The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character in a Period Drama

Zhou Heng transmigrates into a period drama as a cannon fodder female supporting character who shares her name. In the story, the female supporting character is infatuated with the male lead, const...

Chapter 52 She felt that she could indeed. …

Zhou Xian frowned and asked, "Will this change lead to Hong Mei's career failure in the end?"

She still remembered that in the original text, Yang Hongmei opened her own factory.

"No, her aura as a protagonist has not disappeared, but the way she succeeded may be different from what is described in the book."

Zhou Xian didn't ask any more questions, but he heard Director Ji talking over there.

"In the final analysis, it's because we're not strong enough. If we behave ourselves for a while, we'll be exposed." Director Ji became furious when he talked about this.

She thought that it would be great if there was a complete solution, but she knew in her heart that this was unlikely.

Zhou Xian paused and said, "It's just that the stick didn't fall on me, so I didn't feel the pain, so I wasn't honest."

"Xiao Zhou, do you have any ideas?" Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian and said with a smile, "You are a young man with a sharp mind. If you really have any ideas, please tell me."

"There's really no solution, and we can't make the decision on this matter."

Director Ji wanted to know this method even more.

"Xiao Zhou, tell me what the solution is. If it's feasible, let's think of a solution together."

When he returned to the commune, Zhou Xian took out a piece of newspaper from the stack of newspapers he brought with him to work and placed it in front of Director Ji.

"This is?"

Looking at the headlines in the newspaper, Director Ji looked at Zhou Xian again.

Without her asking, Zhou Xian took the initiative to speak, "This is a report about our country's plastic greenhouses. I was wondering if our commune could also introduce this technology."

Zhou Xian saw this in the newspaper when he went to the scrap collection station. He bought it and kept it. Now it comes in handy. The country is also encouraging everyone to try this technology.

She had a vague idea in her mind at the time. After thinking about it for a few days, she already had a template and all she had to do was fill in the framework.

Of course, with her current abilities, she definitely can’t fill in the framework, and she still has to rely on her leadership.

Director Ji didn't understand what she meant, "What does this have to do with our Women's Federation?"

"Director Ji, this does not seem to matter, but what if there are conditions after the introduction?"

Zhou Xian said directly, "If we apply for this technology and use the greenhouse to grow off-season vegetables, it means that the team below can earn more income. And this is also a job. When recruiting workers, we must also make it clear that this is led by our Women's Federation. Those who have persecuted women and children and whose circumstances are serious are not included in our recruitment scope."

Director Ji understood, "What you are thinking about does make sense."

Those people will be very upset if the benefits they have now are gone.

"But how can we ensure that greenhouse vegetables can be successfully grown in a greenhouse?"

Zhou Xian continued, "In order to contribute to our work, I will be responsible for persuading the cadres of Taohua Brigade to try putting the plastic greenhouse in the brigade first. If it works, we will expand the scale and promote it to other brigades. If it doesn't work, just pretend I never said anything."

Having said that, Zhou Xian was thinking that this matter must be accomplished.

"What good will this do? If the greenhouse vegetables fail to grow successfully, it will be a loss for your team."

"Director Ji, everything will have good and bad results. We can't be afraid to try just because we are worried about the bad results."

Director Ji did not agree immediately, but waved his hand and said, "Let's stop here today. You guys go back first, I'll think about it."

Zhou Xian didn't try to persuade him any further. If this method didn't work, he would think of other ways.

However, the two brothers of the Yang family have been sent to a labor reform farm after discussion with the commune leaders.

The original plan was to separate the two brothers and let them receive labor reform education. Zhou Xian felt that these two brothers did not look like generous people. Yang Lianwu had some brains, but Yang Lianwen did not.

It is difficult to lead a teammate who is not good enough. The possibility of unity is too small. When they are together every day, they will think of this matter. When the time comes, they will blame each other and cause trouble, and the time of labor reform will be longer.

The Yang family couldn't accept it, but they didn't dare to say anything, for fear that they would be implicated in this matter.

As for Hongmei, if she works harder at the Women's Federation, the remaining people in the Yang family will naturally not dare to cause trouble for her.

After leaving the commune gate and waiting for Secretary Li to turn around and walk home, Secretary Chen walked towards Zhou Xian.

"What are you thinking? No one in the Taohua Brigade or even our commune has ever built a plastic greenhouse. We know nothing about it. If it fails, the people in the brigade will definitely blame you."

"Aunt, if it succeeds, they will have to thank me."

Secretary Chen sighed, "Your idea is not bad, but you can't just decide it like this. Go back and talk to your father and listen to his opinion, okay?"

"Got it, I'll tell my dad."

Zhou Xian rode on his bicycle and waved to Secretary Chen, "Aunt, I'm going home now."

"Go slowly on the road."

Watching Zhou Xian's back as he left, Secretary Chen also went home with a heavy heart.

Zhou Xian was not idle on the way back. She asked Tongzi to prepare some information about plastic greenhouses for her, especially the things that need attention.

It would be best if there were also methods for growing off-season greenhouse vegetables; she needed detailed information.

Since she brought it up, she must be aiming for success.

If she was concerned about the consequences of failure and loss, she would not have raised this question in the first place.

So after returning home, Zhou Xian went to talk to her father Zhou Jiefang about this matter.

She went back to the house first, took out the book she had bought from the scrap collection station, and replaced all the vegetable cultivation methods that Tongzi had found in it.

These methods are all adapted for this era, and if implemented accordingly, there will be no problem at all.

Zhou Xian took the book and found her father.

"Plastic greenhouse?" Zhou Jiefang was flipping through the book with the cover falling off.

Although he is the team leader, he also has to work in the fields. It can be seen that the book is full of practical information. The person who wrote this book must have a lot of experience in working in the fields.

"But what does this have to do with plastic greenhouses?"

"Dad, I bought this book at the scrapyard along with the textbooks. I thought it was just a random book, but it turned out not to be. If the commune really applies for a plastic greenhouse, we should get it."

Zhou Jiefang glanced at his daughter and said, "You are my daughter, and you are laughing when talking to me."

Zhou Xian then said, "I actually suggested to the leaders that we install the plastic greenhouse in our brigade. If this is successful, the leaders of the commune will remember the good things of our Taohua Brigade in the future."

"What if it fails?"

"Those were tough years, but we all made it through. Are you afraid of failure when growing vegetables now?"

"Don't give me that." Zhou Jiefang knocked his pipe on the table.

He really didn't expect that his daughter was so capable that she even brought it to the plastic greenhouse.

I also suggested to my leader that we should be able to go to heaven after just a short period of time in the workplace.

He had never even seen a plastic greenhouse.

But his daughter was right about one thing. If these greenhouse vegetables were really successful, their Taohua Brigade in Baihua Commune would definitely have a name.

He did not refuse outright, but only said, "Let's wait and see what the leader says first. If the leader does not agree, no matter how much we say, it will be useless."

Seeing that his father did not refuse outright, Zhou Xian felt relieved.

Director Ji also considered it for several days before giving a reply.

She felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, but this matter could not be handled by their Women's Federation. After all, the plastic greenhouse was not just the Women's Federation's business, but was related to the entire commune.

They can't just ignore the commune leaders and work on their own. If they do that, they will be deliberately making the leaders unhappy.

Therefore, Secretary He has to step in on this matter.

As for the task of persuading Secretary He, it naturally fell on Secretary Li.

Secretary Li was quite nervous after accepting the task. Director Ji often said that she was a freeloader, although she also thought so herself. In fact, her family also thinks so. Her mother even complained that the job arranged for her by her uncle was too tiring recently.

But recently, because of Hongmei's incident, Secretary Li was praised by his uncle.

This also has her contribution, although it is not much, but my uncle still praised her for finally coming to terms with it and deciding to do something practical for everyone.

Even Director Ji praised her, which made Secretary Li feel strange.

She felt that she could.

Secretary Zhou was quite discerning and could tell at first glance that she had the ability.

But when she thought about mentioning this to her uncle, she was still a little nervous, afraid that she would mess it up.

At the critical moment, Zhou Xian was still reliable. She took the initiative to discuss a reliable plan with everyone, and then she handed it over to her uncle to apply for a plastic greenhouse in the name of Baihua Commune.

Before getting the plan, Secretary Li read it carefully many times before he mustered up the courage to go see Secretary He.

No matter what, she had to complete this mission.

Secretary He was not so optimistic.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with the Women's Federation. It is meddling too much. Other people in the commune will also have opinions when they see it.

So Secretary He just took a look and gave up their plan.

Secretary Li immediately became anxious. "Uncle, if our Women's Federation did it directly, we would admit that we were meddling in other people's business, but we came to you. Besides, this is also for the development of our commune. Didn't you always say that you wanted to further develop our commune?"

With an uncle who is the secretary, Secretary Li is just a little lazy but not stupid.

Their Baihua Commune can only be considered mediocre in the entire county.

But the more this is the case, the less they should be valued. After all, there are communes with good performance that the leaders will notice, and there are poor communes below that the leaders will worry about.

It was inevitable that they could not take care of their commune, which was neither outstanding nor poor.

The life of the members of Baihua Commune was not difficult, and they were not the kind of people who would let the members go hungry and cold just to worry the leaders. If that were the case, the leaders would hold them accountable without them having to think about it.

Secretary He has tried before to make the commune stand out. He also wants the leaders to notice him. He is not too old, so it is not impossible for him to move up.

Seeing Secretary He's frown relax, Secretary Li added fuel to the fire, "Uncle, how do we know it won't work if we don't try it? Don't you think so?"

Secretary He glanced at his niece, thought for a while, and then nodded.

"You go back first, I'll think about it."

I have seen my niece grow up, so I have some idea of ​​what she is like. She said this in a very coherent way, which must have been discussed with the Women's Federation.

Secretary Li wanted to say more, but Secretary He simply dismissed her, looking as if he didn't want to hear more from her.

However, knowing that there was hope, Secretary Li did not stay any longer and went back to tell everyone.

She has really tried her best. If it doesn't work, you can't blame her.

Director Ji patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You did your best."

In fact, Director Ji could have gone directly to the county town to ask her brother-in-law for help and gotten things done. However, she was the director of the Women's Federation of Baihua Commune, and it would be difficult for her to go without the leadership of the commune. By then, no matter whether the matter was done well or not, she would not have a good reputation, and people would think that she was overreaching.

Anyway, Secretary He still needs to reconsider it, which means there is a chance, otherwise he would have just rejected it outright.

They waited patiently, and during this period, they also took time to visit Yang Hongmei in Yanghua Brigade.

After they made their attitude clear, the cadres of the Yanghua Brigade naturally took great care of Hongmei.

Other members of the Yang family would still look at Hongmei with disdain, but Hongmei didn't care at all. Although she started school a few months late, she had learned a few words in order to survive in her previous life.

She lives alone now, and after school, she still studies hard in the house.

In her new life, although she has not completely gotten rid of her family, her current situation is much better than in her previous life.

She also took time to visit her mother.

After she was taken back and remarried, still in Baihua Commune, the husband was a man whose wife had died and they had three children. After her mother remarried, she gave birth to another son.

Hongmei received ten yuan from Captain Wu and planned to give it to her.

Before her mother was taken back, she secretly gave her two dollars, but the money was later discovered by Hongyan from her uncle's family and revealed. They turned the tables on her, falsely accused her of stealing the money, and beat her up.

It happened two lifetimes ago and the injury she sustained has healed, but she can't forget the Yang family's attitude towards her.

Studying hard is to free yourself from the fate of your previous life.

Knowing that she was living a good life now, Hongmei's mother stared at her for a long time and then stuffed the money back.

"Go away and don't come again. From now on, just pretend you don't have me as your mother."

As she said that, Hongmei's mother pushed her out of the yard, closed the door and went into the house.

Hongmei stood at the door and vaguely heard a child crying from inside the house. She listened for a while, clenched the money in her hand, and turned back.

The current Yang family members didn't dare to order her around like they did in her previous life, but when they saw her, they would still criticize her indirectly and not leave any food for her, saying that she was now open-minded and had money in her hands, so she would definitely not starve.

Compared to her previous life, these were nothing to her.

When she saw Zhou Xian, she could even smile happily. She liked Sister Zhou very much and would tell her about school things and read to her the words she knew.

Sister Zhou would also listen patiently and correct her mistakes.

Secretary Li was also a very nice person. She asked the team leader to help her rebuild a stove and got her a clay pot so that she could cook for herself first.

They also bought themselves egg cakes and fruit candies and asked her to put them away and eat some when she was hungry.

Hongmei naturally didn't want to take it for free. She already had money, so how could she let them pay for it? She said she would give them the money no matter what.

She even thought about it and decided to save some money at the Women's Federation. It was inconvenient for her to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, so she hoped that Zhou Xian and the others would buy some things from the supply and marketing cooperative and bring them over when they came next time.

Since we have everything to start over again, we should naturally be nicer to ourselves.

Secretary Li touched Hongmei's head and agreed to her request.
