There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Zhang Guoqing rummaged through the bills from his pocket, changed his shoes, and said with a cheerful smile, I'll go out for a walk first, and my son will pick it up for you.

Zhou Jiao followed him out of the bedroom, Be careful. We'll discuss it when we come back.

Shh... I know.

After leaving the compound, Zhang Guoqing was delayed for a moment, and rushed to the uphill brigade of Lin County on his 28 bicycle. And Lin Xuelin's concubine, Hu Chunsheng's grandmother, Gu Xiuya, was married to Hu Daqian, the son of Hu's eldest son in the first squadron of this brigade.

Zhang Guoqing did not go directly to the other party's village, but transferred to the home of his alumni Jiang Lizhi not far away. The other party is also a member of the student union, and they usually have a good personal relationship.

Dazhi, are you there?

Jiang Lizhi also just arrived home not long ago, and was chatting with his grandfather, when he heard a familiar voice, he still couldn't believe it, so he responded loudly, and said to his grandfather on the kang, I am a classmate who came last year. Once. Lord, I'll go out for a while.

Go and invite the guests in first.

Jiang Lizhi nodded cheerfully and walked out, Okay, sir, you sit down first. I'll come as soon as I go. When he left the bedroom, he saw Zhang Guoqing pushing a car and standing outside the yard through the bamboo fence.

He ran over and joked, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you can't bear to part with my buddy?

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, No.

Jiang Lizhi opened the courtyard door, Come in first. You don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. Tell me, what's important.

Zhang Guoqing pushed the car and followed him into the yard, Help me see who has eggs, candy tickets and cloth tickets are fine. Are all the family members going to work?

Except for my grandfather who is waiting for me at home, everyone is in the team. Let my mother go to the neighbor's house later to see who has eggs. Is there not enough eggs in the city this month?

Which time is enough. I'll go to see the old man first.

Jiang Lizhi pointed to the vegetable field in the corner of the yard, Bring some fresh vegetables to the children later, and I'll help you go to the team to see if there are any good ones. I think it's better to be in the countryside, so you don't have to queue up every day.

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile, followed him into the house, and saw an old man looking at him cheerfully on the kang, he smiled and came forward to say hello, Grandpa Jiang, how are you old? I can see the vegetable gardens in the village. If they are all planted, this year will not be much better than last year.

Come and sit here. It's really much better. Last year, the private land was divided, and now each family has a lot of harvest. Can you children still have enough to eat at school?

This year is much better than the previous two years.

Mr. Jiang chatted a few words, went to the team with an excuse to leave beforehand, and kept asking him to save some dinner.

Zhang Guoqing didn't delay either, and sent him out of the room with a smile. Dinner is still very early, if he really stays, his wife should be worried. Watching the old man leave, he did not return to the house, and smiled at Jiang Lizhi: Let's go for a walk.

Okay, I just took you to the river to see if there is any harvest.

Zhang Guoqing's purpose was not to be by the river, he wanted to inquire about the situation of the Hu family. If I remember correctly, the Hu family is not far from the mill that is not far from the uphill brigade.

Didn't you say that the tofu in your team is famous last time? I have to go and see how the tools are different at the mill. Is it convenient to go there?

Jiang Lizhi shook his head with a smile, and took the lead to lead him out, I have a lot of the same thoughts as you. Before, the whole county liked to eat his tofu brain bean juice, and I thought he had a secret. When I first joined the club, a group of people in the team When the mill was established, many people came to see how his father and son operated it, but unfortunately, no one could see anything unusual.

The masters are among the folks. It's really easy to see that it's okay. Now your team is starting to supply the city again?

Jiang Lizhi nodded, and said softly: This spring, there will not be many. Every day, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county will have a car, and the surplus and bean curd residue will be distributed to the members of the team.

Zhang Guoqing patted him on the shoulder, the members of this team are really happy!

In the tofu workshop in the production team compound, there are only two people soaking beans and cleaning tools. Not far to the west, there are several middle-aged women grinding cornmeal.

Zhang Guoqing pretended to be curious and strolled in the yard, paying attention to the gossip around him.

An old lady wearing a homemade sleeve with a large patch was at the back, and she probably hadn't taken her turn yet. When she saw a stranger, she joked to Jiang Lizhi, Big dog, what do you want to show the people in the city?

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the gentle Jiang Lizhi, and immediately burst out laughing.

Aunt Hua, I beg you not to call me by my nickname, okay? This is my classmate, come and have a look. Why don't you let my sister-in-law and the others come over? This is going to be a tough one.

Aunt Hua shook her hand indifferently, What's the matter, I'm used to it. They don't do everything as fast as I can. Did the girl your mother mentioned last time take a fancy to her?

Jiang Lizhi looked embarrassed in front of a few spectators, blushing and quickly waved his hands, I'm still young, it won't be too late to talk about my partner after graduation.

Zhang Guoqing held back a smile and came to him, Don't be shy when the male college is getting married.

An aunt on the side's eyes lit up when she heard this, and said to him: This kid is right. Make it up early, and getting married once you graduate will not delay your mother's embrace of grandchildren at all. Big dog, let me tell you, you Grandma is worried that you will delay your younger brothers if you don’t find a partner. Last time, I said that as long as the girl’s parents are well-rounded and can read a few words, it’s fine. She doesn’t want you to find a girl in the city, you know? There are no girls in the city. really.

Jiang Lizhi didn't want to be the topic himself, so he nodded and changed the subject, Do you want me to help?

No, you can't do heavy work, a school boy.

Zhang Guoqing walked to the stone mill, and saw that the cornmeal was still ground together with the core and skin, which showed that everyone was still worried about the lack of food.

Dashun's family, why is the house next door to you quiet today?

Aunt Hua sneered, The family is worrying. Have you seen the one who married later? I heard that I have been pregnant with two children in the past two years and I can't keep them, so there will be another divorce.

Retribution! The one in front is so good. It gave birth to a big fat boy for their family, and they were arrested outside the house. Now it's all right. In order to climb high, I abandoned my wife and son. I won't regret it after seeing their house.

Zhang Guoqing's eyes flashed when he heard this.

What are you regretting? The old woman said that she was a nobleman of their family. She asked Chunsheng to bring his wife back to the Yue's house. I don't know what happened, and I haven't seen him come back today.

It's a crime. It's just a good life. This kid Chunsheng even told people that he didn't plan to go to the Northwest. At the beginning, he couldn't help but sneak away. Now it's better.

Leave when you want, come when you want, who does he think he is. This matter is useless, I heard from my son's uncle that it is easy to move away and difficult to come back, no matter what kind of high-ranking official he is, he is useless.

Zhang Guoqing knew this in his heart when he heard this. It would be inconvenient for him to stay for a long time as a big man, so he and Jiang Lizhi bid farewell to them and came out. They passed by the door of Hu Chunsheng's house, and through the low fenced yard, one could see an old lady with her legs upside down. Little feet are chasing chickens flying into the vegetable garden.

This should be Gu Ruyi's personal servant girl, but he didn't expect the servant girl to have small feet, so it can be seen that this person was not badly treated in the Gu family back then.
