Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

After filling out the form and handing it to Section Chief Li, Lian Yanyan left the records room with her uncle. Qiu Jing offered to see her off, and as they reached the corner, she whispered, "Yanzi, your dad used to say things about your uncle... does the factory know?"

"I know. His condition isn't as serious as my dad said. He's just a little simple-minded, but he can still handle cleaning and tidying up. I just saw the deputy factory director," Lian Yanyan explained.

"That's good, that's good. How's everything at home? After your father's incident, your uncle came to see you, but your mother wouldn't let him in," Qiu Jing said through gritted teeth.

Wu Qingya not only refused to let him in, but also said some extremely nasty things, such as, "What are you doing here when someone's dead? There are two women at home, a widow and her child, what are you doing here, a grown man?" He was so angry that he turned around and went home, and didn't dare to go back, for fear of being bitten by Wu Qingya.

Ever since Lian Dazhu married Wu Qingya, Qiu Jing and her husband have looked down on her. Wu Qingya is arrogant and always looks down on people. In the past few years, when the situation was tense, she didn't dare to speak out of turn, but every time they met, she would look down on them as lowly people. Later, when Lian Dazhu met his fellow disciples again, he only brought Lian Yanyan with him.

"It's fine. My mom left a few days ago. It seems she went to find her ex-husband. I didn't dare to live at home by myself, so I brought my grandparents and uncle here." This uncle and aunt later left the city. Before leaving, they tried their best to see the original owner. At that time, the original owner had just been coaxed by her biological mother to give up her job to Lin Feng. It was a time when the original owner was being treated very well. The uncle and aunt both advised her to think about her own future. The original owner felt that her uncle, who was not related by blood, was not as good as her biological mother. She gave a few perfunctory words and did not listen to their advice.

"What? She can't stay still for even a moment? It's only been a few days! She..." Qiu Jing's voice rose with anger. Facing the innocent-looking girl in front of her, she swallowed the lewd words that followed and took a deep breath: "Yanzi, go take care of your business first. I'll go see the old man with your uncle tonight."

There were two clerks and a section chief in the logistics department office. Lian Yanyan asked her uncle to give the approval slip signed by the deputy factory director to the section chief.

"Director Xiao, this is... this is Lian Sanzhu."

The logistics department had already received news that a new employee was joining the company. They were wondering why a new person had suddenly appeared. In principle, the logistics department was not short of staff. Director Xiao immediately understood the new person's background from the name.

"Lian Dazhu's relatives."

"Yes, that's my older brother."

Following the same process, Lian Sanzhu had attended school, but only graduated from junior high school. Lian Ye was very wise in this regard, saving every penny to send his children to school. Lian Dazhu, on the other hand, attended the old-fashioned private school.

After filling out the form, Lian Sanzhu handed it to Section Chief Xiao. Then, at his niece's prompting, he took out some White Rabbit candies from his bag and gave a few to everyone.

"I'm not very bright, so from now on, I'll have to rely on everyone to take care of me." He wasn't very bright to begin with, and he was nervous. Even though Yan Yan had been teaching him the whole way, she only taught him this one sentence, and he said it haltingly.

"What are you doing? We don't do this here." Section Chief Xiao pushed the candy away.

"Section Chief Xiao, it's just two candies to sweeten everyone's mouths, it's not a big gift. My uncle is a bit slow to learn, so please be patient with him when you teach him to do things. He's strong and doesn't pick and choose his work," Lian Yanyan said politely as she stepped forward.

"You must be Lian Gong's daughter. Here, take this candy back with you."

"There's still some at home. Besides, I'm not in the mood for this right now. I'll be working with my uncle from tomorrow. I'll be in the records room. Aunts and uncles, it's just a few pieces of candy, take it."

"Lian Gong, what a pity! Please accept my condolences."

"Thank you, Section Chief Xiao. My family is thinking of buying a single bed for my uncle. Does the logistics department have any?"

"They should have it; go ask at the warehouse."

Lian Yanyan asked her uncle to wait downstairs for a while, and then went upstairs to find Deputy Factory Director Wang. She took out the pension money that was temporarily stored with him. This money could not be touched; it was very important for her future plans.

In those days, large factories practically covered all aspects of their employees' lives, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. For example, the logistics department had several carpenters who made furniture. When employees needed furniture, they could buy it directly from the logistics department at a cheaper price without needing receipts. They would also collect some second-hand furniture from employees, repair it, and then resell it, which was even cheaper.

Lian Yanyan and her uncle chose a single wooden bed. After paying, Lian Sanzhu happily carried it on his shoulder and left. He had always slept on the same kang (a heated brick bed) with his parents. Now, although they were still in the same room, at least he could sleep alone in a bed.

"My grandparents used to sleep on a heated kang bed at home. I wonder if it will be cold sleeping in a bed in the city."

"I'm not cold, I'm not cold." Uncle Lian happily bounced on the bed.

They live in a place that isn't in the far north; the coldest winter temperatures are only around minus ten degrees Celsius. If they light a stove, young people won't feel cold, but older people might.

"I'll take the bed home in a bit, then you come with me to buy groceries."

"it is good."

After arriving home, we put my uncle's bed in the master bedroom. There were old single bed sheets and bedding that Lian Yanyan used to have. Lian Dazhu dotes on his daughter, so he just replaced the sheets and bedding when they got a little worn out. The color of the sheets was a bit bright, probably the most eye-catching color you could find on the market.

"Once my uncle gets his salary, he'll buy a piece of cloth and replace this bedsheet."

"No need, why change it when it's perfectly fine? It's good as it is," Grandma Lian refused.

Lian Yanyan didn't continue the topic. Sometimes, actions speak louder than words: "Uncle, let's go. I'll take you out to buy groceries."

"Let your grandpa come along too. When you're at work, he'll be idle at home, so let him go buy groceries. It's really expensive in the city; even vegetable scraps cost money. There's some space in the yard, so we can plant some next year."

Lian Yanyan didn't reply. She took the father and son out the door. As long as they didn't cross her bottom line, she was too lazy to care. Besides, some people in the family compound had started growing vegetables in the past two years. It was quite convenient to grow some vegetables for their own consumption in the yard.

"Grandpa, Uncle, this is the nearest service center. You can buy grains, oils, vegetables, meat and other things here. There's another state-run store around the corner after crossing this street. They have a wider selection of things there."

The three of them strolled to a state-run store, bought some cabbage and lard, toothpaste and toothbrushes for themselves, and a hot water bottle. Lian Yanyan paid for it with the ration coupons.

After they came out, the old man asked, "This meat and vegetable dish is for eating. I've seen toothpaste and toothbrushes in advertisements; they're for brushing teeth. What's that?"

Many rural people in this era do not have the habit of brushing their teeth.

"Grandpa, this is a hot water bottle. Fill it with hot water before you go to bed at night and put it in your bed so you and Grandma won't get cold. The bed at home isn't as warm as the kang (heated brick bed) in the countryside."
