Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

"Uncle, aunt, I came here today to ask for something. If you don't accept the gift, I won't be able to ask for it."

"If you have something to say, just say it. This isn't your first time here, why are you being so formal? You are my old son's comrade-in-arms, which means you are half my son. We will help you in any way we can."

The Fan Dayong brothers had some vague guesses in their hearts about what Ouyang Bai was going to say. Their family was made up of honest farmers, so what could possibly happen to a city dweller who asked them for help?

His family had been making a living from the land for generations, and the little power he had was limited to arranging the villagers' work and managing the educated youth.

The former is definitely not the case, so it must be the latter. I am just asking my family members to help take care of the child. This is the only right I have. Fan Dazhi took another big puff of his pipe.

The most promising one in my family is my nephew, so I will certainly help him if I can. "Comrade Ouyang, I roughly know what you want to say. Please tell me the details first, and then we can discuss it carefully."

The village chief has not worked for nothing for all these years. As soon as he mentions something, the other party will know his purpose. Otherwise, he would not be able to manage such a big village.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Yesterday I received a call from home. My two sisters are about to graduate from high school. Aren't educated youth being called to go to the countryside? They want to go to the countryside together to build the countryside.

The elders at home were worried about me, and I had been serving in the army here, so they thought that H Province was a good place with talented people and beautiful scenery, and I could still take care of them from time to time.

He asked me to take a look at the villages surrounding the army first, and tell my family if I think any of them are good. You all know that I stay in the army every day, and my work is either training or going on missions.

The only place I am familiar with is our Qingshan Brigade, so I would like to trouble my aunt to tell me about the situation at the educated youth point when she is done with her work, focusing on the daily trivialities of the point.

I will make arrangements in advance once I have confirmed my family's situation. I may need to trouble my uncle and aunt to help take care of me."

The happiest person to hear this news was Gu Yueze. Did this mean that he could finally get to know Qingqing? He left in a hurry last time and didn't have time for Qingqing to get to know him. If Qingqing really came to the countryside, wouldn't his chance come?

"Hey, Abai, you are so polite. Don't worry about this little thing. I will take care of it. I will go cook first. You can talk to your uncle and the others. I will take you to see his uncle in the afternoon. There are so many people at home today. You don't have to go home. Just have a meal here."

Hearing that there were guests coming to the house, Li Fangfang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family, also came back early to help. It was supposed to be her turn to cook today, but her mother-in-law would not give up her position as the chef even though her brother-in-law came back, so she just had to help out on the side.

On the way, I also met a few kids at home, eating and holding them in their hands to show off? This made all the friends in Murakami very greedy.

No wonder my parents-in-law love my younger brother-in-law so much. He never comes home empty-handed and never forgets to bring snacks for the children. The boys in the family regard their younger brother-in-law as a role model and all of them say that they want to join the army like their younger brother-in-law when they grow up.

After greeting him in the yard, Li Fangfang saw the malted milk and canned food on the table. Oh my god! This brother-in-law is really promising. He bought such good things. It doesn't matter if she can't eat it, but at least she still has two sons.

She knew her mother-in-law's temper. As long as she had food, she would be willing to give it to the children. Seeing so many people in the yard, Li Fangfang hurried to the kitchen to help.

"Abai, I'm also very happy that you thought of our Qingshan Brigade first. You and my third brother are also good brothers. So let me say something from the bottom of my heart. When your sister comes, our family will definitely take care not to let others bully her.

Of course, I'm not saying anything bad about others. There are quite a lot of educated youth in our Qingshan Brigade. We have been accepting educated youth every year since the very first batch of them went to the countryside.

But everyone has seen the situation. It is said that it is easy to go to the countryside but difficult to return to the city. They all grew up in the city and have never experienced the hardships of life. Let’s not talk about other brigades, just take the educated youth in our Qingshan Brigade!

Most of those who came to the countryside were those whose children were not favored and who could not do much work. In the winter, they would definitely not have enough food.

I have been working in the countryside for several years. There are many brothers and sisters in my family, and everything in the city costs money. Many educated youth do not receive subsidies, and the work points they earn are not enough to eat.

Seeing that there was no hope of returning to the city, several male educated youth began to target the female educated youth. This caused a lot of trouble afterwards. Of course, we did our best to help them.

But we couldn't keep an eye on the educated youth site every day, and in the end there was no other way, so the female educated youth who had more money built their own houses and moved out of the site.

Some people with average conditions have also built houses together and lived in them. They seldom interact with each other in normal times. The female comrades living in the educated youth sites now all come from relatively difficult family situations.

It's different here than in the south. Here we all sleep on kangs in the winter. There are places for the educated youth to live when they come to the educated youth camp, but you have to tell your family about it. In the educated youth camp, more than ten people sleep on one kang.

The situation is like this. You should discuss it with your family first. If it is confirmed that your two sisters are coming, do you want to share a room with them? Two sisters can live in one room.

In another half month, we will gradually have some free time, and the villagers will also have time to help. If it gets too cold here later, the soil will be frozen, and we will have to wait until the spring plowing is finished next year to repair the house.

"Uncle, I understand this. I am definitely more relieved in your village. I would also be worried if they went to other villages. The situation in other places is definitely not as detailed as you said. At least with your reminder, I can say that I know the situation of the educated youth points inside and out.

Uncle, I remember there is a telephone in our team, right? I will call my family first and tell them that the house must be built after they start working on it. I will also ask for details by the way. "

Fan Dayong felt that as long as they agreed to build the house, the location where the educated youth built the house was not far from his home. Since his family had agreed to help take care of it, they had to sort out all the interests involved and could also help watch over it during the day.

But after all, as an educated youth, he is always prone to carelessness at night. If something really happens, he will not be able to explain to his son and his comrades' families.

"Do you want to make the call now or wait a little longer?" Ouyang Bai looked at the watch in his hand. His parents had already gotten off work.

"Uncle, then I'll ask the third brother to take me to make the call this afternoon." The bell for the end of work rang, and the people working in the fields rushed home one after another.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Bai made a phone call at the right time and told his father about his situation.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle after get off work. You know the details only because you have acquaintances. If you go somewhere else directly, you will be completely in the dark.

I'll go back to discuss the house issue tonight. It's not convenient for so many people to live in one house. Let them discuss how to build it. After all, it's theirs to live in. I'll get back to you after they've discussed it. Remember to build a good relationship with them. You'll need them to take care of you when you go on a mission in the future."
