Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

In the middle of the process, I even hit my leg with an axe. Fortunately, I was wearing warm clothes in winter, and the area that was hit was my knee, so I had a knee pad.

At noon, the team leader led people to light a number of bonfires on the shore, and the educated youth put their lunch boxes on the bonfires to heat them up before eating.

The villagers didn't bring lunch, so they threw sweet potatoes and potatoes into the fire and cooked them.

The team leader came over with a roasted sweet potato, plopped down, and said to the educated youth across from him, "You educated youth, you have to perform well at work this afternoon. The educated youth office will be here to inspect you. If you don't perform well, you'll be assigned to help out at the quarry. We told the educated youth office that we had too much work to do in the village, so they didn't say anything. Later, when people ask you what you did during the winter, you female educated youth, just say you helped organize twine and twist ropes at the village office, and you male educated youth, just say you dug manure. Got it?"

"I understand." The new educated youth didn't know, but the three old educated youth knew how hard life was in the quarry, and it was also the place closest to them.

The team leader continued to complain, "I think your Youth League Office is sick. They're worried that your work points aren't enough to feed you. Why don't they even give you any food when you come? It's really torturous in this cold winter."

Before the educated youth could say anything, a man joked, "Tian Da Laba, just tell them that if they report you, they'll even remove you from your position as team leader."

The team leader said nonchalantly, "I'd love to. I've been working so hard all day, trying to get you guys some benefits. The higher-ups are trying to get me fired every day, and yet you all keep cursing my ancestors behind my back."

This statement was so blunt that everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and it somewhat concealed everyone's embarrassment, including the educated youth.

Every time the captain yelled at them, everyone would quietly curse back as revenge.

After lunch, we put out the fire and continued working.

After a while, Village Chief Zhao came with six people from the county Youth League Office and the commune Youth League Office.

He even called out names with a list. Before he finished calling out a person, everyone in the team shook hands with him and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

When it was Qiao Lei's turn, she blurted out, "Serve the people."

Lin Xiaomei laughed out loud without any hesitation.

Then they asked each of them to carry a large bundle of reed stalks, which was difficult even for a strong laborer to carry, and asked the propaganda officer to take pictures of them.

After taking the photos, we left. It took less than half an hour.

When they were about to get off work, they suddenly heard a baby crying "wa~wa..." in front of the area where the educated youth were responsible.

It was particularly loud amidst the clamor and startled everyone.

Lin Xiaomei was so frightened that she screamed "Ah!" and ran to hug Qiao Lei beside her, asking in a trembling voice, "What's that sound?"

Qiao Lei secretly sighed at how many bad things Lin Xiaomei had done. She scared so many people in broad daylight!

"It sounds like a child crying." Xu Yan said and ran towards the direction of the crying sound.

Everyone rushed over and saw a baby wrapped tightly in a bag lying in the reeds 20 meters away from them.

Xu Yan was about to hug her when Gu Qingqing quickly stopped her and said, "Don't move. Ask the village officials to come over and take a look first."

After hearing this, Jiang Yanqiu hurried over to shout to the team leader and the others: "Team leader, Captain Wang has a newborn baby over there."

Upon hearing about the child, the captain dropped his work, ran over, and cursed, "It must be those people in the Corps who did this. Every year when we're cutting reeds, we come across a dead baby. It's really unlucky."

Jiang Yanqiu explained: "Captain, it's alive."

"Alive?" The captain and several others hurried over. There were already many people watching the fun around.

Seeing the child in the snow, the captain yelled again: "Why don't you pick up the child? It's so cold."

As a result, the child finally calmed down, but started crying even louder.

Gu Qingqing pointed at the child and said, "Captain, this child must have just been placed here. Look at the clear footprints. We should be able to find the person who placed the child here by following them."

The team leader thought it made sense and said, "You female educated youth, take the child back first. I'll send someone to chase him. But everyone is cutting reeds everywhere today, so we may not be able to find him."

Xu Yan was the first to rush to the child and picked him up.

At this time, a pregnant woman ran over and said with a smile: "Captain, come and see if it's a son or a daughter?"

The captain glared and roared, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Wang Danniu excitedly said, "Let me raise my son!"

She has given birth to four daughters. If it was a son, she would adopt him. Maybe it would bring her good luck. This time the baby was born with a belly, so she would have more confidence in her husband's family.

The team leader said angrily, "Take care of yourself first and calculate how much your family owes the village. You still want to adopt a child. If the villagers hadn't discussed it, your family of six would have starved to death!"

Then he turned to the female educated youth, saying, "You female educated youth can leave your work now. Go back and help look after the children. By the way, tell the village chief and I'll take some people to look for the person."

The team leader had a motive for letting the female educated youth take the child away. A child of that age could probably only be fed with rice soup, and the only people in the village who had rice were the educated youth.

No one thought much about it and went home with their children.

The captain led people to track the footprints, and found that the reeds were full of footprints.

During this period, people came to the reed marsh every day to pick up lost items. Before work and during the lunch break, the villagers were all walking around the reed marsh, so they had no way of identifying the footprints.

I had no choice but to go back and report to the commune, and go to the nearby brigades and corps companies to investigate whether there were any pregnant women or children missing.

The child was taken back to the educated youth site. Qiao Lei and Gu Qingqing, who lived alone, naturally did not want to cause trouble for themselves, so that they would have fewer opportunities to resell supplies.

There were three people living in the front yard, but none of them could make the decision, so they had to leave the child with Jiang Yanqiu.

This is probably what the other party had anticipated a long time ago!

The little guy probably just had a full meal, and he stopped crying and making a fuss after his diaper was changed.

Wang Danniu followed her to the educated youth site, and when she saw it was a girl, she left cursing.

Jiang Yanqiu took some rice and cooked porridge on the fire so that she could feed the child with the rice soup later.

She didn't dare to take out the milk powder suddenly, so she had to force the little guy to eat rice soup during the day and then feed him milk powder at night.

When the village chief heard the news and couldn't catch the person, he drove his ox sleigh to the public security bureau in a hurry to report the situation. When he returned, it was already late at night.

In fact, it was just after nine o'clock, which means it was dark at four o'clock in the afternoon, so everyone went to bed early if they had nothing to do.

Village chief Zhao had just knocked on the door when suddenly, with a "whoosh", an arrow flew past his ear and hit the door frame with a "bang".

Village chief Zhao was about to get angry when he found a note hanging on the arrow, so he quickly pulled it off.

When he saw the contents inside with a flashlight, he was so scared that his face changed drastically and he looked around.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything in the dark night.
