There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Guoqing and his wife got up early, had breakfast, and accompanied Zhang's father and mother in the carriage to Zhangjiacun with their luggage.

After visiting Zhao Dashan and Zuo Lin last night, the couple planned to stay for a few days, bring some game to the provincial capital, and they will set off back to Beijing after seeing Zhao Chuanguang.

The Zhangjiacun yard was cleared by two people last time.I thought that after a long time, the house must be dusty, and the couple planned to clean up.

Unexpectedly, let alone the bedroom, even the backyard was taken care of by Zhang's father and mother.Neither of them knew what to say.I didn't come back to worry about my parents. I wanted to be filial to my parents, but I didn't expect them to suffer.

Putting on two quilts, pressing a big pot, and seeing that everything is done, Zhang Guoqing took advantage of the working hours and took the package to the production team office.

No matter how the Maodong slack, there is still a lot of work in the team.For example, picking seeds, picking up cow dung, weaving wicker baskets, rubbing hemp rope, not to mention some people have to go out to work.

In addition to the farm work that needs to go out, the women in the production team’s yard are busy picking seeds on a hot-burning south and north kang.

Picking seeds is the most leisurely job in the team.There are not many ready-made seeds to sell. Every year, the old captain asks the village women to pick out the dry and moldy seeds inside, and keep them good for planting in the spring of the following year.

Even though the women are holding homework on their lips, and the parents are short, no one dare to leave their hands and work.These seeds will be planted next year to raise seedlings, which can be related to rations, and no one dares to be careless.

Picking seeds is a joyous activity that everyone is willing to participate in, especially peanut kernels, beans, etc. This is beautiful for people who can't eat enough, and the temptation is still quite big.

The old captain arranged his work and went to the house to take a look. He saw that these old ladies were not doing anything wrong. He, an old man, couldn't stay in the house. He specially asked the female director Ye Ye to stare at him. He was worried that someone would sneak the sheep and bring the seeds home. .

When he got out of the house, he began to pace again to the rear row of pig farms. Seeing that the pigs and chickens inside were rising well, he laughed happily—it was not useless to serve these ancestors.

When Zhang Guoqing came to the brigade office with a large bag of old clothes, the old captain happened to be standing at the door.As soon as he learned that the kid had returned to the village, he knew he would definitely come to see him, and he did not misunderstand him.

The old captain looked at him with a smile."What are you doing with big bags? Are you okay outside? How long will you stay here this time?"

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, "It's all the old clothes I'm coming to, you always watch and deal with it. This time the child did not come back, we will go back in two or three days."

The old captain smiled with relief, "I'll give the children a bit later. You didn't shame your old man by doing this, right?"

"My father-in-law is not that person, and he himself has always supported those old comrades in arms."

The old captain said as he walked, "He's a man. It's affectionate and righteous, but it's a pity... Remember to follow him and learn more, even if two or three Chengdu is enough for your life."

Zhang Guoqing has heard the old captain's advice for the second time.He didn't ask what it was a pity, he smiled and nodded.

The old captain stood up and walked out of the yard, pointing to the white fields outside, "I have been out for so long, do you remember going to the ground in previous years?"

Zhang Guoqing understood what he meant, "Remember. This is my root. No matter how long I am outside, I will not forget that I am a farmer."

"Oh...I remember no matter where you go in the future, don't learn from those bullshit guys. The descendants of our old Zhang family can't let the underground ancestors lie down, let alone do things that make people spine bones."

After the old captain finished speaking, he did not expect him to respond. He continued with a grief and indignant tone, "Not long after you went to the capital, the village was forcibly taken away by those bully guys. They falsely preached the imperial decree that it was the document that was posted on it, who I’m not allowed to hide food. I’m too old and can’t manage so much, but those bad boys are so annoying. They searched your little yard and were awakened by a few people. It was your house that ran away. Xiao Wu, to After you meet these people, don't pay attention to them, these are the villains who see the wind.

Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, knowing in his heart that these things are not easy to stop him at home, but there are some things he can't talk to the old man too much.He changed the subject and chatted about other things.

"Xiao Wu is back. Has your daughter-in-law and son come back? Your parents are looking forward to your return every day. How many days are you going to stay this time?" Uncle Zhang came to the team and saw his nephew grinning and chatting with the old captain what.

When Zhang Guoqing saw him, he smiled and nodded, "The kid didn't come back with us this time. He will go back in a few days. How was your uncle?"

"What's so good, this year is not easy. Have you come back this time to see those people who fled the famine? I will be writing to you if you don't come back."

The old captain shook his hand to stop his request that he wanted to speak, "Don't talk about that. This kid is a caring person, and he won't be able to deal with problems. It's not time yet. If the village is going through it again, it is really impossible to talk about it until then. "

Uncle Zhang nodded happily.He also didn't want his nephew to suffer, but whoever made him the most promising child in the old Zhang family would always do something for the tribe, and sometimes he was forced to be consciously forced to appear more humane.

Zhang Guoqing didn't know his uncle's thoughts. He came back this time to hear a lot of gossip, and he had already planned it in his heart.It's just that the time hasn't arrived yet!

"Fortunately, you found a dense forest, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to want to be full. Unfortunately now, even the beasts have learned their skills and run deep in the mountains. It is too dangerous there, and I dare not let the villagers go in. These days. Go ahead and think about it if you can't wait."

Zhang Guoqing listened to the old captain talking to himself, and he didn't have any trouble to speak up.Who doesn't want to die without reaching a desperate situation?Even if the old captain wants them to go deep into the mountains, no one may be happy.

"Uncle San, are the pigs in the team handed in earlier? There are a lot of chewing on this day."

After listening to Uncle Zhang’s words, the old captain hesitated for a while, and finally said his plan, "Wait, see what other villages do. There are a few villages that don’t even have pig hair. There should be a new policy in the township, so early What are you doing."

Zhang Guoqing took aim at the two after hearing this.It seems that the village is not bad, at least there are pigs to keep alive.Then, should he give them the rice and bran?He didn't care about things, so he was afraid that they would naturally speak again in the future.But if you don't give it to them this time, the things will easily deteriorate and you can only take them away first.

Alas...It's really a dilemma!

The three chatted a few more words, and Zhang Guoqing left with an excuse.

At noon in the village canteen, one bowl per head is arranged.Zhou Jiao was fortunate enough to get a bowl of porridge with chopped cabbage clappers and a little dried sweet potato, plus a loose dumpling of wild vegetables.

That's the reason the ladies in the village deliberately gave the thick bottom to the couple Zhang Guoqing, and the vegetable dumplings were also the biggest pick.

Zhou Jiao somewhat understood why Xizi's children didn't follow them back to the village.

The kindness is hard to be but, Zhou Jiao thanked the ladies and ate a loving meal with a deep nostalgia. The food is not much worse than the school.
