Tian Xinmiao picked up the insole and looked at the flower pattern that had been formed on the insole was the shape of the eight-petal plum blossom she had learned to make.

After a long time, she couldn't remember the number of cross stitches that she had sewn into the rows and columns of this shape, and the petals that had been formed just provided her with a reference.

Tian Xinmiao, who felt that he had finally found something to do, was in a better mood, put the insoles aside, lowered his head to take the needles and colored threads, and prepared to start sewing the insoles now.

Looking down, she saw a small package wrapped in a small piece of white 'really good' in the small package, judging by the situation, it should be a hard object inside, it must have been covered by the insole just now, she didn't see it.

Tian Xinmiao frowned and picked up the small package, put it in the palm of his hand, and stared at the white 'really good' shaped like a small handkerchief, and some memories seemed to gradually become clear in his mind.

This square white 'Cheng Liang' was cut from the one-foot-long 'Cheng Liang' where she sewed the insole, and after sewing the edge herself, she was going to embroider Ruan Haocheng's name in the corner and give it to him as a gift.

But I tried it on the old cloth several times, but in the end I had to give up because the embroidery was too ugly.

Later, when I was packing the package, I happened to see this handkerchief, so I used it to wrap things.

Tian Xinmiao opened the handkerchief and looked at the two things inside, and his eyes gradually became wet.

She remembered correctly, inside were her most precious things, one was an electronic watch, the second was a small paper bag, which should be an electronic watch battery, and the other was the ten yuan that her brother stuffed into her before leaving.

After she finished junior high school, she was not admitted to the primary secondary school, and her parents decided not to let her go to school, but her brother insisted that he could save enough for her tuition every year, and her parents couldn't resist her brother, so they finally agreed to let her continue to go to high school.

In order to save his tuition, in addition to farm work in the dry fields during the busy farming season, whenever he has time, he will go out to catch scorpions, centipedes, or dig prickly roots and licorice, and then sell them to the medicinal herb purchasing station area in the county.

In the slack time, he went to Sichuan or the county town to work as a coolie to earn money.

The electronic watch wrapped in the handkerchief was bought by her brother from the county seat for twenty-two yuan when she went to high school in the county seat.

At the beginning of this year, she was engaged to Ruan Haocheng, and after she stopped going to school, she was reluctant to use this electronic watch again, so she took out the battery, wrapped it in paper, and wrapped them in an old cloth and stored them.

Tian Xinmiao picked up the electronic watch, opened the back cover, and then took out the battery wrapped in a small paper bag, put it in the case, and then covered the cover.

She flipped it over expectantly, but the screen of the electronic watch didn't light up as she expected.

She opened the back cover again, removed the battery and reinstalled it, then flipped it over again expectantly, but the screen still didn't light up.

Maybe it's because the battery has been sitting for a long time and the power has been lost, so it seems that she has to buy another battery.

She had to take out the battery in disappointment and was about to close the back cover, but when the back cover was about to be closed, she saw a very thin wire at the battery card slot that seemed to be warped.

Tian Xinmiao frowned, took the electronic watch to his eyes, and carefully moved the wire with his fingers, only to find that the connection of the wire had fallen off.

Glancing at the raised solder paste where the wire should be connected, she couldn't help but sigh softly, if there was an electric soldering iron, she could have reconnected the wire.

Thinking of his well-equipped study, Tian Xinmiao sighed again.

In this era, in this place, she is afraid that she will not be able to find an electric soldering iron.
