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

Liu Changquan held Hua Jindong's hand and shook it. Why did Xia Yu feel so awkward watching him?

Seeing that Hua Rendong was overwhelmed by Liu Changquan's enthusiasm, she came over and pried Liu Changquan's hands apart, "Captain Liu, let's talk business first."

"Yes, that's right, Commander!" Liu Changquan nodded cheerfully, but his eyes were still on Hua Rendong's face. He didn't look at Xia Yu, who looked like he wanted to kill someone. "Don't leave, Sister Erhua. When we finish our work, Brother Liu will treat you to a meal."

"Yeah! I also need to ask Brother Liu to bring something for my brother."

Hua Rendeng also wanted to ask Hua Aiguo about his service in the army. He had never mentioned his injury in his previous letters home.

Hua Xiaohua and Hua Aidang, who had been playing glass balls with their new friends at the entrance of the alley, saw Brother Xia and Second Sister talking to the soldiers, and ran over too.

One of them held Hua Rendong's hand and introduced them to them, "Xiaohua, Ai Dang, this is Company Commander Liu, the leader of our big brother's army. You should call him Big Brother Liu."

Hua Aiguo wrote a letter a few months ago saying that he was already a platoon leader in the army. A company commander is taller than a platoon leader. Although it is not known whether Liu Changquan is the company commander of Hua Aiguo's company, the fact that he read letters from home to him when he was injured means that they definitely have a special relationship.

Hua Xiaohua and Hua Aidang called out obediently, "Hello, Brother Liu!"

Liu Changquan sighed, "I can't believe that Aiguo, a dark-skinned boy, has such fair and good-looking brothers and sisters at home."

In Hua Jindong's memory, Hua Aiguo is still the same as he was before he joined the army. He was a tall, fair-skinned and handsome young man. How come he became so dark-skinned after serving in the army for more than two years?

Imagine Hua Aiguo's dark appearance, and I can't help but find it funny. Should I find a chance to go to the army to see what black charcoal looks like?

Xia Yu didn't want to see Liu Changquan nagging Hua Rendong, so he pulled Liu Changquan away and said, "Comrade Erhua, you guys take a walk here first, I'll come find you later."

Hua Rendong nodded, "Leader, go and do your work, don't worry about us!"

Xia Yu almost dragged Liu Changquan away, and until the two of them got on the military vehicle, Liu Changquan turned around and shouted to the three of them, "Don't leave, wait until Brother Liu is done, I'll treat you to a meal!"

The three siblings waved at him, "Got it, we'll wait for Brother Liu."

After the military vehicle drove away, Hua Erhua asked in confusion, "Second sister, why does that soldier call Brother Xia Chief? Isn't Brother Xia an educated youth?"

Hua Rendong said, "Your brother Xia was sent by the capital to investigate the case. Don't tell anyone about this when you go back, especially to people outside."

Hua Xiaohua nodded hurriedly, and Hua Aidang's worried brows furrowed, "Second sister, tell me the truth, are you really going to work at the Women's Federation when you come to Beijing this time?"

I didn't expect the little guy to be so smart. It made the obedient Hua Xiaohua look a little stupid.

Hua Honeysuckle made a hushing gesture to them, "This is a secret. Second Sister's identity must also be kept secret."

Hua Ai Dang hesitated, but thinking of the little hero she saw in the movie, she nodded firmly, "Don't worry, second sister, I will never say a word when I go back, and I will also watch over third sister and not let her say anything."

Hua Xiaohua, who hadn't figured out why he had to keep it a secret, nodded when her brother nodded, "Yes, I won't tell you!"

The three siblings started strolling around Chengzhuang County. Thinking about what she had just told Liu Changquan that she wanted him to bring some things for Hua Aiguo, Hua Rendong bought a lot of food made by the locals at the market and packed them one by one in a net bag.

There happened to be a lot of food in the car that Zhou Laiying brought for her to Beijing, so she would pack some of that up later.

Xia Yu came back soon, and the next matter was handled by Liu Changquan and his men. It was not his business to ask what the relationship between the female educated youth named Liu Feng and these kidnappers was.

When Xia Yu took her to the jeep, Hua Rendong felt regretful holding two large bags of things, "Boss, Brother Liu said he wants to treat me to a meal, and I want him to bring some things to Brother Liu."

"This case will take a while. We don't have that much time to wait."

"Oh, forget it then."

Seeing Hua Rendong holding the net bag in her arms with a look of disappointment, Xia Yu turned the car around and stopped behind the military vehicle parked in front of the county commune. He honked the horn, and two soldiers ran out of the commune.

Xia Yu threw the things in Hua Rendong's arms to the two soldiers and said, "Comrade Hua Aiguo's younger brother and sister brought these to him. Please help pass them on."

The two soldiers immediately saluted: "We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Xia Yu returned a military salute to the two men, and the car drove out of Chengzhuang County.

The car was on the road, Xia Yu pointed to the road ahead, "Fifty kilometers ahead is the beach, we will stay there tonight, then I will take you to see the sea and eat seafood, and we can watch the sunrise tomorrow morning. If we are lucky, we can catch the low tide, so we can leave later tomorrow and take you to catch seafood."

The three siblings, who had just felt a little regretful for missing a meal, became energetic again when they heard that they could go fishing.

The brother and sister had rarely been out of the house since they were young. They had only heard of the sea from others but had never seen it. They didn't expect that they could see the sea this time and catch seafood themselves.

The car drove forward for more than 50 kilometers and stopped at around five in the afternoon. I could smell the faint scent of the sea in the air without getting out of the car.

They found a guesthouse to stay in and asked the waiter, who told them that the beach was just a mile or so away, so they couldn't wait to go out.

At this time, even in the hottest summer, there are no crowds of tourists on the beach. There are only boats and fishermen returning from fishing at sea.

There are already buyers from the canteen or supply and marketing cooperative waiting here. As soon as a ship docks, they rush over and quickly buy up all the seafood on the ship.

After issuing the receipt, the fishing team can use the receipt to settle accounts with those units.

From time to time, people would stroll along the beach, or children living by the sea would dive into the sea.

Seeing the fishing boats, Hua Rendong pulled her brothers and sisters over, but at that time, even the fish caught at sea belonged to the public and could not be bought and sold privately. After asking several boats, no one was willing to sell seafood to them. Hua Rendong was a little disappointed. She wanted to try how delicious seafood would be in an era without pollution.

Compared to later generations when many seafoods were protected and not allowed to be caught and sold, there were many more types of seafood that could be eaten at that time.

Seeing this, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Wait!" Then he ran towards a fishing boat that was about to come ashore.

As soon as the ship docked at the shore, without waiting for the people behind to rush over, Xia Yu shouted: "I was appointed by my superiors to carry out the procurement mission. I'll take care of this ship!"

Although the people behind him were somewhat reluctant, they could only shake their heads and run towards another fishing boat that was docked when they saw the red book he was holding high in the air.

Hua Rendong was stunned by his action. He actually wanted to book a whole ship of seafood? Even if the fishing boats at that time were not as large as those in later generations, did he know how much seafood a ship could carry?

But she likes it very much!
