Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder in the ’70s - Chapter 2.2

   Ye Mi, who was driven back to the house by the group, was a little helpless, even more so. Most of them are heart-warming. to say that the most fortunate thing for her since going to the countryside is that the atmosphere among the young people here is very good.

Although everyone comes from all over the world, and many people have different living habits, they will tolerate and understand each other. There is no big conflict, and the occasional small friction is harmless.

Life in the countryside is really hard, but if you help me, I will pull you up, and we will stumble and get through the days.

“Come on, this is your share.” Gao Yuan came in with two bowls of porridge, one in each hand.

She put a bowl in front of Ye Mi, took another bowl for herself, lowered her head and started to drink.

Ye Mi held the almost overflowing bowl. The porridge was so thick that it didn’t look like porridge, but rather like thinly cooked sweet potato rice. There was a large amount of pickles covered the yellowish rice grains, and the portion was obviously larger than others. many.

She picked up the spoon and took advantage of the gap in Gao Yuan’s mouth to stuff her with a few Large spoonfuls of porridge. The bowl of porridge in the bowl immediately went down by a third.

“What are you doing? Eat well by yourself, I have something to eat.” Gao Yuan hurriedly stopped her.

“I can’t finish it, please help me, don’t waste it.”

Ye Mi is not lying, she has a small appetite, and the bowl of porridge is not an ordinary bowl, but a small sea bowl comparable to a small basin , She really can’t eat so much porridge.

“You’re too skinny so eat more. If you don’t grow stronger, how can you do farm work.” Gao Yuan obviously knew Ye Mi’s food intake, and when she saw that she really couldn’t eat, she didn’t force her, so she ate up the extra porridge by herself.

It’s rare to eat enough.

After eating, everyone was busy boiling hot water and taking turns to take a bath. Ye Mi was sick and couldn’t take a bath, so she dipped a towel in hot water to wipe her body.

Lying on the bed, the day of rebirth passed like this.

After a busy day, everyone was so tired that they quickly fell asleep, but Ye Mi didn’t feel sleepy, and lay alone in the dark with her eyes open and thinking.

Thinking about what she will do in the future?

She died once, and she was deeply afraid of that feeling, and she didn’t want to repeat the same mistakes again, but the life in the countryside was not easy, asnd the bitterness was like soaking in a yellow lotus.

Unlike other educated youths, Yemi had a falling out with her family when she went to the countryside, and her parents and family did not send her subsidies every now and then. In her previous life, she went to the countryside for five years, and she did not receive a letter from her family until she died. Living like an orphan.

The remaining few yuan was from the New Years money she saved in the past and her mother secretly stuffed to her behind her father’s back before she went to the countryside. No matter how much she uses it sparingly, there is not much left.

She is not good at working by herself, she was born premature and her bones are naturally weak and most of the farm work depends on a handful of strength, which is really not something she can overcome if she wants to work hard.

Other educated youths can get seven or eight centimeters a day, and the more powerful ones can get up to ten, but she can only been able to get around five or six centimeters.

This is still because the team took care of her and gave her lighter work. Otherwise if she was really asked to farm. I’m afraid she would end up lying in the hospital before the land is finished planting. The centimeters she earns are not enough to pay for the medical expenses.

So it’s really hard to live a good life.

Originally, Ye Mi had always wondered why her family could be so unfeeling to her, and ignore her until she died of illness.

Now she understands.

She is just a small cannon fodder in a book, and her only role in life is to serve as a tool to push the heroine to go to the countryside to meet the hero, to complete the task. Wouldn’t she be abandoned by the plot if she became useless, and then for whatever reason she can then be deposed of?

By the way, the female lead is Ye Mi’s half-sister, called Ye Zi Zhi, who is one year older than her and went to the countryside in the next village.

At first, the family made this arrangement to let the two sisters take care of each other, but now Ye Mi thinks it is for the convenience of letting the heroine see how she dies, so as to relieve the grievances that have been held for many years.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Ye Mi took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the depressed feeling in her chest, and suddenly the words her mother told her before going to the countryside flashed in her mind.

You must never marry in the countryside, otherwise you will never be able to go back for the rest of your life.

Now Ye Mi wants to change this sentence, she can’t go back if she doesn’t get married.

At this moment, she made some sort of decision.

As soon as the rooster crowed in the morning, Ye Mi got up with everyone.
While putting on her clothes, Gao Yuan asked her, “Don’t you want to rest for a few more days before going to work? There is less work in the fields in winter, and there is no rush or anything.”

“No, I already earn less centimeters. I don’t have enough rations for next year.”

“Okay, remember to talk to the team leader later to cancel the leave, in case the scorekeeper forgets to record centimeters for you.”

“Got it.”

These days, every household is short of food and clothing. Basically, they only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, with at most hot water in between, and nothing else to eat.

Especially in winter, there is not much work, people move less, and eat more frugally.

In the morning, Ye Mi ate a small sweet potato and drank a large pot of water to fill her belly. Then she folded her arms together and tremblingly followed everyone to go to work.

The male educated youths from the courtyard next door had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when the female educated youths arrived, they formed a pile and walked together.

Ye Mi was dragged by Gao Yuan to walk in the middle. The other male youths helped keep out the wind. It was warmer when there were more people together, and her pale face eased.

When she arrived in the field, she separated from everyone, and went to the captain to say she wanted to cancel the leave.

The captain was squatting by the side of the ditch in a military overcoat, pinching a piece of soil to check the fertility, and looked up at her, with a few weather-beaten lines on his forehead, “Shouldn’t you rest for a few more days?”

“No, we are responding to the call of the state to help the rural construction, how can we take a rest because of such a minor illness? The most important thing is to not miss the work in the field.” Ye Mi expressed her attitude righteously.

The team leader liked to hear such positive words, and with a smile on his rough face he said, “Okay, you can go to Xiao Yuan and help the big guys keep track of centimeters.”

He gave an easy job specifically to take care of Ye Mi.

“Alright, thank you Captain.”
