his grandma couldn't scold him yet. He intentionally distorted the meaning of Uncle Zhang's words, Okay, I'll help in the afternoon too.

Zhang Guoqing completely gave up on saying one more word to the other party. If it wasn't for his father's sake, he wouldn't even bother to smile.

He saw the old captain pacing forward slowly, and immediately followed behind.

Did you bring wine with you this time?

Both bottles are at my father's place. Let's get together for a few nights.

The old captain turned his head and gave him a sideways look, You son of a bitch, why did you give it all to your father? Forget it, let your father prepare the dishes, and I'll find him at night.

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, Okay. Then I'll go back and talk to him first.

The old captain waved his hand at him with a smile, and continued to walk forward.

After Zhang Guoqing left, he circled around and went up the mountain first. This time taking the child up the mountain was the main purpose. If it was really dangerous, he would have to find another place.

Over there, Uncle Zhang was walking home with his hands behind his back after a break from work. He passed by Father Zhang’s old house and saw the door was open.

As soon as he entered the yard, Mrs. Zhang had already fetched water for him to wash his face. He wiped his face hastily, dropped the towel in his hand, entered the main room, picked up a long pipe, filled it with tobacco, lit it with a matchlock and took a deep puff.

Mrs. Zhang called her daughter-in-law to cook dinner in the yard, and she went in and leaned on the kang to relax. It is really exhausting to work this day. What should I do when the busy farming season arrives?

Following Aunt Zhang's shout, Zhang Qingshan's three sons and two daughters rushed into the main room and sat on a stool waiting for dinner.

Aunt Zhang looked at her two granddaughters, Go serve your mother a meal.

The eldest granddaughter said coquettishly: Grandma, I'm exhausted. Let me take a breath first.

The little grandson sneered: It seems to have done a lot of work.

I just did more work than you. I cut two baskets of pigweed this morning. What about you? You must have gone to play.

Little girl's movies are really annoying. You can't learn from Mai Miao.

Then why don't you learn from elder brother, who even helps me carry the basket.

Aunt Zhang sat up, frowned and shouted: Everyone is free. I don't want to help your mother.

The eldest granddaughter glanced at her grandfather, seeing him ignoring him, she was so angry that she picked up her younger sister who was holding back, and muttered as she walked: Patriarchal...

Sister, you can just go, why pull me?

In the kitchen, Qingshan’s daughter-in-law looked at the two sisters and glared, “I don’t know how to cook first when I come back, and I’m still arguing. Forget it if you starve to death! Look at the big girl in the village who doesn’t help with housework at home.”

Hmph, I'm not idle.

Seeing her mother get angry, the youngest daughter shrank her neck. The seven-year-old girl took the lead and walked out cautiously holding the bowls and chopsticks.

Why are you sticking around? Why don't you help your sister? If the bowl falls, see if I don't beat you to death.

You will scold me, I picked it up.

Yes, I'm still your stepmother. After Qingshan's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at the eldest daughter, and walked quickly to the main room with two bowls of vegetables.

After the meal was set, Zhang Qingshan came in just in time, washed his hands and sat down to take the chopsticks handed to him by his daughter-in-law, then he heard the eldest son say: Father, Xizi and the others are back, I don't want to go to work this afternoon.

Zhang Qingshan nodded, Okay, you guys also rest for two days. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his wife pull him, glanced at her, and explained: Anyway, they don't earn much work points.

Zhang Qingshan's eldest son, Zhang Mingjiang, whose nickname is Tiedan, immediately said, Mom, we're not playing. I heard from Xizi that we're going to see if there are any herbs nearby in the next two days. We plan to earn some tuition fees ourselves.

Zhang Qingshan's daughter-in-law sneered: Can you know herbs? There are some nearby that have been picked up by your cousin, and you can still keep them until now.

Xizi said she planned to ask Aunt Fifth to take us to look for it.

Zhang Qingshan quickly said: Don't go too far, it's too dangerous.

Zhang Mingjiang laughed and said, Father, have you forgotten? If my fifth aunt goes out, can my fifth uncle rest assured? It's fine if we are a few early, as long as one is taken away, two will definitely come, maybe there will be meat to eat.

The whole family in the house laughed out loud when he said this.
