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

The next day, after taking a day off, Chen Yue got up early and heated the kang in the new house. He then went to a craftsman in the village and bought a table, a bench, and a mat.

It is a bit rough, but it is strong and durable.

I originally wanted to borrow a bicycle from Hua Rendong, but Hua Rendong had ridden a bicycle back to the city before, and when she came back she rode a donkey backwards, so it was really difficult to take the bicycle out.

Since there was nothing to do anyway, Hua Rendong went to Zhou Lai Fu's place, pushed the donkey and took Chen Yue back to the city.

I accompanied her to buy everything she needed, lent her a few industrial tickets, and went to the scrap collection station to buy a lot of old newspapers for pasting walls and kangs. Hua Rendong also flipped through a lot of junior high and high school textbooks, planning to give them to Hua Xiaohua next time she goes back.

However, there are too few test papers in this era and they are of little use, so Hua Rendong decided to ask Xu Xixi to get some and send them over.

I didn't go back with Chen Yue in the afternoon. I just asked her to deliver the things back to the educated youth site and then return the car to Zhou Lai Fu.

After taking a nap at home, Hua Rendong woke up at around eight o'clock and went straight to the Municipal Bureau.

When she came back last time, she had already met some people from the Municipal Bureau. When they heard that she was here to see Director Fang, a young man took her directly to Director Fang's office.

After everyone left, Hua Rendong explained her purpose. Director Fang went out for a while and came back to chat with Hua Rendong for a few words. The male comrade who had just brought Hua Rendong here came back with a stack of blank letters of introduction and purchase orders with seals of different units.

When Hua Jindong took a look, he found that not only were the photos from this province, but there were also many from other provinces, some of which were from the tea-growing areas that Hua Jindong needed.

Before leaving, she left a pack of tea on Director Fang's desk. Director Fang did not refuse and smiled as he asked her and Xia Yu to come over often in the future.

Hua Rendong thought he had misunderstood something, but seeing that he was buried in the documents again, she was too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

With these letters of introduction and purchase orders, which also had authentic official seals, Hua Rendong went home to fill one out, loaded the goods, got on a new donkey, and headed for the Women's Federation.

Except for the ten kilograms of tea as welfare that was packed in small boxes, she packed the rest of the tea according to the amounts those people had requested before and put them into transparent plastic bags.

Although plastic products at that time were not as common as in later generations, they could still be seen frequently. They were not too rare and would not arouse suspicion from others.

Except for the ten kilograms of tea in the small box, she covered the rest of the tea with tarpaulin. After all, it was a private transaction, so she couldn't just take it out so carelessly.

When we arrived at the Women's Federation, we had just finished lunch. We saw Hua Rendong pushing a bicycle towards us. There was a large basket hanging on the back seat and two smaller baskets hanging in the front. Everyone gathered around enthusiastically and helped Hua Rendong carry the baskets into her office.

They talked and laughed all the way, and were as enthusiastic as meeting family.

Without Hua Honeysuckle saying anything, everyone brought the woven baskets to her office and looked at her eagerly.

Hua Rendong divided the tea that he had promised to everyone according to the weight. Some wanted ten kilograms, some wanted five kilograms, and some wanted twenty kilograms. In a blink of an eye, nearly a hundred kilograms of tea had been distributed, and he earned more than seven thousand yuan.

There were also a few who regretted buying too little and wanted Hua Honeysuckle to help get some more. Hua Honeysuckle pretended to hesitate for a moment and just said to try again.

There were also two small baskets filled with company benefits packed in small boxes. Although the quantity was small and the price was cheap, it was still troublesome. Hua Rendong put the prepared letter of introduction and purchase order in them, and when it was time to go to work, she knocked on Hao Min's office with two baskets of boxed tea.

Hao Min was talking on the phone with someone, laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

Seeing Hua Rendong come in, he gestured to her to sit down, then smiled into the phone and said, "Sister-in-law, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't been thinking about us all the time, how could we have seized this opportunity when we are so far away in Xinshi? We will never forget how good you have been to us. I will get some local specialties and send them back later. Don't despise me, sister-in-law."

No one knew what was said over there, but Hao Min started to chuckle again. "Oh, how could that be possible? There's an old saying that says an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. We two are treating our elder sister-in-law like our own mother. Who dares to say anything? It's settled. Our elder sister-in-law doesn't want it because she thinks the things we sent back are not good enough..."

After Hao Min finished her round of flattery and hung up the phone, a smile was still on her face, obviously something good had happened to her.

"Xiaohua, did you get some tea?"

Hua Rendong moved two baskets of boxed tea to Hao Min's desk. "Sister Hao, this is the welfare that the unit wants. I packed it according to the number of people in our unit."

Hao Min picked up the purchase order, which was a supplementary page. The traces of carbon paper were not very obvious, but it was clear if you looked closely. The price of ten kilograms of tea was indeed 10 yuan per kilogram as Hua Jindong had said before.

Hao Min picked up the carbon paper and a piece of white paper on her desk, covered them with it, adjusted the angle, and the number '10' became '50'.

After Hao Min finished, he looked at it again and again, feeling very satisfied. Without saying anything, he handed it back to Hua Rendong and said, "Come on, follow me to the finance department to get the money."

Hua Rendong knew that she was thanking her for her previous promise to give her 50 kilograms of tea for free. If she really purchased this tea from outside, she could make an extra 400 yuan from these 10 kilograms of tea.

If I send you tea in the future, the price will not be lower than this. Anyway, I know that the product is good and worth the money, so I won’t be polite.

After going to the finance department to collect 500 yuan, Hua Rendong was no longer responsible for the distribution of the tea.

Hua Rendong said: "Sister Hao, I'll go to your house to find you after get off work tonight."

Hao Min knew that she was going to send her tea, so she readily agreed, "Okay, I'll get off work early tonight and ask Xiao Zhao to make you sweet and sour pork ribs."

Hua Honeysuckle thanked him repeatedly and was about to leave with the money.

The entire Women's Federation was filled with the elegant fragrance of tea. It was obvious that the comrades could not help but make some new tea.

I met several colleagues, and they all asked for Hua Jindong's contact information so that they could find her when they needed tea in the future.

At that time, there were no mobile phones or telephones, and she didn't know when or where she would go to complete the mission. So she promised her comrades that she would come back to the Women's Federation at least once a week, and only then did the comrades let her leave.

When Hua Rendong walked out of the Women's Federation gate, she saw a familiar country girl walking towards her. Before she could recognize her, the girl stopped a staff member and asked, "Sister, I want to ask, if your father gambles and loses your daughter and wife to someone else, will our Women's Federation do anything about it?"

These familiar people and things made Hua Rendong suddenly remember who this girl was, the girl called the money-loser from the Xingzigou Brigade.

But today, her clothes were washed and her hair was combed. She was no longer as dirty and messy as when I saw her that day, and she looked more beautiful.
