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

At night, each room had a table. Although the light bulbs were dim, they were much brighter than the countryside where there was no electricity. After taking a few bites of food, Mr. Zhou raised his head to look at the light bulbs. After taking a few more bites, he raised his head again to look at the light bulbs. He couldn't hide the envy in his eyes. "When will we have electricity in the countryside? I can light it all night without my eyes hurting. Isn't this much better than using oil lamps?"

Thinking about the suburbs of Beijing, even the rural areas have electricity, and thinking that Taohuawan Brigade will also have electricity soon, Xia Yu comforted him, "It will be soon. In a few years, we will all have electricity. By then, we will all live in high-rise buildings, and we will all be able to live with lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs."

Zhou Sanye enjoyed the cake very much. He gave Xia Yu a thumbs up and said, "Why do you say you are a cultured person? I like to hear what you say. I want to live a good life and strive to live the good life you said before I die."

Grandpa Zhou slapped him on the back and said, "You old man, why are you talking about death on New Year's Day? You have to live well, live to be a hundred years old, and then the young men in the village will call you grandpa when they see you."

Uncle Zhou San was grimacing when he was slapped by him. "You old man, you are still quite strong. Okay, I will live well and wait to see your great-great-grandchildren."

The atmosphere was just right, and it was much more comfortable than lunch. Uncle Zhou San miraculously discovered that he usually felt bloated and uncomfortable if he ate too much, but today he ate so much that it was about to reach his throat, but not only did he not feel uncomfortable, he even felt warm and comfortable.

Because we had drunk alcohol, we all slept very soundly and did not wake up until dawn the next day. When we looked at the clock, it was almost ten o'clock.

When Mr. Zhou San caught the carriage to go back to the brigade, Hua Jindong loaded a lot of things into his carriage, including a large water turtle and a large bag of clothes for different seasons. As the weather was cold, she also brought him a lot of frozen meat, which would last him more than a month, and five cans of malted milk, so that he could drink it whenever he wanted.

Uncle Zhou San kept saying, "Enough, enough! This year the brigade distributed money, and I got more than 100 yuan. We have enough food at home, and our life is much better than before. We really don't need so many things."

But he didn't really refuse. In his opinion, the things given to him by the younger generation were a recognition of him as a person, and they would be enough for him to show off for a long time if he took them back.

Yes, go to Zhou Laicai’s house to show off and let Zhang Yun know what she has lost.

After seeing off Mr. Zhou Zhou, the Zhou family stayed at Hua Rendong's place. The Hua family was not in a hurry to return to Zhou County. Anyway, there were still several days before work, so everyone got together well. Otherwise, after the New Year, the Zhou family would return to Beijing and it would be difficult to get together again.

With nothing to do, Zhou Laiying started to worry about her niece's marriage. The betrothal gift has been given and the face has been fully given. When do the couple plan to get married?

If possible, she would prefer to set up the wine at Hua's house before the couple returned to Beijing, so as to avoid the possibility of having no time in the future and it would be difficult for everyone to get together again.

As soon as Zhou Laiying told him her idea, Xia Yu immediately expressed his opinion, "Aunt, if you follow my opinion, the sooner the better, even tomorrow is fine, but I'm afraid Erhua won't agree."

Hua Honeysuckle pinched him and said, "When did I say no? Don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Laiying clapped his hands and laughed when he heard it. "Okay, okay, since everyone has agreed, why don't we take advantage of the first month of the year when everyone is gathered and set up the wine when we get back?"

Xia Yu immediately agreed, and Hua Rendong did not object, so the matter was decided.

So Zhou Laiying and Hua Jianshe's family returned to Zhou County that day. Hua Rendong and Xia Yu drove them back, and also packed a lot of meat and vegetables for the wedding banquet in the car.

As soon as Zhou Laiying got home, she announced the plan to have a wedding banquet on the sixth day of the New Year. She also agreed with her neighbors to borrow their home to place the table, and the neighbors had no objection.

In the next few days, Hua Rendong and Xia Yu were busy transporting things back. If Hua Rendong was not afraid that taking things directly from the space would scare the Zhou family, she would not have wanted to go through so much trouble.

Fortunately, everything was prepared very well. In addition to chicken, duck, fish, meat and seafood, there were also several kinds of vegetables that were rare at this time of year. Fried meat and cold dishes were also prepared. The Zhou family's house was filled to the brim, and even the neighbor's balcony was borrowed to store frozen fish and meat.

The wine party is held on the sixth day of the New Year, and things start to get busy on the fifth day. Things that need to be prepared in advance, such as braised pork elbows, have to be boiled in advance, and some things that need to be thawed are also brought into the house to thaw.

The chef was the master chef invited from the office cafeteria. When he heard that Hua Rendong and Xia Yu were getting married, he came over to help without saying a word.

On the evening of the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Zhou Laiying called Hua Rendong into the room alone. In addition to the 20,000 yuan that Xia Yu brought, Zhou Laiying took out another 1,000 yuan and said, "Erhua, this is the dowry that your uncle and aunt gave you. Don't think it's too little."

Hua Rendeng knew that although her uncle's salary was not low, his expenses had also been high in recent years. In the early years, he was the only one earning money, and he also had to send money to his parents back home. It was not easy for him to save this much, so how could he think it was too little?

Hua Rendong wanted Zhou Laiying to keep the betrothal gift, but Zhou Laiying refused to keep it no matter what. Hua Rendong made up her mind that after returning to Beijing, she would find a way to bring all the Hua family members to Beijing, so that she would not leave them behind when she made money.

Compared with the Zhou family, she is naturally closer to the Hua family. It would be a pity that now she can make money with Zhou Lai Fu but leave her uncle's family behind.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the New Year, the downstairs of the family building became bustling. Many leaders from the city came to congratulate after receiving the news. Those who recognized the identities of those people were stunned. They were all wondering who Xia Yu was. How could holding a banquet alarm the top leaders of the city?

In particular, these leaders would hold Hua Jianshe's hands tightly as soon as they met, as if they were meeting long-lost relatives, and would keep asking him to come to them if he encountered any troubles or difficulties in the future. It was so thoughtful and heartwarming that Hua Jianshe, who was used to seeing leaders, was completely confused.

The director of the machinery factory also came. Before coming, he thought he was the most prestigious guest today, and everyone was prepared to invite him to the stage to speak. But now, seeing these leaders, he felt that he was not even worthy of carrying their shoes, so how could he dare to mention speaking on the stage?

In addition to these leaders, people from the Women's Federation also came after receiving the letter, plus neighbors, colleagues from the factory, and people from the Taohuawan Brigade. The original budget was for thirty tables, but it looked like fifty tables would not be enough.

In the end, Hua Rendong and Xia Yu went out several times and finally managed to prepare enough ingredients.

Because it was the bride's family that hosted the banquet, there was no need for wedding-like things, but the leader had to say a few words when he came, so everyone gathered in a circle downstairs in the family building, and the city's top leader stood on a platform made of several tables and gave a passionate speech, which made the people listening below very excited.

The top leader finished speaking, then the second-in-command spoke, then the second-in-command spoke, then Director Fang spoke, and after the leaders had taken turns to express their blessings, it was already half past ten.
