Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Before going to work in the afternoon, Gu Qingqing and Gu Qingshi went to the brigade headquarters with the large radio that was almost one meter long.

Along the way, this radio attracted many people to come and watch the fun. They had never seen such a big radio.

Secretary Wang, who had just arrived at Shanggong, was also very curious. He quickly walked up to the two men and asked, "Gu Zhiqing, what are you doing? Why are you holding a radio?"

Gu Qingqing replied with a smile on her face, "Secretary Wang, we have caused a lot of trouble for everyone in the past two years since we came to the brigade. Thanks to your care, we are able to live in peace!

This time when I went home to visit my family, I happened to see a radio that didn't require a ticket to buy. We discussed it and decided to bring one back for our team so that everyone could hear what was happening outside and learn about the world outside!

Accountant Li, who was standing nearby, frowned upon hearing this and said worriedly, "Such a large radio would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it? Our team doesn't have that much money to buy one!"

Gu Qingqing quickly waved her hand and explained, "Don't worry, Accountant Li. The team didn't have to pay for this radio! It's our gift to the team, and it's free."

Accountant Li breathed a sigh of relief and a rare smile appeared on his face.

When Secretary Wang heard that it was a free gift, he was so happy.

Their team was so lucky to have met so many rich and generous educated youth.

First, Lin Shaoyang donated tractors, rice transplanters and other machines. Since Lin Shaoyang had no use for the gifts from the factory at that time, it was reasonable for him to give them to the brigade.

Now these two Gu Zhiqing actually paid for the radio for the brigade out of their own pockets. This is a great kindness.

Not to mention that the surrounding teams don’t have such treatment, you can’t find such a good thing even in the whole world!

But he still had to be polite on the surface and declined, "How can this be so embarrassing! We dare not accept such a valuable gift! How about this, we put the money on the account first, and give it to you two when the brigade has money at the end of the year."

How could Gu Qingqing not know what Secretary Wang was thinking? He liked to say polite words after becoming the secretary.

She coughed twice, trying to suppress her laughter, before softly saying, "Secretary Wang's radio isn't the bigger the more expensive! Even though it's so big, it only costs a few dozen yuan. Compared to the care you've given us over the past two years, it's nothing! If you're still polite to us for just a few dozen yuan, we won't be able to trouble you again in the future."

After hearing this, several brigade cadres thought about it and found that it was indeed true.

If it's just a few dozen dollars, it's not expensive. They can still afford it and accept the favor.

Moreover, compared with the troubles Gu Qingqing usually caused them, it was really not in vain!

The work done by all the educated youth in the entire educated youth site combined is not as much as that done by Gu Qingqing alone.

Putting aside other things, just helping her deal with those admirers gave them a lot of headaches.

Today one person comes to complain that Gu Qingqing seduced his son, and tomorrow another person comes to complain that Gu Qingshi beat his son.

Later, many people jointly signed a letter to expel Gu Qingqing and Gu Qingshi from the team to prevent them from "harming" the young people in the team.

Thinking of these brigade cadres happily and without pressure accepting the radio given by Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing was even more considerate and stayed to teach them how to use the radio personally, and only left after they had learned it.

As soon as Gu Qingshi left, Secretary Wang couldn't wait to turn on the radio and didn't turn it off until the evening. It seemed a bit of a waste for Jiang Yanqiu and the others to buy such a radio.

From then on, Secretary Wang no longer cursed people on the radio as he did before, but started to play the content on the radio frequently.

As long as it is not working hours, the radio is always on so that everyone can know the latest news outside. It doesn’t consume much electricity anyway.

In this way, the brigade's drying yard was often full of people, and it suddenly became the most lively place in the brigade. It was closest to the big radio.

Even in places with loudspeakers, they can clearly hear what is being said on the radio, and they also like to go to the brigade's drying yard.

If you want to talk about everyone’s favorite program, it must be storytelling.

Compared with those obscure policy clauses, vivid and interesting stories are obviously more attractive and make people fascinated.

It is said that at this time, when the storyteller reaches the key plot of the story, he will also say: "To know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter!"

This has piqued everyone's curiosity, making everyone feel itchy and unable to eat or sleep peacefully!

I don't know who came up with the idea, but they said that the educated youth usually like to read and must know the follow-up of the storytelling.

So everyone went to find the educated youth to find out what happened next.

At this time, people have no concept of "spoilers". Even if it is something they are already familiar with or can even recite by heart, they are still happy to listen to others tell it again.

At the beginning, the educated youth didn’t take this seriously. If someone wanted to listen, then just tell them.

However, after a few days, the educated youth didn't want to talk anymore. It was fine if he talked to them while they were at work, but after work he would force them to talk about novels and not let them rest!

Especially Qiao Lei, she likes to show off her abilities.

Ever since she learned that the village was recruiting teachers, she has been showing off her education all the time, as if she is the most educated person in the entire commune.

Later she became a teacher. Perhaps realizing that teachers had to be careful with their words and actions, she began to restrain herself and no longer offended people like before.

I tried hard to rebuild an image of myself as someone who is warm and easy to get along with, and I got along pretty well with most people over the past year.

Now that she encountered this storytelling thing, Qiao Lei felt that her storytelling skills were much better than those of the people on the radio. In addition, many people came to her to ask about the follow-up plot of the radio storytelling.

Qiao Lei was quite enthusiastic. She set up a stall in the front yard of the educated youth site and told stories to everyone seriously every night according to the storytelling routine.

I have to say that her storytelling ability is really outstanding. Not only can she make the plot vivid, but she is also very good at creating an atmosphere, making the audience feel as if they are there.

Moreover, she speaks differently from many people nowadays. When she tells stories, she doesn't deliberately drag out the words or raise her voice. This natural and fluent expression is very popular with everyone.

At the beginning, she told everyone the traditional storytelling that she had heard from the radio.

Later, in order to make the audience more satisfied and interested, she came up with a special idea and added some exciting stories on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

These new contents immediately attracted a lot of people. Every day after work, the front yard of the educated youth site was crowded with people. Even at noon, someone would pull her up and ask her to continue speaking.

As soon as they had free time, everyone couldn't wait to run to the educated youth site. Some people even took their bowls to the educated youth site to eat, just to listen to her stories while eating.

After a while, Qiao Lei couldn't stand it anymore. Every night at 10 o'clock, everyone still didn't want to leave and kept asking about the next plot.

Now that the wheat harvest is over, this period is relatively less busy and the sun rises very early every day.

Rural people are accustomed to the life pattern of "sleeping when it gets dark and getting up when it gets light".

As soon as the sun rose, someone shouted here, and someone else shouted there. It was so noisy that sleeping in became a luxury.

Generally speaking, everyone gets up at around four in the morning at the latest.

I haven't gone to bed yet at 10 o'clock this evening, and I got up early in the morning, and there is no lunch break to adjust at noon.

After a long time, even Qiao Lei, who was always energetic, couldn't bear it anymore.

There was no other choice, so Qiao Lei had to learn how to use the radio.

Every night the talk would stop at nine o'clock, followed by a classic line: "To know what happens next, please wait for the next episode!"

After saying that, he went to sleep without caring about anyone's reaction. During the lunch break, he refused to speak a word.

But these are all things for later.
