There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

　　 Zhang Guoqing rode his bicycle to the county seat. The county seat was like a colorless photo, with a gray sky, muddy roads, and big red slogans on the walls of houses on both sides of the road. As soon as I entered the county seat, I took a closer look and saw that there have been a lot of posters and large red slogans on the wall in the corners of the city these days. Almost all men, women and children on the street are dressed in patched plain colors. Clothes, in groups of people in twos and threes on the street wearing yellow military uniforms, yellow military caps, red armbands, yellow satchels, Jiefang shoes, holding paint buckets in their hands, and sprayers and other objects, which are pasted on the wall with cut paper patterns , And spray a few more times with a sprayer.

In the morning, I didn’t notice it in a hurry. There were a lot of new slogans on it, “Be motivated, strive for the upper reaches, and build socialism quickly and economically.” “Follow the anti-rightist struggle to the end” and so on. Shining in the sun.

There are some wild fruits that sell persimmons, pears and some "bitter girls" on the streets of the county town. Zhang Guoqing can't help stopping the car when he sees "bitter girls". This thing is especially sweet when it gets frosted. After buying some fruits, Jiaojiao loves to eat these wild fruits.

The speakers in the streets and alleys of the county seat played revolutionary songs, accompanied by the babble of mechanical deployment. "Dongfanghong, the sun rises,,,,,," Zhang Guoqing followed it, co-authored and rode all the way to the county textile factory. go with.

　　 County Textile Factory is the largest factory in the county seat. There are more than 1,000 workers. It has a towel workshop and a cotton workshop. It covers an area of ​​20 hectares and is located on the eastern outskirts of the city. Before liberation, it was owned by the county capitalist Wang million. Later, it was transformed into a state-owned collective enterprise.

　　Before liberation, with this factory, Wang Wanwan occupies a street of shops in the most prosperous downtown area of ​​the provincial capital. His cotton cloths and towels were first sold in the three northeastern provinces.

　　 In the textile factory near the county seat, there is a five-entry courtyard house that is his ancestral home. Many small yards around him were built by the people who depended on him. After being liquidated in 52 years, the courtyard was separated by the management of the local department and distributed to the first batch of old employees of the textile factory.

Wang Baiwan had an extremely tortuous life. He was very sick and weak. He also had a younger brother who was much younger than him. When he was young, he rushed to Shanghai by himself and dared to stand on the beach in Shanghai. He also married the only daughter of a large family. After the old husband passed away, he returned to Wangjia Village in the mountain with his wife, children, and wealth. He immediately took his family to buy the entire eastern suburbs in the county town and built five Entered the courtyard and established the largest textile factory in Northeast China at that time. At the peak of his career, his family employed more than 2,000 people.

　　 He had only one wife in his life, and gave birth to 3 sons and 2 daughters. When Yuan Shikai was about to become the throne, he sent his young son and daughter last year to study in England at the time, accompanied by his younger brother's family.

　　 He and his wife formulated the family rules, stipulating that the children in the family, regardless of male or female, must be at least 10 years old. After studying the Four Classics and Five Books, they will be sent to England to continue their studies. In the end, they will leave the youngest son to accompany them. Children who go abroad also come back only once in 3-5 years. On September 18, after sending his youngest son and his family to go abroad, the husband and wife were left in their homeland. When the situation was not right, a large number of industries were closed, leaving only the county textile factory. After the little devil came, he occupied the county textile factory. After the liberation of the whole country, the husband and wife died similarly in 52 years of liquidation. He saved countless lives in his life, his children have become a mystery, and his family wealth is even more a mystery.

Old man Zhang, the concierge at the factory entrance, knew Zhang Guoqing. He often came to see his two sisters and brother-in-law. When he saw him riding a bicycle, he shouted: "How come you have time to come over today? I heard that you are married with your daughter-in-law, why didn't you call? I'm going to have a drink too."

"Uncle Zhang, you are a busy man. If I really ask you to go, I will not be particular. I will ask you from a younger generation. Why go to the countryside? When you are free, my father and I will go out for a drink. , As long as you greet me, I will be there." Zhang Guoqing smiled and said to the concierge, stopped the car and asked: "Which workshop is my eldest brother-in-law? I have something to do with him."

　　 "Okay, I use the horn to shout. You come in and wait." The concierge Uncle Zhang said and went in.

　　 After a while the horn sounded, "Comrade Zhang Chunming, someone is waiting at the concierge. Comrade Zhang Chunming, please come to the concierge. There are guests waiting. Call Comrade Zhang Chunming, there are guests waiting for you in the concierge."

　　 yelled three times in a row. Zhang Guoqing was ashamed to hear it, and now the whole factory can hear it.

　　 "Uncle Zhang, is Huang Yaoguo driving in the factory today?"

　　 Uncle Zhang thinks about it, but he has no impression. I haven't seen it today, "I haven't seen it today, don't you know, can I shout for you?"

　　 "Don't do it, it's not a matter of urgency. Go back to his house and look for it. This always makes people at work, and the influence is not good. If the leader hears it, you are embarrassed."

"You kid is good for that, for the sake of others. My son came to Master Huang's house in the towel workshop. The good guy asked me to call out five people at a time. At that time, he just led out and saw that even I was criticized." Uncle Zhang said with a sigh.

　　 "Yes, now I am handing in tasks, and getting on the machine is delaying time. Everyone is working hard to build socialism. It is imperative that every household is busy."

Zhang Chunming saw the concierge from a distance. His brother-in-law Zhang Guoqing was chatting enthusiastically with the concierge Lao Zhang. Zhang is usually silent and always keeps that square face, so he has this skill since childhood. Anyone can find a topic chat with them.

　　 "Xiao Wu, what's the matter with me? Didn't you just come in the morning?" He was still more confused. After washing three times in a few days, he saw him and he had to ride over.

　　 Zhang Guoqing saw him and said to Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, when will I be free tomorrow, where will my father go for a drink? I found my brother-in-law, thank you today."

　　 Zhang Guoqing took his eldest brother-in-law to avoid people, walked to a remote place~www.novelmtl.com~ to see no one, then took out 30 ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Big brother-in-law, you really are. You can't use it so politely with me. After listening to my second sister, I know that buying a house is a big deal. It's 300 yuan. If you count it, you still have 200 yuan in your pocket. , I’m not in a hurry to use this money. It’s okay to use it for two or three years. Don’t worry about it, but you can’t be harsh on my nephews. Whenever it’s convenient for you, you can give it to me if you have more money. You can give it to the big yard. I have to buy it as soon as possible. The place is unsuccessful and the location is good. Besides, it’s getting cold in winter, and my nephew can’t sleep in the living room. When I move, remember to call some of our brothers over to help."

Zhang Chunming took the money and counted it, nodded and then shook his head, "300 yuan is enough. In the morning, I will go to the yard with your sister and the others and have a good talk with each other. That person is also a refreshing person, and he talked about furniture. I left everything. This time I went to the son of the provincial capital. The furniture was not easy to bring. They only took away food and clothes, and the price dropped by 920 yuan. The deposit has been paid, and the transfer is scheduled for time. I will go to change the house on Monday. Hey, brother-in-law doesn’t say thank you for those kind words, don’t worry about your brother-in-law, just let your eldest sister and I’s salary plus the old house rent out, you can pay it off in less than a year, and it won’t be harsh on your nephews. Just move. The yard has everything. The house that lives here is small and there are few things. When you wait for the greenhouse, you should come to have a few drinks."

　　 Zhang Guoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go first, I need to find me, I have great strength." He also rushed to the supply and marketing agency, "Brother-in-law, go in, come and help early on the third day of the wash."

　　 Zhang Chunming waved goodbye, "Okay, both our house and your second sister's house will go early. You should ride your bike carefully."

　　 Zhang Guoqing rode his bicycle past the door of the textile factory and greeted Uncle Zhang, the concierge, and rode to the county supply and marketing agency.
