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

At this time, there were people sitting on small benches in a circle outside the Hua family's window. Some were holding rice bowls, some were holding teapots, and two were cracking melon seeds in their hands. It was obvious that they were all here to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

Seeing Hua Honeysuckle coming back from outside, he didn't have time to hide and felt a little embarrassed.

The woman who was closest to him hadn't had time to stop eating melons with excitement, but when Hua Rendong glanced at her, she put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, "Erhua, are you back? Go into the house and persuade your aunt. She's already been scolding you for half an hour. Don't let yourself get angry."

Hua Rendong rolled her eyes and said with a fake smile, "It's okay, Aunt Niu. It's good to let your aunt scold you. Otherwise, what if you quarreled with Brother Niu's wife last time and ended up in the hospital?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Aunt Niu and pushed the door open before entering the house.

It was not until the door of the Hua family's room was closed that Aunt Niu came to her senses. She was so angry that she gasped and asked the person who was moving a stool to leave, "What does this girl mean? Is she making fun of me? She rolled her eyes at me? Did you all see it? She rolled her eyes at me. Otherwise, why do people say that children without parents are poorly educated and don't know how to respect the elderly? Xu Xiangfeng must teach this daughter-in-law good rules when she marries her..."

Before she could utter the word "ju" (rule), a basin of cold water was poured over her head. The people around Aunt Niu had already moved their own stools and quickly moved aside when they saw the Hua family's door open. Only Aunt Niu, who had been sitting upright, was drenched in cold water.

Aunt Niu shivered after being poured with a basin of cold water on such a cold day. The sound of her teeth chattering was like a motor, and she couldn't utter a word.

Zhou Laiying exclaimed: "Oh my god, how could there be someone sitting outside my house in such a cold weather? I don't know what's going on. Look at how wet you are. Go back to the house and change clothes. Otherwise, you will freeze to death outside my house and blackmail me for a coffin."

After saying that, he spat on the ground and slammed the door shut.

Aunt Niu got up shivering. She was so cold that her mouth was frozen and she couldn't speak. She couldn't curse and it was even colder standing still. Finally, under everyone's persuasion, she took the bowl that had been doused with cold water and went home to change clothes.

Every day the Hua family would wait for Hua Rendong to get home from get off work before eating together. When she entered the house, the table and dishes had already been set up. Hua Dahua, who was sitting at the head of the kang, patted the empty seat next to her and winked at her, "Erhua, come sit next to me. I have something to tell you."

Hua Dahua is one month older than the original owner. Because they started school later, they are both nineteen years old. They have been in the same class from elementary school to high school. After graduating from high school last year, the original owner took over her father's job and went to work in a machinery factory. Hua Dahua couldn't find a job, so she stayed at home. In a few years, Hua Jianshe will retire, and Hua Dahua is preparing to take over her father's job.

Although the two sisters have quarreled many times since they were young, they are of the same age and their relationship is better than that of others. They even get into trouble together.

Seeing her acting mysterious at this moment, I wonder if she has done something "good" to share.

Hua Rendong agreed, took off her cotton-padded jacket, took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang.

As soon as she sat down, the warmth from under her butt made her breathe a sigh of relief, "It's still more comfortable at home."

Zhou Laiying, who had just vented his anger on Aunt Niu, brought the rice bowl into the house. Although his face was still sour, he didn't curse at anyone.

He put the basin of rice heavily on the head of the kang, turned around and left. Hua Xiaohua, who had been like a transparent person, quickly picked up the bowl to serve the rice.

Hua Dahua leaned close to Hua Rendong's ear and said in a loud voice: "Erhua, my aunt and I went to the city today. Guess who I saw?"

Hua Rendong immediately thought of Li Dongfeng who said this morning that he was going on a business trip to the city. Could it be that she had caught Li Dongfeng doing something?

But the two sisters have a good relationship. If Li Dongfeng really did something shameful, given Hua Dahua's temper, she would not cover it up for him and would make it known to everyone.

Zhou Laiying scolded her for so long before, but she didn't say it, so it shouldn't be Li Dongfeng.

So he pretended to be confused and asked, "Who is it? Is it a classmate from high school?"

"Haha!" Hua Dahua's laughter gradually became vulgar. "Guo Aihua, she wore a red sweater with big holes in it in such a cold weather, with her hair loose, standing in front of the Xinhua Bookstore, and no one knew who she was waiting for. You didn't see it, her hair was blown by the wind, and she looked like a crazy woman. Do you think she thought she looked very beautiful like that?"

The image of Guo Aihua standing in the biting wind with disheveled hair posing in her pose came to my mind, and I couldn't help but shiver for her.

Zhou Laiying brought the dishes into the room and glared at Hua Dahua. "You're a girl, why are you so talkative? Just mind your own business!"

Hua Dahua stuck out her tongue at Hua Rendong. Seeing that her mother was still in a bad mood, she didn't dare say anything more. She picked up the chopsticks on the table and started to share the food.

What I made tonight is corn grits rice and cabbage stewed with tofu. None of the women in the Hua family are good at cooking. The cabbage in the pot of cabbage and tofu stew tastes like cabbage, and the tofu tastes like tofu. It's a waste of the lard in the pot.

Zhou Laiying took a few bites of rice and spoke hesitantly, "Erhua, my aunt has something to say, don't take it too seriously."

Hua Rendong swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded hurriedly, "Aunt, you say it. I know that Aunt treats me better than my own mother, so I won't think too much."

This is not a lie. After the original owner's father passed away, her mother abandoned her, took away the valuables in the house, and ran away to the city with a man to live a good life.

If the factory had not paid her a monthly pension, there wouldn't be even that little money left for the original owner.

Later, the original owner was taken in by her uncle and his wife. She had everything that her two cousins ​​had. Zhou Laiying was absolutely impartial. Even the pension left by the original owner's father and the house allocated by the factory were kept for the original owner over the years.

The three turns and one ring and four seasons of clothes prepared for the original owner's wedding were paid for from that money, and some of the shortfalls were filled by the couple using their savings.

Even after all this has happened, if she still takes her aunt-in-law’s words to heart, is she still a human being?

Sure enough, after Hua Rendong finished speaking, Zhou Laiying's expression became much better, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "My aunt just thinks that you are only nineteen after the Chinese New Year, and it is okay for you to stay at home for a few more years. Why are you in such a hurry to get married? Why don't we choose carefully?"

Hua Rendong didn't expect that Zhou Laiying was going to say this. She was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved upwards, showing Zhou Laiying a sweet smile, "Well, don't worry, it's not like you can't get married, then just choose again."

Although she was not the original owner, she could feel the genuine love in Zhou Laiying's words. This aunt-in-law was indeed much better than the original owner's biological mother.

"Hey, Erhua is more sensible than your sister."

Hua Dahua, who was brought along, made a face at Hua Rendong, but when he saw his mother glaring at him, he quickly lowered his head and started eating.

After receiving Hua Rendong's assurance, Zhou Laiying kept smiling, and kept putting some pork lard into Hua Rendong's bowl. "Eat more meat to replenish your body. Our Erhua is tall and beautiful. She is definitely the most beautiful female worker in Zhou County. She can find a husband of any kind. She won't suffer under the hands of that bitch surnamed Xu! Tomorrow I will bring people to explain to Xu that our Erhua is a blessed person, so she won't marry into her house. She cries and pees all day long, and even the blessings that come to her doorstep will be cried away."
