Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 128 It’s hard to be a good person

Several village officials said, "Since the child is not yours, we will give him away. There are many families who want sons."

The couple became anxious when they heard this and quickly admitted it.

Wang Danniu shamelessly said, "The educated youth are so rich that they can support a little girl. What's wrong with them raising a son for me? I gave my son to them because they have good conditions. If they were not so well off, I would be afraid that my son would suffer."

After hearing this, everyone didn’t know what to say for a moment!

You are the only family in the world that has a son!

At this moment, Yuan Yixuan suddenly ran over like a madman and tried to snatch the child away, crying, "Son, my son! Why did you come here? It's so hard for Mom to find you!"

When Wang Danniu and her husband saw that Yuan Yixuan was coming to snatch the child away, they were very anxious.

They still knew that Yuan Yixuan had gone crazy because of the child.

He quickly picked up the child and ran back into the house, slamming the door shut.

Yuan Yixiuan banged on the door frantically to demand the child, and was then dragged away by two strong women arranged by Village Chief Zhao.

Jiang Yanqiu looked at all this in surprise. What happened to Yuan Yixiuan? Why did she suddenly go crazy?

How come I haven't heard anything about the educated youth camp?

But there is no time to think about Yuan Yixuan's problem now.

Jiang Yanqiu said to several village officials, "Village head, team leader, don't we have to deal with this child's problem? We educated youth have limited food rations, and I won't be able to work if I take her with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Village Chief Zhao said, "You can take care of the child for a while. At the end of the year, the police are busy with notices and don't have time to find someone to adopt the child. Just consider it a good deed."

Several village cadres were somewhat dissatisfied, wondering why the children were left in the village. However, they had regulations not to interfere with other people's work, so they couldn't say anything.

Later, Village Chief Zhao promised to give Xiao Xuehua seven kilograms of fine grain every month and raise her like a child in the village!

Only then did Jiang Yanqiu agree to continue adopting the child.

Of course, these seven pounds of fine grains must be provided by Village Chief Zhao's family first. No one agrees to take the village's grain.

Seven pounds of fine grains a month is too much for a newborn baby to finish, but if you exchange it for coarse grains, it would be enough for a teenager.

Many families want to raise little snowflakes!

Village chief Zhao disagreed and placed Xiao Xuehua under the care of Jiang Yanqiu, since Jiang Yanqiu had already raised her for so long.

As for Wang Danniu and the other girl asking for punishment, that was impossible because they didn't take the village's punishment seriously at all.

Even if he was sent to a study class in the commune, people might still celebrate it!

They provide three meals a day there, which is much better than what we eat at home.

On the way back, Jiang Yanqiu heard about Yuan Yixiuan from Li Hehua.

One day in the middle of the night, the commune’s Red Guards suddenly came and arrested Yuan Yixiuan.

It is said that Jiang Nanzheng is an escaped prisoner. Someone saw Jiang Nanzheng returning to the village and asked Yuan Yixuan to tell him the whereabouts of Jiang Nanzheng!

Yuan Yixiuan said she didn't know and wanted to force her to confess!

Later, Yuan Yixiuan was tortured until she fainted. When she woke up the next day, she had gone crazy. She would grab any child she saw and call Jiang Nanzheng any handsome man she saw.

Now the village has entrusted Yuan Yixiuan to the care of an old lady.

As for why the village did not report Yuan Yixuan's condition and why they did not send her to the hospital, that's quite interesting.

However, Village Chief Zhao should have also become suspicious of Yuan Yixiuan, otherwise why would someone suddenly come to investigate Jiang Nanzheng after such a long time.

I really don’t know what Yuan Yixiuan’s ending would be like in her previous life.

Jiang Yanqiu went to see Yuan Yixiuan. The old lady who took care of her was over 60 years old.

Her husband passed away during the Anti-Japanese War. She raised her son alone. Her son passed away a few years ago and her daughter-in-law also ran away. She has been living with her two grandchildren alone.

Because he was said to have a tough life, he rarely moved around in the village.

After finishing the milk powder sent by Xiao Xuehua from the educated youth site, Wang Haiyang and Qin Yiheng each bought a bag of milk powder.

Jiang Yanqiu refused to accept any more gifts from others. Xiao Xuehua now gets seven kilograms of fine grains a month.

If I accept things from other people again, someone will be jealous. What if the situation gets out of hand and the villagers really send Xiao Xuehua away?

But it seems that I can no longer do good deeds in the future, otherwise people will either take advantage of you or use moral blackmail on you.

In that era, it was difficult to be a good person and do good deeds, just like helping an elderly person who fell down in the previous life.

If you help, you will be blackmailed; if you don’t help, you will be sued.

The same is true now. If Wang Danniu gave birth to a baby instead of a son, they, the educated youth, would be afraid of being blackmailed again.

If you adopt someone, they will think it is their right thing to do. If you don't, you will be subjected to a lot of moral blackmail.

People's hearts don't become cold in a day.

It’s no wonder that everyone likes to take revenge on the spot. They are not saintly characters. They relieve stress when they confront and teach others a lesson.

If you don't like it whether you do it or not, why bother doing it out of curiosity? During the Chinese New Year, we all ground tofu together again, this time grinding ten kilograms.

Aunt Chen's family next door also brought some over to negotiate with them. Jiang Yanqiu did not hide anything and directly taught the other party how to make tofu.

Aunt Chen has helped her a lot in the past six months since she came through.

In their past life, every household in their hometown knew how to make tofu. It was just a matter of skill, not a secret recipe.

But here, there are only a few restaurants that know how to order, otherwise it wouldn’t be so expensive.

Aunt Chen felt quite embarrassed, so when her family slaughtered the New Year pig, she invited all the educated youth to their house to eat the pig-slaughtering meal.

Most families here have to slaughter a pig for the New Year, and every family will invite close friends to a pig-slaughtering dinner.

As soon as winter comes, some families slaughter the New Year pig. Everyone shares the pork and makes some delicious food for the men who go out to work.

Some of the pork is slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, and everyone comes to their house to share the pork for the Chinese New Year. This year, it is Aunt Chen's family's turn to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The educated youth did not raise pigs and had no relatives with the other party, so naturally the other party would not invite them to a pig-killing meal.

As for pork, there wasn't enough for everyone to share, so how could there be any for the educated youth? Unless they had some ulterior motives towards you, or you had done them a favor.

While they were grinding tofu, Qiao Lei took the initiative to write couplets for the villagers for free!

Of course, only a small number of people who like to take advantage of others would go there, as most families in the village still favor boys over girls.

Couplets are auspicious symbols for bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, so how can they be written by women?

Gu Qingqing suggested that they cook and eat together for the New Year’s Eve dinner, but Lin Shaoyang said that it was too slow, so he asked everyone to cook their own dishes and eat together.

If you think about it, it makes sense. This way it is easier and may suit your taste.

Jiang Yanqiu took out the salmon she had bought earlier and fried it into a braised sauce, and then simmered the braised fish on the iron stove.

Little Snowflake was lying on the kang, babbling in baby language, having a lot of fun playing by herself.

Jiang Yanqiu was making dumplings nearby. She had thought she would get some pork during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't!

Fortunately, families who raise pigs during the Chinese New Year all slaughter their New Year pigs, and each family buys and stores some pork.

The first ones to come were Lin Shaoyang and Liu Yuanda. One made pork trotters with soybeans, and the other made beef brisket stewed with radish.

Gu Qingqing and the other three had five dishes: squid stewed with chicken soup, squirrel fish, Dongpo pork, fried shrimp, and tofu meatballs.

Everyone thought Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei would not come, as they rarely participated in group activities.

As a result, two people came over with boiled fish slices and four-happiness meatballs.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was all meat, no vegetables, and some stir-fried cabbage.

No one wanted to drink at dinner, and I guess no one will dare to drink in the future.

Especially Lin Shaoyang, who almost lost his life.

After dinner, everyone started playing cards and played until twelve o'clock, ending only after eating dumplings.
