There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Sending away Li Qinglin, Zhou Xiaozheng's second urgent telegram arrived again.

Zhang's mother finally picked an auspicious day for traveling.

Had a farewell banquet for relatives and friends.

The night before leaving, the couple brought gifts and visited the old principal in person.

The old principal's house is a poor house.This old man has sponsored poor students for many years. At this time, he was eating a throat-sucking wowtou and a plate of pickles.

"Why haven't you returned to the capital yet? Don't miss the registration time."

Seeing him get up, Zhang Guoqing hurriedly stopped him, "You should eat first. We will leave tomorrow. Before we leave, I want to say goodbye to you."

The old principal's wife is an elegant old lady who wears a cheongsam all year round, which means she has changed her dress in the past two years.At this moment, she asked her grandson to bring two glasses of warm water.

"Eat first and then talk. The young couple are not outsiders, so they don't need to be polite."

"Master said it well. Slowly eat and don't worry. We still want to sit down more. Are you gobbled up like this and don't want to keep guests?"

The old principal laughed and said, "You kid will make a fool of yourself, and everything is justified by you. This time you two will return to Beijing to study hard, strive to serve the country, make great achievements, and benefit the people. "

Zhang Guoqing waved his hand, "Don't be old for you. I'm a petty citizen and I just need to do my duty. Those goals are too high to climb. Just forgive me."

The old principal laughed and scolded: "It's not promising. I want to live a few more years to see what you will achieve in the future. Retiring before a fight is not your character."

"People who are drifting in the rivers and lakes will always be slashed. The weather is changeable, and it is better to be stable. If you are old, I really don't want to do anything big. I can keep the family safe, and my wish is enough."

The old principal laughed at them.

"You should have retired this year?"

The old principal finished the meal, returned to the chair, picked up the tea, and shook his head, "I still can't leave the school. I'm currently considering it."

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao looked at each other and laughed: "How can you give the other teachers a chance? Retire early, enjoy the family happiness, and accompany your mother to walk around."

The old principal looked at him suspiciously, then turned to ask Zhou Jiao, who was always smiling, "Do you agree with Xiao Wu's opinion?"

Zhou Jiao nodded, "I'm always with you. You are busy with work all day, and you should spend the rest of your life with your mother. It's good to be away from the world and enjoy your old age and watch the world's heat and cold."

The old principal shook his hand while holding the cup, and smiled at his wife beside him: "It seems that the two juniors are holding on to you. Tell me how to bribe their couple."

"Haha, warm water."

The old principal laughed, not every time the water was warm.

After talking about this topic, Zhang Guoqing and his wife began to sing and talk about interesting things.

After sitting for more than half an hour, Zhou Jiao secretly put down the present, stood up and left with Zhang Guoqing and them.

After they left, the old principal was silent with the tea, and no one knew what he thought.The only difference is that with the arrival of the new semester, the school never saw him again.

Early the next morning, Zhao Chuanguang drove to the county again.

Before getting into the car, Zhang Guoqing and his wife took a deep look-their parents, brothers and sisters, Zhao Dashan and Zuo Lin, who are also teachers and friends, and Zhao Yuanyuan with tears on their faces.

"Xiao Wu protects Jiaojiao outside, and the couple discuss things carefully and take care of the children."-This is Zhang's order.

"Remember to eat and dress warm outside, and go home early during the New Year. Mother is at home and wait for you to come back."-This is Mother Zhang's smile.

Many people's exhortations and laughter, they are deeply in mind.They really can't bear these relatives and friends who have given themselves kindness and care.Fortunately, they still have time to get together.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at his parents, endured the sadness, and solemnly said to the two brothers Zhang Guofu: "Eldest brother, second brother, father and mother, please. I have settled over there and you send them to the car."

"Relax! Our two brothers will take good care of parents. You go to school with peace of mind. I will write to you if I have something to do."

"My parents lost a hair, you beat me,

Zhang Guoqing smiled and said to everyone to take care, picked up the child, pulled Zhou Jiao, and got into the car.

The car gradually moved away, and he saw his mother covering her mouth with her hands in tears.His father stared at the direction he was leaving, and patted his mother on the shoulder.

Goodbye, my parents!We will meet soon.

After the car disappeared in front of them, Zhao Dashan comforted a few words and gradually left.

Seeing his wife return to the room, Zhang Dad waved his hand, "You all go back and let your mother stay alone. She's okay, she will want to go after a while. If you can't bear it, your mother wants a small five, we will go to Beijing to see them ."

Zhang Lao Er looked at the yard anxiously, "Father, we really don't need us to accompany you and my mother? Or let Xizi and the others stay?"

Father Zhang turned around and left, "You all go and do your own things, and come back later when you have time."

"Then let's go to work first, and come over at night. You call out if something happens."

Dad Zhang waved his hand, "Don't dare. It's too late to catch up with the time." After speaking, he closed the courtyard door.

Zhang Guofu smiled at everyone, "Let's go. It doesn't matter if the mother has a father. We will come to accompany them tonight."

Father Zhang came back to the house, oops, his wife was still wiping tears.

He rolled his eyes, "My child, the old son is not allowed to see the mystery, what do you say is hidden? How about we go and see?"

"Not in the mood. In two months, I have to see Xiao Wu."

Father Zhang touched her and smiled: "It won't take two months. As soon as his telegram arrives, let's go to the capital. How about walking the street with you? Let's go, I think there must be something good for us to discover. "

Mother Zhang followed his wife's strength, followed him to the kitchen and opened the lock.

As soon as she entered the basement, Mother Zhang immediately scolded: "Oh my God, this prodigal son!"

Father Zhang laughed, this is his wife, who is the woman who was crying just now?

At this time, three sacks, two large tanks, bacon, dried game, dried fish and other dry goods on the wooden shelves were piled in the basement.

Mother Zhang untied the rope and saw that it was full of vermicelli, and she knew it was vermicelli without looking at it.She looked into the tank in disbelief and unzipped the cloth bags inside, which were all white flour and corn flour.

Father Zhang opened the big tank and saw a wooden box on it. He took it out and clamped it under his arm. He stretched his head and looked inside. Without untying the bag, he guessed it must be rice and fine noodles.

The old couple looked around and found that they had everything except coarse grains.There are daily necessities like towels, soap, soap in a wooden box.

"Daddy, hurry...pack it and send it back to the capital. When did this prodigal kid hide so many things? Oh, I'm so mad at me, how much does it cost? How can we finish eating?"

Father Zhang smiled and shook his head, "You can't send it back, or the children are always thinking about us. Let me just say, the boss and the second child said that they are old-fashioned, and Xiao Wu is so obedient. It turns out that he hid one hand a long time ago. Mother, except for this. We know that no one should tell them."

"You can't believe your own son? What do you think."

Father Zhang looked around and shook his head, "It's not that I can't believe in my son, but my daughter-in-law is an outsider. Besides our Jiaojiao, who else is so caring? Since Xiao Wu doesn't tell the two brothers, let's not say, lest the three brothers have lumps in their hearts. Also, there are so many things here, tell my son, do you want to share it with them? My daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law can’t have enough food, will they think too much?”

Mother Zhang nodded, "I know what you mean."

"Haha... Let's hide one hand too. Look at what's inside? I guess it's money and tickets." Father Zhang handed the box to his wife and smiled.

"Go back to the room and look again. My knowing heart is still throbbing."

The old couple sneaked into their room and opened the box, which was full of piles of money of different denominations and a bundle of bills.

Dad Zhang roughly counted, at least five hundred yuan.He smiled wryly and shook his head.The young couple did this, which moved him but felt uneasy.He also missed the old son.
