Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 20: Cannon Fodder Woman of the 1970s
Although the old lady said that the family's food rations originally included the three of them, and they were just bringing them to the city to eat, Lian Yanyan felt that this was not right, and planned to bring back some things that were hard to buy in the countryside for her second aunt.
The next day at work, after having lunch in the cafeteria, Lian Yanyan deliberately strolled around outside for a while and happened to run into Mo Yan, who was on patrol.
"I have something I'd like to ask you," Lian Yanyan said directly without any politeness.
"What is it?" Mo Yan was completely unaware that the corners of his mouth had turned up slightly.
"We'd like to buy some coal for the family, do you have any connections?" Actually, it doesn't really matter whether we buy it or not; we can manage by scraping together what we have. But we have to start somewhere.
Mo Yan really has connections; he has a wide circle of friends: "Yes, there are some that aren't very good quality, but are cheap and don't require tickets; there are also some that are good quality, but require tickets and are limited in quantity."
"How bad is it?"
"The coal base is basically all powder, so you need to mix it with water before using it."
"Okay, I'll take some." The original owner had this in his memories. First, use something else to light the stove, then seal the mixed, damp coal briquettes on top. Once the coal briquettes are red-hot, they are still quite warm. The downside is that it's rather troublesome, burns slowly, and someone has to keep an eye on the stove.
"Okay, I'll deliver it to your house tonight. Listen for the knocking." These things are swept out of the truck floor by the transport team. It's not considered personal business; it's the transport team generating revenue for their own unit. But it's not something that can be done openly, so they only pick them up at night.
"Okay, thank you."
"They're all colleagues."
"Do you help every colleague this much?"
"Of course not, this is the first time I'm buying it for my colleagues at the factory."
"Oh, then I'll thank you again." Lian Yanyan turned and walked towards the office building. After a few steps, she looked back and saw that the man seemed to have been standing still the whole time.
Lian Yanyan didn't say anything, just smiled and turned to continue walking, never looking back.
To be honest, Mo Yan is quite good-looking. She had also learned a bit about him recently. It is said that his parents had passed away and he had no elders in his family. He was a demobilized soldier who was assigned to the security department of the factory. He was very popular and had a wide circle of friends. He certainly had the qualities to succeed in business after the reform and opening up. Moreover, in the known plot, he had relatives who did big business overseas. It's just a mystery how he managed to keep it a secret from them.
When she first arrived, her plan was to implicate Mo Yan, Lin Feng's powerful backer, as well. However, after calming down, she realized that it was too difficult to implement in practice. Lin Feng was a lucky and shrewd person. If Mo Yan were added to the mix, her chances of winning against him would be too slim. Even if she risked her life, the best outcome would be mutual destruction. Moreover, the original owner's mission was to get married and have children normally, and stay away from Wu Qingya and the Lin family.
When she first met Mo Yan, she changed her plans. It could be said that she was attracted to his looks. Anyway, she was going to get married and have children, so it didn't matter who she married.
Looking at it today, the success rate of this plan is quite high.
When Lian Yanyan got home from get off work that evening, she went into the kitchen, and Lian Sanzhu once again brought his mother out of the kitchen.
Because it was a last-minute decision and the family wasn't prepared, when she cooked for Sun Dong and his wife yesterday, there were two small tomatoes left. She cracked some eggs and made a tomato and egg stir-fry, and also stir-fried some potato slices with chili peppers. After finishing, she took out two lunchboxes, put half of each dish into the lunchboxes, and then put the separately cooked rice into them and kept them warm in hot water.
The remaining half of the dishes were served, and the four members of the Lian family ate dinner with a mixture of sorghum rice and regular rice cooked by Lian Nai.
"Yanzi, what are you doing again? You've come back from a long day at work, so just rest. Grandma can cook." The old lady carefully advised, looking at the oil stains in the vegetables.
"Grandma, I asked a colleague to buy some coal ash. He'll bring it over tonight. He probably won't have time to eat tonight, so I'm making some in advance," Lian Yanyan explained. Actually, her cooking skills were just average. Compared to Grandma Lian, she was more generous with the oil. Like the dishes she served Sun Dong and his wife yesterday, the old lady had put a lot of thought into them, but for Lian Yanyan, they were still a bit bland.
"Buying coal? That's so expensive!"
"It's alright, coal isn't expensive. Don't be stingy with it during the day when you're at home. If you get frostbite, you'll need injections and medicine."
Grandpa Lian picked up a potato slice with his chopsticks and said, "That's only right, Yanzi's cooking is better."
Around 9 p.m., Mo Yan arrived at the Lian family's gate on a tricycle with another person. After knocking lightly twice, Lian Sanzhu opened the door from the inside.
The tricycle was carrying several sacks of coal. Lian Sanzhu helped move the tricycle into the yard and then unloaded the sacks into the woodshed. Lian said softly, "Thank you, comrade. It's so late at night. Come in and have some hot water."
"No need, old man, we're in a hurry to get back," Mo Yan said politely.
Lian Yanyan used a net bag to take out the lunchbox: "I was worried you wouldn't have time to eat tonight, so I made two home-style dishes. Here you go."
Mo Yan did not refuse and took the net. There was no moon tonight, and in the dim light coming from the main room, the girl with her hair down exuded an indescribable gentleness and tranquility. Mo Yan tightened his grip on the net.
"Thank you for being so thoughtful. I really haven't had time to eat yet."
Zhou Nan, who came with him to deliver the goods, hesitated before speaking. Yan Ge said he hadn't eaten? Who ate those three bowls of rice he ate at his own home that night?
"That's perfect. I've been keeping it warm in the pot. It'll get cold tonight, so go back and eat."
"it is good."
Zhou Nan trembled inexplicably. Could Yan-ge's voice be so gentle? He carefully examined the girl opposite him, but she was backlit and he couldn't see her clearly.
Leaving the Lian family's courtyard, Zhou Nan couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Yan, is that your future sister-in-law?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm several years older than her." Age was indeed a point of hesitation for him; he was 25 years old, while Lian Yanyan was only 18.
"Brother Yan, your situation is special." Zhou Nan knows Mo Yan well. He joined the army at the age of 18 and had a girlfriend while in the army. However, Brother Yan was injured on the battlefield and had to be discharged after recovering. The woman broke up with Brother Yan, which is why he was delayed until this age.
"That's my own special situation, it has nothing to do with other people. The actual situation is that I'm seven years older than them." Mo Yan sat on the tricycle, holding onto the side with one hand and tightly hugging the lunchbox in the net bag with the other.
