There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the iron and steel factory on the outskirts of the provincial capital, not far from the family building, a tall man over half a century old looked at the intersection with his hands behind his back and a smile.

A passing colleague joked, Old Gong, where are you waiting for your wife?

Go, go, you're waiting for your wife. Gong Chunsheng knew that his old colleague was from the south, and his housekeeper also called his daughter-in-law a wife.

Haha... Are you angry from embarrassment?

People passing by laughed when they heard it, and each said hello and walked home. Look at this old Gong who can't even close his mouth, who else can wait for his little girl?

If you say this old Gong is really lucky.

The population is small. If there is more, it will be the same as us, and we will not be able to support them, let alone two children going to college.

Okay, don't say a few words. A middle-aged woman waved hello when she saw the gentle woman in front of Lao Gong come out.

Liu Shuhua took a few steps forward, greeted them a few words, and quickly came to her husband, Waiting at home is not the same?

Why did you go downstairs?

I see you haven't come up for a long time. Liu Shuhua looked much younger than her husband by eight years, and of course her eyes were better, Come here.

Mingyuan and our Xiaoya?

Liu Shuhua nodded lightly, Remember what I said, don't propose the dowry before Mingyuan.

I gave him a good girl for nothing?

You idiot! Is it possible that you still want to earn the gift money? Anyway, take as much as you want to your husband's house. Why bother with your in-laws.

Seeing the future son-in-law walking in front of him, Lao Gong muttered softly, I'm worried that he has many brothers.

Liu Shuhua turned her head and gave him a warning look. Seeing that he was silent, she dragged him forward to greet him with satisfaction, and waved with a smile: Mingyuan, why don't you take the car? You're exhausted.

Mom, didn't you see me?

I knew that Mingyuan was riding a bicycle with you on his back, and suffered.

Seeing her partner acting like a baby with her mother, Xizi turned her head to say hello to Lao Gong amusedly: Uncle, are you off work?

Yeah, go home, Xiaoya's mother has already cooked dinner, is she starving?

Then I'm lucky, thank you Auntie.

It's all about being polite. Liu Shuhua pulled her daughter, Is your car in the work unit?

Gong Xiaoya nodded, Ming Yuan said it was too far away, let me sit behind him.

Liu Shuhua was even more satisfied when she looked at her son-in-law's back, she was a person who knew how to love her. With a good family background, good looks, and easy to get along with the elders, there is nothing to be picky about.

Mom, tomorrow weekend, I want to go back with Mingyuan.

Liu Shuhua gave her daughter a blank look in embarrassment. This is not married yet, and she often runs to her husband's house with her partner, why doesn't she understand that girls should be reserved.

Hey... Gong Xiaoya blushed and lowered her head.

Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Shuhua didn't want to talk too much, and it was not a place to talk about people coming and going outside. Of course, she didn't even know that her little girl had traveled to the county several times before she got engaged.

In the past, spend more time with Mingyuan's grandparents, and work harder in front of his parents. By the way, I went to your second aunt a few days ago, and she gave me a scarf, and you take it to Mingyuan's sister.

Thank you Mom.

Seeing her daughter beaming, Liu Shuhua was even more heartbroken.

Fortunately, the Zhang family is not difficult to deal with, and the mother-in-law is also soft-tempered, otherwise she would really worry about marrying this heartless and silly girl out of the house.

Because Gong Chunsheng was one of the earliest employees and an eighth-level technician, the Gong family was lucky enough to be allocated a large living room with three rooms in the first family building. In addition, Gong Xiaoya, her only elder brother, had already bought a house when he was working in the city. Marry a wife and have children, so the Gong family lives in a very relaxed manner.

When Gong Xiaoya saw her father pulling Xizi to the table, she was about to sit at the dinner table when Liu Shuhua grabbed her first and looked at her mother in surprise.

Follow me back to the room to get the scarf.

Gong Xiaoya grinned when she heard the words, Mingyuan, you have a drink with my dad first, and I will do something with my mother.

Xizi, who was talking with her future father-in-law, nodded with a smile, and continued to pour wine for him.

In the bedroom, Liu Shuhua took out a red gauze scarf from the cabinet, opened the cabinet door after thinking about it and took out two cans of fruit, Bring this to Mingyuan's grandma.

Seeing that her mother was a bit reluctant, Gong Xiaoya shook her hand, No, I'll let you and dad eat by yourself. Mingyuan's grandparents don't lack these things, and his uncles and aunts are very filial.

What do you know, there is no reason to go empty-handed when you come to the door. Mingyuan told you where you will live when you get married, and where will you hold the banquet?

Gong Xiaoya glanced at her guiltily, Mom, I want him to apply for housing. There are still a lot of people in my unit waiting to be allocated dormitories.

Liu Shuhua pondered for a moment, That's fine. At most, I'll raise some money for you to buy a yard in the city like your brother. The dormitory assigned by the unit is too small, and there will be no room for children in the future, and there will be no place for relatives to live in.

Mom, no need. I've saved a lot of money in the past few years. In a few years, when Mingyuan's two younger brothers get married, he won't have to support his family. He won't be able to afford any house by then.

You... Liu Shuhua shook her head and smiled wryly, Ming Yuan told you that he wanted to support his family?

No, isn't it obvious. He is the boss, and there are three siblings under him. How can he live on his father's salary alone. Mom, there is one more thing.

Liu Shuhua glanced at her.

Mingyuan said that his cousin didn't plan to hold a big banquet when he got married in the first month. I think I should keep it simple, he is the eldest son, and now we are making it too grand, what will happen to the next two younger brothers?

Liu Shuhua doesn't even want to see her daughter now.

She thought that she should have some snacks when she went to college, but it turned out to be better, and she was even more stupid. Zhang Mingyuan's two younger brothers are now one in the Revolutionary Committee and the other in the army. The future is bright. Do you need to worry? And that little girl is good-looking, with such a capable uncle, why do you need to worry about her?

What do you mean by not holding a banquet? A few simple tables are also banquets, and flowing water banquets are also banquets. Looking stupid, he must not have asked clearly what was going on.

Mom, do you think what I said makes sense?

Liu Shuhua gave her a blank look, thought about some things about the old Zhang family that she had inquired about recently, and finally gritted her teeth and said a few words, You don't regret it in the future as long as it is.

I knew my mother was the most sensible.

Stop flattering! Since you follow Mingyuan in everything, don't say anything in the past. If their family members ask your opinion, just say that the elders are in charge.

Mom, hey, will my dad be angry?

You still know this? Forget it, leave it to me from your father. I heard that the old Zhang family is famous for its kindness. It should not embarrass our family. I will persuade your father later.

Gong Xiaoya came to her side, took her arm and shook it, Mom, you are the best, no wonder my sister-in-law likes you so much. There is no such a good mother as you in this world.

Okay, okay, eat early and go there early. You... What else could Liu Shuhua say? I hope that the in-laws will not wrong the children in the future because they are easy to talk to.
