There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the main room, Father Zhang was smoking a dry cigarette and was holding homework with his second son, Zhang Guoqiang.Zhang Guofu, the eldest son of the Zhang family, went to invite Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang. Before he came back, Dad Zhang saw Zhang Guoqing coming in and stopped and motioned him to speak quickly.

Zhang Guoqing sat next to Zhang Guoqiang and said to his father, "Today I went to Zhao Dashan with my old husband. Hearing what he meant, I would wake up and go to Zuo Lin earlier. I heard that Zuo Lin has a temporary worker position. It’s still there. I’m in a hurry for work. I think I’ll go to Zuo Lin’s house with my second brother tomorrow night, what do you think, dad?

After listening, Zhang Daddy looked at Zhang Guoqiang.

Zhang Guoqiang hurriedly nodded, "Listen to Xiaowu. Tomorrow night I will go to Zuolinna with him to see what he means. What does it mean to have a job earlier? Now I have nothing to do. The yard is covered. I have no plans for the furniture inside. Do it again. When I move, I can move all the things I use now in my house."

"That's okay. What about you going to work in the village?"

Zhang Guoqiang said with a smile: "Father, the unit has employee dormitories. There are not many roads to and from the county. Now I don't worry about housing, so I decide to work first. Generally, some temporary workers can easily get regular jobs."

Zhang Guoqing also nodded, "Let’s do this first, we don’t have money. Let’s get together first. This is not a big deal. Don’t worry, father."

Zhang Guoqiang didn't say anything.Although Xiaowu said that when a few people came together, it was estimated that he was paying the money again.But he was not prepared to use the small five.The work has been arranged, and the house has to be arranged, so his brother will have no face.In my mind, next year's salary plus private money should be able to buy a small amount.

Father Zhang nodded.He and his wife have been worrying about the inconvenience of going to work these days.I'm relieved to hear that there is a dormitory.It's cold and snowy, and I live in a unit, and I can do some farm work when I go home.In this way, in addition to the small five, the two brothers and brothers do not have to pool together money to buy a house in the county.The daughter-in-law at home does not need to go to work.Working in the village, tidying up the yard, taking care of the children will not mess around at home.

What's more important is that his little five doesn't have to owe favors to find relationships.Still my wife is thoughtful.Old people can’t go to work, whoever goes to take care of the children and who takes care of the elderly.The second child can't go to work even more. After the separation, someone needs to clean up the new yard, and there are two children to take care of.

"Father, now there is no accident with the second brother. It should be no more than ten. Zuo Lin can't handle it, so I don't worry about the second brother. While the older brother and sister-in-law are not there, let's first think about how the older brother will arrange? Don't worry, you can take your time. However, there must always be a goal. I can only focus on those things in the city."

Father Zhang shook his head, smoking a dry cigarette, "Your elder brother, his eldest brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law have always wanted to bring him into the city, but it is also difficult to get temporary workers. Will you have any difficulty?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled, "Difficulties have to be dealt with. Second brother, what do you think elder brother does?"

After thinking and thinking, Zhang Guoqiang shook his head, "Big brother can work as a bricklayer and can settle accounts. After a few years of schooling, he can’t get his diploma. I’m 30 this year, and I’m definitely not an apprentice. Struggling. Can't think of anything suitable."

Father Zhang frowned and sighed: "I asked your eldest brother. He said that as long as you and Xiaowu are doing well, he will stay at home and take care of me and your mother at ease. He doesn't plan to go out. I'm so mad, he said he will talk about it later. ."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her second child, thought about it, and said to his father: "Father, you talk to your mother tonight, and ask your mother to ask your sister-in-law. This matter is not anxious. I also started looking for someone. If I can't solve the big brother. I ask Jiaojiao to help.

Originally, Zhao Dashan asked me to report to work earlier today.My old father-in-law said that after Jiaojiao do her confinement, it has been more than two months in peace, so he took us to the capital for a visit, so that Jiaojiao could practice courage.So why have to wait for me to go to work after the first month.Now Zhao Dashan has agreed.Our family will go to the capital at the end of the year, and we will be back at the end of the first month of next year.What do you want me to do during this period of time should be arranged earlier."

Daddy Zhang remembered the things he couldn't decide over the past few days.There will be an answer.

"While your two brothers are here, Dad will tell you something. Dad will give you half a month to clean up your own yard. A year ago, Dad planned to separate the family first. There is also Xiaowu, don’t work for your two sister-in-laws. It's arranged. When your elder brother and second brother have worked well for a few years, and got rich, then I'll talk about it. Dad plans to let the three of them adapt to how to live their lives? If you can't even handle the small family, you should do the housework obediently. Earn work points. Dad doesn't want you to have a job in the future, but the house is messy, and there is no saliva to drink, and no one takes care of the children. Your mother also means that."

After listening to each other, the two brothers Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded in agreement.Although his parents' thoughts were a bit selfish, it was true. All the women in the family went to work.Do they want their old couple to take care of their grandchildren when they are old, and to wait on the next generation on time?

It's only about 8 o'clock in the evening, and the village is silent, occasionally there are a few dog barkings, and the cold wind blows the trees along the road. From a distance, no one appears on the stone bridge connecting the two villages. Several households at the entrance of the village were all asleep. There were no lights and no one in the cold weather.

Zhang Guoqing was wearing a military coat and hat, and he bounced hard on the ground a few times to relieve the chill.After waiting for a while, there was still no figure. I was worried about what happened to the old wife and mother-in-law at Zhou's house.

Before reaching Zhou's house, he saw two figures hugging forward from a distance. He hurried forward and shouted, "Are they parents?"

Zhou Xiaozheng saw Zhang Guoqing running over and complained: "Why are you running here? You are not resting in the house in such a cold day, and you are afraid that we can't find the land?"

Lin Lishan was too lazy to interject in the cold wind, dragging her husband back quickly.

Zhang Guoqing smiled, "It's okay at home, just come over and take a look. Jiaojiao has made ginger tea. It is estimated that it will snow heavily in a few days."

Several people were talking and walked quickly to Zhang's house and into the yard. Zhou Xiaozheng and his son-in-law went directly to the hall, while Lin Lishan hurriedly went into Zhou Jiao's room. After entering the house, she saw Zhou Jiao again. Pour ginger tea and pass it to her.

After drinking the ginger tea, Lin Lishan came over warmly and said, “I’m freezing to death. It’s not so cold during the day. I can’t feel it in the room. No wonder there will be cat winter in the winter. Here, don’t go out at night. The wind blows. There was no shadow on the road. I wouldn't dare to go out unless your father was there."

Zhou Jiao took out the thermal underwear from the inner room, "I heard Xiao Wu said that it was only two days before the temperature fell, and it will snow in a few days. Mom, you take this thermal underwear back and let my dad wear it at night. I specially Let Xiao Wuxun touch it back."

Lin Lishan touched the material, checked the thickness, and was a little satisfied with the location, "Yes, I just wear it in winter, do you have it yourself? It costs a lot of favor, right?"

"It didn't cost me any favors. I was taken in the fall. Only a few days ago I got back a few sets, and we also have them. I heard that they came from outside, and we all rushed to ask for them. I have been asked to take some more and gave him one. The bottle of wine brought by grandpa is very happy."

Lin Lishan tidyed up and put it on a chair, "It's good, much better than those on the market, let the other party bring back more if you have it. Don't worry about the money, this time your dad brings back a lot, and we will give it to you before we leave."

Zhou Jiao looked at her sadly, complaining in her mouth: "You are so true, as I said, we have money. You have to spend it by yourself if you are by your side, and when you run out of money, I will ask you. The yard is all bought. , I have nowhere to spend here."

Lin Lishan smiled with joy, "Oh, silly girl, I always look like this every time I give you money. Okay, okay, mom knows, don’t talk about this. Mom is going to the county town during the day tomorrow, what do you have to bring, at night Write it down and give it to me tomorrow morning."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded, then looked at her worriedly, "Mom, after the evening, they didn't embarrass you, right?"

Lin Lishan raised her head and snorted, "Who dare? I didn't find them to settle the accounts. It's all good. They haven't come out of juniors, and don't know if they are in the house. We are in your grandma's room. Let's talk about it. There are only a few words to say. Your dad told me before going. I just watched it. Didn’t your dad let Xiao Wu see Zhou Xiaocun’s performance tomorrow and then consider how to solve him? So play Tai Chi again at night."

"That's good, it's okay if it doesn't make any noise, is there any mention of retirement?"

Lin Lishan shook her head, "I haven't talked about this issue yet. I haven't paid for it this month. I guess I won't raise it until the matter is over. What your dad meant, your grandma has a salary, he knows it in his heart."

Seeing that Zhou Jiao had no doubts, she hurriedly urged her, "Mom, you go eat a bowl of dumplings first. My mother-in-law has cleaned up the room, or the one you used to live in, go and see if anything is missing?"

Lin Lishan gave her a funny look, "Don't worry, I'll go right now. You can remember to eat it in the stove." Seeing Zhou Jiao nodded, she packed the roast duck and boiled lamb and walked to the kitchen.

Seeing her coming in, Mother Zhang hurriedly got up and pulled her to sit down, and asked the old folks to come over with a bowl of dumplings. After the order was over, she said to her, "Big girl, it's cold at night, let me eat something warm. Your man, I have asked Xiao Wu to serve a bowl of dumplings and let him cushion his stomach before drinking."

Lin Lishan took the dumplings and took a sip of the soup. "It's better for the eldest sister. They are all arranged properly. This is the roast duck and boiled lamb that my father ordered to give him the wine and food. It is cold and hot. Said. So let you go to the capital earlier, it’s delicious and ready-made. Haha, just try it, it’s not as good as wild pork. Last time I brought back many old things, but the old couple was so anxious that they could not bring anything in the future. go back."

Mother Zhang smiled and nodded straight, "That's a coincidence, and Xiao Wu should be filial to them. It just happened to be hot to drink their men, the old man is interested, and I can thank him for me when I go back." He got up and untied the bag. Several roast ducks and ten kilos of cooked mutton, took out a roast duck, cut a piece of mutton, let the old folks warm it up, slice it and serve.

Mother Zhang complained: "This is very heavy, it's a waste of money. Don't bring it in the future, and wait until we go to the capital to eat. Sister, stay a few more days this time, wait for the village to hunt back and see what's there. Rarely take it to the old man and the old lady."

"You don't need to send it to them. Last time I took it back and I guess it could be eaten until the end of the year. Before I came back, the old man said directly that you have something to keep for yourself. When the snow covers the mountain, you will lack everything."

Mother Zhang smiled and didn't say anything else, she was wondering whether he would hit wild deer and bear blind this time. I heard that people in the city are very rare about deer blood and bear paws. Then I will discuss with the village about those, rather less. Some other meat.She has a small five in her family, and she doesn't need to sell wild animals to make money like she used to, anyhow, there is no shortage of meat.

Lin Lishan finished the dumplings and sat for a while, then Mother Zhang took her to the main room, "Big girl, the house is all cleaned up, can you see if there is anything missing? I won't be polite with you, just do it yourself. "
