1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

"Wen Zhiqing seems to know this place very well?" Li Lingling asked casually as she picked up chestnuts from the ground.

"When I first arrived, I wasn't familiar with the paths on the back mountain and accidentally got lost and ended up here. Later, I discovered that there are very few wild animals here, so I came in twice more to collect firewood!"

Li Lingling exclaimed, "You're really brave! I've been working in the countryside for two years now, and I wouldn't dare come in without someone with me!"

Wen Li pretended not to notice her probing, thinking to herself, "Is it appropriate for a spy like you to tell me I'm timid?" But she didn't show it on her face.

"Hehe, I've practiced military boxing, so I'm a bit braver than the average girl. If I encounter a large wild animal, I can definitely run away!"

"I heard from Guo, the educated youth, that you were spoiled at home, but I never imagined you could endure so much hardship. It seems Guo's words weren't reliable!"

"I wouldn't say I was spoiled. I was in poor health when I was little, and my family did care about me a bit. But I'm not the type to endure hardship, so I only learned a little bit of basic fitness techniques!"

Li Lingling probed for a while, but got nothing out of it. Wen Li was very discreet and worried that asking too many questions would expose her, so she simply changed the subject.

The two filled their baskets before returning to rejoin the others. It was almost afternoon when the team leader told everyone to go down the mountain to distribute the wild boar meat, and continue the next day.

After hunting two wild boars, the smiles on everyone's faces never faded as they descended the mountain.

Chen Yan and Qi Jun finally found Wen Li, and she just kept talking nonstop.

Everyone went back to put their things away first, and then went to the grain drying yard to distribute the wild boar meat. The two wild boars today weighed about 600 jin in total. According to the number of people in each family, the educated youth compound received 30 jin.

Each person gets a little over a pound.

After receiving her share, Wen Li went straight back to the backyard.

When I passed by Lu Zechuan's door, it was still closed, so it seemed that the note must have recorded some important clues.

Having completed her task, she suppressed her curiosity and went back to her room to start preparing the chestnuts.

The chestnuts were picked up still in their shells. She poured them into a basket, carried the basket to the doorway, and since the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, Wenli sat down right there and started peeling them.

A whole basket full of chestnuts, after shelling, only a dozen or so pounds of chestnuts remained.

Looks like I'll have to work harder tomorrow, otherwise all of this won't be enough for her to make by herself!

Chen Yan and Qi Jun returned after watching the commotion. "Xiao Li, how did you get ready so quickly?"

"Take yours out, I'll help you!"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Yan gestured for Qi Jun to carry the basket over.

Chen Yan was busy chatting with the aunties on the mountain, and she only filled half a basket, while Qi Jun's basket was full.

It took the three of them almost an hour to get all the chestnuts out.

"I heard from Aunt Zhang that Guo Caixia seems to be pregnant!"

"Cough cough cough~" Wen Li almost choked on her saliva. "Are you serious?"

Chen Yan nodded repeatedly, "When we were on the mountain, everyone saw her vomiting. Aunt Zhang said she looked like she was pregnant. They also went to Old Man Wu's place just now. We'll know if it's true when they come back!"

Wen Li's expression was complicated. This male lead was not only unclean, but he also got another woman pregnant. Could he still be considered a male lead?

"That's great! She should be very happy right now!"

"You bet you were so cocky on the mountain today!" Chen Yan even mimicked Guo Caixia's affected manner of clutching her stomach and pacing back and forth, almost making Wen Li choke on her saliva again.

A short while later, everyone saw Guo Caixia holding her stomach with one hand, following behind Jiang Chen, who had a gloomy face.

"Ah Chen, slow down, I can't walk anymore!"

Jiang Chen's temples bulged with veins, and his fingers clenched tightly. How could someone like Guo Caixia be worthy of giving birth to his child?

Thinking of how heartbroken Jiang Yue'er was when she heard that Guo Caixia was pregnant, his heart ached so much he could hardly breathe.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his expression unusually kind, and his tone wasn't as cold as before. "You've had a long day, and you're pregnant, so go home and rest!"

This was the first time Guo Caixia had received Jiang Chen's care. The gloom that had been hanging over her for some time gradually dissipated, and she felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

"Okay~"

Chen Yan looked at the two of them and kept giving Wen Li meaningful glances, it seemed that the pregnancy was confirmed.

Wen Li glanced at Jiang Chenshan. This man was no good. Guo Caixia's pregnancy might not be a good thing!

As darkness fell, Wen Li had Qi Jun kill the rabbit, and the three of them would eat rabbit meat that night. As for the wild boar meat, they were mostly given lean meat. Wen Li didn't like lean meat, so she put it in her spatial storage to eat next time.

The next day, Wen Li went to the back mountain to pick chestnuts. She picked quite a lot. Occasionally, when she was putting the chestnuts down, she would secretly put a lot into her space under the cover of her basket. It can be said that she had a very fruitful harvest.

The gathering of wild produce lasted for three days, and Wenli's space was filled with chestnuts and pine nuts. It was the season for wild fruits to ripen, and many wild pears and hawthorns on the back mountain were ripe. Since she had pear trees in her space, she only picked some hawthorns.

After three days, everyone had a good harvest. Wenli shelled all the chestnuts and piled them up in her storage space, planning to take them out and stir-fry them when she had free time, so they could eat them to pass the time during the winter.

The grapes and watermelons in the space were ripe. She picked a grape and tasted it. The sweet and sour taste filled her mouth. The grape was not too sweet and had a little bit of sourness, which was the taste she liked.

After tasting the grapes, she went to the melon field to take a look. The watermelons were big and round, each weighing more than ten pounds. She picked one at random, took a knife and cut it open. The unique fragrance of watermelon made Wen Li almost drool.

There aren't many varieties of watermelon nowadays, and most of them have thick skin and black seeds. Wenli cut off a piece to taste it, and the flesh was sweet and crisp. She couldn't resist eating too much, and she exclaimed while holding her stomach that it was so delicious.

After resting for a while, she picked the ripe watermelons and grapes one by one and put them into a cloth bag.

The next day, just as dawn broke, she rode her bicycle to the commune, put her things away in the yard, and then changed her clothes to go to the black market.

After changing her clothes, the third brother guarding the door didn't recognize her at first.

"Buy or sell?"

Wen Li was quite satisfied with the result when she saw that the third brother did not recognize her. It seemed that her skills were quite good. If the third brother could not recognize her, then no one else could.

"Third sister, it's me, Zhang Cuihua!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the third brother's attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

"Auntie, it's you! Come quickly, come with me. The eldest son knew you were coming back today, so he specially asked me to wait here!"

Wen Li followed the third brother to Gu Huai's courtyard.
