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

Honeysuckle rolled her eyes at her with disdain: "You've never seen farming, but you've never seen flowers being planted? We country folk don't have the leisure time like you city folks. We usually like to grow flowers and grass. We have flower pots in the house and we grow something to fill our stomachs."

After saying that, Hua Honeysuckle returned to the house and soon brought out a pot of cucumber vines that was more than half a person's height, with more than a dozen cucumbers of different sizes hanging on it.

"See? I'm here to broaden your horizons. These are the cucumbers I grew myself. I can grow a few cucumbers in a pot at home. No one will tell me what to do, right?"

This time the educated youth really had nothing to say. They had not occupied any state land, and they couldn't even accuse them of taking advantage of them.

Besides, anyone who is accused of bullying the orphans of martyrs will be half dead.

However, the cucumbers were really good. Chen Yue said embarrassedly, "Comrade Hua, you have a lot of cucumbers. Can you sell me two?"

Hua Rendong's impression of her was not that bad. She thought that she couldn't treat all the educated youth as class enemies, so she should win over a few of them. In this way, if anything happened in the educated youth center in the future, she would be able to know the news in advance and be prepared.

So he smiled and said, "What do you mean by for sale? I'm not a speculator. If Chen Zhiqing has something that I need, we can just exchange what we have."

After asking, Chen Yue regretted her impulsiveness. She shouldn't have asked in front of so many people. Fortunately, Hua Rendong agreed to exchange with her, so she nodded in agreement.

The meal was quite lively. After the meal, the educated youth had to go back to work. They had peeled the peanuts and edamame they had brought back a few days ago, and today they had to peel corn.

Most of the rice grown by the Taohuawan Brigade had to be paid as public grain, but the corn grown on the mountain was the team members' regular ration. The seeds were kept by the brigade, tied into sticks and hung in the warehouse, and could be peeled and planted in the spring.

Thinking of the female educated youth who was in the same team with Xia Yu and her look of despair every day, Hua Rendong couldn't help laughing in her heart. Who would have thought that Xia Yu, who looked like a decent person, was actually a swindler.

In order to prevent the female educated youth from continuing to despair, Hua Rendong decided to borrow Xia Yu away with Zhou Laifu.

The situation of Taohuawan Brigade has been roughly understood. In the next few days, she will visit several neighboring brigades. Fortunately, there is someone to help her, so she doesn't have to write the blackboard newspaper for the whole day, which makes her arms sore from exhaustion.

When I went to the brigade to talk to Zhou Laifu, he didn't hesitate at all and said, "Xia Zhiqing, follow Erhua and help me. I will give you six work points a day. What do you think?"

Xia Yu said with a serious attitude, "I promise to complete the task given by the captain!"

Zhou Lai Fu felt that as the team leader, he had an unprecedented degree of majesty.

Coming out of the brigade headquarters, I saw the female educated youth who was originally in the team with Xia Yu. She had a pile of corn cobs in front of her. Her eyes were still empty and her expression was still hopeless. The speed at which she rubbed the corn was not even as fast as a child. It was obvious that she had completely given up.

When he saw Xia Yu following Hua Rendong out of the brigade headquarters, he gave Xia Yu a look. The aura he had when they first met was gone.

And when he looked at Hua Honeysuckle, there was even more sympathy.

Xia Yu walked to the side of the female educated youth, cleared his throat, and said awkwardly, "Yue Zhiqing, the team leader assigned me to do something else today. Please help me with these tasks. When I come back, I will give you the work points in other ways."

Yue Zhiqing's hollow eyes lit up, and his words became more and more slurred due to his excitement. "Are you serious? What are you going to give me as compensation? How are the previous work points calculated?"

Xia Yu turned his head and met the teasing in Hua Rendong's eyes. He said helplessly: "All of them, how about I give you a box of canned pork?"

The light in Yue Zhiqing's eyes became brighter, and he nodded quickly, "Yeah, don't lie to me, I'll go to the new Zhiqing point to get canned food from you after work tonight."

"Don't worry, I'll bring it to you when I come back in the evening!" Xia Yu was helpless. Did he look like the kind of person who would refuse to pay just for a box of canned food?

Seeing Yue Zhiqing, who had been so lazy before, rubbing corn with his hands so fast that afterimages were left after being compensated with a can of pork, it is true that the mood is always different when working for others for free and when working for others for a fee.

After agreeing on the price, Xia Yu sat on the back seat of Hua Honeysuckle's bicycle, and the two soon disappeared at the end of the village road.

The educated youth who were working all looked at Yue Zhiqing with envy. If they helped Xia Zhiqing for two days, they could get a box of canned meat. They wanted it too. Why didn't they have Yue Zhiqing's keen eyes and choose Xia Zhiqing right away?

If I had known this good thing would happen, why didn’t I agree to it when Yue Zhiqing proposed to change the team the day before yesterday?

I had heard from people at the new educated youth site that when Xia Zhiqing first arrived, he hired someone to repair his house and he treated the people in the team to noodles cooked with canned pork. Over the past two days, the smell of meat has been wafting from his house, making them drool just by hearing about it as they haven't tasted meat since the Chinese New Year.

Riding their bicycles on the deserted village road, Hua Rendong and Xia Yu exchanged their discoveries over the past few days.

It turned out that when Hua Rendong infiltrated the village, Xia Yu had already gone into the mountains twice, once when the educated youth went to the city to buy things, and once on the night when Hua Rendong did not return.

Although he didn't make any major discoveries, he did find some suspicious points. He would wait until the next time he took Hua Jindong into the mountains to see if she could use her special powers to find out some information.

Although Hua Rendong never told anyone about her special abilities, Xia Yu had a feeling that she could monitor and eavesdrop on her target through her special abilities.

This time they came to the Xingzigou Brigade, which was adjacent to the Taohuawan Brigade.

Taohuawan Brigade is famous for its mountains full of peach trees, and Xingzigou Brigade is famous for its abundant sweet apricots.

The two brigades were close to each other. When the original owner was a child, he often followed his cousins ​​here. The original owner was familiar with the villagers, which meant that Hua Jindong was familiar with them.

Hearing that Hua Rendong was a comrade sent by the Women's Federation to do work, the team leader Xu Tiezhu immediately expressed a warm welcome, "Erhua, I have always thought that you are as extraordinary as your father. I didn't expect that you have become a leader in the city. When others come to the village to do business, your uncle will entertain them as he should. When you come to the village to do business, you must be treated as a family member. Don't go back to Taohua Bay at noon. Your uncle will make arrangements for you."

Hua Rendong wanted to say that it was not good to trouble others, but Xia Yu agreed first, "Then I will listen to you, uncle!"

Xu Tiezhu didn't know Xia Yu's identity, but Hua Rendong was a member of the Municipal Women's Federation. Since he could come to work with them, he must be a leader in the city. So he asked curiously, "Are there men in the Women's Federation?"

"Puff!" While Xia Yu was petrified, Hua Rendong laughed out loud, "Uncle, he is the educated youth I borrowed from Taohua Bay, mainly to help me write and draw."

This time, when Xu Tiezhu looked at Xia Yu, his eyes were not as cautious as before. He even looked him up and down critically for several times before he said to Hua Rendong, "Uncle has to say a few words to you. Is there no educated youth in Xingzigou or what? Why do you need to borrow someone from your second uncle to find a helper? Isn't this embarrassing to your uncle? It's not that your uncle doesn't like to talk, but there are not many good educated youth in your second uncle's brigade. One of them is surnamed Shang and the other is surnamed Pei. They are simply a nuisance. If you hang out with them for a long time, how many good people will be left?"
