There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Those who are content are always happy. Zhou Jiao was not at all dissatisfied with such conditions, especially when she saw the walls covered with white paper in the bedroom and the table tops with wood grain after being planed clean.

She laughed cheerfully.

Little fool!

Thank you, husband, for your hard work. I like this place very much.

Zhang Guoqing patted the top of her head with pity, and still wronged her. Even if this is the best yard in the village, it is still the worst room they have ever lived in.

Wherever you are, there is heaven.

Zhang Guoqing was healed in an instant, and kissed her hard on the face with bright eyes, and said with regret: It's a pity that there is no electricity here.

Don't be afraid, the kerosene lamp is also very good, let's order one more. After Zhou Jiao finished speaking, she groped the brand-new kang mat with her big belly, Do you still have a small treasury?

Zhang Guoqing laughed happily when he heard the words: Silly daughter-in-law!

Zhou Jiao suddenly realized that the sum of money he earned last year had been kept by her as a spare. She touched her nose in embarrassment, then turned to put bedding on the kang.

Zhang Guoqing didn't tease her either. While protecting her carefully, he told her something: Qian Yousheng is the captain of this team, and the one just now was his wife. There are four sons and two daughters in the family. This The small courtyard was built and planned to be distributed to the youngest son. Two years ago, his youngest son and his wife were arranged to work as temporary workers in the city, so this place was vacant.

Many families in the neighborhood didn’t split up, but their family split up early. As soon as I inquired about their family’s rules, I went to find Qian Yousheng in person. He was not very happy to rent it out, but Mrs. Qian heard that you were pregnant with twins. All of a sudden, he agreed. But she has said beforehand that she cannot give birth here.

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head. She convinced Zhang Guoqing! Being able to find the yard in such a short time, and with such a number one person around, has saved a lot of trouble.

I told her about our family's situation, and she felt relieved. The rent is five yuan a month, and the land in the backyard is reserved for us to grow vegetables. I don't think she is asking too much. We told the outside world that we were the children of relatives from our natal family, but once we thought that the other party was not a fool, we paid half a year's rent directly.

sharp!

Seeing her staring blankly at the missing stove, Zhang Guoqing immediately came to understand: Just press what is missing, Dad will bring Ping An over to cover at noon.

Zhou Jiao looked at him overjoyed: Really?

It's true! Dad said that we are often at school, and he must come over to prevent those rogues from attracting our attention.

Then let's hurry up, when they come over for lunch.

Don't worry, I'll come later. Zhang Guoqing helped her put away the things, Do you think there is anything missing? I'll go shopping in the afternoon.

Zhou Jiao has already looked around, and there should be something, this man is almost ready, any more will be eye-catching. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the chicken coop on the side of the yard: When it settles down, it doesn't matter if I raise two chickens?

Zhang Guoqing looked out from her line of sight, and said with a smile: It is now advocated to raise more chickens and more pigs, so it must be okay to only have two chickens. But, Jiaojiao, it's better not to raise them, it's too stinky in summer.

Thinking of those smells, Zhou Jiao hesitated for a while, I'll think about it later, the main thing is not to keep them, will it appear that we are out of place.

During the transitional period of two or three months, Zhang Guoqing didn't intend to follow his hometown into the vulgar. He was worried that his wife wouldn't be able to eat well, not that he didn't have enough to eat.

The husband and wife chatted in whispers, and soon the oil, salt, rice and vinegar were sorted out, and it looked like a home.

Before noon, Zhou Xiaozheng brought a group of people over.

Two cars parked outside the yard with a noisy noise, attracting many old ladies and children who were not working at home to come and watch the excitement.

When Qian Yousheng, the team leader, brought two men over one after another, Zhou Jiao didn't know how to face her father's so-called pressure.

It's too ostentatious!

Mrs. Cheng and Lin Lishan, both in military uniform, stood outside the courtyard gate and greeted the women, ignoring their awe and curiosity, and chatted with smiles on their faces.

In the room, Mr. Cheng and Zhou Xiaozheng, who were in formal attire, were also entertaining Qian Yousheng, especially Mr. Cheng, who had a weak child and was studying hard.

Soon everyone inside and outside came to a result. This family is all soldiers. For the sake of justice, the family's only seedling was placed in foster care in the countryside, and its bones were broken.

If it weren't for the children's studies, they might have to be hospitalized to protect the twins. Nowadays, in order not to delay work and study, I really have no choice but to live close to the school.

People have said that it depends on the good atmosphere in their team, and hope that when the family is too busy with official duties, someone can help the children when they encounter difficulties.

Qian Yousheng, who thought he knew the truth, patted his chest to reassure Mr. Cheng and the others. He asked his wife to take care of the young couple.

Zhou Jiao, who was eating melons, faced the sympathetic eyes of the old ladies, and greeted everyone with a stiff smile. After finally waiting for the crowd to disperse, they returned to the house and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Xiaozheng had seen enough of his daughter's bustle, and then patrolled the yard critically. After looking at the bedroom, he patted his son-in-law on the shoulder.

Zhang Guoqing looked at him anxiously: Dad, are you praising me or asking me to keep working hard?

It's both.

At the side, Mr. Cheng was amused by this pair of Weng and his son-in-law.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Cheng looked around and sighed secretly. Looking at Lin Lishan's red eyes, she could only smile and say, It's better than the cave dwellings back then.

Zhou Jiao put her arms around her son and nodded with a smile: This place is nice, I like it very much. Mom, you can come and live here if you want.

Lin Lishan looked at her speechlessly, seeing her smiling all over her face, she could only agree, Okay, as soon as there is a holiday, Mom will bring Ping An to accompany you.

Old lady Cheng rolled her eyes secretly. If you really have a holiday, you will go home. Why are you still here? Besides, how many months has it been now, are you still here when the child is confinement? This couple is talking nonsense.

Ping An touched Zhou Jiao's belly: Brother, you have to be good, and the elder brother will take you to play in the future.

Baby, are there any children bullying you in the kindergarten?

No, they are all good buddies of mine, and the teacher praises me every day.

Mrs. Cheng knew that she felt sorry for her child, I went to see it several times, and our family is safe and welcome. This time, I will be an announcer on June 1st, right?

Ping An looked at Zhou Jiao with a smile on his face: Mom, I'm not only an announcer, I also have a show. The teacher said that if I behave well, I can also represent the children and give flowers to my grandfather.

Really? So powerful?

Ping An was provoked by Zhou Jiao's surprise expression and giggled.

My son is so good, my mother must go to the Ping An performance that day.

This will be replaced by Ping An's face of surprise, and he can't wait to ask: Mom, is it true? Can you go? There are so many people, will they overwhelm the younger brothers?

Zhou Jiao was so sad that she almost shed tears, hugged the child's young body tightly, and nodded repeatedly: Really, your father and I will definitely go over and cheer for you!

Mom, I love you the most.

I love you too.
