There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

As 1972 and 1973 passed slowly, Zhou Jiao was promoted to a higher level without any accidents. She had married nephews and nephews, so naturally she couldn't escape the birth of her nephews and grandchildren.

In the past two years, she has been going to her hometown to attend gifts non-stop. After Mai Miao got married, her left and right brothers and Zi Wu also got married one after another.

And her family has never had the opportunity to return to their hometown. Firstly, it is inconvenient to ask for leave, and secondly, there are already turmoil everywhere, and the pressure on the Zhou family can be imagined.

All this made Zhou Jiao dare not leave home easily.

Outsiders jokingly called Zhou Xiaozheng ever young. Apart from teasing him for being still young after 50 years old, it also meant that he was neutral and stable as Mount Tai.

But who would know how much effort her father and Zhang Guoqing put in privately for this?

——Not only to secretly help innocent comrades in arms, but also to deal with the digital group. This is no longer explained clearly in a few words.

Since ancient times, it is the most difficult thing for a lonely official, especially Zhou Xiaozheng's old chief is getting old day by day, when he is old and will pass away one day, how can there be any real long live?

What the Zhou family can do is to wait and see the current situation like the Yi family and others, and maintain his position. But since he is already in the wind and rain, and he doesn't join forces with some people, how can he be as stable as Mount Tai.

This year there was another ups and downs. After a long period of suffering on the bench, this time he returned to preside over the actual work of Zhongkou, but it seems that it is not easy to correct the chaos anyway.

It is conceivable that the days of 1974 will be very worrying...

After a restless year, Mrs. Cheng was admitted to the hospital again.

This time, it was not as simple as catching a cold. Not to mention that her physical functions were getting weaker and weaker as she got older, several of her closest comrades-in-arms also passed away unexpectedly.

These blows one after another broke Old Madam Cheng at once. She didn't understand that these old comrades have been in the wind and rain for decades, traveled north and south in the flames of war for decades, and nothing has ever caused them to fall. Why now, when they are old and have no ability to fight back, they have encountered unjust injustice , without knowing why.

Even at this point, the old man did not reveal her innermost feelings to the outside world. She still did not want the next generation to be involved in the disturbance.

Instead, she used high-sounding reasons. In the old lady's words, all the things she should do have been done, and it's time to finish her life.

In the ward, Zhou Jiao burst into tears, choked up and said, Who said that? Ping An and they haven't married yet, so I don't understand anything. Auntie, grandma, you can't say that, my aunt must be so sad to hear that.

The old lady held one of her hands, stretched out the other hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said with a light smile, Silly boy, one day you will die, I have lived longer than your grandma...

Don't say it, I won't listen. Zhou Jiao shook her head desperately, suppressing tears, and clutched her hand tightly, Auntie, you are obedient, you must not think so, good days are coming. You accompany We live to be a hundred years old, and I want to show you the revived Gu family.

The old lady patted her with a smirk, Okay, I live a human-like life, so let's go to the head office now.

Regardless of whether the old man's words are sincere or not, Sijiucheng can no longer let her rest in peace. The only way is to stay away, go out and walk around more, so as to evacuate the depression in your heart.

That night, after Mrs. Cheng, who was tricked by Zhou Jiao and forced to eat a bowl of porridge, fell asleep, the members of the Cheng family staying in Beijing and the Zhou family gathered together. The old couple went out to visit relatives and friends.

When she was young, she longed to go around and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. This time we can finally get my wish.

Mr. Cheng looked at the worried juniors, smiled and said words of forgiveness, This time, let's go to the second child's place first, visit old friends by the way, and then go to the boss's place to stay for a while, I miss the children too .”

Cheng Ruzhu heard the words and said, I just wanted to go out for a walk.

Cheng Lao glared at her, You can't leave now, there are old people and young people, why should you go? Take care of the family first, and let Congwen accompany you wherever you want when you retire.

But how can you go out with my mother if there is no one around?

Who said there is no one left? Auntie and guard are not human? Well, it's decided, you work hard in the unit, and we will come back for the New Year after walking around.

Dad, don't forget to keep in touch with us wherever you go. Don't even think about going to remote places with inconvenient transportation. If you ask me, going to the beach to recuperate is not bad.

Cheng Lao laughed and said nothing. People start to feel worried before they leave, they are not children, not to mention there are guards around them, can they still be lost?

Now he only hopes that his wife, who has suffered all his life, can live a few more years in good health, waiting to join him in the coffin. As for whether it is far or not, my wife can go to the ends of the world if she likes.

Zhou Jiao opened her mouth and glanced at the few present, but she still didn't say anything. It's better for her not to make any more trouble, even if she can go for a while, it won't last long.

So for the rest of the time, apart from commuting to and from get off work, Zhou Jiao basically stayed at Cheng's house to take care of the old lady herself. She just wanted the old man to be in better health and get together for a longer time, the rest seemed to be all nonsense.

A month later, when Mrs. Cheng was able to move freely, and in her words, walking like flying was no problem, Mrs. Cheng first led the Zhou family up the mountain to pay respects to Zhou Jinyu and Gu Mingzhu.

Standing in front of the grave, Mrs. Cheng touched the word Gu Mingzhu on the stone tablet. She didn't know what she thought of, but she kept looking at Zhou's family with a smile on her face.

Zhou Jiao felt that maybe the old lady was very happy that she could finally bring Zhou's family with her, so that the eldest sister underground could finally be her successor.

On the third day, Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng, who had settled down their grandson and family, finally left together and embarked on a journey.

Unlike Mr. Cheng's promise to go to Cheng Siyu first, this time the old couple got on the train bound for Jiangcheng directly, planning to rest for a few days and transfer to Lingnan.

Zhou Jiao thought she should be able to guess the final destination of the old man's trip, why Lingnan?

In addition to going all the way south, the climate is more suitable for recuperation, there is another reason. It was the second hometown where her grandfather, grandmother and old lady escaped from the Gu family.

Mrs. Cheng misses her family.

People left so suddenly, not only Zhou Jiao was not used to it, but even the three children felt that the compound seemed to be more deserted, and they didn't know whether it was because of the absence of the elders who loved them the most, or the lack of a place where they could visit at any time.

Fortunately, in the next one or two months, the old couple who did not forget to visit their old friends while traveling in mountains and rivers would keep in touch every now and then, listening to the laughter of the old lady on the phone.

That's it!

Maybe going out for a walk is really suitable for keeping in good health. It finally made up for Zhou Jiao's regret at the lack of the old lady's company.
