There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

At the same time, Zhou Xiao was having dinner at Cheng's house, accompanied by Mr. Cheng and his father and son, drinking tea and chatting around the stove in the study.

While talking, they talked about Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao's whereabouts after graduation.

Time flies, and they will be released to practice in the unit in the second half of the year. By this time next year, the distribution of their young couple will be determined.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded after listening to Cheng Lao's words.

On the side, Cheng Sijin muttered: Brother, what are you nodding? You have to stare at it earlier and serve some snacks. Don't talk about us Jiaojiao, but Xiaowu has a lot of problems. He is a transfer student. I heard that Old Wu from the west of the city was in my office. He said that Xiao Wu is a member of their system.

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head with a smile, and poured boiling water for Cheng Sijin.

Mr. Cheng raised his son on the sidelines: It's useless for Xiao Wu to say more, you have to obey the assignment. The key depends on what your elder brother plans?

Zhou Xiaozheng shook his head: It's up to the higher authorities to decide, it depends on the child's interest. Old Wu won't force it because of my face. He also knows that the capital city is no better than the Northeast county, and that he is not an active soldier working in the Armed Forces/Armment/Ministry. There is not much room for improvement in the future.”

Cheng Sijin frowned when he heard that, and looked at Zhou Xiaozheng disapprovingly: Then what do you mean, let the children toss? If you don't intervene, you will really be assigned to another place, don't regret it!

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and was in a good mood: Then what do you think?

Cheng Lao looked at him, then at his son, bowed his head and blew on the floating tea leaves, sighing inwardly that this was the difference between the two.

Brother...

Zhou Xiaozheng squinted at him: Look at you! Hold on tight first. There's still a year left, what's the rush?

When my eldest was in high school, I arranged for him the way he would go in the future. How could Xiao Wu be such a troublesome kid? It would be great if he went directly to the military academy, and he will be a lieutenant when he comes out.

Lieutenant? How rare! Zhou Xiaozheng picked up the teacup with a slight smile, tapped the lid on the rim of the cup a few times, blew lightly, took a sip, put the lid on the tea, and placed it on the coffee table without haste.

——There are some things about the two children that can't be said now, no matter how good the relationship is, he doesn't want to announce it before the last step.

As Zhou Xiaozheng's expression remained calm and his demeanor exuded an indescribable charm, Cheng Sijin also gradually lost his anxiety, and picked up the teacup.

Mr. Cheng looked at Zhou Xiaozheng appreciatively—the child became more restrained after losing the arrogance of his youth.

Back then, brother Jinyu often made tea and said with a smile that tea is like life, and if you can understand it, you will gain the Tao. That scene seems to be in front of my eyes, and some things are really hereditary.

Seeing that it was late, Mrs. Cheng knocked on the door and pushed in. Seeing the three of them drinking tea quietly, she said with a smile, Don't drink too much and you won't be able to fall asleep.

As she spoke, she pointed to the clock in the study, Have you guys finished talking? When it's over, I want to go with Xiaozheng to see his mother Xiaowu.

Zhou Xiaozheng supported her with one hand, and quickly refused: No, it's going to be cold and slippery, so we'll go there tomorrow morning.

You don't understand. Xiao Wu's mother is here, and I, as an elder, have to meet up. It won't be good if they come to visit tomorrow. I have to go and see if our Jiaojiao will be tired.

Cheng Lao stood up and said, You old man, I'll go with you.

No, please don't. After all, we are a generation older, and Xiao Wu's mother should feel very sorry for us two old guys. When Xiao Wu's father comes over next time, I will take you there.

A few people walked out of the study while talking, and Liu Xiu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Cheng family who was knitting a sweater in the living room, quickly put down her work and stood up to meet her.

Father, I will accompany mother to go.

Mr. Cheng has no problem with this meeting, they are all female relatives, and his daughter-in-law is a good fit. He nodded with a smile and told them to be careful on the road.

Seeing the aunt at home carrying a basket of frozen pears, frozen persimmons and other fruits followed by their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the father and son went back to the living room and sat down.

Mr. Cheng looked at his eldest son and asked, Your eldest cousin is very good at nourishing energy, you should learn more.

My elder brother is becoming more and more cautious now. Dad, is he going to the grassroots tomorrow to avoid these relatives and women at home?

Cheng Lao nodded slightly.

This is now, how could a big family be so casual in the past, and the Zhou family especially paid attention to rules. He still remembers that his good brother never entered the inner courtyard of his Yue family, let alone other people's family.

At this moment, he was wondering why Zhang's mother didn't understand the world. You said it's not good to bring anyone, take two young daughters-in-law to Beijing.

Cheng Lao sighed: The times have changed, and the rules have also changed.

Cheng Sijin smirked and said: If you tell my mother this, she will definitely say it about you.

These words are just for us father and son to talk about at home. Alas... Last time someone mentioned it, I didn't even dare to go along with it. I really can't keep things from my ancestors. Our Cheng family has opened private schools for generations, and we are most particular about rules. In the final analysis, it is a betrayal of the teachings of the ancestors. I don’t know who is right or wrong?”

Cheng Sijin couldn't see his father being sad, so he immediately changed the subject: Father, you said that the eldest brother has a plan, has he already arranged for the future of Xiao Wu?

Mr. Cheng was in a rare mood to recall the past. When his son interrupted him, he gave him an annoyed look: What do you think? I just reminded him to hurry up. You are fine. You are not 100% sure about things. Would you just open your mouth and announce it to someone?

Cheng Sijin was blamed, and smiled disapprovingly at his father: So my elder brother is already ready, just wait for the last move to fall.

It's not just one move. He has prepared several moves. Do you think how many units Zhang Guoqing has gone to for internships in the past few years? Their family will not rest in peace until the end.

What about Jiaojiao? She is the only girl in my eldest brother. She hasn't gone to so many places for internships. Except for this trip to the south, I remember that she seems to stay at home all the time.

Cheng Lao smiled at him unpredictablely: This girl is already registered on it, so there is no need to worry? Did you forget that she was sent to practice for several months last year? What a silly son!

That time it was really going abroad to perform a secret mission?

Cheng Lao shook his head: Don't say it, don't say it, it won't work if you say it. I didn't see that girl didn't gain weight no matter how much she ate. She just has a heart. She, I think she has decided on which unit.

Here the father and son are discussing Zhou Jiao, who has a lot of thoughts, and they are also very helpless at the moment. Some things can't be solved by IQ, and she will be blinded when it involves people's sophistication.

In the bedroom of the East Wing, Zhang's mother took advantage of the two daughters-in-law and niece chatting with Lin Lishan and the others in the living room, and secretly told Zhang's father's thoughts to the old daughter-in-law.

Zhou Jiao heard the words with a smile on her face, and secretly groaned in her heart. How to suppress the little thoughts of the sister-in-law, how does she know? Is it appropriate for people to come from thousands of miles away to visit their pregnant siblings, and to show off others by themselves? What's more, the so-called sister-in-law really has nothing to do with her.

Your father said that you and Xiao Wuyi must know what he meant. So this time, don't mention that the yard is ready and let us come over. Let them know that your father has become a high-ranking official. It is still not easy for you. Which old lady in the yard is good, you can take them around...

...You have to suppress their small thoughts now, so that you won't cause trouble to the family in the future. You have to let them know that no matter how old your father is, there are still many high-ranking officials who are suppressing you. They can't do their best. Then they will be honest, and they won't feel that there is Xiaowu around all day, and any big things are nothing...

Listening to her mother-in-law talking about it for a long time, Zhou Jiao understands that the old man is for the future of Lao Zhang's family, but also for the future troubles of her husband and wife. Even if this method is inappropriate, how can she bear to complain?

Zhou Jiao accepted the so-called training plan with a smile, but how to implement it? It would be interesting to take them to see the dangers of the outside world and let them know how high the sky is and how thick the land is.
