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

Knowing the extraordinary abilities of the spiritual spring water, Wen Xu carefully put it away, and Wen Li gave him a few more instructions on how to use it.

"Brother, I sent you some New Year's gifts. They should arrive around the time you get back. Remember to pick them up at the post office!"

"Okay, if you have something urgent, you can go to Lu Zechuan. He's my brother's good friend and won't stand idly by!"

Although Wen Xu didn't give that bastard Lu Zechuan any chance, he was still his brother. His character and abilities were top-notch, so he could rest assured that Lu Zechuan would take care of Wen Li.

The thought of Lu Zechuan coveting Wen Li made Wen Xu furious. No matter how good he was, he was not good enough for his sister. His sister was the best girl in the world!

Worried that he was about to ramble on, Wen Li quickly interrupted him, "Yes, yes, you're leaving tomorrow. Get some rest; you can't rest well on the train!"

Wen Xu bought a hard-seat ticket; he'll be traveling for two days and two nights!

Wen Li helped Wen Xu pack his luggage, and then packed some mountain produce and fruit into it before she stopped!

The next day, Wen Li got up early to boil water and then cooked the dumplings she had made the night before.

After the brother and sister finished breakfast, Lu Zechuan and Su Hao rode over on their bicycles.

Everything that needed to be said had already been said last night. Wen Xu then gave Wen Li a long lecture. Urged by Lu Zechuan, she reluctantly sat on the back of Lu Zechuan's bicycle, where Su Hao had placed his luggage.

Wen Li handed the New Year's gifts she had prepared for Qin Hai to Wen Xu, asking him to take them with him. Wen Xu waved his hand, holding the gifts, "It's cold outside, go back!"

Wen Li waved her hand, stood at the entrance of the educated youth compound, and watched her older brother's figure gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes reddening!

After seeing Wen Xu off, Wen Li felt empty inside and kept getting distracted while reading.

Wen Xu has the spiritual spring water, so he should be safe this time. As long as Wen Xu is safe, then his father won't fall into those people's trap!

Wen Li became increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. Finally, she took out a pen and paper and wrote another letter to her father. Only after finishing the letter did her unease gradually subside.

Time flies, and the New Year is just around the corner. They are all former educated youth. The older educated youth can apply to go back to visit their families, but most of them are in poor condition, so none of them have gone back.

The new educated youth just arrived this year and can't go back home, so Wen Li and Chen Yan discussed spending the New Year together to make it more lively.

Su Hao and Lu Zechuan, along with the other three, joined in after hearing this. Wen Li and Chen Yan had no objections, and the New Year's arrangements were settled.

The educated youth in the front yard were also discussing how to celebrate the New Year. Everyone had received a lot of meat from the wild goat they had previously eaten. Niu Zhaodi and several other elderly educated youth in difficult circumstances secretly took the meat and exchanged it for other supplies.

The village is slaughtering a pig for the New Year today, and everyone got two jin of meat. Everyone brought a few liang of meat, which is enough to make several big dishes.

Wen Li specially asked for some offal, planning to make some braised pork. Su Hao and Deng Wei bought Spring Festival couplets and put them up on everyone's door. As soon as the couplets were put up, the atmosphere of the New Year was instantly there.

Just then, Gou Dan suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Wen, the educated youth!"

"Hey~ Dog Egg, did you need something?"

Dog Egg waved his hand, his face still beaming with excitement, "No, no, it's just that your relatives came to visit, and they even drove a car!"

Wen Li walked out with a puzzled look on her face and saw a car drive up, followed by a group of onlookers. Cars were not common these days; in this era, only high-ranking officials could afford to drive them.

Wen Li saw the car stop, and a woman wearing a woolen coat got out.

"Aunt Ye, what brings you here?"

"Your Uncle Qin and I came to see you especially since tomorrow is Chinese New Year!"

Qin Hai also got off the car carrying large and small bags, and Wen Li quickly led him into the educated youth compound.

Ye Min looked around at the environment of the educated youth compound. Qin Hai had specially chosen this place for Wen Li when she came to the countryside. Whether it was the accommodation or the folk customs of the village, it was incomparable to other villages.

Looking at it now, although it can't compare to the city, at least the houses here have roof tiles, and the conditions are much better than in other places.

Back in their room, Wen Li made each of them a bowl of honey water.

"Aunt Ye, Uncle Qin, are you on holiday now?"

"Your Uncle Qin is on holiday, and I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow, so I took advantage of my day off to come and see you!"

Ye Min glanced around Wen Li's room. Although the room was a bit cramped, it was clean and tidy. She pulled Wen Li down to sit with satisfaction.

"You've suffered!"

Wen Li chuckled, "Aunt Ye, how is it tough? Besides, we're cooped up indoors every day during the winter, compared to you, it's so easy for us!"

Ye Min's smile never stopped after Wen Li showered her with compliments.

"Little Pear, you're all alone here anyway, why don't you go spend the New Year at your uncle's house?"

Wen Li explained the situation at the educated youth compound, and a hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Min's eyes. "We should have told you sooner!"

Seeing his wife's disappointment, Qin Hai quickly comforted her, "Alright, don't be sad. There will be other opportunities in the future. Besides, Xiao Li has already made plans with everyone, so it's not good to go back on her word, is it?"

Qin Hai and Ye Min had just started their holiday today and needed to go back to prepare for the New Year. They sat in the house for a while before leaving. The two had originally planned to bring Wen Li to their home for the New Year, but Wen Li had already made arrangements with everyone, so they had to leave with regret.

After seeing the two off, Wen Li opened the things they had brought and looked at them. There were a lot of melon seeds and candies, as well as canned fruit and malted milk powder, all kinds of food. At the end, there was a red envelope. Wen Li opened the red envelope and looked at it. Inside was a 100-yuan note.

She packed her things away and went to work by the well.

Lu Zechuan and his group bought an old hen, two fish, and some pheasants and rabbits. They prepared them today so they could cook them directly for the New Year tomorrow.

Wen Li also brought out a dried goose, while Chen Yan and Qi Jun prepared cured pork and sausages.

Each of the seven people prepared a meat dish, making this New Year's celebration quite sumptuous.

The next day, smoke rose from every household in the village early in the morning. Today was a rare day to eat meat, and the village was filled with the aroma of meat. Everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

Gou Dan brought a child to the educated youth compound to wish them a Happy New Year. Wen Li gave each child some fruit candy, and the children kept saying auspicious words to everyone they met, as if they were free.

Wen Li laughed so hard her stomach almost hurt!

Chen Yan and the others also took out melon seeds and candies to share with them. Lu Zechuan was the most direct, giving each child a one-cent red envelope.

At first, everyone was a little afraid of him, but now they are all no longer afraid and surround him, asking him to play with them.

After a lively New Year's Eve dinner, a group of young people began preparing to make dumplings and stay up all night to welcome the new year.

Since there's no TV to watch, after making dumplings, everyone gathers in Qi Jun's room to play cards to pass the time.
