There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The two returned to the small living room, closed the door, entered the bedroom, and stared at Zhou Jiao happily, Auntie, we sent them there, but they are still drinking, so I will be back.

Okay, you take the peanuts, and then go to the small living room outside and ask your milk to make two cups of milk powder for you, drink the milk, and serve it with peanuts, these days are better than their big men, right? Zhou Jiao smiled. To tease them and say.

Remember to take the milk powder over there. There is a small bowl in the small living room, take your time. The hot water is very hot, so don't pour it down when you are small. Mom, please make milk for the two of them. Zhou Jiao told the little guy while shouting Talking to Zhang's mother.

The two happily held hands, holding milk powder and peanuts, and smirked at Zhang's mother ingratiatingly.

You just get used to it, and the milk powder is served with peanuts. Hey, little guy, when the milk comes, you can't pour water until it's hot.

The sister-in-law looked at Mai Miao, Girl, you are getting old, you can't drink it next time, this is the milk my little brother/brother can drink, it doesn't matter if the Maisui people drink it.

Mother, I know, just this time, my aunt also bought a pack for my grandma, so that we can drink it with my brothers. Grandma, you also enjoy eating peanuts.

Zhou Jiao saw that they were in the living room, and she had nothing to do. She just saw her son puffed up and was about to cry, and hurriedly hugged and nursed her. Xiao Ping'an will behave well if he has milk. There are so many people tonight, and it's not yet time for him to sleep. .

Mother Zhang came in with milk powder and saw her breastfeeding, I don't have enough milk for Ping An, I put it on top.

Zhou Jiao smiled, said the foreign exchange volume silently, pointed to the pillow with her finger, and said in a low voice: Don't worry, the child will be healthy after drinking, and won't harm anything.

Zhang's mother gave her a blank look, and because the other two daughter-in-laws were outside, she tapped her on the forehead.

Mom, make a cup of brown sugar water to drink too, there's so much of it, I can't use it all up. Zhou Jiao said coquettishly. She really has a lot of milk powder and brown sugar, but they won't believe it and have no choice but to let them drink it.

No, it will be delicious if you put brown sugar in jujube and white porridge tomorrow. It's a waste to eat like this. Your father is happy to have peanuts. He's drinking too much, and the whole family just happens to have big white porridge. Zhang's mother refused, absolutely not listening to her , what else is there to do for a month?

Zhou Jiao fed the milk and her son was full, so she stood up and patted his back. Afraid that she would be tired, Mother Zhang took the child, Lie down and have a rest first, I will play outside with Ping An in my arms.

It's okay, mother. There are 2 catties of sugar that I just bought back today in the drawer of the closet. You can grab some for your sister-in-law to eat. The brown sugar is in the outer cabinet. You can take it yourself. I will rely on it first, and I can't sleep now.

The candy is left there. On the day of the three-day bath in Ping An, relatives came, and the children brought a lot of them. Two candies for one person cost 2 catties. I will use them later. Don't worry, mother knows what to do. You can rest at ease.

Mother Zhang's voice fell, she took the small quilt next to her, wrapped her in Ping'an and walked out, Ping'an, let's go and see Miss Sister, they are eating peanuts in a mouthful of milk powder.

How about it, my daughter is fine, remember to honor your mother, you two children really listen to your aunt, drink a sip of milk, just a sip of peanuts, don't eat it and get angry, save it for tomorrow Come back and eat with your brothers.

Seeing that there was not much milk left in the bowl, Mai Miao said to Mai Ear, Little girl, let's toast. Don't be greedy.

Xiao Maisui looked at her mother stupidly, and her mother said, Sister, I don't understand, don't break my little bowl.

Haha,,,, this time even Zhou Jiao in the back room burst into laughter, and the laughter of several women alarmed the drinking men in the main room.

The masters in the main room were still curious when they heard the laughter, and they didn't know what made them laugh so much, but they were very happy to see that the women in the family didn't cross their eyes like that, making the house smoky. They often heard mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling again in the village, and sister-in-law fighting again, and sometimes they could quarrel over an onion.

Father Zhang sighed to his sons: Your mother is the most miserable in our family. She is the eldest girl and has never had enough to eat. At that time, your grandpa had four children who were half-old. There is not enough to eat. As the saying goes, half a child eats me to death, and it is a mess. Bandits and devils will kill people when they come, so everyone runs around every day. Your grandpa's house will only be left with you two uncles.

When your mother gets married, her mother's family is not able to do it. When we separate, we will live in a thatched house. If it rains, it will rain heavily outside and light rain inside. In addition to the thatched house, your grandfather gave us a set of food, a hoe, two bedding and 200 catties of coarse grain. In order to survive, we worked desperately, and finally harvested again. The bandits came, there was no other way but to run for their lives, to run up the mountain.

Planting sweet potatoes in the mountain depression, the mountain depression is only so big, everyone can only divide a small area, there is not enough food to eat mixed with weeds and grass roots, the saddest thing is that we can’t find wild vegetables in winter, and we don’t have anything to eat, so we drink hard When hot water comes out in spring, people who come out will be swollen, and people will die in every family.

Your grandfather took our three brothers into the mountains every day, and only one family survived. When I was pregnant with my second child, I just had nothing to eat in winter, so I saved some whole grains and fed them into the mouths of the boss and your sister. Your mother was swollen all over, and I couldn’t sleep all night. At that time, your aunt was also pregnant. As for the body, we three brothers are going to die and have to eat enough.

Without telling your grandfather, he brought wild animals, hid a dagger, and secretly went to the city to exchange coarse grains. At that time, he didn’t dare to enter the city, so he went to Wang Wanwan’s area in the east of the city to exchange grain. Others said he was a traitor. I think that’s Good man, he was the one who took our brothers to hide in his house when I met a little devil.

Later, the days slowly became better. It's a good day now, I think your grandfather is at a loss, if he is alive, he must be very happy. It's time for you to catch up.

The boss took a sip of the wine, I still remember that time, when Dad went out all night and didn't come back, Mother sat there waiting for Dad, holding me and my eldest sister on a wolf mattress, and when Dad came back, my mother secretly wiped tears, The tears kept flowing. Since then, I have felt numb when I saw women cry.

I just remember that my biggest dream has always been to never go into the mountains again. The soles of my feet were bloody and painful, and I couldn't wait for the skin to form. I started running again. I really didn't want to run. I still saw Uncle Dahe The Zhuzi was killed and was so frightened that there was trouble and ran with everyone. The second child was also caught in the memory. It was really hard at that time, and now I finally don't have to force myself into the mountains.

Zhang Guoqing asked him curiously, Second brother, how could the soles of the feet be covered with blood at that time, and there were no straw sandals?
