Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 24: Cannon Fodder Woman of the 1970s
That evening, when Mo Yan was leaving get off work, he waited at a corner and saw Lian Yanyan say a few words to her uncle, then ignore the crowd of people leaving get off work and walked resolutely toward him.
"Were you waiting for me?" Lian Yanyan asked bluntly.
"Um, there's something I'd like to ask you."
"What happened this morning?" She had done all those things in the morning just for him to see, waiting for him to ask. She didn't expect him to be so eager, asking her as soon as she got off work.
"What happened to you this morning? Do you know those people?"
"Are they your friends? Don't they have to work on Mondays?"
"Some of them are from the transport team. They've been on long-distance trips and will have some rest time, so they won't have a normal weekend off. There are also a few who just came back from the countryside and don't have work for the time being."
"Back from the countryside?"
"Sent-down youth"
Without hesitation, Lian Yanyan said directly, "There's someone named Lin Feng, right? I hate him."
"He just came back from a farm far away. Do you know him?"
"He is my mother's son from her previous marriage. The last time my face was swollen was because my mother wanted to bring her two sons to live in our house, and I disagreed."
"If you don't like him, I won't have any contact with him." Mo Yan readily agreed. Lin Feng, whom she didn't know very well, was naturally no match for the person in front of her.
"You just agreed like that?" Lian Yanyan probed.
"Didn't you dislike him? Besides, I'm not familiar with him. This morning, a comrade from my transport team brought him over, saying he's a flexible person and wanted me to get to know him."
"Won't this affect your social life?"
"No, life is about making choices, and he's not someone who's indispensable."
"Then who is?"
"My future wife," Mo Yan said with a smile.
Lian Yanyan looked up and suddenly asked directly, "You want to be my girlfriend?"
This startled Mo Yan, who paused for a few seconds before speaking, "If we're talking about confirming our relationship, shouldn't I be the one to go first?"
"Is there a difference? My grandma said, if you like someone, just ask them. If they're not interested, then give up and don't waste your time."
"Our grandma is quite magnanimous." Mo Yan thought for a moment before finally finding a suitable word to describe the old lady.
"Answer my question first."
"Yes, I wanted to take it slow, because I was afraid of scaring you." Who knew that the girl in front of me was so straightforward.
"Let's see how things go. I'm going home now." Lian Yanyan said, then turned and left gracefully.
Mo Yan stared dumbfounded at the girl who turned and left without a trace of lingering affection. Wait, is this the right procedure? She just said, "Let's see how things go?" Does that mean he already has a boyfriend? The process was so fast it was almost surreal, leaving him somewhat dazed.
Lian Yanyan didn't think anything of it. She was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner. She found her uncle waiting for her at the entrance of the alley and went straight home.
The next day at work, when she met Mo Yan at the door, Lian Yanyan went up to him, handed him a piece of candy, smiled, and went into work.
Grandpa Xie, standing next to Mo Yan, looked inquisitively at the candy in his hand: "What's this?"
"Yeah, I have a boyfriend." Mo Yan clutched the candy in his hand, smiling sweetly, and finally felt a sense of reality. Last night, he had been in a very dazed state.
"That's good, you should settle down now."
"Yes, you're absolutely right." However, he couldn't let the woman keep the initiative forever, Mo Yan thought to himself, clutching the candy and making a plan.
Lian Yanyan went straight to Qiu Jing as soon as she entered the office.
"From the security department? The one I ran into at the clinic last time?"
"right."
"Looks considerably older than you, doesn't he?"
"I'm 25 years old and a retired soldier."
"Never been in a relationship before?" That's unusual for someone your age.
"I don't know, I haven't had a chance to ask yet," Lian Yanyan said straightforwardly.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime matter, how can we be careless? Wait a bit before announcing it, your aunt will go and inquire for you."
"Oh." Anyway, she didn't hide her behavior last night and this morning; she could probably tell what was going on.
Qiu Jing has been working in the factory for many years and is still working in the data room. It's easy for her to find out about someone. She even asked the section chief for help.
When she got off work, Lian Yanyan saw Mo Yan in the same spot. She walked over to him as usual and asked, "Have you been working the night shift all week?"
"Um, you..."
"Oh, by the way, I told my aunt, and she said she wanted to find out more about you."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being asked."
"That's good. Is there anything else? If not, I'm going home. I'm hungry," Lian Yanyan said frankly.
"How about we go to the state-run restaurant? They have the master chef's signature stir-fried chicken today."
Lian Yanyan unconsciously swallowed. There were many things about this era that she found difficult to adapt to, the most difficult being the scarcity of food: "Wait a moment, I'll tell my uncle."
"it is good."
Lian Yanyan greeted her uncle who was waiting at the alley entrance, telling him to go home first, and then went to the state-run restaurant with Mo Yan.
The next day at work, Qiu Jing went into the office and discussed the information she had gathered with the section chief. Finally, she said to Lian Yanyan, "This Mo Yan is alright, except that he is older than you and doesn't have any elders in his family. However, some people say that he is willing to associate with some idle people in society. Your uncle should find out more about who those people are."
"Some are veterans from the transportation team, and some are educated youth who returned to the city for various reasons but are unemployed."
"He told you that?"
"Yes, I ate at a state-run restaurant yesterday."
"Your uncle will ask about other things as well. You should get to know him first. So far, things seem pretty good. I heard that quite a few people are introducing him to potential partners, but he hasn't gone to meet any of them. You should also pay attention to his temper and personality. He can't be the kind of person who throws tantrums easily, because that kind of person is prone to hitting people."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Mo Yan is indeed a person who can withstand scrutiny in all aspects. Gradually, Sun Dong and Qiu Jing became very supportive of their relationship. However, even Yan Yan has her own pace.
Time passed slowly until the end of 76. Due to the policy, there was no holiday for the Spring Festival in this era. However, normal families still had the festive atmosphere. For example, in the Lian family, Grandma Lian had her husband queue up every day to buy meat and candy in preparation for celebrating the Spring Festival in the city.
Two days before the Spring Festival, Mo Yan delivered a frozen fish weighing over 20 jin (approximately 10 kg), along with a piece of cured meat and a ham.
Lian Yanyan looked curiously at the items on the tricycle: "Where did you buy these?"
"I didn't buy them. This frozen fish was brought back by Zhou Nan from the transport team, and the cured meat and ham were sent to me by my comrades from other places."
Lian Nai said politely, "Xiao Mo, these are all meat dishes, valuable things. You can keep some, but take the rest home."
