Chapter 8: 4.2

   Their pig raising brigade in Xiaotian Village is full of disasters.

    In the first year Ye Mi went to the countryside, the pigs got sick. All the sick pigs were taken away and burned to ashes. Only a few health pigs were left. Not even enough for the villagers to share themselves. Naturally it was not the turn for their newly arrived educated youths to get a share.

    In the second year, a group of wild wolves came down from the mountain, attacked the pigsty, and scared away most of the pigs. There was a lot of trouble at that time. Some of the lost pigs have not been found so far, and they may have been eaten up by wild wolves.

    At that time, Ye Mi earned too little centimeters to exchange for her own rations, and had to subsidize with part of her savings, so she couldn’t afford a share of pork.

    In the third year, this year, after the hard work in the past, the pigs finally lived peacefully until the time to be slaughtered under the careful care of everyone.

    This year Ye Mi could get a small piece of pork, but in order to save more food to survive next year, she exchanged her portion of the meat with Chen Chunxiang for five catties of coarse grain.

    After that, she would do the same thing every year, otherwise Ye Mi wouldn’t be able to survive five years alone in the countryside.

    But in the later stage, she had lost so much weight that she had almost lost her appearance and looked to be starving.

    Maybe after this experience, her being reborn she had developed an obsession with eating, but her appetite is small and she has nothing to eat, no matter how strong her obsession is, it can only be suppressed.

    Drinking the sweet potato porridge, Ye Mi couldn’t help but recall the meat buns she had just eaten.

    The steamed bun has a thin skin and stuffed with meat, and the gravy is thick, and the mouth is full of oil after one bite.

    After eating the buns, she took Jing Ziheng’s military water bottle and took a few sips of water to suppress the smell of meat in her mouth. Otherwise, the entire Educated Youth courtyard would know that she ate meat.

    Recalling the taste of meat buns, accompanied with sweet potato porridge, and soon half a bowl of porridge was eaten, Ye Mi covered her mouth and burped slightly.

    She hasn’t eaten herself so full for a long time.

    Going to bed at night, everyone lies on the Chase bunk together, and suddenly someone talked about the future.

    “Do you think, can we still go back to the city?” There was confusion in the voice.
    “…”

No one answered, and everyone was equally confused and uncertain about the answer to this question.

    There is no light in the room, and Ye Mi can only hear who is speaking. The third female educated youth sleeping on her left is Bing Shuyuan. She is 25 years old this year. She is one of the older educated youths who went to the countryside earlier.

    When she asked this question, she didn’t really want to get everyone’s answer, because she already had the answer herself.

    “I might be getting married.”

    She felt that she could only stay in this place for the rest of her life. She would never return to the home she missed day and night, and she would never see the prosperity of the big city again.

    “With whom?” Chen Chunxiang asked in a low voice.

    “Chen Zetao.” Ye Mi mentally answered, he was another male educated youth who was also one of the older set in the educated youth courtyard.

    In the previous life, Ye Mi also went to the wedding banquet of the two of them, and gave 50 cents as the gift, which was spending a tenth of her remaining savings.

    Oh, and it’s one-sixth now.

    It seems that after so many years, all her math hasn’t returned to her teacher.

    After getting married, Bing Shuyuan and Chen Zetao applied to the captain for a homestead, and used their savings to build a small house and moved out.

    After she left, other people who lived in the same room with Ye Mi would marry one after another, and the ones who families had a way to get them back to the city, returned to the city. In the end, only Ye Mi, Gao Yuan and Chen Chunxiang were left.

    The huge house will suddenly become deserted.

    This time, the house might be even more deserted.
    Because she is leaving too.

    If her marriage with Jing Ziheng is successful, Ye Mi will definitely move out to live with him. Jing Ziheng has a separate teacher’s dormitory at the village primary school, and she should live there as well.

    Do you want to write a letter and tell your family?

    This idea turned around in her head before being rejected by Ye Mi.

    No one cared about her, so don’t be too affectionate and make a fool of herself.

    The next few days passed very peacefully. Yemi got up early every day to go to work with everyone, she rested after work, and repeated the same thing the next day.

    Monotonous and uninteresting.

    Sometimes when she passed by the village committee office, she fell into a daze when she saw the calendars torn out one by one.

    It’s been so long, about a week or so.

    Why is there no news from Jing Ziheng?

    He regretted it?

    Don’t want to marry her?

    He should just tell her, what’s the use leaving people to hang like this?

    “Ye Mi, come here.” Secretary Chen’s daughter-in-law Shen Chunxia stood on the ridge and waved at Ye Mi. Ye Mi, who was harvesting beets with everyone. She gestured to Ye Mi to come over.

    “Hey, wait a minute, aunt.”

    Ye Mi straightened her waist, and almost fell forward again, she clenched her hands into fists, and pounded at her back. After a while, she took a hard step and walked up the field ridge.

    “Auntie, what do you want to see me about?”

    “What can I look for you for? Of course someone else is looking for you.” Shen Chunxia winked and joked at Ye Mi, and pushed her towards the entrance of the village with a smile.

    “Go, go, go, your partner took half a day off with the team for you, and said that he would take you to the town to take a photo and buy a new set of clothes. Girl, don’t wrong yourself, remember to pick two more nice looking sets to wear, and buy some headbands, hair flowers and scarves and so on, marriage is a big event in a lifetime, you can’t deal with it carelessly.”

At the entrance of the village, at the stone monument of Xiaotian Village………

    The handsome young man who was riding a 28-bar bicycle, his long, slender legs were slightly tense, one foot on the ground, propping up the bicycle, looking sideways at her.

Through the gold rimmed lenses, Ye Mi seemed to see a hint of tenderness.
