There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Liuyi joked, What if grandpa agrees but dad objects?

Of course not. Without the whole family's vote, can Mom spare me?

You are quite sensible.

I've always been so good, okay? You're jealous, just jealous.

Are you feeling uncomfortable if you don't brag?

Facts speak louder than words.

...

Ping An saw that as soon as he took a sip, his two younger brothers started bickering again, secretly laughing: They are almost 20 years old and still so childish, it is a pity that there is no audience.

The military dogs guarding outside began to bark a few times. Liuyi and Wuyi stopped in tacit agreement, each looked at each other and stood up.

Guests should be here. Ping An put down his cup and went out first, We'll go over and help too.

It's strange. Why didn't Mom come to see us? Doesn't she like our gift? It's impossible. She also said before that she would ride on Tweety Wind.

What's so strange about this? Dad must have stopped her. If Mom had time to go into the backyard, if she went to their yard, he wouldn't be able to hide his surprise.

Liuyi patted his younger brother, Did you go and take a look secretly?

Wu Yi hooked his neck and muttered, That's right. You must not imagine what we play, but we really know how to play, but we keep it a secret.

It's just a bunch of broken flowers.

Hahaha...don't you understand this? Wuyi winked and smiled at him, Learn more from our dad. I think mom will be very happy.

How about we also send flowers to Mom on her birthday next year?

I think so too. But I prefer to plant flowers in my parents' yard as soon as spring comes next year. It's a pity that I may not be able to come back.

I'll come, and you can send more flower seeds from abroad.

Okay! That's it. Let's see what our dad will do next year.

Okay, stop talking nonsense and walk faster. Ping An laughed out loud at the murmurs of the two younger brothers, but he was so childish and still competing for favor.

Summer duration.

The last ray of sunset slanting on the west side of the sky has long since set. When the sky is half dark and half bright, the evening breeze slowly brings waves of fragrance mixed with flowers and trees.

Cheng Ruzhu was coming slowly holding Miao Lishan's arm, I heard that the fish raised in the pond are very big?

Yes, tonight's carp is caught from here. Not only carp, but also a lot of lotus roots planted in the past two years. We will go back later.

Then I won't be able to finish my meal and walk around?

Haha, I'll give it to others if I can't finish it anyway. Why are you being polite to me? We also have snails, but Jiaojiao said the earthy smell is too strong.

Sister-in-law, hearing what you say makes me want to dig a pond at home.

That's not possible. There is an underground river and living water here.

I know, I'm just talking. Cheng Ruzhu glanced at her with a smile, That's just me. Others won't say you're showing off.

So I like to chat with you. After Miao Lishan finished speaking, her eyes lit up and she waved to the other side, These three brats don't know how to go to the front yard early.

What are you going for? There are a lot of people helping you.

As soon as the three Ping'an brothers saw them, they hurried forward to say hello.

The guests are here, go and accompany your grandpa.

Grandma, where are you going?

The pavilion. Those gay men want to drink here. I'll bring your aunt over to have a look. Aunt Chen and the others will bring food over in a moment.

There's no problem over there. The light bulbs are all good and they're cleaned.

Okay, you go to the front to help, and we'll turn on the lights.

After receiving instructions from Miao Lishan, the three brothers waved their hands and went to the front yard.

Sure enough, as long as their grandfather's sworn brothers were still in the capital, they all came together.

However, it is a pity that they did not bring their wives with them. No wonder they were the only two who went to the backyard just now.

The three Ping'an brothers would visit their grandparents' homes with their parents every year and festival. Moreover, because they had close contact with their descendants, they had a very close relationship with each other.

For example, Wang Dawei likes to tease the three brothers.

While chatting and laughing, as the food and wine were served to the pavilion in the back garden, the family also took away the guards, leaving space for Zhou Xiaozheng and his brothers to gather.

Feeling that there was less and less private space for him to spend time with his father-in-law and old friends, Zhang Guoqing winked at his three sons: From now on, it is your job to serve food and wine.

When people reach a certain stage, old friends become fewer and fewer. Fortunately, these are his father-in-law's life-and-death friends, otherwise no one could bear to be inspected as soon as they come to the door.

This is why he specially arranged for everyone to stay in the old house, so at least they don't have to pass through the gates.

Maybe in the future, he will have fewer and fewer friends...

For example, good brother Li Qinglin always says that his wife is afraid of seeing her father-in-law. In fact, he knows full well that this is not an excuse.

Before I went to celebrate the New Year in my hometown in Northeast China, this guy and Zhang Yuntao stayed at his house forever.

Zhou Jiao pulled the absent-minded Zhang Guoqing and looked at him with worried eyes.

Ha, it's okay. Zhang Guoqing understood and came to his senses. It was funny that he had learned to be pretentious, My uncle is really working overtime tonight?

It has to be true even if it's not true. Zhou Jiao smiled, held his arm, and sighed as she walked, He is a person who likes to be particular about everything.

fine.

That's good. Come and pick up my sister-in-law later. Firstly, it gives dad some space, and secondly, it's not rude. Why don't you think Xiaoyu and the other three brothers learned this skill?

When you get older and have more experience, you will naturally understand. Don't worry about them. My uncle is very smart. With him around, those three can still do better.

I'm not worried about them, as long as my little aunt is doing well.

Come on, I'll accompany you to open the gifts your parents gave you.

Haha, I've opened it secretly. Zhou Jiao was happy when she thought of the birthday gift from her parents. It's a set of purple clay teapots, with a congratulatory message from dad on it.

Zhang Guoqing is not surprised at all. His father-in-law has been practicing calligraphy in recent years and has become very interested in it. He also gave him a set of tea sets with inscriptions on his birthday last year.

His wife was the only one who kept having fun.

A set of tea sets, and another set of tea sets, can you use them all at home? Nothing new! Can't a set be divided into several years and given away? It’s also a good way to give them a surprise to collect.

In the future, I will open a tea set collection room and store famous teas. As soon as I enter, the room will be filled with the aroma of tea... How about it? Isn't it wonderful?

Wonderful, wonderful beyond words!

After hearing what she said, Zhang Guoqing finally knew his wife's plan. Otherwise, he would then start contacting comrades from all over the country and collect all kinds of tea leaves?

Daughter-in-law, we need to install a large study room next door. It is best to connect the two rooms. Think about it, a courtyard, a pot of tea, and a volume of beautiful articles to read...
