There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 855: Staying in the Provincial City

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is different from going to the market during the day to buy New Year's goods. The car goes all the way along the direction of the provincial capital. The later the sky is, the fewer pedestrians and cars on the road.

There are the most precious wives and sons in his life in the car. Zhang Guoqing did not dare to be careless and did not dare to accelerate along the way.He was usually stunned by him, but now he has to guard against it.

When he arrived at the courtyard of Zhao Chuanguang, the provincial capital, the three brothers, who were wrapped in a quilt in the back seat and covered the glass bottle of a hot water bottle, were already staring and drowsy in the embrace of Zhou Jiao and Aunt Chen.

As soon as the car stopped, Ping An immediately opened his eyes, looked at one or two figures at the door, and shouted: "June 1st, May 1st, it's here, look, grandma is there."

"Grandma, we are back."

"Grandma, where is my grandpa? I want to go home."

Miao Lishan had already stepped forward and opened the car door, "Okay, go home. Good deeds, hurry up and go with your grandmother. Is my hometown fun? Did you miss grandma last night?"

Zhou Jiao looked at the four grandparents who were holding each other silly.It's really a generational relative, why didn't she see her mother being so enthusiastic about her?

On the side, Huang Huimin greeted everyone to go in first and wanted to help Zhang Guoqing move things, but he was so frightened that he quickly refused.How can she use just two or three packages?

As soon as he entered the living room, Zhang Guoqing smelled the scent of stewed chicken and said with a smile: "Uncle comes in, the chicken is broken. Godmother, you are grand enough."

"I've only come back in two years. It won't work if it's not solemn." Huang Huimin teased, "I went to buy two old hens with your mother in the morning, and I will wait for you to come."

"Jiaojiao, there will be a big market in the nearest village tomorrow morning. Godmother will take you to buy good things."

Zhou Jiao looked at Miao Lishan after hearing the words. Has the schedule changed?

"Your godmother will keep you for a few more days."

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head, "I also want to stay a few more days, but it's a pity that the holidays are coming. When I save more for the holidays next time, I will come and play with you for a few more days."

"Sister-in-law doesn't know if I can't leave tonight, right?"

After Huang Huimin finished speaking, she looked at Miao Lishan with a blank face, and smiled, "Didn't a little soldier come over just now? People said A Guang asked us to rest first. You won't be able to go for a while. You may have to change the train tomorrow. "

"Just now when you came over, your mother hurried to your place. The little soldier left after speaking. I heard that there is still a meeting there. Your dad shouldn't have time to inform you."

Zhou Jiao nodded.Military trains are faster than ordinary trains, and she and Zhang Guoqing have already agreed with colleagues that they will be on duty these days, so there is no need to rush back this time.

Just after dinner, Secretary Chen was ordered by Zhou Xiaozheng to take Zhang Guoqing to the military area, and at the same time took the family to the guest house to rest.

Now that he knew that he couldn't leave tonight, Zhou Jiao settled down and the children fell asleep after washing.It was a good dream, and I don’t even know when Zhang Guoqing and Weng will return.

In the early morning of the next day, a little white fish had just appeared on the horizon, and Huang Huimin had come to knock on the door of the room.Seeing Zhou Jiao's mother and daughter ready to go, they smiled knowingly.

Of course, three little darlings have to join in the fun when going out to shop in the bazaar to buy new year goods.

Except for Zhou Xiaozheng, who was busy with official duties, leaving, the family went to the countryside to catch the big fair.Walking on the dirt road stalls with people coming and going, the New Year's celebration is reflected in the loud noise.

The old farmers who ate cornmeal wotou big pancakes, drank glutinous rice porridge and pickled vegetables had a rare harvest year, and they did not hesitate to prepare for the new year.

Pears and persimmons frozen into iron bumps, melon seeds and pine nuts on roasted seeds and nuts stalls, popcorn on both sides of the road, candied haws on sorghum sticks...

Home-made cloth, straw shoes, baskets and dustpans that do not require cloth tickets, dried wild fruits for autumn harvest, dried mushrooms and fungus, and occasional game stalls...

Regardless of the buyer or the seller, a paper face blushed by the north wind is full of joy and satisfaction with today's life.

Huang Huimin and Miao Lishan squeezed into each stall early, and it didn't take long for them to carry a lot of miscellaneous items on their baskets.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jiao pushed Aunt Chen, who was taking care of the children, to join in the fun.Unlike them, my husband and I don’t have to rush to shop now.

Zhang Guoqing unbuttoned the buttons of his army coat to cover the twins in his arms, and Zhou Jiao, who was the same as him, also tied his arms safely with a band.A family of five left the three of them, and first took the children for a "market tour".

This time, the couple took out all kinds of gross bills and coins with a sense of understanding to guide the children to understand the purchasing power.Especially twins are their focus.

To integrate into life, we must first understand prices.I bought five maltose with a penny; bought three bunches of candied haws with five cents; bought a large bag of pine nuts with a dime...

As time went by, the twins gradually became familiar with bargaining with others, playing the game of buying a dime and giving a cent.In the end, they fluently report the price and other exchanges.

The results are very gratifying, but how to say the results, some people laugh.

——After exiting the crowd, Zhang Guoqing had just finished boasting his three sons’ arithmetic talents, and the youngest May 1 asked first: “Dad, how do you say our family sends out a bag of gifts, and they also give a bag of gifts?”

Children’s Day followed closely, “A box of preserves can buy ten catties of pine nuts, and two catties of white rabbits can buy half a sack of mushrooms.”

May 1 frowned, "It doesn't count as respecting grandma and grandpa. A wild boar must be divided into uncle and uncle half. You can buy a lot of sack gifts."

Xiao Ping An in Zhou Jiao's arms looked at her two younger brothers triumphantly, smiling without saying a word.

Zhang Guoqing smiled happily, "Smelly boy! Relatives are not counted like that. For example, do your aunts make new clothes for you by themselves? Did the brothers Xizi pick up mountain products and give them to you?"

On June 1st and May 1st, they nodded.

"In addition to money, relatives also have intentions. These are family affections that money can't buy. When you grow up, you will understand that nothing can compare to sincere intentions."

While waiting for Miao Lishan and others on the way, Zhang Guoqing gave examples of many acts of solidarity and friendship among the people of the tribe, and talked about the past years between the three houses of the old Zhang family.

Such a beautiful relationship of mutual help, maybe the twins still can't tell how much water there is, but it doesn't mean that people are safe and don't understand.

He shrugged his nose at Zhou Jiao and made a face.

Zhou Jiao smiled and patted his ass.Many things have two sides. Similarly, there are no absolute good and bad people in this world. There are only human hearts.

Miao Lishan likes to make rounds as always.Too much cargo is not good, so the group ran to the city to send a package.Spent lunch in the city and let the children play again.

After a few siren sounds, the twins who had gone out for the first time were taken away, and the first time they knew their hometown was also taken away.

Whether you kiss your hometown water or not, how long do you not stay in this black land, how can you make them feel like they belong?The feelings between people are all deep and deep after getting along for a long time.

Everything depends on the future.
