The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

The next morning, Hua Rendong went to the city post office to withdraw the money on the remittance slip. It was a full 2,000 yuan, 10 yuan a piece, two thick stacks in her hand. In this era, most people cannot save this much money in their lifetime.

After putting the money into the space, Hua Rendong went to the department store and bought a few cans of malted milk and candies and pastries.

There is still some Dacron in the space that I got with Sui Yong last time. I took it back this time and asked my aunt-in-law to find someone to make a few tops for me. The weather is getting hot, and they can be worn once they are made.

When I came out of the department store, I saw the old lady I saw in the county department store last time, holding her little grandson's hand.

This time, the old lady was still carrying a broken basket on her arm.

Hua Honeysuckle walked over and took a look inside. There were still more than 20 eggs in it. She couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Auntie, are you selling eggs?"

The old lady recognized Honeysuckle as soon as she saw it. In recent times, Honeysuckle has almost always lived in the educated youth center of Taohuawan Brigade. The old lady avoided it the few times she saw it from afar.

After asking around, I found out that she was a relative of Zhou Lai Fu, worked in the Municipal Women's Federation, and came to the brigade to carry out publicity work.

The old lady has been very restless during this period, fearing that she would be recognized by Hua Honeysuckle and reported. She also avoided Hua Honeysuckle in the team.

Unexpectedly, I didn't meet Hua Honeysuckle in the team, but was blocked in the city.

Thinking that the city was the territory of Honeysuckle, the old lady's legs trembled a little, and she tightened her grip on her grandson's hand, "No, I didn't sell eggs, I just wanted to visit my relatives."

After saying that, she wanted to bypass Hua Rendong and leave, but Hua Rendong stopped her, "Auntie, don't be afraid, I won't report you."

The old lady felt relieved when she heard this and asked tentatively, "Then why are you stopping me? Do you want to buy eggs?"

Honeysuckle picked up an egg, held it to the sun, and then put it to her ear to listen. The old lady looked embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, young lady. The eggs this time are all fresh and will not hatch chicks."

Thinking of the last time the old lady was selling eggs and the eggs were hatched before she could sell them, I couldn't help but laugh.

The old lady saw her smile and started to smile too. The little grandson she was holding started to smile too when he saw his grandmother and the elder sister who bought their chicks last time smile.

You know what, this smile is quite adorable. Hua Honeysuckle took out a piece of candy and handed it to him. The child looked at his grandmother and only took it after his grandmother hesitated and nodded.

"Thank you sister!"

Hua Honeysuckle touched his little face. His clothes were torn, but washed clean. His little face was dark, but washed very clean, and felt tender to the touch.

Hua Rendong smiled and took back her hand, "Auntie, you two haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."

The old lady's smile disappeared, and she immediately looked at Hua Jindong warily, "Girl, I don't have any money, I just have these twenty or so eggs."

What he meant was, if you want to cheat someone, don't choose one like us who are so poor.

Hua Rendong said helplessly: "I just saw that we are both living in Taohuawan Brigade now, and I just happened to meet you and treat you to something to eat. I don't mean anything else."

The old lady opened her mouth in surprise, "Did you see me?"

Did you see that? Of course not!

She didn't know whether the old lady was intentionally avoiding her or if they were just not destined to be together. She searched for her in Taohuawan Brigade for more than half a month and even went to the cowshed to look for her, but every time the old lady was not there.

But she knew that the old lady was sent down to Taohuawan Brigade along with her old man, so even if she didn't see her, she had to say that she saw her.

So he nodded, "I saw it, otherwise why would I come here when I saw you? We are acquainted, and you know me well. I like your little grandson very much, so I wanted to take him to dinner."

The old lady's worry was finally put at ease. She said, she could not be wrong in judging people. This girl came from a well-off family, had never suffered, and was as naive as a little fool, otherwise she would not have bought more than 20 chicks from her last time.

How could such a person report her? Look, she even invited him and his grandson to dinner.

The relieved old lady smiled broadly at Hua Rendong, "Girl, how can I be so embarrassed to ask you to treat me to a meal? Why don't you buy us some buns, preferably ones with meat, so we can take them home and eat them slowly."

Hua Honeysuckle knew that she wanted to take it back for the old man to eat, so she agreed without exposing her.

If the old lady was a person who needed to be suspected, then such an opportunity to get closer to her could not be missed. It was not as if she hadn't seen that when the old lady looked at her, although she was smiling, her eyes were as if she was looking at a fool. Being treated as a fool by the old lady might not be a bad thing.

And if the old lady is fine, her husband will be rehabilitated in a few years. Even if he can't use it, there is no harm in making friends with him.

The buns sold in the state-owned restaurant were big and delicious. Hua Yindong also liked them, so he bought sixty of them and put thirty of them in his cloth bag.

Seeing the old lady staring at her cloth bag with envy, Hua Honeysuckle took out a new one, put the remaining thirty buns in it, and handed it to the old lady.

"Oh, how can I say this?" The old lady said she was embarrassed, but she took the cloth bag and stuffed it into her broken basket. "Thank you very much, Comrade Hua. I will take little Gazi and leave first. I will treat you to dinner later." After that, she took her grandson and left.

The waiter could hardly hold back the smile on his face. Seeing that Hua Rendong was not angry, he asked, "Is she your relative? The old lady is quite interesting."

Hua Honeysuckle also smiled, "Sister, what delicious food does the restaurant have today?"

The waiter perked up when he heard that. "Yes, you came early. We have braised pork today. The pork is from the mountains and tastes better than the pigs raised in the production team."

Hua Rendong knew that Hua Jianshe's family loved braised pork, so she asked the waiter to issue tickets for three servings of braised pork and two servings of pork and scallion dumplings. While she was issuing the tickets, she went out and took out a stack of lunch boxes from the space.

After packing the lunch box, he still did not forget to leave a line of praise in the suggestion book before leaving.

Even after walking a long way, I looked back and saw the waiter waving to me enthusiastically!

After putting the buns and lunch box into the space, Hua Jindong changed her clothes and went to find her third brother. She took two more bags of medicinal seeds from him. The third brother still did not take Hua Jindong's money. There were several kinds of these seeds that she asked Xia Yu to look for in Beijing but couldn't find them.

With these medicinal herbs, the elixir can be prepared. Hua Rendong will remember his kindness and provide him with more supplies in the future.

After collecting the herbs, he discussed a business deal with his third brother.

Too much rice was sold before, and most of the land in the Honeysuckle space was used to grow medicinal herbs. There was not much rice left, so I didn't plan to sell it this time.

There are a lot of pigs, sheep and chickens, and some eggs and duck eggs are coming out, but the quantity is definitely not as impressive as 30,000 kilograms of rice.

After agreeing to pick up the goods the next night, Hua Honeysuckle rode her bike back to Zhou County.
