There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Mother Zhang went out, thought about going back to the main room, took some money and put it on her.He looked at the clothes on his body, pulled it smoothly, smoothed his hair, hurriedly talked to the two daughters-in-law in the kitchen and left.

After leaving the yard, I walked quickly to the Xiao's house at the entrance of the village. When I was outside the Xiao's yard, I didn't know whether it was working hours or not.Shouting outside: "Sister Xiao, are you at home?"

"Here, who? Come in now." There was a voice inside, and Mother Zhang happily opened the courtyard door.

The Xiao family’s yard is not big and it’s very clean. Their family is passed down from one lineage to another. Xiao Shitou has one son. After marrying his wife, he gave birth to two grandsons and one granddaughter. But he was so happy that he ran up the mountain to set off firecrackers in the middle of the night. Everyone knows what happened to the villagers.

"Sister-in-law, are you not working today? I'm afraid you are not at home. What's wrong with your health. Can you continue to take the medicine?" Mother Zhang watched her preparing lunch and coughed from time to time. It's getting colder.

Aunt Xiao smiled and handed her a bench for her to sit on, "I'm fine, but my old man is making a fuss. This old tracheitis is sick, and the weather gets cold and coughs. Why are you free to come here? The new yard is busy. ."

"I heard someone say how many fish were caught by your dashi yesterday. I want to see if there are still fish left in the house?"

Aunt Xiao dragged her to the big water tank outside the kitchen, "Look, there are a few more. You will grab them all. It's cold. If you don't eat it, you will freeze it. Give your little wife milk." ?"

Zhang Mu happily looked at the fish in the water tank. The weather is not dead yet, it is fresh, "Give me three of them, and you can save the rest and eat slowly. Sister-in-law, you fish are worth a lot of money. Are the fish sold alive?"

Aunt Xiao took out the rice stalks from the kitchen and gave them four fish on skewers, and handed them to Mother Zhang, "What are you selling? You can eat them in the river. You are also busy at home, otherwise you don’t need to use my house. Are four fishes enough? I can't eat it."

"My sister-in-law is a polite, where I can't eat it, I guess I'm planning to make cured fish. I'm not polite to you, but the money should always be paid. I'm leaving in a hurry. I have time to go to my house and chat." , Mother Zhang put a dollar on the table, and hurriedly carried the fish out.

Aunt Xiao chased her with the money, and blocked it to her. She had to put away the money or leave the fish. "My family has eaten a lot of meat from your family. You are going to settle accounts with me. Hurry up. Go back, wait until you are done eating. My Dashi said that I will catch fish in the next few days, and there is no shortage of fish at home."

Mother Zhang couldn't help it, and it wouldn't be good to refuse. When she turned around, she asked the child to bring some bacon over, "Haha, that's all right, I will accept it, but don't mess it up, it's all tickling me."

"Hehe, go back early to catch lunch, I won't keep you." Xiao Auntie watched Zhang's mother leave before returning to the room.Secretly admiring Mother Zhang, all three sons are filial and filial, the youngest son is capable, and he has a grandson. There is no need to worry about it. No wonder she is happily looking for things to help the little daughter-in-law.However, his family Dashi is also filial, she is not jealous, do more fish at noon and wait for the children to come back to eat.

In the kitchen, Lin Juhua was surprised to see Mother Zhang carrying four fishes in, "Mother, where did you go to catch the fish? If you are old enough, you will catch four big fish when you go out."

Mother Zhang was amused and laughed, "You silly daughter-in-law, your mother still has this ability? Xiao Shitou's family took it, and no money is required. You will let the child deliver bacon to the evening."

"Well, I'll go after dinner. Mother, how do you cook this fish? It's all alive, do you want to save one for Jiaojiao tomorrow?" Lin Juhua took the fish and said.

Mother Zhang thought for a while. The children in the family haven’t eaten fish for a while. I heard Xiaowu say that it’s smart for children to eat more fish. "Three fish are used to make a fish pot, and the others are stewed with tofu for Jiaojiao, so there is no need to keep them. She probably won’t be able to eat such a large fish in her cat's stomach tomorrow. I will stew the whole fish, and it will taste better after a long time.”

Seeing Huang Cuilan coming out of the cellar, "Old man, what's missing?"

Huang Cuilan carried the wild boar thigh, "Mother, I think there is bone soup at home.

"Bone soup and Wowotou are all ready? Quick enough. Let's let them help eat first. You and Uncle Zhou will probably not come back for dinner. They are all about to order. They should be eaten in the county. When we leave I said I don’t need to prepare lunch. Ouch, look at my memory."

Huang Cuilan carried the pig's thighs back to the cellar, and came out and said to Zhang's mother, "Mother, we won't prepare separately for noon. Let's cook less fish. When we cook it in the evening, we will have all the dishes at noon."

"It's okay, cook a fish pot for the children, and a stewed fish for Jiaojiao, save two for burning at night. Chrysanthemum, you will make it and you don't need to deliver food. I and your sister-in-law will send it there.

"Well, I heard. Mother, don't worry, I will tidy up. Sister-in-law, the last pot is not ready, so I have to wait for a while. I asked Xizishitou and the others to call daddy. I guess they will come and pick them later. Serve vegetables and soup." Lin Juhua saw her sister-in-law put away her head first, and hurriedly stopped.

Mother Zhang looked at the two daughters-in-law helping to pour soup and serving vegetables, and sighed: "So many wowotou and vegetables, we are exhausted. We all say that building a house is peeled off, which is really tired. Fortunately, it is not a big summer. It’s hot to build a house, or you have to get heatstroke. Fortunately, I’ve been busy these days, which is a relief."

Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua also breathed a sigh of relief. With so much food every day, the three of them were busy.After serving good dishes, Huang Cuilan watched Lin Juhua want to stew fish with her hands and feet neatly, and asked, "Chrysanthemum, are you looking for good people for carpentry work? The second child can't be too busy to do it yourself."

Lin Juhua was too busy to look up, "I don’t know, I don’t care about these things. I listen to my child’s father. I should do woodwork with Xiaowu’s family. I didn’t even see the wood, and I don’t know what to do. Wood work."

"Hehe, you are not worried. You need to use the things in your house before moving to the new yard, and you will gradually add them later. Now you have to clean up the yard before the ground is frozen, and wait for a crop of corn and sweet potatoes in spring. , Such a big back yard, you and your second child will smash the floor hard, but you will have passed the next year." After Zhang mother said, watching Lin Juhua's face worrying, she laughed.

Lin Juhua looked at her sadly, "Mother, how can I manage such a large yard? I am not afraid of turning the ground. You can help me find out where to grow vegetables and where to grow sweet potatoes and corn. Broken stones, I don’t know if we can grow live crops. The father said that he would still fertilize the land if he turned the ground."

"Well, it was originally a wasteland. Raise the land slowly. I can't come in a hurry. The backyard is the same as here, and there is no need for other arrangements. If you don't raise pigs, you can plant less sweet potatoes and use more corn."

Huang Cuilan looked at them worriedly, "Mother, second sibling, what do you say to Xiaowu's yard? I'm worried about Jiaojiao. I guess she will cry if she sees it."

Mother Zhang and Lin Juhua laughed.

Lin Juhua put the tofu into the pot, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect it to be such a big yard. Even if they both go to work in the county seat, they are reluctant to leave the yard empty. I will ask her later and see her. Will the brain work out a good way?"

Mother Zhang said with a smile: "Jiaojiao still doesn't know that Xiaowu is going to be ready. I will tell you that Xiaowu said that there are more vines in the front yard, which saves effort. There are three plots in the backyard, vegetable garden and sweet potato field. Corn fields. Most of the remaining land is planted with fruit trees. Vegetable gardens do not plant anything else. Just plant watermelons, melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, and plant loofah, winter melon, and pumpkin in the corners. Change the seasons, and plant them all in autumn. Plant Chinese cabbage or carrot, whichever saves effort."

Huang Cuilan nodded, "It's good, it saves effort and effort. Otherwise, it's not enough to rely on Xiaowu, it's just that the strength is too strong."

Lin Juhua's eyes widened, and said in disbelief: "So there is no need to raise chickens and ducks?"

Huang Cuilan ordered her, "The chickens and ducks need to be prepared to eat, and the couple are not happy to be tired of taking care of their parents. Besides, when you go to the county town, you can raise them in the yard."

Mother Zhang didn't say anything. When the county was up, the couple would definitely not raise chickens in the yard.The yard in the city is not as big as the village, so Jiaojiao has a petty temper, afraid of being dirty.She has all planned. When they go to the city, she will catch some chicks and raise them in the backyard. Whenever she has time, she will feed them by the way. It doesn't take much effort. Besides, if the house is empty, they will come back to see them every other time. , Look at the yard.
