Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Chapter 24: Eating meat with my second brother and my younger brother

Seeing that her husband was immersed in the drama when she came in, Zhou Ma said, "Brother Zhen, let's not watch it for now. The two brats will be back soon. Let's get out quickly!" Ouyang Qing took out the fruit tea from the refrigerator and put it on the table. The three of them left the space and came to the kitchen. Zhou Ma first asked Ouyang's father to start a fire, cooked a pot of rice with the rice taken out of the space, and then blocked the gaps in the kitchen windows. She also prepared several rags to block the kitchen door when the two brats came back. Ouyang Qing first put all the dishes on the table, but fortunately they were all cooled in the space so the smell was not that strong. He blocked the doors and windows just to prevent the smell from drifting out when eating later.

Mother Zhou closed the door and left her husband inside watching the fire. She had to give her brat a good talk, otherwise if he accidentally shouted out in the kitchen, what would happen if someone remembered him? Now everyone is short of food, especially since they only eat meat a few times a year. If people find out that your family has so much meat to eat at once, it would be bad if you don't give him meat or give him too little. Otherwise, people would get jealous and report your family. What would you do? Nothing is easy these days, especially when your daughter is hiding such a big secret. You must be extra careful and never give anyone any handle on your family.

These years are the most difficult times, so it is better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, you have to keep the two brats under control before dinner, otherwise they will tell everything, especially Xiao Heng, who is young and easily says the wrong things. On the way home, Ouyang Zhou and Ouyang Heng suddenly felt a chill. Was the temperature dropping? Why did they feel a little cold just now? A strange feeling arose in the hearts of the two brothers at the same time. The first one to return home was Ouyang Zhou, who got home from get off work.

Today he walked home because he and his father worked in the same factory, so usually they would ride their bikes home together. Today he waited for a long time but his father didn’t get off work yet. It was only when he met Uncle Li that he learned that his father had asked for leave in the afternoon. So he walked home, which made him a little late. As soon as he walked in, he saw his mother and sister sitting on the stool at the door. When they saw him come back, they smiled at him, “Mom, why are you sitting at the door? Haven’t you cooked yet? I feel so hungry today! Little sister, you’ve just gotten better, so don’t stay at the door. You’ve just gotten better, so be careful and go back to the house.”

Ouyang Qing stood up and saw how sweet his second brother was. He envied Huanhuan for having a brother since he was a child. Now he not only has a brother, but also a younger brother. Not to mention that his second brother is really good-looking! His second brother is tall, straight and slender, with clear facial lines and distinct facial features. It turns out that his parents' genes are strong. His chin is slender and his lines are soft, giving people a feeling of uninhibited and determination: "Second brother, Dad is cooking and waiting for me to come home. Let's go eat together."

Ouyang Qing had just finished speaking, "Mom, I'm back. Is the meal ready? If you don't eat, your baby son will faint from hunger. Second brother, are you okay? If you want to rest for another day, I'll ask for leave for you." Looking at his brother's round head, Ouyang Qing felt very amused. His brother looked like someone from his grandmother's family. Although he had good facial features and a high nose bridge, he would have two cute dimples on his face when he smiled. This would have been fine, but his brother had a pair of big watery eyes that twinkled, which was very cute.

It can be said that Ouyang Qing grew up being spoiled by her family. In addition to the love of her parents, she also has two older brothers who are too busy. When her younger brother Ouyang Heng was just beginning to understand things, he was especially protective of his beautiful sister. Because he liked his sister in the first place, and was influenced by his two older brothers, he later developed a sister complex, and went further and further on this path: "Okay, little brother, your sister would like to take a day off tomorrow. Thank you in advance." After locking the door and coming back to see her children, Mother Zhou called the two brothers who had just returned into the house.

"I'm telling you two, don't speak loudly in the kitchen later, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for our family, understand?" Mom looked mysterious, Ouyang Zhou felt very strange: "Why is there a fuss about Mom's meal? Do you need to remind me specifically? Did Dad buy a chicken there today because he didn't go to work? It's just a chicken. Don't worry, my little brother and I are not people who have never seen the world." Mother Zhou slapped the second brother's arm twice: "Just listen to what I say, come here and I will tell you."

When Zhou Ma finished whispering about what to eat tonight, the two brothers wanted to speak up, but were glared at by Zhou Ma. They covered their mouths and shook their heads violently, "I'm telling you two, you will forget everything in your dreams tonight. If you go out and do something stupid and bring trouble to the family, you won't have any share of meat in the future, especially Xiaoheng, understand?" The two brothers had their hands covering their mouths yet. Upon hearing this, they first shook their heads, thinking something was wrong, and then nodded vigorously.

Seeing that the two brothers were sensible, Zhou's mother asked the two brothers to put down their hands and go to the kitchen. After entering, Zhou's mother closed the door with her backhand, picked up the rag beside her and blocked the gap in the door. Turning around, she saw the two brothers still in a daze, and couldn't help but find it funny. Xiao Si was still rubbing his eyes, and they were all red. It was still Ouyang's father who couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered, "Why are you two standing there like idiots! Come and eat quickly, don't you want to eat?" Looking at the chicken soup, roasted whole lamb, two plates of fish and a bowl of rice for each on the table, Ouyang Zhou felt that he must be dazzled, otherwise how could there be so many things in front of him that shouldn't appear at the same time? He pinched his arm hard, it hurt, but he was not dreaming.

"Hey, you two silly boys, do you still want to eat? Sit down quickly. I've been waiting for you for so long, do you want me to wait any longer?" The two brothers sat down hurriedly: "If it wasn't for Dad, I would have thought I was dreaming. What day is today? It's so sumptuous. I haven't seen so much meat in a year. If it wasn't for Dad, how could you be willing to buy so much meat and cook it all at once?" While speaking, the second brother did not forget to pick up a piece of lamb leg that his father had cut with a knife. He could smell the rich aroma of lamb and the taste of seasoning he had never tasted before. It was so fresh, spicy and flavorful!

Seeing that the second child still had time to talk, Zhou Ma looked at the fourth child, whose cheeks were already stuffed full. He was really daring to stuff so much. Could he chew all that? "Just talk. If anyone wants to eat meat in the future, don't ask these questions. Otherwise, I won't give you meat in the future if you talk nonsense. Ouyang Zhen looked at his wife who was still talking and served a bowl of chicken and duck soup: "Guilan, eat quickly. Don't say that this chicken soup tastes really good. Drink it quickly to replenish yourself. These two fish dishes are really delicious! Guilan, your cooking skills have improved?" Zhou Ma heard her husband's praise and picked up a few more dishes, "If you like it, eat more. I'll make it for you next time."
