Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Every time I come to the commune, I will definitely visit the state-owned restaurant. I pack several dishes according to the way I come every time.

Today's trip to the commune finally ended. Except for going to the post office where there was no queue, Ouyang Qing felt like shutting himself in because of the queues at other places.

When I was leaving the city, I was still thinking that if I come back in a couple of days, I would definitely bring the two people from my family over to try today's flavor together.

Although the weather is very cold today, the rare sunshine makes people feel very comfortable. When we are about to reach the village,

After finding a secluded place, Ouyang Qing took out the things he had prepared. The bicycle was so heavy that it was impossible to ride.

I decided not to be so greedy and took back some of the food. Anyway, it was not far from home, so I slowly pushed it back to the village. I didn't run into many people in the village at noon.

They ran into the old educated youths who were digging manure. They wanted to take advantage of the courtyard last time. Seeing so many things on Ouyang Qing's bicycle,

My eyes widened, especially the two chickens and two big fish on the handlebars. I couldn't help swallowing just by looking at them.

But this time, no matter how greedy they were, they did not dare to cause trouble for Ouyang Qing. There was no way that the fighting power of a group of them could not match that of Ouyang Qing alone.

They finally convinced the team leader yesterday that they no longer needed to dig out manure during the New Year holidays.

They would talk about it after the New Year. They had promised not to take advantage of others in the future. Even if they were greedy, they would never go to make Ouyang Qing unhappy.

Besides, Ouyang Qing was only unhappy for a short while, and they had to pay a heavy price.

After pushing the cart for a long time, she finally reached the gate of the courtyard. The two people at home also thought that she would be back at about this time.

I was peeling walnuts for making snacks in Ouyang Yan's room. When I heard a knock on the door, I immediately put down the tools in my hands and

The two of them ran to the door, opened the gate of the yard, and saw Ouyang Qing and her fully loaded bicycle.

Even though Qingqing would always bring back something that would shock them every time she went out, Ouyang Yan hurried forward.

They pushed the bicycles back into the yard one after another, and Xiang Xiaoqing then closed the gate tightly.

When they pushed the bicycle to the kitchen door, they were blocked by the frame and could not go in, so the three sisters slowly carried the things on the bicycle back into the kitchen.

First, the fish and chicken on the handlebars, then a bag of rice and flour on the back seat. Ouyang Qing then handed over her bulging backpack.

Finally, the two frames were unloaded. A goose was tied to the side of the frame. When the cart was pushed to the kitchen,

Ouyang Qing immediately slumped down on the stool, while Ouyang Yan quickly brought out the red bean soup warmed in hot water from the big pot.

"Qingqing, this bowl of red bean soup we had at noon is reserved for you. Sit down and take a rest for a while."

No matter how tired Ouyang Qing was, he washed his hands by the water tank before sitting down: "Thank you, Sister Yanyan,

You don't know how many people there are in the supply and marketing cooperatives today. There are queues everywhere. If the weather is good the day before the New Year,

Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look. Sister Yanyan, I was lucky to come across these things today, so I bought one more.

Put the chickens in the chicken coop first, and we can deal with the geese later."

"That's fine~ Xiaoqing, we don't have anything else to do anyway, so we'll deal with the goose later. It can't be kept in a chicken coop."

Xiang Xiaoqing nodded to show that she understood, and put the fish and goose in a large basin, planning to deal with them in the afternoon.

Ouyang Yan put the chickens in the chicken coop so that she could keep the chicks company.

After drinking half a bowl of red bean soup, Ouyang Qing finally recovered some of his strength. Ouyang Yan and the others put the rice and flour into the small jar they had bought earlier.

After covering them with lids, they began to tidy up the boxes. On the top of the two boxes were ingredients for making pastries and a few cans of milk powder.

The following were 30 kilograms of pork and mutton, and they had prepared 10 kilograms of beef for the New Year. Seeing so much meat, they were very surprised.

"Qingqing~ We haven't finished eating the meat at home yet, why did you buy so much again? I'll give you some more money later."

"Me too, Qingqing, the meat we bought for you is definitely not enough. We'll get it for you later. You can't pay for the meat you want us to eat, right?"

Ouyang Qing shook his head helplessly, "Don't think too much, my mother wrote to say that my eldest brother will come here to spend the New Year with us.

If I don't prepare more in advance, how can I have enough food? You know that the army has a big pot of food, so I want to take advantage of the New Year to nourish him.

Don't worry, including my eldest brother's share, the money is enough. By the way, I also bought several bags of brown sugar this time.

We will each take a portion later. Since we all live in the same courtyard, we can prepare a New Year gift for the captain and the village chief.

I bought two extra portions of brown sugar, and put the rest in the cabinets in each room."

After finishing the red bean soup, I took out the packed vegetables and vanishing cream from the cross-body bag and divided them into three portions.

"Qingqing~ I didn't expect you to actually buy glutinous rice flour and osmanthus candy. It looks like we have one more pastry for the New Year.

Qingqing, you are really amazing. I will definitely make a few more different cakes for you to try during the Chinese New Year."

"You wanted it, so I asked with the intention of giving it a try. I didn't expect that I actually bought it. But this is just one can, is there more?"

"This one jar is enough. Thank you, Qingqing. I really like you."

"No, I like the cakes you make. Just make more. Aren't you going to make them as New Year gifts too?

I’ll definitely buy more!”

Ouyang Yan put the meat she bought on the chopping board, planning to cut it up and then put it outside to freeze.

"Now we have both mutton and beef. What kind of soup do you want? I'll make a pot for you first."

"I don't care, let Qingqing decide!"

Ouyang Qing thought for a while, "Let's drink mutton soup! Sister Yanyan, drinking mutton soup in winter is warm.

Just steam some rice in the evening, I packed the vegetables.”

Ouyang Yan nodded to indicate that she understood, and then she began to concentrate on processing the meat.

After sorting the things, Ouyang Qing went to clean the yard. The cut meat would be put in the yard to freeze before being put into the box.

Otherwise, they will easily stick together. "Sister Yanyan, leave some of each type of meat. We will make more dumplings and freeze them tonight.

It will save us from thawing again tomorrow, what do you think? "

Ouyang Yan stopped what she was doing and thought for a while. "Okay, I'll cut these and knead the dough first. You can wrap the stuffing first after it's ready.

Xiaoqing and I will take care of the fish and goose first and then come over to help you."

Xiang Xiaoqing put all the things for making cakes back to her room and came back just in time to hear this.

"I don't care. I've been idle all morning anyway. At worst, we can just sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."

"Then let's be extravagant this time and fill them with pure meat filling. Last time they were all filled with cabbage, and we still have some left.

I have arranged with someone that they will help me deliver some meat and other things to the woods not far from the village in the morning.

When the time comes, you can accompany me to get it. It’s an older sister, and she’s very easy to talk to.”
