There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The family went into the living room.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Xiao Ping'an smiled and stroked his stomach.

Mother Zhang glared at him and said with a smile: "This is really stubborn, just like his dad. Now I know I'm hungry."

Zhang Guoqing asked curiously: "What's the matter? Last time Jiaojiao was not at home and didn't see him like this."

"Then you will be at home. Your mother told him in the morning that if you go home today, he will come out and wait all the time. It's getting dark soon, a bit eager." Father Zhang knows his grandson best.

Zhang Guoqing originally wanted to hug the child, see that he was wet, and smiled, "Daddy, let's change clothes before eating. Son, you have a snack first."

Zhou Jiao saw that they were all in, and took the baby to the kitchen.

"Mom, grandpa is amazing..."

Zhou Jiao was feeding the child, listening to him proudly showing off, and gradually revealed a bright smile, "Little talk! I can't wait at the door in the future, don't you know?"

Ping An nodded, "Mom, many people are looking for Dad, and they give me candy. An old grandfather praises me."

Zhang Guoqing followed his parents in, just heard it, looked at Father Zhang, and saw him nodding.He didn't ask, it's important that the family eat first.

After dinner, in the living room, Father Zhang proposed to go back to the village with his wife tomorrow.He hasn't gone back for a month, and the village doesn't know how.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoqing proposed to go back with him.

"Don't go back to the village in a hurry. The old man Liu who sold your house has been looking for you these days. I guess he is in a hurry. It just happened to be rainy, so you will rest at home these few days."

On the side, Mother Zhang nodded in agreement, "There are many people in the county looking for you. I can go back to the village with your father. When we go back, I just look at the backyard. I think it will be for nothing."

Father Zhang wanted to talk to his old son about some things in the village, but hesitated, he still thinks it's fine.Natural and man-made disasters, no one can help.On such a day, even he does not know how much he can harvest this year.

The family chatted for a few words and saw that the child was already sleepy, Zhang asked everyone to rest early, and let's talk about it tomorrow.

After returning to the room, Zhou Jiao washed her well and fell asleep quickly holding her son.She hasn't slept well these few days, but now she can finally lie on the kang comfortably, smiling even when she falls asleep.

Zhang Guoqing originally wanted to discuss with her what arrangements were next.At a glance, come on.

At noon the next day, Zhang Guoqing sent away Zhang's father and mother. Zhang Guoqing just wanted to visit Mr. Liu's house, but unexpectedly, the other party came alone in the rain.

Seeing Mr. Liu outside the door, Zhang Guoqing was shocked.This is what makes the old man impatient.He invited the old man in anxiously.

In the living room, Mr. Liu picked up the tea and took a sip, but he did not say anything.

Zhang Guoqing Yuguang looked at him, but didn't pay attention just now, but now I look closely and find that he is a lot thinner.It seems that everyone's life is difficult.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Liu took out a box from his bag and put it on the coffee table, motioning for the young couple to open it.

Neither Zhang Guoqing nor Zhou Jiao moved, but stared at the old man.This is not clear, they are not interested in opening.This box looks like a jewellery box. They don’t have too many at home.

"These are some things I bought from others when I was young. I plan to exchange food for you. You don't need fine grains, coarse grains will do.

Zhang Guoqing chuckled, "Master, even if I want to change, I have to have food. I don't look at your stuff, nor do you want your stuff. You just say how much you lack, and I will find a way to get it for you, so you can slow down."

Old man Liu smiled and shook his head, pointing at him, "Others don’t know about your couple, can I still understand? Only you in the county have the surplus rations. The provincial capital brings things here every day, and it’s even more impossible for your father Subsidy. You still have a hunting skill. Don't try to hide it from me, let's talk straight to the point. You must have gone to the capital, right? You won't be short of food when you go there. It's better to sell it all to me."

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, "Don’t believe me. I really don’t have any surplus food. How much is the supply? My godfather did bring things here, but that’s only enough for my son. He has two and a half boys in his family.

Old man Liu looked at him suspiciously, "Your kid really doesn't have any grain?"

"The only basement in this house can have food. If you don't believe me, how about taking you to see it? My parents just returned to the village, just want to see if there is any harvest in the backyard. I will let them go back in the rain if there is food?" Zhang Guoqing gave him a sideways look.

"Haha... you have a wide range of people, how about helping me this old man look at the provincial capital?"

Zhang Guoqing secretly scolded the old fox and kept talking about himself. Now is the purpose?

He smiled helplessly at Zhou Jiao, pointed his finger at her, and said with a wry smile: "Jiaojiao, you come and tell the old man. I said he doesn't believe me no matter how old he is."

Zhou Jiao patted him and said to Old Man Liu: "Old man, don't plan to have food in the provincial capital. This time we have also looked for food in private in the past, and originally wanted to raise some national food stamps. Now there is no one in the black market. Later, I found an acquaintance, and they told us to go back, saying that we would wait until the autumn harvest."

Old man Liu sighed disappointedly, "It seems that the provincial capital is not as good as ours."

Zhang Guoqing immediately moved forward upon hearing this, "Who has it in the county seat?"

Old man Liu stretched out his hand and slapped him on his forehead, "I didn't say who has it. Some are also scattered, you don't like it."

"Just talk about it."

Old man Liu hesitated, and whispered: "Hei Mazi has brown rice in his hands, but that person's heart is dark. It costs 80 cents a catty, and can only be ten catties at a time. Dried sweet potatoes are sold for one cent, which is also a maximum of ten catties.

Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao in surprise.How many times is this?

"Haha, are you scared about this? It will be more expensive if it rains. There should be some people selling it in the county town, but unfortunately it can't be bought without an acquaintance."

Three people whispered, one didn't pay attention, and Ping An took a small step forward, already trying to pick up the box.

"Son, don't move around." Zhang Guoqing quickly picked him up.

"It's okay, look. Anyway, it's someone else's again in a few days." Old man Liu waved indifferently to stop Zhou Jiao from stepping forward and stuffing the box.

"Dad, I like that bird."

Zhang Guoqing looked up and found that the child liked the box. He smiled and said, "Tomorrow Dad will carve many birds for you. This bird is not good, you see that the bird's eyes are broken."

Old man Liu snorted contemptuously, "I don't have the knowledge of your son. You can carve this phoenix? Return the bird? You are the bird! Don't look down on this box with ordinary materials, but the craftsmanship is first-rate, but unfortunately It's been scratched by someone who lacks the heart."

After speaking, he touched the box interface distressedly.Think about opening the box, taking out a pair of mutton jade bracelets and a piece of jade pendant, stuffing it into your arms, and passing the box to Ping An.

"Old man, don't listen to the child, just put it back." Zhang Guoqing quickly picked up the box from Ping An and returned it to the old man.

"It's not worth any money. Forget it, pretend to be gadgets for the kids. Okay, I'm going. You can help me see who has the way when you are free. Remember to keep it secret."

It's not a valuable thing anyway, Zhang Guoqing didn't say much.Give the box to Ping An, and personally send him out.However, he was a little strange in his heart as to how this child liked this broken bird.There is no shortage of phoenixes and Ssangyong play beads.
