Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

On the eve of spring plowing, the commune announced that Village Chief Zhao would not be returning. They didn't explain what the problem was, only that they couldn't figure it out for a while.

Let the village choose its own brigade secretary and women's director.

In the past, the village women's director was Wang Lanhua, but her work was all taken care of by Village Chief Zhao, and she herself never took care of village affairs. This is definitely not the case now.

When electing the brigade secretary, there were not many people. The brigade leader said that he had low education and would not participate, and Accountant Li did not run either!

Everyone guessed that the two were afraid of trouble and didn't want to get involved in village affairs.

Lin Shaoyang was also nominated, but he refused flatly, saying that he had to take care of the paddy fields and had no time to take care of village affairs.

In the end, the third team leader was elected as the Party branch secretary without any election. Why? He was the only Party member among the remaining three production team leaders.

Moreover, he had previously managed the third team and had dealt with all kinds of conflicts. Managing village affairs was a piece of cake for him, and he was the perfect person to be the brigade secretary.

The former women's team leader will serve as the acting director of the women's department. She is not a party member, so we have to wait until her application for party membership is approved.

As for the production team leader of Team 3, let the former team leader take charge, as Team 3 is not something that can be managed by ordinary people.

The second captain said that he was too old and could not manage the team. He was afraid that the people from the third team would be so angry that he would suffocate and die, so he transferred the young captain one over.

The other person's name was Tian Minghua, he was only 28 years old, and he almost ran away because of the popularity of Team 3 on his first day in office.

Those old ladies in Team Three were not only difficult to manage, but also teased him all day long.

After the new branch secretary took office, people were no longer allowed to call him village head. They had to call him brigade branch secretary. They could not say "village", but "brigade", and villagers had to be referred to as "members".

They also high-soundingly say that the village is the remnant of feudal society.

This was the first anger of the new branch secretary. The second anger was even more severe. He cursed people on the radio every morning, noon and evening.

If he sees you making trouble, he will criticize you directly on the loudspeaker, and tell the whole village about your family's scandals. What's more, he will deduct your work points directly on the loudspeaker.

The second fire burned so fiercely that he had no room to start the third fire.

Although the villagers like to make noise, they also want to save face. They are even more afraid of bringing shame to the younger generations in their family. Some people are afraid of being beaten when they get home.

After the brigade secretary had been arresting them for a few days, everyone became well-behaved, and the newly appointed team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After planting wheat, corn, sorghum, soybeans, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, they started to plow the paddy fields and plant rice seedlings.

Just when everyone was worried about transplanting rice seedlings, Lin Shaoyang not only got a thresher, but also several rice transplanters, capable of transplanting six rows at a time.

Jiang Yanqiu hadn't expected the tools for transplanting rice to be so advanced these days! Mechanization in the Great Northern Wilderness was truly widespread.

When transplanting rice seedlings, even people from the municipal agricultural machinery factory came and were responsible for recording various trial data.

I heard that it is the latest model and they are still trying it out. I have to admire Lin Shaoyang's ability.

People from the county agricultural bureau also came to visit and take notes. Now in the Sanjiang Plain, many places suffer from floods every year.

The educated youth did not have to work in the fields at all. The male educated youth were responsible for operating the rice transplanter, while the female educated youth were responsible for placing the seedling trays and recording the machine and any problems with missed rice transplants in the fields.

If there are leaks in those corners where the machines cannot reach, we will arrange for the villagers to plug them in.

The female educated youth who had been critical of Lin Shaoyang before immediately changed her tone and called him Brother Lin.

Lin Shaoyang gave everyone an awkward smile. These women were too realistic. They changed their attitudes faster than he turned the pages of a book.

However, this good look only lasts until it's time to weed, which still has to be done manually.

Especially on the two hundred acres of newly reclaimed land, the weeds grow faster than rice, and all we do all day is weed.

It's wet every day and it's inconvenient to go to the toilet.

On the other hand, the locals, looking at the lush rice seedlings, worked much more enthusiastically than the educated youth.

The team leader would ride his bike over every morning and evening to take a look before leaving.

The educated youth felt that the spring plowing was no easier than the autumn harvest. No wonder the educated youth didn’t even have vegetables to eat in reality.

I go out early and come back late every day after work, and I am exhausted enough, and I have to cook for myself.

If I want to take care of my own plot of land and the vegetable garden, I simply don't have enough energy, let alone time to read and study.

After the Chinese New Year, the vegetable garden at the educated youth's site was divided into four parts, with those who lived together getting one part.

At this time, the importance of male educated youth is highlighted! Although male educated youth are not as careful as female educated youth in many things, their physical strength is really not to be underestimated!

Those who lived with male educated youth had already cleaned up their private plots and vegetable gardens early on!

If there were no male educated youth, they would be dragged up slowly.

The Tian Mi sisters did not ask for their own private plots of land, but were only allocated some vegetable plots to grow some vegetables.

However, they were not very capable people. The seedlings had already sprouted, but they had not yet started to dig the soil. However, not long after, Mr. Snail loosened the soil in their vegetable fields, and they could start planting vegetables directly.

Qiao Lei reclaimed her own private plot of land and planted a lot of peanuts, melon seeds and soybeans.

Then she waited and waited, until the melon seeds, peanuts and soybeans planted in her private plot had sprouted, but there was still no movement in Lin Xiaomei's vegetable garden!

She was also embarrassed to urge Lin Xiaomei. After all, she had a much easier time as a teacher than Lin Xiaomei. They ate together, so she couldn't just rely on Lin Xiaomei.

So she asked Aunt Qiao next door for help and reclaimed some of her private land to plant beans, cucumbers and the like.

Why did she cultivate her own private plot of land to grow vegetables instead of planting them directly in the vegetable garden?

Qiao Lei felt that all the vegetables she worked so hard to grow now would become Lin Xiaomei's credit in the future.

In the past, she really thought that Lin Xiaomei was the only one who grew most of the grain in her private plot and most of the vegetables in her vegetable garden.

Only now did Qiao Lei realize that the family was functioning normally without Lin Xiaomei. Without the help of the male educated youth doing the manual labor, Lin Xiaomei couldn't handle working and cultivating her own plot of land, especially since Qiao Lei was the one who cooked all three meals a day.

She couldn't finish growing vegetables on her own plot anyway, so why not plant them on her own plot instead of hiring someone to help her grow vegetables? Then she could even put pressure on Lin Xiaomei's morale!

Jiang Yanqiu relied entirely on the spiritual spring water to support herself, and she filled the yard with crops. Except for the staple food, she planted everything available.

Potatoes, peanuts, melon seeds, rhubarb rice, watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, loofah, bitter melon, pumpkin, winter melon, various beans, etc.!

In addition, she also asked Aunt Chen to help grow sweet potato seedlings, tomato seedlings, pepper seedlings, etc.

As for the little snowflakes, they were all brought to Xu Yan. Xu Yan had a camera, so Lin Shaoyang arranged for her to take pictures and record data.

Compared to Jiang Yanqiu and the others, her job is much easier, and Xiao Xuehua is almost always taken care of by her alone during the day.

Xiao Xuehua is usually with a lot of people. She is not shy and is very well behaved. She doesn’t poop or feel hungry after eating.

If you put her on the kang, she will lie there alone, sucking her little feet and babbling for a long time.

Moreover, Xiao Xuehua now only wakes up twice every night, and cries in advance when she needs to poop. She really can't bear waking up four or five times every night like before.

But even so, if everyone didn't help take care of the child during the day, Jiang Yanqiu really couldn't handle it, and sometimes she felt very guilty.

As for Yuan Yixiuan, Jiang Yanqiu had never seen her except when she took the initiative to look for her. This village is not big, but it is not small either.

I don’t know how Jiangnan Zheng handled the situation after he returned.
