Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder in the ’70s

“What’s the matter? Brother Erhu, just tell me, I will help you if I can.”

　　Since moving here, Shen Chunshui’s family has helped their family a lot. Now that the other party as a need, if Ye Mi can help, she will naturally not shirk.

　　”This.” Shen Erhu embarrassedly stretched out the arm that had been hidden behind his back, and two indistinct blushes appeared on his big dark face: “I want to ask sister Yemi to help me make a dress.”

　　Fearing that Ye Mi would misunderstand, he quickly waved his hand and added another sentence of explanation: “It’s not for me to wear, but for my future wife.”

　　”I see.”

　　Ye Mi burst out laughing.

　　What Shen Erhu was holding in his hand was a piece of bright red floral earthencloth, if it was really for him to wear .

　　That scene………..Ye Mi didn’t dare to imagine.

　　”What kind of clothes do you want? Do you want trousers, a top, a skirt or a coat? And do you know the size of the clothes of the future sister-in-law Erhu? If you don’t know, I can’t make them for you.”

　　Shen Erhu was a little confused by Ye Mi’s series of questions.

　　He scratched his head and couldn’t help thinking, is it so difficult to make a dress?

　　Ye Mi answered Shen Erhu affirmatively: It’s difficult, so I have to collect money.

　　However, for the sake of the relationship between the two families, she would give him a discount.

　　”Don’t worry about this Yemi girl, I will definitely give you the money.” Since Shen Erhu would come to the door, he must have inquired about Yemi’s affairs in advance.

　　In fact, he knew that his own mother had revealed the news.

Aunt Shen just casually talked about it at home, but she didn’t expect her second son to hear it, and even take action.

　　But this can also explain the accuracy of this news.

　　After all, Aunt Shen is not the average tale bearer in the village. Who whatever they say is hardly be trusted, and there is only about 7 to 8% of the truth in it.

　　”Let’s make a jacket. It’s cold and the jacket is warm.” Shen Erhu’s request was very simple: “As for the size…you can make it according to my mother’s figure, and it will definitely fit her.”

　　Ye Mi recalled Aunt Shen’s body shape.

　　A bit short and chubby, put on a thick padded jacket in winter, and walk like a moving winter melon.

　　It seems that Brother Erhu’s future wife is a bit plump.

　　It is best to make the jacket bigger. Anyway, the jacket is worn outside, and it is convenient to wear a few more clothes inside if it is bigger.

　　Like what brother Erhu said, warm!

　　”Brother Erhu, if you want to make a jacket, you have to get me some more cotton.” Yemi took the homespun cloth and measured it. There was still some leftover cloth for a garment.

　　”Okay, I happen to have it at home, I’ll get it for you when I go back.”

　　Shen Erhu hurried home to get the cotton, not even hearing someone calling him on the road.

　　”Brother Erhu…” Wang Guihua stood by the side of the road, watching Shen Erhu ignore her and ran over, the originally smile froze on her face.

　　She is so big and stuck out like a pestle from a morter, is he, Shen Erhu, blind?

　　Before Wang Guihua could figure it out, Shen Erhu, who ran over, came back again, holding an oversized woven bag in his arms, which blocked his sight.

　　He tilted his head to watch the road carefully, passed by Wang Guihua little by little, and then skipped by her.

　　The main reason is that the position of Shen Erhu’s side of his head and Wang Guihua happened to be staggered, so he didn’t see anyone there at all.

　　Frowning, Wang Guihua, who felt something was wrong, simply followed Shen Erhu.

　　She wanted to see what this man was going to do.

　　Shen Erhu is her future man, she has to watch closely.

　　Wang Guihua, who followed Shen Erhu from a distance, watched him knock on the door of a house, and a young girl as beautiful as a fairy came out of the door.

　　No, that person has now become a shameless vixen in Wang Guihua’s eyes.

　　She watched Shen Dahu bring the big bag of things to the vixen. The vixen said something with a seductive smile, then turned around and went back to the house, took out a bamboo basket, and took out a large ball of cotton from the bag.

　　Cotton!

　　So much cotton given all to this vixen, how much money would it cost?

　　Wang Guihua was so angry that she almost crushed a mouthful of her silver teeth.

　　Ye Mi filled the basket with about half of the cotton, sealed the mouth of the bag, and returned it to Shen Erhu.

　　”Brother Erhu, you brought too much cotton. I can use this amount to make a jacket. You can take the rest back. I remember Aunt Shen said earlier that she would make two new quilts. Don’t worry. its enough.”

　　”Okay.” Shen Erhu cheerfully picked up the woven bag full of cotton, took out a crumpled ball of money from his pocket and handed it to Ye Mi.

　　They are all ten-cent bills.

　　”This is one dollar, I believe in the sister’s craftsmanship.”

　　He gave the full amount.

　　”You don’t need that many.” Ye Mi counted out five, and returned the rest to Shen Erhu: “Didn’t I say it before, it’s cheaper for you.”

　　The Shen family took care of them so much, it stands to reason that they shouldn’t take money from them.

　　But Ye Mi wants to turn her craftsmanship into a business, so it is impossible not to charge money, otherwise everyone will take advantage of it in the name of affection in the future, and she will not be able to continue this business.

　　But it’s still possible to give it as cheap as possible.

　　”Okay, then thank you, sister.” After accepting the fifty cents returned by Ye Mi, feeling that he had taken advantage of others, Shen Erhu blushed again, feeling very embarrassed.

　　Yemi could see it.

　　Even if his skin is dark, it won’t affect the fact that Shen Erhu likes to blush.

　　She sent Shen Erhu away and went back with the cotton, but she didn’t realize that the whole conversation between the two was watched by a strange woman.

　　Jing Ziheng rode his bicycle straight to the town post office.

　　He first took all the mails with his name on them, and then he took out the annual gift he was going to send to his family, the most important thing was the one prepared by his little wife.

　　Before sending the mail, you need to disassemble and inspect the goods first, incase you sent something dangerous that you are unaware of, and you will be held responsible if you do not inspect the goods.

　　This process is common for all national mail.

　　Jing Ziheng prepared two sets of things for his family, one for his parents, some local specialties, and a letter with money in it.

　　There are a lot of fruits here. Fresh fruits are heavy and difficult to transport. They can’t be sent, but preserved and dried fruits are very delicious. There are also some pastries similar to mung bean cake, kidney bean cake and snow cake. They are also very famous. Jing Ziheng bought some of each and sent them back to his parents to try.

　　In the letter, he briefly wrote some words of concern and greetings, and focused on telling his parents about his little wife.
