Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

In fact, it was no wonder that Ouyang Bo had kept it a secret that someone was coming to pick her up. She didn't really want to bother anyone with help during the New Year.

But the three brothers had said before that if they came to Beijing without informing them in advance, it would be a disregard for their life-long friendship.

There was no other way. Before leaving, he called Beijing and informed them of the train's arrival time.

But now he was very glad that someone came to pick him up, because after this journey, they, the young people, were fine.

But the elderly were obviously not in good spirits. They slept lightly due to their age, and the train made a loud clanging noise.

The disturbance made it difficult for them to fall asleep for a long time, so the four old people were a little tired.

The three of them greeted each other in their own way, and then Lou Junyao said, "We were talking about this a few days ago.

If you come to Beijing without notifying us to pick you up, we brothers will have a grudge against you."

Ouyang Bai was not a particularly expressive person, and after the greetings he only said, "Thanks, brother."

We are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. We understand many things without even having to say them out loud. The warmth of Beijing is

It was much colder than Su Province. People coming and going were all in a hurry. A gust of cold wind blew past, and several people shivered.

Gu Yueze looked at the group of people not far away and quickly interrupted the few people who were still trying to talk, "Okay, let's talk when we get there.

Ouyang, didn't you say on the phone that uncle and aunt had found a place to live? Then hurry up and get someone in the car.

We will be responsible for carrying the luggage, so that no one will catch a cold in this weather."

In this way, several elderly people and Zhou Guilan's sister-in-law were arranged in the jeep, and Ouyang Qing and several young people,

They spontaneously said that they could just take the truck, but finally, under Ouyang Bo's strong suggestion, they went to the jeep in front.

It's been a while since we last met, and it would be a lie to say that it wasn't awkward. Ouyang Qing wanted to avoid Gu Yueze on purpose, and just now when he greeted him, he followed everyone else.

She never thought that being too clever would backfire, and she was forced by her eldest brother to get into the car that she wanted to avoid the most. However, when Gu Yueze saw her getting in the car,

I greeted her as usual, "Sister Ouyang, long time no see, congratulations!"

Seeing that he looked normal, Ouyang Qing felt relieved and quickly replied,

"Long time no see. Thank you, Brother Gu, for taking the trouble to come over during the Chinese New Year."

When they met again, Gu Yueze suppressed the urge to talk to the little girl. He knew in his heart that it must be his previous actions that

He had annoyed the little girl. If it had been before the mission, he would definitely not let her go easily, but now was different.

The last time he went on a mission abroad, it was full of dangers. He thought he would never come back several times. Between life and death, for matters of love,

I also became more indifferent. It's not that I don't dare, but that I can't. Now I think it's a good thing that the new girl rejected me.

His job is too dangerous. He may not be able to return from any mission. He cannot give any guarantee, let alone love.

The little girl doesn't like him and he is not worthy of him. Love does not necessarily have to be possessed. It is the same to bury it in your heart and guard it silently.

"Your eldest brother and the rest of us have a life-and-death friendship, and Beijing is our territory. Now that our good brothers are here,

We should at least fulfill our duty as hosts. Besides, we brothers have already agreed that your family is our family.

How can you not come out to greet your family members when they come? When Ouyang called earlier, he said that his uncle and aunt were coming here in advance.

We have found a place to live, but he doesn't know the exact address yet. Let's go now. Please tell me the address.

When we are almost there, I will help you point the way."

So on the way back to Shahai Hutong from the train station, Gu Yueze not only explained the hutongs along the way and several famous places to visit in Beijing,

He never said anything else. He had to say that the bus was fast. Before getting on the bus, Ouyang Qing checked the time. It took 15 minutes to get from the train station to Shahai Hutong.

It took about forty minutes to drive, which wasn't particularly far.

However, this courtyard is good, but its only drawback is that it is still a little far from Beijing University.

Even if I had a bicycle, it would be very inconvenient to travel back and forth. I will be reporting in a few days, and I wonder if there is any news from Grandpa Wang.

Just as she was thinking about this, she heard Gu Yueze's questioning voice, "Sister, we are almost there, where exactly should we park?

Just let me know when you arrive, and we can deliver your luggage to your door."

So under Ouyang Qing's guidance, Gu Yueze parked the car in front of a very secluded courtyard.

Before Ouyang Zhen left, he not only left a key for Wang Laowai, but also kept a copy for himself.

In fact, it is just for convenience now, as he gets out of the car and opens the door.

Gu Yueze had a new understanding of Ouyang Bo's family background. The brothers had been through life and death together for so many years.

This was the first time he really knew Ouyang's family background. He had originally thought that if there was no room for so many people at home,

He did have two yards under his name that could be put to use. He knew his brother's family would be coming, so he cleaned them up in advance.

But he didn't need to worry about it at all, as his brother's family solved it themselves. However, it was rare to find a yard as big as this one.

Most of them were inherited from the previous generation. For example, the old man in his family owns a house with five entrances, but now it is occupied by his uncle and his family.

This courtyard had already been allocated to my uncle when the two families separated, but the old man did not favor one over the other.

His parents now live in a courtyard house with four entrances, and the one under his name with three entrances is his home.

The wedding room that I had prepared for myself a long time ago, and the other four-room house was exchanged with someone else by chance a few years ago using the mission bonus.

A courtyard with six entrances like this one is hard to come by.

What he didn't know was that in addition to the six-courtyard house in front of him, even the five-courtyard house opposite also belonged to the Ouyang family.

The simple exterior is actually quite different from the renovation inside. Don’t be fooled by the gray exterior.

But when I walked in, I saw the inside clearly. The wife of the previous owner was a flower and plant lover.

In the early years, she helped to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. Although she has been sent down for a long time and has not taken care of the flowers and plants in recent years,

But since returning to Beijing, she likes to stay at home. Later, she even used an empty room in the front yard as a greenhouse.

It is precisely because of her hobby that the green plants in the yard are well taken care of. It can be said that from the time she came in until now,

Every corner of the courtyard is amazing.

Gu Yueze and the other two grew up in a wealthy family. Although they were shocked, the education they received from childhood did not allow them to show their true emotions on their faces.

Li Dachun and his companions who came in with him were so shocked that they could stuff eggs into their mouths.

This yard is really too big. "Sister-in-law, when I heard about it before, I thought you were joking.

I never thought there was such a grand courtyard. It really opened my eyes today."

She has always been like this, no matter what she sees, Zhou Guilan has long been accustomed to it.

"Yeah! When we first came here, we were also shocked, but after seeing it a few times, we got used to it. It's not too late to come here.

Want to go shopping? I have some free time these days, so I can look around. "

All the way from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, it really opened the eyes of the group. It was so dark that it was not a home! This was the first time for them.

Seeing such a grand and elegant inner courtyard, rockery waterfalls, small bridges and flowing water, including a unique corner of the garden,

None of them were impressive. Disagreeing with the noise made by Li Dachun and several young people, the four old men were quite calm.

After all, they were all young and had seen the world outside, but when they saw the side room of the house where they lived,

It was equipped with a separate toilet, which was an eye-opener. Not to mention that after entering the house, Ouyang Zhen turned on the floor heating switch.

As the indoor temperature rises, it really brings a second surprise to everyone. If the current power supply is sufficient,

It is impossible to drive them at the same time, using such a large amount of electricity, but what is amazing is the energy-saving device of the floor heating.

Even if they are turned on at the same time, it will not cause power load. You should know that this is unique in Beijing. In the next few years,

The Jiang father and son who cooperated with him also made a fortune, but this is a story for later.

Fortunately, the Sheng family is trustworthy, and most of the furniture in the house has been well preserved.

Therefore, in each house now, apart from a thin layer of dust due to long-term absence of people, there is no sign of

This place needs to be rearranged, after all, this is the place where people have lived for only a short time after it was renovated.

This kind of family with rich heritage has good taste. All the furniture in the house is of the best quality.

Take Ouyang Qing's house for example! It was not easy to live in a quadrangle courtyard. When we first saw it, we had discussed it.

She wanted to live in the side yard to the east of the main yard. Although the yard she chose was not very big, it had everything she needed.

In addition to the independent courtyard and green plants, Jiang and his son also built a grape trellis in a corner of the yard at her request.

Not to mention the sewers connecting the various courtyards, so that people can wash up in their own rooms without going out after getting up.

This convenient and good idea was praised by everyone in a short while. Gu Yueze and the other two were all very excited.

I am in my good brother's yard, saying that I am helping to clean up, but in fact I am looking around for takeout experience. You have to know the conditions of these people's homes.

They were all outstanding people in Beijing, but they had been shocked several times in succession at their good brother's house, just like young boys who had never seen the world.

First of all, this floor heating was something they had never seen before. They were young people full of vigor and vitality, but they could not stand the cold and the comfortable temperature.

They can still distinguish clearly that there are elderly people and elders in their families, so they all make small calculations in their minds.

I plan to ask my uncle who installed this floor heating system when we go out for dinner later.

Yes, mainly because it was still early. It was only less than ten o'clock since we came out of the train station, which was enough time for everyone to pack up and for the elderly to rest.

So when they received the call, they discussed that for the first meal, they must go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, because this is the signature dish of their Beijing city.

As for the taste, it is neither too light nor too bland and is more easily accepted by all kinds of people.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group went home directly. Although they did not bring many beddings, they still had enough bedding under the floor heating.

It was enough to sleep. After sending the people to the gate of the courtyard, the three of them left first. After all, this was a borrowed car.

It would be better to go back early. Several young men have been busy all morning. When they were eating outside,

The two sisters-in-law discussed it and decided that every day in the first month of the lunar year was a good day, and that the young men had been busy running around for so long.

Why not invite a few familiar families to come to your house tomorrow to have some fun, and treat it as a housewarming party for moving into a new house?

Speaking of the housewarming party, it is a custom passed down by their older generation. In addition to seeking good luck, it also represents the meaning of smooth future life.

Xiang Xiaoqing's family was temporarily arranged to live in the courtyard west of the main courtyard. They were in a hurry and did not have enough time to go there.

If she were alone, it would be fine for her to stay for a few days, after all, she would have to report to school in a few days.

But the two old people are different. After all, they feel more secure living in their own home.

Fortunately, each room in the front yard is equipped with a toilet, which helped the elderly to clean up the rooms.

After she had cleaned up the place, she immediately pestered the old man to lie down and rest first, and then she sat on the bed and told him her plan.

"My grandparents, uncle and aunt are all kind people. You can just stay here and rest assured. I will ask my uncle to help me tomorrow.

Contact the old masters who are helping us and see when they are free to repair our house first."

From now on, the three of them, the grandparents and grandchildren, will have to depend on each other for survival. If they had not been badly educated, the burden of supporting them in their old age would have been overwhelming.

No matter what, it will not fall on the little granddaughter. Fortunately, they are still strong and have some savings.

In order not to hinder the little granddaughter, "You are a little girl, and we two old people can't help much.

But there is one request. We have to pay for the repair of the yard. In this way, your grandmother and I will

We can live here in peace, otherwise we would not be ashamed to live there."

Xiang Xiaoqing's first reaction to the old man's request was to refuse, "That won't work. I've already said that I will help you with your old age.

I finally got here, how can I let you spend money, grandpa and grandma, I..."

Knowing her granddaughter's filial piety, the old lady quickly spoke out to stop her, "Girl, listen to your grandfather, you still have a long time to live.

If you don't agree to such a small matter, your grandfather and I will be unhappy. Don't rush to refuse.

Let me tell you slowly. When I was still at home, your brother's wife was watching me all day long, so some things were hard to say openly.

Your parents were so partial, how could we not see it? We were just pretending to be stupid. At that time, your grandfather said,

As long as you hold on to the money in your hands, your parents won't cause any trouble. But man proposes, God disposes.

Liu Fangfang's incident happened. Fortunately, your grandfather was known for his foresight, so you don't have to worry about us not having money.

Did you see the old rattan box that your grandfather had been protecting so tightly all the way? Open the cabinet and take it out first."
