There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Before Zhou Jiao sighed for a few minutes, the harsh telephone ringing "jingling bell" rang. Not long after she stood up and walked out of the room, she heard Aunt Chen from downstairs shouting to answer the phone.

If we say that we are entering a new era, besides the children gradually growing up, what else will Zhou Jiao feel?

That was her father Zhou Xiaozheng's promotion to the Standing Committee.

Even if her dad often joked that he was a dumb man in a meeting...

——But there are more and more acquaintances who cannot stop looking for her.

No, there have been several calls on a good weekend, and some of them are social entertainments that cannot be pushed away. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing is in front of her.

"The chief is looking for you."

Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickened her pace.She is tired of unfamiliar people talking about unnourishing topics on the phone, if not for the sake of her family's life...

Quit early on!

"Dad, it's me."

"Well, I'm going out in a minute, you can tell your mother to let her stay at home and stay with you when I come back."

Zhou Jiao frowned, "Secretary Chen wants to come and take the luggage?"

"In a hurry, there is a change of clothes in the car."

Hearing that, Zhou Jiao held the phone's right hand tightly and took a deep breath, "Okay, dad, take care of your body outside and wait for you to come back."

"Well, dad will bring you lotus seed powder in some time."

The other end of the phone was hung up, Zhou Jiao softly softened on the chair while listening to the beep.

In just a few words, their father and daughter have already exchanged the nature and place of this business trip.

Lotus powder?It's not just a Jiangnan specialty, Zhou Jiao brought a lot of it back to Jiangcheng last time. Zhou Xiaozheng also joked that Jiangcheng should be renamed Lianzicheng.

Putting the microphone in place, Zhou Jiao rubbed her face vigorously, exhaled, and clenched her fists out of the study.

Aunt Chen heard the movement and came out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands on her apron and dried her hands, "Jiaojiao, do you want to come back for dinner tonight?"

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head, "I'm down to the grassroots again."

"I knew I would not come back after the call. Do you have anything you want to eat tonight?"

Where did Zhou Jiao still worry about what kind of dishes, she randomly reported a dish name, and picked up the newspaper after a few perfunctory sentences.

Is it dangerous for her dad to go out?

She didn't worry about her father's safety. There were so many people guarding him, let alone his own good skills.

I'm afraid, Sijiucheng will not be peaceful again.

No wonder it is said that there are no real like-minded allies in this world, and can form alliances, why not for their own interests?

On business trip?It's okay to leave, stay far away, lest her dad be pulled into the whirlpool.

Thinking this way, Zhou Jiao felt relieved.She only needs to guard the door at home and wait quietly for her Lao Tzu to return safely. As for the ups and downs of other people, what do they do with her family?

If those people learn from Mr. Yi, where is the defeat and the destruction?

In this 1971, it hasn't been long before entering a new era, but it seems that there will be waves again.

"...I still go to the service station to see if there are pigskins. I said I wanted to eat pigskin jelly on May Day last night. If there are bones, do you want?"

Zhou Jiao woke up when she heard the words, and shook her head, "I'm too tired, you still don't rely on the children. Today is the weekend, everywhere is crowded and crowded."

"It's okay, with you at home, I happened to go out in the afternoon to see what new products are coming from the service station these days. Fortunately, it's in the compound, in the city..."

Zhou Jiao understood the unfinished meaning in Aunt Chen's words.

On the weekend, there is no busy traffic in the city, and there are crowds of people in various department stores, and the tweeters are constantly playing red songs in a loop.

In the past, there was also an interspersed announcement, new arrivals of *commodities, what to do on the first floor, *single purchase of *commodities, and *commodities without tickets...

Nowadays, everything is dominated by *, and naturally unrealistic sounds give way to the main melody.As a result, we can often see in the city that the sky is still dark and the shops have not yet opened, and there are long lines outside.

Sometimes there is nothing to sell in the store, and there are people who "unknown the truth" line up outside.After the store opened, it was known that there was nothing for sale, and people dispersed in a rush.

In addition to the shortage of supplies due to some reasons, the crowds that caused the crowds on weekends also increased the efforts to combat speculation on the black market.

Now everything is strictly checked, not only the grain and oil management is strict, but also the level of struggle is indispensable.

No, it's a quotation when you open your mouth, otherwise you won't be able to buy something when you queue up.Of course, you can't do all the shopping, or there will always be "good-hearted people" to ask you about your composition and work unit.

Zhou Jiao's heart is as clear as a mirror, so she usually doesn't go to the department store unless she has to.

"Fortunately, the prices of the things haven't increased." Aunt Chen pulled out the non-staple food supply book and ticket, with a fluke smile on her face, "Is there anything else to buy at home? I'll bring them back by the way."

Zhou Jiao shook her head with a funny smile, "If there are too many people in the line, you will come back first. I will go to the city in a few days to see. You will use it first."

There is one more word, she didn't say.It’s just that if you buy too much, it’s useless to store it, and you can’t put it in her space, it will easily deteriorate over time.

What is so good about this era?

That is, there is no inflation rate.Except for the types of tickets that were added later, the prices of daily necessities for ten years have remained stable.

For example, to buy a fried dough stick in the morning, you only need three cents plus half a two food coupons, a sesame cake is four cents plus one or two food coupons, and a piece of tofu is two cents plus one tofu coupon.

To buy rice at the Grain Management Office, early rice costs 3-4 cents a catty, but late rice is more expensive.Of course, the ups and downs of supply have changed.

Aunt Chen waved her hand and smiled, "Okay, I know, I can't get tired of lining up, and I can listen to what those people are saying. Our house is lovely on June 15th."

Zhou Jiao burst out laughing when she heard this.Even Aunt Chen was broken by the children!

"I'm leaving, don't read the newspaper if you are okay, go upstairs and rest."

"Okay, be careful. If an old sister is looking for you to chat, you can play a little longer and I will prepare dinner."

Aunt Chen waved her hand and walked out quickly with the basket on her back.Prepare for her?Forget it, the oil in the house has been blighted by this girl again.

"It's the service agency? Let's go together."

Not far after branching off from a gate, a lean middle-aged woman who also carried a basket waved to her face.

Aunt Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of impatience, and then she looked at the other person approaching and smiled: "Ah, it just so happens, what is the eldest girl buying?"

The other party looked behind him, lowered his shoulders, and whispered weakly, "It's not that the young masters and the ladies want meat, vegetables and soda. You tell me, it's not early in the morning, where is there any meat now."

Aunt Chen couldn't answer this.As a nanny and aunt, I should serve the chief's house. Otherwise, why do people ask you to come over every month?There is room for rebirth in the fifties
