Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After the grain was distributed, the commune held another market, but Jiang Yanqiu couldn't go with Xiao Xuehua.

She asked Xu Yan and Zhao Lanlan to help her exchange some meat if they saw any. Xu Yan honestly exchanged more than 60 kilograms of fish for Jiang Yanqiu.

There are carp, snakehead fish, crucian carp, and black carp, all of which are about three pounds in size, and there is also a salmon weighing seven or eight pounds.

Xu Yan said that she took great pains to grab three and gave the big one to Jiang Yanqiu.

There are no fish in the river in their village, but there are in the river. The brigade near the river even has a special fishing team, and there are many fish after the winter fishing.

The big fish purchasing station collects them themselves, and the small fish team handles them themselves. At this big market, they only cost 20 to 30 cents per pound.

Apart from getting some food, everyone spent the rest of the time in the house reading and playing cards.

Because of the snowflakes, Jiang Yanqiu's house became a gathering place for everyone.

Jiang Yanqiu suspected that they were all there to warm themselves by the fire. They said they were there to see the children, but in the end they all picked up books and read for the whole day.

There is an iron stove in Jiang Yanqiu's room, which is much warmer than other people's rooms.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yanqiu received two packages from the Jiang family.

One was sent by Jiang Mingzhu, which contained a set of sweaters and trousers, a sheepskin hat, five pounds of biscuits, two pounds of candy, one pound of chocolate, two pounds of bacon, and two pounds of meat coupons.

The other one was sent by the Jiang family and is several generations older than Jiang Mingzhu's.

Inside were clothes that Jiang Zhenzhu didn't want anymore, including two thick cotton coats, a sweater, a pair of fur boots, and two pounds of garlic sausage.

Not to mention the clothes, even the shoe sizes are not suitable. Jiang Zhenzhu wears size 35 shoes, while Jiang Yanqiu has to wear size 37. The person who sent it didn't take the shoes seriously at all.

Jiang Yanqiu took out the garlic sausage. It would be a waste not to take it, unless she was not allowed to take care of the elderly in the future.

As for the clothes, they were sent out intact, but this time they were sent to Jiang Anhua's unit, and a list of the items they sent was also sent.

As for Jiang Mingzhu, Jiang Yanqiu sent some mushrooms, hazelnuts and pine nuts back as a return gift.

Lin Xiaomei also saw the package being sent, and turned back to Qiao Lei and muttered, "Didn't Jiang Yanqiu say she was severing ties with her family? I just saw her send two packages back. Isn't she also trying to support her family?"

After hearing this, Qiao Lei said, "Isn't this normal? Her family sent two packages, so it's no problem for her to send two back."

She was really misled by the book, and even more so by Lin Xiaomei!

Lin Xiaomei always talks about how great she is and how incompetent others are.

It turns out that apart from being good at talking and having a bit of courage, she is not as good as Jiang Yanqiu and Zhao Lanlan in other aspects.

They are both timid, but they have skills.

Lin Xiaomei said in surprise: "Received two packages? Is it so good to break off relations?"

Or she could write a letter to sever ties with her family and see if they would send her something!

Qiao Lei was too lazy to talk to her about boring things, so she lowered her voice and whispered, "I heard that the school matter is almost settled. We'll know the details after the village chief goes to the commune for a meeting."

This was inside information that she had spent a lot of effort to obtain.

She didn't want to tell Lin Xiaomei, but she thought that if Lin Xiaomei hadn't told her about building the school in advance, she wouldn't have known to prepare in advance.

If you want to continue getting along with Lin Xiaomei, you have to share the good and the bad, because the teacher won't just recruit one.

When Lin Xiaomei heard this, her eyes lit up and she almost jumped for joy. If Qiao Lei hadn't covered her mouth, she would have probably shouted out loud.

Qiao Lei said speechlessly, "Are you going to let the entire educated youth center know?"

Lin Xiaomei calmed down and said, "I was just too excited. So, do we have to give the village chief another gift before the New Year?"

There shouldn't be any problem with her, but Qiao Lei shouldn't refuse the gift. She can't let Qiao Lei get suspicious.

Qiao Lei nodded, her expression very serious as she said, "We've known each other for so long, I won't hide anything from you anymore. Actually, I don't just want to give you a gift, I'm also planning on giving you some money."

At this point, Qiao Lei paused, then continued, "I've heard about private teachers in other places. They get a five-yuan subsidy every month in addition to their work points, the same treatment as barefoot doctors. It's hard to get a job without spending a little more money. But, this is just my analysis. If you disagree, just ignore what I said. If you still consider me a friend, don't spread it around."

Qiao Lei said it so generously and directly. The village was recruiting teachers, and there wouldn't be many places for educated youth. If she and Lin Xiaomei both wanted to be teachers, there would indeed be some competition.

However, it's just a small private teacher position, which is not worth Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei scheming against each other and fighting over it.

What's more, Lin Xiaomei is quite loyal to him, so she may not necessarily be his right-hand man in the future.

Of course, she wanted to find an easy job for Lin Xiaomei so that she would have more time to improve her abilities.

When Lin Xiaomei heard Qiao Lei's frank words, her heart immediately warmed, and she was a little touched, but also a little guilty.

She thought to herself that she was right and Qiao Lei must be the most sincere to her.

However, Lin Xiaomei was reluctant to give money, thinking it was unnecessary.

But in order to synchronize with Qiao Lei, he still asked: "Then how much should we give?"

Qiao Lei lowered her head slightly and fell into deep thought.

According to the annual salary standard for private teachers here, the annual salary is only 60 yuan.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Lei decided to just give him a whole year's salary.

Anyway, she is not short of money, what she lacks is energy, so she tries to find an easy job for herself.

But she was a little worried about whether Village Chief Zhao was reliable.

What if the money is wasted?

She was not afraid, but she was afraid that something would happen to Lin Xiaomei, and then the whole village would know about it, making it difficult for both parties.

Thinking of this, Qiao Lei decided it was better to be cautious. She looked up at Lin Xiaomei and said, "How about this? Let's give her fifty yuan to test the waters first. This time, we must not go directly to Village Chief Zhao!"

When she heard the fifty yuan, Lin Xiaomei felt heartbroken, as she only earned twenty-seven yuan in work points a year.

But he still controlled his emotions and pretended to be curious and asked, "If not the village chief, who should we look for? Do you have anyone in the commune?"

Qiao Lei smiled mysteriously, then replied, "Don't worry about this. Just prepare the money and follow my steps closely."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaomei nodded obediently and did not express any further opinions.

After observing and understanding for a period of time, Qiao Lei discovered that Village Chief Zhao tended to listen to Wang Lanhua.

Wang Lanhua is a money-hungry person, just like Lin Xiaomei.

But he is also the kind of person who gets along with others.

Qiao Lei likes this kind of people. If they take money from others, they have to help them eliminate troubles. They are afraid of taking money but not giving it back. If you ask that kind of people to do something for you, you are worried that they will not do it.

So when encountering this situation, it is better to go directly to Wang Lanhua than to go to Village Chief Zhao.

What if Wang Lanhua just takes the money but doesn’t do the job!

Then don't blame her for being rude. The whole village will be in an uproar because of this matter.

I don’t know whether Village Chief Zhao can keep his position as village chief!
