There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Dong'an Market, Dongdan District. In this comprehensive shopping mall after a public-private partnership last year, the shops are next to each other. Nowadays, it is the only one where you can shop, eat, and enjoy performances on the ground in the capital.

All of this also caused a huge passenger flow here, and there were crowds of people, regardless of their status and grades. In the crowd, Zhou Jiao also saw the nobleman walking the bird for the last time.

There are a wide variety of commodities in the market, and the conspicuous places in the shops and the tall cashier counters are densely packed with steel wires, leading to each counter.

From time to time, the salesperson at the counter rolled up the received money bills with the receipts just opened, clamped them with iron clips, and pushed them hard to the cashier counter.

Customers queuing in front of the counter don't have to run around. The whoosh sound of the iron clamp touching the steel wire and the voice of the customer filled my ears.

Zhou Jiao looked worriedly at the iron clips passing around her head, and while paying attention to the clothes of the crowd around her, she listened to the conversations in the crowd.

She has been to this market in later generations, and it is no longer as prosperous as it is today. The theatres, restaurants, and bookstores that I came to see just now, surrounding the entire market, have become a holy place for the people of the capital to go out, and it is even a holy place for tourists from other places.

Mrs. Cheng and Lin Lishan lined up separately, and Zhou Jiao felt that there was nothing to buy. She greeted the two of them and strolled along the way.

It is rumored that foreign embassies are concentrated in this area, and you can find many foreign magazines. When I arrived at the bookstore, I found that there were no old books, but all new books. This made her suddenly dull.

She strolled to the fabric area, and saw Lin Lishan was already choosing colors. Afraid of being pulled up, she quietly turned to the left and continued to observe the prices of commodities at each counter.

Taking advantage of the fact that many things don't need tickets nowadays, she has her eyes on the target, and her next goal is to take Zhang Guoqing to exchange funds for supplies.

After more than an hour, I finally saw them coming out with their things. Zhou Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's really not her style to wander around without a goal.

After visiting Silian Hair Salon, Lin Lishan dragged Zhou Jiao and the old lady in. Bamao? What a rip off! But there are really many people who have been wronged.

Zhou Jiao declined her mother's proposal. She likes long hair and straight hair. Looking at the female compatriots around her who had their hair permed and looked happy again, she shed tears for these women with similar looks. Put on a padded jacket in the winter, and look at it from behind at night without being afraid that your man will misunderstand the wrong person?

After the three women had their hair cut, seeing that it was getting late, they hurriedly found a car and drove home.

Che Zhoujiao snickered at Old Madam Cheng. She remembered that when the old lady went out, she said to Zhang Guoqing with a sure face that she would come back in three hours and wake up in time for Ping An.

look! No matter how old women are, their shopping needs will not decline.

After returning home, Zhang Guoqing raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhou Jiao empty-handed in the living room. In the morning, his daughter-in-law could say that he would go shopping.

He quickly handed the son in his arms to Zhou Jiao. For milk powder, he found that children don't like it. This little guy must have tasted it.

Mom, grandma sent someone to ask our family to go to her place for dinner at night. What about safety? Zhang Guoqing said softly when he saw that Mrs. Cheng was carrying things happily and followed Zhou Jiao to the east wing.

Lin Lishan said without raising her head, Ask your dad, we'll talk about it when he comes back. Xiao Wu, don't laugh. Quickly help mom see how this material can make clothes for you?

Mom has always had a good eye. You can do it if you think it's okay.

My little five just knows how to talk. Go out with Xiaofei and the others at night if you have nothing to do, or watch movies with Jiaojiao. Go out more often, don't stay at home all the time. Don't you feel relieved to leave it to mom?

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. He secretly thought that he was really worried, his mother-in-law was like a child. Give it to Aunt Chen for fear that the child will not be familiar with it. It's better for him to look at himself. Especially in the past few days, Jiaojiao has things on her mind. There will be opportunities after going out for a walk. Seeing Lin Lishan's smiling face, he secretly sighed.

He prayed that Mr. Lin would be smarter. He heard that the Gu family hadn't left all afternoon and was still staying at the Lin family. Is this targeting his father-in-law and his wife?

He has a terrible headache for Gu Ruyi now, can't he stop? Don't think about it tonight, I will definitely test Zhou Jiao with the topic of returning the dowry. He has already decided to give up this dowry, this is a powder keg! Gu Ruyi is always a hidden danger.

Zhou Xiao was returning home from get off work, followed by Lin Aiguo.

Lin Aiguo, who was in his forties, treated Zhou Xiaozheng with great respect. Unfamiliar people can hardly imagine that this is the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

After entering the living room, Lin Aiguo was not in a hurry to go home. He drank the hot tea brought by his aunt and continued to chat with Zhou Xiaozheng about the topic just now.

When Zhou Xiaozheng learned that the Lin family invited his family to dinner tonight, he nodded slightly. People have come to guard the house, and he has no intention of avoiding it. After seeing Mrs. Cheng and Zhou Jiao come out, they talked about the banquet tonight.

The old lady Cheng refused Lin Aiguo's invitation on the grounds of taking care of the children, arranged Zhou Jiao's hair, and urged the family to hurry over.

A group of people left the house and met many acquaintances along the way. This meeting was the end of get off work, many people started to go home, and when they saw Zhou Xiaozheng, they all stopped to say hello. Soldiers from farther away also gathered around and looked at Zhou Jiao curiously.

Now it is rumored in the compound that the cold-faced king Zhou Xiaozheng loves his only daughter very much. If you have something to ask him, talk about his daughter first, so that Zhou Xiaozheng will not make sarcastic remarks. If you praise his daughter to his face, you can also see his rare smile.

In the past two days, everyone saw that he no longer had a straight face every day, and began to have the courage to joke with him.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Zhou Xiaozheng pulled Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing to introduce and greet everyone one by one with a smile in his eyes. He found that the soldiers and their family members who lived in the front buildings came to watch, knowing that they were curious. He was happy to let everyone take a good look at his Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiao and Zhang Guoqing smiled and greeted everyone, listening to their jokes. They all nodded and thanked them for their invitation. Facing this group of rough men, the two chatted happily with everyone until the end. This is a group of lovely soldiers, straightforward, warm and friendly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Aiguo invited everyone to drink at his house. Everyone understood that this was their family dinner, and some even understood that this was the first time the Zhou and Lin families had dinner together. Everyone smiled and refused.

Some people knocked on the lunch box and pointed to the location of the cafeteria. People in twos and threes also left after making an appointment with each other to drink.

Lin Aiguo took Zhou Xiaozheng and walked home quickly, before reaching the corner of the path. They ran into several old soldiers again, and now the old men shouted to stop Zhou Xiaozheng.

Several old men looked at their family, laughed and said that old man Lin was not bragging, and Zhou Jiao kept boasting as he greeted with a smile. One or two old men patted Zhang Guoqing on the shoulder, asking him to go to the small park tomorrow to fight together.

These old men had already met Zhang Guoqing in the morning, and they were deeply dissatisfied with his not enlisting in the army. In their view, the descendants of soldiers have to go to the army.

At this time, the old man brought up the old story again and asked Zhou Xiaozheng to persuade the child that he must let the child enter the military academy.

Zhou Jiao faced this group of old urchins dumbfoundedly—Kuaren repeated a few words repeatedly, catching Zhang Guoqing and making him a soldier. She began to wonder if Zhang Guoqing's university volunteering would be emphasized two years later.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old men let their family go when they had finished talking.

Just a few minutes away was delayed for more than an hour on the road. Lin Aiguo didn't dare to walk slowly, lowered his head and dragged Zhou Xiaozheng towards home quickly.
