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

Hua Honeysuckle went back to the house, and when she came out again, she had a few cucumbers and a handful of coriander in her hands. In this period of shortage of food, these were more precious than meat.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up as he took it and hurried into the house. The rhythmic sound of cutting vegetables could be heard in the house, and when he came out, Xia Yu was holding a bowl of shredded cucumbers and a plate of minced garlic cucumbers garnished with a few sprigs of coriander.

The fresh and refreshing cucumber scent instantly makes people feel energetic.

The educated youth opposite had already been taking a deep breath of the aroma and eating a mouthful of sorghum rice. This time, there was even a slurping sound. Hua Rendong also heard Chen Yue complaining quietly, "I haven't eaten fresh cucumbers for half a year. I'm about to forget what cucumbers taste like."

Her words were echoed by another female educated youth at the same table named Zhang Xin. "That's right. In the north, it's hard to buy fresh fruits in October. I heard that in the south, fruits are fragrant all year round, but the price of shipped fruits is more expensive than meat. We can't afford to eat them. We really can't afford them. What kind of family do you think Comrade Hua is from? How can she afford to buy cucumbers at this time? Is she really a country girl from this village?"

Zhang Chuang laughed at the man sitting behind him, "Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? How can a country girl work in a place like the Women's Federation? Let me tell you, I have a cousin whose husband drives a driver for a leader in the city. According to him, places like the Women's Federation are places for the children of the leaders' wives to kill time. Comrade Hua, since she is not married, she must have an extraordinary father."

After hearing these words, the educated youth at two and a half tables fell silent, and even a few male educated youth began to have some ulterior motives.

Only Fu Gaoyuan sat a little far away. He was so jealous of the delicious food at the two tables that he didn't pay any attention to what was being said at the other two tables.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to mock, "We are all educated youth from the city. We went to the countryside to receive education from the poor and lower-middle peasants and to stop hedonism. But some people brought the hedonistic spirit to the countryside. Are they afraid that others don't know that they are privileged?"

Xia Yu tapped his fingers on the table and turned his head lazily, "Who are you talking about?"

Fu Gaoyuan held his neck high and said, "I didn't mention any names, so some people shouldn't feel guilty."

Xia Yu wanted to get up, but Hua Rendong held him down by the hand.

Although he had shaken hands with female comrades before, the soft touch from Hua Honeysuckle's palm made Xia Yu lose his mind for a moment. He sat there without moving, staring at the delicate little hand covering his back, his face flushed.

Hua Rendong didn't know that his thoughts suddenly became dangerous. He narrowed his eyes, turned his head and looked at Fu Gaoyuan who was holding his chin high and looking provocative, and sneered: "The poor and lower-middle peasants didn't teach some people to steal other people's cars, nor did they teach some people to fart without evidence! Or are some people just bad at heart and need to go to the countryside to receive education? If this is true, it seems that we need to report to our superiors. Some people really need to check whether their background is clean before going to the countryside. We can't throw a bad apple into the masses."

Fu Gaoyuan's face turned red and white at what Hua Rendong said, "Don't spit blood at me! My family has been poor farmers for three generations. We are clean and have no fear of investigation."

Hua Honeysuckle raised an eyebrow, "I didn't mention any names, why are you so anxious? Or have you really done something shameful? Are you taking it for granted? Since you are not afraid of being investigated, I will have someone call the street where you live to inquire. You also said that you are clean and not afraid of being investigated, so I guess you are not afraid, right?"

Fu Gaoyuan clenched his fists tightly and stared at Hua Rendong with gritted teeth. Not to mention that he did some things in school before going to the countryside that were not easy for outsiders to find out. Even if he was really clean, Hua Rendong asked someone to call, who knew what would be said on the phone? What if he said something ambiguous and specious, and it was spread out, who knows what mistakes he made after going to the countryside.

Hua Rendong thought Fu Gaoyuan would argue with her angrily that he was not afraid of the investigation, but he just said, "I don't want to bother with a woman like you!"

After saying that, he sat down and started eating.

Hua Rendong and Xia Yu looked at each other and understood each other tacitly: This Fu Gaoyuan is very suspicious. Even if it turns out that he is nothing serious, it would be a good idea to use this as an excuse to get rid of this annoying guy.

At this time, Cheng Yan said slowly, "Comrade Hua, you are a leader sent down from above. It's not right to be so aggressive, right?"

Hua Rendong laughed, "You all attack me for my privilege, so am I being aggressive if I defend myself? Do you really want to do as you wish and get rid of my job at the Women's Federation? I just heard that educated youth Zhang say that I must have an amazing father to be able to work at the Women's Federation?"

Zhang Chuang didn't expect that they were so far away. He spoke in a low voice, but Hua Rendong also heard it. Hearing this, he was frightened and waved his hands, "Comrade Hua, I don't mean anything else. I just have a bad mouth."

Hua Rendong's lips curled up, "What Zhang Zhiqing said is true. I do have an amazing father. I was able to join the Women's Federation because of him."

This time, not only Zhang Chuang turned pale, but the educated youth beside him also looked unhappy. Although they kept saying that they looked down on privileges and wanted to eliminate them, everyone knew that if someone really had privileges, it would be as easy to crush them as it would be to crush an ant.

If Hua Rendong's father was really as capable as she said, and was able to arrange for his daughter to join the Women's Federation, then making things difficult for these educated youth with no background, wouldn't that be as easy as drinking water?

Everyone looked at Zhang Chuang, Cheng Yan and Fu Gaoyuan with resentful eyes, as if to say: Why did you have to provoke her when she was fine? You just paid 360 yuan for a car, do you have too much money to burn?

Fu Gaoyuan got angry at being looked at like that. He stood up immediately, but when Hua Rendong looked at him with cold eyes, his momentum weakened and his voice became almost inaudible. "Look, you admit that you are privileged, and you still blame others for framing you?"

Hua Rendong snorted at him disdainfully, "If I am privileged to be assigned to work in the Women's Federation, then this privilege was earned with my father's life. More than ten years ago, he died in the line of duty, and the organization gave me this job opportunity in order to take care of his orphans. I just want to ask, if you want this opportunity, do you want it?"

The educated youth were collectively silent. Even if they wanted to say what they wanted, they could not really speak out what was in their hearts.

Hua Rendong continued, "I live alone, I have no burden at home, and my salary is decent. If I eat a few cucumbers grown in my own house, I will be accused of privilege. So let me ask you, if you don't grow cucumbers in your house, is it because you are lazy? Or do you look down on the poor and lower-middle peasants?"

Cheng Yan didn't dare to accept the hat of looking down on the poor and lower-middle peasants, and sneered: "You said you grew the cucumbers yourself, but you are lying to us city people who have never seen how to farm. I have seen cucumber vines, which are more than a person tall. How can you grow them in the house?"
