There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

When Dad Zhang came back from the village, he went to find his wife first as soon as he entered the yard.

Mother Zhang was holding her little grandson, and she was silently calculating an account in her heart. When she heard the movement, she looked up and found that it was her old man. She didn't care, and continued to think about it.

What's the matter, frowning? The child is old, and it's time to send it to the nursery. No matter how many times the second child has told you, you still let him send it there. I cried too much a few nights ago, and I didn't sleep well.

Zhang's mother was interrupted by him, and she forgot the account that she couldn't remember, and said with a cheerful smile: This child is not as safe as we can take care of. I couldn't see it in the past few months, but I can see it when I grow up. , is impatient.

Father Zhang glanced at his grandson, shook his head and smiled. Thanks to his brother-in-law's blessing, this kid has no shortage of food or usefulness, so he really knows how to choose the time to reincarnate.

It's good that her mother-in-law came over at noon and specially sent us two fish. She said that Xiao Wu sent something to his second sister again. Dad, I calculated it in my heart, Xiao Wu's monthly salary is not enough for him Such an expense. You write a letter to tell him to save some time, and don’t keep sending things back.”

Father Zhang always felt that he forgot something and didn't tell his wife. After a while, he patted his forehead, I remember now. Didn't his father-in-law find someone to buy a lot of seafood? He asked someone to bring two The big basket of yellow croakers and prawns was given to Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu asked me not to tell Uncle Chen embarrassing him.

Mother Zhang shook her head, No. That's not what I meant. Forget it, I'll think about it myself. Why did you come back so early today? Is the village okay?

Father Zhang took his grandson, put him on the kang, and said with a smile: Brother said that the weather has been good since the beginning of spring, and this year's life will not be sad. I think it's all right, and each family has their own land again, so we've made it through.

That's good. Xiaowu, Aunt Ye met me when he was shopping for vegetables, and told me that many children were suffering from some kind of disease, which was caused by lack of food.

Father Zhang hurriedly said: It's okay to talk about these things in private, don't shout them out.

I'm with you every day, don't you know?

Father Zhang didn't say anything after hearing this, and turned around to mention the news he heard today.

I heard a big event in the village today. The eldest daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family died and was secretly buried in the ancestral grave by the family. Everyone in the Zhou family village surnamed Zhou exploded when they found out, saying that the old Zhou family had done nothing. I didn’t even discuss a word with the tribe. Fortunately, the dynasty has changed now, if it had to be given to the tribe in the past.”

Mother Zhang's eyes widened.

It's nothing strange. That woman never did bad things, but I didn't expect her son to be very filial to her, and it's no fault of her working hard for her children.

Mother Zhang listened and nodded. After thinking for a while, Old Zhou's family should also write a letter to Xiao Wu about this matter. Don't ignore it if the two families are not related. I heard from the second child that they seem to want to toss and move back again. It's a mess.

Okay, I'll write tonight.

Zhang's mother looked at the sky, stood up and said, You help me look after my grandson first. I'll go to Meili's house. You're not at home today, Ziwen came over and said that his grandma seemed uncomfortable last night, so don't be like Mrs. Zhou gone.

Go, walk slowly and don't fall.

Zhang's mother squinted at his wife, I'm a child?

Father Zhang watched his wife rushing out the door, smiled and shook his head. This temper really does not admit defeat.

Mother Zhang, who was in a hurry, left the yard and began to walk steadily, still wondering where she had just been. Hurry up to the door of Zhang Meili's house. She calmed down and pushed open the courtyard door.

Accountant Zhang was serving the seeds in the yard. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and said, Why are you here? Where's the little grandson?

The child's father is at home. I'll come to see my sister-in-law. Ziwen said that she is not well. Is she better now?

Accountant Zhang put down his work, Mother is fine, you guys are chatting. I'll talk to my second child, but I don't know what's going on in the team.

Mother Zhang said with a cheerful smile: Go, it just so happens that you two are companions.

Watching the in-laws leave, Zhang's mother happily shouted and went into the room.

Here we come...sit down... Accountant Zhang's wife, Mrs. Liu, waved to her.

You are speaking more and more sharply now. I don't think it will take long. Your body should be healed. God bless you. Finally, you don't have to suffer.

Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, Much... Thanks to Xiao... five.

Zhang's mother helped her get off the kang, what is the relationship between our two families, you can be polite. Don't go back to your hometown this time, you see how well you have been raised this winter. We are old, we should take care of our bodies, and we have to take care of ourselves. Seeing that Ziwen's children are marrying you granddaughter-in-law, don't you think so?

Mother Zhang also has a reason for saying this.

Every winter, Zhang Chunming and Zhang Meili would move the Liu family back to the county seat. In the village, even some firewood has to be saved, and he often huddles with a few grandchildren of the old family to keep warm, so Liu can't rest well at all.

For this matter, no matter how his father refused, Zhang Chunming resolutely took the old couple back to the county for the winter. He also felt the filial piety of his brothers with his wife. He doesn't have the conditions to make the old man have enough food and clothing like his brother-in-law, but he can squeeze out some rations from his mouth, work more overtime, and plant more sweet potatoes in the yard, so he can always support his parents well.

Zhang's mother is very supportive of her son-in-law's approach and also helps her in action. She doesn't know the truth, but she also feels that the eldest son-in-law did nothing wrong. It is only natural for children to honor their parents.

She knew that her eldest daughter and her son-in-law were not willing to accept help from the Yue family, but she always remembered how much her eldest daughter and son-in-law helped the family in the early years.

Subsidies were offered to the couple, but they refused. Zhang's mother changed the method and asked the three grandchildren to go home with Xizi and the others to do their homework every day, and then let them go after eating.

Because of this, Zhang Chunming's family didn't struggle because of their parents' coming. On the contrary, with Zhang Chunming and his wife's series of promotions, the family got better and better.

Mrs. Liu happily said yes.

Last night, her youngest daughter-in-law also persuaded herself to let them stay at home with peace of mind. When you are healthy, you can help take care of the children. The children are filial, and she knows very well that when the grandchildren grow up, their grandma's house is next door, and there is no need for her who cannot work.

When he was about to get off work, Zhang Chunming hurriedly rode around. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the voice of his mother-in-law and ran happily to his parents' room.

Mother, Meili has been transferred to the trade union. She won't be in the workshop anymore.

Zhang's mother was so happy that she clapped her hands, Isn't that under your Aunt Zuo's hands? It's really great, it doesn't have to be so hard. How about you, do you still work overtime every day?

Not long after I was promoted, I have to work hard to hold down the bottom, and it will be easier after a while. Zhang Chunming quickly comforted his two mothers.

Zhang Chunming did not say that the main reason for working overtime is to make more money. In the past few years, his length of service and his usual performance have risen from the original thirty-six yuan to fifty-two yuan, but he still feels that it is not enough. With three sons, a daughter and his father and mother, he is under a lot of pressure.

In the past few years, my family has relied on my brother-in-law to survive one after another. But no matter how good the relatives are, they can't just get but don't pay. Xiaowu is righteous, but he can't always rely on him to help.
