Chapter 3: Delicious Lamb

The meat was cooked quickly. Although Ye Yuze had just come from the afterlife, that world had already begun to pay attention to health preservation and weight loss.

But this little body was really lacking in nutrition!

Mom handed him a leg of lamb. Ye Yuze grabbed it and bit it. Then he tore it hard, and a large piece of lamb meat was in his mouth.

"It smells so good!" Ye Yuze chewed and blew a breath.

There was no way, the freshly cooked meat was so damn hot!

Mom didn't eat it, just stared at him blankly. After a while, her eyes were blurred by tears.

Dad reached out to wipe her and comforted her: "Okay, you're back now, right? Can't you just give him more nourishment?"

Mom opened his hand. "It's all your fault. You had to come here. You made your own child unable to eat meat. Look how thin he is?"

But his younger brother Ye Yufan dealt with the lamb neck in his bowl without hesitation.

Maybe because she has lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, Mom also cooks meat in the local style. There were not many pieces of a sheep. Ye Yuze had to hold almost every piece of meat with both hands at his age.

Ye Yufan faced a piece of sheep neck, but he didn't eat it so roughly.

He held a small knife in his hand. He quickly cut off a piece and put it in his mouth. He didn't chew it for a few times. He cut another piece with his hands.

Ye Yuze finally understood the use of the knife. He ran back to the bed and picked up the knife his brother had given him.

The meat was very fragrant. The sheep in northern Xinjiang were really different from those in the inland areas.

Sheep in the inland areas all had a strong fishy smell. It took a lot of seasoning to suppress it.

But Ye Yuze saw his mother cooking meat. He just added some salt.

But this meat had no other peculiar smell except for the fragrance. Even the fat layer on the surface of the mutton was not greasy.

After a meal, half of the meat was left in the pot. But he couldn't eat it anymore.

Ye Yuze touched his stomach and stopped his hand with reluctance. There was no way, his heart was big and his stomach was small.

Mom got some water and asked the little brother to wash his hands and feet. It was already dark at this time.

Ye Yuze took a train for three days and four nights to come back from Tangcheng. He took a car for two days.

His father went to pick him up and was also tired. After all, anyone would be exhausted after a journey of nearly a week.

This year, Ye Yuze was eight years old and his younger brother was five years old. The two of them slept in the big bed in the outer room.

The younger brother seemed unaccustomed to someone sleeping in the same bed with him. He rolled over and over in the quilt for a long time before falling asleep.

There were snoring sounds from the inner room, and both parents fell asleep.

Ye Yuze opened his eyes wide, not sleepy at all. Today's experience was a bit messy, he had to sort it out!

In one day, he not only traveled thousands of kilometers. He also traveled 43 years.

Because of the wholehearted despair brought about by the breakup with Cao Qingqing, it now seemed to be a matter of the last life in his heart. Even the memories were colorless.

Ye Yuze touched his little hand and was a little speechless. Wasn't it the last life? I just don't know if I can meet her again in this life?

The lights were off, but the room was not dark. The silvery moonlight was brighter than the dim street lights in Tangcheng.

Through the window, you can see the sky full of stars. They are so dense that they really look like a river.

It seems that the ancients called the Milky Way the Tianhe for a reason.

It's just that people in later generations don't see this kind of scenery much. The pollution is too serious. On a clear day, you can see a few stars sparsely, and the children can cheer and jump.

Ye Yuze held the wolf tooth in his hand again. He bought it from a stall in Panjiayuan Market in the imperial capital.

Antiques and jade are popular in later generations. But he, a poor loser, doesn't have the savings to play with these.

It was just once in a while that he accompanied his friends to stroll around Panjiayuan Antique Market. He fell in love with this pendant at first sight.

I don't know why I spent 3,000 yuan on it when I was so hormonal.

That was the largest amount of savings he had since he started out on his own.

Everyone said it was not worth it, and Ye Yuze regretted it. But since he bought it, he just hung it around his neck. He never took it off.

He looked at his palm, and the wounds from the two crossings disappeared without a trace.

Can he go back? He was a little confused. But why go back? The only love in this life has been shattered.

Closing his eyes, every bit of his time with Cao Qingqing appeared in front of him.

I really want to go back and see her. Just one look. Ye Yuze missed her silently in his heart.

Although his heart no longer hurts. But he is still worried. After all, it's been nearly five years of love, how can he let it go and have a spring dream without a trace?

I don't know when, Ye Yuze fell asleep. This is the most peaceful sleep he has had in more than a year.

The stove is burning the residue left after the rapeseed is squeezed for oil.

This thing will catch fire and is very resistant to burning.

The company where Ye Yuze's family is located belongs to the infrastructure company of the first regiment under the ninth division of the Corps.

The company is stationed in a small ravine. The ravine runs east-west. It is blocked by two mountains on the north and south sides.

In the quiet night sky, the moon emits a cold light. Everything was covered with snow, appearing white.

If it weren't for the occasional smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof, no one would know that there were people living here.

"Command!"

"Fight!"

The two soldiers at the handover post saluted each other and changed their posts.

They returned home, took off their guns and became ordinary people. They tucked in the corners of the quilt for their children. Then they went to bed quickly. They had to go to work early tomorrow morning.

Although the infrastructure company did not stop farming and grazing, they were all side jobs here.

Because they guarded a small river, a hydroelectric power station was built here. It was responsible for the power generation of the entire regiment.

There is also an oil mill. It consumes tens of thousands of tons of rapeseed every year. The oil extracted is to be supplied to the soldiers of the entire division.

There is also a vermicelli factory and a bean product factory. Although the name is the infrastructure company, it actually does the work of the sideline company.

In fact, the main task of the infrastructure company stationed here is to ensure the operation of the hydropower station.

Northern Xinjiang is not like the inland. It is covered with ice and snow in winter.

And the operation of the hydropower station requires water flow. The soldiers in the company have the task of breaking ice every day.

If the ice is too thick, the water flow will be weak. It can't drive the operation of the generator set.

So throughout the winter, the work of the soldiers in the infrastructure company is to break ice.

There were no machines in that era. The weather was minus 20 to 30 degrees. Holding a pickaxe and a hammer, they sucked ice in the river every day.

You can imagine how it felt. The key is that you can't do this job standing on the shore. You must wear water pants to go into the river.

You will often get wet when working in the water. Once your clothes get wet, they will be frozen like iron immediately.

How would it feel to wear it?

But for the electricity of the whole regiment and tens of thousands of people in the local area. No matter how hard or tiring it is, we have to keep working.

Most of the soldiers in the Corps are military veterans. Soldiers of that era were not afraid of death to complete their missions. What about this kind of difficulty?
