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

"Hello, Wen Zhiqing, I am He Kun from Hongxing Police Station. I came here today on behalf of the Railway Bureau to deliver a letter of commendation and a banner to you. Thank you for your quick thinking on the train, which protected the safety of people's and the country's property. On behalf of the Railway Bureau, I am presenting this banner to express my gratitude!"

Although He Kun works at the Public Security Bureau, he wasn't very clear about the details, but the fact that they entrusted him to deliver the banner and letter of commendation meant that it must be something important.

Wen Li happily accepted the banner and letter of thanks. "Thank you, police officers. This is what I should do. As an ambitious young person, protecting the safety of the country and its people's property is my duty!"

He Kun nodded with satisfaction; this girl was indeed someone who deserved the banner.

"Both Wen and Su, the educated youth, have very high ideological awareness and are good role models for the people. This is a reward of one hundred yuan from the railway bureau, along with an enamel mug and a kettle!"

The young policeman behind He Kun handed the items to the two men respectively.

When everyone heard that Wen Li and Su Hao had actually received a reward of one hundred yuan, they all looked at the two with envy.

Loud applause erupted from the crowd.

Wen Li originally thought that receiving a letter of commendation and a banner would be quite good, but she didn't expect to receive an unexpected surprise!

After delivering the items, He Gong'an praised Wen Li and Su Hao before riding away on his bicycle.

The villagers immediately surrounded them, all asking what Wen Li and Su Hao had done to receive such a large bonus.

The captain quickly stepped forward and chased them all away, then led the two men into the captain's office.

Upon entering the office, the brigade leader and several village officials surrounded Wen Li and Su Hao with hopeful expressions.

"Wen, Su, look... this banner you've put on..."

Su Hao immediately understood the captain's meaning and handed the banner to him, saying, "Captain, as a member of the Qianjin Brigade, I thank everyone for their care. Please hang this banner at the village committee!"

Seeing this, Wen Li also chimed in, "Captain, please hang my banner at the village committee as well. I've been so grateful for everyone's care during my time in the countryside, this is just a small token of my appreciation!"

The brigade leader's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile. "Good, good, good! You're all good kids. You've done good deeds, and the higher-ups have praised you. Our brigade can't let that go unrewarded. So, we'll reward each of you with twenty work points! And when we distribute pork at the end of the year, each of you will get an extra two jin!"

No one had any objections to the reward.

You have to understand that their village has never received a single banner of appreciation in all these years. Now that they have received two banners, their chances of winning the title of "Advanced Brigade" are much greater. Once they win the title of "Advanced Brigade," they will be assigned a tractor.

Owning a tractor was a source of pride for the entire brigade, and it also saved a lot of trouble.

The neighboring sorghum brigade got a tractor last year, and the people from the sorghum brigade often showed it off in front of them. The villagers were both envious and extremely resentful!

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

"Alright, take your things back first. I've decided you can rest today and start work tomorrow!"

Wen Li's face instantly lit up with a big smile. "Village chief, could you give me a letter of introduction? I'd like to go to the county town to visit a relative of mine today!"

"No problem! I'll go get it for you right away!" The village chief agreed with a wave of his hand.

Wen Li happily returned to the educated youth compound after receiving the letter of introduction.

"Su, I'm going to the county town. Could you please tell Chen Yan that I might be back late?"

Su Hao planned to go to the back mountain to collect firewood. On the way, he would pass by Chen Yan's mission site. It was just a matter of a word, and he immediately agreed!

"Okay, no problem! Go ahead!"

It was still early, so Wen Li rode her bicycle to the commune. She didn't want to take the bus, and since she was in good shape, she rode her bicycle to the county town.

By the time we arrived in the county town, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Wen Li first went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a can of malted milk powder and a sponge cake, and then bought a few pounds of grapes, as grapes were the only available fruit this season.

The supply and marketing cooperative in the county town had a much wider selection of goods than the one in the commune; Wen Li even saw sanitary napkins.

"Comrade, how much are the sanitary napkins?"

"Six yuan a pack, ten tablets in a pack!"

No wonder this counter is almost empty; at this price, how could the average person afford it?

Wen Li gritted her teeth, "I want five packs!"

After buying the items, Wen Li found a quiet place and put them into her spatial storage.

She wandered around the county town for a while, familiarizing herself with its layout, before heading to the state-run restaurant.

"Comrade, I'd like a bowl of plain noodles, and a steamed bun to go!"

Do you have lunchboxes?

Wen Li took out the lunchbox and handed it to the aunt who was collecting the money.

"A bowl of plain noodles costs three mao (0.3 yuan), ten meat buns cost one yuan plus three liang (0.5 kg) of grain coupons!"

Wen Li paid the bill, found a seat, finished her noodles, and then strolled around the county town for a while. When it was almost time, she went to the county office.

"Sir, hello, I'd like to see Secretary Qin!"

Yes, Wen Li came to the county town to find Uncle Qin, whom the original owner's mother had mentioned, and to build a relationship with him.

Since the female lead has a powerful backer, she can't fall behind. Wen Li is used to planning ahead, and she needs to maintain this relationship regularly, otherwise it would be too presumptuous for her to ask for help in the future!

"Who are you? What do you want with Secretary Qin?" The old man's tone softened slightly when he saw that Wen Li was a pretty young girl.

"My name is Wen Li. My father and Secretary Qin are good friends. I'm currently working in the countryside in Hongxing Commune, and I've come here specifically to pay a visit!"

"Okay, come in and wait a moment, I'll go ask for you!"

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

After the old man left, Wen Li didn't go into the security booth. Instead, she stood under the eaves and waited. About ten minutes later, Wen Li saw a man in his forties wearing a Zhongshan suit hurriedly walk out.

Upon seeing Wen Li, his eyes lit up, and his previously serious face instantly softened. "You must be Xiao Li?"

Wen Li gave a perfectly timed smile. "Hello, Uncle Qin!"

Qin Hai nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, you're all grown up now. I used to hold you when you were little, but you were only a little over a year old then, so you probably don't remember! Come on, it's sunny outside, let's go inside and chat."

The two walked toward the office next door.

"I heard from Dad that you've been here for over ten years, and you haven't seen each other for several years!"

"That's right! Your father passed through five years ago, and we met briefly. He always bragged to me about how thoughtful his daughter was. Now I've finally met you! Your Aunt Ye has been wanting to see you for a long time, but we've both been so busy lately. I didn't expect you to come first!"

"I happened to have some free time today, so I thought I'd come and familiarize myself with the place. Next time I'll just go straight to my place!"

The two entered the office, and Qin Hai gestured for Wen Li to sit down and poured her a glass of water.

"My home is in the residential compound behind here. Your Aunt Ye is at work. I'll take you there later to show you the place!"

"No need, no need. You and Aunt Ye are both busy. I know where you live, so I can just ask around next time I come!"
