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

The woman didn't expect Xu Shengnan to dare to talk back to her. How dare a street sweeper complain about her being dirty?

He stood up and was about to rush over and tear Xu Shengnan's mouth, when he heard Xu Shengnan say: "Sister, let me do all the work of buying coal and chopping firewood. I grew up in the countryside. I don't have anything but a lot of strength. When I fight, four or five men can't get close to me."

Hua Rendong saw from the corner of her eye that the woman who had just taken two steps forward had stepped back again. She suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, I'll leave all the heavy work at home to you. If you ever get wronged or need anything outside, come to my house to find me. If I'm not at home, go to the Women's Federation to find me. If I'm away on a business trip, go find Sister Hao. Do you know Sister Hao? Her husband is the second-in-command of our city. It'll be easier to talk to her about me."

After Hua Honeysuckle finished peeling off the tiger skin, he looked at the woman with a smile, and saw that the woman who had been sitting back on the bed and listening quietly straightened up. The arrogance and contempt in her eyes were gone, and she was full of disbelief and annoyance.

Hua Rendong said, "Comrade, my last name is Hua, and I work at the Women's Federation. My sister just came from the countryside, and she doesn't understand many things in the city. If she says something wrong or does something wrong, comrade, please give her some space."

The arrogant woman was frightened by Hua Rendong. She felt something was wrong with what she said, but when she saw her hand reaching out to her, she quickly reached out and shook hands with her. "My last name is Xie, and I'm a worker in the textile factory. We know each other. If you need me in the future, just let your sister tell me."

Hua Rendong smiled at her reservedly, then turned to Xu Shengnan and said, "The dormitory is ready. Come with me to get my things. I have to go back to work in the afternoon. Although our boss has a good relationship with me, we can't be too disrespectful to him."

Xu Shengnan agreed, took Hua Rendong's hand, and went out affectionately.

After walking out of the dormitory building, Xu Shengnan was still looking back. Although the dormitory was small and her roommates seemed difficult to get along with, she had a place to stay and she would never have to worry about being sold at any time in her life.

Hua Rendong took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought her toiletries such as thermos, soap, towels, and washbasin.

When Xu Shengnan picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste, she didn't know how to use them. Hua Rendong demonstrated to her with her fingers, and then Xu Shengnan knew how to use them.

Smelling the refreshing smell of toothpaste, Xu Shengnan sighed, "People in this city are so clean. I have always used a stick as a brush and dipped it in salt since I was a child. This toothpaste smells like candy. Do you spit it out after brushing?"

Hua Rendong was afraid that she would be reluctant to spit out the toothpaste, so she warned her, "Don't think about swallowing it after brushing your teeth. Toothpaste is fine for brushing your teeth, but it will make you sick if you eat it."

Xu Shengnan still looked regretful, but since Hua Rendong said she was going to get sick, she naturally believed Hua Rendong, "Yeah, I'll make a note of it."

Fearing that she would agree to it but be reluctant to leave later, Hua Rendong reminded her twice. Xu Shengnan patiently assured her that she would never eat the toothpaste after brushing her teeth, and only then did Hua Rendong feel relieved.

On the way back to the dormitory, passing by the scrap collection station, Xu Shengnan stared at a one-meter-high cabinet at the door in a daze. Hua Rendong asked, "Do you want it?"

Xu Shengnan felt embarrassed to let Hua Rendong spend money on her again, but she thought that everyone else in the dormitory had a bedside table except her bed.

She had no valuables now, but what about later? She couldn't carry everything with her, right? She nodded.

Hua Rendong pulled her to the collection station and asked the middle-aged woman who was sorting old newspapers, "Auntie, are you selling this cabinet?"

The woman took a look at the cabinet and saw that it was the broken cabinet she had just received for fifty cents, so she said, "Take it for one dollar!"

"Good Le!"

Hua Rendong agreed, took out a dollar from her pocket, thought for a moment and took out another twenty cents, "Auntie, can you sell me the pile of newspapers in your hand?"

The woman looked at the 1.2 yuan that Hua Jindong handed over, bent down, picked up the pile of newspapers, stuffed them directly into the cabinet, and took the money away.

Hua Rendong asked Xu Shengnan to wait here, and she ran back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lock.

When they returned to the dormitory building of the textile factory, Hua Rendong was walking in front with a bunch of things hanging on her body, and Xu Shengnan was following behind carrying a cabinet.

This time there was no one in the dormitory. Hua Rendong told Xu Shengnan to come to her if she encountered any problems and then left.

Seeing that it was just a little after ten o'clock, Hua Rendong went straight to the Women's Federation to find Hao Min.

Recently, the Women's Federation organized a rural work trip. When Hua Rendong arrived, Hao Min was in a meeting in the conference room. Seeing Hua Rendong coming over, she waved at her and said, "Erhua, come here."

Hua Honeysuckle responded crisply and ran to Hao Min's side.

Hao Min held Hua Rendong's hand and said to his subordinates, "A while ago, I sent Comrade Erhua to Xingfu Commune to carry out propaganda on preventing women and children from abduction and fraud and opposing domestic violence, and achieved considerable results. A few days ago, the girl in Xingzigou Brigade reported her father for gambling and selling her own daughter for the sake of justice. She mustered the courage after seeing Comrade Erhua's propaganda.

There are also women in Taohuawan Brigade who have the courage to break away from backward families, work hard to realize their self-worth, are not afraid of what others say, and dare to divorce.

These are all manifestations of the value of our work as women's federation members. We should learn from Comrade Erhua, go to the grassroots level, and help more women and children who need our help. "

After Hao Min finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously. There was also applause from below. The faces of the comrades were filled with the enthusiasm that was only seen in this era, which made Hua Rendong's heart burn with joy.

Although her original intention was just to have a legitimate identity to complete department tasks in Taohuawan Brigade, but after hearing what Hao Min said, she did a pretty good job.

Although it sounds like she's breaking up other people's families, she really helped people, didn't she?

Afterwards, Hao Min divided everyone into the grassroots groups they needed to go to and adjourned the meeting.

As soon as the meeting was adjourned, a group of people rushed over and surrounded Hua Jindong. "Erhua, do you have any more tea? Last time I brought back ten kilograms, my dad gave them away. I didn't even have any to drink, and my dad still thinks this is too little. Can you give me another twenty kilograms?"

"That's right. I took those back, but before I could drink them for two days, your brother-in-law took them all away. Your brother-in-law also asked me to ask you if you could get a batch for their company as well. The price is 80 kilograms. No matter how much, it's not too much."

"Don't rush to grab it, don't rush to grab it. I want some too. My grandfather's heart disease has improved since he drank that tea. Now he can go to the park to practice boxing every day. He also has many old comrades who want me to help get some tea. One hundred yuan a pound is fine."

"Hey, this is not fair of you. Why are you still driving up the prices? Erhua, I'll give you 120."

Hearing everyone clamoring for tea, Hua Rendong was very happy, but she definitely couldn't raise the price of the tea she had sold before. She could instead sell some better tea.

The tea leaves have been grown in the space for such a long time, and with the nourishment of her special powers from time to time, their quality is getting better day by day. Unless new tea trees are planted, it will be difficult to find tea leaves of the same quality as before.
