There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

After the day of the new year, every household sweeps the house and windows, washes the clothes, scrubs the pots and pans, and does a thorough cleaning to prepare for the Spring Festival.

The Zhou family didn't need to clean up because of Zhou Jiao's troubles before. When the father-in-law and his wife went to work, Zhang Guoqing also took his son to find Dr. Hu.

The logistics department just sent this month's food supply and Spring Festival benefits. Zhou Jiao thanked the soldiers, and when they left, she planned to steam some bean buns first.

There is an extra Aunt Chen who knows everything at home, and it is not convenient for her to take out space inventory casually. I can only prepare more of each kind of New Year's goods, and add some secretly when eating.

Aunt, do you want to go home early this year?

No, you are healthy, I don't worry about leaving.

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile: Then let's make more, and bring some back when you go home for the New Year's Eve, so that your family can taste it.

I'll keep it for you. Jiaojiao, I see that there are two chickens in the front yard. How about we raise chickens in the spring? Just in time for your confinement.

Zhou Jiao was startled when she heard the words. Thinking about the smell, she would rather go hungry. Besides, after a year, there are restrictions on these again, so why bother to be conspicuous.

She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: The family depends on you to work hard alone, so let's forget about it. The confinement stuff will be exchanged with others for a few months.

Aunt Chen thought for a while and nodded. But in my heart, I plan to ask my natal sister-in-law to help me gather some eggs. The ones bought in the city are not fresh in summer.

Just sit and I'll come. There's no rush to meet now.

It's okay, I'm only pregnant and not sick.

Aunt Chen turned her head and poohed on the ground several times: I never said that, I never said that.

Zhou Jiao laughed happily. Last time it seemed to be childish.

I heard that Qu's family bought an electronic box a while ago, and many people went over to check it out. Would you like to go over and have a look?

Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes, confused. What is an electric box?

I think about what they said. It seems to be electricity...chicken or something. I heard that there are women and men in it after plugging in the electricity. That is the New Year's gift that the daughter of the Qu family bought from the Friendship Store for her natal family. When I moved back But it was a sensation, almost all the people in the courtyard went to Rare, but I didn’t go.”

Zhou Jiao realized that it seemed to be a TV.

Are you a prodigal? If you have some money, it's better to keep it in your hands. If you want to watch a movie or something, there is no shortage in the courtyard. Fortunately, her house is over there, otherwise there will be a lot of people coming and going.

Zhou Jiao smiled and said nothing. The composer is playing tricks to death!

This person, how many blessings have been arranged by God, and he can't keep tossing around. The daughter of the Qu family is also a fool. She was divorced by her husband's family before and made a lot of noise. Now there will be another trick, why don't you understand? Live in peace. I don't have any children and don't know if I have money in my hands.

What do you care about them? It's hard to buy a good heart. People may praise the daughter of this family for being capable and filial. How can I buy such expensive goods if I don't know the way. Zhou Jiao persuaded inappropriately.

Aunt Chen glanced at her, Your mother will buy it later, so hold on.

Zhou Jiao laughed straight at the words. It turns out that this word is left here. She nodded quickly.

Aunt Chen followed her laughter and shook her head with a smile: It is reasonable to say that I am talking too much, but your mother spoils children too much. If Ping An goes to Qu's house in cold weather, she will definitely find a way to buy it.

You treat us like your own family. There's no need to talk too much. It's too late for us to be grateful. Don't worry, I'll scrape off all my mother's family fortune. She has no money to buy it.

Aunt Chen laughed heartily. She knew that the child understood her own meaning and would not despise her meddling. Yesterday I went to line up to look at the topics that the aunts talked about in private. She was very glad that the Zhou family were all smart people, and they didn't learn to be ostentatious like those other families.

What are you talking about so happily? Mrs. Cheng walked into the kitchen with a smile.

Seeing the eggs she was carrying, Zhou Jiao persuaded unhappily: Grandma, you only supply as much as you can, don't stuff it all into my mouth. I really don't lack food, you worry about me, don't I want you to live forever? Centenary?

Here again, this will be brought back by your cousin, not my supply.

Aunt Chen looked at Zhou Jiao, she had to nod to accept it or not.

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, seeing that she took it away and put it away, supported the old lady to leave the kitchen, and dragged her back to the bedroom in the east wing.

You don't feel sick, do you? How's your appetite? Is there anything you want to eat in particular?

Well, just like Huaipingan, I don't have any special hobbies of sour or spicy. Auntie, you made fewer dumplings this year. My brother made a lot of white noodles two days ago, and I wrapped them up and sent them home. My aunt You still like the smell of seafood, right? This winter is good, unlike summer where you can’t keep something.”

Mrs. Cheng patted her hand, Good boy, save the delicious ones for yourself. Now you are eating alone and making up for two. Don't lose your mouth.

Zhou Jiao saw the bedroom, and she opened the cabinet door: It's no good, you always look inside, my dad loves me so much. I will eat bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin and red dates.

Mrs. Cheng glanced at it, and shook her head dissatisfied: It's still missing, and our Jiaojiao has been wronged. Now that you have money, you can't buy good things. I don't know if those people can bring them back when they go abroad?

Zhou Jiao was startled when she heard this, Grandma, don't ask someone to bring it, I won't eat it if you have it. How many people are staring at our two families, we can't let people keep it. From the moment I knew I was pregnant, I sent a letter back to my hometown to buy walnuts Tremella. Before I came here last time, I bought a century-old ginseng. There is really no shortage of food, and I have prepared everything I need.

Don't worry! Your aunt knows it well. Mrs. Cheng quickly patted her comfortingly.

It's no wonder Zhou Jiao is relieved. Worried about the old man messing around, she hurried out of the bedroom, opened the cotton curtain on the study door, saw that there was no one in the yard, and no one was hiding outside the window, and ran back to the bedroom.

Don't worry, walk slowly and be careful.

Zhou Jiao shook her hand, opened the closet, opened the mezzanine, took out a wooden box and handed it to her: Look, my family is rich. Ginseng, five hundred years old.

Old Madam Cheng gave her a blank look, unwilling to blame her, and her eye circles were even redder. This child, if her grandma was here, how could such a little thing be so carefully hidden.

Thinking about how much ginseng and bird's nest I ate back then, the Gu family never bought ginseng without a century old. Any decorations in her eldest sister's room can make ordinary people live for ten or eight years.

Zhou Jiao shook her arm nervously: Grandma?

Mrs. Cheng took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: It's okay. When you are old, you can't see a child who is well-behaved and sensible. Well, my aunt and grandma don't ask anyone to ask for things.

Yes, as long as we are safe. Zhou Jiao observed her face, I have hidden the meat in the bun, whether it is the skin or not.

Seeing the old lady staring at the quilts on her kang and looking at her quilted jacket with disgust, Zhou Jiao smiled wryly and lifted up the coat to let her see the fur inside.

Sable! Most people have at most one scarf. You always look at me, my family is thick. Don't look at the outside, it's all white from washing, all the cotton-padded jackets and trousers at home are new cotton.

The old lady Cheng watched Zhou Jiao showing off like a peacock, and laughed happily. Squeezing her coat was indeed soft, and touched the top of her head in relief.

As the old man said, the child's setbacks in childhood may have been a good thing on the other hand. It is a good thing to be more cautious than her eldest sister, and I should be happy.
