The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 47: Keep a respectful distance
After Grandpa Zhou finished spanking her, she lowered the curtain and lay down when Grandpa Zhou started snoring again. Grandma Zhou went over and slapped him twice again.
After a few tries, Grandma Zhou was tired. Her leg was still in a splint, so she just left it to Grandpa Zhou.
Originally, Grandma Zhou wanted to talk to the two girls, but she didn't expect that after she asked a few questions about family matters, she started snoring.
If Grandpa Zhou's snoring is loud and reckless, then Grandma Zhou's snoring is circuitous and gentle, which is really tortuous and heart-wrenching.
The two sisters were talking to each other about Hua Dahua replacing Hua Rendong's job, and their voices were so low that they could hardly hear each other.
It’s hard for Hua Ai Dang to sleep when he’s sandwiched between his grandparents.
Knowing that Hua Rendong had a guaranteed job in the Women's Federation, Hua Dahua also began to imagine how powerful she would be when she had a job.
"That Chen Dayong wanted to date me before, but his mother didn't like me because I didn't have a job. She told everyone that I wasn't good enough for her son. Didn't her son just take over her job sweeping the streets? He only makes less than 20 yuan a month. What's so great about that? I'll see if she regrets it when I get a job in the factory and become a worker."
Hua Rendong yawned and said, "Then once you take over the job, go to his house and show off, so that everyone in his family knows that you are a worker in the machinery factory, and you earn tens of dollars a month."
Chen Dayong is their high school classmate and has always been interested in Hua Dahua. Hua Dahua doesn't have that kind of feeling towards him, but she's just angry about being disliked by his mother.
Hearing this, Hua Dahua hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, I won't. I don't like him. I'll show off to him after I get married, and then he won't come around to bother me."
Hua Rendeng was just teasing Hua Dahua. If Hua Dahua really wanted to show off in front of the Chen family, she would have to stop her. She didn't want to have a silly and old cousin.
Hearing her words of avoiding as much as possible, Hua Rendong couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, but her hand reached under the quilt towards Grandma Zhou who was snoring loudly.
Grandma Zhou's leg was broken, and although she had a splint on, it was difficult for her to recover on her own because she was too old. Her special ability could cure the big bearded man's injuries, so it should be able to cure Grandma Zhou's leg as well.
She doesn’t want such a good grandma to suffer.
Grandma Zhou is almost seventy years old. She looks strong on weekdays, but she suffered too much when she was young, and her physical condition has long been deteriorating.
While Honeysuckle's special power was flowing through her body, it was also sorting out and repairing her various bodily functions.
This was the first time that Hua Honeysuckle had received such meticulous treatment. His special powers were lost very quickly, and before his injured leg could be repaired, most of them had been used up.
While retracting his supernatural powers, Hua Honeysuckle couldn't help but think: Saving lives is much more tiring than farming.
Because he had consumed too much of his supernatural power, Hua Honeysuckle slept until dawn even though he could hear snoring in his ears.
In the countryside, families usually eat two meals during the off-season. When the honeysuckle woke up, it was only six o'clock, and the meal was already ready. Zhou Xiahe put the kang table on the table and smiled dryly, "Grandpa and grandma are really good to my cousins. During the off-season, the family only eats two thin meals. When the cousins come, not only can we eat three meals, but every meal is dry."
Grandma Zhou sat on the kang, refreshed. Although her leg was still broken, for some reason she felt that she was much more energetic today than before, and it seemed that even her presbyopia had helped her see more clearly.
Not knowing that this was the result of Hua Jindong's treatment for her in the middle of the night, Grandma Zhou just thought that she was happy to see her daughter's family and they were all well.
After hearing what Zhou Xiahe said, he raised his chin and said, "That's right. Dahua and the others don't come here many times throughout the year. How can I let them just drink porridge when they come? Besides, they didn't come empty-handed. Didn't you eat the food they brought?"
Seeing Zhou Xiahe responding awkwardly, Hua Rendong held down Hua Dahua who was about to argue. After all, grandparents would still have to live with their eldest uncle and second uncle in the future, and they couldn't let the whole family be in turmoil just to protect them.
However, I didn't spend much time with my uncle's family. I just felt that he was an honest man. But my aunt was petty and calculative, and the daughter she raised had a similar personality to her.
It seems that there are no major conflicts at the moment. In order to live in peace in the future, it is better to stay away from them.
Fang Yanhong made breakfast. There was sweet potato porridge cooked under the pot and cornmeal and vegetable dumplings steamed under the lid. Although there was no meat, it tasted delicious with lard.
Hua Rendong drank a large bowl of porridge in one breath and ate three large steamed dumplings. "Second aunt, your vegetable dumplings are really delicious."
Seeing that Hua Jindong liked to eat it, Fang Yanhong smiled widely, "Second aunt is worried that you won't be used to it. If you like it, I'll steam some for you when you go back."
Hua Honeysuckle hurriedly thanked Fang Yanhong.
I don’t know if they really loved Fang Yanhong’s steamed vegetable dumplings or were simply competing with Hua Honeysuckle in eating them, but except for the youngest ones, Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe, the other children from my uncle’s family, ate five or six each. They originally had two full pots of vegetable dumplings, but they were all eaten up in one meal.
When they left the table, everyone had bulging bellies and couldn't bend down. Even my aunt Zhang Yun was burping because of the bulging belly.
Grandma Zhou frowned and said to Fang Yanhong, "Don't cook so much for the next meal. Look how bloated they are. If you don't know, you would think we don't feed them enough."
"I got it, Mom." Fang Yanhong was speechless. She had been thinking of cooking more for one meal so that she wouldn't have to cook too much at noon. But she had never expected that the people in her uncle's family would fight over the food.
Although they can't usually eat rich food at home, there is no shortage of food and drink in the countryside. Their family has one of the longest lifespans in the village, and no one has ever gone hungry. How can these people be so shallow?
After clearing the dishes, Hua Rendong and Hua Dahua wanted to go to the river to fish, but were stopped by Grandma Zhou, "You two girls, don't go out and wander around. If you run into those bad guys and something happens, I won't be able to explain to your parents."
The two sisters thought so when they heard it. Although they were not afraid of those people, they also did not want to cause trouble for the Zhou family.
Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe poked their heads in from the outer room. "Cousin, don't go fishing. Come make matchboxes with us."
Hua Rendong was unwilling to do it. Although she had never done it before, she knew it was not an easy job. She had to sit there and paste all day long, which was harder than the workers on the factory assembly line.
But the two sisters didn't wait for them to refuse, and happily pulled their hands and dragged them into the house. The two sisters had no choice but to follow them to take a look.
Anyway, they will say that they didn't do the job well after working for a while, so can they still force themselves to work for nothing?
When I entered the room where the two sisters lived, I saw a kang table placed on the small kang, and on the table were tools and materials for making matches.
Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe each pulled the Hua sisters to the table on the kang. Perhaps they had just eaten too much, and it was obvious that they all took a deep breath when they sat down.
