There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing quietly got up at four in the morning.He picked up the toiletries, closed the door gently and went to the yard.Seeing the second child next door was also moving, he smiled knowingly, his second brother probably didn't sleep well all night.

It should have snowed late at night last night.There is a thin white layer on the ground, which makes it easy to slip.Zhang Guoqing hurriedly washed up and picked up the broom to clean the yard, lest his mother fell blindly in the morning.

Zhang Guoqiang, the second child next door, heard sweeping noises in the yard.He couldn't lie down anymore. He didn't sleep all night last night, always afraid that he would wake up in a dream.He was worried and excited again, tossing over and over again, can't believe that he can go to work in the city, or is he in the game?If you listen to the sound, you will know it is a small five.

Zhang Guoqiang stepped lightly and hurried to the yard. He saw Xiao Wu sweeping the yard. He also found a broom. He looked at the snow on the ground and said in a low voice: "You got up early enough. It snowed last night. I don’t know. Fortunately, a few days ago, Dad asked us to hang up a broken quilt outside the house to block the wind."

"Haha... there is an old family like a treasure. Our parents are not our old baby! I will get up early to see what we have prepared. We will go directly to Qingshan and the others. Go up the mountain early, so we can come back to work early. ."

Zhang Guoqing saw that the front yard was cleaned up, and the two of them went to the kitchen with the lamp.Seeing that his second brother was about to wash, he returned to the room and brought a pot of pheasant soup stewed last night to the kitchen.

Zhang Guoqiang saw Xiaowu carrying the pot and asked him curiously, "Isn't this what your wife did? Why did you bring it?"

"Last night Jiaojiao put it on the stew, saying it was for the children at home. Brother, look at what there is no food in the kitchen, and my mother is locked." Zhang Guoqing watched the cellar locked and pulled the lock.

Zhang Guoqiang hurriedly stopped him, just don't pull down the lock because of his great strength, his mother must peel them a layer of skin.This lock was just bought, and his mother had been distressed for a long time, talking about it for several days.

Seeing that the kitchen was empty, his mother used to be locked in the cellar.In the end, the two brothers were unwilling to wake up their parents, so they found a few nests, and the two brothers ate chicken soup when they were hot.

Zhang Guoqing soaked Wowotou in chicken soup, looked at a few pieces of chicken, and sighed: "Second brother, do you know what I hate the most? It's our Wowotou! My eldest sister said that our Wowotou has not been reproduced for decades. Fortunately, these are wild vegetables, but the corn dregs are really unpalatable."

Zhang Guoqiang rolled his eyes at him, and pointed at him with hatred of iron and steel, "Fortunately, you are at home and talk about it. You go to the village and say that everyone has to beat you to death. Just this wowotou, there are no households in the village. All meals can be eaten. Why are so many people coming to our house to help this time? They are just looking at Wowotou. They are reluctant to eat and take them back to their children at home. We have Wowotou in our family and it is not bad."

Zhang Guoqing was deeply moved when he heard that, "Last time you said it, I paid special attention to it. In addition to our dozens of families in Beishanjiao, there are also families with many sons in the village who have better conditions. People with many children really don’t get along. Easy. Nowadays, there are many children in the village who are wearing single clothes, with full patches on their heads, and straw sandals on their feet. They are not afraid of freezing, and they play cheerfully, which makes me sad."

"It was not like this when we were young? I still remember that when the autumn came, my mother started to sew the fur all night with an oil lamp, and small pieces were connected to make clothes for us. In the winter, she couldn't bear to waste her fur, so she shivered. I never go out. Others say that my mother doesn’t smoke dry cigarettes and it’s not an old lady from the northeast. But I know that even my dad is reluctant to smoke. I really can’t stand it until I smoke a few. But also, I can’t stand the smell of smoke-we The family just smoked a few mouthfuls.

You say you hate Wowotou the most, haha...I hate it the most to come to the kang to smoke dry cigarettes.Especially in the winter, thick old curtains were hung outside, the windows were closed tightly, and a few people came to the door and sat on the kang and kept smoking.When I met someone who was not particular, I coughed a few times and vomited a few mouthfuls of phlegm.Others brought their children over and squeezed them directly on the kang.Every winter, I definitely don't sit on the main hall."

Zhang Guoqing quickly drank the soup,

Zhang Guoqiang laughed, and went out with him after eating quickly, and said with a smile: "Your kid is hypocritical! If you run away from home fertilizing, why are you still shit?"

The two brothers Zhang Guoqing whispered and joked with each other.They took the brooms and Tiemu went to the backyard.

The landlord’s wing Zhang’s room has been lit with oil lamps.Listening to the movement outside, Zhang Dad didn't need to think and knew it was his fifth child, and his three sons were the first to get up every morning to help him with work.

Mother Zhang put on her clothes and looked at him, "You wear more clothes. Why do I think it's cold today? I heard the sound of sweeping the floor in the yard early in the morning. It's probably snowing."

Father Zhang ordered a bit and tidied himself up, "I went to the backyard to take a look, but I don't know if the snow is big. I built a grass nest a few days ago. Isn't this chicken freezing to death?"

Mother Zhang smiled quietly, "Don't worry, our chickens are smarter than humans. They ran out of our windows and shouted when they were frozen. I just heard the rooster crowing this morning, I think it's okay. I'm going to prepare this morning. How about white porridge and steamed buns? The guests are here, or else add salted duck eggs?"

"It's okay if you order anything. Our relatives will not be poor and fastidious, just get some. Yesterday, my brother Zhou said that he would like to pick up a five-year-old and they will live in the county town. The couple plans to take a small-five couple in the county town. Make a wink, lest the kid turn around and make people bully. I promised, I didn't talk to you about it too late last night."

Mother Zhang looked at him in surprise, "I really bought a yard for the young couple? I said why I didn't watch their husband and wife stop, no wonder he was busy. The old Dob guessed it was in the city last night. No wonder it is urgent. Then shall we go to the city to help tidy up? Where is the land?"

Father Zhang smiled and shook his head, "I have already asked, they said no, they have already found two mothers and daughters to give some rations to help clean up. I guess it will be all right for one day today. It is said that there is no need to move anything in the small fifth house. Move to the small courtyard next door. Now everything is new in the city, even the rice is prepared. Brother Zhou is afraid that he won’t be able to invite a holiday next year, so he should pack up first, and then the couple can bring their clothes to live in. They are all properly arranged. , I really love my girl."

Mother Zhang said, "I'm really willing to do it. Just a baby, I don't want to be wronged. That is, Jiaojiao is married to Xiaowu, and the couple are doing well. Or, look, Brother Zhou will Wouldn’t you drag your girl back? Didn’t you see that Zhou’s brother pulled his girl back to the back room when he came back last night, fearing that she would be tired. He also asked the older girl to stew something to give him a baby egg cushion to cushion his belly, for fear of children I'm hungry. A person who usually looks quite deserted laughs when he sees Jiaojiao. Alas, I've learned a lot. The two fathers and daughters are enthusiastic."

Father Zhang chuckles, "Hehe, why do you think he is rushing to the city? I just want to clean up early and take his daughter to live for a few days. Only when the child is arranged, will he be relieved to go back. ."

After thinking about his wife's mouth, he continued: "Yesterday my second child secretly told me that my brother Zhou is still awe-inspiring. They were eating out halfway through the middle of the night, and two cars came from the provincial capital. The top and bottom are all soldiers/officials. Those people are yelling, respectable. Just say that the second child’s work does not require our fifth child to speak. The boss has already asked the second child to go through the formalities today, and also ask him Take the second child to get acquainted with colleagues.

I think Xiao Wu knows a lot of people in the county, and he is very good.The second child said that those who came from the provinces and cities called our fifth son-in-law.Their attitude is no different from that of their son-in-law.

Don't tell me about the second child's work.When I go to work next Monday, someone will say that it is the introduction of the beautiful father-in-law.Zuo Lin, who came back to our house, is the boss of the second child, and he and the wonderful father-in-law are iron buddies.Originally, this job was given to Xiao Wu by his in-law Tozuolin.We must also remember this favor."

Mother Zhang nodded after hearing it, and thought for a while, "Then the second child goes to work without a car? Can he have an idea?"

"Xiao Wu and his second brother have discussed it. He will help his second brother find bicycle tickets. Xiao Wu reassures me that he will arrange it properly. He said that when the boss goes to work, let us follow him to the city, thinking Come back and stay for a few days, so we won’t let us work in the field. Ha ha... my wife, you are enjoying the good fortune, and you don’t have to work if you have an old son to provide for the elderly.” Zhang Daddy joked.

Mother Zhang lifted her chin, "That is, the village said that I was partial to my old son. What do they know? My old son beats their dozens of sons. Everything I eat is stuffed into my mouth, better, rare You don’t know that we are Jiaojiao, and are even more intimate with me. I can use the things in her house as I like, and I took my hand and pointed at the secret compartment of her house. Tickets, money, let me take it myself. I put everything in any drawer or box, so I can take it whenever I want, don’t bear it, the locks are not locked.

I wake up from a dream.Our father said that when he was alive, I have an old son and I will be happy in the future.But I really don't plan to go to the city. The house is so nice. I have lived all my life, and I can't bear to leave here."

Father Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Jiaojiao, this child protects shortcomings, and kisses us. Compared with the boss and the second family, he is more like our daughters. But the hand is too loose. Last night he agreed to Xizi and the others. You can persuade us. Stay focused."

"It's useless, I said a lot, and later she forgot. But don't worry, if you look at Qingshan daughter-in-law and Qingfeng daughter-in-law who come over, she will hide and tuck them. They bring their children and she will also Give me a few hard candies, but none of the soft candies will come out. She knows in her heart that she is willing to let her own family."

Father Zhang picked up his jacket and put it on, and said as he walked, "That's good. I'll go to the backyard first, please keep your voice down and don't disturb Brother Zhou."
