There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Lin Xuezhen's unexpected letter did not cause any disturbance in Zhou Jiao's heart.

When she returned to the county courtyard, Zhou Jiao still sent her lover to work every day, accompanied her son, a cup of tea and a book.

The leisurely days just passed day by day.

In the middle of June, one weekend, the family had lunch in the restaurant and strolled home slowly.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I met Zhang Guoqiang, Zhang's second child who was riding a bicycle and giggling.

"Xiao Wu, I just went to your house, and when I saw that the door was locked, I thought you were going to the provincial city. Fortunately, I met you. I have something to do with you. You will come back to the village with me."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the pedestrians passing by, "Go to my house first."

After entering the yard, Zhang Lao Er hurriedly said, "Someone is here from home."

Zhang Guoqing looked at him suspiciously.

"Hey... Look at what I said. It's a clansman from outside the Guan. This time, two elders came and took the genealogy to find the patriarch in the village, saying that there are not many people in the Lao Zhang family and want to move to our village. The patriarch and the third grandfather They ask you to go back and discuss it."

Zhang Guoqing frowned slightly, "I'll talk in the room."

In the living room, Zhou Jiao poured a cup of tea to Zhang Guoqiang, took her son and sat down.

"Second brother, it's not my turn to participate in this matter. What did I say in the past? I finally got more land. Everyone is looking forward to filling their stomachs and having some surplus food. If the tribe moves here, there are more people and less land, so the villagers will agree?"

Zhang Lao Er listened and smiled, "You guessed it? The villagers didn't dare to speak in front of the patriarch, but they all murmured behind their backs. The patriarch and grandfather third asked me to find you, just to hear what you can do."

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Jiao and asked, "Did the other party say how many people are still in the ancestral land? Are they all moved over or part of them? They will handle the relocation of their household registration?"

"I don't know the details. I only heard that there are still a hundred households in Shan Province, and I didn't say whether they moved all or some of them."

Zhang Guoqing smiled at them and said: "These old foxes! I have calculated it with integrity, and I still have to pay."

Zhang Lao Er looked at him puzzled, "What's the situation, you can tell the second brother."

"Jiaojiao, talk about it."

Zhou Jiao looked at Zhang Lao Er’s questioning eyes and smiled: “How many in-laws are there in a hundred households? The daughter-in-law who married in, and the daughter-in-law who married out, don’t want them? Thousands of miles away, how can so many of them come here? It is for relief."

Seeing his second brother looking at him, Zhang Guoqing nodded and smiled: "The patriarch and the third grandfather will let you find me if they have guessed it. Otherwise, they will ask you about the household registration process first. You see, I am not in the village. How many elders are there in the Erlai village, can I use it?"

Zhang Lao Er quickly said: "Then don't go, I will say I can't find you."

Seeing him standing up and leaving in a hurry, Zhang Guoqing pulled him, "Don't worry. This can't be so hasty. You let me think about it again."

Zhang Lao Er quickly sat down and looked at him blankly.

"Who do they live and eat now?"

"Yesterday they found the patriarch as soon as they came over, and stopped directly at the patriarch's house. I don't know today."

Here Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao looked at each other.

"Let's go, let's see what happens first."

Zhou Jiao hugged her son and sent their two brothers out. Seeing Zhang Guoqing abandon the side three rounds and leave on his bicycle, she secretly laughed.Used so carefully?

Zhang Guoqing returned to the village, first to the old courtyard.Mother Zhang said that the three brothers, Father Zhang, are still at the patriarch's house.

He frowned slightly and followed Zhang Lao Er to the patriarch's house.

Standing outside the patriarch’s yard, Zhang Guoqing held Zhang Lao Er. After listening to the meeting, he went in and saw that a dozen or so old men gathered around two middle-aged men with patched clothes.

"Xiao Wu is here. Come and meet your two clan uncles. This is our family outside Guan..."

Zhang Guoqing didn't want to hear the old people say hello, he greeted all the elders, sat down beside Zhang Daddy with a smile, and glanced at the old captain.

"This is the most promising child in our clan. He is the youngest of Erfang. Isn't he energetic? What I just said was him..."

Zhang Guoqing listened to the old people showing off.

Just now he noticed the two grandparents sitting here.The other party has a natural face, without any restraint.Except for the patched clothes, he is in good spirits, not at all as if he was too hungry to eat and drink water.

Last month, his family came back from outside the customs. It's not that they haven't seen how the rural people are.Is that look like that?He sees that the other party's life is no worse than that of Zhangjiacun.

Listening to the other party talking about the two people coming here without money, they were hungry for days.

Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and smiled.

"Xiao Wu, your clan uncle said to move all the clan members over, what do you say?" Seeing Zhang Guoqing lowered his head and pretended to be dumb, he asked quickly.

Zhang Guoqing laughed happily, "Grandpa patriarch, what do you know about me as a dime? You always discuss with the big guy. My family is not in the village, so I won’t make any comments. The villagers know, don’t you? it is good."

The old patriarch was choked by him. He looked at everyone and found that everyone was silent. He said to the old captain: "The third one, what do you think? Give me an opinion."

Zhang Guoqing paid attention to the two clan uncles above, and as expected, the other side looked at everyone, and one of them dragged the other side.

He glanced at the old captain who was smoking dry smoke.Looking at the elders present, I found that except for one or two people, no one is a fool.

For a while, there was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.

Zhang Guoqing's Yu Guang glanced at the two uncles, and at this moment, the other's expression turned into a look of sadness and helplessness.He raised his eyebrows and looked at the old captain.

After smoking the dry cigarettes in his hand, the old team leader finally said, "I can't tell a way about this. In addition to our own family, there are many foreigners in the village. Besides, there are so many hundred households who come over there, and they will meet Agree? What do you eat and where to live when you come here? Or do you write a letter for them to take back, and see what the patriarch says, and then discuss it."

"Xiao Wu, do you think the boss over there will agree?"

Zhang Guoqing looked at the head of the patriarch with a headache, how could he pull it on his head again.

He shook his head decisively, "The local department will not agree, and we will not accept it. If they repeatedly ask to move to the northeast, it is most likely that they will be moved to the far north, which is currently under development and just lacks people."

"Then what do you say?"

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, knowing that the old man was talking nonsense, he was too lazy to speak.

Sure enough, the patriarch suggested to the other party to go back and communicate with the cadres in their village to discuss whether to move to the far north.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head secretly listening to the conversation in the room.

Seeing the old captain stood up, he was going to tell the village to get off work.

He hurriedly pulled off his second brother, stood up and smiled: "Grandpa San, I will go with you. Tomorrow morning I will go to the provincial capital with the leader for a meeting. I will go back to pack things first. Several elders, I will go back first."

The patriarch shouted: "What are you in a hurry? It doesn't matter what tomorrow is going to do when you go back tonight."

Zhang Guoqing smiled and shook his head: "Getting a salary is so easy. Before my second brother came over, I had to take the manuscript to the leader to check him, that is, I hurried over when you always ordered.

Tomorrow morning we will leave at five o'clock, this time at least one week in the past.You always talk to my father and they say the same.You two clan uncles stay a few more days, the nephew is rude."

After finishing speaking, he quickly followed the old captain out of the yard.

After sending away the old captain who had been squinting, Zhang Guoqing blanked his second wife, "What's so funny? Ouch... our father is so pitiful. After a few hours, I will find an excuse to let him come back."

"Everyone is shitting, it's pitiful to see them two."

"Second brother, you go back and think about the reason. Some people are not poorer than our village."

After speaking, Zhang Guoqing saw him with a pensive look, and he didn't bother to explain, and got on the car and quickly accelerated.
