There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

When Zhang's mother saw that her husband and wife and Xiaowu had gone out, it would not affect their conversation.After breakfast, I took care of everything on hand, and hurriedly went to see my grandson.

As soon as I came in, I heard Zhou Jiao endorse the words in Ping’an’s mouth. She also couldn’t understand. She felt that her little daughter-in-law was speaking softly and gently carrying on her back, stopping to call every now and then. With the nickname of Ping An, he laughed.

"Jiaojiao, you should call him a big name. Xiao Wu gave Zhang Mingxuan, saying that the five elements are lack of fire. This Xuan means bright and warm. What else Xuan He is famous. In short, this name is your father and you. The father-in-law agreed that when there is a child in the future, he will be called Minghe. Together, they will be Xuanhe. The two will be very famous and prestigious in the future. Hehe, my Xiaowu will be named, Xizi’s name is Zhang Mingyuan, he said Yuan means the first one. Zhang Mingyuan, it's all okay. Look at what he took, Zhang Mingyuan, Zhang Mingzuo, Zhang Mingyou, Zhang Minghao, Zhang Mingxuan, your uncle said that all the good names of Ming characters are all taken by our family."

Zhou Jiao nodded her head when she heard it, "Mother, I really didn't know that Xizi and the others were named by Xiaowu. It's really good. What is the name of the grandson of the uncle's family? I just listen to their iron eggs and copper locks."

Mother Zhang laughed loudly, took Xiao Ping'an and held her in her arms, and smiled at her: "Xiao Wu is green according to the genealogy. Your uncle took it for the child, Qingshan, Qingyan, Qingya, your uncle The Qingfeng and Qingling you took are related to the mountains. Our family is the rich and powerful country that your father took. Your grandfather took it for National Day. In Xizi, your grandfather asked to follow the genealogy, your father and Xiao Five and two generations did not follow the genealogy, or else they would mess around in the future and let Xiao Wu take the Ming Yuan. Your uncle and uncle's Ming characters are those of rivers and lakes. The iron egg is Zhang Mingjiang, and the bronze lock Zhang Minghu, pick it up I don’t remember the string that came down. There are too many, so I just call my nickname."

"It's okay, the names of Mingzi generations are also nice. I think the names of the wheat seedlings and wheat ears should also be taken by Xiaowu?"

"Well, Xiao Wu heard the old man say that the big girl is short of water, so he flipped through the book and told your father that there were only three watery Miao, who happened to be named Maimiao and Zhang Miao. I don't know how to write it. Just listening is a cultural person. .Your second sister-in-law gave birth to a stone and insisted that Xiaowu give it a nice one. Xiaowu said to take Zhang Minghao. When you gave birth to a little girl, your second sister-in-law would directly call wheat ears from behind the seedlings, or Xiaowu’s name. Zhang Tong, it means prosperous, and your second wife's life will be prosperous in the future. My Xiaowu is kind, because she is afraid of her patriarchal patriarch, so she deliberately gave it something pleasing."

Zhou Jiao looked at Mother Zhang amusedly. As long as Xiao Wu does what she does, her mother-in-law will always find reasons to say good things for Xiao Wu. This mother really prefers him.

"Mother, the new yard is built, do you want to invite people to eat the noodles?"

Mother Zhang shook her head and said melancholy: "No need. Now the big guys can save trouble. In the past, to build this yard, to dig the foundation to lay out chickens, ducks, four animals, wine, meat, and father-in-law. All the relatives and friends of the Liangliang came. The firecrackers rang. Ear-shaking, Wowotou wedding cakes are scattered everywhere, and now it is the day of the move that I have set up a table or two of noodles. I also plan to follow the rules of the village. Your father also said, keep it simple, just don’t punch your eyes. The two large courtyards are covered. If we put wine again, we have to give us the landlord’s old wealth.

The ground in the new yard is compacted.It's finally done.You can move in this month."

Zhou Jiao's eyes widened in surprise, "So fast, I thought it would be next month soon."

"It's very fast. It's in a hurry. Originally, Xiao Wu and his two brothers planned to build the same courtyard as this. Later, in a hurry, the master bricklayer was afraid that there would not be enough stones, so they left open space and changed them into three rooms, two each for the east and the west. It saves a lot of time here. In addition, the master carpenter prepares the doors, doors and windows in advance. Isn’t it much faster? Xiao Wuyou told you about it? Your father said that the master bricklayer is a kind person and pay more."

"Xiao Wu said that the land has been reserved. It would be nice to change it to a smaller size. We are only three people. It's no use that it is too big. The master is a sincere person, but fortunately he arranged it. We will give the extra money.

Zhang Mukong shot her hand, patted her, and sighed: "You, you have loose hands. Mother knows in her heart, you can rest assured that you can confinement. If you have money, you have to hide it. You won't be able to live anymore. Besides, you can't. As long as your husband and wife are used to giving money to them, they will be able to open their mouths in the future, and the days to come will grow. How can anyone open their mouths to find you if they don’t encounter difficulties? You are still young and don’t understand the world, if you even sit in the moonlight. If you care about everything, then there’s no need. Why don’t they look at Xiao Wu alone and top three, and don’t look at whether you are made of meat and cloth. Not only them, but their children, you both can take care of them.

As for you, remember that you can give more, but you can never give more.Don't usually do it, just watch to give two cuts of meat on New Year's and holidays, if you want to give it, wait for a happy event in their little family to add more.If they also give you something, they can ignore the value, or they can almost return a gift to make up for it. This is a human relationship.If you don't give it any longer, if you don't give it, they still think that you have become stingy, and they will have big opinions.

In addition to your brother-in-law, everyone else is the same. What is the relationship between people?Only when there is a back and forth, it is a human relationship, no matter how valuable it is, the back and forth are all about the heart.Don't give it any extra money, why don't those who are greedy for petty cheapness bring a handful of green onions today and a clove of garlic tomorrow?People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Maybe you give her something, grateful on the face, and scold you for being stingy in your heart, thinking that you don't give too much of so many things, knowing too little, and insatiably greedy instead.

Mother knows that you are soft-hearted and don't care about these things, but people should be wary of each other in this way, helping each other in the village, and each other's strengths.You think your auntie is generous and refreshing, right?But when you see, most of the wild animals returned from hunting in her house will be cut and sent to us and my uncle.Usually there are none, so the last time your grandfather came over to have guests, your uncle gave the meat.Later, Xiao Wu beat the wild boar, and I gave it back as a gift, and I didn't forget your uncle's house, otherwise it would appear that our two families have joined her.This is the sophistication of human affection, human affection.

If you look at your grandfather and your mother who brought a lot of old stuff, I also asked your father to send two bottles of wine in the past, but none of the others. Your aunt and aunt came to make buns, and I brought them back buns. .Are you stingy?The mother didn't say that I was reluctant to bear those things, but look at their seven sons, did their in-laws bring things to us?No, then you don’t have to send it over. Maybe they think I’m showing off and offend others, so I’ll hide it.Why give wine?That is to know that your grandfather is here, and giving two bottles of wine means it means, I remember it is a brother, or why not give it to others.This is also a human relationship. If they care about it, they won't come to help us build the yard.If you care about it, then the mother will spend less time with them, and just get along well.Mother said so much, do you understand what mother means?"

Zhou Jiao nodded earnestly, "I remember everything my mother said. No one taught me this. If I can't do it well in the future, my mother will mention me and treat me like a girl."

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "Don't you treat you as a girl? My mother knows that you are filial. She is afraid that the two sisters-in-laws will gossiping and make the mother and your father be embarrassed. The relationship between brothers is not good, but yours is yours. My little five He is also righteous, thinking about his brother for everything. As for you, keep your hands tight, but don't listen to him."

Zhou Jiao laughed, "Mother, your mother-in-law is really partial. Fortunately, my sister-in-laws didn't hear it."

"Stupid girl, you can be long-minded after the separation. I thought your mother would tell you to keep your hands tighter. I looked at it. Nothing. Your mother is worse than you, and looser than you. I'm afraid you will be wronged. Not only you, everyone in the family has received her things. I feel uncomfortable looking at this prodigal appearance. Even if a month’s salary is a hundred yuan, she can’t plan it.”

Zhou Jiaole didn't spend any money. She laughed on the kang. It was too Coke, but she was not a prodigal. Her mother really scared her mother-in-law. She knew it was so loose and generous just by driving in.

"Mother, I think your old sisters are quite good at chatting, so you didn't mention to save her some flowers?"

Mother Zhang was too happy to think of Lin Lishan, "Say it, it's useless. Fortunately, when the car came back, there were so many things that people couldn't see. Otherwise, it would scare the villagers. This time your dad will come back, it is probably even more prodigal, your dad's. I can’t wait to give you all the good things, come on. This couple is a perfect match, look at it, your dad will support your mother’s prodigal when he comes back. Drinking last night, he said he was going to beat a tiger and get tiger skins for you. "After finishing speaking, he shook his head. I have never seen such a pampering child.

Zhou Jiao was anxious, "Don't let my dad go deep into the mountains. The Siberian tiger is already 2 meters long. I don't care about tiger skins. It will be necessary for Xiaowu to take him well."

Mother Zhang patted her and said, "Don't worry, your father, your uncle, your uncle, and your dad will have nothing to do. When the three villages go hunting together, they won't go in the mountains. Your dad grew up here when he was young, and he knows. ."

Zhou Jiao nodded, secretly planning to wait for his father to come back, but to stare at him, and ask him to swear not to go deep in the mountains and avoid tigers and leopards.

"Is there anything you want to eat at noon? My mother seems to be bored with your trotters and chicken. If you have fish, just stick a fish pot, add tofu and sprinkle some green onions."

"Mother, don't talk about it, my saliva is flowing out."

Mother Zhang suddenly remembered that she heard that Xiao's family had fish in the village entrance yesterday at the mill. She could just entertain Jiaojiao and change her taste by the way. It is also busy at home these days, otherwise Xiaowu can go and find out.She hurriedly handed the grandson in her arms to Zhou Jiao. She didn't know if his family had finished eating, she had to go and have a look.

"Peace to you, mother go out, you lie down and rest, don't go out." Without waiting for a response, Zhou Jiao hurriedly left, leaving Zhou Jiao dazed, not knowing what her mother was anxious about.
