Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder in the ’70s

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 has come.　　

“Go 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.　　

“We live a good life here. If you miss us, come back to see us when you have time. Auntie mus’t miss you now. You should go back quickly and take good care of Auntie. Don’t let the family worry.” Ye Mi said comfortingly.　　

She knew that even without today’s consolation, Zhang Xiaohong would still leave in a few days.　　

In addition to the urgency at home, returning to the city is also the biggest dream of each of the educated youths. Now the hope is right in front of them, and it can be grasped with their hands. It is impossible for anyone to be willing to give it up.　　

Although her mother’s injury is very worrying, she had to say that Zhang Xiaohong was very lucky.　　She is the eldest sister in the family, and the oldest among her younger siblings was only twelve years old this year, which is not old enough. Her parents are dual-employed and don’t have many close relatives.　　

So when her mother had an accident, whether she wanted to find the eldest daughter to come back to help take care of the family, or in order to keep her job, in the end the only option was to call Zhang Xiaohong to go back to pick up her mother’s work.　　She was also able to take this opportunity to go back to the city.　　

The news quickly spread throughout Xiaotian Village, and the villagers didn’t react too much, as this matter had nothing to do with them.　　

However, inside the Educated Youth Courtyards, it was as if someone had thrown a big stone into the calm lake, causing a huge splash.　　Zhang Xiaohong was very annoyed in the past two days.　　

So annoyed that she couldn’t help but hide at Ye Mi’s house.　　

Ye Mi was holding a pot to water the newly transplanted mango tree. When she saw Zhang Xiaohong coming again, she asked directly, “Which flamboyant talent is trying to win the beauty’s heart again this time?”　　

“What flirtatious talent?” “It’s just a bunch of flies that see the crack of the egg, buzzing in my ear all day long, annoying the hell out of me!” Zhang Xiaohong was made cranky.　　

Ever since they found out that she was going back to the city, many people came up to her to get close.　　

Either they were asking her how she got to go back to the city, or they wanted to date her in the hopes that she would take them back to the city with her, and some of them even expressed their envy and jealousy in front of her.　　

Zhang Xiaohong would rather be irritated by people every day than see those men who want to suddenly date her again.　　Their thoughts were so obvious that she felt sick.　　

“Don’t these people know that even if they marry me, there is only one job in my family, and it is impossible for two people to go back together?”　　

“They know that.” After watering the tree, Ye Mi went to get some bran to feed the chickens: “But they’re just taking a gamble, maybe there is a glimmer of hope.”　　

Zhang Xiaohong shook her head speechlessly: “Crazy, they are all crazy.”　　

“Okay, don’t think so much, you’re leaving tomorrow morning, and your ears will be clean again by then.” Ye Mi persuaded her.　　

“That’s right. I haven’t seen my younger siblings for several years. When I left, my younger sister just learned to walk. Now I don’t know what she looks like.”　　

The action of spreading chaff was a paused, and then continued as if nothing had happened.　　

She also misses her brother.　　

If there was someone in the Ye family that Ye Mi still cared about, it would be her own younger brother, who shared the same father and mother.　　Back then, when Ye Mi wanted to drag her heroine sister to the countryside even if she died, besides being unwilling and resentful, she also wanted to protect her brother.　　

Her younger brother is still so young, stupid and naive, he can be easily coaxed away by others with a piece of candy, and he stays in that house, especially with a scheming half-sister, she is afraid that the little fool will be sold and still have to help count the money.　　

By taking away her elder sister’s influence from him, and at least the parents are close and can protect the younger brother.　　

“You didn’t write very carefully today.” Jing Ziheng took Ye Mi’s large characters for the day, and a red pen brushed and circled a dozen typos on it.　　

“Go ahead and give me a reason.”　　

He put down the red pen and propped his hands on the desktop with his hands folded against his jaw, gazing solemnly into Ye Mi’s eyes.　　It was a very oppressive gesture.　　

Ye Mi’s back straightened, and her fingers hidden under the desktop unconsciously clenched into fists, “I ……”　　

Her eyeballs rolled around, trying to find an excuse to fool him.　　

Before she could think about it, teacher Jing smacked her forehead and said, “Don’t have crooked thoughts, answer carefully.”　　

Sobbing and covering her head, Ye Mi obediently told the truth: “I miss my brother.”　　

Not expecting this answer. Jing Ziheng’s expression softened slightly, and he coaxed her softly: “Not this year, but after the New year why don’t I request a vacation with the team leader and take you home to have a look?”　　

“No.” Ye Mi turned cold and refused directly: “I don’t want to go back.”　　

“You ……” Jing Ziheng still wanted to say something, but was strongly interrupted by Ye Mi: “Tomorrow Zhang Xiaohong is leaving, I want to meet with friends., and think about whether to send some gifts to her.” 　　

“Just prepare it yourself, if you need money ask me for it.”　　

Seeing that she didn’t want to continue the previous topic, Jing Ziheng didn’t mention it.　　

“However…” He tapped on the big characters circled in red circles with his fingers: “As a punishment for not concentrating on your studies, you will memorize all the content you copied today.”　　

“Ah!” Yemi wailed.
