There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Compared with Zhou Jiao, Zhang Guoqing over there is as familiar as stepping into his own backyard. Except for the old friends he usually hangs out with, many of the older ones are already familiar to him when he socialized with Zhou Xiaozheng, the old man.

It took Zhou Jiao almost two hours to report, and it was done in half an hour when she arrived at Zhang Guoqing's side, and half an hour was added for gossip.

As a result, Zhang Guoqing, who had completed the registration and returned home after digging the mud, became more and more anxious the more he looked at the time. When it was almost eleven o'clock, he almost went to the planning committee to ask someone.

Zhou Jiao finally stepped into the courtyard belatedly.

Daughter-in-law, it's twelve o'clock. Why does it take so long for just a few steps? Someone is embarrassing you? Why don't you change places? I think it's good for you to go to work with my sister-in-law...

Zhou Jiao gave him a funny sideways glance, and handed him the work card in her pocket.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the work card and carefully studied her face. His daughter-in-law is introverted, not sociable, and her thoughts are extremely delicate and sensitive, so no one said anything, right?

Zhou Xiaozheng, who was waiting for his daughter to come back for dinner in the living room, heard the movement, and saw a fool who kept asking his daughter.

If his wife hadn't called them to come in for dinner first, he still wanted to see the excitement. Concern leads to chaos, Zhang Guoqing, who is a weak spot when he meets his wife and children, should he get over it or let nature take its course?

Zhou Xiaozheng found out more and more that it is really difficult to be a father-in-law, especially it is even more difficult to cultivate a father-in-law who can succeed his son-in-law! If it was his son, he would have killed this silly boy long ago.

At the dinner table, Zhou Jiao gave a general account of what happened in the morning while eating. When she talked about the relationship involving the three colleagues, Lin Lishan burst into laughter.

Zhou Xiaozheng always focused on the key points, Who did you not meet?

There are a lot of people coming in and out, and I avoided them on purpose. Zhou Jiao wrinkled her nose, If any of them call me Zhou girl again, I have to run over to say hello again. It's not good to be too high-profile when I first entered.

Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at her knowingly. This is in line with his Jiaojiao personality! Hide it, who should know who doesn't know your background.

Zhou Jiao stuck her tongue out at him, and said with a smile: Dad, I think this job is quite leisurely. Why do you think they set time? I told them that I still have three sons to arrange, and they agreed again. Do you think I am very popular? They are afraid that I will not go?

Hearing his daughter's joke, Zhou Xiaozheng replied solemnly: Of course! If you don't go, they will lose a talent. In the meeting this morning, Uncle Shi told me that you were almost asked to leave by the secretariat, or he was under pressure to fulfill you. You have to go there tomorrow, don't forget.

Still want to go there? Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes, looked at him incredulously, then looked at Zhang Guoqing and Lin Lishan, took a sip of soup from the bowl, and cleared her throat: Dad, are you kidding me?

Zhou Xiaozheng finally laughed out loud, Silly girl, don't worry, Dad can still make you suffer?

Zhou Jiao thinks about it too. The little notebook is still in his hand. Can she get two salaries? Thinking of this, she winked at Zhang Guoqing.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head with a grin, and looked at the old man uneasily. Don't come to another temporary mission, either go abroad secretly or participate in some major event.

Zhou Xiaozheng raised the corners of his mouth, and slightly shook his head at him.

Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing felt relieved, looked at his happy wife, and joked, Level 22 or 23?

Ouch, she remembered that her man told her last night. No matter how confused she was, Zhou Jiao had really observed carefully. She excitedly compared her fingers, Level 22, it doesn't take a year, and I have already become a regular.

Amazing! Come on, finish this cup of soup! Zhang Guoqing gave a thumbs up with his left hand, and picked up the soup bowl with his right hand.

This action caused the whole family to burst into laughter, and they raised their soup bowls to toast.

In the Cheng family, ever since Cheng Sijin and his wife went to the Southwest, their grandchildren lived in school and went to their parents' place during the holidays, leaving Cheng and his wife behind, making the house even more deserted.

Just after lunch, Mrs. Cheng didn't care about the lunch break, so she greeted her wife and went to Zhou's house to hear how the two children are doing today.

Here, as soon as she entered the Zhou family's courtyard, a group of laughter rang out in her ears, ouch, this is a happy event. Think here. The old lady was very happy.

She hurriedly stepped inside and said with a smile, Is everything going well?

Pingan quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and ran forward, Grandma, it's all done. Have you had lotus root ribs soup today? Is it good? I told Grandma Chen that you must like it, right?

It's delicious. Grandma ate two bowls of rice. I gave it to Grandma. Do you have enough? Mrs. Cheng said, waving to the standing family to let them eat first.

Grandma Chen simmered a big pot, that's enough. Grandma, if you finish drinking, tell me, if you like, I'll let Grandma Chen cook the soup.

Okay! We're still darling and filial.

The smile on the face of the praised Pingan became brighter, and she sat down on the sofa and chatted with her, Grandma, I heard from my buddy that the grain harvest in his hometown is a bumper harvest this year. Then everyone will not be short of food and won't be hungry. it, right?

The old lady really didn't know, Really? That's really great. I'll ask someone to inquire about it later, and I'll let you know if I have a letter, okay?

Aunt Chen, who came out of serving tea, heard a soft voice: Ping An asked me yesterday, and I also inquired about some news. I heard that this year is better than last year, and the cornmeal at the farmer's market is now only 10 cents without food stamps.

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Guoqing in surprise. If she remembers correctly, Captain Qian said years ago that there was pork, and everyone was too hungry to sell the rations.

Did she get it wrong?

Zhang Guoqing looked at them, and said softly: There have been harvests in private land for two years in a row, and most people are reluctant to sell it and eat it. This year is a good harvest year, and the backlog is large. Whenever someone sells it, they will follow the crowd. Yes, very likely.

Zhou Jiao secretly sighed, and summed it up, the cheapness of the grain hurts the peasants. Think about the farmer's market that will be closed again in the next two years and the private plot that will be taken back...

Aunt Chen saw that they were leaving after eating, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Zhou Jiao away, Just clean up a few bowls for me, and go play in mud with the children.

Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Guoqing pulled her away amusedly, and asked in a low voice, Have you figured out the price of soybeans?

Thinking of the bag of soybeans she just brought back, Zhou Jiao really didn't know the current market, so she decided to borrow it if anyone mentioned it later.

Go to the farmer's market tomorrow morning! God really wants to help our son. Buy, even a single soybean!

It's useless to go to the suburbs of Beijing, because the city has a large population. Now the farther away from the big cities, the more surplus. Especially the two crops of rice in the south are now harvesting.

How could Zhou Jiao not understand the meaning of his words, there is nothing lacking in the space, doesn't she just want to run out and play? She also wanted to leave, but the two youngest sons had reached a critical period, and it was time to teach them something.

How about we take the children to some places closer and let the children get close to nature?

It fits my heart. Zhang Guoqing winked at her happily.
