Whether it was a female youth or a village girl or daughter-in-law, their underwear had to be made by themselves.  

There was nothing for sale outside.  

Even if they were sold, no one would dare to buy them.  

It would be humiliating for their acquaintances to see them.  

But most of the female youths were so bad at sewing that they couldn’t do it at all.  

In the past, everyone bought fabrics and asked Yemi to help them make them, and then they would later add to her food.  

This time Chen Chunxiang thought that since she wanted to order clothes, she might as well order a set of underwear at the same time, which would save trouble.  

After making a few clothes, Ye Mi charged Chen Chunxiang three and a half dollars.  

Cotton trousers are more troublesome. In addition to sewing the inner and outer layers, cotton must also be added to the inside, so one piece amounts to one yuan. Underwear are simpler, and two pieces are combined for 5 cents.  

Chen Chunxiang paid the full amount on the spot, she had 100% confidence in Ye Mi’s craftsmanship.  

After taking the money, Ye Mi naturally had to work overtime to get it done, but she still had to copy and memorize books every day, and she always felt that the time was not enough.  

In order to squeeze out more time, not only did Ye Mi’s speed at copying books get faster and faster, but even the speed of memorizing them.  

she could now finish copying 3,000 words in two hours, while keeping her handwriting neat and tidy. The same goes for memorizing, which was contained to ten minutes a day, and the study time was accurate to the minute.  

Jing Ziheng couldn’t help sighing after seeing it, human potential really had no limit.  

Even while being so busy, Ye Mi still had the time to make two pairs of cloth shoes for the two of them.  The cloth used to make the shoes was left over from the cloth bought when the two got married, and now all of it is used by Ye Mi, not even a small piece the size of a fingernail was wasted.  

“Try to see if it fits.”  

Ye Mi placed the newly made shoes at Jing Ziheng’s feet.  

Jing Ziheng tried it out, and found that the shape of his feet fit well, and he stood up and tried to walk again, “It doesn’t rub my feet at all, it’s very comfortable.”  

“That’s good.”  

“Try yours too.” Without giving Ye Mi time to react, Jing Ziheng squatted down, held Ye Mi’s slender ankles, took off the worn-out shoes on them, picked up the new pair, and put them on for her. .  

Suddenly her foot was lifted, Ye Mi couldn’t stand still, she subconsciously supported herself using Jing Ziheng’s shoulders, and looked down at him changing her shoes.  

Both of her ears blushed hot, and her cheeks were red as well.  

Ye Mi pursed her lips, suddenly thirsty.  

“Okay, take two steps.” Jing Ziheng let go of her foot, and raised his head, a black shadow fell in front of his eyes, and then his thin lips were imprinted by another pair of soft lips.  

Like a dragonfly touching water, it bounced away extremely quickly.  

The little girl who had done something bad ran to the yard, bounced on the spot a few times, and burst into a bright smile: “These shoes are so comfortable, It deserve to have been made by me.”  

If one could ignore her little red cheeks, maybe Jing Ziheng would believe that she was really happy for the new shoes.  

It was clearly a cat that had successfully stole the fish.

…………………  

After the pigsty at home was demolished, the village primary school happened to be on winter vacation.  

On the first day of the holiday, Jing Ziheng called the three brothers Shen Dahu to go up the mountain to look for mango trees.  

With the expansion of the Shen family, the yard also became bigger, and there was more open space.

Hearing that Ye Mi’s family was going to bring back a fruit tree to plant, the Shen family was also moved by the idea.  

The main reason is that Shen Dahu’s wife was found to be pregnant earlier, and recently she liked eating sour things, especially sour mangoes.  

It was impossible to have mangoes at this time of year. Even if they managed to bring back a mango tree and plant it now, they would not be able to eat it until May next year at the earliest.  

But who in the entire world is more important to a family than it’s offspring?  

Especially the one in Shen Dahu’s wife’s womb, this is the first child in their family, the whole family attaches great importance to it, and of course they must try their best to satisfy the child’s wishes.  So the two families joined together and went up the mountain together to find trees.  

Ye Mi didn’t follow, it was too cold outside, she didn’t want to go out, and with her weak physical strength, she couldn’t climb the mountain either.  

She didn’t want to go out, and she couldn’t climb up the mountain with her strength. So she didn’t want to cause trouble for them.  

She invited Gao Yuan and the others to come to their house to cut window flowers.

(Traditional decoration using red paper done for the Chinese New Year )

The Chinese New Year is coming, and those things had to be prepared in advance.  

Gao Yuan and the others came over after breakfast. Each of them carried a small basket with red paper and small scissors for cutting, and someone brought a pen for drawing.  

The four of them gathered around the table to make crafts, chatting as they did so.  

As they chatted, they didn’t know when the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.  

Zhang Xiaohong hung her head, cutting the red paper in her hand one by one, tears fell down as she cut.  

“Why are you crying?” Ye Mi, who was sitting opposite her, was the first to notice the abnormality and hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.  

Taking the handkerchief and wiping away her tears, Zhang Xiaohong still didn’t dare to look up, and said in a low voice, “I…I’m leaving.”  

“Go? Where are you going?” Gao Yuan asked suspiciously, and Chen Chunxiang beside her was also puzzled.  

There was a hint of bewilderment in Ye Mi’s expression.  

It turned out that the time had come.  

“Going home.”

Holding back her emotions, Zhang Xiaohong was able to continue talking: “My mother fell down a while ago and her femur was broken. The doctor said that she will have to take care of it for at least three months before she can recover. There is a vacancy in her job. My family sent a telegram asking me to go back to takeover my mother’s job.”  

“It’s a good thing to be able to go back to the city, why are you crying?”  

“Slap!”

Gao Yuan finally couldn’t hold back and slapped Chen Chunxiang this time: “Shut up if you can’t speak.”  

“I’m worried about my mother, but I can’t bear to part with you.” But she really wanted to go back to the city.  

The contradictory thoughts tormented Zhang Xiaohong for two days, and now she couldn’t bear it anymore, so she cried.
