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

After getting up, Wenli heated up a few steamed buns, cooked some porridge, and chopped up the kimchi. The brother and sister then ate their simple breakfast.

"What do you usually do at this time?"

"Everyone's staying home this winter, hardly going out at all. With Chinese New Year just a few days away, they're only now going out to buy New Year's goods. If you had come earlier, you probably wouldn't have seen a soul!"

"Hibernating in winter is fine too. Your parents were worried that if you went to the south, you'd have to work in the fields all year round, so they sent you to the north!"

"Indeed, the north is quite nice. I often go to the back mountain when I have free time, and I sometimes even find pheasants and rabbits!"

Wen Xu felt a pang of sadness, thinking that Wen Li was reluctant to spend money on meat. "Is the money and tickets I gave you not enough?"

Wen Li waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I have enough money. I was just bored and went for a stroll in the back mountain. Don't send me any more money after you receive your allowance. I have money on hand. You should save your money for getting married!"

Wen Xu raised his hand and tapped Wen Li's forehead. "I'm not in a hurry. Don't be stingy. Buy whatever you like. With so many people in our family earning money, supporting you is a piece of cake. If you don't have enough money, be sure to tell your older brother!"

"I have enough money. My parents gave me a thousand yuan when I went to the countryside. It's not good for me to carry too much money with me!"

"That's true. There are many people and suspicious eyes at the youth settlement, so it's really not suitable to carry too much money on you!"

"Yes, now that you've come to see me, do you still have time to go back and visit your parents?"

"I'll go back next time I have a holiday. They're doing well now, so don't worry about them!"

As the two were chatting, they heard a commotion outside. Wen Li went out and saw all the male educated youth gathered together, discussing going hunting in the back mountain.

Seeing this, Wen Xu immediately became interested. "Can I join?"

Su Hao immediately extended a warm invitation, "Come on, there's strength in numbers! Maybe we'll have enough meat for the New Year!"

Seeing that Wen Xu was going to the back mountain, Wen Li took out a kettle, filled it with diluted spiritual spring water, and prepared a few steamed buns for him.

"Brother, there are bears in the deep mountains, you mustn't go too far in!"

Chen Jiahao stepped forward with a smile, "Wen Zhiqing, don't worry, we know what we're doing!"

Although Chen Jiahao has many minor flaws, his character is generally good. He has been working in the countryside for many years and is familiar with the situation in the back mountains, so Wen Li is not too worried.

"This is my brother's first time here, and he doesn't know the way to the back of the mountain. Chen, I'd appreciate it if you could look after him!"

Wen Xu chuckled, "Are you treating your brother like a child?"

Wen Li warned with a stern face, "Don't take this lightly. There are not only bears in the back mountains, but also wolves and wild boars!"

"Okay, okay, I promise I'll stay with everyone and won't run off!"

Wen Li knew that Wen Xu wanted to test the results of last night, so she didn't say anything more and took out the wood-chopping knife from the house and handed it to him.

After they left, Wen Li and Chen Yan were just about to go back to their room to warm themselves by the fire when Liu Xiu and Li Hong came to visit.

At first, Wen Li didn't think much of it, but Li Hong and Liu Xiu kept asking her about Wen Xu, which made her both amused and exasperated.

It seems my older brother is still quite sought after.

Logically speaking, Lu Zechuan is even more handsome than Wen Xu and should be more popular. For some reason, although a few girls in the village like him, not many people pay attention to him.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen, even though he is already married, still has many girls who like him.

Is it because the male lead has a halo that everyone else is overshadowed?

Whenever Li Hong and Liu Xiu asked, Wen Li would deliberately change the subject. She wouldn't interfere with who her brother would marry in the future, but Wen Xu would only stay here for three or four days. Although marriages are often rushed these days, it's still necessary for them to get to know each other better.

What can you learn in three or four days? Absolutely nothing!

Perhaps sensing Wen Li's intentions, both of them looked rather unpleasant, and their words carried a hint of resentment.

Wen Li was speechless. Now she felt that these two people were a bit clueless.

After they left, Chen Yan began to complain.

"I remember Li Zhiqing was several years older than your brother, right?"

"Actually, it's not so bad. My brother is twenty-two this year, only three years older, not that much. I just don't like their attitude. Besides, my brother is leaving in a couple of days, there's no possibility between them!"

"Yeah, but with your brother's looks, he probably wouldn't even look at either of them!"

"I don't know about that. I haven't seen my brother in almost four years, and I don't even know if he has a girl he likes now!"

Wen Li originally thought that everything would be fine once Li Hong and Liu Xiu came over, but after a day, several aunties from the village came to the educated youth compound to find Wen Li, all with the same purpose: to ask if Wen Xu had a boyfriend. Even a few girls who weren't very familiar with her came over to visit her.

She was only nodding acquaintances with those girls, so Wen Li could easily guess their purpose when they suddenly showed up.

After seeing everyone off, Wen Li still felt her head buzzing.

"What exactly did my brother do? Why are so many people coming to us all of a sudden?"

Li Xiangxiang looked at Wen Li with amusement, "You don't know yet, do you? Your brother went for a run this morning, and lots of people saw him. Those aunties really like him!"

Wen Li simply couldn't understand, "Just going for a run is enough to win the favor of the aunties?"

"No, no, no, I overheard the aunties talking about it. They said your brother has a great physique, is handsome, and is very gentle and polite. Any girl who marries him will be very happy!"

There are many things Li Xiangxiang hasn't said yet, mainly because she can't bring herself to say them.

"The aunties are right, my brother is really great!" Wen Li has an eight hundred times more biased view of her older brother, so she doesn't think there's anything wrong with everyone praising him.

"You'd better tell your brother to be careful; I don't think those girls will give up so easily!"

Wen Li nodded. If it was Wen Xu who liked her, that would be fine. But if he was really tricked, who could he complain to? Her brother was going to marry the girl he liked, and he couldn't risk his life just because he came to see her!

"I'll remind him!"

As it grew later and everyone still hadn't returned, Wen Li and Chen Yan made a lot of steamed buns so that they wouldn't have to cook for everyone when they got back.

Wen Li went to the back door several times, and it wasn't until almost eight o'clock that she saw scattered lights coming from the back mountain.

"I'm back!"

Since it concerned whether they could have a good New Year, several female educated youths in the front yard were also waiting anxiously. When they saw them return, they all came out of their rooms.

"How was the harvest?" Niu Zhaodi immediately squeezed to the front.

"Not bad, we found two wild goats. We'll go to the back mountain later to bring them back, then we'll process them and divide them up!"

Upon hearing that there were wild goats, everyone excitedly covered their mouths. "I'll go boil some water first, you all go eat!"
