Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 191 Accommodation
"Um, a book..."

An Xin was a little panicked.

"Isn't it just a book? Can't I read it? When did you go buy a book again? Didn't you say before that you want to save money and not buy miscellaneous things in the future?"

Anjie snatched the book from An Xin's hand regardless.

"Oh, it turned out to be "Vanity Fair". Sister, I heard someone say before that this book is very good. Our teacher also talked about this book before, saying that women who read this book will awaken their sense of independence. Yes. Enlightenment books on women’s awakening, but these books are from abroad, and domestic translations are rarely published. Where did you get it? Let me read it first!"

"Little sister, I...I haven't watched it yet!"

An Xin wanted to refuse, but An Jie took the book directly into her room.

……

Ouyang Yi stood hesitantly at the door of his uncle Ouyang Hua's house.

He had heard the powerful and worldly Yan Lihua talk about himself before, so he impulsively packed up his simple clothes and came out.

I actually regret it now.

His uncle Ouyang Hua is not actually a biological uncle in the true sense. He is a nephew adopted by his grandfather. His parents are gone and he grew up with his grandfather in his hometown, which is similar to his grandfather's little care.

His grandfather later became ill and came to his son's home in the city to take care of his old age, taking his uncle with him.

Ouyang Yi's father studied abroad, and to be honest, he wasn't very close to his uncle.

Fortunately, when Brother Ouyang Hua was in charge, this uncle had already married and moved out. Because life was a bit difficult, he would provide appropriate subsidies.

After the Ouyang family moved overseas, they still had some contact with this uncle while he was still in the country.

Ouyang Hua is relatively honest and treats Ouyang well, but his life is more difficult now than before. He is now working as a handyman in a machinery factory and his house is only two dilapidated bungalows.

They also have two sons and a daughter. The five of them are crowded into two rooms, not to mention the cramped feeling of living there.

There are two rooms, and Ouyang Hua and his wife live in one. Their daughter, the youngest, is now [-]. They put a small bed in their parents' room to make do.

As for the other room, the eldest and second eldest children live together.

"Xiao Yi, you...when did you come back?"

Ouyang Yi was wandering at the entrance of the alley when a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

When he looked back, who else could he be if he wasn't his uncle Ouyang Hua?
"Uncle, you...are you off work?"

Ouyang Yi was a little embarrassed and said hello.

"Oh! What kind of work are you off at? It's already a holiday. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Our factory's machines are shut down and there's no production. Isn't this a holiday? I'd say it's better not to have a holiday. It's not even a holiday. The salary is paid.”

Ouyang Hua chattered and greeted his nephew to come home.

"My mother! My mother! Xiao Yi is here! Come out quickly!"

Ouyang Hua called his wife Chun'e inside to come out.

"What are you going to do as soon as you get off work?"

A woman with messy hair walked out of the low house. No, it was Ouyang Hua's wife Chun'e.

"Oh! Isn't this the young master? I heard that he is not doing big things in Kyoto. You...why are you back now!"

When Ouyang Yi came back earlier, he visited Ouyang Hua. Chun'e happened to be away from home at that time. He brought some things to Ouyang Hua. He only stood at the door for a moment and saw that the room was very messy, so he did not go in.

"Uh, aunt, I...I was transferred back from Kyoto!"

Ouyang Yi hesitated and said.

"Yes! Yes, Xiao Yi said he planned to be transferred back to Qingcheng when he came back last time. Come on, call people in. Why are you standing at the door?"

Ouyang Hua interrupted his wife's question and called Ouyang Yi into the house.

Ouyang Yi entered the room and saw a mess on the ground. Ouyang Hua took out a dark stool from somewhere for him to sit on.

Ouyang Yi didn't want to sit down because he was worried that his trousers would be stained. He now only had two suits left, which he usually wore interchangeably, which he cherished very much.

"Xiao Yi, sit down quickly, you're welcome!"

Ouyang Hua pulled Ouyang Yi to sit down.

"Puff"!
Ouyang Yi leaned up and fell to the ground.

"Oops! This chair was damaged by the waiter before, and I forgot to put it outside."

Zhang Chun'e shouted.

Ouyang Hua had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he directly went up to pull Ouyang Yi up.

Ouyang Yi didn't expect that the chair would split when he fell down, and he would lie down on his head. He rarely exercised, so when he fell down, his eyes started to shine.

What's worse is that Ouyang Hua's house only has two rooms. In addition to being a bedroom, this one also contains pots and pans and other things, and the floor is also a little greasy.

After Ouyang Yi fell down, his neat and clean suit came into direct contact with the oil on the ground, making him jump in disgust.

Ordinarily, Ouyang Hua actually lived a good life with the Ouyang family in the early years. Even when his grandfather was alive, he had to introduce him to a good partner.

Who knew that he got together with a girl who sells snacks, namely Zhang Chun'e, and made her pregnant in advance, so he had no choice but to get married and start a family.

This Chun'e person is okay, but she is too unscrupulous, and she doesn't know how to clean up the house, so it is very messy.

My daughter is now in her teens. She doesn’t even call when someone comes. She secretly hides by the door and looks over here.

Ouyang Yi felt that he was too miserable. Looking at the dirty room, he really wanted to leave, but he didn't know where to go.

Over at An's house, he came out directly. If he went back now, he would really lose face.

"Mom, the pot is almost dry!"

a little girl timidly shouted into the room.

"Oh, I want to cook noodles and I forgot to light the pot. Damn girl, why didn't you say something earlier? If this pot burns dry and you ruin a good pot, I'll beat you to death!"

Zhang Chun'e ran out at a trot.

There is no kitchen in the two bungalows. To cook, you just lay a few bricks outside, which is the stove. When Ouyang Hua led Ouyang Yi over, Zhang Chun'e was preparing to cook.

Ouyang Yi felt that the room had a rancid smell, so he suggested to take a look outside the door, but he just saw Zhang Chun'e cooking.

The cooking area was in a mess, and Zhang Chun'e was making noodles.

The pot and stove were both dark. When taking the noodles, Ouyang Yi saw Zhang Chun'e scratching his greasy head, which made him quickly close his eyes in disgust.

"Xiao Yi, you haven't eaten, have you? Your aunt made noodles, and you'll have a bowl of noodles in a while. Damn it, put more water in it, there's one more person!"

Ouyang Hua asked his wife.

"Uncle, I've eaten. I'm not hungry. You guys eat! You guys eat!"

Ouyang Yi said hurriedly.

He didn't eat much breakfast, mainly because Yan Lihua always made steamed buns and pickles. He hadn't drank milk or bread for a long time, so he didn't want to eat those foods.

Now that I think about it, compared to the food at my uncle's house, An's food is definitely considered delicious.He has already seen that the so-called noodles made by Zhang Chun'e are just noodles put in a pot of water, mixed with some grains, and some salt. It is completely pureed noodles with white water.

Look at Zhang Chun'e's shiny hair, which has a lot of dandruff on it, and then think about how Ouyang Yi can eat those noodles that have come into contact with her dirty head!

"You know, it's better to stay in Kyoto!"

Ouyang Yi felt really regretful in his heart.

In Kyoto, although he didn't get along with the people in the office, including his boss, at least the accommodation was clean and tidy, and he didn't have to worry about food.

In Kyoto, it used to be normal for those in their units to drink milk and eat some bread, but now it has become a luxury in the capital.

I really don’t know if I don’t come back. The living conditions in Kyoto and elsewhere are really very different.

Ouyang Yi would never have thought of the specialness of Kyoto. Many good things from the place were brought to Kyoto. Even in the most difficult times when there was not enough to eat, people in Kyoto did not say that they would die from hunger. At most, they could only eat enough. not good.

"Are you dead or not?"

Ouyang Hua was a little unsure, after all, it was just around noon.

"Eat! Eat, I ate at... I ate at An Tai's house!"

Ouyang Yi could only lie.

Sitting in the yard and watching Ouyang Hua's family eating the boiled noodles that were a little hard to swallow, Ouyang Yi felt extremely complicated.

They ate such unpleasant food with gusto.

Ouyang Hua's eldest son has now started working as a handyman in a factory. He lives in the staff dormitory while working and comes back regularly.

In order to make more money, I even applied for a factory inspection job during the Chinese New Year and would not come back until after the Chinese New Year.

The second son has not arranged work yet. The young man is about [-] or [-] years old and his clothes are dirty. He didn't say anything when he saw Ouyang Yi and just ate with his head down.

After Ouyang Hua had dinner, he chatted with Ouyang Yi and learned about his general situation.

Ouyang Yi didn't talk about living in the Anjia for a while, only that he was transferred from the Kyoto Research Institute to Qingcheng University.

Ouyang Hua didn't know much about his work, but he knew that the young master of Ouyang's family was very capable and a highly educated man. He was assigned to teach in a university when he came back, which was different from them.

Ouyang Hua was very happy to have their young master back. He never imagined that Ouyang Yi would be in despair.

Until it was almost dark in the afternoon, Ouyang Yi could not wait for the An family to come to him. He was extremely angry and felt that the An family must look down on him and probably kicked him out.

At first she was angry with Yan Lihua, but now she also hates An Tai and An Xin.

Ouyang Hua was an honest person, but not stupid. At first, he thought An Tai was just here to see him.

After all, his family's conditions are limited, so this young master naturally looks down on his own family's conditions. Even if he came to visit him a few years ago, he wouldn't even enter his house.

Ouyang Hua doesn't think that Ouyang Yi looks down on him, he just thinks that his temple is too small to accommodate a great god.

As it was getting late today, Ouyang Yi had no intention of leaving. He hurriedly asked his wife to cook. He even went to the street to buy some steamed buns, vegetables, and even some lard, which he was reluctant to eat at home.

Ouyang Yi was really hungry. He didn't eat the soup made by Zhang Chun'e because he thought it was too dirty. He ate two of the five big buns that Ouyang Hua brought back.

"Second brother, you go to your eldest brother's factory dormitory to squeeze in at night. This room will be given to your brother Xiao Yi!"

Ouyang Hua ordered his second son to go out after dinner, and called his wife Zhang Chun'e over to clean up the room.

"I can't just sleep now, what else are there to pack?"

Zhang Chun'e was a little confused. She was not a fussy person.

"The place where the young master lives is as unfashionable as you? Take out the new sheets and quilts from the box at home and use them."

Ouyang Hua directed his wife.

"That's for the boss to get a wife in the future..."

Zhang Chun'e was a little reluctant.

"Go! Buy it later!"

Ouyang Hua directly ordered his wife to show the majesty of the head of the family.

"It sounds like you are so rich! The boss has reached the age of marriage, and we may not be able to marry a wife with this condition! They Anjia said they were good to us, but they didn't leave anything for us when they left! This I finally had some money during the Chinese New Year and wanted to save it to marry my boss, but you spent it randomly..."

Zhang Chun'e was a little reluctant.

When Young Master Ouyang came back this time, he saw that the well-dressed people arrived at home empty-handed. He had never entered their house before, but now he had to live at home. He was obviously in despair.

There were also five big buns that her husband had bought before. Their family was reluctant to buy them before, and Ouyang Yi was not particular about it. Everyone in the family had one for each person, but he ate two by himself. He didn't even drink the noodle soup and drank water. Make special tea.

He washed the cups they had used over and over again, and now he had to use the wedding bedding she left for her son. How could Zhang Chun'e be willing to do so!
"You bitch, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

Ouyang Hua stared directly.

Although Zhang Chun'e was snoring, she was still afraid of her husband. After muttering a few words, she could only go back to their room to get new bedding.

……

Ouyang Yi slept in a room with a musty smell, and he still couldn't fall asleep until late at night.

Sometimes he would also wonder, how could he live like this when he used to live the life of a proud emperor?

When my eldest brother left, I actually suggested that he go with him, but at that time he entered the best research institute, and although he had studied abroad, his English was not very good and he was not used to it there.

There is another important reason, that is, the eldest brother is not too insistent on persuading Ouyang Yi to leave. For them, this era is changing, and they don't know when the situation may change again. If Ouyang Yi stays here, what the Ou family wants is someone. I can take care of my family's ancestral home and property, in case I come back one day...

But now it seems that everything may be gone.

Their ancestral home has been sealed, and the so-called properties have been confiscated. Even Ouyang Yi himself doesn't even have a place to live now.

Ouyang Yi didn't know much about politics. He was a single-minded intellectual, and his life had always been smooth. However, when he suddenly encountered such a sudden change, he became more cynical and dissatisfied with outsiders.

Even now, he is like this because the An family is too ruthless and powerful.

Just thinking too much didn't help. With a rooster crow, Ouyang Yi gradually fell into sleep.

……

It’s the New Year’s holiday and it’s time for leisure.

Because supplies are scarce and extremely scarce, many people celebrate the New Year very simply.

The An family was no exception. Because the three brothers and sisters of the An family had all settled their wages, An Xin gave more than half of the money to her brother An Tai to help support the family.

Anjie was embarrassed when she saw An Xin coming out with the money, so she took out five yuan and said she would buy new year's goods.

An Tai went to the store and cut two kilograms of pork, and bought some flour and vegetables, which was regarded as New Year's shopping.

After breakfast in the morning, Anjie lay on the bed and read the Vanity Fair that she snatched from An Xin.

She first briefly flipped through the pages, and after just a few flips, a piece of paper fell from the book onto the bed.
