Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

One of the main reasons why Ouyang Qing also came along was that he had already obtained the Siheyuan that he had been dreaming of.

I had originally planned to take out the snacks I bought this morning when I got to Beijing, but the situation was different now.

I completely forgot about changing my route to Guangzhou. Even if the weather is cold now, the taste of the dim sum will change after being left out for dozens of days.

Therefore, those snacks and things sent to the old house still have to be sent back first, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed.

Of course you have to buy Daoxiangcun when you come to Beijing. The most famous dim sum is the Beijing Eight Pieces, which are:

Jujube flower cake, hawthorn pot cake, ox tongue biscuit, dragon beard cake, walnut cake, mung bean cake, chestnut cake, coconut ball,

As traditional Beijing snacks, these pastries have their own characteristics, some are crispy and not greasy, while others are sweet and delicious.

In later times, that was the true flavor of old Beijing. Looking at the people queuing in front of him, Ouyang Qing thought it was too unfortunate.

Not only did she have to queue in the morning, she also had to queue in the afternoon. It seemed like she couldn't get through the queue today.

When the friends were discussing buying a few boxes, Ouyang Qing quickly spoke out to stop them, "Cousin, Sister Yanyan, I think for now,

What you should discuss most is not how much to buy, but what to buy. "

Her words made the two people who were just discussing enthusiastically confused. Facing their puzzled expressions,

Ouyang Qing could only continue, "Think about it! My parents bought this snack this morning.

You don't need to buy another one. We rarely come here, so why buy the same one? You can tell by the people lining up.

Daoxiangcun’s dim sum is not bad. Instead of eating the same dim sum all year round, you might as well consider buying something else.”

Since he was able to get into university, his comprehension ability must be not too bad. The two of them quickly understood what she said.

On the way here, Ouyang Qing told everyone that they were going to Guangzhou, so the things they would buy later,

It must be mailed today. If I take it to Yangcheng, it will be a little inconvenient on the way. I know she won't say this for no reason.

Besides, since they were outside, it was inconvenient to talk, so no one asked much. Past experience told them that Qingqing would not go to Beijing for no reason.

Needless to say, Qingqing will tell them in detail after returning. Ye Lihao is so envious.

He also wanted to go. Seeing that he was worried, Ouyang Qing could only promise him that they could go together after the school holidays. Only then did he give up.

After discussing what to buy, Qian Yanpeng only bought some for the two old people and his two uncles. After all, these elders had been with him since he was a child.

They all took good care of themselves, which was also a token of their appreciation. Ouyang Yan and Xiang Xiaoqing's situations were different.

In addition to buying two portions of Beijing Eight Pieces for her grandmother's family, Ouyang Yan also bought two portions of dim sum for the old man, the old lady, and Gongzhong.

I plan to wait until the Chinese New Year to serve it to my family for them to enjoy.

After thinking for a long time, Xiang Xiaoqing only bought two snacks, one for her grandmother's family and the other for the two elderly people.

We had agreed before coming that since they were out, there was no need to buy an extra portion for their families, mainly because we were afraid that the food would not be finished and would be wasted.

Although they know how to make pastries, each pastry chef has different skills, so the taste of the pastries they make is naturally different.

That's why she wanted to buy it back and let her grandparents try it. Why buy so much? Her sister-in-law didn't get along with her.

If she bought one more, her sister-in-law would definitely put it away and send it back to her parents' home because of her personality.

Fortunately, there was a piece of worn cotton cloth covering it, and in a short while, several bamboo baskets were already filled up.

Prepare more fruits that are easy to store, such as apples, oranges, and pears, bananas, peaches, and strawberries.

A large basket of scarce vegetables was prepared, and about thirty pounds of pork, beef, and mutton were prepared.

I prepared six old hens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and of course several large fish. After yesterday's big deal,

And most of them are traded with small yellow croakers, so there is no need to hide the details that are deliberately exposed.

I guess my dad's unknown friend must have left a deep impression on everyone, so when he took out the things,

Ouyang Qing was not vague at all. A small cart was filled to the brim and it seemed that it could not be pushed.

When she arrived at the entrance of the alley with great difficulty, Qian Yanpeng and others who were keeping an eye on the movements inside were shocked.

He first looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he hurried over.

Of course Ouyang Qing would be happy if someone could help her, after all, she was not a very hardworking person.

The main reason why I prepared so many things was that Mr. Ye and Mr. Wang both helped a lot during this trip to Beijing.

If it weren't for their help, the matter of Siheyuan would not have been concluded so quickly. Besides,

The five men left Xiaohao alone in Jing City. Since he went to Qingshan Brigade, he had basically never stopped eating meat.

I have watched him eat these past two days. His appetite is obviously much smaller than when he was in the village, so the fruits and meat here are

A part of it was left for Xiaohao to celebrate the New Year, and the rest was left for the two elders.

The moment he took the cart and felt the weight in his hands, Qian Yanpeng couldn't help but smack his lips. What his cousin said was really...

"Qingqing, do you need to return this cart later?"

Ouyang Qing, who was following behind him, was gently raising his slightly sore arm. When he heard him say this, he immediately replied without hesitation:

"No, leave it at Xiaohao's house after use. When we come back after the New Year, we can send the luggage to Shahai Hutong.

Auntie said, we can use this cart first, and it’s okay if we don’t return it, because they need several more.”

Seeing that he was having difficulty walking, Ye Lihao immediately stepped forward to help. Perhaps with his help,

Qian Yanpeng felt a lot more relaxed in an instant and nodded to thank him.

Ouyang Yan and Xiang Xiaoqing were planning to help share the burden, but when they saw the rag covering it,

They immediately realized that the things below were not simple. They knew how scarce the supplies were now.

Even in Beijing, the goods in the supply and marketing cooperatives are supplied according to bills, and you can't buy them just because you want to.

Considering that they were outside, the two of them just exchanged glances and tacitly agreed not to mention the matter.

The cart was stuffed to the brim. Ye Lihao smacked his lips in amazement. Although it was covered tightly, it seemed a bit too much.

"Sister Qingqing, you guys are so polite! I finally came out here, why do you prepare so many things for me?"

"You're wrong. My dad had these things prepared two days ago, but now they're in short supply.

It took some time, as I only informed my dad this morning. Everything will be ready this afternoon, so we can just come over."

What Ouyang Qing didn't say was that this little bit of help was nothing compared to what they had done.

The two grandfathers played an indispensable role in buying the courtyard house and shop that I wanted, not to mention that these things were all produced by the space.

It doesn't cost any money, just some effort, and in the long run, they are the biggest beneficiaries.

The room next to Mr. Ye's room had been cleared out. When they returned to Nanjing Hutong,

The four of them were drinking tea and chatting in the study. Aunt Sun had just returned to the front yard. Before she could rest for a while,

She heard a knock on the courtyard door and guessed that the children had returned. Sure enough, before she could open the door,

I heard a few people talking outside the door. I opened the door with joy and saw a cart parked at the gate.

There seemed to be quite a lot of things hidden under the rag. She asked in confusion, "What's going on with this cart?

Didn’t you go shopping? Why did you buy so much?”

It was almost time to get off work, and more neighbors were coming and going. Ye Lihao hurriedly stopped her from asking questions.

"Auntie, let's get the things in first and close the door later."

Seeing the gossipy looks from the neighbors, Aunt Sun immediately understood what he meant and quickly opened the gate.

Because there is a threshold at the gate of the courtyard, it is difficult to push the cart in at first. It is not that it cannot be dismantled, but it is a bit troublesome.

I know how much stuff is on it, and it's impossible to carry the cart in.

In this case, we can only unload some of the things first. Ouyang Qing hurriedly talked about a corner of the rag.

They picked up a bamboo basket and moved it to the yard. Seeing this, Qian Yanpeng and the others also hurried to move. At this time, Aunt Sun's expression was

Obviously, she could no longer be described as shocked. She even had some self-doubt. If she had seen it correctly,

The basket must contain chickens and ducks! The children are too bold. Didn’t they go out to buy gifts?

So where did these things come from? Even if I had many questions in my mind, it was difficult to ask them at this time.

She also quickly joined in, and was part of the group that was moving the things. She hadn't recovered from the shock until the last basket was moved.

All the bamboo baskets were placed on the side of the courtyard gate. Although she used to live in the alley next door, she had to move away from the alley after she got married.

I seldom interacted with the neighbors here. Later, that incident happened. Thanks to Mr. Ye’s pity, for the sake of our past friendship,

She came to the Ye family to do work, and usually stayed at home and rarely went out, so she basically didn't interact with the neighbors around her.

In just a short while, so many bamboo baskets were brought in. This action attracted the attention of those who were passing by.

I was so anxious. Ye Lihao and his friends had only been here for two days. They left early and came back late, so naturally they didn't recognize him. It was even more unclear whether it was Old Master Ye's grandson who came back.

After all, they all lived in the same alley, and any situation in one family could spread widely in just one meal.

Some people were also very confused about the visitor to Mr. Ye's house, because among so many people, they only saw Mr. Wang.

The others were all strangers. For a moment, many people in the alley speculated that these strangers must be distant relatives of the Ye family.

Seeing that Mr. Ye had returned safely, they must have come to ask for money, but this was just their speculation, spread privately,

You know, in the past, whenever any of their neighbors had a headache or fever, it was always Old Ye who helped them take care of it.

Who has not received his kindness? They know this Aunt Sun and heard that she is also a poor person.

So when they saw so many people moving things into the yard, they all found it very strange.

As soon as the things on the cart were moved, Qian Yanpeng and Ye Lihao immediately lifted the cart forward and backward.

After moving to the yard, Aunt Sun was no less active. Just as they entered, the gate of the yard slammed open.

She closed it, followed by the sound of the door bolt being inserted, and the door was completely closed.

She finally let out a deep breath. Oh my god! She was so frightened in just a moment.

Didn't you see the neighbor who just passed by, looking over at them? Luckily, they didn't have much contact with each other, otherwise, if they just walked a few more steps forward,

She could definitely see clearly what was in the basket. Nothing else mattered, but she was afraid that if the news got out, someone would become jealous and cause trouble for Mr. Ye.

Walls have ears, there is nothing that cannot be said here, she helplessly made a gesture to silence them.

He signaled everyone to quickly load the things onto the cart and talk about it later. It was only then that Ouyang Qing realized that

She was inconsiderate and too reckless. She forgot such an important thing just because she was too happy.

In this era where you need receipts for everything and the supply is limited, and it is broad daylight, these things I brought with me,

If someone with ulterior motives saw this, it would bring disaster to Grandpa Ye and Xiao Hao. For the first time, Ouyang Qing felt guilty.

(Fortunately) nothing happened, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do. A deep sense of powerlessness rose in my heart.

It was inconvenient just now, so she just took a rough look. Oh my God! Where did these old and rare things come from?

If someone looked closely, they would have noticed that Aunt Sun's hands were shaking with excitement as she moved the bamboo basket.

No one spoke during this time. Even when the cart was pushed to the second courtyard, Aunt Sun still felt a little bit unbelievable.

"Xiaohao, don't think I'm nosy. There are things I need to say. I still have to say them. Didn't you say that when we went out?

Are you going to buy gifts? Then where did these things come from? I am confused! Do you know how tense the situation is outside now?

Last month when I went out to buy groceries, I heard that many people were arrested because of this incident. You guys just got admitted to the university.

Good days are yet to come. If something happens, what will my family do? "

Although the words sounded harsh, they were all true. In her opinion, these children were still too young.

I don't want to put it bluntly because I'm afraid they won't understand. Now is a special period and we can't take any chances.

"Don't be angry, I know you, Auntie, are doing this for our own good. I assure you, this was just an accident.

We will definitely pay attention to this in the future, but don't worry, these things were prepared by Uncle Ouyang, who asked his friends to help prepare them.

We only got the stuff together this afternoon, so we stopped by and took it back. We really didn’t go to the place you mentioned.”

Seeing that he had explained it this way, Aunt Sun could only give up and said, "Next time, remember this and don't do it again in broad daylight.

That is to say, your grandfather is popular and the neighbors are kind. If he met a sinister person, he might come to your door.

You must remember that people’s words are to be feared.”

This is an irrefutable fact. Instantly, beads of sweat appeared on the backs of several people, and they hurriedly responded.

"I understand, Auntie."

"Got it, Auntie, thank you for your advice."

"........."

"........."
