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

The two of them worked together, and soon the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou strolled over from the back to help, and were stunned when they saw Xia Yu busy in the kitchen.

Grandpa Zhou said in a loud voice, "Aren't you that educated youth? Why did you follow Erhua to Beijing?"

Xia Yu naturally recognized Grandpa Zhou, and said attentively: "Grandma, Grandpa, my home is in Jing City, not far from here."

Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou looked at each other and suddenly wondered what was going on with their Erhua coming to Beijing with the educated youth?

Especially the calls of grandma and grandpa sounded so natural, as if they had been called countless times.

Grandma Zhou was sitting aside picking vegetables, but her ears were perked up. Grandpa Zhou followed Xia Yu and asked about the number of people in his family, such as how many years of education he had received, where he worked, and even three generations of his ancestors, more thoroughly than checking the household registration.

After learning that Xia Yu was now Hua Rendong's direct supervisor, Grandpa Zhou was silent for a while before he asked, "Are you and our Erhua dating?"

Xia Yu's face turned red all of a sudden. He glanced at Chef Luo who was gossiping beside him and whispered, "I do have that idea, but I'm afraid Erhua won't be happy."

Grandpa Zhou slapped him on the back angrily. The old man, who had done farm work all his life, was surprisingly strong and almost slapped Xia Yu into the pot. "Are you stupid? You became a leader at such a young age, and I thought you were smart, but you don't look that smart."

Xia Yu was so confused after being scolded that Grandma Zhou also said, "If you don't ask, how do you know if she is happy or not?"

"That's right. Erhua has come to Jing City with you. You haven't even asked her for such a long time? Are you an idiot?"

Xia Yu had originally thought of confessing his feelings to Hua Rendong after the case over there was completely concluded. After listening to the two old people's words, he suddenly felt more confident.

Just like Grandpa Zhou said, Erhua came to Beijing with him, doesn’t that mean she has feelings for him too?

As he was talking, Hua Jindong came over from the backyard, holding two large durians in his hands. Seeing that everyone was there, he didn't think much and put the durian on the table. "I'll take out the meat, and you guys can fry some durian pie?"

Grandpa Zhou reached out to touch it and got pricked. Fortunately, he had thick skin and was not injured. He sniffed and said, "Erhua, what are you holding? Why does it smell so bad?"

Hua Honeysuckle peeled the durian and said, "Grandpa, this is what it tastes like. It smells bad, but tastes delicious."

Grandpa Zhou looked disgusted and asked, "How can we eat something so smelly?"

In order to demonstrate to Grandpa Zhou, Hua Honeysuckle handed a piece of freshly peeled durian flesh directly to Xia Yu's mouth, and Xia Yu naturally bit it into his mouth.

This boundless action made Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou look at each other. It seemed that good things were about to happen.

Anyway, when they first got married, they didn't feel comfortable feeding each other in front of others.

After Xia Yu ate the durian, he said, "Grandma, Grandpa, it's delicious. You guys should try it too."

The old couple waved their hands and said, "No, no, just eat."

Seeing them hurriedly running outside with a bag of beans, Hua Rendong looked at Xia Yu in confusion, "What's wrong with them? It's like a wolf is chasing them."

Xia Yu glanced at the snickering Chef Luo and shook his head seriously, "No way!"

Hua Rendeng didn't believe it. She looked at Chef Luo and then at Xia Yu, and always felt that there was something fishy going on.

After peeling the durian flesh, he found a spoon and mashed it into a paste bit by bit. Chef Luo had never seen durian before, so he came over and tried a little. He found it surprisingly delicious. In addition to the durian pie, he also made a few durian mille-feuilles. After he was done, he still lamented that he didn't have an oven, otherwise it would have tasted even better if it was made into a baked cake.

Hua Jindong was thinking about whether he could build a grill in the yard. Or he could expand the kitchen and arrange all the facilities that could be used for Chef Luo. However, the yard was so small that it would seem crowded if he built a grill.

There were six tables set up in the evening. In addition to the Zhou family, everyone in the department was there, even Jasmine's grandfather and Mr. Xu, the gatekeeper, were invited.

Since one room couldn't accommodate the space, we used two rooms to set it up. Fortunately, the original owner had all the tables, chairs, bowls and plates at home, so we could put a few more tables there.

Even though everyone is used to Chef Luo's cooking, the combination of good cooking skills and good ingredients made this meal amazed everyone, and they wished they could have three meals a day here in the future.

During the dinner, they talked about how after the mission was completed, Huang Qiang and his gang would be arrested or dismissed. Now the department's yard has been returned. Would everyone want to go back to work there in the future?

Xia Yu didn't care. As the deputy minister, he was forced to do something he was not willing to do. He was too lazy to go there when there was no mission. The same went for other colleagues in the department. Whether there was a yard or not, they would take on the mission anyway.

But Hua Rendong didn't want to give such a big yard to others, and slammed the table, "It's our department's place, why don't you go back? In the future, when we recruit people into the department, we should open our eyes and reduce the annoying people. It's better to treat it as our dining place than to give it to others!"

After hearing what Hua Rendong said, everyone's eyes lit up. "Yes, from now on, we can let Erhua prepare whatever we want to eat, and we'll pay for the meal. Chef Luo has been cooking for us for so many years, he knows what everyone likes to eat, isn't it better than eating out?"

"Yes, I think our Erhua's yard is a little small. Not to mention holding a banquet, it's not very convenient to use it as a warehouse. Why don't we move the warehouse to our department? Then we won't be afraid of someone who dares to report it. With the department's support, those who want to lower the price won't have the courage to do so."

"Yes, the warehouse is placed in the department, so we are not afraid of someone daring to steal. Otherwise, if Erhua is not at home one day, someone will want to climb over the wall and steal things. Only Uncle Zhou, the elderly and the children are there, and we are really afraid of something happening."

Hua Rendong was very excited after hearing this. If the warehouse was really moved to the department, it would really save a lot of trouble.

Finally, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to move the warehouse to the two warehouses in front of the department.

It is located next to Mr. Xu's guard room in the front yard, so there is no need to worry about disturbing the tranquility of the backyard. With Mr. Xu watching over it, there is no need to worry about people with bad intentions sneaking in.

After the matter was settled, everyone started toasting each other again. Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou from the next room heard the noise and were amazed at how much young people could drink. They had such a high alcohol tolerance, but they couldn't keep up after drinking only half of the drink.

Fortunately, few people drink until midnight at this time, and everyone dispersed after eating at around seven o'clock. A few people went straight back to the department to tidy up the warehouse to make it convenient for Hua Honeysuckle to come and deliver the goods tomorrow.

Although the colleagues in the department said they would pay for Hua Rendong's meals, how could they afford it? Xia Yu directly asked them to use the public account. Anyway, the meals in the department cafeteria were free before. It couldn't be that because Hua Rendong provided food for the department, this benefit would be gone, right?
