There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Come back? Why is it so late today?

A bus stopped and got off the passengers one after another, and finally a beautiful figure appeared at the end. After another half hour delay, Zhang Guoqing really wanted to find his wife along the way.

Zhou Jiao looked up at the setting sun, which was still slanting to the west, and gave him a funny sideways glance. The irritability caused by what I saw today disappeared.

Traffic jam. Are you okay at home?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, and didn't ask her what caused the traffic jam, which made the bus on this route have an hour of vacancy.

Nowadays, many words and many behaviors are more cautious than before.

As soon as I entered the gate, I heard the sound of the signal for dinner, and soon many soldiers came out from all directions, carrying aluminum lunch boxes and enamel tanks, and headed towards several canteens.

Looking at the smiling faces that greeted each other without making any noise, Zhou Jiao also felt a little hungry. It turns out that not every place will stage a farce every day.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his wife thoughtfully, waved goodbye to his comrades-in-arms, could it be that the outside world has become a mess? Looks like I'm going to be in town this weekend to have a good look.

Thinking of the letter from his hometown that he had just received today, he clenched his fists hesitantly. Parents, they should be like what they said in the letter, everything is safe, right?

Zhang Guoqing couldn't hold hands with his daughter-in-law, and there was a big gap between them. Zhang Guoqing glanced around uncomfortably. When did there become so many eyesores?

Father and the others have sent a letter.

Zhou Jiao stopped in surprise, Is everything all right?

Zhang Guoqing hesitated for a moment, nodded, and signaled her to leave quickly.

What? What's the matter?

No, they said it's good to be together at home, I have some doubts.

Don't doubt it! If you don't need your parents to write a letter, your two sisters-in-law will send a telegram. Did your father tell you about the connection between the children?

Zhang Guoqing twitched the corner of his mouth, he didn't know how to say it, You'd better wait a while and see for yourself. These children are really incomparable to our son.

Zhou Jiao smiled when she heard this, and hurried up her pace.

In the courtyard, Zhou Xiaozheng paced around in circles absent-mindedly, looking at the gate from time to time, or at the three Pingan brothers who were playing ball.

Grandpa, it's coming soon.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes lit up, he nodded slightly, and walked calmly to the stone table to take a seat.

If it was summer now, the cold stone bench would be okay, but now... Ping An threw the ball to his brothers, ran to him, and looked at him without saying a word.

Zhou Xiao just patted his head with a smile, With grandpa here, your mother will be fine.

Grandpa, you are in a hurry!

Little thing! You are the only one who is smart. Something happened to your mother's unit today. She is timid. Do you understand?

Ping An chuckled. I see! Grandpa, don't worry, my dad can kill pigs, and my mom can watch.

Zhou Xiaozheng smiled. Silly boy! It's not scary to see blood, the slanderous framing, the threat of reporting, these are the most terrifying aspects of human nature.

However, these words, without personal experience, children cannot understand. When he sees more, he will comprehend spontaneously. Some experience does not rely on a few books. He intends to ensure the safety of the three children and take them to see more.

dad!

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his daughter who was running forward at the gate, Slow down, I'm here, what are you running for? That being said, didn't he himself speed up to meet her?

Are you hungry? Why is it so late today?

Zhou Jiao took his arm and said as she walked, The car encountered a group of people marching on the way, and the unit held a meeting and was delayed for a while.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jiao found that there was one person missing, Where's my mother?

I called and said that there is a task in the regiment, and I will work overtime tonight.

When Zhou Xiao finished speaking, the twins who dropped the ball ran and shouted, Mom, I answered the phone.

I also answered the phone, and grandma said to go home before turning off the lights.

Then Zhang Guoqing quickly grabbed a son with one hand. With such strength, he couldn't have smashed his wife!

Dad, take us to the movies tonight.

There's a new movie tonight.

What a little ancestor!

It seems that the chance to have a good two-person world with my wife at night is gone. But the son is also his own, so Zhang Guoqing can only nod helplessly.

Zhou Xiaozheng turned his head and glanced at his son-in-law, then shook his head amusedly, I have to go outside tonight, you take Jiaojiao to play together.

Zhang Guoqing frowned and looked at him worriedly, Dad, do you want me to go with you?

Don't worry, it's business! Have a meeting with Lao Shi and the others.

That's it! Zhang Guoqing nodded. There have been more and more meetings recently, even in his unit, there are many meetings and small meetings, and the topics are all repetitive and nonsense!

After dinner, before it got dark, as soon as Zhou Xiao was leaving in the car, the three children who had already prepared snacks immediately dragged their parents away.

If you're late, you won't have a good seat.

Since going to work, Zhou Jiao has rarely appeared in public several times. It will be hazy, and you can vaguely discover many new faces from the group of women and children who gathered together and waited until the movie opened.

Iron-clad camps and flowing soldiers. Originally, there was nothing surprising about this. These military dependents moved with the men's job transfers, but one radish and one pit meant that there were also a lot of people missing?

There is always an episode before entering the main drama.

A popular song, a documentary, and the audience stood up and chanted slogans, and the movie finally started.

During the whole process, Zhou Jiao kept a close eye on the behavior of the three sons, observing how they were different from the crowd around them. Of course, she considers herself an ordinary person, and she is even more worried about the children falling into frenzy.

Coincidentally, Zhang Guoqing has also been paying close attention to the words and deeds of the children who interacted with Ping An, as well as the topics involved with the twins and their friends.

Said it was watching a movie. After seeing films with the most advanced high-tech special effects, how can the rough black-and-white films interest the couple?

After a movie, if the three sons hadn't discussed various episodes, if someone asked, the couple would probably be in a daze.

Are you back? You guys are busy with your own business, I'll give them a bath. Aunt Chen went home first as soon as the movie ended, unlike their family of five who had to greet others.

Zhou Jiao glanced at the time and shook her head, No need, just wipe off the children a little bit, you take a rest first. My parents will come back later and have to prepare supper.

Auntie, don't get tired, just sit down first.

Aunt Chen happily shook her head, Wow. You don't know how busy I am every day. Jiaojiao, don't wash the changed clothes. I'll come tomorrow.

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded.

Watching Aunt Chen leave, Ping An said softly to his younger brothers: Listen more to Grandma Chen in the future, she is a good person.

Zhang Guoqing touched the elder son's head, and the couple looked at each other and smiled. Fortunately, this family has Aunt Chen, otherwise the adults would not be able to go to work with peace of mind.
