Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Mother Zhou showed a meaningful smile. Ouyang Heng could only complain about his second brother and mother in his heart, "What do I know? I don't want to understand! I can't afford to offend anyone in this family. Forget it, I'd better be a parasite in peace! Ouyang Zhen looked at the two sons in front of him who were already taller than him, and smiled happily, "Abai and Azhou are at home today. You two brothers, please accompany me for a drink." Ouyang Zhen took out the white wine and three wine glasses that his daughter had prepared for him from the cupboard and placed them on the table.

The meal was enough to satisfy everyone. Of course, Ouyang was even happier because it was a real family reunion dinner for him since he came here. Zhou's mother was even happier. The children were all by her side, and they were all sitting together happily eating. How could she not be happy? It can be said that Zhou's mother had been smiling since Ouyang Bo came back.

At noon, the family agreed that the second and fourth brothers would wash the dishes in the evening. Ouyang Bo wanted to help when he saw his two younger brothers washing dishes together, but was stopped by Zhou's mother, who advised, "Bo, you must be very tired after taking the train these few days. Go take a shower and have a good rest. I have even prepared some clean clothes for you." Ouyang Zhou and Ouyang Heng also told their eldest brother to go to rest early, as they would be done here in a moment.

Ouyang Zhen was too happy that his eldest son came back to celebrate the New Year today, so he drank a few more glasses. Seeing that her husband was happy today, Zhou's mother did not stop him. Ouyang Bai helped his slightly drunk father back to the room. While the eldest son was helping his husband, Zhou's mother brought a basin of warm water in the washbasin, and helped her husband wash up simply before he fell asleep. Ouyang Bai looked at his sister who had grown into a beautiful young lady. When he went to the army, his younger sister had not even graduated from elementary school, but in the blink of an eye, she had become a big girl.

In fact, Ouyang Bo has always liked his delicate and soft sister more than his two younger brothers. He still remembers the first time his sister called him brother in a soft and tender voice when she was very young. His heart almost melted at that time. During the years when he was in the army, if he had the chance to come across something that girls liked outside, he would buy it and send it back as soon as possible. Now that his sister has grown up, he suddenly doesn’t know what to say to her.

Ouyang Qing saw that his elder brother wanted to talk to him, but he wanted to speak several times but couldn't, so he said with a smile: "Brother, are you very busy with the training in the army? You didn't come back for the New Year last year. If you don't come back for the New Year this time, my younger brother and I will almost forget about you. Don't work so hard in the army. I saw mom crying after reading the letters you wrote several times. You must take good care of yourself, otherwise if someone bullies me in the future, I still expect you to help me."

Ouyang Bai saw his sister still talking to him the same way as when they were children, and the mist in his heart dissipated. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, little sister. No one will bully you with your big brother here. You can come to my room later. I bought you a gift when I was doing a mission outside." The brother and sister were chatting happily when they saw their mother coming out. Ouyang Bai took the washbasin and towel from their mother's hand, walked quickly to the yard, poured out the water and put it back in place.

Ouyang Bo's room was on the first floor like his parents. Mother Zhou opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes she had prepared for her eldest son and whispered, "Abo, this is what I washed. You can wear this when you take a bath later. This towel is new too, it's been washed. The water on the stove and in the thermos are specially reserved for you to take a bath. Go and take a bath first to refresh yourself. Qingqing and I will make the quilt for you. Go quickly!" Ouyang Bo picked up the clothes and went to the bathroom next to the kitchen. There was a faucet in it. When he saw the second and fourth sons washing dishes, he said that he would go to their rooms to get the gifts later and went to take a bath with the hot water.

Mother Zhou brought a new quilt to spread the bed, and then spread the sheets that she liked in advance. Ouyang Qing took out a new thick woolen quilt from the space. The mother and daughter had spread the quilt before Ouyang Bo washed it. The three brothers returned to the room together. Ouyang Bo picked up the big backpack he brought with him, unzipped it, and first handed a pistol made of a bullet shell to the younger brother: "Xiao Si, haven't you always wanted a pistol of this style? I made it for you when I was free in the army. Now you have one more pistol model collection. Do you like it?"

Ouyang Heng took the pistol from his elder brother and said in surprise: "I like it... Of course I like it! I like every gift you give me. This is my treasure, how can I not like it? Thank you, elder brother." Ouyang Bo took out two small boxes from his backpack and smiled: "Qingqing, when I went to Hai City for a mission before I came back, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative over there. I saw that many girls over there like to apply this in the morning. It seems to be called lipstick. I told the salesperson your age, and she gave me one of this color. I heard that this color is mostly bought by girls like you. It is the same as yours, but the color is also because I saw that others applied it beautifully, so I bought one for you and mom. You can try it. Second brother, I exchanged a watch ticket with my teammates before, and this time I bought you a watch. See if you like it. Mom, this bottle of wine is for dad, you can give it directly to dad!"

Ouyang Zhou picked up the watch and put it on his hand. It was a Seagull watch. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. I like it very much." Ouyang Qing not only tried the lipstick bought by his brother, but also put it on Zhou Ma. He said with a beaming face, "Thank you, brother. I haven't seen anyone here use it. Do you think my mother and I look good?"

Ouyang Bo smiled lightly, "As long as you like it, we are a family, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, I am your eldest brother. As an eldest brother, isn't it my duty to buy gifts for my younger brothers and sisters?" Seeing the bloodshot eyes of her eldest son, Zhou Ma said distressedly, "Okay, your eldest brother must not have had a good rest on the train these days. Let him have a good rest tonight. Your eldest brother can stay at home for more than 10 days this time. Go back to your room. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

In order to let their eldest brother have a good rest, the three siblings took their gifts back to their room. Ouyang Qing tidied up the space, picked up the lipstick that their eldest brother bought for them and put it in a transparent box. This was the first gift their eldest brother gave them since they returned to this era, and they must treasure it well. When Ouyang Bai woke up, Zhou Ma had just got up and was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. In fact, they didn't have to cook anything, as the buns were taken out of their daughter's space last night, so they just had to make porridge.

Then he took out the prepared kimchi from the cellar. As the saying goes: kimchi with porridge has infinite power. After washing up, Ouyang Bai said goodbye to Zhou Ma and went out for a run. This was a habit Ouyang Bai had developed over the years in the army. He would wake up naturally at a certain time every day, do morning exercises and then have breakfast. After Ouyang Bai came back from morning exercises, other people in the family got up one after another. Seeing his eldest brother coming in from outside in a sweat, Ouyang Qing expressed that he was a little envious. It was really just a little bit. There was nothing he could do about it because he was a person who would rather lie down than sit.
