There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

There are three thousand and six big alleys, and the small alleys are more powerful.

This is not just talk, in addition to the large number of people in the ancient city, there are the most alleys.

It is really alleys connecting alleys, alleys within alleys, and alleys on top of alleys. Some places seem to have roads, but in fact they are not. Strangers can easily walk into dead alleys.

In Zhou Jiao's literary terms.

The alleys are long and circuitous, no one knows where the next fork is, just like a person's whole life, where will be the next source, where will be the beginning?

Of course, in Zhang Guoqing's view, an alley is an alley, how can it be compared with the unpredictable life? If you walk a lot and get familiar with it, you will understand it naturally.

Not to mention that in case you go wrong, just pick up an old resident in the narrow and intricate alleys, and he/she can give you enthusiastic directions.

The only regret is that the names of the alleys that I was familiar with, those names with many historical origins and cultural flavors, have changed, and the unfamiliar ones are in a mess.

Just like the original Beibingmasi Hutong, Qin Lao Hutong, Pichai Hutong... all have been changed into a lot of red flags and Dongfang.

But it's not without its good side. For example, the indecent names of Dung Factory Alley and Dog Tail Alley have finally been changed once and for all.

Zhang Guoqing didn't know what other people thought, but he felt that Li Qinglin must be overjoyed. Imagine an acquaintance around you asks where is your home?

The man from the Northeast who is deeply literary and artistic must be gnashing his teeth in his heart. It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory in all likelihood, how can everything make you get what you want.

The young couple was unwilling to accept gifts from their parents. Of course, Zhang Guoqing guessed in his heart that the young couple should be reluctant to give up their due benefits.

No, the housing benefit is enjoyed, but it is also regrettable. There are more than a dozen families in a big house, and it is very lively. It is not the name of the alley, and it is estimated that there will be trouble getting along with the neighbors.

Zhang Guoqing, Zhou Jiao and his wife walked through the alleys and alleys all the way, and it was almost half an hour when they arrived at Li Qinglin's house, and they were sweating in the cold weather.

This is also not very far from the restaurant, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would still be able to persuade his daughter-in-law not to come to this courtyard with false reasons.

If he wants to persuade someone, it is really the same reason as a thief does not go empty-handed. Anyway, no matter how crooked the theory is in the end, it will make people think that there is really no reason to refute it.

The two outermost rooms in the west wing of the courtyard are the small homes of Li Qinglin and Hu Xiaohui. It is said that this is a good place allocated in advance to take care of Hu Xiaohui first.

Now it will be some time before the winter vacation, but there are quite a lot of children, big and small, playing and running wildly in the yard, and the parents who come in and out don't care.

This childhood is really relaxed and comfortable, you can play however you want...

The appearance of Zhang Guoqing in military uniform made everyone in the yard pause for a moment, especially the children staring at him with admiration.

Zhang Guoqing, who was protecting his wife and reminding her to pay attention to the icy and slippery road, looked up at them, greeted them with a nod, and walked to the west side of the yard.

After the snow falls, the place where many people walk is like

It's the young couple from Westinghouse.

It's useless to say that there is no one in our courtyard who is a member of the military.

Brother, I will be a soldier in the future.

Wait until you stop wetting the bed...

Zhang Guoqing and his wife ignored the miscellaneous discussions behind them. After passing through the Moon Gate, the sharp-eyed Zhang Guoqing was the first to notice that Li Qinglin was bending over with coal balls in his hands.

Linzi...

This familiar voice made Li Qinglin turn around quickly, and with a bang, a coal ball was destroyed.

Little Five...

Soon, the buddies hugged each other enthusiastically and giggled.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jiao twitched the corners of her lips speechlessly, left the two foolish people behind, and opened the door with her hands to go inside.

They usually go to their unit to chat, or they go to the compound to reminisce about the past. The young couple of them moved here, except for once when they got married. But don't delay her memorizing the layout inside.

Sure enough, apart from the fact that the words “Happy” were not pasted on the windows and furniture, the inside is still the same as in the impression. It is still a living room and dining room, and the right room opened up is used as a bedroom.

Jiaojiao, come by yourself, Xiaohui will be back soon.

Zhou Jiao was not polite to them who just came in, she found a chair and sat down, Did you go shopping today?

I went, I went to line up in the early morning, and I didn't come back until noon. Xiaohui accompanied me to buy groceries and went to see her mother, and she will be back soon.

Zhang Guoqing gave him a sideways look, Why didn't you go with her? You're so stupid, I don't know how to accompany my wife to the mother-in-law to gain favor with her!

Her mother is at work today.

Zhang Guoqing was too lazy to compete with people with low EQ, so he poured a cup of hot water for his wife to warm her hands.

Are you going back this year?

Zhang Guoqing shook his head, I'm sure I won't be able to do it at the end of the year, and I won't be able to make it to the holidays. How about you?

We may not be able to leave until the 26th of the Lunar New Year. Xiaohui still wants to go back with Jiaojiao. You are not free, and your daughter-in-law will not have a vacation, right?

Can Zhang Guoqing say that he is worried? The two of us have discussed it. First, we will transfer shifts with our colleagues to see if we can catch up with the party on the third day of the first lunar month.

Li Qinglin also knew about the old Zhang family's aunts who married on the third day of the first lunar month returning to their natal homes for a reunion. However, he didn't stay in the capital for nothing in the past few years. In the first month, his mother-in-law and the Bai family came and went for a lot of entertainment. As the only son-in-law of the Zhou family, can the couple really go back?

This is more suitable for Zhou Jiao to explain. She smiled, We are different from the Bai family. My family has no relatives. Except for some group visits, my mother has to bring a group to the grassroots.

As for her father Zhou Xiaozheng, his daily schedule is no longer suitable for revealing his words to the outside world. This year, it is estimated that I will either participate in some celebration party or go to the grassroots level or hide away.

The two of them planned to go back to their hometown, but it was not because they planned to avoid people coming to visit during the first month. At this critical juncture, it is better to deal with less people.

That said, the few of us can still meet in our hometown in the first month of the lunar year. It happens that we go back first. On the second day of junior high, we will go to the provincial capital to pay New Year's greetings and then pick up your family back.

We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's still early, who knows if something will happen and we won't be able to leave. Zhang Guoqing said hastily. If you don't say this, Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao will write it in the letter later, probably his parents will believe it, and if they don't go back, they will not be disappointed?

Besides, if he really went back this first month, he didn't plan to bring his three sons with him. He also plans to play with his little girl and enjoy the two-person world.

Tch, it's so early, my wife has already started packing her luggage. Li Qinglin gave him a disdainful sideways glance, and put this matter aside, anyway, he will meet him when he goes back.

He pointed to the next door and lowered his voice, Have you noticed? There is no one next door.
