There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 746: A Telegram from the Northeast

The New Year's bell rang, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and 2063 really came.

Different from previous years, this year the Zhou family has Zhou Jiao and is pregnant, and the family members gradually gather around the house, rarely going out as guests except when necessary.

Zhang Guoqing was complained several times by Yi Jiefang and the others. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you don't need a man to have a baby, so you just stay at home and grow mushrooms.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and apologized to his friends without saying a word, and his behavior remained the same. On the contrary, many more guests came to the house.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Fang Fei came over to deliver a message that a group of them were going to have a party, and after the eighth day, they would go back to their respective units, and asked him to meet at night.

Everything is too late, Zhang Guoqing agreed with a smile, and promised that he would bring good wine tonight.

Fang Fei glanced at him in surprise, Don't let me go. If you don't want to go, I will find a reason for you to refuse?

No, they seldom come back once a year, it's not like we can see each other every now and then. But Brother Xiao Fei, you have to help me get some wine.

Fang Fei rolled his eyes contemptuously: Are you worried that your daughter-in-law will smell the wine and feel sick again? I think you're almost done. If Zhou Jiao is pregnant with ten or eight, you don't plan to drink anymore in your life?

Zhang Guoqing replied with a playful smile: The wine is so rare, I save you and you can drink a few more sips. Last time those guys congratulated me clearly, and I vomited twice after drinking it, and I had a terrible headache the next day.

The two were chatting in the study, and after Fang Fei left for a while, Zhou Jiao came out of the bedroom and squinted at Zhang Guoqing, it's alright, now her reputation as a shrew has been established.

Getting together and parting are always impermanent, and life is always safe. Zhang Guoqing put down his brush and looked up at her, Jiaojiao, give me two bottles of good red wine.

Zhou Jiao looked at him worriedly, then looked down at the cursive script on the desk.

Don't think about it, just sigh for a while.

You're upset.

Zhang Guoqing nodded: Yes, they are all my good buddies. They have always been kind to me, and I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. Maybe after this meeting...

Zhou Jiao stretched out both hands to hold his right hand, squeezed it heavily, and said calmly: No! A smooth life is not a good thing for many people.

Zhang Guoqing walked around the desk, walked in front of her, and hugged her tightly.

You forgot that we made an appointment, and everything goes with the flow. Brother, everyone has his own life. We help others when they are in trouble. It is already a good deed to not make trouble. Many times you have to remember to stay in the green hills without worrying about firewood. Burn. Only when we are safe can we help others.

Zhang Guoqing patted her on the back lightly, looking into the distance. The reason is this, rationally, there is no problem, but he hates to owe favors to others, and especially hates to know some results in advance.

Or, I'll give you a handful of medicine, and you go and kill some people.

Hearing what his wife said, Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a wry smile. Without Zhang San and Li Si. He's just a little guy and can't save the planet.

After Zhou Jiao finished speaking, she laughed happily.

Be careful of laughing, is your back sore today? Do you want to go there together tonight?

Zhou Jiao shook her head: I'm very relieved when you do things. You can go there by yourself. If I want to go, everyone has to take care of pregnant women and so on, so you can't enjoy yourself.

Maybe it's too cold.

After talking about the business, Zhou Jiao didn't want to say that these things would affect her mood. She pointed to the cursive script on the table: You are improving more and more, this can be mounted.

Really? The meaning is not good, I'll start again. Zhang Guoqing also deliberately changed the subject, let go of her happily, and returned to the desk to pick up the brush.

Aunt Chen walked in quickly with a telegram outside the yard, and knocked out the window: Is Xiao Wu there? I have your telegram, from the northeast.

Zhang Guoqing quickly put down the brush, went out and opened the door and lifted the cotton curtain: I'll talk about it when my aunt comes in.

Aunt Chen sent him a telegram, Xiao Wang met me just now, and your father asked him to send it back. No, I'll make some noodles for Jiaojiao's snack. She doesn't eat much at noon.

Zhang Guoqing didn't say any more, thanked her for watching her leave and turned back to the room.

Are parents coming over? Do you see what is said inside?

Zhang Guoqing nodded, and couldn't wait to open it: The mother and sister-in-law went to Beijing on the tenth day of the lunar new year.

He raised his eyebrows, handed it to Zhou Jiao, and motioned her to read it for herself.

What's going on here? Why can't dad come over?

Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head: I should receive a letter in a few days, and Dad will explain the situation in detail in the letter. Do you want me to send a telegram to let Dad come over?

Zhou Jiao shook her head: Forget it, let's wait for Dad's letter to come, maybe he has arrangements. But whose idea is it to let the two sister-in-laws come over? Can the family go away?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head: I'm not sure, maybe the two sister-in-laws have behaved well during this time, and mother will reward them for coming out to see the world as soon as she is happy.

Strange! How strange! This is a lot of travel expenses, and it doesn't seem like a mother's idea. Zhou Jiao shook her head. No one knows her mother-in-law better than her, that's the one who saves more. It would be even more impossible for them to come and see me if she said she was pregnant. Their sister-in-law relationship has not reached this point.

You forget that they will definitely buy seats when they come, so it won't cost much. Mother, is she strong enough to bear it? I'd better send a telegram to tell her not to come here, and come back in summer.

Zhou Jiao tugged at him dumbfounded, Don't leave in a hurry. Once you send a telegram like this, outsiders will have to misunderstand that you don't want your parents to come over.

No, I said wait until you are born soon, the weather is too cold now.

Zhou Jiao frowned: Sit down!

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing picked her up and took her seat, and slapped her buttocks, I'm so gutsy, how dare you order your man.

Zhou Jiao squinted at him reproachfully: Have you considered the feelings of the two sister-in-laws? This telegram cannot be sent, it must not be sent! As for the temper of the second sister-in-law, I guess she has already spread it to everyone. Even the whole county knew that I was pregnant.

Didn't you say that parents are just adding to the chaos? Why are they here? You are busy taking care of them. If they haven't come, I can ask Brother Liu to help move a sleeper for mother. How can I be ashamed if they come this time? Speak?

It was indeed adding to the confusion, but Zhou Jiao didn't want to say that. Her in-laws have always been sensible, so there should be some purpose. I wonder if I am worried that I will be far away from my two sisters-in-law in the future?

Zhang Guoqing also frowned in thought. It doesn't matter if you spend a few dollars to take your sisters-in-law to play, but you can't let your daughter-in-law go out with her sister-in-law with a cold stomach.

Also, if the two sister-in-laws saw the conditions at home, would they have a different idea? These are unpredictable things, and he doesn't like some accidents out of control.

Zhang's father, who was far in the northeast, thought that his old son could guess his mind, but unfortunately Zhang Guoqing really didn't know what kind of medicine his father sold in his gourd.

After being pregnant for three years, he was not pregnant, but the infection was almost the same. What's more, in his heart, sister-in-law is sister-in-law, and she is just an outsider who married his brother, and she can't compare to Zhang Meili and the others.

If father can't leave, mother can bring elder sister here. Why are the two sister-in-laws accompanying her out? Which play is this?

Zhou Jiao nodded with a confused face. That's right, she misses Zhang Meili so much, why doesn't she bring her elder sister?
