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

Chef Luo thanked him profusely and left. Xia Yu said to Hua Rendong, "Chef Luo is a good cook, a trustworthy person, and has some skills. In addition to being a chef, he can also be a security guard. You will live alone in your yard from now on. If you go on a mission, you will have your yard free. Why not let Chef Luo help you?"

"Ah? With my status, can my family still hire someone? Won't I be reported by others?" Hua Rendong was surprised. She had thought about hiring a few people to do things at home after the reform and opening up, but she never thought that she could hire someone now.

"Just say that you are a distant relative of yours who has no place to live in Beijing and is staying at your house temporarily. Your yard is issued by the department, so when the time comes, have someone say hello, and no one will dare to cause trouble for you."

"Okay, when I have chosen a courtyard, I will ask Chef Luo to come over." How could Hua Rendong disagree? Although she had only eaten two bites, and they were all simple dishes, she was already very optimistic about Chef Luo's cooking skills for being able to make simple dishes so delicious.

I was worried that Xixi would be in seclusion for ten days or half a month. As her cultivation level increases, the seclusion time will only be longer. She will live alone in the future and can't eat at state-owned restaurants every meal. It would be very convenient to have a chef at home.

What made her most satisfied was that Chef Luo was the chef in the department and must have some understanding of the department's particularities. She was not afraid of causing trouble when taking food out of the space.

After breakfast, Xia Yu took Hua Rendong to report and received the salary and bonus that had not been paid last month.

Because I had to go back to Beijing, this time my salary and bonus were not mailed to me, and all the various tickets were sent to Beijing or across the country.

Hua Rendong took a quick look and knew that this was specially prepared for her to settle down in Beijing. There were not only tickets for TV, electric fans, and washing machines, but even tickets for refrigerators.

The person who distributed the wages was a woman in her twenties who wore a pair of black-framed glasses. She couldn't hide the envy in her eyes as she watched Hua Jindong count the money one by one.

That's a full eight thousand yuan. She was also the one who remitted the wages for the first two months. It can be said that even the department director has never seen such a large bonus. I wonder what kind of extraordinary contribution Comrade Hua Erhua has made.

But no matter how curious she was, she didn't have the courage to ask. She had been in this department for several years, and she could clearly tell whether the leader who sat in the department all day had more influence or the leader who was on missions all year round had more influence.

To put it bluntly, this leader is just too lazy to care. If he really cares, the department can be moved to another place at any time with just one word, leaving the leader with an empty shell.

Now, the new comrade who can be brought here by the leader in person to report is obviously not simple. Maybe he is the leader's sweetheart. If she dares to ask more, she will make the new comrade unhappy. Once she spreads the word, she will lose her job that will make others envy her.

After receiving his salary and receipts, Xia Yu took Hua Rendong to the Housing Management Office and found a clerk in his thirties.

After showing his ID, he asked the clerk to find some courtyard houses that could be allocated to Hua Jindong. Because someone had already informed him, the clerk readily took out a booklet with thin house deeds and handed it over, "These are the courtyard houses under the jurisdiction of our community that can be allocated to Comrade Hua."

Hua Rendong took it and flipped through it. She saw that in addition to a thin property certificate, each page also gave a brief description of the house and courtyard. It looked pretty good.

However, these courtyards are not far from their department, and the nearest one is even next to the department, which obviously makes it convenient to find her when there is something.

Thinking of Xia Yu's words that there was no need to come to the department if there was nothing wrong, Hua Rendong said, "Is there anywhere else? These positions are too noisy."

The clerk looked embarrassed, "Upstairs..."

"Bring them all out so Comrade Erhua can choose!"

Xia Yu said this, and the clerk swallowed the next words. Although he didn't know which department these two comrades were from, but the superiors told them to choose whatever they wanted, so they were obviously not small people, and he couldn't afford to offend them. The leader who had asked him to recommend these courtyard houses to them before was not a big shot, anyway, it was these two people he couldn't offend. That person, it didn't matter if he couldn't give face.

He found another booklet from the drawer. This booklet was much newer and obviously not often read.

"These houses are currently occupied by tenants. If Comrade Erhua likes any of them, I can ask someone to coordinate with them."

Then he took out a thinner booklet and said, "These are courtyards without tenants. They are relatively small in size, but they are all well preserved. Comrade Erhua, please take a look."

Hua Honeysuckle took both booklets and sat on the sofa beside them to start reading.

The courtyard house in the thick booklet is indeed larger in area, but it was divided up many years ago and is now in a state of extreme dilapidation. Even if it were taken over, it would take some work to repair it.

The courtyard houses in the brochure were all left over from above. There were no messy renovations done by tenants, and they could be lived in after a simple tidying up.

But Hua Honeysuckle knew that in a few years, many of these courtyards would have to be returned to their original owners. Even if those people would be given corresponding compensation in the future, Hua Honeysuckle did not want to occupy other people's homes.

Hua Rendong pointed to several courtyards and asked Xia Yu, "Are the owners of these courtyards still here? Will there be trouble in the future?"

Xia Yu and the clerk came over to take a look, and saw that Hua Rendong was pointing at several courtyards that were not too far away, but were obviously much quieter.

Although the area is small, it has two courtyards and can accommodate more than a dozen people without any problem. If it is distributed, one courtyard can accommodate dozens of people.

The clerk took a look and pointed at a few of the courtyards and said, "Some of these households have overseas connections, but I heard that some of them have people behind the scenes working on them, so it's hard to say whether they will come back."

After that, he turned two pages and pointed them to Hua Rendong. "The original owners of these two courtyards fled the country before liberation, and the people who moved in later also took advantage of their positions to occupy the courtyards. They were successively sent down in the past two years, and the courtyards were vacant. If Comrade Hua wants such a small courtyard, you can take a look at these two."

Since the clerk said these two places were worth seeing, Hua Jindong immediately asked him to take her there to have a look.

Xia Yu drove the car with Hua Rendong and the clerk, and it took more than ten minutes to drive around the city before they reached their destination. Although it was a bit far from the department, the location was not remote at all, which made Hua Rendong very satisfied.

In later times, the courtyard houses in this location were so large that one could see the buildings in the imperial city from the roof. Even if the area was not that large, the price was still sky-high.

If I ever think of buying one again, it will be easy to get news since I live here. At worst, I can just buy it before the price of the courtyard house goes up like crazy.
