There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

"Jiao girl, what good stuff did your mother-in-law send over?"

Zhou Jiao moved slowly carrying the package, and met an old lady in the courtyard.

The other party smiled and looked at the old lady curiously. She smiled and said: "The letter a few days ago mentioned that it was a child's clothing. I haven't opened it yet. Aunt, are you going to the street?"

"No, my second daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy in the early morning. You will have to rush over to see the baby."

"Oh, that's a happy event. This child was born on a coincidental date. I rushed out to spend New Year's Eve with you. I must be a filial child in the future."

The aunt laughed loudly, "The sweet girl is just good at talking, I ask you to say good things, and wait for the child's full moon to invite you to eat noodles."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded.

"Can you carry it? Why didn't you ask your aunt to help? Do you want me to carry it back for you?"

Zhou Jiao hurriedly stopped, "It's just such a small bag, it's no use to help. Auntie, go see the little baby, now the child will be waiting for you, grandma."

Seeing this, the aunty smiled and shook her hand, and hurriedly left.

Zhou Jiao watched her leave, and dealt with a few passing acquaintances, and hurriedly hurried back home.

These people are very enthusiastic, with some raw faces, and she doesn't have much contact. If it were not for her good memory, she would really not recognize whose family members they were.

If Zhang Guoqing hadn't been taken by her father to meet the world, Zhou Jiao would not go out of the house.This is about to be New Year's Eve, not too many people come and go.

When I got home, there was no one at home, and even Ping An was taken to Wen's house by Mrs. Cheng, and Aunt Chen ran out of the compound with a bill to shop in the early morning.

Busy, everyone is busy. Zhou Jiao feels that she won't move anymore. The old house is probably close to retreat at home.

Cut the package, inside is a set of safe cotton-padded clothes and trousers, Zhang Guoqing's set of sweater and trousers, and the rest are fur collars, leather gloves and a lot of thick socks.

Zhou Jiao knew that Ping An's clothes were a gift from the pregnant woman Lin Juhua.Really deliberate, for three consecutive years, I don't know where the cotton came from.

A set of sweaters and pants created by Zhang's mother, which Zhou Jiao had seen before.The remaining fur items should be a gift from Huang Cuilan.

Mother Zhang is a caring person. Last time I heard Zhang Guoqing mentioned that being a soldier is very hard. Every day I exercise, I wear several holes in my socks.This dozen thick socks must have been prepared by her mother-in-law.

Zhou Jiao shook her head and smiled.

A few days ago, the two sisters Zhang Meili had already sent a lot of things. This would add to the in-law’s family, and I don’t know if the new year gift they sent back would be too thin.

After noon, Zhou Jiao slept and woke up, Aunt Chen was already busy in the kitchen.

"Aunty, when did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "I'm calling you why. I bought everything and put it in the living room, and you can see what else is unprepared. You can take a look before I get home."

Zhou Jiao nodded.Seeing that Aunt Chen was busy preparing dinner, she didn't stay much.If you just keep her busy, hurry up and go home for the New Year.

This year's New Year atmosphere is different from previous years.If it weren't for the couplets, red lanterns, and the occasional sound of firecrackers in the compound, Zhou Jiao would have forgotten that tomorrow was the New Year's Eve.

Back in the day, there was a burst of fragrance from every household, but it was a pity that everything no longer existed.

In the evening, Zhou Xiaozheng returned with Zhang Guoqing, and then went home peacefully and happily with a bag of red envelopes, finally adding a bit of joy to the deserted New Year.

At the dinner table, the whole family gathered together to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner in advance.Every New Year's Eve cannot be kept together, and now the family is also accustomed to the customs.

Zhou Xiaozheng took a few bites of food and placed it on Zhou Jiao's bowl. "You are welcome in the cafeteria tomorrow night. Dad is not by your side. Remember to follow your aunt."

Lin Lishan smiled and said: "If you let them be with my aunt, aren't they all old people on the table. Let's just stay with the young people. If you are hungry, go home and burn it yourself."

It is rare for Zhou Jiao to see her dad being hit, and she smiled: "Isn't there a cousin and aunts, let's talk about the situation when the time comes. This is the first time in this collective year, and some are chaotic."

Zhang Guoqing smirked,

"Well, I'm still the same as in previous years. I don't go to join in the fun with other groups and bring some people down to the grassroots."

Regarding Lin Lishan's work, the family has no opinion.After so many years, no one knows what process should be better than I.

Zhang Guoqing suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "This Chinese New Year is very fun. Some time ago someone suggested not to feudal superstition during the Spring Festival, but does the couplet peach symbol count? It is recommended not to be extravagant, but the city is waiting for the rich and powerful powder meat tomorrow night. Put dumplings on the table; let everyone not wander around, but the temple fair starts again on the first day of the new year; don’t drink before the class, just want to get drunk now, and there is no alcohol in the world. These words are discussed privately by many people, and everyone keeps posting Complaining, but no one dared to put it on the bright side, and had to applaud happily."

Zhou Xiaozheng sneered and shook his head.

Zhou Jiao also smiled and shook her head, "You don't know if you are not at home. Some of Qianer's classmates called to say that this year's collective year is the most meaningful, and she kept showing off to me."

Lin Lishan looked at her bewilderedly, "Your classmate can actually make a phone call, indicating that his family is pretty good, but there is no need to blow to you. Does she know where we live? You're stupid!"

The whole family was amused by her words.

Zhang Guoqing explained to her on the side: "That classmate's house should be a building with one phone. She probably thinks we are similar to hers."

Zhou Jiao nodded her head when she heard it, "We have never brought our classmates home, and we rarely talk about housework outside. Our classmates only know that our parents are soldiers."

This is in line with what his daughter did, Zhou Xiaozheng smiled clearly.

However, this classmate is indeed a nerd-even admitted to a prestigious university, IQ is not necessarily high.No wonder her Jiaojiao never loves to interact with these people too much.

Zhou Jiao originally wanted to tell everyone what the other party had made that day, but when her mother said so, she lost interest.There is indeed a gap between the compound and the outside world, especially her own conditions. No wonder her mother has such a big tone.

What is a "collective year"?Her mother didn't understand, she had never lived outside, and the army was actually a big group, she ignored the essence.

The compound has its own set of supply and demand system, and there is an auditorium for watching movies, and they rely on their parents’ work and street invoices to go to the cinema.

In a collective year, the rights of neighborhood committees are overwhelming, except for uniform invoices and purchase books, such as organizing cleaning and organizing entertainment fairs.There are too many operable articles.
