There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

At four o'clock in the morning, smoke from cooking has risen in the sky above Zhangjiacun. Except for the women who got up early, the old and young men with hoes are already busy with farm work on their private plots.

In the distance, apart from the crowing of cocks in the courtyards, there are also the loud voices of each family calling for their men and children to eat.

Father Zhang was noticed as soon as he entered the village with his hands behind his back.

Second brother, why are you back so early?

Have you eaten? Go home and finish your porridge?

Father Zhang smiled and shook his hand. Aside from the busy farming season, many people only eat two meals a day. How could he have such a big face to take advantage of?

Your siblings didn't come back?

The child's mother is chatting with the second aunt at the entrance of the village, and she will be back soon.

That's good, I have to give a shout for help.

Okay. Father Zhang greeted people everywhere, but he didn't find the old captain. But he is not in a hurry, since he is here, he will leave in the afternoon.

When passing by the door of Uncle Zhang's house, Father Zhang paused and stepped into his house, just in time to see his nephew and daughter-in-law carrying pig food.

Second Uncle, you're back in the village.

Father Zhang stretched his neck and looked towards the main room, Where is your father?

I'm in the private plot with the child's father. You come in and sit down first, and I'll call them back.

Father Zhang saw her put down the bucket, and quickly waved his hands, You go ahead, I'll find your father later.

It's okay, it's close.

No need, the pig is screaming from hunger. Father Zhang turned and went out to Zhang Guoqing's small courtyard after speaking.

Over there, Zhang Qingshan's daughter-in-law had been standing at the door waiting for him to leave and enter the yard, she curled her lips and sighed regretfully.

Aunt Zhang came over from the backyard, and seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law was not doing business, she couldn't help asking: The pigs are croaking with hunger, what are you looking at?

Mother, Second Uncle is back.

Aunt Zhang glanced at her and lowered her eyes, What can you say when your second uncle comes back? When does he not come back every few days?

He went to find his father before he came home just now.

Aunt Zhang nodded, Don't worry about the old man's business, hurry up and feed the pigs. When your father comes back and hears that it's time to lose his temper.

Zhang Qingshan's daughter-in-law was told by her, she quickly picked up the bucket and walked to the backyard. While walking, she didn't forget to call the two daughters in the kitchen to come and help.

Aunt Zhang shook her head upon seeing this. This daughter-in-law really doesn't know how to love a girl, don't regret it when she gets old. She is already a grandma, and she is too lazy to persuade her. It is useless to say too much and not listen.

When Zhang's mother entered her yard with a fish in one hand, she saw her wife going to the backyard, Why do you have to work as soon as you come back?

It's okay to do nothing.

Zhang's mother scolded with a smile: I really love to suffer.

Where did this catfish come from? It's not easy to eat some meat in the village, so I will push it later.

Zhang's mother gave him a white look, I still don't understand this truth. It was given to me by the second nephew at the entrance of the village. This child still misses our family.

Father Zhang has many second nephews, if his wife hadn't said that he cared about favors, he couldn't think of which one it was?

Send some brown sugar back as a gift.

That's what I was thinking too. Zhang's mother continued cheerfully, Xiao Wu and Aunt Ye are really amazing. I think the little baby is fine.

It takes a hundred days for a broken tendon and bone, have you told the second nephew and the young couple?

The little daughter-in-law is careful. This is a boy. I don't need to say more, she has already mentioned it. It's just that this child is too naughty. I heard that he went to climb a tree two days ago...

Father Zhang saw his wife going to the kitchen, so he didn't intend to go to the backyard for a while, and stood in the yard listening to her talking.

... Why do you think these children are not as sensible as our family? They are so old, not to mention comparing with Ping An, they are not comparable to our 6151.

Father, let's go to the capital to see our grandson at the end of the year. I just look at the photos sent by Jiaojiao, but I don't see the children in person. I feel uncomfortable.

Father Zhang laughed loudly when he heard it, Okay, I'll listen to you. Maodong will leave this time? I have to go and see how our little five is doing now.

Every time the old couple talked about going to the capital, but they still haven't made the trip until now. Except for Zhang's father as a temporary worker in the street, the travel expenses made them feel distressed.

When the Shanggong tweeter sounded, Father Zhang pushed away the straw duster handed over by his wife, and patted the dust on his body.

Come back early at noon, I'll make catfish stewed eggplant for you. Zhang's mother watched his wife leave, and seeing this posture, she would go to the field to help again.

This old woman, I'm not a child. Father Zhang laughed happily when he heard the words, and waved his hands back.

The trumpet for going to work sounded, and all the commune members gathered in front of the production team yard. The old captain in front quickly announced the names and arranged the farm work for everyone.

Seeing that they were all scattered, he patrolled from the wheat field to the rice field with his hands behind his back. When he met a lazy member, he had to scold and then encourage him.

This method of slapping a candy has been used by him for many years, and it still seems to be quite practical. In fact, besides his prestige, there is another biggest factor.

But if the members who were named by him that day did not change after repeated times, half of the work points for that day would be deducted. In this way, with a two-pronged approach, the hearts of the team will not be scattered over the years.

This set made the educated youth comrades who have been here for several months very happy. They are worried that people will not be united after eating a big pot, and they are even more worried that these outsiders will be bullied.

But the reality is more optimistic than they imagined. Compared with other places, people here have all the advantages of Northeast people.

They are enthusiastic, sincere, and honest, and they will be mentioned in time in many daily life, and the help they can give is unambiguous at all.

In the words of the old ladies in Zhangjia Village, it is not easy for the children who come from the city, so they can help a little more.

Such a simple sentence often moved the five educated youths who were far away from their relatives to tears. Therefore, they also cherish this friendship even more.

The educated youths in other production teams tried their best to ask for leave and be lazy when the farming season was busy, but they still followed closely behind.

Now the old captain is walking slowly to the rice field. He planned to see the five young people scratching the seedlings for the first time, and asked the villagers to take care of them.

Now that they have come here, it seems that they won't be able to go back after a few years, so he has to plan for these children, and he can't even tell the difference between barnyard grass and rice.

He is quite satisfied with these five young people. Raising seedlings in spring is a lot of hard work, and the seedling fields are full of ice, but these children still insist on working with everyone.

If he hadn't forced the two daughters to work in the wheat fields, they would all have fallen ill. No, after the seedlings are raised, they work hard to level and rake the ground. The five children asked to work with everyone again.

Fertilization, pulling out seedlings, and transplanting seedlings. Even though their backs were sore and their legs hurt, and their calves were bitten by leeches from time to time, these children did not flinch. Compared with the teams next door, these four children are more clever, diligent and knowledgeable, so the old captain is not willing to wrong them too much.

When he came to the field ridge, the old captain looked at the educated youths not far away who looked slow compared to the villagers, but he didn't say anything. Take it easy, it shows that you have carefully discerned.

He was also worried that in order to catch up with the work, these children did not know how to do it properly.
