There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Under the hot sun, Zhang's mother did not take her daughter-in-law and daughter to the village to chat as outsiders expected. They were all busy working in the field to earn work points. Who has such leisure time in broad daylight?

Under the guidance of Xizi's group of children, a group of people from the old Zhang's family appeared near the mountainside. When Zhang Guoqing walked out of the village, the men on the mountain were busy cutting firewood, while the women and children were also picking various wild vegetables.

Daqing Mountain is rich in wild vegetable resources, not only in various varieties, but also in high yields. Hearing that there is no danger here, Zhang's mother asked his wife to take everyone up the mountain to have a look.

Compared with wild vegetables in spring, there are many wild vegetables that can be picked now, such as dandelion, small shepherd's purse, cold winter vegetable, big girl's vegetable, small garlic, mustard greens and so on.

These can be pickled or dried, and can be used as a dish in winter. For Zhang's mother, who is diligent and thrifty in running the family, it is better to do some practical things when she has time to chat.

The women in the woods were busy harvesting, while the men near the periphery were chopping dead branches and watching the excitement. Of course, it must be the little person who makes them look rare.

Xiaopingan held his exclusive bow and arrow, and whenever there was any movement, he would swish. Except for the occasional hare that escaped, most likely he would hit the target.

That's not counting, he often found small stones in the cross-body backpack he was carrying and hit the snakes and insects on the branches and grass. A series of actions made Father Zhang grinned from ear to ear.

Zhang Lao Er cut off the dead branches, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly: Ping An, do you want to abort the meeting?

Not tired.

Then come and help the second uncle cut down trees. The second uncle will make you a beautiful box.

Pingan ran up to him, smiled and shook his head, Second uncle, you still have to go to work, making boxes is too hard. Also, my father forbids me to cut down trees, do you know why?

The people around Zhang Lao Er stopped curiously after hearing this, Oh?

My dad said that the trees on the mountain will fall in a different direction because of the different soil underneath, and if one is not good, it will be hit. He forbade me to cut down trees before I was ten years old.

Zhang Guofu asked with interest: Apart from this, what else did your father teach you?

No more. He said that when I grow up and learn knowledge from books, many things will be clear at a glance. Ping An replied with a smile. I thought that I should be right to answer this way. His dad did say that, but other things were his family's secrets, and he didn't intend to tell the truth.

Zhang Guofu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, He is right. It also involves calculations such as the distance between trees and the angle between each other. Regardless of the simplicity of tree felling, there are incidents of smashing and injuring people in the forest farm every year.

Ping An blinked her big eyes and nodded obediently. His father explained this to him in detail, even how to calculate it. But it's a secret!

Uncle, why don't we set up a forest farm here? Ping An pointed to the distance, There is a large birch forest on the top of the mountain over there, and there are also larch over there.

Zhang Guofu shook his head: That belongs to the three-way zone. Going over there is Lin County, and behind it is the neighboring province. There is a big farm under the mountain in the neighboring province.

A gleam flashed in Ping An's eyes when he heard this, and a confused expression appeared on his face. He is still young, how can he understand?

Brother, he doesn't understand what you said. What you mean, uncle, in general, the two provinces need to discuss the establishment of a forest farm here. But there is no shortage of mountains in the Northeast, and no one likes to toss about it.

Ping An nodded to Zhang Lao Er with a funny face, waved and ran away, I'm going to play.

Father Zhang saw him coming, and said cheerfully, Go and play with my brothers.

No, I'm trying to get a few more rabbits for my milk. My dad said that my milk likes to dry wild things and store them to eat slowly. It's best to fill up the small warehouse.

Father Zhang laughed out loud when he heard this, squeezed his little arm, and asked him distressedly, Will it hurt? There are still a lot of wild animals hunted in the past two days, enough for her to stuff the warehouse.

Ping An smiled and shook his head, No. Wait a minute, grandpa. In two days, I will ask my dad to take me up the mountain. I will kill deer seeds and goats to serve as a side stove for you in winter. Drink a sip of wine and eat a piece of meat. It will be warm and happy. gone.

Zhang's mother, who was digging small garlic heads, heard his wife laughing in the distance, and shook her head with a smile. The old man laughed so happily that he didn't know what treasure he had found.

She glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law in front of her who was picking wild vegetables with her butt pouting, and remembered what she heard in the kitchen this morning, and her mind tightened, it seemed that this matter had to be done quickly.

Mother Zhang pretended not to know, and slowly approached the eldest daughter-in-law, Don't work hard, take your time.

Huang Cuilan shook her head with a smile, Mom, I'm not tired. Take a break first.

Today, I cut my hair very vigorously. I still have three pieces of floral fabric. Later, you three sisters-in-law will each make a smock. The material is breathable...

Mom, I don't want it, you give them a few. I'm going to be a grandma, that color is too flowery, I can't wear it. Huang Cuilan quickly refused without waiting for her to finish.

Huang Juan is older than you, isn't she? She'll just wear it! The light flowers are not eye-catching and match your hair shape. Wear it more while you're still young. You see, mother is old now, no matter how much she likes it, she can't. What a pity to wear it.

Lin Juhua noticed what they were talking about, and rubbed against Zhang's mother, Mother, you are not old, I think the white shirt with blue print that Jiaojiao sent you last time is very suitable. You can wear it!

It's okay if she doesn't say it, but mother Zhang feels distressed. Such a good material, it's a pity not to wear it, it looks like an old goblin. Give it to the eldest daughter, but she doesn't want it. I can't bear to give to others. As for the two daughters-in-law? forget it! That's the little daughter-in-law's filial piety to herself, and she's not so confused as to ruin her child's filial piety.

What kind of temperament is your own Jiaojiao? She couldn't see clearly. That child is sincere to her eldest sister, and can't give too much, but to this elder sister-in-law, it is a matter of face.

Thinking of the eldest daughter-in-law who is stingy with her two younger siblings and loves to move her natal family instead, Zhang's mother is also a little bit lacklustre for a while. No one is stupid, that is, the second child is used to carelessness, and Jiaojiao doesn't take such a person seriously, otherwise if she behaves like the old family, no matter how good the sister-in-law is, there will be resentment and hatred.

Mother, the two aunts brought so many eggs, what do you think I should give back? I still have two sugar coupons at home, can I add some pastries?

Look, that's the gap!

Last night, the old lady came back early, and she obviously heard about it, but she didn't mention whether she needed to return the gift or not, instead, it was the siblings who just came back today who spoke.

If it weren't for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so many years, Zhang's mother really wanted to let go. Every time you just accept, don't care about returning favors, your eldest son will have more favors in the future, can this woman in charge handle these things well?

From the corner of her eyes, Mother Zhang noticed that the eldest daughter-in-law's hand for digging wild vegetables paused, and she sighed secretly. The child's temperament has to be broken, otherwise the couple will have to grind in the future.
