There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

As the days passed, as Zhang's father and mother were stationed in the village, the county courtyard returned to calm.

After a period of review, Zhang Guoqing and his wife ushered in their first exam in the world.

Last night, a heavy snow covered three snowmen in the yard. At this moment, Zhang Guoqing carefully cleaned out the prototype.These three piles of snowmen were the works accumulated by him and Zhou Jiao during the whole afternoon.

There was a knock on the door in the yard, as well as Zhao Yuanyuan's loud yelling voice.

Zhang Guoqing looked at the time and rolled his eyes to the sky-this girl is dependent on his family, dependent on his wife and son.What girlfriends, what to talk about girls' privacy, I hate it the most!

"Stop shouting, come in quickly. It's early to get to school. Why do you say you get up so early?"

Zhao Yuanyuan glanced at him and walked quickly to the main room.As he walked, he said, "My mother asked me to remind you to remember to take the food to the food station tomorrow. Don't forget it like the last time. Why are you so stupid? You can forget to get the food every month? And remember to order the half catty of Ping An's milk? Just give Jiaojiao to drink. Remember not to give it to others."

"Mother..." Zhang Guoqing whispered when she saw her entering the living room.

He really forgot the first time he took the ration, thanks to the neighborhood committee Wang Aunt for reminding him.

With the food book, he and Zhou Jiao’s ration of 28 kilograms each, plus the son’s seven kilograms of ration, would not make up 70 kilograms.Not to mention that, apart from three catties of white flour and one catty of rice, the rest is half-finished corn and dried sweet potatoes.If you buy it from a grain store, you have to go to a grain processing point for processing.

It's a pity that his elder brother's grain shop is not in this neighborhood.Last time he braved the wind and snow for more than six hours, and his whole body was frozen.This month, he had negotiated with his neighbors to buy together.

"The milk has already been ordered. Why are you here so early? Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Jiao heard Zhao Yuanyuan's voice when she came out.This loud voice is even used to Ping An now.

"I haven't eaten yet. I'll let Auntie Fen cook less. Later Qinglin and the others will bring the buns over." After that, Zhao Yuanyuan hurried to the kitchen.

Aunt Fen in her mouth is Zhao Dashan's cousin far away.The kind that meets in eight lifetimes.

The other party lost her husband when she was young, and brought up a posthumous child.Now his son is in college with Zhao Hongjun in the provincial capital, leaving her alone in her hometown.

This time Zhao Dashan went back to his hometown in the neighboring province to see her parents. He suddenly remembered that her son was in the provincial capital. After talking with her, he brought her to Zhang Guoqing's house to help.

It was said that she was Zhou Xiaozheng's cousin who came to take care of the child.Discuss privately to help in the short term. If appropriate, wait until the end of the year for her son to come to the county for vacation before deciding to stay.If there is no accident, before her son works, she will take care of Zhang Guoqing's family of three until they return to Beijing.

Now she has been here for a week, and Zhou Jiao is still quite satisfied with her.The other party does things clean and tidy, the most important thing is winks and a tight tone.

She and Zhang Guoqing have already discussed with Zhao Dashan, not mentioning the salary, they will give her a hard bill a year.The relative Aunt Fang also likes it here, with a separate room, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.What's more, Zhao Dashan has said that her son can live here during winter and summer vacations.She can also visit her son in the provincial capital for two days a month.

Aunt Fang came out of the kitchen and said, "Okay, I heard it. The white noodles they brought last time have not been used up. Next time, let them not buy it outside, and I want to eat it."

During these two weekends, Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao worked with Zhao Yuanyuan to stay in the small courtyard on the pretext of improving their lives and improving their grades.Zhang Guoqing and the two were just as they pleased, anyway, they brought their own rice and vegetables, and couldn't drive them away.

Less than half an hour later, Li Qinglin and the two ran in and rushed to the yard crying to death.He laughed when he saw the snowman in the yard.When I got interested, I threw the bun in my hand to Aunt Fang, not afraid of freezing, and Zhao Yuanyuan and the three ran to the warehouse and took out the shovel and iron tree and began to build snowmen.

"Don't play, eat and go to school. Time is running out." Aunt Fang made the porridge to see that the buns were almost cold, so she ran to the yard and shouted.

Had breakfast,

The county high school is less than ten minutes away from the small courtyard across the road.Zhang Yuntao blinked at Li Qinglin on the road, and the two laughed from time to time.

Before the group arrived at the school gate, they saw the students who had gone to high school in the past gather at the gate.

As soon as they saw Zhang Guoqing and the others, everyone surrounded them.

Zhang Guoqing said with a smile: "Are you watching the fun, or do you welcome us back to school?"

"Xiao Wu, your young couple is really not interesting enough, and it's not early to go back to school. There are also forests and covers, and we ran early in the morning without taking us. You all be careful!"

"Little brother, you will be our junior brother. You have to talk about your feelings at the moment."

"Yes, just talk about it. Brother shouting, listen."

"I don't have any thoughts, brother wants to enter the classroom early. Are you not cold?" Zhang Guoqing watched as everyone trembled. Where did the energy come from?

"I'm freezing to death. If you don't want to see if you really come to school, I won't come out if you kill me." A classmate pulled Zhang Guoqing into it.

A short male classmate couldn't squeeze in and shouted anxiously, "Don't go to the wrong place, remember that the principal said to look for him first."

"Haha... I'll talk to the old place first."

A girl in a black cotton-padded jacket ran ahead and shouted, "Jiaojiao, Yuanyuan, come into the classroom. Our head teacher and principal are waiting for everyone to come in. Hurry up."

Zhao Yuanyuan dragged Zhou Jiao forward and shouted, "Miao Miao, is it time?"

Ding Qingmiao ran out of breath, pointed his finger to the classroom behind, and slowly said, "The principal is waiting for them. Hurry up."

Zhou Jiao finally stood firm, turned to look at Zhang Guoqing, and it was logical that the two of them should go to the teacher in the first grade of high school.

"See the principal first and then see the teacher." Zhang Guoqing estimated that he had visited the old principal a few days ago and mentioned the skipping exam, and he arranged the exam in the original class.

"Good principal, good teacher." As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw the old principal and they were waiting at the door.

The old principal looked at Zhang Guoqing and the two with a smile, and said, "Have you decided?"

Zhang Guoqing knew he was talking about skipping a grade, and nodded seriously.

"The first two positions on the podium are for you to prepare. You will take the exam in these two days. Strive for a one-time pass. The exam time has been agreed with the invigilator. I am waiting for your good news."

The old principal finished speaking and walked out with a smile on his back.He will save today for the results.He wanted to see how much surprise the two children gave him.

The two days of examinations finally passed, and the second and sixth grades of high school and high school were done all at once. There was no problem for Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao.

After finishing the exam, Zhou Jiao began to prepare gifts and pack her luggage.When I went to the capital this time, there was Father Zhang and the others in the yard of the village, and I left it to Aunt Fang and her son here.

Everything that can be arranged has been arranged.The family will have to wait for the first month to come back again, for which she still needs to prepare a New Year's gift.

Except for the Cheng family in the capital, the old lady of Zhoujia Village and the grandson of the old patriarch must first deal with them in these two days.Her dad has already sent two telegrams asking her when to leave?In the provincial capital, Zhao Chuanguang and his wife sent things over in two days, urging them to go to his house for a few days earlier.

"The snow is so big, you don't need to go to the village. I will go back to the village in the afternoon and say okay with my parents, and then go to Zhoujiacun to send the New Year gift." Zhang Guoqing came in and saw her holding her sheepskin coat for going out and quickly stopped.

Zhou Jiao hesitated for a while, and shook her head, "I still have to go in person. Zhoujiacun, you go over there, I have no plans to go there. I have to go there for my parents. I have to go there for at least a few months. I have to talk to my parents. We are not at home and let them visit the county from time to time. We go early and come back early."

"No, Dad asked the eldest brother to bring us a message, saying that he would come with my mother before we leave, so we don't want to go back. I don't worry about our village yard. Go back and have a look, and give a New Year gift by the way."

It would be better not to go back. Who would like to go back and forth in a snowy day? Zhou Jiao handed him a gift, watched him go in a carriage, went back to the room and took out a piece of paper to see that he could indeed leave in three days.

Zhang Guoqing came and went fast and came back in less than two hours.

"Father told me not to send it there first, and make arrangements for him. Let us less contact the old Zhou family. As soon as I send it over, they will be in trouble when they turn their heads back. The old patriarch said he would send it there himself."

Zhou Jiao nodded, it is best to have parents-in-laws.They are better at understanding the world than her.

On the day of departure, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother brought a gift to Zhou Xiaozheng and returned to the county one night in advance.

Early in the morning, Zhao Chuanguang and his wife came with them in a brand-new car and military vehicle.

Zhou Jiao laughed dumbfounded as she watched her godmother take out four or five warm water bags and a hand stove from the carriage.

For the children, Zhang Guoqing and her parents-in-law prepared all the heating supplies at home.This will be fine, put it all in, everyone has no place.

Zhang Guoqing opened his coat and put his son on his chest.Sitting in the car, feeling the temperature adapt, he gently opened a corner to watch his son fall asleep, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry! God's daddy is ready for a long time. Let's keep you warm and warm all the way to the capital. Your dad has made a lot of bad ideas on the phone these days. Don't think your dad is smart, but this is not as good as your goddad and me. ." Zhao Chuanguang laughed as he finished speaking.His brother is always whimsical.

"Godmother, did you owe an adult to your goddaddy this time? Thank you for having your goddaddy." Zhou Jiao said goodbye to Zhang's father and mother.

"Don't be polite with godmother. Family, you go in quickly. We are leaving. We will send them on the train tomorrow. Don't worry. All arrangements are made. When they arrive in the capital, they will telegram back."

"Close the windows and wait for the heat to run away. I won't keep you. Be careful on the road. Xiaowu remember not to fall asleep on the train and be careful of the children."

As the car drove away, I saw Father Zhang and the others at the gate from a distance.

Zhang Guoqing looked around uneasy, and soon no longer saw them.We will have to wait until the end of the first month of next year to see them again.I don't know if they will continue to work, or if he is not at home, will he be bullied?If the son wants to be raised but the relatives do not wait, the parents' life has to be arranged.

Zhou Jiao patted his hand and smiled slightly at him.It has been 58 years since the Chinese New Year, and the newspapers have published new editorials a few days ago.

The wheel of history begins to turn.This year, a large number of units will recruit rural temporary workers.A large number of rural household registrations entered the cities and towns, and then two to three years began to streamline the urban population, returning these people to the countryside.

She estimated that the work of the two sister-in-laws did not need her and Zhang Guoqing's help, and they were able to handle it well.Then the Zhang family boss and second child will move to the county seat, and the father and mother Zhang will follow the boss back to the county seat.

The problem that Zhang Guoqing worried about was overcome.As for the sister-in-laws who lost their jobs in a few years with the streamlining of urban household registration, that is the future.Besides, what to do with her?
