Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder in the ’70s

With something in mind, Ye Mi woke up very early in the morning.She opened her eyes to see that the sky was gray, and in a daze, she turned over Jing Ziheng’s wrist to look at the watch on it.　　

Three minutes past seven.　　

She instantly woke up.　　She forget that it dawns late in winter, and thought she had woken up early.　　

She quickly got up, hurriedly put on clothes and shoes, casually washed her face with cold water, to wake herself up, and ran into the kitchen.　　

She hurriedly put on firewood, poured water into the pot, sprinkle some washed rice and some dried shrimps, and cut some cabbage into it to cook porridge.　　

The firewood was burning hot, and the pot was bubbling and steaming quickly.　　

Ye Mi didn’t cover the pot, but put the steamer on it instead. In the steamer were big white steamed buns made last night, which were steamed by the heat of the porridge below, and they were very fragrant.　　

Taking advantage of the time while the buns were steaming with the porridge, Ye Mi ran to the window sill to take down the two glass jars that had been washed and dried last night.　　

The jars were left over from eating canned fruits, one of which was contributed by eating the canned yellow peaches that Jing Ziheng gave to her before their marriage. These kinds of jars were most suitable for packing pickles and meat sauce.　　

Zhang Xiaohong was leaving, Ye Mi thought about it and felt that any gift was not as practical as giving food.　　

She simply decided to get up early and prepare some convenient food for her to take with her on the road.　　The food in the educated youth courtyard is communal.　　

Because she was leaving, Zhang Xiaohong didn’t add in the food she had been distributed this year, but packed it away early and prepared to struggle carrying it back home, so it was not easy to use everyone else’s food to make a separate portion for herself to take away.　　

Therefore, Ye Mi predicted that she would not bring a lot of dry food, and it was just right for her to add another one.　　

There were pickles, capers, spicy and sour bamboo shoots, mushroom sauce, braised pork sauce and so on at home.　　

With the exception of the braised pork sauce, which was made by Ye Mi directly mashing the braised pork, the other dishes were not something that she and Mr. Jing could create.　　

The two of them would never cook such a side dish that required a unique secret recipe.　　

These were given by the neighbors, thanks to Teacher Jing’s good popularity.　　

Ye Mi remembered that Zhang Xiaohong liked spicy food, so she packed her a bottle of spicy and sour bamboo shoots, and another bottle of meat sauce.　　

One meat and one vegetable dish eaten with white flour steamed buns, which would be very hearty.　　

“Right, eggs!”　　

Suddenly remembering that she hadn’t collected any eggs, Ye Mi hurriedly ran to the chicken coop, frightened the chickens inside to the point their feathers flew around, and took out three eggs.　　

The three hens in her family lay three eggs a day, never too many or too few, they were very regular.　　

They don’t keep any eggs in the house, and all of them are eaten on the same day.　　

Yemi two, Jing Ziheng one.　　

Because Yemi needs long-term nutritional supplementation, so eat more eggs.　　

Today’s situation is special, Ye Mi decided to save her two eggs and give them to Zhang Xiaohong, and Jing Ziheng’s one was directly steamed for him and put in a bowl, and he would eat it together with the porridge when he got up.　　

While hurrying to prepare everything, nearly half an hour had passed.　　

Zhang Xiaohong’s train left at ten o’clock, in order not to miss the scheduled time, she needed to leave the village at eight o’clock to go to the town’s train station.　　

Time was running out!　　

Putting everything into a basket, and carrying the basket, Yemi ran out of the house and went straight to the entrance of the village.　　

She didn’t know if she would be able to meet anyone if she went to the Educated Youth Academy, so she went to the entrance of the village to wait.　　

Zhang Xiaohong had so many things that she couldn’t carry them by herself. She spent 50 cents and asked Uncle Chen, who drove the ox cart, to wait at the entrance of the village to take her to the town.　　

When Ye Mi arrived at the entrance of the village, she didn’t see Zhang Xiaohong, but she saw Uncle Chen sitting on the bullock cart chatting boredly with the old cow.　　

“Second Uncle Chen.” She walked over and took out a steamed bun from the basket and gave it to him: “Do you want to eat the white flour steamed bun that just came out of the cage?”　　

“Mi girl.” Uncle Chen took half of the steamed bun and took a big bite, and said vaguely while chewing: “You are here to wait for Zhang girl.”　　

“Well, I went out late, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find her in the Educated Youth Courtyard, so I just came here to wait.”　　

“That’s a coincidence.” Uncle Chen looked into the distance, smiled, and raised his chin to signal Ye Mi to look over: “Look, people came just as you arrived.”　　

Ye Mi turned her head, and she saw a group of people walking towards them with big bags and small bags.　　

Surrounded in the middle along with Zhang Xiaohong, were Bing Shuyuan and Chen Zetao.　　

This young couple is leaving today, the same day as Zhang Xiaohong, but on a different flight and a different destination.　　

However, out of mutual care, the three decided to go together.　　

This will be safer.　　

Seeing Ye Mi, Zhang Xiaohong immediately turned her head and talked to the people around her, then ran over quickly and stopped in front of her panting.　　

“I thought you weren’t coming to see me off!”　　

“How is it possible? We are good friends.” Yemi handed over the whole basket: “Take it, these are the dry food I prepared for you. It’s a parting gift. You can save it for the road.”　　

“Thank you!”

Zhang Xiaohong took it without looking carefully, just looked at Ye Mi and smiled, and her eyes were red when she smiled.　　

“Don’t cry.” Ye Mi was not very good at persuading others, so she could only cast her eyes on Gao Yuan for help.　　

Gao Yuan came up and patted Zhang Xiaohong on the shoulder: “Put away your tears and smile, it’s a pleasure to go bacj home, we are all happy for you.”　　

“Uh-huh.”　　

Wiping away the tears, Zhang Xiaohong nodded vigorously, trying to put on a smiling face, but it was uglier than crying.　　

Life in the countryside is very hard, but she finds it sweet to meet these girls who are also educated youths, and the captain and the villagers take good care of them.

Now that she is leaving, she feels that going to the countryside is not so bitter.　　

No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to face parting.　　

Ye Mi kept waving her hands until the bullock cart disappeared from sight, then turned and left with the others.　　

Returning to Xiaoda Village……….　　

As soon as he got home, Ye Mi bumped into Jing Ziheng who was pushing his bicycle and was about to go out.　　

“Where are you going?”
