There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Thousands of miles away in the northeastern county town, men, women and children enjoying the shade are surrounded by small courtyards, with a cattail leaf fan, a pot of tea, and a long pipe, chatting in groups of three or four.

While chatting, someone asked: Brother Zhang, will your little five come back this year?

Yes, can I bring something with me when I come back?

I didn't come back after having a baby last year, and now I'm about to come back after the summer vacation, Brother Dayou, right?

Father Zhang suppressed his wife for several days, telling her not to make a fuss without being asked, so as not to make people jealous. Of course, if someone mentions it, you can mention a few words.

No, some gentlemen had loud voices, and Zhang's mother, who was chatting with a few women at the side, wanted to answer for his wife. But she also understands that there is no place for a woman like you to intervene when the old men are chatting away.

Father Zhang happily replied: This year, they won't be able to come back even if they want to.

What's going on?

Father Zhang didn't go around in circles, and said with a smile: Isn't this a graduation? My little five was assigned to the army and became a soldier, and Jiaojiao was also assigned to work in some planning committee. They wrote to say that they will go to work this month, and they will come back if they want to come back. There is no way, let the old couple pass by.

Oh, it's incredible, your family is more happy than happy, congratulations.

Old Zhang, you have to treat us to a glass of wine on such a great occasion.

Father Zhang nodded cheerfully: Yes, yes! Tomorrow, I'll make two snacks, let's get together.

A few women on the side heard the words and asked Zhang's mother next to her: Big sister, you really kept it a secret. I said why didn't you two mention when Xiao Wu will come back?

If I remember correctly, Xiaowu's twins will be about one year old, right? They can't come back as a family, do you want to go to the capital?

Zhang's mother was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear, It's one year old. My Jiaojiao writes to me and her father every day, saying that the children can start calling.

Oh, yes. That's comparable to Little Ping'an's. Your daughter-in-law has let you go. You are really lucky.

Mother Zhang held back her complacency and said with a smile: It seems that your daughters-in-law are not filial. The children in our circle are all good children, and we are all blessed.

That's right. Those who can live in this circle are all good families in the entire county. The elderly have status and pensions. Which daughter-in-law does not worry about the favoritism of the elderly, and who does not strive for filial piety?

Complimenting people will always make people feel happy, these ladies can be regarded as happy.

When Zhang Laoer led his family for a stroll, he could hear his mother's hearty laughter from a distance, which made him feel happy too.

Oh, your second child is here, I don't think it will be long before the eldest will come too, right?

That's right, the eldest sister and her children are well-raised, and they are all filial.

Zhang Laoer came forward to greet everyone, and the whole family went to chat with each other. Sure enough, within half an hour, Zhang Guofu and his family also came over.

Several families are not far from each other, not to mention that summer is sleet and rain in winter, and several brothers and sisters also come to see their parents to settle down every night before they leave.

This move made the neighbors envious and happy at the same time. The children in their family learn from each other, and some children live far away and come to see their parents after get off work even if they don't wait for the weekend.

Over the years, the houses in this community have become priceless. Apart from the location, who would not want a harmonious neighborhood and a happy family?

Father Zhang once calculated the account of the eldest son's house change, and he made a lot of money! He felt that brother Zhou's eyes were vicious, and he was right on the ground at a glance.

The whole family bid farewell to everyone, and Zhang Guofu and his two brothers carried stools for their parents and followed them into the small courtyard.

Under the moonlight, a jujube tree in the yard that Zhang Guoqing used to please his wife in the early years has grown vigorously, the grape trellis has also grown into a large scale, and the small vegetable garden that is always in peace is full of melons and fruits.

These have also become a paradise for the children of the neighbors. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother are not caring people, not to mention that today the children eat a handful of dates, and tomorrow their parents will return a handful of pears.

Zhang's mother lit the match in the yard, just as the whole family was seated on the long bench, Zhang Meili and her sister appeared at the door strolling over with their respective men.

Miao Miao was already very winkingly pulling the ears of wheat to move the bench, and then went to wash the grapes and serve them. Zhang's mother was so happy that she took the two little sisters and just called her a good granddaughter.

No wonder Mother Zhang loves the two sisters so much. Eleven-year-old Maimiao and nine-year-old Maisui resemble their grandmothers, and they are already beauties at such a young age, especially at home and abroad, they are much better than their two mothers.

Even Lin Juhua, who is patriarchal, has to admit that her eldest daughter is much better than herself. Compared with the stable wheat seedlings, the lively ears of wheat are more dexterous and sharp-mouthed.

No, on the day when her little girl turned 100 days old, Lin Juhua's mother committed an old problem again, and in the house she tried to trick her daughter into asking her son-in-law to find a job for her precious son.

As soon as Lin Juhua refused, she was scolded by her mother.

Maisui was so angry that she just came in and said on the spot: Hey, grandma, are you really my real grandma? Are you the one who harmed my daughter like this? My mother finally had a few days to live a peaceful life, can you give her some relief?

You are frivolous and want a job. Why didn't I know that my dad is so capable? You are trying to make life difficult for my parents, right? Oh, are you raising my mom when she returns to her mother's house, or are you earning a gift money? ?”

Damn girl! That's your uncle, your father is incompetent, isn't there your uncle? Your little aunt's family is a high-ranking official. If Lin's mother hadn't been afraid of her in-laws outside at the time, Lin Juhua would definitely have done it .

Yo, you also said that it's my aunt. Don't say that my aunt is not so capable, but she is. Her surname is Zhou, and your surname is Lin. There is no relationship in eight lifetimes. Why!?

She still has to call your mother the second sister-in-law, why doesn't it matter?

If you think like this, then my little aunt can't call you mom? Come on, you just said this in front of me. It's a joke to outsiders! My uncle and dad are brothers, but they didn't talk My mother is a real sibling. You made my parents feel uncomfortable and left, and my aunt still calls my mother's second sister-in-law?

Isn't your mother still her second sister-in-law now?

Oh, then you will harm my mother for your son, and how many brothers and sisters you will harm?

In the end, it was Lin Juhua who interjected to say something about her eccentric old lady, and the old and young stopped the quarrel.

Lin Juhua was too lazy to talk to her eccentric wife.

I really thought that I hadn't been liberated yet, and that one person attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.

The more senior officials are, the more timid they are, and there are countless people staring behind them. I didn't see that Xiao Wu and his wife couldn't even intervene in the work of their own sister-in-law, let alone outsiders.

Lin Juhua took the grapes handed over by her daughter, and looked at her husband who just chatted with everyone. Sure enough, what her mother-in-law said made sense, and she was still a caring girl.
