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

Chapter 5 Eat, eat, eat, I think you look like an egg cake

Hua Rendong couldn't help laughing at Zhou Laiying's words and burst out laughing.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became relaxed. Even Hua Jianshe, who had been advising Zhou Laiying to say less, raised his lips when he saw Hua Rendong smile. "Yes, that woman doesn't look like a good person. Our second daughter can't marry her and be bullied."

"Haha, you are good at being wise after the event. Yesterday you said that one of them was kind and the other was promising. So you are the only one saying all the good and bad things?"

"I'm just thinking that the second girl will eventually marry him. You may be happy for a while, but what will the second girl do in the future?"

Zhou Laiying rolled her eyes at him, "Not only do I want to be happy this time, I want to be happy again tomorrow. I'm telling you, don't get involved in this matter. Tomorrow I'll find a few people to go with me to cancel the marriage, so that the mother and daughter won't continue to confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense outside. Everything that Li Dongfeng took from the second girl must be returned without missing a thing. I've never seen such a shameless mother and son. It's fine if they want to marry a daughter-in-law without spending a penny, but how can they take advantage of it like this family? Second girl, with your aunt here, you will never be bullied. Come, eat a few more bites, this stewed vegetable with oil residue is delicious."

After saying that, a few more spoonfuls of oil residue appeared in Hua Jindong's bowl.

Hua Jianshe moved his lips, wanting to say that he could go along, but then he thought of Zhou Laiying's mouth. What if she cursed too harshly? Would he listen? Or listen? In the end, he said nothing more.

Hua Dahua and Hua Xiaohua were flirting with each other, and it was obvious that they were unable to hold their fart well.

The eight-year-old cousin Hua Aidang looked at this and that, not understanding their arguments. Instead, he took the time to eat an extra bowl of rice. When he saw the oil residue in Hua Honeysuckle's bowl, he couldn't help slurping his saliva. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of oil residue from the bowl and put it in his mouth: Alas, it's burnt again, not fragrant at all!

The corn grits were too hard, and it hurt Hua Jindong's cheeks to chew them. The cabbage stewed with tofu was tasteless. Hua Jindong forced herself to finish the rice in the bowl and put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Uncle, aunt, I'm done."

Zhou Laiying looked at the empty bowl with concern, "Why did you only eat one bowl? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Hua Honeysuckle waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I'm just not hungry."

"Why aren't you hungry? Look at how thin you are. A strong wind will blow you away. Listen to your aunt and eat more. Eat until you are fat. Who dares to bully you?"

Seeing Hua Rendong's tangled face, Hua Jianshe sighed and lost the mood to eat. "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. You're in a bad mood. Just take a good sleep and you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Hua Rendong wanted to explain that she was not in a bad mood. In fact, she had just gained space and superpowers and was in a good mood. She simply couldn't get used to eating coarse grains.

But seeing the whole family's expressions of sympathy and distress, I knew no matter how much I explained, no one would believe me, so I could only shut up helplessly.

When they walked to the outer room, they heard Hua Jianshe whispering to Zhou Laiying, "Cook two eggs for the second girl later, and keep some fire in the stove to keep them warm, so she won't wake up hungry at night."

"What eggs should I cook? I still have some lard and dried shrimps left from the year before last. I'll make her an egg cake. The second girl loves my steamed egg cakes the most."

"That's fine too. Steam it until it's tender. Don't steam it like old tofu like last time. It was so hard it could be used as a brick."

"I know, I know. It was overcooked last time because I was too busy and forgot. How could it be as hard as you said? This time I will watch over the stove and make sure it is tender. I will bring it to the second girl when it is done."

My cousin Hua Aidang said crisply, "Mom, mom, I want to eat egg cake too. Can you steam one for me?"

"Eat, eat, eat. You look like a cake to me!"

……

When I returned to the house, my aunt's words "I think you look like an egg cake" were still echoing in my mind. A smile played on my lips, but my eyes were a little moist because of such preference.

In her previous life, her mother died during childbirth due to complications, and her father died in a car accident when she was five years old. After the family property and house were divided up by her vicious relatives, the young girl was sent to an orphanage.

Although she fought a lawsuit to regain the inheritance left by her father when she grew up, no one had ever said to her the common conversation that children should get whatever they want.

How wonderful it is that now she has a family that loves her!

When I woke up in the morning, Zhou Laiying was already cooking breakfast at the stove in the outer room. She had two stoves burning at the same time, one for cooking porridge and the other for frying dried river fish.

No oil was added to the small river fish, so the air was filled with the smell of burnt smoke, mixed with the pungent smell of coal smoke and the heat from the cooking porridge. It hurt people's eyes a little. It was hard for Zhou Laiying to be busy without changing her expression.

When Zhou Laiying saw Hua Rendong coming out, he hurriedly pushed open the door of the outer room. Smoke instantly rushed out and dissipated after a while, but the cold air that came in also made Hua Rendong shiver.

"Why are you up so early? It's only six o'clock, it's still too early to go to work."

Hua Jindong went to the warm water jar next to the stove and took a ladle of water, then filled it up. Then he said with a smile: "The dried fish fried by my aunt is so fragrant that it woke me up."

Zhou Laiying was overjoyed when she heard this. She said that her cooking was delicious, but those uncles were always finding fault with her. They were really spoiled by her! Her niece was still very nice. As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt as sweet as eating honey.

"If you like it, eat more later. Auntie will pack you a lunch box and take it to the factory to eat with your coworkers."

Hua Jindong's face was dull for a moment, but she forced a smile towards Zhou Laiying's smiling eyes, "My aunt loves me the most. I can't bear to give such good food to others. I won't take it and will eat it at home."

"These are all caught by my aunt in the river last autumn. There are still a lot. You just started working, you must get along well with your coworkers."

"We won't take that. Let's get some dried chilies, peanuts, and dried fish and fry them together. Wouldn't that taste good? We won't give them that."

"You greedy girl! Your aunt will make it for you later." The aunt scolded with a smile, but did not mention the matter of bringing the dried fish again.

After washing my face and pouring the water into the drain outside, I came back and saw a bowl of salted radish strips already cut in a large bowl next to the chopping board. Each strip was as thick as a chopstick, which was very original.

Hua Jianshe came in from outside, holding a large bowl in his hand, which was half filled with tofu dregs.

"These old ladies are so crowded that we didn't get any tofu. There are only some tofu dregs left. How about mixing them with some sauce and eating them?"

Zhou Laiying smacked her lips. "What can I do? I'll just fry some bean curd cakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Xiangfeng walking towards him, looking frail and with a large piece of tofu in the bowl in her hand.

Looking at the tall and strong Hua Jianshe, and then at Xu Xiangfeng who swayed as she walked, Zhou Laiying rolled her eyes at him unhappily, "You have a big body for nothing."

Hua Jianshe's face was filled with innocence, and he whispered, "These are all old women fighting for it, how can I have the nerve to squeeze in? I can't explain who I offended even if I have a mouth."
