Reborn Soul: Me and My Family
Chapter 451
On the train from Heilongjiang to Jiangsu, Ouyang Bai was in a state of anxiety. He would be home tomorrow, and he didn't know whether his parents and sister would come back.
Based on the special nature of this mission, the team leader quickly approved the application for additional vacation time, thinking that he could send his younger brothers and sisters to school after the New Year.
Ouyang Bai's mood improved a lot, and he felt a sense of accomplishment that his younger siblings had grown up.
The old house in Wuyi Lane, Ouyang Lin's family of three, queued for an entire afternoon, and only the father and son bought a certain amount of New Year's goods.
From a distance away from Li Dachun, a sign was hung saying "Come back tomorrow". Even if they were angry, there was nothing they could do. No one could have expected this.
In the end, she was the only one who went home empty-handed. As she approached Wuyi Lane, she ran into someone she knew. This person was the old lady in the third courtyard on the far right of her house.
"Hey~ Ouyang family, are you just back from the queue?"
"Hey~ forget it, I went out early, queued for the whole afternoon, and finally came back empty-handed. Fortunately, he and his father bought it.
Auntie, you are out for a walk again!"
The old lady smiled kindly, and became interested after hearing what she said, "It's good that you bought them, the ones in my family haven't come back yet?
I thought it was okay, so I went out to greet them. When I came out earlier, I ran into your younger brother and his family coming back.
Your little girl Yanyan is so sweet. She always calls me when she sees me from a distance. She is as lovable as when she was little."
Li Dachun was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood at the entrance of the alley, his mind on home, and said hurriedly, "Aunt, let's talk about this later.
I haven’t seen my girl for almost a year.”
Before she finished her words, the person had already run away. The old lady couldn't help but feel that it seemed that, after thinking about it carefully, it was true. She only had one daughter.
The mother and daughter haven't seen each other for another year. Aren't they excited?
"Okay, okay, okay, you two should go home soon!"
After saying hello, the father and son also ran back home, leaving the old lady alone, still mumbling,
"The family got along well, and there had been no quarrels between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law or the sisters-in-law for many years. How could such a sister-in-law appear?
This human nature! It is really hard to understand. "
The old lady shook her head with emotion, turned around and walked out slowly. It was almost dark, why hadn't this family returned yet?
When I ran to the gate, I heard laughter coming from the courtyard. I knew without listening that it must be two little girls.
Are you coaxing the old lady again?
"Second brother, sister-in-law, you are finally back. The old lady has been nagging about it these past few days, saying that she had been gone for so many days.
Why haven’t you come back yet? I’ve finally got you home.”
The weather was good today, so Zhou Guilan simply found a small stool and sat in the yard to pick vegetables, still thinking about what dish to cook.
Hearing the cheerful voice of his sister-in-law, Ouyang Qing hurried forward and called out, "Aunt, you're back."
Just when she was about to ask why she came back alone, she soon saw the father and son coming hurriedly, "Uncle, Fourth Brother,
I was just about to ask why uncle and fourth brother didn't come back together, it seems you came back running."
"I heard that you guys are back, so I'm worried. I haven't seen you for a long time, little girl, and you've learned to tease your aunt."
The mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time. They held hands and cuddled together. Qian Yanpeng was watching the fire in the kitchen when he heard the noise in the yard.
He stirred the stove twice to reduce the fire, then got up with peace of mind.
This is really unfair! Ouyang Qing hurriedly explained, "How could I not have said that? It's been a long time since I last saw you, auntie.
When I heard from my grandparents that you guys were queuing up to buy New Year's goods, I was wondering why you guys hadn't come back yet so late. I was thinking,
Just wait at the alley entrance?"
Li Dachun said lovingly, "Okay, I'm just teasing you. You must be exhausted on the way here! I just bought some meat today.
Auntie will make a few more dishes you like later. Why isn't Yan Peng here?"
Before his left foot stepped out of the kitchen door, he heard his aunt asking him about himself. Qian Yanpeng quickened his pace to answer.
"Aunt, I'm here. How come I'm missing when everyone is back? Uncle, fourth brother, long time no see."
Perhaps due to his frequent mountain climbing, Qian Yanpeng looks much stronger than last year.
As soon as the father and son put down the things in their hands, they put their arms around his shoulders, one on each side.
"Good boy, you look a lot stronger now. When you go to school, study hard. If you have any problems outside, brothers and sisters should discuss it with each other and support each other, okay?"
"I know, uncle, don't worry! But as long as Qingqing is here, she will take care of us."
It's really not Qian Yanpeng's fault. To be honest, every time they have a difficult decision,
Everyone is waiting for Ouyang Qing to make the decision, and this phenomenon has almost become the norm.
The fourth child, Ouyang Qing, looked at him with eyes wide open and mouth slightly opened in shock. The silly cousin beside him said with some regret,
"Cousin, you are a brother after all! Aren't you supposed to protect your sister?"
Even though he was criticized, Qian Yanpeng did not respond, but smiled indifferently. Who said that brothers cannot listen to their sisters?
Following my sister, I can eat meat and earn money to buy a house. Forget it, ignorance is not a crime. This silly cousin will know it later.
Who knew that after going to the capital and witnessing Ouyang Qing's ability, this cousin's attitude towards his sister could only be described as flattering.
All the talk of following the leader's lead was out of the question, which made Ouyang Yan complain about her fourth brother's current remarks behind his back several times.
After a while of noise, seeing that it was getting late, the two sisters-in-law hurried to the kitchen to cook, and the two sisters followed closely to help.
When it was completely dark, the two brothers helped the old couple back to the main room. Qian Yanpeng wanted to follow them into the house,
But he was pulled back by the fourth brother Ouyang Qing. Qian Yanpeng looked at him suspiciously. Before he could ask,
Then he heard his fourth cousin's gloating voice reach his ears, "Cousin, don't you realize that there is something missing in our family?"
"What's missing? Isn't it all here?"
"I wonder how you got into college. You can't see such an obvious thing. Think about it carefully."
Qian Yanpeng first transferred all the people in his uncle's family to his own family. After his two cousins got married, they moved out.
They rarely come back except during holidays. My third cousin is in the army, and my fifth brother... and my youngest cousin are not here.
"It's broken. We came here directly after we got out of the train station and forgot about our fifth brother and little cousin.
What should we do now? How about we go there together?"
"Now I remember, I went to my uncle's house to play a few days ago, and they were listless, and kept complaining about my uncle and his family going out.
I didn't even bother to call back to let them know I was safe. If I had known they would have gone with me, I would have told them the truth.
What do you think their reactions would be?"
Qian Yanpeng looked at him with a speechless look, and could only complain weakly in his heart. I don’t know how they reacted, I only know that you are mean.
The wind started to blow, and the night wind was a bit cold, but compared to the cold in Beijing, the temperature was still quite good.
The fourth child didn't care what his expression was and ran directly to the kitchen, "Mom, remember to cook more food for two people."
The people busy in the kitchen all looked puzzled. Tsk~tsk~tsk, they wiped away non-existent tears of sympathy for the two cousins.
It seems that among so many people in the family, I am the only one who still remembers it! If the two brothers knew about this, it would be so funny.
They were worried about them every day at home, but their aunt and the others had completely forgotten about them.
"Aunt, Sister Qingqing, I'll bring the person back in a while and see how you explain it."
After saying that, he turned around and motioned to his cousin in the yard to join him, and the two of them pushed their bicycles out of the yard.
Ouyang Qing was very upset. He clearly remembered when the train arrived at the station, but forgot when he got home. His memory was terrible.
"My second brother and my younger brother won't be angry, right?"
When saying this, Ouyang Qing was obviously lacking in confidence. He really didn't mean it. If the second brother and the others came later,
How should I explain it myself? It’s better not to explain it at all and let my dad handle it.
Ouyang Zhen: My daughter, you are so filial.
When talking about her two sons, Zhou Guilan felt a little guilty. Whether it was the day before departure or before getting on the train,
The two brothers wanted to nag them all the time, asking them to call home to let them know they were safe when they got to Beijing, and to call again when they got back from the train.
The two of them were going to pick her up at the station. How did she respond at that time? It seemed like she agreed readily, but Zhou Guilan felt a little uneasy.
But he still pretended to be calm and comforted his daughter, "It's okay, you just forgot it. It will be fine in two days."
The voice was vague and she actually didn't believe what she said. What else could she do?
Li Dachun saw the guilty expressions and actions of the mother and daughter. He wanted to say something,
It was as if he suddenly remembered something. His second brother and his wife were a little bit out of line. He remembered that they had just left on the train for two days.
The two brothers didn't receive the call, but they went back to the old house several times on purpose, hoping that after the two children had a fight, they would not forget it next time.
At this time, most people are eating at home, there are almost no people on the streets, and the speed of bicycles is much faster than usual.
At the Ouyang family in Tuanjie Lane, Ouyang Zhou had just cooked a pot of noodles. He was not very good at cooking, but the only thing he was good at was cooking noodles.
Anyway, just add water, bring it to a boil, throw the noodles in, and finally add whatever flavor you want.
It's not that they can't go to the old house to eat. When their parents left, they left the receipt so that they can go out and have a bite to eat.
I only went there once and didn't have an appetite.
Looking at the tasteless boiled noodles in the bowl, Ouyang Heng really lost his appetite. If he didn't eat, he would be too hungry.
"Brother, why haven't our parents come back yet? If I had known, I would have gone with them."
"Eat quickly! Otherwise you'll be hungry again in the middle of the night. Let's go to the old house tomorrow to see if there's any news. After you finish eating, remember to give me the bowl..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door. Ouyang Zhou put down his chopsticks and walked quickly into the yard.
"Here you are, who is it so late at night?"
"We are here, Fifth Brother, please open the door."
Although Ouyang Zhou felt confused when he ran here at this point, he quickened his pace and opened the gate in one go.
Ouyang Heng, who was slurping noodles, put down his chopsticks and trotted out immediately when he heard the voice coming.
"Fourth brother, why are you..."
Ouyang Zhou's voice suddenly stopped, "Cousin, when did you come back? Why aren't my parents and sister here with you?"
Qian Yanpeng scratched his head in embarrassment, wondering how to answer without being embarrassed and whether telling the truth would be too cruel.
Seeing that he was still not speaking, Ouyang Zhou became anxious and turned to look at his fourth brother Ouyang Qing.
Receiving the inquiry signal, Ouyang Qing's eyes flashed with mischief. Some things don't need to be said, it's more fun to let his cousin find out by himself.
Avoiding his question, Ouyang Qing asked, "Fifth brother, Xiaoheng, have you two eaten? My mother and aunt are busy cooking.
We came here specially to call you."
Hearing that his parents were already in the old house, Ouyang Heng wanted to jump three feet high. The two brothers hurriedly cleaned up the kitchen.
They pushed the bikes, turned on the lights and locked the doors quickly. Considering the luggage, the two brothers each rode a bike.
Ouyang Heng was completely overwhelmed by joy and was thinking about seeing his family all the way, but Ouyang Zhou was different.
Since he left the house, he has been thinking about how his cousin looked guilty when he asked his parents.
On the other hand, my cousin looked gloating, as if these two people were hiding something from him.
"Cousin, what time did you get on the train? Why didn't you call home before you came back?"
Even when he was riding a bike, Ouyang Zhou did not miss his cousin's obvious stiffening movement.
The fourth child, Ouyang Qing, followed behind, his face almost red from trying to hold back his laughter.
After a long while, Qian Yanpeng whispered, "I forgot, it's not too early, let's ride faster.
The food will get cold soon."
Ouyang Zhou was already so guilty, so what was there for him to not understand? He and his younger brother had been worried for several days, but in the end, no one even remembered them.
With a ball of rage in his heart, he pedaled his bike very fast, leaving the three people behind.
Ouyang Heng didn't understand what was going on, and thought his second brother was just joking. He also sped up, but the fourth brother Ouyang Qing was shaking his head behind him.
I'm afraid this little cousin hasn't realized that something is wrong yet! How come things are getting more interesting?
Since the group came back at short notice and the family had not prepared anything, they just cooked a few dishes at random, and the food was quickly served on the table.
As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were placed, the old man took out his treasured wine. Ouyang Zhen stood up and took over to help fill the glasses in front of the three people.
When he looked at the table and found that two people were missing, he said to his daughter, "Qingqing, go and call your cousin to come over for dinner."
Ouyang Qing was unmoved, "Dad and cousin are out, they will probably be back soon."
Ouyang Zhen was suspicious. It was already time for dinner, why were the two of them running out?
"Brother Zhen, you guys drink first, we'll just wait for a while, they should be here soon, I'll go to the door to greet them."
Seeing his mother walking out of the yard, Ouyang Qing hurried to follow.
"Mom, wait for me, let's go together."
Ouyang Zhen had noticed the strange behavior of the mother and daughter, "Sister-in-law, what happened? What happened to Guilan and Qingqing?
Why do you feel weird? "
Li Dachun: My dear brother! It's not that my sister-in-law doesn't want to help you, it's just that you two are unreliable. There are two adults in the family.
How could I forget it after I said it? Parents are the ones who worry about their children, but why do they do the opposite when it comes to my second brother's house?
I really don't understand.
