Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

This year's autumn harvest was much easier. Apart from the crops that needed to be dug out, the rest was basically harvested by machines, which saved a lot of effort!

However, the quantity is still quite large. It’s just that unlike previous years, we don’t have to work overtime to peel corn husks in the drying yard at night. We are still very busy during the day.

That day, everyone was eating in the fields when Secretary Wang and the team leader suddenly came over.

He handed a few newspapers to everyone and said with a smile, "Look at the people on them. Do they look familiar?"

Everyone took the newspaper and looked at it carefully. The title was "We are "handing over" public grain." The report took up two full pages.

The general content is that farmers lined up to pay their grain tax before dawn and encountered various troubles when paying.

At noon, everyone lined up in the scorching sun to pay their grain tax, but the people at the grain station had already gone off work, leaving everyone to wait. Especially if they hadn't paid their grain tax by the time get off work ended in the afternoon, they would have to wait until the next day.

Why can those who pay grain set out to pay their public grain before dawn, and why can the staff at the grain station just go off work on time as a matter of course?

What makes everyone feel familiar is that there are women's backs on it, especially those who look like Jiang Yanqiu and Zhao Lanlan, one is tall and the other is short, both are thin.

Jiang Yanqiu has gained some weight this year, but she only weighs 82 kilograms. Even wearing loose clothes, she still looks very thin. Zhao Lanlan is about the same.

This year, Zhao Lanlan and Jiang Yanqiu happened to be working together to promote grain.

The main point is the description: "Two frail female educated youth, weighing only about 80 kilograms, pushed 400 to 500 kilograms of wheat with their tiny bodies for more than 20 miles to reach the grain station. After finally reaching the station gate, they had to wait for two and a half hours in the scorching sun before they could pay their grain tax."

There is no doubt that this must be Xu Yan's masterpiece. When the wheat was harvested this year, the educated youth set out early.

As a result, we arrived at the grain station at half past one. The staff at the grain station had already gone off work at noon, so we had to wait until the afternoon to hand over the grain.

Xu Yan took photos at that time, but no one noticed what she took.

Of course, since Xu Yan submitted the anonymous article for such a good deed that could easily offend people, she definitely didn’t want anyone to know that it was her who did it!

Those who know about it are not stupid and will definitely not tell anyone, otherwise it may even bring trouble to other people's families.

Wang Haiyang studied the newspaper in his hand seriously, raised his eyebrows, and said with a grin, "Look quickly, the two female educated youth in the newspaper look like Jiang Yanqiu and Zhao Lanlan from behind! With their small statures, you probably wouldn't find such a similar pairing in the surrounding villages. But if you look closely, it's definitely not them. On the day our brigade paid the public grain tax, we distributed delicious white flour and meat buns to everyone. Unlike these people in the photo, who can only eat vegetable dumplings."

After hearing what he said, everyone came over curiously to look at the newspaper, then nodded in agreement, thinking it made a lot of sense.

At this time, Secretary Wang and the team leader, who had been standing silently by, spoke up: "Okay, stop thinking about it and get to work! I have good news for you. The team will have a pig-killing dinner tomorrow!"

When everyone heard the news, they were stunned at first, and then their faces broke into smiles.

Before the autumn harvest, the brigade slaughtered pigs and distributed the meat as in previous years. However, this year the brigade raised several more pigs, so it was not too surprising to slaughter one more pig at this time.

The autumn harvest is so tiring, so it’s not surprising to slaughter a pig to give everyone a snack and improve the food.

After Secretary Wang and the team leader left, the educated youth who knew the inside story were quite impressed with Xu Yan.

You know, in this special era, there are many troubles caused by writing articles, but Xu Yan actually had the courage to submit an article, which is really impressive.

However, this matter is too sensitive, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.

There are many people at the educated youth camp and they talk a lot. If those with bad intentions hear it, there might be some trouble.

No one said anything more about this matter and pretended it never happened.

I don’t know how the higher-ups checked later, but the staff at the grain station who came to pick up the corn this year were much nicer.

Even when eating in the brigade, they would take the initiative to leave their food coupons, and when being evaluated, they would follow the rules in a proper manner.

Unlike before when he was treated to fine wine and delicious food, he always finds faults and refuses to accept anything.

This year's autumn harvest was earlier than last year, and the commune arranged for the mountain brigade to install their own transformer.

The transformer was provided by the commune, but the village had to figure out how to build the electric poles and suspension wires.

The electric poles are relatively easy to make. You can just buy cement and steel bars to make them yourself. If that doesn't work, you can start with wooden poles.

It’s just that it’s hard to buy electrical wires. You have to apply in advance and queue up, and you can’t buy them in a short time.

At this time, Xu Yan suddenly remembered that someone from the Guan family worked in an electric wire factory in the provincial capital, and maybe he could help.

Secretary Wang asked Accountant Li and Lin Shaoyang to go there in person with the mountain products.

They did not go directly to the Guan family, but "ran into each other" at the factory.

What a coincidence, I met the old man of the Guan family as soon as I got to work in the morning. He is also the deputy director of the factory.

No wonder his son is so popular. Some women are even willing to commit crimes for him. With such a good family background, there are still many people who are interested in him even if he is not a good person.

When the other party heard that they were here to buy electric wires and meters, he took them directly to see the relevant person in charge. He heard that their team had adopted the abandoned granddaughter of Deputy Director Guan.

They immediately agreed to work overtime to produce it as soon as possible.

And you can also use grain, mountain products, and dried vegetables to offset part of the money!

Accountant Li agreed to the dried mountain products, but not the grain!

The village has spare food, which is life-saving food at critical moments.

Who can predict the consequences of natural disasters or man-made disasters? Who dares to touch everyone’s life-saving food?

People can understand it and say that if the dried mountain products of the brigade are good, they will purchase them from the brigade every year.

The price is higher than the purchase price but lower than the market price, so the brigade does not suffer any loss.

After the matter was settled, Guan's son brought his son and daughter-in-law to treat Lin Shaoyang and Accountant Li to dinner.

The two suggested going to see Xiao Xuehua, but the other party refused because it was too far from the factory.

After you come back, the team will start collecting mountain products and dried vegetables, which can be used to pay for electric wires, and the electric wire team will move them to your doorstep.

But you have to pay for the electricity meter, light bulbs, and the electrical wires in the house yourself.

Jiang Yanqiu also took dried wild vegetables to replace the electrical wires, some time ago in order to eat the melons of Village Chief Zhao.

I follow my gossipy aunts and sisters around every day, and have picked a lot of mountain products, but haven't sold them yet.

There are even more dried vegetables. She grows a lot of different vegetables, collects a lot of fresh ones into the space, and also dries a lot of dried vegetables.

Lin Shaoyang and the others exchanged a lot with her, and there was still a lot left. She couldn't finish it, so she took some out to replace the electrical wires and the electricity meter to avoid having to carry them to the commune purchasing station.

After confirming the installation of electric wires, in addition to the tractor drivers, there are also cows and horses who have to plow the land.

The remaining women are responsible for digging holes for the electric poles, while the men are responsible for making the poles and laying the wires.

It looks like it’s going to be another busy winter!
