Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback

"Brother Jian, this is something I made myself. You take it, it’s not worth much money." Saying this, she placed the bag into Jian Zhiqing’s hands. Jian Zhiqing didn’t ask what was inside the bag, nor did he refuse it; he certainly took note of the sentiment.

"Thanks, I’m leaving now," after saying that, he reached out his hand and, like he would do to his own little brother, ruffled her hair on top of her head, causing Qin Xiangnuan to blush deeply. She was already so old, yet he still touched her head; a woman in her forties with such a youthful face — she herself was at a loss for words.

Jian Zhiqing carried his brother along, leaving. Being so delicate, the little boy refused to walk at all, and with the station being crowded, it was better for him to carry him to avoid getting lost.

He bought his ticket and boarded the train. It was only after sitting down in his seat and arranging the luggage he was carrying that he remembered the item Qin Xiangnuan gave him, saying she made it herself. A gift light in value but heavy in sentiment, he indeed liked the gift, though he didn’t know what it was; probably something edible, and in such cold weather, whatever it was, it must have gotten cold.

He touched his stomach, thinking well, he had just eaten anyway, why not eat a bit more.

He opened the bag, and surprisingly, it wasn’t edible at all. Instead, it was a pair of cotton shoes, small enough for a child, barely bigger than one of his hands.

He took out the cotton shoes, touching them lightly with his fingers. They were quite soft and also very uniquely made, resembling a rabbit, complete with fluffy little fur and even lively eyes, especially the shiny rabbit ears, which were quite adorable.

He grabbed his brother’s little feet for comparison, and they indeed fit quite well.
