Chapter 251: Relocation of the Tomb]
Ye Qingyue took two chopsticks of fried brine pork into her own small bowl, then put the big bowl back into the heat-insulating steamer, picked up the brine pork, stared at the boiling pot, and waited for the noodles to cook.
Although there are food in the space, how can it compare to this ready-made hot soup noodles?
Ye Mei also put a handful of green vegetables in it.
This vegetable was brought from the capital. Ye Qingyue was surprised at that time, why did Ye Mei not say goodbye and put such delicate things into the luggage to take with her.
Now it seems that her sister is still very far-sighted in cooking.
Sometimes the soul of a bowl of noodles lies in these few green leaves.
Noodles with green vegetables always have a more attractive fragrance than ordinary hot soup noodles.
Soon, the noodles were cooked in the big pot.
Ye Mei picked up a large bowl with long wooden chopsticks, added some noodle soup to it, arranged the green vegetables, stuffed it into Ye Qingyue's hand, and then picked up her own bowl.
Ye Qingyue had just sat down at the small low table in the kitchen and was about to eat noodles when she heard footsteps at the kitchen door behind her.
Ye Xianghong walked in with a tired look on her face, "Are you all awake?"
As she spoke, she smelled the noodle soup in the kitchen. Knowing that Ye Mei had added pork fat when cooking, she subconsciously touched her stomach.
Ye Qingyue looked at Ye Xianghong, then at the noodles in front of her that were tempting her, resisting the temptation and stuffing the chopsticks into Ye Xianghong's hand, "Mom, are you hungry? Eat quickly."
She was waiting for the next pot to be ready.
When Ye Qingyue touched her stomach, there was another bowl of noodles on the small table, and a pair of chopsticks was stuffed into her hand.
Ye Mei said, "You go and eat too."
Ye Qingyue was very moved, "Big sister, you are so nice to me..."
Ye Mei pushed her back to the small stool with disdain, and pouted her lips and said, "I'm afraid that when I eat, you will drool beside me and make me unable to eat!"
Ye Qingyue: "..." There is no need to ruin the atmosphere every time, big sister.
She was really too hungry, so she picked up the bowl and ate, and didn't push Ye Mei. This time was enough to make another pot of noodles.
Ye Mei took out the big bowl of braised pork from the steamer and put it on the small table, urging, "Mom, you should eat quickly, I'll go get another pot, it will only take a few minutes."
Ye Xianghong, who was trying to put the chopsticks into Ye Mei's hand, was pushed back to the small stool.
Ye Mei sent her younger sister and mother away and went to the stove to cook noodles.
Fortunately, she had foresight and was worried that the family would wake up at about the same time as her, so she boiled a large pot of water when cooking noodles.
Now that two bowls of noodles were added, the hot soup in the pot was enough for her to add two more bowls, without having to get cold water to boil again.
Otherwise, she would not have given her bowl directly to Ye Qingyue -
at most half a bowl.
The sisterhood between her and her younger sister was only enough to share this half bowl.
When Ye Mei took the noodles, Ye Feng also yawned and entered the kitchen.
Now the whole family is together.
Ye Mei no longer has to worry about it, and directly threw two handfuls of noodles into the pot.
For a while, no one spoke in the kitchen, only the sound of slurping noodles.
Four large bowls of noodles and a large bowl of fried brine, in the end there was not even any soup left.
Halfway through, Ye Mei saw that it was not enough to eat, so she ordered another bowl of noodles, and the family shared it all.
"How come the appetite gets better during the New Year."
Ye Qingyue drank the last mouthful of noodle soup and couldn't help sighing.
"Is there a possibility that you usually eat so much?" Ye Mei said faintly.
Ye Qingyue: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense."
If her colleagues in the hospital knew that she ate three bowls at a time, would she still have face?
"Don't go to bed right away. Walk around the house to avoid food accumulation." Ye Xianghong prepared to clean up the dishes and wash them.
"Got it, mother."
Ye Feng brought the dishes over and motioned him to wash them.
"I think there are some dried hawthorns I bought before the Chinese New Year at home. I'll get them to boil water to drink, which will also help digestion."
Ye Qingyue went to the upstairs bedroom and pretended to find dried hawthorns, but actually took them from the space.
When she boiled the hawthorn water, the family was also busy.
Ye Xianghong lit a stove in the main room, and the family gathered around the fire and sipped the hot hawthorn water.
"When it's daybreak, we'll go back to Xiangyang Village and find someone to rebury your father." Ye Xianghong said.
Ye Yong's body was not found after his death, and the grave in Xiangyang Village was just a cenotaph.
In addition, Old Man Ye's family is still in jail, so the relocation does not require anyone's consent, and only needs to be registered in the village.
In the past, the village chief would be asked to do this, but ever since Zheng Xia's identity as an enemy spy was exposed and he was arrested, the position of the village chief of Xiangyang Village has been vacant, and the affairs are managed by the captain.
Their family is on good terms with the captain, so the relocation process will not be troublesome. Ye
Qingyue said, "The New Year gifts to the captain's house seem to be in my bag. I'll go look for it later."
Ye Xianghong nodded, "I'll do the relocation with you. Xiaomei, take Afeng to handle the transfer procedures."
"Okay."
These were agreed upon in Beijing, and now it's just a matter of confirmation.
"After that, we will arrange for Qingyue to transfer to another school. We will resign and take our things back to Beijing."
Ye Xianghong didn't feel it was real when she talked about these things.
But in just half a month, she went to Beijing, and her life was suddenly turned upside down. Everything changed.
After finding her family, she had to leave Yunsheng County where she had lived for decades and settle down in Beijing...
Although most of the days in Jiangcheng were hard, Ye Xianghong also had many good memories.
She was reluctant to leave so suddenly, and she remained silent after she finished speaking.
Seeing her like this, the children didn't bother her.
When it was light, Ye Qingyue put a bunch of New Year gifts in a backpack and called Ye Xianghong out.
Walking on the familiar dirt road, Ye Qingyue thought that it was fortunate that he came when the weather was cold. If it was warmer, the muddy road would become softer and difficult to walk on.
Now it was hard, so it wouldn't get stuck in my feet and dirty my shoes. But it would be harder for the people digging the graves, as the hard soil was difficult to shovel, so she had to pay them more.
When they arrived at the entrance of Xiangyang Village, they could hear the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs from afar.
Even on a restful winter day, most villagers were used to getting up early, and many families had wisps of smoke rising from their kitchens. The diligent people had already eaten and were out for a walk in their thick cotton coats.
Seeing Ye Qingyue and Ye Xianghong, who were wearing new clothes and looked completely different, some villagers didn't recognize them at first. It was not until Ye Xianghong greeted them that they cautiously asked, "Ah Feng's mother?"
"I haven't seen you for a while, I almost didn't recognize you!"
"Your face is so pale, just like when you first came to Xiangyang Village..."
"Is this Qingyue? Oh, they say that girls change a lot when they grow up. Qingyue was pretty before, and she looks even prettier now!"
The aunties who were chatting at the entrance of the village came over and talked to the two of them.
Since Ye Qingyue got rid of the bad reputation of "a fox spirit" and treated people in the county hospital and occasionally helped people in Xiangyang Village, the villagers' attitude towards her family changed from avoiding them at the beginning to being close to them, and even respectful.
This is a family that has produced a great doctor!
Who can guarantee that they will not ask the doctor for help when they are alive?
Now no one is talking about Ye Qingyue's faults anymore. Even if there are one or two people who are jealous, they will be spitted at by the aunties or uncles who have received help from Ye Qingyue, and they dare not say anything more.
Ye Xianghong is not good at socializing with others. She just smiled occasionally and asked Ye Qingyue to take out some melon seeds and peach cakes and share them with these aunties.
After hearing a few auspicious words, Ye Xianghong followed with a few polite words and talked about business. She said, "Qingyue and I have to go to the captain's house to do some work, so let's not talk about it for now... Sisters-in-law, are the men in your families free these two days? I want to relocate Ayong's grave, but there are three or five people who help dig the soil and carry the coffin. It's not for nothing, they are paid."
