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

Xia Yu also loved chewing pig's trotters in the past, but those were stewed by the chef in a state-owned restaurant. They were soft and rotten, and could be swallowed effortlessly. This was the first time he had chewed such a big pig's trotter that required both hands to chew, and it was quite tiring for his cheeks.

But seeing that the Hua family was chewing very hard, he also started to chew hard.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, Hua Jianshe enjoyed the taste of Moutai. He ate half of a pig's trotter and said with a pout, "It's a bit of a waste to just gnaw on such good trotters." His eyes were still glancing towards the wine box.

Zhou Laiying said unhappily, "Drink if you want to, no one is stopping you. There's only so much of it anyway, and no one will buy you more after you finish it."

Xia Yu quickly replied, "I'll buy it. I'll pay for uncle's wine. When you finish drinking, I'll buy more for him."

Hua Jianshe was so happy to hear that, but he still said, "No, no, these two boxes are enough, don't buy more. No matter how much you earn, you can't spend it all on wine. How can you live?"

Xia Yu did not explain that he did not have much money to spend on wine, and he could not use up the wine tickets given to him every month, not to mention that Hua Rendong also had so many tickets that were left unused and were eventually taken away by people in the department.

They bought it back, so how could Hua Jianshe throw it away? Anyway, Erhua had the elixir, so he wasn't afraid of drinking too much and hurting his body.

As a result, Hua Jianshe took out two more bottles of wine and pulled Hua Aiguo and Xia Yu to start drinking. They did not stop until the three of them were dizzy and Zhou Laiying snatched the wine bottles and wine cups away.

After dinner, it was already late. Few people could stay up until midnight, so everyone packed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The house that the Hua family was allocated this time had three rooms, just enough for the couple, one for the girls, and Xia Yu shared a room with Hua Aiguo and Hua Aidang.

Hua Ai Dang, who originally slept in a room of her own, suddenly had to share a room with her eldest brother and future brother-in-law, and she was a little excited.

Children at this time all worship heroes. His eldest brother is the company commander, and his future brother-in-law is a more powerful person than his eldest brother. They get excited just thinking about asking them to tell them about their heroic deeds.

But who knew that Hua Aiguo and Xia Yu had drunk quite a bit, and fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed, snoring loudly, which annoyed Hua Ai's ears so much that they were ringing.

In other words, children sleep a lot, so Hua Ai Dang covered his ears and fell asleep after complaining for a while.

When I woke up the next day, my elder brother and future brother-in-law were no longer around. I could hear children laughing and adults cheering downstairs.

Hua Ai Dang leaned over the window and looked down, and saw his brother and his future brother-in-law practicing together downstairs, and every move was really like the real thing. There were quite a few people around, and they were all so excited.

Next to the pillow was a new cotton-padded jacket he had made this year. The outer coat was the one Hua Rendong brought back from Beijing. It was in the style of a small Zhongshan suit with two pockets on the chest. He looked at himself in the mirror hanging on the wall in the living room again and again, and was fascinated by it.

Before Hua Ai Dang came downstairs, Zhou Laiying shouted from upstairs: "Stop practicing, come back to eat."

Hua Aiguo, who was practicing downstairs with smoke coming out of his body, stopped his moves. Then he looked at Xia Yu who was practicing with him. Wow, he didn't even break a sweat.

Hua Aiguo gave Xia Yujian a thumbs up and said, "How else could you become a leader at such a young age? I am really impressed."

Even though the two seemed to be fighting evenly matched, Hua Aiguo knew in his heart that Xia Yu was just going easy on him. If Xia Yu really fought with him, he would have been pinned to the ground without even having to use all his strength.

The more this happened, the more satisfied he was with his future brother-in-law, and he was happy for Hua Rendong to marry such an excellent man.

It was not until this moment that he truly acknowledged this brother-in-law.

The people downstairs were still not satisfied with the show and kept clamoring for them to come down and practice after they finished eating. Even some former militiamen and people from the factory's security department wanted to practice too.

The news that Hua Erhua's boyfriend, a senior leader in Beijing, was coming to celebrate the New Year with her family quickly spread throughout Zhou County, and the news of the 20,000 yuan betrothal gift also spread.

On the first day of the new year, people came to the house to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and the factory director came. They said they came to pay New Year's greetings to Hua Jianshe, but they were talking to Xia Yu and Hua Rendong. The two were very polite and did not show any impatience. It can be said that both the host and the guest were happy.

Every person who came to pay New Year's greetings left with a wink at Hua Jianshe and Zhou Laiying, saying, "You have an incredible nephew-in-law. Just wait and enjoy the good life in the future."

Zhou Laiying raised her chin high and said, "That's because our niece is so good. She can bring us happiness without relying on men."

This made some people even more jealous, especially the neighbors. When the Hua family first moved in, they were not much better than theirs. How long has it been? Their sons and nieces have become successful. It won't be long before they will leave everyone far behind.

On the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Xia Yu returned to the city and drove the car that Hua Rendong borrowed from his third brother. There were two cars parked downstairs, one was driven back by Hua's niece, and the other was driven back by Hua's niece's boyfriend. Thinking about his own children and son-in-law, who have lived to such an old age but have never let them ride in a car, it is really true that comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.

It is the New Year, but the atmosphere in almost every household is weird, especially when people see their own children who only know how to eat and drink.

Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the family got in two cars and accompanied Zhou Laiying back to her parents' home, carrying a lot of luggage.

Many of the people in Taohuawan Brigade who had married daughters were waiting at the entrance of the village. Some of them came simply to see how much stuff Zhou Laiying would bring back to her parents' home this year, and after welcoming their daughters, they still stayed at the entrance of the village.

When I saw two cars driving towards me one after the other, I knew without asking that it was Zhou's daughter and her family returning.

It’s just that Hua Rendong drove back one car before, so why did it become two this time?

When the car got closer and saw Xia Yu in the driver's seat, someone exclaimed, "Xia Zhiqing? Why are you back?"

When I saw the Hua family members sitting in the car, what else was there to not understand? I had long suspected that Xia Zhiqing and Hua Erhua were dating, but they still refused to admit it. Look, they even brought Zhou Laiying with them when they went back to her parents' home. If they were not dating, what else could they be?

Without waiting for Xia Yu to answer, Zhou Laiying, who was sitting in the back seat, rolled down the window, stuck his head out and shouted, "Zhou Damao, you're blocking the road."

Zhou Damao was not annoyed when he was named. He moved aside a little. When the car passed by him, he was still asking: "Laiying, Laiying, when will your niece and Xia Zhiqing have the wedding banquet?"

Zhou Laiying had been holding his chin up for the past few days. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What? You still want to go and give a gift?"

Zhou Damao patted his chest and said, "Of course. Your niece, Zhou Laiying, is marrying an educated youth from our brigade, so our family will definitely go."

Zhou Laiying's heart was moved, but she said with a smile: "Okay, I will come back and invite you in person after the wedding banquet!"

Zhou Damao was happy, "Then I will definitely go, with generous gifts."
