The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 146 Being a Guest
After Grandma Zhou finished talking about the family affairs, she was afraid that Hua Rendong would feel burdened, so she brought up another matter, "Shoujia and his wife are divorced. His wife has been asking about you these days, saying that you promised to help her..."
Hua Rendong didn't forget about Bai Kangdi. When Xia Yu agreed to let her help Bai Kangdi, he had already asked someone to inquire about Bai Kangdi's past. As long as there were no problems over there, she could help Bai Kangdi settle down.
"Grandma, where does she live now? I'll go find her later."
Grandma Zhou said, "We're living in the brigade headquarters. We can't live with Shoujia anymore. Since the divorce, Zhou Shoujia has not been doing any work. He just sits on a big rock at the entrance of the village every day. No one washes his clothes. You can smell the odor from far away. No one in the village likes to go there anymore."
Thinking of Zhou Shoujia's dirty appearance in the past, Hua Rendong frowned. Without Bai Kangdi to look after him, it would probably not be long before the old Zhou Shoujia would return.
When she got home, Fang Yanhong was cooking in the kitchen. Zhou Xiaomei was sitting on a wooden cart next to her, babbling in incomprehensible baby language.
Zhou Xiaomei spoke one sentence and Fang Yanhong followed.
Wang Xiuli moved a bench and sat in the yard. There was a basin on the ground in front of her with two pieces of clothes in it. She was sitting with her back straight watching Gangdan and Tiedan playing with stones. When she heard footsteps, she quickly picked up the clothes and rubbed them twice.
Grandma Zhou pretended not to see it and turned to go into the outer room. "Yanhong, some people from Erhua's unit are coming to our house today. Please prepare two dishes."
"I understand, Mom. You go back to your room and sit down first." Fang Yanhong agreed and took out a piece of bacon from the jar in the corner.
Because it is the busy farming season, the meals at home are better than usual, but no matter how good they are, they are just dry sorghum rice for everyone to eat, and the dishes are just pickled vegetables. The best thing tonight is the wild vegetable and egg soup cooked with animal oil.
My mother-in-law asked me to cook two good dishes, and they must have meat and eggs.
Grandma Zhou came back to help Fang Yanhong cook, so how could she go back to the house? But she was not good at cooking, so she just helped out.
Grandma Zhou was helping out here, and Hua Rendong and Tiezhua were not allowed to enter the house, so the four of them were working and chatting in the outer room. When they looked up, they saw Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe lying on the window of the room looking out. When they saw Hua Rendong looking over, they immediately retracted their heads.
Hua Rendong pouted. She really thought Zhou Lanxiang was so sad. It turned out that the two sisters were just being lazy. Anyway, they would live their own lives in the future. She was just a distant relative, so there was no need to say anything.
After a while, Fang Yanhong made another plate of fried eggs with toon sprouts and a plate of fried bracken with bacon.
The aroma wafted out, and Gangdan and Tiedan came in, "Second Grandma, what delicious food have you made?"
Fang Yanhong didn't like Zhang Yun and her daughter-in-law, but she didn't have any opinion about the two children. She took them to wash their dirty hands, then she picked up a piece of meat for each of them, blew it cool and put it in their hands, "Eat slowly, you have to wait until the table is served before you can eat."
Gangdan and Tiedan happily ran out with the meat, sat on the doorstep and started eating it in small bites.
Wang Xiuli looked over here several times and called her two sons over, but neither of them paid any attention to her. Wang Xiuli quickly wrung the clothes in the basin and hung them up to dry before walking towards her two sons.
As soon as Gangdan and Tiedan saw their mother coming, they stuffed the meat into their mouths, making Wang Xiuli so angry that her face turned blue.
Thinking about how she wanted her to dissolve the rock sugar in water and give it to Tiedan, but she stuffed it into her own mouth, Hua Rendong shook her head speechlessly.
Zhang Yun, who had just returned from work, smelled the delicious food as soon as he entered the yard and shouted loudly, "What day is today? Why is there meat to eat?"
But when he saw Hua Jindong standing in the yard as soon as he entered, his face immediately drooped, "Erhua is here? I was wondering why the family is cooking meat."
Hua Rendong pretended not to notice her attitude towards him, and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt is back? I have prepared the water, hurry up and wipe it."
Zhang Yun hummed coldly, turned around and went into the house to get out a torn towel.
Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe also came out of the house at this time, and they kneaded Zhang Yun's shoulders and back, asking about his health, which made Zhang Yun relax his brows and eyes, "You two lazy girls, bring back more matchboxes tomorrow. Your mother doesn't take care of the family and has no ability to save up dowries for you, so you have to save up your dowries by yourselves."
Grandma Zhou immediately smiled and said, "Oh, I don't have to prepare the dowry? That's great. I can save money."
Zhang Yun originally intended to say sour words to her mother-in-law in front of Hua Rendong, thinking that her mother-in-law didn't want to make things difficult for Hua Rendong and would definitely swallow her anger. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law directly cleared herself off from the dowry issue, which made her feel guilty. If her mother-in-law really didn't care, which good family would be willing to marry these two girls in the future?
But when he thought about how his mother-in-law forced him to divide the family property a few days ago, and how it was Zhou Laicai who cried and begged his mother-in-law that finally made his mother-in-law decide to observe for a while, he didn't even have the courage to argue with her.
Zhou Laicai was very happy to see Hua Rendong, and didn't hear the fight between his mother and his wife at all. "Erhua, isn't it your uncle who is saying something to you? Now that you have moved to our brigade, why are you still alienated from your family? Come to our house for dinner more often when you are not busy. Your grandma is happy to see you. Since you came to our brigade, your grandma's health has been better than before."
"Okay, I'll come over for dinner when I'm not busy." Hua Honeysuckle responded with a smile, but thought in her heart: Grandma is in good health, that's thanks to the supernatural powers she gave her, what does it have to do with her mood?
However, I will have to use my supernatural powers to comb Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou's bodies later.
Zhou Xiaoya and Zhou Xiaoyue ran to Hua Rendong and kept asking her about raising pigs, sheep and cattle in the future.
Zhou Lai Fu went to the commune in the afternoon, and on his way back picked up Zhou Xiaoya and Zhou Xiaoyue from school. On the way, he told the two girls that the brigade would raise a lot of pigs, sheep and cows in the future. After returning to the brigade, the two girls went to the fields to cut grass for the pigs and earn work points.
When I saw Hua Honeysuckle at this time, I wanted to know from her whether it was true.
After getting Hua Jindong's assurance, Zhou Xiaoya said, "Then we will go to cut grass for the pigs every day after school."
The brigade gave them one work point for cutting a basket of pig grass. As long as they worked hard, it was not a problem for them to earn three work points after school every day. This also saved them from having their aunt and two cousins always complaining about them not earning work points but having to spend the family's money to go to school.
Fortunately, they had been dealt with by Grandma Zhou, and there was another person from the city in the house, so Zhang Yun's mother and her friends didn't dare to make trouble except for a few sarcastic remarks, and they finished their meal smoothly.
Originally, Hua Jindong wanted to take Tiezhua back to the city to live, but it was getting late after dinner, so the two decided to stay overnight at the educated youth camp.
As soon as he went out, he saw a woman wandering outside the door. Honeysuckle asked, "Who's there?"
