My sister-in-law's eldest brother, Huang Yaozong, worked at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Her second brother, Huang Yaoguo, drove for the county textile factory and frequently traveled on business, often sending defective goods and snacks. If someone was powerful, no one would bother with Lin Juhua. Even when they argued, his mother would side with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law gave in because she feared the quarrels between the sisters-in-law would affect the relationship between her husband and his brothers.

His eldest sister-in-law, Huang Cuilan, had given birth to three sons and a daughter, and was a powerful figure in the countryside, especially in Zhang's family. The first two brothers of the Huang family both lived in the factory and had jobs. The Huang parents, left behind in the countryside, refused to go to the city, arguing that it was too crowded. The eldest brother's three sons often stayed at his maternal home. Even though they were young, they knew what was good for them. They also knew that their maternal family loved them, and occasionally they would go and stay with their cousins ​​for a few days. The old couple felt it was too quiet to live alone, and they were happy for their children to visit. Clothes for these children were all provided by his maternal family, who were kind enough to say that the textile factory had a lot of defective products, so they made some for the children. In those days, everything was redundant, and the country was in short supply, especially fabric.

Zhang Guoqing is 12 years younger than his eldest brother. He was raised by his eldest brother since childhood. His eldest brother always said that he was the eldest son and was a steady and honest person. It was because of his good character and the Zhang family had a very strong gene for not having ugly people. The men were handsome and the women were pretty that he was favored by the Yue family.

He has been close to his eldest brother since he was a child, while his second brother has been hostile to him since he was a child. When his grandparents were alive, he was the only one favored except for his eldest cousin from his uncle's family, not to mention that his parents loved him deeply in their old age. Fortunately, Zhang Guoqing was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child and did not grow up astray.

On the morning that Zhang Guoqing was born, Grandpa Zhang, who had returned from the county town, had just heard that the Battle of Taierzhuang was a victory and people were celebrating with joy. Grandpa Zhang directly named him Zhang Guoqing and said that the child would hear about the great news as soon as he was reborn.

His eldest brother is Zhang Guofu, his second brother is Zhang Guoqiang, he is Zhang Guoqing, and he has two sisters, the eldest sister Zhang Meili and the second sister Zhang Meihao. These two sisters are said to be village beauties and married into good families.

My eldest sister married the youngest son of the village party secretary, with whom she grew up. Now the couple also works in the county textile factory and has three children, two boys and one girl.

As for Zhang Guoqing's second sister, who is four years older than him, and her husband, the story is quite interesting. The second sister often visited the eldest sister's home to deliver gifts, and the second brother-in-law probably fell in love at first sight. After many twists and turns, he found her buddy, Huang Yaoguo, the eldest sister-in-law's second brother, who introduced her. At the time, he was too embarrassed to ask the eldest sister for marriage. It was only later, when he was drunk at the wedding, that everyone learned about it.

My second sister-in-law's husband is an only child, and his parents also work in a textile factory. My second sister married into the family and found an opportunity to work there as a temporary worker. Now, the whole family works in the factory, with only one son. Fortunately, it's the 1950s. If it were the 1990s, the whole family would have been laid off.

Overall, the Zhang family lived a good life, one of the best in the village. The only problem was the second son's naiveté, insisting on finding Lin Juhua. Lin Juhua was lazy, gossipy, and easily offended. She frequently asked for leave from work in the fields, and her parents frequently came to ask for money. Lin Juhua loved her parents, but the couple often argued over trivial matters, leaving the whole family uneasy.

The family originally planned to separate after Xiaowu got married, but Zhou Jiao became pregnant at the right time. Zhang's mother was worried about the young couple, so they decided to separate after the baby's 100th day, which happened to be the beginning of the spring after the New Year.

This was Zhang Guoqing's memory of the Zhang family. His parents were open-minded, and with the exception of his second son and his wife, the family was harmonious. Growing up in an orphanage, he hadn't experienced that, but now, thinking about his future with parents, siblings, he felt happy. Besides the scenes he remembered, he also realized that all his nephews had gone to his eldest brother's father-in-law's house and had been there for four or five days. He even brought his second brother's son, Little Stone, with him, though in his original memory, Little Stone often bullied his brothers. There were many other things and people he needed to observe and understand for himself. Perhaps Zhang Guoqing's previous thinking was biased. For example, hadn't Zhang Guoqing secretly saved his own money? Why did he still think his second brother was selfish for not turning it over?

No matter what the reason was for the couple to come here, being alive was enough. They had no nostalgia for their previous life, except for the huge fortune. Their grandfather had passed away, and the Zhang family meant nothing to them. They only remembered the old housekeeper.

Besides, there's nothing much to miss about Zhou Jiao's family. During the last period, they cried and made a scene for money. Without telling Zhou Jiao, I secretly transferred 500,000 yuan to them and told them that I would not be responsible for their retirement in the future. Fortunately, I came here, otherwise I was really worried that Zhou Jiao would be upset if she knew.

At this point, Zhang Guoqing still didn't know about his and Zhou's affairs after their death, but the Zhou family had already appealed. Even if they knew, there was nothing they could do; no one could go back.

It was gradually getting dark. It had been two hours since Zhou Jiao had eaten her noodles inside, and she hadn't heard a single cry. Zhang Guoqing began to panic, truly fearing an accident. If Zhou Jiao and the child weren't in this strange world, he would still have let them go. The thought in his mind made him even more flustered: "Jiaojiao, are you okay? Why aren't you screaming? Just say something to me."

Zhou Jiao's stomach was in great pain now. In order to save energy, she dared not respond. She followed the midwife's instructions, took a deep breath, and then pushed down with all her strength.

"Hurry, hurry, push harder, I can see the end, push harder, and the baby will come out."

Zhou Jiao felt that her whole body had lost all feeling. She instinctively exerted force, and as the things in her lower body slid down, the child started crying loudly. She finally felt relieved and fainted. She swore that she would never give birth again. It was so damn painful.

The midwife wrapped the baby and came out to congratulate: "Brother Zhang, your Xiaowu has a son. It's a big fat boy, weighing more than 6 kilograms."

Zhang Guoqing didn't have time to look at his son and hurriedly took the opportunity to slip into the room. As a result, he saw Zhou Jiao sweating profusely, her face was pale, and she didn't respond when he called her. He was very anxious.

"It's okay, Xiaowu, don't wake her. She's exhausted. Let her sleep first. She'll wake up after a good sleep. Remember to let her eat when she wakes up. Take good care of yourself. If you have any questions, ask your mother. All the babies your mother gave birth to are healthy." The midwife gave the instructions and happily left with the big red envelope. The Zhang family was very kind. No matter the baby was a boy or a girl, they gave the same red envelope to everyone in the surrounding villages.

"Xiaowu, look at your son. He really looks like you. You looked exactly like him when you were born. Oh, my little baby! I hope you grow up quickly." Mother Zhang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She looked at everything beautiful.

"Mom, look at Jiaojiao, she's all sweaty. I want to help her change her clothes, and the quilt is wet. What should I do?" Zhang Guoqing knew that Zhou Jiao was a little mysophobic, so he had to clean her up before she woke up, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take good care of herself during the confinement period. Look at how thin her little face is.

Zhang's mother glared at her silly son: "Silly, help her change her clothes, and then wipe her with hot water. Remember to use hot water, and wipe her quickly. Change all the quilt covers and sheets later, and I'll wash the ones I've changed tomorrow."

Zhang Guoqing hurriedly followed his instructions, carrying her to the bed in the room, lowering his head and kissing her. "You've worked so hard!" Zhang's mother followed suit, carrying the child. She placed the child to Zhou Jiao's left and told her son to eat. The lump on his head hadn't gone away yet, so after eating, he lay down and rested with Zhou Jiao. Zhang Guoqing was embarrassed; he also wanted to accompany her during the confinement period.

Now I can finally take care of my son. I can eat later, but I still need to take care of him first. Hmm, he's definitely prettier than other children. He's also more well-behaved. He often sees children at the orphanage, the ones who cry a lot and are skinny. Look at my own son, he's so handsome! I need to talk to Jiaojiao about picking a nice name that's worthy of our son.

Zhang Guoqing is now in full Chinese silly dad mode.
