The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 120: Reputation for being lazy and gluttonous
"Okay, I'll stew the fish Xiaoya and Xiaoyue caught yesterday, and leave two for mom, and two cornmeal cakes."
Fang Yanhong was about to leave after she finished speaking, but she walked to the door and then stepped back and said to Hua Rendong, "Erhua, does your unit have any benefits? Like some fruits or other agricultural and sideline products? The previous team leader of our team listened to the commune and planted a lot of peaches. In the past two years, a lot of fruits have been produced, but they are too small. No one wants them, and they take up a lot of land. If we can't send them out this year, we will have to cut down those trees by the end of the year. Please help me find out. The peaches taste really good, but they don't grow big. We have been planting them for several years and have put a lot of effort into it. Your second uncle is reluctant to give them up."
Hua Rendeng thought that she was now in charge of purchasing for the Women's Federation, so sending some peaches was not a problem.
If the Women's Federation doesn't want it, she can send it to her third brother.
Even if the peaches on the mountain don't grow well, she can use her special powers to help speed them up. She doesn't need to send too much, just a little bit, and the peaches will have a qualitative leap.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "This is unfortunate. When I returned to the company yesterday, my boss gave me a purchasing job. I will go up the mountain to see why the peaches are not growing. If it is a technical problem, I just learned a little about fruit tree maintenance. I will see if I can improve it. If I can't improve it, at worst we can just sell this year's fruit at a lower price."
Fang Yanhong clapped her hands happily when she heard this. "That's great. You can take a look. If the situation can be improved, that would be great. If it can't be improved, just give some money. Let the team see some return money, and everyone in the team will feel better."
Hua Jindong agreed. When Grandma Zhou heard that Hua Jindong wanted to go up the mountain to look at the fruit trees, she didn't insist on staying here. "Grandma will go up the mountain with you. My legs and feet will not work if I stay at home all day."
Fang Yanhong got anxious when she heard this, "Mom, don't join in the fun. Even if your leg is healed, you can't go hiking."
Grandma Zhou pouted immediately, "Erhua, look at your second aunt, she controls me like this every day. Grandma is so old, she doesn't have any freedom at all."
Hua Rendong knew the condition of Grandma Zhou’s legs. Although they were not as good as when she was young, after being repaired with her special powers, they were definitely stronger than those of an ordinary old lady.
But she didn't want to stand on the old lady's side in this matter. This time she had used her supernatural powers to treat her. What if she didn't? If she helped the old lady at this time, she might become incompetent in the future. What if she encountered danger again?
Besides, Fang Yanhong is doing this for the old lady's own good. If you speak up for the old lady now, it will hurt Fang Yanhong's feelings. Will Fang Yanhong just give up and not do anything if anything happens in the future?
"Grandma, Second Aunt is doing this for your own good. I stand on Second Aunt's side this time."
Seeing this, the old lady also understood what Hua Rendong was thinking and sighed, "Well, grandma also knows that your second aunt is doing this for grandma's own good."
Fang Yanhong smiled at Hua Rendong after hearing this and said, "Then I'll send your grandma back first, and then come over to take you up the mountain."
Xia Yu, who had been standing at the door without saying anything, said at this moment: "Aunt, I know where the peach forest is. How about I take Comrade Hua there?"
Fang Yanhong recognized Xia Yu. It was this kid who cooked delicious food every day and even stopped Erhua from coming home for dinner. Although this kid looked good, his reputation of being lazy and gluttonous had spread a long time ago. Fang Yanhong was always unhappy when she saw him.
"You're taking Erhua up the mountain? How can I feel at ease? Erhua, come with me to send your grandma back, and let's have lunch. I'll bring a basket with me. The brains on the mountain are growing well, so dig some and bring them back to make pickles."
Hua Rendong could tell that Fang Yanhong had a lot of complaints about Xia Yu and was on guard against him. She had originally agreed to let him wait at the educated youth point, but this time she didn't even feel at ease to let him go back with her.
He suppressed his laughter and shrugged at Xia Yu, but responded, "Hey, I was just craving for the braised fish in soy sauce made by my second aunt. This time I'm in for a treat."
After saying this, he helped Grandma Zhou out of the educated youth center.
As soon as they left the house, Fang Yanhong said, "Erhua, young people nowadays are not as hardworking as our generation. They just want to eat, drink and have fun all day long. They rely on the money at home and don't actively participate in labor. You can't marry a man like this, no matter how good his family background is."
Fang Yanhong was born in the old society and grew up in an environment of ease and comfort. She received an education that taught her to be frugal, simple and hard-working.
Before getting married, she was a capable girl known throughout the area. After getting married, she was also known as a capable person, and she especially hated those who were sneaky and cunning.
These days, I have heard people in the brigade talk about the new educated youth, Xia, who does not work himself and spends the whole day using canned meat to lure educated youth Yue to work for him. They have long been dissatisfied with him.
I didn't find a chance to remind Hua Rendong before, but I happened to meet her today. I didn't care whether Xia Yu could hear me or not, and I taught Hua Rendong my own way of choosing men.
Although Grandma Zhou was born in the old days and had a hard life, she had seen some more unsophisticated people and things, and had a different view from her. After listening to her words, she patted her hands and said, "Yanhong, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I think that Xia Zhiqing is not ordinary. Not to mention his family, he is a man with great potential."
Fang Yanhong was just worried that Hua Rendong would be cheated by the pretty boy, so she was inspired to speak out. After hearing what Grandma Zhou said, she did not refute him. At most, she could talk to Erhua alone later.
The school had a busy farming season holiday since yesterday. Zhou Xiaoya and Zhou Xiaoyue went to the fields to help deliver water in the morning. When they came back, they saw their mother and cousin Erhua helping their grandmother back. They immediately ran over and said, "Second sister, second sister, we went fishing in the river yesterday and wanted to find you to go with us."
Hua Honeysuckle smiled and patted their heads, then casually took out two pieces of Luguo from his pocket and stuffed them into their pockets. "I went back to Zhou County yesterday. Call me next time you go fishing."
"It's a deal!" The two sisters took the fruits and put them in their pockets, nodding happily.
If Fang Yanhong didn't have to stay at home to take care of the children, she would have to go to work. It was because she saw Grandma Zhou had gone out and was worried about her legs that she asked her niece's wife Wang Xiuli to help look after her little daughter for a while, and she hurried out to find someone.
Seeing the two girls' hair messed up, he said angrily, "I asked you to deliver water, where have you been?"
Zhou Xiaoyue held the basket forward and said with a flattering smile, "After delivering the water, my sister and I followed the children in the village to dig brain pudding. Mom, the brain pudding egg box that Li Xiaowu brought the day before yesterday was so delicious. Let's make some at home sometime."
Seeing her slurping her saliva while talking, Fang Yanhong poked her forehead unhappily and said, "Li Xiaowu's father works in town and gets a share of fine grains. He is the only son in the family. How can our family compare with his? Even five kilograms of noodles are not enough for a meal."
Zhou Xiaoyue pouted, but she knew her mother was right. Her mother usually cooked at home, and she didn't want her to go through the trouble of preparing a meal only for the whole family to not appreciate it.
