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

Making a call now involves multiple transfers, which is quite troublesome. Wen Li waited a while and when she called again, a gentle female voice rang out.

"Hello, is this Xiaoli?"

When Wen Li heard the familiar voice, her eyes reddened. The original owner's mother's voice was exactly the same as her own mother's—equally gentle and pleasant.

"mom!"

Hearing her daughter's trembling voice, Song Yu felt a pang of heartache. "Oh! My darling, when did you arrive? How's the youth center? Are you settling in? Do you have enough money and ration coupons?"

A series of caring words came through the crackling receiver. Even though she knew it wasn't her mother from the modern world, tears still streamed down Wen Li's face. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound cheerful.

"Mom, I arrived in the village yesterday afternoon. The scenery is beautiful, and I even rode in an oxcart! The people at the youth center are very nice, and I have enough money and ration coupons, so don't worry!"

Wen Li patiently answered her mother's questions.

Song Yu sensed the relaxed tone in Wen Li's words and was finally relieved.

"That's good. Your grandparents have been very worried about you these past few days, and your father hasn't been sleeping well at all. Now that you're here, he can rest easy!"

"Please tell them I'm fine, I can take care of myself, don't worry about me. I'll come back to see you when I have a vacation!"

"Okay, the things I sent you should have arrived. Remember to pick them up when they arrive. Your uncle and his family also sent you some things, so don't forget!"

"Okay, Mom, I'll stop talking to you now. There are other people waiting! I'll write to you later!"

"Okay, don't overwork yourself in the countryside. If you need anything, just go find your Uncle Qin; he lives in the county town!"

"Okay, Mom, you and Dad also need to take care of yourselves!"

Wen Li hung up the phone and gently wiped away the tears on her face. The original owner's memories of her parents were very vague, so she couldn't know what her parents looked like.

But when she heard a voice that sounded exactly like her mother's, she instinctively knew it wasn't a coincidence!

However, there is still time. The original owner's parents had an accident two or three years later. She can't go back now, but she will definitely have to find an opportunity to go back in the future.

Chen Yan hesitated, but seeing Wen Li's still slightly red eyes, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Li, are you homesick?"

"Hmm, don't you miss home?"

"No!" Chen Yan shook her head directly.

Wen Li didn't think Chen Yan was lying, so she didn't ask any more questions. Every family has its own problems, and she didn't want to pry into other people's privacy.

She only made a few minutes on the phone, but it cost 2.6 yuan. Wen Li was astonished; phone bills were incredibly expensive back then.

When she went to pay the bill, Deng Wei was still writing furiously, while Su Hao scratched his head and looked at the letter in front of him, as if writing a letter was some kind of big problem.

"Hello comrade, my name is Wen Li. Do you have a package for me?"

"So you're Comrade Wen!" The postman looked at Wen Li with a strange expression. "Come with me!"

Wen Li followed over and was dumbfounded when she saw the five large packages on the ground.

"Look! They're all yours. I was just saying if you hadn't come to pick them up, I was going to notify the village. These packages are taking up so much space!"

Wen Li was stunned. How was she going to bring all this stuff back?

She went up and took a look. Three of them were sent by the original owner's mother, one by her uncle, and a slightly smaller one by her older brother.

"Um... comrade, do you accept deliveries here?"

"We only have bicycles here, we can't deliver them. You can try asking elsewhere!"

Chen Yan waited for Qi Jun to finish his phone call before coming over to pick up the package.

She had quite a few packages, three in total, but none were as extravagant as Wen Li's. Qi Jun also had two packages.

The three of them looked at each other, dumbfounded for a moment.

When Su Hao and the others arrived, each of them had two large packages, and the packages of the six of them piled up into a small mountain.

Wen Li: "Why don't we ask Grandpa Li? Let him use an oxcart to take us back first."

Qi Jun nodded, "That's the only way!"

"Comrade, let's leave it here for now and come back to pick it up later!"

The postman didn't give them a hard time. "Okay, go ahead. You can't carry all this back!"

The group arrived at the commune entrance again, where Grandpa Li was resting under a tree.

Deng Wei: "Uncle Li, we have quite a lot of things. Could you please help us take them back in an oxcart?"

"Sure, but the ox belongs to the state, so we can't let you go for free! It'll cost you one yuan for a round trip!"

The group exchanged glances, none of them objecting, and readily paid the money. "No problem!"

"You still want to buy things, right? I'll take them back to the brigade headquarters first, and you can pick them up there later!"

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

Once the oxcart was full, Grandpa Li swayed and walked away, and the group then headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Once inside the supply and marketing cooperative, everyone separated and bought what they needed.

Wen Li went straight to look at the iron pots, and the supply and marketing cooperative happened to have some in stock.

"A cast iron pot for twenty-four yuan plus five industrial coupons!"

Wen Li was speechless again; iron was really expensive in this era, but she still paid the money without hesitation.

After buying the iron pot, she caught a glimpse of the bicycle next to her out of the corner of her eye.

"Comrade, how much is this bicycle?"

When someone inquired about bicycles, the saleswoman kept typing without even lifting her eyelids. There was nothing she could do; many people had asked about the two women's bicycles in the supply and marketing cooperative, but no one had come to buy them. These two bicycles had been sitting there for almost a year.

"Two hundred and twenty, plus a bicycle ticket!"

Wen Li thought that the village was more than two hours away from the commune on foot, and an hour away by oxcart, and even then, she couldn't always get a ride in the oxcart every day.

Having a bicycle would be much more convenient. Even if she wanted to keep a low profile, she couldn't take those big packages back with her, so she might as well just do whatever made her happy!

"Okay! I'll take it!"

The saleswoman stopped what she was doing, finally deigning to look up. "Are you sure?"

Wen Lijian took out the bicycle ticket and said, "Confirmed!"

The sales clerk's face lit up. "Okay, I'll issue you the invoice right away!"

"Xiao Li, are you buying a bicycle?" Chen Yan noticed that Wen Li had been standing next to the bicycle for so long, so she came over to take a look and found that Wen Li was buying a bicycle.

"Yes, it's inconvenient to get around the village, so I'm thinking of buying a bicycle to make things easier!"

Chen Yan thought Wen Li made sense, and pointed to another 26-inch bicycle, "I'll take this one!"

The saleswoman stood up excitedly; she had cleared out both cars from the inventory in one go, and the manager would definitely praise her today!

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll issue you the invoice!"

The sales clerk wrote out the receipt, and the two went to pay.

"With this ticket, you can go to the police station to get it stamped!"

"Okay! Thank you, comrade!"
