There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

At noon yesterday, plus Zhao Dashan's family who arrived late, two tables were full of guests. That banquet exhausted Zhou Jiao to death. When Dad Zhang and his group were sent away, the couple didn't even have time to send gifts, so they fell asleep directly.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Guoqing and his wife got up early to prepare things. With no outsiders and Aunt Fen taking care of daily life, the family finally returned to peace, as before.

At this moment, Zhou Jiao fed the child and finally started to pack her luggage.

As soon as Aunt Fen came in, she saw the couple discussing gifts. She hurriedly stopped them and let them have breakfast first. What does it matter if the gift is delayed, so what if you don't give it away? She knew that Zhang Guoqing had to report to work at work today. This is the business.

Zhang Guoqing heard the words and pulled Zhou Jiao up. I saw Ping An on the kang looking at the toy hanging above his head, babbling to himself, and blowing bubbles from time to time.

He laughed happily, Jiaojiao, do you think our son is a chatterbox?

I really want to talk to people, it's up to you. Zhou Jiao teased.

While joking with each other, the couple finished their breakfast after a while.

After the meal, Zhang Guoqing looked at the pile of things on the ground and said jokingly, You think it's okay if we don't give them away this time? Why don't we let them come and pick them out?

Aunt Fen just came in to collect the bowls and chopsticks, and upon seeing this, she said, Didn't you all give it away? It would really harm things. Come on, I'll help you decide. You have sent them a lot of things before. This time, except for your parents' As for the share, you can figure it out for yourself, and others can just give a little.

Zhou Jiao paused when she heard this, and said, Brother, report first, and leave it to me. She didn't feel that Aunt Fen's meddling in the housework made her unhappy. It's just that when I came back this time, I felt that the other party had started to assert something on their own.

Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Jiao, smiled playfully, and said, Except for the pastries to give away, put away the others first. I will deliver them when I get back from get off work. Don't walk there by yourself, I ride a tricycle very fast.

Zhou Jiao helped him take off his coat and urged him to go out. Otherwise, seeing his reluctance to leave, it is estimated that I will not be able to report after today.

After sending Zhang Guoqing away, Zhou Jiao began to talk about the New Year gift her mother-in-law collected for her. Seeing that Aunt Fen didn't respond, she asked Aunt Fen directly - if their family was not at home, someone would bring New Year's gifts. Seeing that the other party quickly reported the name, Zhou Jiao followed her to the next room to look at the presents, raised her eyebrows, and said nothing.

Many people only think that she has a good memory, but forget that she is not bad at mental arithmetic. Even if so many things piled up together, they couldn't hide it from her eyes.

Zhou Jiao secretly sighed, Gu Zi'er went back to the living room, took out a pen and paper and began to make a list.

After a while, looking at the list, she wanted to laugh inexplicably. She didn't know whether brothers should give gifts, but when she saw Lin Juhua prepared new clothes from inside to outside for Ping An, she looked at Huang Cuilan, but she didn't have a single hair. I have to say that this comparison is really ironic.

Many people, many things are always unexpected, and many things are difficult to predict. Looking at Lin Juhua's usual style, who would have thought that Lin Juhua is just a caring person.

This person, like tea, can only be tasted slowly.

Zhou Jiao childishly put an X on the names of some people, and began to think about distributing gifts.

Later, when it was almost ten o'clock, Zhang Guoqing came back humming a little tune.

Zhou Jiao felt strange and didn't ask any questions, just looked at him and waited for his explanation.

Uncle Dashan asked me to go to work tomorrow. After Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, he groaned when he saw her, and he was not happy. Jiaojiao, don't you ask me what I am mainly responsible for? How much salary?

Zhou Jiao laughed straight, With Uncle Dashan here, I'm still worried about your job? You can't hand it over to me after you get paid. Besides, I'm very relieved about your ability. Any job is fine for you.

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile on his face when he heard the words, Yes. I'll leave it all to you! I'm thirty-seven yuan a month. Do you think it's enough for the family? I'm going to invite my colleagues out for a drink tomorrow night. I don't think there's much money to hand over to you this month. .”

The family doesn't need any money, you should establish a good relationship with them first. Zhou Jiao nodded and said. Zhao Yuanyuan had already calculated the salary to her before, and it was a few dollars more than expected. As for home use? That must not be enough. Only Aunt Fen earns a lot of money every month.

Zhou Jiao handed the list to Zhang Guoqing, some things should be given to others earlier.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Zhang Guoqing seemed unable to speak. He stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at it, and he knew that it was not easy to return the favor.

He was silent for a while, then said: Give back two boxes of high-end snacks, a roast duck, and a few gadgets to the gifted family; second brother, I will give some cigarettes and alcohol in private, and those special offerings are just useful for him. You Don’t give away the fabrics and things that you plan to give to your sister-in-law and sisters this time. I will give them to my eldest sister privately after a while.”

Hehe...I guess the big sister's gifts to our three families are similar this time, which is enough to embarrass her. Don't give it away in a while, we will deliver it in person at night, and she won't tell the public. Zhou Jiao smiled.

She was really worried that Zhang Meili would give such a gift, and her elder brother-in-law would have objections. She had better send it over earlier to make up for it. She guessed that Zhang Laoer might return a generous gift. But the boss doesn't care about internal affairs, and Huang Cuilan is used to thrift, so the situation is different.

Zhang Guoqing nodded. His eldest sister is not as good as the second sister, but she is always generous to her brothers. The husband's family and the mother's family all want annual gifts, and this year is probably not going to be easy.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Zhou Jiao dragged Zhang Guoqing to the next room. A lot of pastries and toys were mixed together, and Aunt Fen didn't separate them. She didn't say a word, pointed to the annual gift recorded on the list, smiled at him, and asked him to help clean up the gifts.

Zhang Guoqing took out a bamboo basket from the corner, and there was half a basket of potatoes in it. I don't know who gave it to me, and I didn't hear Aunt Fen mention it, and of course it wasn't recorded on the list. He couldn't help sighing. He began to wonder if it was something worthless sent by someone, so this aunt didn't mention it? That's all human.

Jiaojiao, ask Aunt Fen to come over.

Zhou Jiao knew at a glance that he was angry. For Zhang Guoqing, if the gift is not light, it can be regarded as not received. He pays special attention to the heart. It happened to let Aunt Fen know that this house does not belong to her.

After leaving the room, Zhou Jiao called Aunt Fen to the kitchen to come out.

Hearing the other party's response early on, it took half an hour for Aunt Fen's figure to come over.

Zhou Jiao smiled helplessly, and said, Aunt Fen, go and see who delivered the potatoes in the room? Xiao Wu is waiting for you to go over.

Potatoes? I really forgot. Wait, let me think about it. Aunt Fen frowned as she walked.

Entering the room, I saw Zhang Guoqing on the list. What used to be piled up in one place now has a small pile behind him. You can tell at a glance that there are still some things on the list that are not correct.

Aunt Fen stopped and looked around. Seeing Zhang Guoqing raised his head and smiled, he said, Xiao Wu, the person who brought the potatoes was surnamed Wang, and he also sent two pheasants and a piece of venison. He said you know who it is. Hehe, Xiao Wu, I put two pheasants and a deer. The meat is done, is it all right?

It's okay. Besides him, who else will send it here? Think about it now. Even if someone comes to your door to give you a green onion, I have to return the gift. Zhang Guoqing shook his head and said.

I ate everything, what else can I say? He and his wife are not stingy masters, but they left a lot of food at home. In the morning, he went to the warehouse to pick up things, but it was already empty. Fortunately, those things were supplied to Ben, but he didn't give them to the other party. Looks like he'll have to find another babysitter.

This, the neighbors on the left and right, and the families in front of me all sent sticky buns and tofu. There was also an old man surnamed Ye who sent two fish. The original owner, Mrs. Liu, gave a pack of toffee and said It was her relatives who brought them back from outside. Aunt Wang of the neighborhood committee also brought fresh pumpkin seeds to Jiaojiao. There were seven or eight young men who brought things over, saying that your friends saw that you were not there, and some went back directly with their things... Facing Zhang Guoqing's eyes, Aunt Fen became more and more silent as she spoke.

Zhang Guoqing ignored the other party, squatted down and began to organize things. Some words no longer need to be said. If she is conscious, she should ask to leave. If Zhao Dashan hadn't been involved in it, he would have let her go just now. Or Jiaojiao is right, no one knows how to cherish blessings.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while. Zhou Jiao left and went back to the bedroom in the middle of Aunt Fen's opening. Seeing that the other party reported that all the things were missing, she didn't tell herself. There was a fire in my heart. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing found out in time, otherwise, the couple would have been hard to meet.

Aunt Fen stayed where she was for a while, and after a while she said that there was still some work to be done in the kitchen, so she went to do it first. Let Zhang Guoqing call her for something, so he hurried out.

Zhang Guoqing packed his things and went back to the bedroom. Let Zhou Jiao start to check for abnormalities in the wardrobe and boxes. Although they put valuables in the space before returning to Beijing, there are still many things at home. This will make him very disappointed with Aunt Fen! I thought it was a good idea, but I didn't expect them to show their true colors after being away for a long time.

Zhou Jiao secretly whispered her guess to him. She thinks it should be because of the other party's son's bad character. Being able to read does not necessarily mean being a human being. The mother and son of the other party have been living here all this time, how could they not notice how inappropriate the behavior of the mother and son is?

She asked Zhang Guoqing to go to the study to check. She had looked at the master bedroom this morning. It was found that there was nothing abnormal except that the wardrobe was flipped.

Zhang Guoqing went back to the next door, looked around and went back to the bedroom, and said, Fortunately, you cleverly collected most of the books. The bookcase was moved, and even the drawers were turned over. Several sheets of rice paper were missing for more than a dozen dollars, almost two Knife, but there are quite a few newspapers. There are too many brushes, I don’t know if there are any missing.”

Resign! Uncle Dashan, don't tell the truth, just find a reason. I will stay with my son at noon, so it's okay for you to give gifts? Zhou Jiao said with a frown.

Zhang Guoqing said hastily: You take care of the children at home first. Leave the rest to me. Before eating, I will go to a few neighbors first.

Which ones do you know?

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. He probably guessed that the old men and women he met in the morning exercise more or less sent some things over. It just so happened that they had prepared a lot of soft pastries for the elderly.

A box of candied fruits in Beijing and a box of osmanthus cake in Hangzhou, which seemed to be a lot in black bags. Zhang Guoqing looked at it with satisfaction, and took the gift specially added by Zhou Jiao to the two neighbors. Talk to her a few words and go outside.
