There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

On the other side of the field ridge, Father Zhang watched the rice seedlings grow vigorously in the rice fields, and he felt unspeakable joy in his heart. For old farmers, there is nothing more exciting than a good harvest.

It won't be long before the rice blossoms are fragrant, and the spikes will start to fill. When autumn comes, the sweet rice will also come.

Uncle Zhang raised his head to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and saw his second brother bending over in front of him, touching the ears of rice with silly joy, and couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's really enough to panic.

What's silly? It's not for you.

Father Zhang straightened up, smiled and walked towards him.

Are you looking for me in the morning? What's the matter?

It's nothing serious. I haven't seen you for a few days. I want to chat with the three of us. Brother, let's go home with the youngest after work.

Didn't you wear your red sleeves to patrol the streets today?

Hahaha...someone has to rest. Father Zhang couldn't get used to the sourness in his words, looked ahead and immediately quickened his pace, I'll go find the old captain first, and we'll talk later.

The old captain had heard Zhang's father's loud voice a long time ago, saw him walking towards him in a hurry, took a few steps to meet him, and said with a smile: What's the happy event?

No wonder the old captain asked this question.

This second child's family has never stopped happy events. Since the three sons went to the county seat, either the son and daughter-in-law were admitted to college, or the grandson went to college; when others gave birth to sons, their family had twins;

Father Zhang looked around, It's not a big deal. This year seems to be another bumper harvest.

The old captain looked into the distance and nodded cheerfully, It should fill everyone's stomachs. What's wrong? Don't want to eat commercial food?

Father Zhang smiled and remained silent.

Have you received a letter from Little Five?

No, he's still studying in the military academy, and now it's our Jiaojiao who wrote the letter back.

Good luck! The old captain smiled and said, Are you going there this year, or are they coming back?

It's hard to say, the young couple urged me to go with his mother, but how can it compare to our hometown outside? First, let's see if the young couple have any holidays. Xiao Wu's twins haven't come to visit my father's grave yet.

The old captain smiled and shook his head. This man is really unpredictable. Who would have thought that Zhang Erer, who faced the loess and the north, would have this day.

If it's convenient, let them come back. This year, I plan to push away those thatched houses in the village, build a new yard along the village entrance, clean up the village, and open up all the extra open space for planting.

Father Zhang is not at all surprised by the old captain's thoughts. With the beverage factory, there is a lot of cash in the village account, which will be distributed after the busy farming season, and each family can share a lot.

Thinking of this, he dragged the old captain away.

The old captain knew something was wrong when he saw it, and he didn't say anything. After they found a place, they quietly waited for him to speak.

I heard some rumors, and I don't know if it's true. Father Zhang pondered for a while, but still didn't intend to mention the brother Zhao Chuanguang.

Tell me about it.

Father Zhang glanced at him, I heard that we plan to reconcile the accounts.

Oh, this matter. The old captain smiled, It's okay, our village's accounts are kept clear by Shitou.

How can it be so simple? Father Zhang thinks more than the old captain. The other production teams are starving, and you still have a surplus in your accounts, so if someone with bad intentions comes, you will still be framed.

The old captain looked at him hesitantly, Is there anything else? We have been poor for generations, and we have nothing to be afraid of.

Hey... what you said makes sense. Father Zhang didn't mention the account again after thinking about it, but he still emphasized his tone, I don't intend to tell anyone else about this except you.

That is to keep it secret, the old captain promised that he would not publicize it.

After Father Zhang left, he took out his long pipe and squatted on the ground, pressed the shredded tobacco and took a deep breath, looking at the commune members who were bowing their waists and pulling out weeds with both hands on the rice field.

In front of Zhang's father just now, the old captain didn't show a trace of surprise, but he was already extremely irritable. What kind of person is Zhang Dayou?

He can count!

For Zhang Dayou to come back and say such a few words, he knew in his heart that this matter was not as simple as heard, maybe it was more serious.

Sigh... After tossing and tossing, I finally managed to have a good year. I hope I won't make another ten thousand catties per mu. There is still no surplus in the account.

Uncle Zhang in the distance washed his hands and frowned as he watched his second brother run to the third brother to help. A lot of age, I don't know how to take it easy.

While strolling up to the old captain, he asked in a low voice, Did the second brother give you a problem?

The old captain smiled and shook his head, secretly glad that he didn't rush to the team to check the accounts just now. He is the captain, so he can't be messed up. No matter what happens, everyone can feel at ease only if he is stable.

Uncle Zhang looked at him suspiciously.

Don't guess. Is there anything else in his family that I, a muddy leg, can help? Your second brother can eat well in the county, let alone in the commune.

Besides, it's not like you don't know about his temperament. He is happy all day long, and he doesn't like to make enemies with others. It's impossible for us to pull people together to fight.

Uncle Zhang laughed happily when he heard the words, You might as well just say that the second child is cowardly.

Counseling? The old captain smiled disapprovingly. As the saying goes, The boss is naive, the second is treacherous, and the third is a good person. Even if Zhang's second is not a villain, he has a lot of money in his stomach.

My father said that my second brother was too mild-tempered when he was still alive. I think it's pretty good. The children in his family can follow his temper. If he is really irritable, he can't fight every day.

Over there, Father Zhang felt at ease after finishing the work, and he walked to Uncle Zhang, Third brother, drink your saliva first, and I will do it for a while.

Uncle Zhang looked at him amusedly, As for?

Stop talking nonsense! You look like you're sweating profusely. When you eat at home at noon, your second sister-in-law burned catfish and stewed eggplant. How about we three brothers have a drink?

Okay, why don't you go to such a good job. Uncle Zhang was not polite, seeing that his second brother had already started to work, he also bent down to continue.

When will you go back this time?

Let's go when it's almost dark.

Then what are you doing here? Toss around. Uncle Zhang finished speaking, looked left and right, and lowered his voice, No matter how much you do, you won't be given any rations.

You don't understand, my feet are in the mud, and I feel comfortable.

Uncle Zhang looked up at the red sun in the sky and shook his head.

He really can't understand, who are these people?

After waiting for an hour, how comfortable is it to be sweating and sweating under the scorching sun? The sweat flowed into the eyes, stinging the eyes, and the arms and back were scorchingly painful, still comfortable?

Third brother, are you happy when you see a large crop? I am in the same mood as you. With a good harvest, not only will your life be better, but everyone's life will be better.

Now, there are no more devils coming to rob, no more bandits going down the mountain to grab food, as long as they are not expropriated, these are our common people's own.
