The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 39 Going to Taohuawan Brigade
Hua Jianshe still felt that Hua Rendong's statement about working in the Municipal Women's Federation was a bit unreliable. He didn't say anything, but he was thinking about going to the Municipal Women's Federation to ask. He had to make sure that his niece was not cheated.
If it's true, Hua Jindong has a better future and the eldest daughter has a job, then it's really cause for celebration. "I'll call your aunt's family in the village tomorrow and ask them to come back."
Hua Rendong, who had already received the task, stopped him and said, "I haven't visited grandma for a long time. I will go to the city to work next week. I don't know if I will have time in the future. How about we go to Taohua Bay together this Sunday and pick up my aunt and cousin?"
Hua Jianshe agreed when he heard that. He rode his bike to Taohuawan and turned into the city to buy a bicycle for Erhua. It took more than half an hour to walk to the Women's Federation in the city from Erhua's home in the city, and there was no direct bus going there. She had to go to the station and back up to go to work.
With a bike, you don’t have to squeeze into the bus with others every day.
In the next two days, Hua Jianshe took the opportunity of a business trip to the city to inquire about the Municipal Women's Federation. He learned that the Municipal Women's Federation was indeed going to transfer a person named Hua Rendong, but she had not yet started work and her work file had not been transferred. He finally felt relieved.
After returning home, he reminded Hua Rendong, "Second girl, the work of the Women's Federation is not easy. You are a newcomer, and you have to do all the errands and work that requires you to endure the humiliation. You have to control your temper when things happen, but you can't let others bully you. You have to be tough when you need to be tough."
Hua Rendong nodded after hearing this, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm smart and I'm not going to suffer any loss."
Hua Jianshe wanted to say that his daughter Dahua was not someone to be bullied and that a place like the Women's Federation was more suitable for her.
But compared to being a female worker in a factory, the work in the Women's Federation is indeed easier and more respectable, and the people one can come into contact with are also different from those of the female workers in the factory. He was also afraid of delaying Erhua's good future, so in the end he just gave her one warning after another.
Early on Sunday morning, Hua Jianshe took Hua Rendong out and told Hua Xiaohua to lock the door at home and cook for herself if she was hungry.
Hua Xiaohua got up with her hair in a mess and locked the door. Hua Jianshe pushed his feet and rode his bicycle out of the family compound and headed straight for Xinshi.
It was not yet eight o'clock when they arrived in Xinshi, so the father and son went into the state-owned restaurant in front of the station. The waitress who took their orders was the same one that day.
Seeing the grandfather and the grandfather greeted each other warmly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Are there just the two of you today?"
Hua Jianshe smiled, "My niece was transferred to work at the Municipal Women's Federation. Her previous bicycle was lost, so I brought her here to buy another one today."
When the waitress heard that they were being transferred to the Municipal Women's Federation, a department that one could not get into without connections, she became more enthusiastic towards the father and son.
"Oh, that's a good company. I wish you a promotion in the future."
Hua Rendong thanked her, and the waiter pointed to a row of side dishes on the table and said, "This morning we have noodle soup, steamed buns, wontons, and porridge. The side dishes prepared by the new chef are delicious. Do you want to try them?"
Since the dish was specially recommended to him, Hua Jianshe would of course order one to give him face. He also ordered half a roast chicken, six taels of steamed buns and two bowls of porridge. While eating, the father and son stared at the department store across the street.
At eight o'clock, the department store opened and the father and son said hello to the waiter before going out.
Before leaving, Hua Honeysuckle gave a favorable comment in the comment book. After walking more than ten steps, she could still hear the waiter behind her saying welcome to come next time.
I spent two cents to deposit my bicycle at the entrance of the city department store, and then I entered the department store with the deposit ticket.
The merchandise in the city department store is indeed more complete than that in the county department store, and the variety of bicycles is very complete. The grandfather and he arrived early, and there were not many people inside. The salesperson's attitude was also nice, and he introduced each bicycle one by one. Finally, Hua Rendong chose a Phoenix brand women's bicycle, which cost her 180 yuan and used a bicycle ticket.
After buying the bike, Hua Jianshe went to buy two boxes of snacks and was not in a hurry to ride it away. He asked the salesperson to keep an eye on it for a while. The salesperson did not refuse, but just asked them to keep the delivery note and give it to her when they picked up the bike later.
While Hua Jianshe and a group of people were rushing to buy snacks, Hua Rendong took a basket of eggs and a rooster from the space. The basket was the one he bought from the old lady when buying chicks, and the eggs were laid by the chickens in the space.
In a few days, the chicks have grown into adult chickens and started laying eggs yesterday. There are fifteen hens and seven roosters, and they laid more than fifty eggs in just over a day. Honeysuckle was afraid that there were too many roosters and the hens would not lay eggs, so she just sent one of the roosters away.
The egg basket is filled with chopped straw to prevent the eggs from being broken by the bumps on the road.
After Hua Jianshe bought some snacks and found his niece, he saw that she was holding a basket of eggs and a rooster. The eggs were slightly larger than duck eggs, and the rooster was shiny and glossy, and it must have weighed more than ten pounds.
"Second girl, where are the chickens and eggs?"
Hua Rendong pointed to the side where the side dishes were sold and said, "I bought it right there. I saw a lot of people rushing to buy it, so I followed suit and it was sold out in a short while."
Hua Jianshe looked over but didn't see anything, but it was not uncommon for department stores to suddenly get some in-demand groceries, so he didn't think much about it and just thought he was really lucky today.
I just looked at the basket of eggs that Honeysuckle had put in it for a few more times. Honeysuckle hurriedly explained, "I picked it up over there. It might be too broken, so someone else didn't want it!"
Hua Jianshe saw that the basket was indeed very broken, so he didn't doubt it.
It was getting late, so the father and son rode their own bicycles to Taohuawan Brigade. Hua Rendong had eggs on the back seat of his bicycle, so he didn't dare ride too fast. It was already past ten o'clock when they entered the village.
It was not yet the busy farming season, so if there was work, it would be given to families in financial difficulty or those who had a good relationship with the team leader. At this time, many villagers were sitting in the village to bask in the sun, and when they saw someone riding a bicycle into the village, they all looked over.
In those days, every family had similar conditions, and the Taohuawan Brigade was relatively poor in the surrounding area. In the entire brigade, only the brigade headquarters had a bicycle that Hua Xirong rode back then. Later, it was scrapped and Zhou Laiying gave it to his younger brother Zhou Laifu.
Now that Zhou Laifu was the team leader, the bicycle was placed in the team headquarters for use. This old bicycle, which was more than 20 years old, made noises everywhere except the bell.
At this time, when I saw two bicycles entering the village, I wanted to see if they were leaders from somewhere who were going to the countryside to inspect work. After recognizing that they were Hua Jianshe and Hua Rendong, I felt surprised, but also not so surprised.
In the entire Taohuawan Brigade, Zhou Laiying is the one who married the best. Her husband can earn more than 100 yuan a month, so it is no wonder that her family can afford two bicycles.
Even without talking about the bicycles the grandfather and his wife rode, just the things hanging on their bicycles are enough to make people curious.
Every family is not rich these days, so if someone can send a box of snacks when they visit, they are real relatives. If someone sends both chicken and snacks when they visit, it is only seen when a new son-in-law comes to visit. I have never seen a son-in-law like Hua Jianshe, whose children can get married, bring such a big gift when he comes.
I envy Zhou Laiying even more!
