There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhou Jiao didn't say anything to hurt others, and followed Qingshan's daughter-in-law's strength, followed a few cousins ​​to the middle of the village, to Zhang Tiezhu's house.

Before they approached, the yard surrounded by bamboo fences was full of young and old people from the village, chattering one by one, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

I can't help it. The old man in the village next door has already made an appointment with me to borrow half of his family's meat. At the end of the year, his family will kill the pig and then return it to me. Everyone will come over for a drink tomorrow, sorry.

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Tiezhu who was talking, who was about the same age as her father-in-law. With a smile on his face, he bowed his hands to apologize to everyone. It's like being in charge!

That's what you said, how much wine are you preparing for tomorrow?

The people present booed after hearing this.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhu replied with a smile: Not much, not much, how about we use water as wine?

The people present also understood these polite words, and they all laughed and joked a few words.

Qingfeng's daughter-in-law looked at the pig on the door panel in disappointment, Half a catty is fine.

Zhou Jiao knew there was nothing to do, so she pulled a few of them and planned to leave.

Look again, isn't there still half a pig. Uncle Zhuzi can't afford so many.

Ouch, this is not giving up.

Zhou Jiao stopped walking with a smile, and stood quietly, looking at the people around her.

Auntie, give me some meat.

Hearing this, Aunt Tie Zhu looked at her wife anxiously. If she asked her, the old man shouldn't have agreed to the old fool in the neighboring village. Return pigs at the end of the year? Can that be the same? Can the team be short of New Year pigs?

The people around here are all from their own family members, and they all help out if they have problems, and they don't have to take advantage of people with foreign surnames. If it wasn't for the old fool who would have saved his wife when he was young, she would have wanted to slap the table!

There were shouts of children's fathers and Gouziwazi eating from several neighboring houses. Except for a few people who sincerely wanted to buy some meat for the family to satisfy their hunger, gradually the crowd of onlookers also began to disperse.

Second Aunt, tomorrow is the day, so please call if you need help. Have you changed the package? Where is the groom? Why didn't you see him?

The child is going to pick up his grandma. Come here early tomorrow... After the son's happy event, the old couple also considered a major event.

A clan aunt beside her smoked a dry cigarette, and after hearing the puff of smoke from her nose, she asked mysteriously, What dowry does the new wife have?

Speaking of the dowry, Aunt Tie Zhu has been in a panic for the past few days. In the past two days, I was trying to chat with someone, but when I saw other busy daughters-in-law, she smiled and shook her head, I didn't ask, I heard that the in-laws asked the children to bring back the gift money. The two children It's fine if you like it, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a dowry.

The old women who knew each other's temperament well thought that the dowry of the new daughter-in-law must not be bad, otherwise Aunt Tie Zhu would not be so happy.

Old girl, the youngest is done, so it's time to separate the family?

Aunt Tie Zhu spat, What are you talking about, this man hasn't entered yet.

Okay, we don't have to think about the separation of the family. We have to wait a few years before we talk about it. An old lady next to her took a sip of corn porridge with a big thick bowl, and said something to stop her.

What a shame! The daughters-in-law who didn't look at Tie Zhu's family were eagerly looking forward to the separation.

This time we have a new daughter-in-law, and the family doesn't have much wealth, and there is no way to build a yard for the children when the family is separated. The child's father said that we will talk about the separation after a few years when the money is loose.

Zhang Tiezhu was watching the eldest son cut the meat, and was very angry when he heard the words. This silly bitch is so angry, she pours out everything she says. He quickly waved: Mother, you have taken care of the rest of the arrangements.

Aunt Tie Zhu saw that the old sister winked at her as soon as her wife finished speaking, and silently calculated how much she should give up before she could hold a wedding banquet.

Head of the family, is it okay for the old fool to have less meat? There is no big happy event in his family, and twenty or thirty catties of meat is enough. Do you think so much is okay?

Zhang Tiezhu's smile froze when he heard this. This silly woman! I have already discussed with my brother and sent it to his daughter in the city to sell it. It costs two yuan a catty! Otherwise, why would you rather raise pigs across your belly? He just planned to sell at a high price while the old son was getting married.

That's right, what the elder sister said is right! From my point of view, why do you want so much? After finishing speaking, an old lady saw the silence around her, and quickly slapped her mouth and laughed: Look at my mouth!

The people in the village are kind, and everyone pretended that they hadn't heard it and immediately changed the subject. This word can't be spread, or the old fool will have to make trouble at the door.

Why do people call that old guy an old fool?

That's a fool, he doesn't care about trifles. Since you opened your mouth to ruin his reputation, he still has to bring his son here to fight for his life!

Now who dares to sell without permission?

Those old women in the city with the red cuffs of the law and order wandered around. Whenever they saw a stranger, they would look at the enemy as if they were looking at the enemy.

Also, if some black-hearted and talkative report about this, the old fool will have to die! Even if the old fool makes trouble in the village, everyone can't take sides!

Others can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but Zhang Tiezhu can't!

Isn't this a pit brother? He was disliked by his mother since he was a child, and when something happened to him, his brothers ran away. Who can be like the old fool? He treats himself more sincerely than his own brothers, and even the piglets are brought by him.

Master, what do you think?

Zhang Tiezhu smiled and said: Don't touch him with the old fool! This meat is for his brother-in-law. His nephew has made great achievements in the army, and the county is beating gongs and drums to announce the good news at home. We will treat the meat as soon as it arrives.

Oh, I forgot about it if you didn't tell me. The old Liu's family is looking for a grandson-in-law for this promising grandson. If any of your family has a suitable daughter, you can try your luck, and if you succeed, you will be able to eat fine grains. This is a good relationship!

The person who said this was an old lady in the village and a well-known matchmaker nearby. Enthusiastic, good at speaking, and sincere in deeds. As a matchmaker, I have never acted against my conscience with benefits, and have always told the truth. But it's such a matchmaker that people love and hate, everyone is really willing to ask her to propose marriage.

In all likelihood, the boys and girls in Zhangjiacun are her matchmaker, and even people who have reached a good deal are willing to recruit her to act as a matchmaker.

For example, Zhang Guoqing's three brothers' marriages were all made by Mrs. Zhang.

Regarding Aunt Zhang's personality, not to mention the people who were born and raised in the village, even Zhou Jiao believed that her source of information was authentic. You know, this is her mother-in-law's best friend!

No, this time, there will be girls of the right age in Fan's family who are all tempted to ask about the situation of the Liu family boy. Like how old are you this year? Is the young man good enough? How much salary per month...

Who else cares about pork at this moment? There are no girls of the right age in my family, so don't I have my mother's family? The old ones miss their granddaughters, while the young ones like Qingshan's daughter-in-law miss their nieces.

It's not good for everyone to have a frank talk in front of so many people. If it doesn't work, it will be a loss of reputation. So you say a word, and I inquire about it secretly.

Aunt Zhang has been a matchmaker for so many years, how can she not know the truth of this? Therefore, without waiting for them to ask more questions, he dug out all the situations he knew well.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhu smiled with satisfaction. With this explosive news, he couldn't believe that anyone else remembered what happened just now. In order to let these old women talk nonsense, he finally gave up another ten catties of meat.

Even though ten catties of meat is too little, there are meat tickets in the city that cost more than eight cents per catty. In the village, in addition to not being labeled and fought, everyone usually only charges one yuan per catty for friendship, and they have to give generously to fatty pork belly, which can be regarded as heartbreaking for Zhang Tiezhu, an old man!

Don't look at these old women and young daughters-in-law yelling for Aunt Tie Zhu to share. But when I really saw the real chapter, I bought it for about half a catty after trembling, and I had to separate several meals to satisfy the family.

No distinguished guests came to the door, and it was not the New Year's Eve, so no one was willing to buy more. Even if you are willing to grit your teeth and make a move, it will be rumored that someone has a prodigal daughter, and many families pay twenty yuan a year in dividends.

Just imagine such a woman who dares to bring a few catties of meat, who can bear it? What's more serious, even in the future when her children find a partner, they will be disliked by a greedy elder. I'm afraid that my daughter will look good when she marries a daughter-in-law who will follow her parents closely.

Zhou Jiao understood this, so she didn't plan to buy meat, and came here just to join in the fun. Therefore, when Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law cut a whole catty of fatty pork belly and tied it with straw, and handed it directly to her, it was like a time bomb, and her eyebrows twitched in shock.

Could it be that he wants to take over her mother's mantle and become a prodigal daughter-in-law?

Looking at Aunt Tie Zhu who was smiling and hanging straw ropes on her fingers, Zhou Jiao could only silently accept, and handed her a dollar.

Tie Zhu's daughter-in-law slapped her outstretched right hand, pretending to be angry and said: I look down on your aunt, right? If I take your money, I'm still a human being?

Zhou Jiao hurriedly said helplessly: Mother, don't say that. How much effort does it take to raise such a pig? If it grows in your vegetable garden, I can accept it with the cheek.

While talking, he stuffed the money into the other party's pocket. Ouch, these are all patches, will pushing the plug back and forth tear the clothes? Zhou Jiao looked at the other party's life and death, she was about to cry, she knew that there was some excitement and she couldn't watch it!

Don't push it! How many dozens of wild animals have we eaten in our village? If you and your wife hadn't given us more food coupons in the cafeteria in the past two years, our old Zhang family would still be able to live well? You are slapping the face of the aunt!

That's right, Xiao Wu's family, take it back quickly! Don't be polite to your Aunt Tie Zhu! If we haven't slowed down yet, why don't you young couple have a meal?

Yeah, it's all thanks to these two children! If Xiao Wuzhang hadn't been recruited into the village health center, I don't know how many people would have left in the past few years. Thanks to the brown sugar, I didn't lose my grandchildren.

Sigh... Don't talk about the first two years, I was very panicked. Take it, son. It's not that the aunt is being polite to you. The ticket for your brother's marriage is all done by Xiao Wu. If I take your money , still have the face to live in this village?

Seeing the resolute refusal on the face of this stingy and stingy old lady, Zhou Jiao put away the money and said cheerfully, Since the old lady said so, then I will not be polite.

That's the way it is! You have a refreshing temper! Bring the children over early tomorrow, and the aunt will leave meatballs for you!

Zhou Jiao nodded again and again with a smile on her face, but the weight of a pound of pork belly in her hand made her a little breathless. What kind of love is this for Aunt Tie Zhu who sheds tears and howls even when pig blood is wasted?

For the villagers, her husband and wife have given so much, always looking for peace of mind, and never expected to get anything in return. But this reward appeared in front of my eyes in a blink of an eye...

Who said that illiterate old peasants are not as good as intellectuals?
