There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao to the yard, pointed to the flower bed, and said, "This is the old man's. He told Xiao Wu to take good care of him before he leaves. Don't really bother to take care of it, Jiaojiao. We grow flowers for fun. Fun, if it is dragged down by playthings, it is a burden. The gain is not worth the loss."

Seeing his daughter nodded obediently, Zhou Xiaozheng smiled with satisfaction, took her to the kitchen, pointed to it and said, "Do you think the kitchen is big enough? There are earthen stoves and modified briquettes stoves. Don't burn earthen stoves, that firewood It’s easy to get your hands on it. The briquettes are good. We have a lot of briquettes tickets. You can put the briquettes directly on it without watching the fire. Change the briquettes to Xiaowu. You are careful to burn them."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded straight.She knew that she was a baby in her dad's mind.Her dad can't wait to even help her eat.

Zhou Xiaozheng pulled her into the cellar, and whispered: "This is a basement. Dad puts 400 kilograms of rice and flour in it. You eat hard, don't give it away, hide some yourself. These boxes are good prawns. And yellow croaker. You remember to hide it inside and don’t let people come in. Originally, if Dad didn’t leave tomorrow, he planned to buy some seafood and fine grains for you to eat slowly. If you don’t want to cook, just cook the vermicelli. There is a big store in the warehouse. The dried fish is reserved for you to eat slowly. The remaining small strips are all thorns without meat, so you can give it away or take care of it."

"Dad, it's enough to eat, there is no need to buy it again. You take the prawns away this time, and it will look good as a gift." Zhou Jiao said quickly.

Zhou Xiao shook his head straightly, "No, you can eat these if you want to eat them. Dad doesn't need to give gifts to others. Don't move the things in the basement to the village. Don't say anything, because Xiao Wu already knows. , You just listen to him."

The father and daughter left the basement and locked the entrance door.Zhou Xiaozheng took her to the warehouse and opened the door to smell the fishy smell.After waiting for a while, the smell dissipated, Zhou Xiao was pointing to the large dried fish hanging inside, and said: "Keep these for you to eat. The seafood on the ground will also be given to your uncles in the provincial capital."

"Then you go back, do you want to prepare something for your aunt and grandma? You can't do it empty-handed, right? I think you'd better prepare to take it back. I still have some tea in my hand, so you can take it back."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked outside and said softly, "I have to give it to your grandma when I bring it home. There are too many people, and I don't have enough points. It's better not to give it. You prepared so much last time, which is interesting.

When you return to Beijing, remember not to bring anything.Regardless of the fact that they send a few parcels as a favor, our family's money and interest are enough for them to send hundreds of times.

They gave three baptisms of peace, and you also gave those in return.Our family does not owe them.It's not that my dad is stingy, but that no matter how big bags and small bags go to the Lin family, the Gu family thinks we don't know it, and thinks we are bullied."

Zhou Jiao nodded, "Okay, listen to you. Then prepare a few boxes of good tea leaves that look inconspicuous, and you can bring them to your uncle and grandma. I guess your uncle likes tea. I originally wanted to give my uncle and grandma some donkey-hide gelatin. Now, the days are long."

Zhou Xiaozheng heard the words and knocked her head lightly, "Hehe, my girl is smart. Okay, let's go out with father and daughter, and my father will show you the main house and your study room and bedroom. The secret grid on the drawing of Professor Liu Let's not use it for now. When there are fewer people, we will design and put things ourselves."

Zhou Jiao followed him to the main room and whispered, "Dad, don't open up the secret grid for now. I don't need it at the moment. When I have time, I will put some things in a small secret grid in the cellar."

Zhou Xiaozheng saw the living room, crowded with eyesight, and changed the subject, "Some books in the study are very good, you can look through them. Professor Liu has more books at home, if I meet him, I want to sell it."

"Collect slowly. Nowadays, the prices of used books are so cheap that nobody reads them."

Everyone in the living room chatted happily, listening to Old Man Lin and the others telling stories on the battlefield.

The father and daughter quietly avoided them and went into the study.

As soon as she entered, Zhou Jiao's eyes glowed, looking excitedly at the books in the bookcase, ran to the desk, gently touched the countertop, and waited for her to look over the entire study.

She flushed with excitement, smiled and curled her eyes, and ran to the book in excitement.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw her rare gaffe and watched happily, "There are still a few things missing, can you remember what is missing?"

Zhou Jiao nodded happily, "The four treasures of the study are not good, but the paper is not good. These are not anxious when I return to Beijing to find them. Oh, this old man is really true, so why don't you leave more calligraphy? This big table is good, Reading it makes me want to write."

"Then put the embroidery tools on the kang, it is almost neat. The yard is too small, there is no way, you can use it first, and then Dad will set up a beautiful study room for you."

Zhou Jiao shook her head in excitement, "It's not too small, it's enough. Don't put the embroidery tools in a hurry. I haven't been interested in embroidering in the past two years, and the female red is enough. I plan to listen to you and start practicing calligraphy and writing. chess."

"Good idea, Dad will go back and buy the four treasures of the study and Go and send it to you."

Zhou Jiao quickly refused, "Don't, this thing is easy to break. I will go to the provincial capital to buy it. I'm afraid you will buy it again. When I return to Beijing, Dad will accompany me to choose."

Zhou Xiaozheng spread his hands helplessly, "Okay, listen to the girl. Who made you the biggest of us." Seeing Jiaojiao smiling brightly, her heart is warm, his daughter should be so.

Zhang Guoqing had long heard the conversation between the father and daughter in the back room. After watching it for a long time, he hadn't seen anyone come in. He held his son and took a look. He really liked her.

"Dad, bring Jiaojiao in and take a look at the bedroom."

Zhou Xiaozheng pulled the reluctant Zhou Jiao into the back room and found that Zhou Jiao had lost the excitement she had just now, and raised her eyebrows at her son-in-law triumphantly.

Zhang Guoqing looked at him and smiled secretly, "Doesn't Jiaojiao like it?"

Zhou Jiao said in general: "No, they are all good materials and valuable. This old man is really a prodigal. Fortunately, he sold it easily. It's not easy to get such things of time value.

The old lady estimated that her natal family was still very expensive. They were all made of good wood. The whole set of furniture in the bedroom was abandoned because of the hard work of the old lady's parents.Upside down and downside effect, now future generations are walking the same way."

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed loudly after hearing this, "You kid, I won’t say that we’ve gotten a bargain when I’ve heard it. You go to pack up your suitcase, there are some fabrics and sundries in the closet, you look at it. Dad goes out first. Stay with them."

Zhou Jiao smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, let's invite them out for dinner tonight, don't prepare dinner."

"Okay, I will explain this to Xiao Wu. You can pack your things at ease and remember to put away the important things."

Zhou Jiao watched her father leave and ran to the closet with a smile, "Brother, where did these things come from? Why are there so many? It seems that both of us can save a lot of money."

Zhang Guoqing hugged his son and gently placed it on the bed, "Uncle Zhao Chuanguang, don't say go out. Put it all in the closet, and my mother has already given a lot to Zhao Yuanyuan. These are all good things, save them and use them slowly. ."

Zhou Jiao nodded when she heard the words, rearranged and placed on the top, and then packed the clothes she brought home.All the suitcases are deliberately locked in the closet.

Zhang Guoqing leaned on the head of the Kang, "Jiaojiao, I guess we have to change our furniture. We know a lot."

Zhou Jiao stepped forward and touched the mattress. It was quite soft. She watched her son's eyeballs go straight to the door, "Well, for now, I will use it first. The village yard is the main thing in front of me. I split up early and move in early. You think Ping An loves it here. It."

Zhang Guoqing looked at the little thing and covered the top of his head with his hand, and found that he was not crying, his eyes began to look at him, looking at him with interest, "Jiaojiao, I found that our son must have a very high IQ. Before the full moon The response was very quick. Son, you still know how to appreciate it."

Zhou Jiao leaned close to Zhang Guoqing's ear and whispered: "My dad is unwilling to give things to the old lady of the Lin family. In order not to be conspicuous, I plan to send some tea to my aunt and grandpa. How much do you think is appropriate? What kind of tea?"

"Specially for Tieguanyin, the top class took two boxes for my dad to drink. It almost gave three boxes to my aunt and grandma. Pay attention to the packaging. See if there is anything inconspicuous and bring it back to dad."

Zhou Jiao opened her eyes wide, looked for a long time, shook her head, and suddenly took out a coat in surprise, "This is the coat I modified last time, can you see it? It was originally yours. I think you are quite tall. My dad is about the same."

Zhang Guoqing immediately pulled the coat, put it inside, shook his head and refused, "No, this is the coat you made for me for the first time here, and no one will give it. You just gave all the gold. This dress is not good."

Zhou Jiao gave him a white look and slapped him with a smile, "Well, you are the most important thing, right? Don't give it away. When you are out of confinement, I will knit sweaters and make clothes for you. All are warm cards."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her slantingly, "It's almost the same. But don't know how to knit a sweater, it's too tired. In the future, if you have time to knit a sweater for Dad, he must be so happy that he can't find North. Look at what's inside, there should be something of."

Zhou Jiao shook her head resolutely, and whispered in his ear, "Dad is smart and can't give it away. It's not that you don't worry about him, many people know that it is unnecessary. This is our secret."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch and got up immediately, "I drove off Grandpa Wang and asked for wine, so I said it was for my old man's bones. When they ask you, just shake your head and don't say, I'll be back before dinner."

Zhou Jiao hurriedly pulled him, "Bring something over, don't hold the door empty. They are rare for you to see."

"Haha, they have the rarest ones in our house. Do you have any special wines that grandpa sent me back? Give me a bottle, and I will bring some seafood and go directly. You can see if there are too many military coats."

Zhou Jiao stood up, took out a military coat from the closet, and handed him a bottle of wine. Zhang Guoqing wrapped the wine in the coat and walked out, came to the warehouse, took out a small bamboo basket, and stuffed it with three large yellow croakers and some small ones. Dried fish, carry it and walk outside.
