Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

After dinner, the two went to the freight station to pick up the package. Along the way, Chu Tingnan's mouth was like a machine gun, never stopping.

"I'll do it. Girls should be delicate and tender. This kind of hard work should be done by men!"

"You may look thin and small, but you are quite strong."

"No matter how capable a girl is, she has to act a little bit weak, otherwise when she finds a husband in the future, she will have to do all the dirty and tiring work."

"You can't be so rude, you won't be able to find a husband in the future!"

……

Jiang Yanqiu really regretted not rejecting him decisively before. Her ears were almost callused from talking all the way.

The two men pulled the things back. There were five steps in front of the gate, so they could only move them in through the gate.

An older woman saw them and immediately came over to greet them warmly: "Tingnan, this is your friend. Where does he work?"

Chu Tingnan replied, "Aunt Lai, my friend is an educated youth who just returned to the city. She is extremely poor. You must take good care of her in the future."

Aunt Lai stared intently at Jiang Yanqiu as she moved their sacks. She asked, "You newly returned educated youth, have you been assigned a job by the educated youth office? What goodies did you bring back? Are they specialties from the countryside where you were sent?"

Looking at the other party's overly enthusiastic eyes, and considering that Li Anan had previously introduced Aunt Lai as someone who loves to take advantage of small things and is the kind of person who won't show up until she sees the rabbit.

Before Chu Tingnan could speak, Jiang Yanqiu said with a smile: "Auntie Lai, hello! I'm Jiang Yanqiu, an educated youth who retired due to illness. I haven't found a job yet. If you have a suitable one, please introduce me to one."

Aunt Lai thought to herself that there are people in my family who need to find a job, so it won’t be your turn even if one is available.

But she didn't say much, she just stared at Jiang Yanqiu, as if she could tell what disease the other person had.

I asked curiously, "You educated youth who were discharged due to illness, what disease did you have? Why don't you stay at home and rent a house?"

Jiang Yanqiu said without thinking, "I'm in the late stage of tuberculosis. My family is afraid of being infected, so they paid for me to rent a house outside."

When Aunt Lai heard this, she ran away in a flash, muttering, "Oh, how pitiful! She's suffered so much! She's almost dead after going to the countryside. I'll go back and look after the pot first. Tingnan, you guys take your time moving."

Chu Tingnan gave Jiang Yanqiu a thumbs-up and shouted at the top of his voice, "Aunt Lai, please boil some hot water. I'll come to your house later to borrow some hot water for cleaning, and then stop by your house to drink some hot water."

The only response he got was Aunt Lai's jogging back and the sound of the door closing.

Chu Tingnan grinned, and if the situation allowed, he would definitely laugh out loud.

After the two of them finished moving their things into the house, Chu Tingnan finally spoke: "I didn't expect you to be so mean. Aren't you afraid that your lies will be exposed when you start working in the future?"

Jiang Yanqiu said nonchalantly, "Then I'll just say the Youth League Office arranged for me to be a temporary worker at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. I can work and treat patients at the same time. What's the problem?"

Chu Tingnan smiled and said, "You're the one who has the idea. This Aunt Lai is too shameless and wants to take advantage of everyone, and she even came to our yard. If she hadn't been scared away by you, she would definitely have taken something from you before leaving."

Jiang Yanqiu said with a little pride: "There are many aunts and aunties in our village who are more powerful than her. We have taken advantage of every one of them."

All they could get was to ask others to help with work, or pick some vegetables and fruits. Since they had more people, they didn't care about that.

Chu Tingnan nodded and said with a smile: "It can be seen that you and Tian Mi are both very capable, singing the same tune."

Jiang Yanqiu said modestly, "The most powerful one is Tian Mi. She became famous in one battle. Neither the locals nor the educated youth dared to mess with her. The second is the girl who got off the train in Quancheng. Compared with them, I am just a small shrimp at best."

Chu Tingnan said happily, "It can be seen that Li Conghui and Yang Wen were no match for Tian Mi that day."

Li Anan walked in with a few new locks and asked curiously, "Do you know Li Conghui?"

Jiang Yanqiu replied, "You know him too? We just happened to know each other, we're not familiar with each other."

After hearing this, Li Anan suddenly realized, "If it's the same person, then they know each other. My stepmother's ex-husband's daughter just came to my house recently."

Chu Tingnan said seriously, "It's the same person, Li Anan, you have to be careful, that person is not ordinary."

The methods he used to plot against Zeng Hua were one after another, each one revealing its own weirdness. He was also able to grasp other people's psychology, making it difficult for people to refuse him.

Not to mention Zeng Hua, that kind-hearted man, even if he met such a person, he wouldn't know how to refuse him.

Li Anan thought for a moment, then jokingly said, "So you climbed over the wall to peek at the excitement at my house the moment you came back that day."

Chu Tingnan laughed and said, "I didn't come to see your family's excitement. I just wanted to see if Zeng Hua would go into the spider hole. Fortunately, he's not that stupid."

Then, Chu Tingnan told Li Conghui everything he had done.

From pretending to be pitiful to get close to Zeng Hua, and planning to frame Zeng Hua with his family, to their chance encounter at the train station later.

Zeng Hua didn't want to pay attention at first, but the other party explained that he happened to know that Li's father and Zeng's mother worked in the same unit, so he did it on purpose, just to use crime to attract Li's father's attention.

Zeng Hua couldn't refuse because of his pitiful appearance.

Li Anan's face became more and more ugly. She even felt that the other party was responsible for her being kidnapped today.

Her stepmother probably doesn't want to kill her. She had deliberately misled Jiang Yanqiu to suspect her stepmother just to dispel Jiang Yanqiu's concerns!

It seems that I have to be more careful in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Anan handed the lock to Jiang Yanqiu and said, "Yanqiu, I have something to do and I'll leave first. I won't help you clean it up. You can do it yourself."

Jiang Yanqiu quickly stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going back soon too. I'll get you some local specialties from where we joined the queue."

"I'll give it to you next time." After saying that, Li Anan left in a hurry.

After Li Anan left, Chu Tingnan finally asked, "Where else are you going?"

"I'm going home. I haven't gone home yet."

After Jiang Yanqiu finished speaking, she took out a smoked chicken, some mushrooms and fungus from a sack, handed them to Chu Tingnan, and said, "Thank you for helping me move things. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back after the New Year."

Chu Tingnan quickly waved his hands and refused, saying, "It's a small matter. No need to give me anything. Just keep it for yourself. You look as thin as a stick. Give me the job recommendation form and I'll give it to Zeng Hua. I'll give you the money later."

Jiang Yanqiu handed Chu Tingnan the acceptance letter from the supply and marketing cooperative and the employment registration form, saying, "Take them together. I raised the chickens myself, and I picked the mushrooms and fungus from the mountains. It didn't cost much."

Chu Tingnan glanced at the blank form and said with a smile, "You never intended to work at the supply and marketing cooperative from the beginning. You didn't even fill in your name."

"It's better to be careful with jobs that come from unknown sources."

When I went to handle the formalities before, I used an disappearing pen to write it, so it must be blank now.

Chu Tingnan glanced at Jiang Yanqiu. She had thought that she was as nosy as Zeng Hua, but it seemed that she was mistaken. They were not the same person.

"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to Zeng Hua's workplace to exchange some money and will be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tingnan picked up the acceptance letter and employment form and disappeared.
