There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The capital city at night has a different scene. I have lived alone for a long time, and now I see the familiar capital again. Even if there are no later high-rise buildings, a metropolis is a metropolis, and the historical heritage is particularly strong in this city.

Compared with the county town, when it gets dark and there are few pedestrians, this time, under the illumination of the street lights on both sides of the main road, buses, carriages, and people flow together-the capital city in December has a new year flavor.

Along Changping Street, the car soon arrived at the compound of the military region.

Zhang Guoqing took a quick glance at the rumored military compound, and it was not far from what he had imagined.

Entering the compound, the car started to drive slowly. Lin Lishan pointed to the direction of the passing buildings and began to introduce. Zhang Guoqing learned that Lin's family and Cheng's family were in the back courtyard not far from Zhou's house—his old father-in-law seemed to be Really elevated.

He subconsciously looked at Zhou Jiao, and sure enough, he saw her frowning slightly, and quickly looked out of the window calmly as if nothing had happened.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the yard, the Cheng family, Mr. and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin appeared first, followed by a group of Cheng and Lin family members.

When Mrs. Cheng saw the children in Zhang Guoqing's arms, she didn't bother to say hello to them, and dragged Zhang Guoqing inside, Go into the house first. The children can't be cold.

Zhang Guoqing smiled apologetically with everyone, and followed the old lady into the living room.

Here Zhou Xiao is hugging Zhou Jiao and coming in, Everyone is in a hurry, right? The train is delayed by more than two hours. Let's go in and have dinner first, and chat while eating.

Facing the warm smiles around her, Zhou Jiao was busy greeting everyone. Entering inside, I saw a cradle beside the sofa in the living room—the child is lying there now.

She smiled reassuringly, answered everyone's questions, and began to secretly observe everyone. Except for Mrs. Lin who didn't show up this time, the Cheng and Lin families in the capital should have gathered together.

Zhou Xiaozheng saw his daughter smiling, entertaining everyone. Seeing that she was caught in the encirclement, he hurriedly pulled her and refused to let her sit.

Everyone sit first. I'll take Jiaojiao and Xiao Wu to their rooms to put their luggage first. Shanshan, help Auntie prepare the dishes. Auntie, I'll leave the child to you. After speaking, Zhou Xiaozheng immediately hugged her and headed east Wing room to go.

Seeing that his father and daughter had left, Mrs. Cheng pushed Zhang Guoqing beside her, and said with a smile: Go and see your room, it's all done by your father himself. The child has me, go quickly.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, and said with a smile: My dad loves Jiaojiao. The two of them must have a lot to talk about at this meeting. Let his father and daughter have a good talk first. I'll go in later.

Cheng Lao smiled and nodded: It's good for Xiaowu to sit down and chat with us. Are your parents okay? Remember to let them come together next time.

That's right. I didn't come this time, so I must let your parents come next time. Mr. Lin continued to laugh.

Zhang Guoqing quickly smiled and said: They are all very good. Before coming here, let me bring you a message, so that you don't forget to go to your house when you have time.

Remember to send a telegram to your parents after dinner to say they are safe. I will introduce everyone to you. After you get to know each other, you will have more contacts in the future.

Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhou Jiao back to the East Wing. From the study to the bedroom, he dragged her to the closet, opened it and said with a smile, Look, Dad has prepared everything for you. You rest for two days, and Dad will bring you a closet. You go shopping.

Zhou Jiao nodded happily. The entire east wing is her world. Her father prepared very carefully, and she liked it very much, but this time she still has something important to ask.

Dad, did that person get sick again? What's the situation now? How was the investigation back then? You have to give me some information so I can decide how to get along with them.

Zhou Xiaozheng really didn't want his daughter to worry about these things. Some things are very complicated, and I can't explain them clearly at the moment. Let's talk about it after those people outside have left. As for her, hehe... Now that something happened to her natal family, she knew you were coming, so she just happened to be sick.

Hehe, are you ready to wait for me to come? Tomorrow, I will ask my aunt to accompany me to find clothes. Zhou Jiao was speechless, she was so good.

Zhou Xiao was laughing incessantly. He just knew that his daughter was with him. He was looking forward to Gu Ru's reaction when he saw Zhou Jiao who was like a grandmother. No matter whether she excused illness to return the dowry this time, or she wanted to take the opportunity to get him to come to her door and make their father and daughter suffer, then let's see who has the best means?

Thinking about it, Zhou Jiao thought it was quite funny, so she put aside this matter and talked about going to the grave of the ancestors. Her father and daughter had already communicated about this matter in the letter, and now they have confirmed it again.

Zhang Guoqing came in, pointed outside and said, Dad has eaten. Let's talk when we leave.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded, telling them to wash their faces before coming out, he had to go and see the child first.

After Zhang Guoqing poured the water, he thought about it and told him, Jiaojiao, be careful with your eldest cousin. This woman is a bit abnormal. She wanted to come in and say something to see the room when she knew that your father and daughter were talking, but she was stopped by her aunt. .”

After Zhou Jiao cleaned up, she pulled him out and said softly, Don't worry. I know what's in my heart. There are some things that I can talk about after they leave.

There are two tables in the living room, squeezed together. Zhou Xiaozheng pulled his daughter and sat beside him, while responding, he kept putting vegetables into Zhou Jiao's bowl.

Cheng Sijin had seen this kind of scene before, so he didn't find it strange. On the contrary, Lin Aiguo and Li Jianjun looked at Zhou Xiao teasingly as he was picking fishbone.

At the dinner table, everyone deliberately avoided the topic of Mrs. Lin, and talked about places of interest and historic sites in the capital, and chatted about happy things.

Zhou Jiao knew that she had to bring up this topic by herself. Others can avoid it intentionally or unintentionally, but she doesn't allow herself to be gossiped about etiquette. As for what she thinks in her heart, that is her own business.

Just for a while, I didn't see that Mr. Lin was absent-minded. Her uncle Lin Aiguo often looked at her with eyes full of scrutiny, and the rest of the Lin family even glanced at her frequently.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao acted as if she hadn't noticed. Don't talk about it until you've eaten your fill. There are some things that you can't rush when they come. She has plenty of time.

Near the end, Zhou Jiao said with a smile: Grandpa, is grandma not in good health this winter? Have you checked if she is free for two days, and I will visit her old man's house?

Mr. Lin was shocked, and said cheerfully: Okay. Your grandma has missed you for a long time. Good boy, wait for your grandma to come back when she is in better health before going to see her. The hospital is not a good place, so don't go.

I'll listen to grandpa. You always check to see if grandma can come back these days. My brother and I will go to see her later. You should take good care of yourself. Zhou Jiao said looking at the haggard old man.

Who doesn't know, the old man probably already figured out the taste.

After seeing them off, Lin Lishan took the opportunity to drag Zhou Jiao into the bedroom in the east wing.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiao secretly sighed, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to her.

Jiaojiao, your grandma really pissed me off. Don't go to see her.

After Lin Lishan finished speaking, seeing her daughter's confused face, she patted her head. She was so confused that she forgot that her child had no idea what was going on.

The Gu family, Gu Changqing, had a grandson who had an accident with a girl student at school. Originally divorced, it didn't matter if he married a woman, but the incident was reported in the newspaper, and he couldn't cover it up even if he wanted to. Now the higher authorities have arrested the other party for hooliganism.

Old Mrs. Lin tried her best to save no one, so she finally asked Lin Lishan to find Zhou Xiaozheng to think of a way. It seemed that as long as Zhou Xiaozheng agreed, everything would be fine.

Lin Lishan felt that her man was not suitable and rejected her. What's more, in her mother's words, she suspected that her man was messing with this matter, so how could she tell her man?

Hooliganism, what a rare crime--he who sticks to it is unlucky!

Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing, So just because of this, the old lady went to the hospital?

Jiaojiao, do you think your dad might interfere? I dare not tell your dad that your grandma suspects him. Your dad hasn't even been to your grandma's house this time, let alone visit her in a nursing home. I She just thinks too much.

Zhou Jiao said with a stern face: My dad would not do such a thing. You ask the old lady what reason is worthy of him doing this? My dad is in the military camp every day, where is the time to investigate other people's trivial matters? My father who hates me has already gone up and beat me up, who wants to get involved in these things. Is the old lady getting confused and suspicious?

I don't think it's like what your dad did. Even your dad didn't do anything. There must be a reason for what he did. You must never visit your grandma. People from the Gu family often go there.

Zhou Jiao understood in her heart that her father might have done this. But she couldn't admit it. It seems that something happened to her grandparents back then.

Let's take a look first. If I don't come back to see her, it doesn't make sense logically. Besides, didn't you ask me to ask for a dowry? Hehe...Mom, don't worry. I went, and those people from the Gu family beat me or something? You go up The next time you come back, Dad didn’t tell you about the two sums of money, did he?”

Lin Lishan sighed, Your father didn't mention it, but I mentioned it. He said forget it, which means the same as what you said. I also asked your grandma, but she didn't say a word. I asked her about what she prepared for you. The dowry, did she embezzle it too, but she said nothing to me. I went to ask for the key early this morning, and there is no one there tonight, so let's move home first.

Zhou Jiao frowned disapprovingly, and then thought about being less conspicuous. Then she asked some other trivial matters after her father came back, and seeing that there was nothing to do, she dragged Lin Lishan back to the living room.

There is no one else at home except my aunt who looks after Ping An. Knowing that Zhou Xiaozheng took Zhang Guoqing out to telegraph back to the Northeast, Zhou Jiao began to open the package and sort out gifts for others.

When Zhou Xiaozheng came in, Zhou Jiao looked up and found him alone, and looked at him strangely.

Xiao Wu was dragged away by the Fang family boys. Don't rush to pack things, you should rest first. Tell Dad how you did in the exam this time? Can Zhao Dashan find someone? Xiao Wu's family didn't give you anger Accept it?

Zhou Jiao raised her head and smiled triumphantly: It's still number one. Dad, your daughter scored 595 out of 600 in the test, and I will try to get you a grand slam next time. Xiao Wu and I made up our freshman grades and are now in our sophomore year. He did well too. We are still first and second.

Just about right. Don't spend too much energy chasing perfection.

Seeing that he was waiting for an answer, Zhou Jiao continued, Uncle Dashan can find someone, so far it seems to be okay. If she comes, Xiaowu's parents won't live in the county.

Godfather, the couple will come to the door every three to five days, and they are always empty-handed. The remaining four uncles will occasionally come with them to see us. They will send you a package in two days. Grandma Zhou and the grandson of the old patriarch At that year's ceremony, Xiao Wu originally wanted to send it to his father himself, but he said he was worried that the old Zhou's family would post it, and he said he would take care of it.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded in satisfaction. It is enough for someone to take care of the daily life, and the rest are trivial matters. He saw that it was getting late, and he had to let her go to bed early.

Don't rush to clean up these things. We'll talk about it tomorrow during the day. Come to the study with Dad first, and I'll give you the access documents for the two of you first. Your mother and I have to go to work tomorrow. Are you okay at home?

Zhou Jiao knew that they had already asked for a day off today, There are Aunt Chen and Auntie at home. You can go to work at ease. We can't lose it, so I will call your office if there is something to do.

Seeing him hesitating, Lin Lishan said, I'll go to the group tomorrow and I'll be back after making arrangements. Brother Zheng, don't worry.

Zhou Xiaozheng nodded and led Zhou Jiao into the study.

Seeing him go in, Aunt Chen said in a low voice: The chief usually has a straight face, I never thought he would spoil the child so much. She didn't work here for a long time, and she was usually afraid of Zhou Xiao's straight face.

Hehe, our Jiaojiao is very sensible, and you will know when you get in touch with her in the future. Not to mention her father, even her parents-in-law love her, and my father is even more talkative.

It's very good, it looks like a good boy. Aunt Chen nodded in agreement.

For the past two days Zhou Xiaozheng has been telling her to prepare more dishes. She was really worried that there would be an aggressive and unreasonable rural silly elder sister, or she would be a wayward elder lady.
