There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

The two sand fruit trees in the backyard are full of bright red fruits, and the row of jujube trees against the wall are densely packed with small red dots and small black and purple grapes, which shine brightly under the sunlight, making it impossible for you to pay attention . It would be a waste not to pick any more on a rainy day.

In order to be able to eat green corn, peanuts, and edamame, Zhou Jiao followed Zhang Guoqing overnight and spent two nights in the dark breaking off the innermost green corn. Now every time she goes back to the backyard, she sees the two If you row high, you will feel a little guilty.

Two days ago, I heard from Aunt Zuo that she would start catching young criminals again recently. This is linked to class struggle, who is not afraid? No, on the day she returned to the county, Zhou Jiao went to see the notice.

Every season when green corn is on the market, notices will be posted in the market: edamame and green corn are prohibited from being marketed, and illegal sales of 10 ears of green corn and edamame weighing less than 5 catties will be confiscated once discovered.

Those with more than 10 ears or more than 10 catties will be confiscated and fined. If the amount is huge and the attitude is dishonest, it will be handed over to the group for ideological education. Anyone who bought edamame or green corn was found to be fined, and those who were dissatisfied made friends with the group.

Listen... don't scare people to death.

That is to say, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother always believed that the old son would not run into the black market if he was not short of money, otherwise he had to be stopped, and he would not help conceal it.

This is also the reason why the old man Wu helped to buy other fruits and vegetables except edamame and green corn. Everyone cherishes life more than money.

In order not to attract attention, Zhang Guoqing also spent the afternoon replanting crops. So, eating a bite of green corn pays a huge price.

At this time, Zhou Jiao ignored Zhang Guoqing's order before leaving, and brought her son to beat dates with a bamboo pole. Crackling and knocking several times, Xiao Ping'an shook his head while watching.

Shall we wait for my dad to come back?

Zhou Jiao shook her head quickly: Don't wait for your father, he is busy all day, who knows when he will be free.

But you promised him.

This is a white lie. Zhou Jiao rubbed her arms, it was so fucking sore! Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her son snickering, Baby, we have to be self-reliant, and we'll leave it all to your dad. He won't be exhausted.

Ping An didn't refute, he waved at Zhou Jiao, signaling her to squat down.

He leaned next to Zhou Jiao's ear and whispered, I'll call my brothers over, let them eat and drink, and do some work for me.

Zhou Jiao looked up at the surrounding fruit trees. Except for the plums that had been harvested long ago, there was nothing left to do by herself.

Seeing her moved, Ping An quickly comforted her: Mom, if you want to play, there will be plenty of them when you get home. We have several yards for you to play in.

Zhou Jiao squinted at him, Where are you going to coax your mother? You can only go to the old courtyard, and come back if there is no one there, you know?

Okay. Mom, take a break, I'll be back soon.

Seeing him running away quickly, Zhou Jiao hurriedly shouted: Slow down, don't fall.

I'll be careful.

Watching the child walk away, Zhou Jiao continued to beat the branches with the bamboo pole. If it weren't for the soreness of her raised arms, she felt that she could finish it in a short time.

When she was intoxicated with herself, Zhang's mother entered the backyard from the front, saw her posture, and laughed happily.

Zhou Jiao touched her hair embarrassingly, Mother, Ping An went to find his brothers, did you see it?

I saw him run into the house just after I came out from your uncle's house. Xizi and the others are all in the backyard over there, don't worry. Mother Zhang picked up another bamboo pole while talking, Why don't you let Xizi and the others come over to help? If it turns red, it needs to be knocked off. I used to think that Xiaowu planted too much, but now red dates are a rare thing.

Your old son is as smart as you are.

Hearing this, Zhang's mother laughed happily.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and Zhou Jiao remembered Zhang Ziwen's wedding banquet, Mother, did the eldest sister explain how many tables will be held tomorrow? Shall we go back to the county early?

Zhang's mother shook her head, No, the banquet will be held tomorrow night. We will have time to go back tomorrow afternoon. Your elder sister's family will have two tables. There are too few to sit. She said that this time there is seafood, so she will open a few more tables. I didn't ask her for details.

Zhou Jiao clicked her tongue secretly: If there are two tables, wouldn't the whole family go to the county seat? I really plan to hit the autumn wind! But it's not surprising to think that my family is also a family.

Well, don't look at people with double eyes.

Ziwen's father was so happy that he even invited the old team leader and patriarch. Fortunately, there is food in the yard now, so it would cost a lot of money.

Zhou Jiao smiled. It is human nature for accountant Zhang to think about face. As an old man, seeing his grandson's success, and the grandson who will inherit his mantle in the future, he must wake up laughing in his sleep.

If you ask me, there's no need to go through such troubles. The child still has a long way to go, so it's not good to make it too lively. This is not about marrying a daughter-in-law. After a meal, your eldest sister's family will be short of food supplies.

Speaking of the rations at the wedding banquet, Zhou Jiao immediately thought of one thing. She smiled and said, Mom, now when holding weddings in the capital, people pay attention to swearing an oath in front of the chairman's portrait, and it's over after eating a piece of wedding candy. Last year I accompanied several people, and only one family held a banquet in the cafeteria. One person, one steamed bun, one table Three vegetarian dishes, one meat dish and cabbage soup, there are twelve people seated. Before I can move my chopsticks, there is only one bowl of soup left.

After hearing this, Mother Zhang put down the bamboo pole, frowned and shook her head, and said, The water splashed by my married daughter is really hard to say for me as a married woman. I don't know if your elder sister knows it well?

Zhou Jiao immediately patted herself angrily, her mother-in-law misunderstood.

She hurriedly said: Mother, there are customs in different places. The eldest sister must follow our rules. She will not be caught by anyone. Isn't brother going to the county today? He will definitely go to the eldest sister. With him, no Something will happen.

Oh, I'm not worried if you don't mention this bad boy, but when you mention him, I'm even more worried. You won't run around all over again, will you? Why is this kid so stupid?

Zhou Jiao saw that she was running around in a hurry, and then heard Xizi and the others talking outside, she didn't intend to do it herself, and walked out with Zhang's mother on her arm.

She comforted her as she walked, Mother, brother, he has attended many banquets, and there is nothing he doesn't know about it. Besides, now that the elder sister has her in-laws at home, brother will not interfere with their Zhang family's affairs. Don't worry, Didn't I just say, your old son is up to you, he is very smart.

Auntie, why didn't you tell us to come over?

That is, you and my grandma go to rest, we don't have to wait for dinner, we can take care of it.

Zhou Jiao looked at these children and nodded with a smile, Okay. Then you all be careful and pay attention to safety. I will steam red date cakes for you to try in the afternoon.

Xiao Zuoyou jumped up happily, Auntie, steam more.

Little aunt, let's catch loaches and touch snails in the afternoon.

good.

Just pamper them. Go to the nursing home and give a shout after you're done. After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Jiao, Go, let's see how your sister-in-law and the others follow the etiquette. You also look like them.

Zhou Jiao was secretly annoyed why she was so out of standard today. If she had known that she was going to discuss the gift, she might as well pick fruit with the children.
