There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

During the ten days of her business trip in Haishi, as soon as she had enough rest time to go back and forth, Zhou Jiao would basically try her best to go back to the village to accompany Grandpa Jiang besides going back to the Gu family's ancestral grave.

It has nothing to do with rewards, nothing to do with money, it's just for the kindness, the reluctance in the eyes of the old man, and his tireless teaching of how to behave in the world for the rest of his life.

This ancestral love made her burst into tears when she left the village for the last time. Maybe others can't understand why the old man didn't follow her into Beijing when he was clearly reluctant to leave his granddaughter.

But Zhou Jiao understands...

Here is his beloved wife all his life, his familiar local accent, and the heart of a wanderer who has been wandering away all his life, and now it is docked in a place of peace of mind.

This is the power of roots!

Just let her grandfather never leave the motherland, just like she never thought of immigrating overseas.

When she returned to Beijing again, it was the end of August, and the station was still full of people coming and going. After meeting up with Zhang Guoqing who was picking her up at the station, the street scenes she saw on the car along the way made her eyes darken involuntarily.

Go home or go to work first?

Zhou Jiao glanced at the time on her watch, It's better to go to the unit first, I have to deal with business first, and take a good rest for the next two days. There are a lot of things this time, so you need to help.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head amusedly. He knew that his daughter-in-law would not take advantage of her in the country, so he deliberately asked, How much did you spend this time?

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao blushed, Some prodigals. Except for the dozens of dollars on the surface, they spent almost 600 dollars in private. The things are really too cheap, and they will blow up their positions if they are not careful.

Hahaha... Zhang Guoqing laughed cheerfully. He likes such a daughter-in-law so much. He wants to take a few bites first. What should I do?

elder brother?

Zhang Guoqing stopped laughing, and comforted with a smile: It's good. This is not a prodigal family, it is a necessity. My daughter-in-law just knows how to live.

You just talk nonsense.

Out of the corner of Zhang Guoqing's eyes, he saw an old man with a shaved head in front of him, quickly diverted her attention, and said with a smile: Our son is still waiting for you to go back, you have to hurry up.

Speaking of the child, Zhou Jiao lifted her spirits, I bought a lot of pastries and snacks, enough for the three brothers to have a meal. Wait a minute and remember to remind me to take out the hairy crabs, don't forget.

Okay. She didn't need to remind her, Zhang Guoqing had to insist on whether there were any loopholes to attract suspicion. In the past few days when you were not at home, my son and I planted a lot of wild vegetables.

Going to the country to play?

Well, I also went to the orphanage twice, where I scattered a lot of wild vegetable seeds while no one was paying attention. The fruit trees in the three yards were also picked by my father and son.

Oh, I thought you would miss me. It turns out that life is so wonderful.

Zhang Guoqing quickly stroked her face with his hand, and glanced at her with a smile, Who said that it's hard to sleep alone. My son said that his mother is not at home, and he is sad every day.

Zhou Jiao rolled his eyes at him, Comrade, this is on the street.

So it's okay if you're not on the street? Zhang Guoqing, who misinterpreted the will without authorization, nodded clearly. Not bad! He also doesn't like to take risks.

Along the way from the street to the unit not far away, Zhang Guoqing knew her temperament, and agreed that he would first go to the next-door unit to chat with Wan Dayong.

Watching her enter the gate of the unit, Zhang Guoqing thought about it for a while, but still did not enter Wan Dayong's unit. This period of time is not peaceful, and it is troublesome enough if something happens.

First and second, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows in surprise after waiting almost an hour for her to come out. Open the door and get out of the car.

After Zhou Jiao entered, she submitted the documents according to the usual procedures, reported the business trip, and then took the form to the financial office for reimbursement.

After finishing his work, he was about to leave, but he didn't expect to see Jin Lijuan walking towards him, while winking vigorously.

Zhou Jiao's heart moved, and she walked forward quickly, followed her away, and the two went to the bathroom together. On the way, she heard her muttering that the meeting will be held later, don't leave.

There are so many people with mixed eyes, these words must have a deep meaning, Zhou Jiao nodded knowingly. Coming out of the bathroom, Ting greeted her first and left.

Her man is still waiting for her to go back together. I don't know if he has returned from Wan Dayong?

As soon as she reached the gate, she saw Zhang Guoqing in military uniform walking towards her, Zhou Jiao couldn't help smiling. What a coincidence!

Can't go?

Zhou Jiao nodded slightly, motioning for him to leave with her.

The husband and wife went to the car park. Zhou Jiao opened the car door first, watched him enter, and said softly: Sister Jin just reminded me that it is best to attend the meeting first, and she has no time to explain the details. Although no one else asked me to come Yes, but it seems there must be something.

Zhang Guoqing nodded.

Then why don't you go back first? Take your things back by the way, and I'll take the car by myself. The ghost knows what kind of meeting this is and how long it will last. I can't delay your work in the afternoon.

Zhang Guoqing just showed hesitation.

Zhou Jiao hurriedly continued to persuade: The family must be waiting for us to go back for dinner. You should go back and tell them first, so as not to worry them.

Then you must go to the cafeteria first!

Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile. While looking out of the car window, he carefully began to release two small bamboo baskets of hairy crabs and half a bag of crayfish into the car...

After thinking about it, she put another black cloth bag of steamed hairy crabs

Enough, not too much. Zhang Guoqing looked at the two bags on the back seat beforehand, and hurriedly stopped them. Let her leave an empty sack for herself.

After returning from a business trip for so long, I didn't pay attention to it for a while. It's not that it's not useless to keep the unit. Even if everyone didn't gossip privately, they still saw some problems after all.

Said it was a meeting, but actually all gathered in the cafeteria. Just after taking a few mouthfuls of lunch, I got the news, please don't leave. Yes, everyone, including the old man at the gate of the unit.

The theme of the meeting is inseparable from those sensitive topics, solemn and heavy. Compared with various meeting rooms, a usually noisy cafeteria has become a home stadium.

While Zhou Jiao listened carefully, she also noticed that there were a few familiar faces missing. She didn't ask whether those few absentees asked for leave or had an accident?

Maybe soon, there will be one after another absenteeism among those present.

Sure enough, in the end, the issues related to those few also came to fruition.

At the venue, everyone shouted slogans with great emotion towards their old colleagues who were destabilizing and their new enemies, as if they had been dug up from their own ancestral graves.

Zhou Jiao has no intention of digging out how much truth is contained in it. When the waves come, whether it is a typhoon or a tsunami, self-protection will gradually become the mainstream.

And humanity once again accepts the challenge.

Like herself, why not? Laughing at the madness in the world, keeping the bottom line of being a human being, this is the only requirement she has for herself.
