Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Qiao Hongmei felt a little embarrassed. She had come twice and had eaten the food twice. This time was even more excessive.

She wanted to take some home after eating, but she said she didn't want anything and turned around to put the cakes back on the table. "You little girls, why are you trying this?

I've already eaten it, so there's really no need to take more. Listen to your aunt and keep it for yourself. It won't go bad in such a cold weather."

Ouyang Yan took the opportunity to quickly lock the door of the kitchen and said, "Aunt, take it back and let your family taste it.

You said that if we bought it specially, we would understand if you didn't accept it, right? It takes a lot of effort to make this thing, and it's not worth much.

Didn't your grandchildren come back tonight? Children love this food, let them have a try too."

Since they were talking about children, Qiao Hongmei couldn't refuse now. She was thinking about inviting these people back for a meal.

I was also afraid that these girls might bring some stuff with them, so I finally made up my mind to go to the commune in a few days.

I bought some meat and made some sauerkraut dumplings for them, and let the girls taste my cooking skills.

"Okay, I'll accept it shamelessly. I'll take it back and let the other guys have a taste. You guys shouldn't do this again in the future.

It's not easy for you to come here from so far away. If those educated youth come to cause trouble again, just go and call us.

Your uncle said that he would let them do more work after the spring, so that they wouldn't be idle all day and look for work everywhere."

"Auntie, wait a minute. Let's get a scarf before we go out. Without a scarf, we'll always feel the cold wind blowing into our necks."

Several people walked side by side on the small road in the village. They met many unfamiliar villagers. Qiao Hongmei introduced them one by one.

They were all very well-behaved. The older ones called them grandpa and grandma, and the middle-aged ones called them uncle and aunt. It didn't take long for them to gain a lot of impression in front of the villagers.

During dinner, many people were criticizing Diao Caishu and other old educated youth, asking how they could have the heart to bully such well-behaved girls.

They were all muttering in their hearts that if they encountered these people bullying others again, they would definitely ask the captain to give them a good lesson.

It would be best if they could take over the job of digging out manure in the village. When they were almost at the entrance of the village,

Qiao Hongmei pointed to five houses not far away and said, "Look, that's the carpenter's house. He works during the busy farming season.

During the slack season like this, I would make some small things at home every day, and sometimes I would take them out to exchange with others for some useful things at home.

The carpenter's name is Tian Wangyuan, you can just call him Uncle Tian. He was also a poor man who fled from famine to our Qingshan Brigade. He has been in our village for more than 20 years.

He was alone, so he settled down here. His wife is Fan Yuelan from our team. You can just call her Aunt Fan.

The wood is all from the mountains, he just charges a labor fee, if you don't find something you like, just tell him it's just a little more work."

When they arrived at the door, Qiao Hongmei chatted with the carpenter's wife about family matters and then went back to cook.

"My dear young educated youth, are all you city dwellers so pretty? Why do you seem to be prettier than the other?

Come in and take a look. The head of the house has some educated youths coming to pick out furniture. Go in and choose for yourselves.

It's been a while since I've made any noise. He's just studying his wood in the house. Just go into that room. If you find something suitable, I can bring it to your house today. I'll go and get busy now."

Ouyang Qing thought that this Aunt Fan was also a natural and familiar person, so he said everything by himself: "Aunt, you go and do your work first! We will go find Uncle Tian ourselves."

When they entered the house, they saw a middle-aged man planing wood. His body was covered with sawdust. He looked up at them.

"You guys take a look first to see if there's anything you like or need. I'll come over when I'm done with my work."

Ouyang Yan saw that he was busy with the work at hand and was so serious, "Uncle Tian, ​​it's okay for you to do it first, we are not in a hurry and will take our time to see it."

I looked through everything in the house and finally picked out three cabinets to store snacks and food.

2 wooden boxes, a small basin for washing vegetables, a larger rolling board, and a fence for raising chickens.

Ouyang Qing drew a simple pattern on the paper, which was a floor-standing clothes hanger: "Uncle Tian, ​​can you help me make one? I want to use it to hang clothes."

Carpenter Tian took the blueprint in his hand and looked at it. "This is very simple and can be done in two days."

"Qingqing, your method is really good. Uncle Tian, ​​please help me make one too."

"I want it too, I want it too. You two can't leave me behind, Uncle Tian. Please send me over when the time comes."

Carpenter Tian didn't expect that the three female educated youth would be so generous and buy so many things at once. These custom-made items would keep him busy for a while.

"No trouble, I'll send these to you now. I'll send the ones I made to order later.

It will take about 5-6 days. I will try my best to finish the fence for you. It will be one or two days late at most."

When they arrived, they thought they would have to wait a long time for everything, but they didn't expect that Carpenter Tian actually had so many ready-made items at home.

"Uncle Tian, ​​please calculate how much all this is. I will pay you in advance, and the rest will be ready when you are done.

Can you send it to our home together?" Ouyang Qing said as he took out the money from his pocket.

After putting away the money, Carpenter Tian went to call his wife. Such a big cabinet was difficult for a female comrade to move, and it was not appropriate for a grown man like him to go into the house alone.

It is most appropriate to call him his wife. Fan Yuelan accepted the money handed over by her husband, and she felt so happy. These educated youths are rich.

He bought so many things in no time, and put the money in his pocket. "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go get the cart ready, I'll put out the fire in the stove and then I'll go."

The couple moved quickly and soon moved all the things onto the cart. They pushed and pulled the cart and followed the others to the yard.

It was then that Carpenter Tian realized that Ouyang Qing and his companions were the owners of this courtyard. The person who got on the car was a soldier who was going to pick up the things he had bought.

I bought quite a lot at one time, and I didn't expect that I could make a fortune when people came. "So you girls live here,

So the one who went to my house before was your eldest brother, right? You bought all these old things in your yard from me.

Wherever you put your things, we will help you carry them in first."

After putting all the cabinets into the house, the couple pushed the cart away. They also agreed to come and deliver the goods to them in the morning a few days later and asked them to wait at home that day.

After the people left, a few people fetched water and started to clean the cupboard. Since the cupboard had been cleaned in advance, there was no peculiar smell. A few people then carried the boxes to the backyard and replaced the large basin containing the frozen meat.

"Ouyang Qing cleaned the large basin he had used and placed it in the corner: "If we have nothing to do tomorrow, why don't we make dumplings and freeze them at home?

Sister Yanyan, let’s make a meal of mutton tomorrow, what do you think?”

In the courtyard, they were still discussing tomorrow's affairs. At the educated youth camp, Wang Nianke and Shao Yiyi were also busy moving. After taking a nap, they carried their things to the captain's house.

He explained that he also wanted to build a house. Fan Dayong's original words at that time were, "If you really want to build it, you can build it now, while it hasn't snowed heavily yet."

You can heat up the foundation first, then lay the foundation, which is a bit more work and costs a few dollars more. They only built two rooms.

If we start construction in the next two days, we can build the house before the heavy snow. The two of them had already discussed it when they came, and they gave the money for building the house to the team leader in advance and asked him to help with it.

They were also willing to pay more wages, and finally asked Fan Dayong if he could help them find a better family to rent a house with first.

Move out when the house is built. Fan Dayong thought about it for a long time and finally thought of the home of Mr. Fan in the same village. There are only an old couple and two children in their family.

There was no gossip in the family, and the two educated youth seemed kind. Renting the house for a while could also add some income to their income.

After explaining the situation at Uncle Fan's home to the two of them, he took them directly to Uncle Fan's home.

The old couple, Uncle Fan and Aunt Zhao, were naturally happy. The educated youth had built a new house, so they could sell some vegetables and collect some rent.
