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

Chapter 242: This is the first time I see her being so diligent

In the next few days, Hua Jindong ran back and forth between Zhou County and the city, delivering pigs and sheep to the canteen, and also delivered pigs to Third Brother a few times, and also delivered a large number of seafood, which was much better than what Third Brother had brought from the seaside.

Speaking of Hua Xiaohua, if that girl comes to the black market again in the future, let the third brother help take care of her. Anyway, she can't suffer any loss under the third brother's nose. The third brother naturally agreed to everything. In addition to paying Hua Rendong a higher price for the goods, he couldn't find a chance to please Hua Rendong.

Moreover, he also knew that although the price he offered was high, it was nothing compared to Hua Rendong's price in Beijing. Hua Rendong was giving him more goods when he came back, which was just a favor to him. Now that Hua Rendong asked him to help take care of Hua Xiaohua, it was an opportunity that came right to him, so how could he not do it?

On Sunday, a family of six drove back to Taohuawan Brigade.

Hua Rendong was driving, and Hua Jianshe was sitting in the passenger seat holding Hua Aidang. These days no one checked for overloading, and the trunk of the car was full. The trunk could not be closed, so it was just left open.

Zhou Laiying was afraid that the things would be thrown out, so he asked Hua Rendong to stop and check after driving for a while. Fortunately, the things were tied tightly inside, and they did not fall out when they drove to Taohuawan Brigade.

However, the road was not smooth these days, and after several snowfalls, the road surface was covered with snow. The walking area in the middle was trampled flat, and the snow on both sides was so deep that it was knee-deep. Driving on it was like driving a road, and the speed was not much faster than that of a person walking.

As soon as I entered the team, I heard someone shouting, "Erhua is back!" The voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout half the village.

People who heard the shouting ran out and saw that it was indeed the car Hua Rendong drove when she sent the Zhou family back last time. They started to greet from a distance, and the whole family hurriedly replied, not knowing who was responding.

When the car arrived at the brigade headquarters, Zhou Lai Fu was seen talking to Liu, the former accountant and now the brigade captain, at the door. Hua Rendong honked the horn, and Zhou Lai Fu and Captain Liu immediately ran over.

Seeing the Hua family members sitting in the car, Zhou Laifu said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you go back first. I will be back after I finish talking."

Zhou Laiying said, "Okay, hurry up, we brought a lot of good things, let Yanhong prepare a table later."

Zhou Laifu knew without Zhou Laiying saying anything that they would definitely bring good things back. If it were the Zhou Laifu of the past, he would definitely nag his sister and ask her why she brought those things back.

But Zhou Lai Fu has seen the world now, so he just kept the things he brought. Anyway, he had to visit his sister's house to pay New Year's greetings in the first month of the lunar year, so he brought back all the New Year gifts from Beijing.

Zhou Laiying said to Captain Liu: "Shenglin, come home for lunch!"

Captain Liu was about to refuse, but when he thought of what Zhou Laiying had just said about letting Fang Yanhong prepare a table, he was about to shake his head but nodded. Zhou Laifu glared at him and said, "What are you going to do? We are having a family dinner, why are you joining in the fun?"

Captain Liu was not ashamed and smiled, "It's been a while since I had dinner with Brother Jianshe. I wanted to ask him if it's feasible to set up a factory in the village."

Although he knew that he was just making an excuse to get a free meal, since it concerned the village, Zhou Lai Fu despised him and didn't say anything more. However, the corners of his mouth were curled up to his ears, which showed that he didn't believe what he said.

When the car drove back to Zhou's house, someone with quick legs came running over to report the news. Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou were already waiting at the door, wrapped up tightly. They even instructed the eldest son in the family to move away the corn stalks that were in the way.

Compared to the previous times when they came to Zhou's house, the first wife's side had all kinds of reluctant looks. This time, everyone from the first wife's side ran to the door to look. When they saw the car coming, Wang Xiuli shouted to the back: "Dad, Mom, Erhua and the others are here."

Upon hearing this name, Zhou Laiying clicked her tongue twice, "See, this is called being snobbish. We, the elders, are still here, but she only has eyes for Erhua. Erhua, stay away from them later, don't let them trick you."

Hua Rendong held the steering wheel, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face, "Don't worry, auntie, I'm not a three-year-old child."

As soon as the car stopped at the door, Zhang Yun ran over and diligently helped Hua Rendong open the door of the cab, "Oh, Erhua has become more beautiful again, but your aunt misses you so much."

Hua Rendong laughed, "What did my aunt say about life and death? I was so scared that I don't dare to come here anymore."

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "It's my aunt who can't talk. You can come when you need to. I'll make you something delicious."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Fang Yanhong, who was holding Zhou Xiaomei at the gate and looking at them happily, "Sister-in-law, Erhua and his family are coming. You have to cook a few more delicious dishes for lunch."

Fang Yanhong rolled her eyes. In the past, she had given in to Zhang Yun in the Zhou family. One reason was that they all lived under the same roof and didn't want things to get too awkward.

Secondly, because she didn't give birth to a son, when she died, her nephew would have to smash pots and beat banners for her, so she was not very confident.

Now that she has seen a lot of the world in Beijing, she has heard a lot that women hold up half the sky, and has seen a lot of women who are more capable than men. She no longer feels inferior because of not having a son.

What if I don't have a son and I smash pots and banners? I'm dead, so what if I can come back to life?

Hearing Zhang Yun's words, Fang Yanhong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is true. Now you are the master of this family. I am just Qie who came back to visit my relatives. How can I ask Qie to cook for me? It will depend on your ability later."

After saying that, Fang Yanhong pushed Zhou Xiaomei in her arms into Zhou Laiying's arms and said, "Xiaomei, check if your aunt has gained weight?"

Zhou Xiaomei hugged Zhou Laiying's neck and called out sweetly, "Auntie..."

It's just that the child couldn't speak clearly yet, and when she called him "Auntie", he sounded like a big pig. Especially after she had been in Beijing for so long, Zhou Xiaomei stayed in the child's education class during the day and took her back at night. She had grown up to be different from the children in the village. She was plump, fair, and had red lips and white teeth. She was so pretty that Zhou Laiying loved her very much.

"Oh, our Xiaomei is so heavy that even the big pig can't hold her. Come, let the big pig kiss her."

As he said this, he kissed Zhou Xiaomei on the face twice, making the little girl giggle and hide away.

Zhang Yun was just about to ask Wang Xiuli to bring her two grandchildren over to let her aunt have some fun, when she heard Grandma Zhou say, "It's so cold, don't stand outside, come in quickly."

Everyone rushed into the house, and soon the room where Grandma Zhou lived was filled.

When Grandma Zhou saw Zhang Yun pulling her two great-grandchildren towards Zhou Laiying, she called out, "Laicai's wife, come home and pour some water."

Zhang Yun was stunned and looked at Wang Xiuli, who immediately understood what he meant, "Grandma, I'll go and let mother talk to the eldest aunt."

After saying that, he ran out to get a bowl of water.

Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "This Xiu Li has been married for so many years, and this is the first time I see her being so diligent."
