Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

The two were cleaning while talking when they heard someone knocking on the door. Li Anan opened the door and saw Chu Tingnan's look. She was so surprised that she blurted out, "Brother Tingnan, did you go fishing in the middle of winter? Why are you covered in mud?"

Chu Tingnan said nonchalantly, "I'm working as a plasterer in the urban construction team now. I just got off work."

Li Anan asked suspiciously, "Are you going to be a bricklayer?"

Chu Tingnan said disapprovingly: "Why? Is it not possible? Where is Jiang Yanqiu?"

Li Anan still looked puzzled and said, "He's packing up his things in the house. I just don't believe it."

Chu Tingnan's parents are both cadres, so it is not easy to arrange a good job for him. Why did he end up working as a plasterer?

However, Chu Tingnan ignored her doubts and walked into the house and said to Jiang Yanqiu, "Sister Yanqiu, you really dare to move in."

Jiang Yanqiu felt a little headache when she saw him, but she still said, "What's there to be afraid of? Can you eat people here?"

Chu Tingnan was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not the case. Is there anything I can help you with? I happen to be resting this afternoon."

Li Anan rolled her eyes, thinking that he was chasing her at home to pursue her partner, but it would be a waste to use the free labor.

Before Jiang Yanqiu could speak, he said, "Yanqiu is going to the freight station to pick up a package. Why don't you take your tricycle and go with me?"

"Okay, I'll go right away." Chu Tingnan was afraid that Jiang Yanqiu would refuse, so he ran away as soon as he finished speaking.

It was really a hectic year two ago!

Li Anan explained with a smile, "He may be mean-spirited, but he's not a bad person at heart. It's free labor that's delivered to my door, so why not use it?"

The other person meant well and had already said it, so Jiang Yanqiu couldn't refuse.

Chu Tingnan first went to the urban construction team to ask for leave, then went home to change his clothes, pedaled his tricycle and set off.

Nan Wanwu shook her head, took a lunch box filled with buns and handed it to her, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll pack some buns for you to eat on the way!"

Chu Tingnan waved his hand and said, "No, no, let's go out to eat."

It's so hard to get a chance to be alone, so of course we have to go out for a meal, which can also enhance our relationship.

Chu Tingnan didn't go to look for Jiang Yanqiu, but shouted directly from the next yard: "Sister Yanqiu, let's go."

Jiang Yanqiu said to Li Anan who was cleaning, "You don't need to clean too thoroughly. I won't be staying here until after the New Year, so there's no rush. You can go back to school."

Li Anan smiled and replied, "It's okay. I've already taken the day off today. It's okay if I don't go. I'm still studying now so it won't affect me."

Jiang Yanqiu took Chu Tingnan's tricycle to the freight station. After leaving the alley, Chu Tingnan asked, "Where do you work?"

Jiang Yanqiu replied, "I'm an apprentice at Jimin Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic."

This is not a secret. This place is just one street away from the Chinese medicine clinic. Everyone will know about it as soon as she starts working.

Chu Tingnan said, "No wonder you want to rent a house nearby. It's really convenient to be closer. How much rent does Li Anan charge you per month?"

Jiang Yanqiu answered truthfully: "It's said to be twelve yuan outside, but the street side calculates it by square meter and according to my salary, it's a little over four yuan a month."

It’s indeed not expensive. Li Anan’s house has a separate entrance and a large yard, and many people have been eyeing it before.

I don’t know how Li Anan kept it, and why she wants to rent it out now.

Chu Tingnan was silent for a moment and then said, "Let me tell you, your friend who wanted to buy you a job came to Zeng Hua yesterday and asked if she could help arrange a job for you. She offered 1,200 yuan. Unfortunately, my previous job was replaced by this one. You girls can't do this job, otherwise I would have sold it to her."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't expect that Tian Cheng would come to Zeng Hua to look for a job. It seemed that she really had no other choice.

Thinking of the situation of the Tian sisters at home, Jiang Yanqiu didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only sigh that it was a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.

But Zeng Hua seems to be a really good person. Even someone as arrogant as Tian Cheng asked him for help in finding a job. I wonder if Tian Mi knows this.

Jiang Yanqiu slapped her head and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I haven't finished my previous work yet. Did Zeng Hua agree to let Tian Cheng help her find a job?"

Only then did she remember that she had been so busy with housework all day that she had forgotten about her work.

Chu Tingnan asked in surprise: "Your previous job? Then where did you get your current job?"

Jiang Yanqiu said without hiding anything: "My previous job was in the supply and marketing cooperative, and now I work on the train. It was Aunt Sun who sat across from us who introduced me to this job."

After all, selling a job requires connections. It would be troublesome if someone reported her. She is unfamiliar with the place and doesn't know who to sell it to.

Chu Tingnan said with envy, "You are so lucky. There are so many people riding the bus with you, and they can all recommend you a job. Give me the quota for your previous job and I will give it to Zeng Hua to sell to your friend for 1,200 yuan. Then Zeng Hua will owe me a favor."

At this point, Chu Tingnan had already started thinking about how to ask Zeng Hua to repay this favor.

Jiang Yanqiu said hesitantly, "That's not a good idea. We all know each other. It would be so embarrassing if they found out. Besides, it would be too expensive."

Chu Tingnan hurriedly explained, "Jobs at the supply and marketing cooperative are very popular. If your secret is exposed in the future, just say that you exchanged this quota for your current job. You won't know what happens next.

You are lucky to have your current job because someone introduced you to it. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to arrange. Our family has put a lot of effort into getting us back.

Zeng Hua has already promised your friend to help find a job, and is now trying to find connections to introduce a job to your friend.

He didn't even think about how much effort his family had put into securing his job, and he readily agreed to it without worrying about not being able to do it. If I sell him this position now, he'll owe me a big favor."

Jiang Yanqiu thought it was okay, so she said, "Thank you so much. I'll treat you to a meal later. But I don't know who arranged that job for me. If it was arranged by my family, I could give you some money."

Chu Tingnan exclaimed again, "If this really works out, I'll really owe you a favor! But you're so lucky! Someone actually offered you a job, and I don't know who arranged it, but you dared to accept it, and you're not afraid of being sold out!"

Jiang Yanqiu was thinking that there was another job, but she didn't say it out loud. She just sighed and said, "It's much better than farming in the countryside. I'm either exhausted or freezing all year round. I was thinking about completing the procedures to return to the city as soon as possible, and then I'll see if there are other opportunities when I come back."

Chu Tingnan agreed and said, "That's right. Who can understand the hardships we educated youth have endured? Let's go eat first, and then go to the freight station."

"Okay, I'll treat you." She really hadn't eaten yet and had forgotten to invite Li Anan to join her.

Although she helped the other person out of a difficult situation, he accompanied her to handle the rental procedures, moved things to the guesthouse, and helped with cleaning, so it was only right that she should treat him to a meal.

She actually forgot that other people hadn't eaten either. She was getting more and more confused.
