"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to wear it? Let me fix it." Gu Huaijin picked up the watch on the bedside table and explained.
"You can?" Song Zhi was surprised. The watch was a bit big and not very convenient to wear. It kept sliding around on his wrist.
"I'll try."
"Then be careful and don't break it." Gu Huaijin was silent. This was the first time someone questioned his craftsmanship.
But he still replied in a good tone, "Okay."
It was just a simple matter of drilling a hole on the watch strap, which Gu Huaijin finished in a few minutes. He took the watch to Song Zhi and asked her to try it on.
Song Zhi was skeptical. He took it and put it on his hand. "That's perfect. I didn't expect you could do this. I've seen you tinkering with electrical appliances before. Could you repair them?"
"good."
"You're quite modest. I know you can do it. Not many people can repair electrical appliances these days. Did you teach yourself?"
"Yes, I occasionally read some books about maintenance." Gu Huaijin put away the tools and answered her.
Song Zhi was shocked in her heart. He was worthy of being the male protagonist. With his IQ, he could learn things just by reading the book casually. She wouldn't understand even if she read it ten times. It was really frustrating to compare herself with others.
I thought to myself, and said unconsciously, "You learned it just by watching. You are really smart."
Gu Huaijin didn't know how to respond. It sounded like he was praising him, but he felt that it lacked some sincerity. If Gu Huaijin had learned modern advanced words, he might have been able to clearly feel that Song Zhi was playing tricks on him.
The next day, Gu Huaijin went to the army early in the morning, and Song Zhi was the only one left at home. After dinner, she planned to wait until the weather got warmer and then ride her bike to the town to see if the sofa factory had any sponges.
"Is this a new bicycle?" Aunt Zhao from next door was picking vegetables in the small vegetable garden outside the courtyard wall.
"Yes, I just bought it yesterday. It's more convenient to have a bicycle to go out." Song Zhi stopped and greeted Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao walked closer and looked around the bicycle. "This is the first time I've seen one like this. It doesn't have that beam in the front. It looks more convenient to ride than the one I have at home."
"It should be a new model. It just so happened that Lao Gu brought some new goods when he went to the county town yesterday. I thought my family also needed this thing, so I bought it."
"You guys are lucky. When my family bought that bicycle, we had to go there several times before we could get it."
"That's just a coincidence. I thought I wouldn't be able to buy it so soon." Song Zhi said with a smile on his face, echoing Aunt Zhao's words.
"Where are you going?" Aunt Zhao saw her pushing her bicycle out and realized that Xiao Song was not the kind of person who liked to show off, so she must be going on a long journey.
"I went to the sofa factory in town. I made a sofa cushion a few days ago. The old craftsman told me that there are sponges in the sofa factory. I can cut some and stuff it in to make it soft." Song Zhi explained.
"That's a good idea. I'll try it tomorrow. Xiao Song, can you bring me some things when you go to town?" Aunt Zhao suddenly remembered that there were still some cloth and cotton coupons left at home. Thinking that the weather had gotten colder recently, she wanted to take out all the children's cotton-padded jackets. Her eldest daughter was old enough to make others, so she thought about the coupons at home and it was enough to make a set of winter clothes.
"Of course, what does Auntie want to buy?" Song Zhi thought it was not a difficult task, so he agreed.
"There's a supply store in town that sells cloth and cotton. Go there and bring me six feet of blue cloth and two pounds of cotton to make Xiaoxue a winter coat. Wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get you the money and tickets."
Zhao Yun was about to go back to get the ticket, but Song Zhi quickly stopped him and said, "Auntie, don't rush to get the ticket. It will be the same if you come back. I'll go see if I have any first."
Zhao Yun thought about it and thought it would be the same if he came back to give it to her, so he stopped worrying about it. "Okay, I'll give it to you when you come back. Go quickly, you can come back early after buying it."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first, aunt."
Song Zhi started pedaling his bike hard on the road, but he was exhausted and out of breath in less than five minutes. He had no choice but to slow down. After all, the town was far away, unlike the last time when he could get there in just over ten minutes.
When Song Zhi arrived in the town, she felt sweat on her back and her legs felt a little swollen. She thought to herself that she had to go shopping today, otherwise it would be a shame!
She rode her bike slowly, looking around at the places she passed by.
There was really nothing attractive here. At that time, personal business had not been liberalized, and there were no stores run by individual businesses on the streets. The only big signs you could see were those of state-owned restaurants, post offices, and supply and marketing companies.
The post office was easy to find. Song Zhi planned to send the 900 yuan she had on her to her mother before going shopping. In this era, there was no surveillance and public security was very unsafe. She was a weak woman, so it was better to be safe.
"Hello, comrade, I want to send a letter." Song Zhi walked to the counter and said politely.
"Sent to...where?" The female comrade who originally received the letter had a round face, a bit like a baby face. She looked up impatiently at this moment, but when she saw Song Zhi, she paused and immediately changed to a gentle tone.
"Send it to Meihua Street, Dongcheng District, Kyoto." Song Zhi sent it back according to the address his mother told him last time.
"Is the girl an educated youth who went to the countryside?" The female comrade who received the letter took the letter and asked curiously.
"No, I came here to join the army some time ago." Song Zhi looked at the serious look of the girl in front of him and felt a little funny. She was obviously about the same age as him, but she was pretending to be mature.
"Follow the army, a military wife? I thought you were not married." What a pity, such a beautiful girl is already married, otherwise I could introduce her to my brother.
Song Zhi saw her expression of pity and didn't understand why, but he still answered honestly, "Yes."
