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

The last time Hua Rendong took Hua Xiaohua and Hua Aidang to Beijing City for fun, it was Xia Yu who drove. Although the two were not in a relationship at that time, the Hua family had seen Xia Yu and knew him, but they did not expect him to come to their home during the Chinese New Year, but they all showed great enthusiasm.

Putting aside the fact that he is now Hua Rendong's boyfriend, he is also a big leader from Beijing. Being able to become a leader at such a young age, what will happen in the future? What's rare is that he is so good to their Erhua, and their family will definitely warmly welcome this son-in-law.

So, all the Hua family members ran down from upstairs to greet them, and Hua Aiguo, who came back to visit his relatives, also came down with them.

Although Hua Aiguo did not know Xia Yu, Liu Changquan had met Xia Yu and secretly told him that he suspected Hua Rendong and Xia Yu were a couple. He kept praising Hua Rendong for finding a big leader, which left Hua Aiguo with the impression that Hua Rendong's partner was a big leader.

Seeing Xia Yu at this moment, he subconsciously saluted him, "Hello, leader!"

Xia Yu was stunned by him and subconsciously returned the greeting, "Hello, patriotic comrade!"

One of the neighbors who ran down to watch the fun asked, "Is this a patriotic leader? Isn't he the partner of Erhua?"

Zhou Laiying said proudly: "He is our Erhua's boyfriend, and also the leader of our Aiguo and Erhua. He is a high-ranking official."

The neighbors originally just wanted to see the prospective son-in-law, tease the young man a little, and see the embarrassment of Hua Erhua, who always smiled at everyone but seemed a little unfathomable.

After knowing that her boyfriend was an official higher than the company commander, they suddenly became reserved and felt jealous: He is so young, how high can his official position be?

But he is only one level higher than the company commander, and he is a unique high-ranking official in this tube-shaped building.

They were afraid of Hua Aiguo, who had become the company commander, not to mention the person who even called Hua Aiguo his leader. How could they dare to tease him?

A neighbor who was good at reading people's expressions rushed over to help carry the things. "Erhua's boyfriend, you must be tired from driving here. Come, let me help you carry the bag up."

"Yes, yes, give me this box. I work as a porter in the factory, so I'm good at moving things."

In just a few words, Xia Yu's car was emptied. Although he didn't dare to steal, he felt the bags to see what was inside. The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and the more he felt sad.

After moving everything and closing the Hua family's door, these people did not rush home to cook, but gathered downstairs to talk.

"Da Liu, when you were helping to move things, did you feel what was inside?"

The young man who was called Da Liu blushed with excitement, "How come I didn't touch it? I saw it, those two boxes are all filled with Maotai liquor, unopened, which is hard to buy even if we want to."

"What's that? Do you know what the box I carried up there is?"

"What? Can it be more rare than Moutai?"

The man smiled mysteriously, and in the expectant eyes of the crowd, his voice became excited and louder: "Money! It's a full box full of money, ten yuan a piece, I think there must be at least twenty bundles."

The onlookers became even more agitated. At this time, they assumed that a bundle of tickets was worth 100 yuan, a bundle of 10 yuan was worth 1,000 yuan, and 20 bundles was worth 20,000 yuan, right?

So much money is packed in a box. Look, there is a beautiful ribbon tied on the box. It is obviously a betrothal gift.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed that most of the things in that car were tied with ribbons. Could it be that they were all gifts for Hua Erhua? This leader was really generous.

You have to know that these days, a betrothal gift of even 2,000 yuan is rarely heard of, let alone 20,000 yuan. That leader is a high-ranking official, handsome, and he likes Hua Erhua so much... Could it be that he has some unspeakable problem?

When someone accidentally spoke out his true feelings, the neighbors downstairs fell into deep thought. Yes, Hua Erhua is a high school student who grew up in Zhou County. He has no parents since childhood, and he is just too pretty. How come he is so lucky to find a partner who is so excellent in all aspects?

If the partner has to give so much gift, they will think it is the most reasonable explanation if they say that the partner has some problem.

Upstairs, Xia Yu told the Hua family about his visit to Zhou County for the New Year and his intention to formally propose marriage to their uncle and aunt. He also displayed the gifts he brought to the Hua family one by one. Hua Jianshe and Zhou Laiying were shocked at first, then surprised, and then fell into deep thought. For a long time, they did not say whether they agreed to the marriage or not.

Finally, Zhou Laiying smiled and said to Xia Yu, "Erhua's boyfriend, you drink some tea first. Her uncle and I need to discuss this matter again."

After saying that, he pulled Hua Jianshe, who was still in a daze, back into the house.

Xia Yu was confused: Didn't Erhua tell his family about his relationship? Or was the Hua family dissatisfied with him?

He looked at Hua Rendong blankly. Hua Rendong, who was listening to the people downstairs speculating about what was wrong with Xia Yu, spread her hands helplessly at him.

Although I don't know what my aunt and uncle are going to say, they must have the same idea as those people below. Xia Yu really gave too much, making it hard not to be suspicious.

If this had happened in Beijing, where Grandma Zhou and others had seen how fast she made money and knew Xia Yu's true identity, they would have agreed happily.

But who can blame the Hua family for not having seen it? In the impression of Zhou Laiying and Hua Jianshe, those who can earn 200 yuan a month are all great leaders. Comrade Xia is still so young, and at most he can only earn 200 yuan a month.

Twenty thousand yuan. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, he probably can't save that much since he started working, unless it's given by his family.

But would the in-laws be willing to spend 20,000 yuan to marry their daughter-in-law? Anyway, they don't have that ability, and even if they do, they won't be willing to give that much.

Zhou Laiying opened the door and called in Hua Aidang who had been to Beijing. She didn't call Hua Xiaohua because she felt that she was not as reliable as her brother.

After piecing together a vague impression from the few words Hua Aidang said, they had to call Hua Aiguo over as well.

Comrade Hua Aiguo did not dare to reveal too much due to discipline, but he expressed with certainty that Comrade Xia Yu was extraordinary, and even hinted that his cousin was equally extraordinary, saying that 20,000 yuan for the betrothal gift might really be nothing to them.

After all, he had heard that capable people like Xia Yu and his friends gave out tasks that ordinary people could not complete, and the bonuses were not low either. However, he could not reveal this to his parents.

Hua Aiguo's words finally dispelled the couple's doubts. Since the money came from legitimate sources and there was nothing wrong with Erhua's partner, how could they not agree to such a good guy?

When she came out of the house again, the smile on Zhou Laiying's face became more sincere.

"Xiao Xia, you and Erhua are in love freely. The fact that you came to tell us shows that you are a good and sensible child. Although Erhua is not my daughter, I have treated her like my own child over the years. Since you both like each other, we, as elders, will not put on airs and make things difficult for you by putting forward various conditions.

In our place now, we pay attention to three turns and one ring when getting married, but you are all in Beijing. Even if you buy it, it will not be convenient to transport it to Beijing, so we will not require these.

As for the 20,000 yuan betrothal gift you gave us, we will keep it, and then add it to the dowry we have prepared for Erhua over the years, and bring it back to Erhua when you get married."
