There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

In the ancestral hall, the old team leader saw two large vats, two stools, and four or five stacked baskets that had been brought over, scattered around the cart, and looked at the youngest man and the old couple in surprise.

Zhang Guoqing shook his head at him. He was too lazy to say any more. Just now the old lady almost claimed that the iron pot belonged to her family. If the cupboard wasn't too big and conspicuous, it probably belonged to her family again.

He can't let the old lady cry in his yard at an old age, so he doesn't have to add bad luck to his family! His father said before that fortunately not a big family lives in his house.

He wanted a family instead. not to go? He just threw it with his hands. No matter how rogue you are, you can still be subdued after being locked up in the bureau for a few days. This old lady who was dying, he really couldn't afford to bother, maybe he had to mourn for them.

The old captain shook his head repeatedly at the youngest. Really enough! This can also be done. Not even a queen, who will you keep?

He thought so, and Zhang Guoqing thought so too. It should be dedicated to the ancestral hall as a public property! He still thinks it's unlucky for the old couple to have used things, and he will definitely knock down the kang in the west wing room later! This time he will renovate it with great fanfare, to see who dares to want to move in without interest.

On the way, the old captain asked: Your family will go back, how will the yard be arranged when it is empty?

Zhang Guoqing glanced at the big brother, and said with a smile: Leave it to my elder brother-in-law. In our village, he doesn't have a yard, so he just happens to stay in the village during the holidays.

The old captain nodded secretly when he heard that Zhang Chunming would take care of him. This is a good idea, Lao Zhang wants to go back to his hometown for a few days, and he doesn't have to stay with his eldest son to get angry.

Xizi and the others often come back, and it happens that the four Ziwen brothers and sisters can also have a room. Here, a bunch of them grow up, and the yard doesn't have to worry about being empty.

The old captain smiled and said: With you as an uncle, the children are blessed. Although they can live with your parents when they come here, it's not as good as living in a yard alone. Those children are hardworking and plant some seeds in the backyard. stuff, that's fine.

Zhang Guoqing complimented: That's because you are always in the village, otherwise I wouldn't worry about changing the village. You will live a long life, and you are indispensable in this village to preside over the overall situation.

The corner of the old captain’s mouth hung high, I’m just messing around. As long as everyone can have food, the ancestors will bless you. Xiaowu, if you have time, ask old man Wang to go to the mountain to see. After paying the public rations, our team Every year, I have to rely on the income from the mountain.”

No problem. I will drag the old man out of the mountain no matter what. I will report to you as soon as I have news. Zhang Guoqing did not say that he had gone for a walk on the mountain. As Zhou Jiao said, it is too easy to get, others will take it for granted.

Then I'll go back first. Be sure to let me know if there's any news.

Okay, we two brothers will not send it away.

What to give, it's a few steps away. After the old captain finished speaking, he walked home easily with his hands behind his back. He is happy, with the child's response, if things go well, there will be a lot of things on the mountain this autumn harvest.

Zhang Guoqing watched him leave, walked back with his arms around Zhang Qingshan's shoulders, and said with a smile, Brother, I heard that you have found someone for Tie Dan? Don't worry if he is still in school. This is the grandson of our old Zhang's parents.

Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: Some time ago, a matchmaker came over and proposed a few good candidates. We have to wait for Tie Dan to see the details. My mother wants to get married first.

After hearing this reason, Zhang Guoqing didn't persuade him any more. It is estimated that it has something to do with the child's poor grades. There are quite a lot of baby kisses in the countryside, and it seems that there is no baby kiss, which seems to be a shame.

He smiled and said: Congratulations, you are the father-in-law. You are the first one among our brothers. Turn around and call a few brothers to have fun together.

Nonsense! Is there any congratulations on becoming a father-in-law?

Can I congratulate you on being the groom? Zhang Guoqing laughed happily after finishing his joke.

Zhang Qingshan hammered him a few times and scolded with a smile: Death is not decent, is this what you should say as an uncle?

The two cousins ​​went back to the foot of Beishan, playing and laughing. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Qingshan saw that there was nothing to do and left, while Zhang Guoqing went into the yard, took out a hammer and really ran to smash the kang.

Ding ding bang bang, the kang in the west wing room was dismantled and cleaned up by him in a short while. After fetching several buckets of water, Zhang Guoqing cleaned from the main room to the kitchen.

Under the scorching sun again, he borrowed a ladder to climb up to the roof to inspect the repairs, pass the chimney, and was busy for a long time. Zhang Guoqing stood in the yard and looked around. Seeing the traces of everything being used by others, he finally smiled.

That's not counting. After taking a shower, he picked up his hoe and ran to the backyard to clean the vegetable garden with his bare upper body. Fortunately, his father was reluctant to give up the one-third of an acre of land, otherwise, if the youngest husband and the old couple planted it, it is estimated that they might not move away until the harvest is real.

His father is a good farmer. Except for the fruit trees he planted in the early years, the backyard is full of fruit. No wonder the youngest man and the others are unwilling to leave. With his father's temperament, it is impossible to argue with people in their seventies and eighties about what is missing.

The dried fruits and vegetables sent by his mother every year are probably produced here. It's really hard for the two of them to serve the three yards all the time. That's a lot of work!

Zhang Guoqing is worthy of being his father's good son, and he is really quick at work. Regardless of whether he is going to college, in fact, from Zhang Guoqing's point of view, he is going to farm. Endless going to the countryside to support agriculture and go to the farm. Fortunately, the work of fertilizing was contracted by alumni with bad backgrounds, otherwise he doubted whether he would not be able to persist.

When the trumpet for the strike in the afternoon sounded, Zhang Guoqing had already tidied up the backyard and picked several sacks of melons and fruits. As for the vegetables? He was really worried that the sacks would not be able to hold down the bamboo baskets at home that were scraped by the old lady.

After Zhou Jiao was busy with Zhang's mother in the old house, she saw that it was getting dark and planned to go back. At this time, there were no electric lights in the village, so everyone hurriedly took a few bites at dawn or at night.

After leaving the old house, not long after stepping into the door, Zhou Jiao understood how much work her man had done today. If the whole yard looked clean because the two old people didn't raise chickens and ducks before, it would be a world of difference.

She deliberately opened the west wing and looked at the two rooms, and saw that one of them had no kang, and the two rooms had no extra decorations. It's not surprising at all, it's in line with her man's way of doing things.

After walking around the house, Zhou Jiao ran to the backyard with a smile on her face. Seeing that he packed a few sacks, he smiled and gave him a thumbs up!

No boast?

Zhou Jiao laughed and said, Well done!

Zhang Guoqing approached her and winked, It's better to say something than to do it! I'll see you in action at night! Good performance, brother will be rewarded.

Zhou Jiao gave him a white look, Don't think about it. Hurry up, I'll wait for you to go back to eat. You have to go to see your son, he is going to heaven.

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. Lifting a few sacks into the cellar and putting them away, thinking of the inventory that hadn't been sold, the couple discussed it again in whispers.
