Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

"Then let's take a break! We should stay out of these people's business. If we find a suitable one, we will try to move out as soon as possible.

I brought a few industrial tickets with me this time, so I can buy an iron pot. When the time comes, we can build a small kitchen and cook on our own.

We can do the housework together, I believe it won't be too tiring, at least it will give us some peace of mind."

Although what you say is good, it is not easy to find a house that suits your taste. There will always be some friction when eating in the same yard.

"But what if we find a family that we live with for a while and then decide that they are not suitable for us?

Keke~Have you ever considered building a house like Ouyang Qing and the others, so you don't have to live under someone else's roof?

If you agree, we can go to the village chief to find a solution. The two of us can share a room and make the kang bigger so that we can sleep more comfortably.

Let's buy the firewood we need this year, and next year we will go up the mountain to collect it ourselves. I'm strong, so I'll take care of the water-carrying work. You just need to help with cooking a few more meals."

"Okay, let's discuss it after we ask the village chief. I don't want to quarrel with these people every two or three days."

The noisy voice outside the house came again: "Mr. Song, just wait for me, I will not let this matter go."

The quarrel between the two made Ding Zhijian intolerable. Although he was usually a bit confused, he was too impulsive today and did not think carefully.

He followed them. Not to mention others, he heard from several educated youths who came back earlier that Diao Caishu said some unpleasant things after he left.

Just because they didn't let them into the house, how vicious could she be? She wanted to destroy others the first time they met. In his opinion, the punishment given by the village chief was too little.

"Well, if you two keep doing this I'll call the village chief. Are you three-year-old children? You're still quarreling at this age.

Now that things have come to this, the villagers have never had a good impression of us, the educated youth.

Now our educated youth camp has become famous again. Haven't you made enough jokes? Everyone go back to the room and let them fight on their own.

If you two start fighting again, I won’t stop you anymore, and I won’t be involved in the affairs of the educated youth center anymore.”

The two of them glared at each other, their eyes seemed to want to eat each other alive.

Perhaps the words "please ask the village chief" had a deterrent effect, and the two of them went back to their rooms in disappointment after a while.

When Qiao Hongmei returned home, she found that the pot was not burnt as she had expected. She could not help but mutter in her heart,

This old man didn't even remind me when I was running so fast.

He quickly lit the fire and put the pancakes on the table. Then the courtyard door opened and it was Fan Dayong who pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Boss, come on, why didn't you tell me when you put out the fire?"

Fan Dayong didn't expect that his wife could turn the tables on him. If he followed her out, he might not have been able to keep his ears if he hadn't turned off the engine when he came back.

How can you not understand your wife after so many years? The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. "The people at the educated youth camp are getting more and more outrageous.

It seems that the punishment they received before was too light. If the little girl hadn't reacted quickly and responded in time,

If this gossip gets out, wouldn't it hurt people? In the spring, we must assign important tasks to these leading educated youth.

It will save them from having nothing to do every day and just thinking about other people's things."

"It should have been done a long time ago. Look at these people. Sometimes they are more noisy than the old women in our village.

You, my brother and the secretary should discuss this together. If we allow these people to continue making trouble,

What happened has been reported to the commune. Do we still need to be selected as the advanced team member this year? Wash your hands and eat. Do you want to eat here or on the kang? "

Fan Dayong washed his hands and said, "Go eat on the kang. I'll serve it. It's okay if my wife doesn't have to work. I'll just have a glass of wine at noon."

After quickly putting the dishes into a large bowl, the two of them returned to the inner room with the bowls and placed the dishes on the kang table. "I tell you, you can only drink one cup a day. If you drink more, you can go stay at another house."

"When have you ever said I drank one glass too many? The eldest and second sons should be back at night, right?"

Qiao Hongmei took a bite of the mixed grain rice and said, "He must come back. Which of your sons has lived in his mother-in-law's house?

You must come back at night. How much do you miss your grandson? Just wait and see! The house will be lively at night."

The three people in the courtyard were not affected by this incident at all. Ouyang Qing took a short nap and then got up.

I picked up the frozen dumplings on the ground, put them in a cloth bag, and hung them under the eaves at the door of the kitchen.

Thinking that I would need to store sauerkraut later, I cleaned the large jar I bought yesterday and wiped off the remaining water in it.

Dong, dong, dong... Xiang Xiaoqing and the others heard the noise in the yard and hurried out.

"Aunt, you are here."

"Yanyan, did you take a nap this afternoon?"

"I'm asleep. How about you, auntie?"

"I'm not that sleepy at my age, unlike you young people. Are you ready?"

"Okay, we're just waiting for you to come and teach us, let's go in quickly."

Ouyang Qing and Xiang Xiaoqing worked together to move the large bar to the corner of the kitchen, fearing that it would be difficult to move after the marinating was done.

As soon as I finished, I saw two people coming into the room, and they both called out "Auntie" in unison.

"Auntie, we are waiting for you to help us?"

"What's the big deal? The pickled cabbage will accumulate very quickly. Just watch it once and I guarantee you will understand.

The weather is too cold now, and it is not easy to ferment. You guys boil a pot of water first, and we will blanch the cabbage first. "

Xiang Xiaoqing quickly added water to the pot, while Ouyang Yan quickly went to light the fire. The fire burned vigorously and soon the water in the pot boiled.

Qiao Hongmei was doing it while talking. The cabbage she took out of the hot pot soon became cold. "Look, isn't it very simple?

First, compact the bottom of the jar, then sprinkle a layer of salt on it, and repeat this process over and over again. Pickle the cabbages for three days.

Just add cold water into it. The kitchen will be warm for half a month and it will be ready to eat. Go and move that big stone from the corner and wash it clean.

When the water dries up, just put it on top of the sauerkraut. Isn't it very simple? In our area, every household must pickle a jar of this kind of food in the winter.

If there are many people in the family, we can pickle two jars of it and eat it until the beginning of spring. "

"Auntie, come and sit for a while. This is the little pastry I made this morning. Try it and see if it tastes good."

As he spoke, he opened the bamboo basket covering the dishes on the table, and two plates of exquisite snacks appeared in front of Qiao Hongmei.

"Xiao Qing, how did you make such a beautiful pastry? It's so beautiful that I can't even eat it."

"Auntie, no matter how good it looks, it's for people to eat. Please try it. This is Xiaoqing's specialty. Just praise her a few more words later."

Ouyang Qing smiled and said, "Is this mung bean? It's just an ordinary thing. How come you made it so delicious?

Xiaoqing, you look very young, but the cakes you make are even better than those sold at the supply and marketing cooperative."

"Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. My elders in my family know how to make it, and I learned from them when I was young. So I can also make something that is good enough.

I can’t do the rest, I still need to learn, if you like it, eat more.”

Ouyang Qing and his friends mentioned that they wanted to raise some chickens, and asked Qiao Hongmei to help point out the location of the carpenter's house.

There are still some things at home that are not finished, so I want to go to the carpenter's house to take a look.

"I am responsible for the chickens. There is one family in the village that has one, and many families want to catch a few more.

The chicks have just hatched. I will catch them for you in a couple of days so they can be raised. But you also need to build a fence around them.

The chicks are too small, so you can keep them outside during the day. You should catch them and bring them to the kitchen at night.

It's too cold outside at night and the hens will freeze to death without them. I've finished making the pickled vegetables, so I'll go home first. All the children will be home today.

I have to go back early to cook, so you guys should come with me. I will take you to the carpenter's house and you can go and have a look."

Time passed so quickly, it was almost 5 o'clock. Ouyang Qing immediately took out two packages of pastries from the cupboard and stuffed them directly into Qiao Hongmei's hands.

"Aunt, take one portion each to your family and the village chief's uncle's family. This is made by Xiaoqing herself, so I'll give it to you to try.

It's getting late, you can help take it over, so we don't have to make another trip."
